Chapter 187 The Plague of the Capital City

People often say that it is very rare to change the emperor, but Jingguo is different. Unlike other countries, the emperor lives to a rare age, and then it is naturally different.

Jingguo has had three consecutive emperors who died in their prime of life. The mighty generation Wu Zong was only a teenager when he succeeded to the throne. He had only been in power for more than 20 years, and suddenly fell ill and died when he was ambitious.

Needless to say, the first emperor, since he succeeded to the throne, his health has been in decline. Although he finally lived to be 40 years old, he died in his prime, and now Huai Yunqian was 20 years old when he succeeded to the throne.

After the young monarch ascended the throne, the Lord Shaoguo often doubted that Huai Dongqing was particularly fierce at that time, and in the end it was Yan Ran who fought on the front line and retreated steadily, which made Huai Dongqing stand firm.

But now that Huai Yunqian had to straighten out the government at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, although he had military exploits in the past, they were all achievements in military governance, which was completely different from civil governance, so the government and the public did not think well of him.

Especially Chi Baiyuan's objection raised at the court meeting, although it was shelved by Huai Qianren in the end, it will inevitably become the talk of the common people in the market.

The streets and alleys are full of rumors about Huai Yunqian. This emperor is too maverick. His superiors did not appease the old ministers. Instead, he attacked the former first minister. At the same time, he has no family. No matter how you look at it, it is the best blueprint for spreading rumors. .

As a result, all kinds of rumors about Huai Yunqian spread, but he was afraid that he had a white-clothed servant in his hand. Without the blessing of the white-clothed servant, the rumors would only go too far.

Huai Yunqian heard that the rumors in the market were just jokes, and this kind of thing cannot be justified. In the past, the way of dealing with rumors was to ignore them, but Huai Yunqian's handling method was different.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested several rumor-mongers, and Huai Yunqian specially released them and educated them hard. These people were grateful to Dade for singing his praises, and the problem of rumors was solved in a short time.

It has been half a month since he ascended the throne, these days Huai Yunqian has been familiar with the affairs of the court, he has been away from the capital for too long, and he has only heard about many things.

For half a month, Huai Qianren talked about court affairs with him, which made him understand the current situation of Jingguo better. All in all, there are too many disadvantages in Jingguo today, especially concentrated on those officials.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs collected 20 million taels of tax silver 8000 years ago, but last year it only collected more than 3000 million taels of silver, which shows how much corruption has deepened in the past 20 years!" Huai Qianren sighed.

More than half of the more than 3000 million taels will be spent on side affairs. The military salaries of the frontier soldiers cannot be in arrears. For example, the salaries of some yamen in the capital have been stopped for half a year, but they still spend their days and nights without caring.

It can be seen that their more income is not in these places, but in those invisible incomes. These are the problems that Huaiyunqian urgently needs to solve.

"There are a few things to write down. The waiter in white must strictly check the expenses of officials. Once a corrupt person is found, if he pays in time, he can not be held accountable. If he is stubborn, he will be arrested and brought to justice immediately!
Secondly, the Yushitai, which was abolished in the past, will also start preparations immediately, and it will be handed over to an upright person. I will go to check it in person! " Huai Yunqian breathed a sigh of relief after issuing two imperial edicts in succession.

For the past half month, he has been dealing with political affairs in the palace. He heard that Nangong Xing has dealt with a lot of flies recently. It seems that he should also visit Nangong's house at a certain time, and scare the young people along the way.

"Uncle Wang, do you feel tired these days?" Huai Yun smiled slightly, and Huai Qianren was extremely tired after staying with him in the palace for half a month.

But Huai Qianren didn't feel tired. Instead, he had been left alone for 20 years, and the energy he had accumulated was finally released at once. At this time, he just wanted to make some achievements earlier.

"Your Majesty, the matter of taxation and banking cannot be rushed right now, especially the matter of Chi Baiyuan has not been resolved, and it is difficult to advance the matter of those officials, unless violence is used, but Jing Guo cannot afford chaos right now!"

It is said that Jing Guo is the most powerful, but when Huai Yunqian took the plate, he realized that Jing Guo is really riddled with holes, not to mention fighting a big battle, even if there is a disturbance in the northern border, he will have to kill him several times. I can't sleep for days and nights.

"Mr. Zhou showed me the memorial written by Sun Zhihou. The military settlement is indeed a good idea. You can order the local generals to start, but you need someone to supervise it." Huai Qianren mentioned the matter of the settlement.

"Then let the Ministry of War instruct this matter as soon as possible, and open up wasteland earlier today, so that we can catch up with the maturity of early wheat and early rice next year!" Huai Yunqian waved his hand, and there were more than a dozen edicts issued today.

The government affairs were finally over, Huai Yun rubbed his sore brows lightly, Huai Qianren sat aside and said with a smile: "Managing government affairs is sometimes no easier than fighting a war, Your Majesty has not fully adapted to it yet."

Although Huai Yunqian has always asked Huai Qianren to be called as before, but after all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and Huai Qianren still calls him His Majesty, which can be regarded as a reminder to himself.

"It's okay today. Uncle Wang and I are going out of the palace for a walk? I know there is a restaurant with good wine and meat, so I can go to try it." Huai Yunqian finally had the chance to go out after half a month in the palace.

Huai Qianren didn't refuse either, the two were born in the army, and they really don't like the general red tape. For them, drinking and eating meat is their way of doing things.

Since Huai Yunqian came to the throne, the emperor's access control in the palace was almost cancelled.In the past, the emperor did not like to go out of the palace. The reason was that the safety of the emperor could not be guaranteed, and most of the emperors were weak people.

But now Huai Yunqian's strength has reached the peak, and there are always white-clothed personal guards around him, so safety is enough to guarantee, so he will go out of the palace from time to time.

But today, when they were about to walk out of the palace gate, the forbidden army suddenly stopped them.Huai Qianren was a little unhappy, and raised the curtain of the car: "What's going on?"

"My lord, the palace has been a little restless recently. It's better for my lord to live in the palace for a few days!" The guard on duty hurriedly responded. Hearing this, Huai Yun, who was in the same car, poked his head out.

"What happened outside the palace? It's worth your fanfare? Could it be that the people from Rong and Di came calling?" Huai Yunqian joked, and when everyone saw that it was the emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, there has been a sudden outbreak of plague in the capital recently. It originally only broke out in the west of the city. Unexpectedly, a family outside the palace also suddenly broke out today. The Tai Hospital will go to rescue people before it can be reported in time!"

Hearing this, Huai Yunqian and his two complexions changed, and they hurriedly got out of the car to ask about the situation.The plague broke out in the capital for some time. At the beginning, it was only a few families in the west of the city, and even they were dragged into the wild.

But later this incident became more and more serious. In just three days, it swept through hundreds of households in the west of the city, and now it suddenly broke out outside the palace city, so the Tai Hospital hurriedly organized manpower to go to the rescue.

"Have the people from the pharmacy been sent?" Huai Yunqian didn't care about eating and drinking, and walked quickly in the palace with Huai Qianren, while Eunuch Han walked quickly beside him, introducing the situation.

"Right now, except for a doctor who is on duty, the Tai Hospital has sent out, and the pharmacy and civilian doctors have also gone to check on the plague, but this plague came suddenly, and there is no good solution for a while. "

Hearing this, Huai Yunqian's face was a bit ugly. After all, he had just ascended the throne, and before he had time to make drastic reforms, the plague suddenly came, which caught him off guard.

"How many people are infected in the city now?" Huai Yunqian took a map of the capital to show where the plague spread, but the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.

"Why doesn't this plague seem natural, but man-made." Huai Qianren also discovered the clues. It stands to reason that the plague broke out in the west of the city, but there were sporadic outbreaks in the east and south of the city.

The worst situation is in the west of the city, but it stands to reason that with the foot strength of ordinary people, no one will run from the west of the city to the east of the city to be a guest. There may be something wrong with this.

"Let the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple send some people to investigate. I don't believe that these people have grown wings and can run so far from the west of the city." Huai Yun gave the order coldly.

After all, the speed of the plague's spread caught the two of them by surprise. In just one night, the number of infected people soared from more than 500 people to [-] people. This is only a rough estimate.

"Your Majesty, we are currently investigating the method of infection. I implore Your Majesty to sit in the palace right now and never leave the palace rashly!" Last night, the imperial physician of the imperial hospital also infected one person.

At the same time that the plague is rampant in the capital, rumors also follow. It is rumored that Huai Yunqian took the throne firmly by killing his father and brother. This is the punishment from heaven.

This time, Huaiyunqian was not so easy to deal with. How to eliminate the plague was the most important thing.For this reason, he ordered the imperial army and the patrol battalion to block the streets and four gates, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter, asking the state capital near the capital to send medicine immediately. The capital is currently in short supply of medicinal materials for cooling and detoxification, so they must be dispatched immediately.

Huai Yunqian stayed up all night, and when the palace became quiet, he felt a little tired, but before he fell asleep, a white-clothed servant walked in quietly.

"Your Majesty, the princess is out of the palace today!"

Huai Yunqian opened his eyes suddenly, bloodshot eyes still in the eyes: "What is she going out for?"

"The princess went to check on the plague. The old man who picked up the vegetables every day in Shenyin's mansion also caught the plague, but it didn't spread."

The Nangong family has two genius doctors, Nangong Chang and Nangong Xing, and Nangong Su and others also have medical skills. Although the plague came suddenly this time, given the abundance of the Nangong family's collection, this plague will not hurt them.

If she stayed in the mansion, Nangong Xing would be safe and sound, but now she took the initiative to go to investigate the plague, which made Huai Yunqian unable to sit still.

"Come on, I want to leave the palace!"

Huai Yunqian changed into casual clothes and hurried out of the palace. His subordinates were waiting for him. The place they went this time was the West City that they were most interested in.

As soon as he landed, Huai Yunqian immediately gasped, he still underestimated the horror of this plague.

In the foggy weather, a person crawling out from time to time with blood all over his body makes people shudder.

Huai Yunqian searched for Nangong Xing's whereabouts, and at the same time saw the sick people, his heart sank.

"Your Majesty, the princess is over there!"
