Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 456
At the end of April, the sky is bright.

In the sunny and warm weather, the summer cicadas that have shed their heavy shells climbed up the treetops, only to wait for the hardened wings to make the summer noisy again.

With a trace of scorching sun shining on the eaves of the palace, the hanging palace bells rang slightly in the breeze, and there were rustling voices of people talking.

"Lingzhou, is there a plague in Liangzhou?"

"Countless casualties, I just received two consecutive letters from Lingzhou's security guards! The dispatched lieutenant couldn't resist, and withdrew from Liangzhou City. All [-] soldiers surrounded the city and were not allowed to enter or leave. "

Looking at the civil and military humerus who was urgently summoned in the side hall, Li Shimin's words were a little helpless, and there were already dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night on his slightly tired face.

Wen and Wu sitting on both sides of the hall heard the news, all of them looked dignified and remained silent.

The plague is not unique to the Tang Dynasty. It happened as early as the Han Dynasty, and even in various dynasties before.

There are millions of corpses, and corpses are everywhere.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the famine and riots in the future.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that people of this era would change face upon hearing the plague.

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, seeing that Wenwu's humerus was silent, he continued to speak.

"Lingzhou, the land of Liangzhou, has just gone through the catastrophe of the great war, and the hearts of the people have not yet calmed down. It is really overwhelming for people to suffer from this catastrophe."

"The genius doctor Sun has already stated in my heart that this is the plague! Everyone knows something, whoever touches it will die. A few members of the family in the stone city were helping the soldiers carry the corpses on the street the day before, and all died of the disease overnight. "

"Tracing back to the big man, and even before, there are not a few cases like this, not tens of thousands, 10,000+ or ​​even millions of deaths, just those sick corpses can flood the city..."

Being able to call these humerus, Li Shimin didn't vent his worries, but calmed down the matter with a discussion tone, and the words he said were not as majestic and domineering as before.

"I know that these are some people with bad intentions, or some people with a heart to deceive the public. In private, you should also pay attention to these nonsense that take the opportunity to fool the people and talk about the wrath of the heavens..."

After saying a few off-topic words, Li Shimin opened his eyes slightly and said.

"Tell me, in addition to dispatching military doctors to support, you also need those strategies."

A mere plague is not enough to make Li Shimin helpless and panicked, but more to be annoyed by one incident after another recently, his heart is inevitably depressed, and his head feels a little insufficient.

Among the figures on both sides, Changsun Wuji saw that no one was speaking, so he cupped his hands and took the lead.

"His Majesty."

"Since ancient times, the plague has been difficult to prevent. Nine out of ten people will die, and the bones will make your scalp numb."

"Now that the weather is getting hotter, the dry eyes at noon in the western border will intensify the spread of the disease. If these people are not restrained and enter the densely populated middle-earth, the consequences will be disastrous."

The figure on the couch nodded slightly and opened his mouth.

"What Changsun Aiqing said is true. I ordered to guard the border along the Yellow River to strictly check the traders and vagrants from the western region."

"But in the final analysis, it's all about treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. How to diagnose and treat the disease is a matter for the doctor, but changing the food and payment for disaster relief is what our court should do."

Slightly raised his head, looked at Hubu Shangshu sitting on the seat at the end of the hall, Li Shimin slowly raised his hand.

"Tell me about the disaster relief in Lingzhou and Liangzhou."

The figure at the end was a little nervous and hesitant, and when everyone's eyes came together, he got up and fell to his knees on the floor with a 'plop'.

"Your Majesty! My minister...damn it!"

dong dong.

The sound of kowtow came out.

Hubu Shangshu trembled as if he was sifting chaff, and the moment he pushed to the floor, he was dripping with cold sweat.

"The war is over, but the people of the entire western frontier are in a panic. Those who have homes have seen the tragic situation in the village before and dare not go back. Those who have not yet returned home, when they heard that the disaster food in Lingzhou had arrived, they frantically went to fight for it, so that In the entire western frontier, the personnel cannot be counted, and the disaster food has not been distributed for a long time..."

"Your Majesty...my minister..."

After waving his hand to interrupt the words, Longyan would be furious if left outside, but now that the plague is in front of him, Li Shimin has no heart to care about these gains and losses. After all, as long as the disaster food is not lost, it is a good thing.

"Let's leave this matter at this point. It doesn't matter if it is placed in Lingzhou, at least it is better than Liangzhou, which was previously blocked."

"Right now, there is a problem, but Miracle Doctor Sun has hired some people with superb medical skills to help. Miracle Doctor Sun also stated in the letter that this kind of plague is something that has never been seen before..."

These words are tantamount to imposing a death sentence on the frontier, and it also brings uneasiness to these people in the imperial city.

The faces of all the humerus present here turned pale, and there was a feeling of hopelessness and despair in their hearts.

The catastrophe is imminent, and now even Miracle Doctor Sun is at a loss what to do, and the military doctors sent by the entire court may only be able to help and start to have the slightest research and development effect.

"His Majesty!"

After a long silence, Changsun Wuji stood up slowly, and cupped his hands towards Li Shimin, who was at the top of the hall.

"In the Tang Dynasty, there is a person who has cured the stubborn illnesses of the empress and the princess, and is much better than the royal doctor in the palace..."

"...I just don't know, are you willing to make a move..."

After the words fell, the light in the eyes of the officials slowly dimmed.

Gao Shilian got up with his hands behind his back, with complicated expressions on his face, he walked into the hall with his hands behind his hands, sighed softly and didn't even look at Changsun Wuji.

"The person that Master Changsun mentioned is Li Xian, right?"

"It's just that I don't know where the person has gone right now, but if this person is present, maybe it can really solve one or two."

"At least in terms of mobilization arrangements, it will not be as hasty as it is now."

Li Xian?

Li Shimin's heart seemed to be stirred by something again, humming softly.

Once upon a time, if this person who could observe the sky and the earth was by his side at this moment, it might not be as difficult as it is now.

"That's right, dear friends, who can bring Li Xian back?"

There was a bit of anger on Li Shimin's face. Although he didn't say anything, he was still fighting for the injustice of these young people from the beginning to the end.

At the beginning, it was some of the courtiers present who were admonishing one by one, but now they are recalling this dismissed person?
Naturally, Li Shimin would not do such thankless matters.

"This……"

The officials took a deep breath, lowered their heads one after another, and remained silent.

snort!
Seeing the officials bowed their heads and remained silent, Li Shimin got up and flicked his sleeves angrily.

"The matter of the firearms battalion has not yet been settled, and now such incidents are happening in the borderlands. If you have no countermeasures in the imperial city, why not call them one by one to the border areas to see, and let you experience the suffering of the people."

In the voice, Li Shimin strode away.

I was just bored in my heart, but I didn't expect that after summoning these ministers, it would remind me of my regrets, which really made it difficult to sit still.

Out of the corner of my eye, I looked at the figure who had stepped out of the threshold, each of the courtiers looked at me and I looked at you, feeling a little dazed for a while.

"What His Majesty said...is it true?"

"Nonsense! I can't find anyone, maybe it's not alarmist."

"Don't be dazed, find someone quickly!"
