Chapter 282 Gongde Temple (Fifth Watch)

But Su Tang, the daughter of destiny, looked at the young man speechlessly, and explained to him seriously, "You can see clearly, this is a monument of merit and virtue, a monument of merit and virtue recorded, and it is used to praise a person's deeds and contributions Yes, it's not a god, so you don't need to burn incense and kneel down!"

The young man didn't quite agree with Su Tang's words, and replied seriously, "My lord, take a look at what's written on it, change houses, change food, cure epidemics, spread kindness, save the suffering, if the last two points are righteous Humans may be able to do it, but are the first three points human beings able to do it?

I guess this stele is in the form of a stele of merit and virtue, not a god, just to tell people that this daughter of destiny is as real as a human being. "

"...You just want to be happy!" Seeing that what he said was well-founded, Su Tang was powerless to refute for a moment.

Do you want to tell him directly that I am the Daughter of Destiny, I am not a god but a man, but how to explain the matter of changing a house into food, they don't understand it, the explanation doesn't make sense, just don't waste your words, let them go.

On the way back, Su Tang remembered his doubts and asked the young man, "Why is there no one in the government here? Did they evacuate and where did they go?"

"I don't know. I heard that the prefect here died of an illness, and the people below suddenly became headless chickens. In addition, the disease here was already quite serious at that time, and people were panic-stricken. Many people fled in all directions. They went to other places, and some went to places where there were no people to escape the catastrophe, and the people in the government just walked away, dying, and then the government was empty!"

"Didn't the court send a new prefect after the death of the prefect?" Su Tang thought it shouldn't be, even if it was to prevent the victims from rioting, the court would not let no one maintain order here.

When the young man heard this, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "That is the direction leading to the inland. After the epidemic broke out, the imperial court sent troops to guard the pass there to prevent us from passing. Get close, shoot directly, this is to show that you don’t intend to control us.”

"But didn't you just say that people from the imperial court came here once and built a merit temple? It seems that the imperial court has not completely abandoned you!"

Su Tang did not comment on the actions of the Xizhao Kingdom's court. Everyone has a different standpoint, and their views and decisions on a matter will also be different, but it is undeniable that it is the common people who suffer the most.

"That's because some of the soldiers guarding the pass were also infected with the disease and couldn't control it for a while and had to retreat, so the disease spread throughout the Xizhao Kingdom.

Those of us were originally not the people of this city, we all escaped from various places, and in the end we were blocked here and couldn't pass. Can stay here and die.

As for the matter of the Gongde Temple, we have inquired about it from people who came here. They said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been missing for a long time, came back and brought back the cure for the epidemic, so we built Gongde Temples in various places for the people to worship! "

"So that's what happened!" Only then did Su Tang know the specific situation. No wonder those who died didn't even have a body collector!
When Su Tang returned to the gate of the city again, most of the people were already at their wits end. When they saw a few people coming back, they knelt down and thanked them for saving their lives.

"A small circle can save our lives, there must be a spell cast on it to be so powerful!"

"You are the envoy sent by the Daughter of Destiny to save us. We have nothing to repay for such a life-saving grace."

"..."

Su Tang pressed his hand to signal them to be quiet, "If you want to repay your kindness, I do have one thing to ask you."

"Please tell me, my lord, we will definitely help you!"

"That's right, please tell me, my lord!"

"On the way I came, I saw many dead people lying in the wilderness. I hope you can go back and help with the aftermath. If these corpses are not dealt with, they will pollute the water and cause new diseases. After you have used the medicine, you don't have to worry about this epidemic. infection, be careful not to touch the corpse, just pile it up with hay and burn it.”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely help!"

Su Tang bid them farewell and left. The road behind was still so horrible and desperate. Su Tang did not continue to treat them. The treatment of each of their cities was too slow. It is better to rush to the capital early and let the court send people down. is the fastest.

It wasn't until near the capital that the situation improved. Although the people here were still in panic, the infected people had been isolated, and the rest of the people could still maintain a normal life.

Compared with those villages where none survived, it was a world of difference.

Especially in Kyoto, as if it was not infested by the epidemic, it was peaceful and happy. Su Tang knew that under such a peaceful environment, how many people would be expelled to keep the last piece of pure land in Xizhao Kingdom.

It wasn't until their convoy drove into the gate of the capital that Wei Wei, who had visited Yanyang City before, came late, and hurriedly greeted him with someone.

"Why don't you let me know when the princess is coming, so we can go to meet you in advance. We have suffered a lot along the way!"

"Thinking that you all should be quite busy recently, we came here by ourselves!" Su Tang replied.

"...His Royal Highness is really considerate!" Lord Wei said with a sneer, the country of Xizhao is about to be wiped out due to the epidemic, can you not be busy?
"His Royal Highness has ordered, and I would like to invite you all to live in the East Palace!"

After Su Tang listened, he turned to look at Ya Su, "What do you think?"

"Listen to Your Highness!" Ya Su replied very tactfully, where she lived and what arrangements she had, she still had to listen to Su Tang, it was not suitable for her to say more.

"Then follow your arrangements!" Su Tang said.

Living in the East Palace, besides creating opportunities for the two of them, is more important to be safe. If anyone wants to harm her, he has to carefully consider the East Palace.

If you accidentally get charged with assassinating the prince, it's not a joke, it will implicate the whole family.

The East Palace where Jun Shiyi lived was very beautiful, and Xizhao Kingdom had a pleasant climate, which was considered a typical southern climate.

The small bridge and flowing water are full of flowers, which is very pleasant!

After Jun Shiyi greeted him, he first glanced at Ya Su, and then said to Su Tang, "Seeing you coming, I feel relieved! The domestic epidemic is almost uncontrollable now, and there are countless people every day." People lost their lives, and all kinds of reported memorials are piled up on the table, so it is too late to welcome you!"
