In just a few days.

The trend of public opinion in the newspapers has completely reversed.

The effect was remarkable, and the people were full of praise for the Yongle Emperor.

On the court.

The old man was so happy that he no longer stayed at Jiming Temple and returned to the palace.

Listen to the Ministry of Works Shangshu Wuzhong report the results:

"Your Majesty, like the corporal today, the people are vying to praise, calling Your Majesty the Great Ming Lord, exerting great efforts to govern, shocking the outside world, creating a grand situation that has never been heard of in the world, and prospering without the world!"

Wu Zhong looked excited!

Some time ago, he was impeached for this thing that is bad customs, creates rumors, and will cause popular revolt!

What now? What now!

Say it! Rate! Keep impeaching!

If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Wu killing a hundred, this kind of speech weapon in the newspaper would inevitably be banned!

He looked at the group of ministers proudly, and pretended to compliment: "You adults are very knowledgeable, I don't know what suggestions you have, please give me some advice?" "

Immediately aroused everyone's displeasure, and they all cursed angrily:

"Wu Zhong, Hugh is proud of his achievements!"

"What a shameless old puppy!"

"Lord Wu is the honor of Shangshu, isn't he afraid of losing his dignity by acting like this?"

“......"

"Okay, okay, all of you are all pillars of the imperial court, and it's really not like talking about it!" The old man became a peacemaker.

Turning his head and asking Zhu Zhantang: "It's rare to see you take the initiative to come to the upper dynasty, is there something wrong?" "

"This is Xu Bin, he is a talent, and you have arranged to serve as an attendant in the Criminal Department." Zhu Zhantang pulled out Xu Bin behind him, and after the introduction, he teased Shangshu of the Criminal Department:

"Master Liu, I accidentally killed your right-hand man a few days ago, and I was a little overwhelmed, so I specially helped you find someone, are you happy?"

Liu Guan was so angry that the nine holes smoked.

What does Nima mean by people?

Accidentally killed? Don't go away afterwards? Also specially helped find someone?

This is clearly intended to install spies!

I couldn't afford to provoke it, so I could only force a smile and thank you: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Wu for recruiting great talents for my criminal department!" "

The two words of Dacai, he gritted his teeth, and his pronunciation was very heavy!

Obviously very upset, but helpless.

Zhu Zhantang saw his appearance, and he was in a good mood, and said cheerfully: "Master Liu doesn't have to be polite, you can just be satisfied!" "

Liu Guan no longer spoke, he wanted to get angry, but he recalled the other party's strange killing methods at that time, and he shuddered!

The picture in my mind is still vivid, and all the anger can only be held back, and it is unbearably tight!

"What else do you have to do?" If nothing happens, then retreat. The old man changed the topic with his words to avoid Liu Shangshu being angry to death.

The main reason is that the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department cannot be replaced for the time being.

Otherwise, just because this old thing dares to go against his beloved grandson, it is not a pity to die!

"Your Majesty, Lu Zhen of the Ministry of Ceremonies has something to say!" At this time, an old minister stood up with a sad face.

"Lu Shangshu, but it doesn't hurt to talk."

"Last month, a major epidemic broke out in the five counties of Dinghai, Mingzhou, and now that the disaster has eased, the minister suggested that His Majesty take the stage to pray to the heavens, and ordered the blockade of the county to be lifted, so as not to provoke a popular revolt."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes were slightly red, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Is the number of deaths counted?" "

Plague is a common scourge that breaks out every few years.

Each outbreak takes the lives of a large number of people.

Since ancient times, no one has been able to do anything about this catastrophe.

"According to statistics, the number of dead has reached more than 23,000!" Elder Lu Zhen burst into tears and choked up.

“......"

The courtiers mourned and bowed their heads one after another.

At this time, you must not speak at will, and try to show sadness.

If you don't say a word correctly, you may become a punching bag for His Majesty the Emperor!

But Zhu Zhantang didn't care about these unspoken rules, and frowned: "Why didn't you send imperial doctors to treat them in the first place?" "

"His Royal Highness King Wu, it's not that we don't want to save, we can't save it at all!"

"There are too many people infected, even if all the staff of the hospital are mobilized, they can't cure it!"

"After floods and droughts, plagues are inevitable, food harvests fail, famine is triggered, and the people are so hungry that they eat everything they can see, what bark and grass roots, what snakes, insects, rats and ants, and even if the situation is serious, they will be easy to eat!"

"In this way, it is extremely easy to contract unknown diseases, and then the old and weak will die, the corpses will not be disposed of, and the hot weather will naturally lead to all kinds of strange plague outbreaks."

"Yes! The best way is to restrict the people from fleeing everywhere, seal off cities and villages, send troops to bury the bodies, choose an auspicious day for the emperor to pray to heaven, and wait for the plague to spread almost in place, and after the effect is weakened, then let the imperial hospital consult and apply medicine, so that the three-pronged approach can minimize the loss. "

“......"

Everyone was afraid of causing King Wu's anger, and hurriedly explained the reason with a word.

But Zhu Zhantang was still angry, and scolded: "Pray a fart!" That's how we handle it? Life or death? "

Heavenly Dao is unconscious and has no feelings, how can it be possible to care about these broken things for human beings?

In the eyes of Heavenly Dao, it makes no difference if a person dies or a bug dies!

Prayer? It's just a waste of time.

"That's how we've always done it!"

"In the first month of the sixth year of Yongle, the two cities of Jianchang and Fuzhou, Jianning and Shaowu broke out one after another, and more than 78,000 people died."

"In the eighth year of Yongle, from the beginning to June in Ninghai County, Dengzhou, more than 6,000 people died of the epidemic, followed by the epidemic in Shaowu Bi, and by the end of the year, more than 94,000 people died."

"In July of the ninth year of Yongle, there was another epidemic in Henan Buzhengsi and Shaanxi Buzhengsi, and the number of deaths was about 150,000."

"Your Highness King Wu, you don't know something, this is a natural disaster! Non-manpower can interfere, only when the situation eases down, the imperial court will send officials to allocate grain and funds to pacify the aftermath! "

Everyone looked confused and did not think there was anything wrong with this approach.

For thousands of years, dynasties and generations have basically done this, is there a better way?

“...... Ay! Zhu Zhantang was speechless, his heart tired.

It was not clear before, but now it only feels like it is off the spectrum!

In the Yongle dynasty, only eleven years have passed, because of a few plagues, nearly 400,000 people have died!

What is this natural disaster, which cannot be interfered with unless manpower?

I can't explain it to this group of idiots, and I can't explain many things.

He had to ask for specific information: "How many people are still infected in the five counties of Dinghai, Mingzhou?" "

"There is no way to know the specifics, the old minister estimates that there are still 780,000 people, but these people are mostly young and strong, and the probability of death is not large, and in the end, they will die about three layers above the sky!"

Three floors!!

This Nima is still called the probability of death?

More than 20,000 people have already been hanged, and they have to hang another 20,000 to be willing?

In the end, it was not the Daming Dynasty that was damaged?

Do you understand what it means to dump the nest and finish the eggs?

Without paying attention to them again, Zhu Zhantang turned his head and said to the old man: "I will deal with this matter, and the imperial court will only allocate disaster relief grain and wages!" "

"You go in person?" The old man was stunned, and couldn't wait to ask: "Can it be solved?" "

"The plague, just consume True Yuan and make a few spiritual rains!" Zhu Zhantang nodded.

"Good!" The old man was very pleased.

He was very happy to see fewer people dying.

The position is different, maybe the ministers of the DPRK don't care, they think it's just a bunch of numbers, but when the emperor naturally hopes that the people will live and work in peace, the number of people will increase, and the overall national strength can become stronger and stronger!

After the dispersal of the dynasty.

The old man left the crown prince Zhu Gaochi alone.

First, he praised: "What a good son you gave birth!" "

Zhu Gao was stunned and took over the topic: "Father Emperor Xie praised, Zhantang is indeed very good, capable, has ideas, the only drawback is..."

Without waiting for him to finish, the old man interrupted: "Boss, what do you think of Zhantang succeeding to the throne?" His insight and cognition belong to the upper level, and his strength can suppress the martial generals of Wen Chen, and he can convince the second and third elders, which seems to be a good choice! "

“...... I don't object to Zhantang being the emperor, but what about Zhanji? Zhu Gaochi silently raised concerns.

"I... I don't know. The old man was entangled.

This is also the most annoying point for him, and changing successors is indeed not fair to Zhanji.

Both are his beloved grandchildren, and the palms and backs of their hands are meat.

Don't hurt one because you favor the other!

It's okay to be partial to his sons, and he can't do it with his grandsons!
