Chapter 271 Smallpox
The two grand masters came out: "I obey the order."

"Farewell to Your Majesty." Everyone bowed.

After seeing off everyone, Su Nancheng smiled: "Master Cao, please."

Cao Zhengde glanced at Su Nancheng indifferently, and flicked his sleeves: "Hmph!"

Li Shilang glanced at Su Nancheng without making any expression.

Since some news was sent to him by Su Nancheng, he should bring up the matter of overturning the Luo family's case.

After leaving the main hall, Cao Zhengde looked at Su Nancheng coldly: "There is really Lao Su in command."

He gritted his teeth when he said this, Su Nancheng knew that he was angry at this moment, so he didn't provoke him.

"My lord, please be polite. This is what a subordinate official should do."

Cao Zhengde snorted again, and walked forward.

After Su Nancheng left the palace, people from the city defense battalion followed him, and a group of people 'escorted' Cao Shangshu back to the mansion.

The Cao Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, and the mansion is big enough in the best location.From the plaque at the door and the bamboo on the porch, it can be seen that this house is different.

The vermilion lacquer on the gate was newly painted, bright red.

But at this time, the door was full of soldiers in light armor.

"My lord, please, the lower officials will not go in." Su Nancheng stood at the door.

In terms of emotion and reason, Cao Zhengde shouldn't just go in and ignore Su Nancheng, anyway, he is also a leader of the third rank.But at this moment, Cao Shangshu was so annoyed that he didn't bother to care about it, and just left.

It was the housekeeper of the Cao family who came over politely and said good things, and arranged for everyone to get tea.Zheng Chengye stopped him with a wave of his hand: "No need, I won't bother you when I have military affairs."

"From today onwards, entry and exit must be registered in this mansion. Except for shopping, other people don't have to enter and exit for the time being, so as not to make it difficult to communicate with His Majesty."

"Yes, yes, my little one understands." The butler walked away in fear.

This is the case in the capital city, no matter how big an official you are or how big your mansion is, once it is overthrown, it will happen in an instant.

The Cao family is really unlucky now.

"My lord, you should go back first, I have a humble job." Zheng Chengye said to Su Nancheng.

"Look carefully, and don't be afraid of anything else. Since this job is in our hands, we should guard against their collusion. Buyers must be careful, and don't change people every day. The people who came to the house to deliver food and drink changed people. They won’t be given in. You won’t die of starvation for a day or two, but the person who changes may not be reliable.”

Doesn't this happen often, when a nephew comes instead of an uncle, or a nephew comes instead of uncle, something goes wrong.

"Yes, my lord reminded me, I will remember it."

"Although Cao Shangshu's official position is high enough, we must beware of someone trying to tell him to shut up forever. You should pay attention to the food you send into the mansion." Su Nancheng said again.

"Yes, but it can't be? Who has such courage?" Zheng Chengye was curious.

"Not necessarily, I just remind you. Well, let's work hard for a few days." Su Nancheng got on the horse: "Brothers, work hard for a few days and work hard."

"Yes, I will send you off to my lord." Everyone said in unison.

As soon as Su Nancheng returned to the city defense camp, someone came to report: "My lord, the palace has summoned you to enter the palace immediately."

Su Nancheng frowned: "What happened?"

"The subordinates don't know, but the father-in-law who came to pass the message obviously has other places to go."

Su Nancheng nodded, and rode directly to the palace again, not panting this morning.

In the Daqing Palace, the emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Su Nancheng subconsciously looked at Cheng Kanghou, but Cheng Kanghou just shook his head slightly at him.Indicating that this is not his business.

Su Nancheng is relieved now, it must not be the Beiyi people calling, otherwise the emperor can't be so calm.

When it was almost time to come, the emperor waved his hand: "Everyone, please sit down and talk, thank you Jingzu, read."

Eunuch Xie went out and read the urgent report sent in front of him.

Everyone listened, and none of them looked good.

To put it simply, there is smallpox in Xiongshanguan, and all three counties in Guanxia have cases.There are already many in the army.

"Smallpox has never been cured since ancient times..." Grand Master Tang stood up, "What's going on here?"

"Everyone, please tell me, how to solve this?" Emperor An's head really exploded: "If something happens at Xiongshan Pass, won't the Beiyi people take the opportunity to go south?"

"Your Majesty should immediately call the Tai Hospital to find a solution, and I will find a doctor outside to gather together for treatment." Cheng Kanghou also got up.

"What's the use? Smallpox broke out in the south during Emperor Rui's reign, and the entire city was empty." Grand Master Tang frowned: "But at that time the city could be closed, but now it can't. That's Xiongshan Pass..."

Everyone chattered, and Su Nancheng frowned.Smallpox is not a curable disease. Once caught, there is a high mortality rate, and the infection rate is even higher.

Even under the hygienic and dietary conditions of later generations, the fatality rate of smallpox is ridiculously high.Nowadays, the nutrition of this diet cannot keep up, the sanitary conditions are worrying, and the death rate will be higher.

Once the army explodes on a large scale...

The noisy emperor had already sat there not knowing what to say, and those conventional methods were useless.

If the [-] soldiers and horses of Xiongshanguan were damaged due to smallpox, half of the country would be given away.Fei Jiu is still over there!

"Your Majesty." Su Nancheng's voice was louder than everyone else's: "I am willing to go to Xiongshan Pass to see for Your Majesty. Please also allow me to bring a few imperial physicians and medicinal materials to the north. The weather is cold now, and the outbreak of the disease is not fast. If it cannot be suppressed as soon as possible I'm afraid it will be out of control in spring. No matter what, I am willing to check the situation for His Majesty."

"Chiyu! How can you go? If you contract this disease, you are close to death!" The emperor frowned subconsciously.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries for His Majesty." Su Nancheng knelt down: "Su Chiyu's wealth, life, and official position are all given by His Majesty. It is his duty to do as much as usual. Now that something like this has happened, I am more than everyone here. The adults here are all young, so they should lead by example. Don’t worry, Your Majesty, with the protection of His Majesty’s Dragon Qi, nothing will happen to you. I also ask Your Majesty to agree.”

When Su Nancheng said this, Cheng Kanghou's heart also trembled. He was also afraid that something would happen to Su Nancheng.

But he is an extremely rational person, and he would never drag Su Nancheng's hind legs at this time, so he also knelt down: "Your Majesty, although Chiyu is young, he has a responsibility. It's not that the old minister praised his own grandson himself. This kind of It's time for young people to exercise. Smallpox cannot be cured, but His Majesty always needs to know what's going on ahead. Let him go and take a look for His Majesty. After all, the [-] soldiers of Xiongshan Pass are the ones who defend the country. Pillar!"

"Teacher, get up, get up." Emperor Andi came to support Cheng Kanghou himself: "How many times have I told you that you are my teacher, and you are not facing up, what are you doing kneeling?"

"Chiyu get up too, you have the guts... well, what can I say?"
