Chapter 313 The Plague

There are many animals in northern Mongolia, and the plague first started from the animals. The officials there didn't take it seriously, and gradually caused the plague to humans.

"what?"

Xie Yuheng and Xu Wenguang were surprised at the same time, and the face of the emperor sitting on the upper dragon chair suddenly sank.

"Your Majesty, my lords, my dynasty has been plagued by plagues since the establishment of the dynasty, and every time, there were heavy casualties." Jiang Shilang mentioned this matter, and the expressions of the monarchs and ministers in the imperial study were not good.

"According to the usual practice, there will be a plague every spring. Unexpectedly, there will be a plague in late autumn, and it will soon enter the cold winter. At that time, refugees will be everywhere, and the people will suffer, and life will be even more difficult. gone."

Needless to say, the next day's morning court took this matter as the main court meeting, and the emperor asked the courtiers to come up with a feasible solution, preferably with effective medicine to control the plague, so that it could be done once and for all.

Emperor Mingzheng sat high on the dragon chair, his face sank like water, and he heard the courtiers shouting three times: "I see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

However, the emperor asked Wu Zhi to send down the memorial sent by Jiang Shilang yesterday for the courtiers below to read.After chattering for a while, there was no follow-up.

Emperor Mingzheng looked at the officials below, feeling complicated and unspeakable...
I just feel that the old blood is stuck in the throat again, and the usual sesame-sized matters are discussed in the court, and everyone becomes a storyteller's quick mouth, talking about opponents who have different political views.

This is the time when it is a big event, and everyone has come to saw the mouth gourd.

They are worried that they will be a rafter in the early days, and they are afraid that they will be sent to Sichuan for business, which is a thankless job!

Seeing that they were silent, Emperor Mingzheng wanted to find fault.

So, he asked by name: "Teacher Ji?" Emperor Mingzheng looked down at him, who was standing at the front, as a good father-in-law with dark eyes, and his voice was indescribably cold.

Taishi Ji, an old fox, saw the emperor's roll call, and immediately walked to the middle, wearing a brocade robe of Dukehua with a diameter of five inches, and a jade crown tied with a head of thin gray hair, facing Ming Zheng who sat high on the head. The emperor raised his hands and said, "The old minister is here!"

Afterwards, he recommended and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister recommends Governor Xie to go to northern Mongolia to cure the plague."

As soon as Taishi Ji finished speaking, before the emperor could say anything, the elder Bai Ge held the jade wat high in both hands and bowed to the emperor above him, echoing, "Your Majesty, this old minister has exactly the intention."

Immediately after, the other ministers also echoed in the same way: "The ministers wait for a second opinion!"

Ah!
Emperor Mingzheng couldn't help being happy, cooperating with the court, Xie Yuheng was the only person who could order him around, so he had to come forward to do everything?
Even if you squeeze the wool, you can't squeeze it all on one sheep!

Is it possible that the imperial court spends their salaries to support so many ministers, and usually saves them to raise salted fish?
Xie Yuheng, who stood there silently, had always been a capable minister at the head of the horse, and this was really the first time that he was doing the salty fish that Emperor Mingzheng slandered.

He has selfish intentions today, his little girl will arrive in the capital today, he wants to accompany her well and settle her down.

Emperor Mingzheng threw the problem to Prime Minister Xu again: "What does Xu Aiqing think?"

Who is Prime Minister Xu?After decades of immersion in officialdom, how could he not hear the displeasure in the emperor's tone?

Therefore, he had to recommend another person to serve as the minister to northern Mongolia this time. Therefore, he took a step forward confidently and said to the emperor above him: "Your Majesty, my minister recommends the minister of the Ministry of Rites Bai." Sir, go to northern Mongolia to control the plague."

When Grand Master Bai heard it, hey!Hello Xu Lin!Is it easy to go to Mengbei?Not to mention the high mountains and the long roads, just because of the sturdy folk customs there, and the food of mare's milk and millet, outsiders are not acclimatized to the water and soil and cannot squat.Why didn't you recommend your son Xu Pengcheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War?

Therefore, he hastily stepped forward and told the emperor: "This time, the road to Mengbei Mountain is far away. I am afraid that it will be difficult for civil servants to take on this important task. The veteran recommends Xu Pengcheng, the servant of the Ministry of War, as the best candidate."

When Emperor Mingzheng heard this, Long Yan was slightly angry!
What do these two veterans mean?It seems that the epidemic is not taken seriously, and the two are trying to undermine each other?
"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Emperor Ming Zheng who was sitting on the dragon chair suddenly spoke.

That frosty voice instantly made the ministers who were still arguing just now stop talking.

Just as he was about to reprimand him in a deep voice, when Xie Yuheng heard Grand Master Bai mention generals, he immediately thought of this year's champion Xu Jinshen.

Therefore, he took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend one person."

Ok?
Emperor Mingzheng and all his officials were taken aback, saying that Xie Yuheng had never recommended anyone, most of them were self-recommended or appointed by the emperor to go out on business.

Xie Yuheng raised his eyes to look at the senior ministers beside him, held the jade wat in both hands and said to the emperor above him: "My minister recommends Xu Jinshen, the champion of the new science and martial arts, to go to northern Mongolia to fight against the plague."

"Xu Jinshen, the new champion of martial arts?"

"How can he take on such a big task?"

"Xu Jinshen? Isn't that the son of Governor Xu Wei of Ganzhou?"

When Emperor Mingzheng heard it, huh?OK!
When this kid was in Qinzhou, I saw that he was not someone in the pool.She has a straightforward character and did not disappoint me. She won the championship in one fell swoop on the stage where there are so many masters!
Xu Jinshen has the demeanor of being a father, and will be the second Xu Wei in the future.

I hope he will be even better in the future, Xu Wei is the second Xu Wenguang!
Thinking of this, Emperor Mingzheng nodded his jaw and said, regardless of the discussions among the ministers: "Well, Xie Aiqing's suggestion of Sheng Jia is exactly what I want."

Wu Zhuangyuan is awarded the third-rank general, Wu Bangyan is awarded the third-rank guerrilla, and Wu Tanhua is awarded the fourth-rank capital.

Therefore, both Xu Jinshen and Ji Yu are eligible to participate in the early court.

When Xu Jinshen heard the emperor's roll call, he immediately took a step forward, and said in a firm voice, "I obey the order!"

If Xie Yuheng hadn't recommended him to Mengbei, he would have recommended himself.

Ji Yu felt itchy when he saw his senior brother go to Mengbei.In a hurry, he walked forward quickly, and introduced himself to the emperor above him: "My Majesty, I am willing to go to Mengbei with Lord Xu, and I will escort them all the way." Ji Yu said immediately, fearing that the emperor would not allow it.

The emperor glanced at Xinkewu Tanhua Jiyu, admiring his fearlessness in his heart.

Others can't shirk it, and he was forced to go to Mengbei. He is a fool, and he is afraid that I will not agree.

"Well, yes!"

Ji Yu grinned like a child to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"This time I am going to Northern Mongolia, Minister of Rites, Bai is the imperial envoy, Minister of the Ministry of War Xu Pengcheng and Xinke Wu champion Xu Jinshen are the generals, and Ji Dusi is the escort. Today and tomorrow I will call the Imperial Hospital to prepare medicinal materials, and leave the day after tomorrow." Ming Zhengdi finished. His majestic black eyes glanced at the officials below.

Bai Wei and Xu Pengjin didn't have the arrogance of Xu Jinshen and Ji Yu. In front of the emperor and ministers, they barely lost their composure and held the jade wat in their hands: "I obey the order!"

Wu Zhi said loudly at the right time: "Report if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"
