Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 496 Li Yuan Restoration
The first year of Zhenguan, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Shimin's reign title had just been activated, and dozens of smallpox patients suddenly appeared in and around Chang'an City.

Moreover, this situation is constantly spreading. In just one day, the number of smallpox patients has increased to more than 100.

At the beginning, there were doctors treating these patients, but as the number of patients increased, and they were diagnosed after they had smallpox.

Anyone who got smallpox was thrown into a dead end.

There are guards guarding the entrance of the dead end. As long as those smallpox patients try to escape, they will be killed immediately.

For those patients, they have been abandoned, only to die.

Smallpox began to wreak havoc near Chang'an City, and Li Shimin hadn't closed his eyes for several nights.

In the palace, a group of officials stood in the imperial study.

"How could you be like this, how could you be like this?" Li Shimin's expression was ugly, he was a little desperate, he just used the reign name of Zhenguan, but the rare smallpox came, did God deliberately oppose him?

The wind outside was still blowing. There used to be a heating kang in the imperial study room, but it has stopped now, so everyone standing inside felt bitingly cold.

Changsun Wuji glanced at the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered people to search for smallpox patients everywhere. As long as we find all the smallpox patients, kill them and burn them, the spread of smallpox can be stopped. Your Majesty, don't worry too much." .”

Faced with this situation, one must be ruthless. Since those patients with smallpox are as terrifying as the plague, they can only be killed.

Only by killing them can more people be prevented from being infected with smallpox.

This is ruthless, but it is the only thing they can do now.

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin raised his head suddenly: "Killed?"

He was a little shocked, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He couldn't bear to kill people like this. It was just ordinary people, and they were killed just because they got sick?
"My lord, I have no choice but to kill."

Changsun Wuji's tone didn't show any emotion at all, he knew that as long as he had a little maneuver, Li Shimin might not be able to make up his mind.

In order to prevent smallpox from raging, he could only be cruel, cold-blooded, and cold-hearted.

Li Shimin's eyes were a little dazed, and after a long time, he finally asked, "When will Miracle Doctor Sun come back?"

Sun Simiao is a genius doctor, maybe he can cure this disease.

Changsun Wuji said: "Master Sun has already sent someone to invite him, it will take at least three or four days."

Three or four days is not short, Li Shimin hesitated, and said: "Then wait for another three or four days, all those who carry smallpox will be sent to Dead Man's Lane."

To prevent the spread of smallpox, the only way to lock up those who got smallpox, but Li Shimin had some hope in his heart, hoping that Sun Simiao could cure the disease.

Otherwise, it's really hard to say what will happen to my Tang Dynasty.

After all, when smallpox ravages, it is not as simple as killing hundreds of people. Now many people have smallpox, and near Chang'an City, it is not known how many people have had smallpox and have not yet had an attack. If the raging continues like this, can they Just keep killing?
If he killed 1000 people, Li Shimin would be scolded by the world.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't say much, so they could only follow his instructions and wait for Sun Simiao's arrival.

Zhao Wangfu.

Because of his dedication to clairvoyance, and because Li Yuanjing often expressed his loyalty to Li Shimin, now Li Yuanjing has gradually been reused.

The raging smallpox made Li Yuanjing stay at the house now and dare not go out easily.

However, the raging smallpox caused panic in the capital, but Li Yuanjing suddenly came up with a plan.

Just as Li Shimin used his own year name, such a thing happened in Datang. Can it be said that God is punishing Li Shimin?
Although Li Shimin named his reign name Zhenguan, but his throne came not rightly, God just wanted to punish him.

Thinking of it, Li Yuanjing immediately ordered: "Come here..."

The spread of speech is worse than smallpox.

After Li Yuanjing ordered to go down, at dusk that day, some remarks in the capital had already begun to spread.

"The current Holy Majesty won the throne incorrectly, God is punishing him."

"It's a pity that we, the people, have suffered."

"Oh, the Holy Majesty is really harmful. I think we should invite the Supreme Emperor. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, there was no disaster in the capital. Do you think so?"

"That's right, that's right, we're going to invite the Supreme Emperor out, we're going to restore the Supreme Emperor..."

Because the disaster of smallpox broke out just after the change of the reign name of Zhenguan, coupled with Li Yuanjing's operation, the call for Li Yuan's restoration quickly spread in Chang'an City, and it became louder and louder.

Early the next morning, many people gathered in Chang'an City, Zhuque Street, and in front of the palace gate.

"Please restore the Supreme Emperor, please restore the Supreme Emperor..."

"The Holy Majesty's position is not right, the punishment of heaven has been sent, please restore the Supreme Emperor..."

"........."

In front of the gate of the palace, more and more people gathered, and as the number of people increased, these people became more and more daring to speak, and they shouted loudly what they could only say in private before.

Li Shimin's improper position has always been a taboo in the Tang Dynasty, but because of the panic caused by smallpox, now they don't even care about this taboo.

With so many people, does Li Shimin dare to kill them all?

The screaming continued, and in front of the palace gate, a group of pro-army armed with weapons intercepted them. As long as these people wanted to rush into the palace, they would dare to kill them. This was their duty.

The people gradually became a little angry, and their emotions became more and more agitated.

The threat of death hangs overhead, making them forget more dangers.

These circumstances were quickly spread to Zhao Wangfu.

Li Yuanjing heard that many people had begun to force Li Shimin to abdicate, and after giving up the throne to Li Yuan, Li Yuanjing showed a slight smile.

He knew that with Li Shimin's temperament, he might not be able to relinquish the throne he had obtained, but the chaos of the people would put some pressure on Li Shimin.

Moreover, if the news of his father Li Yuan's restoration spreads, the other vassal kings probably won't miss this opportunity.

As long as those vassal kings hear the news and come to support and restore Li Yuan, maybe the world of Tang Dynasty will really have some different trends.

Today's Li Yuanjing needs the Tang Dynasty to be more chaotic, otherwise, if the world is governed by Li Shimin in an orderly manner, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and other feudal states submit to him, then what strength does he have to fight for the throne?

This time, he wanted to see how Li Shimin would solve this problem. He felt that no one could save Li Shimin.
