Chapter 277 (1/2)
The whole Dafu Hall fell to the ground with Yang Wu's voice, as if the originally silent air was suddenly frozen by the gradually cold air outside. Everyone was like a statue and was stunned there.
Li Zhi's cup fell to the carpet under his feet and rolled away slowly.
Smallpox, an incurable disease in this era, can not find an effective cure. In addition, it makes people feel goose bumps and scalp numbness.
In this era, smallpox appears in patients, which often indicates natural and man-made disasters, or what the patient has done to harm the nature. Even if it is spread widely, the public opinion will often blame the disease on the court or the emperor.
Smallpox, like a raging animal, is a disaster that can't be ignored for the people to panic and the court into turmoil.
If we can't deal with it properly, if it infects more people, and if we are guided by people who have different ideas, it is very likely that there will be riots among the people.
Often, at this time, the court will fall into turmoil. As no effective cure measures can be implemented, the emperor will pray to heaven, or even issue an edict to punish himself to stabilize the people's hearts. It is possible for the court to be forced to abdicate.
Although it is difficult for the Zen throne or the turmoil in the court hall to happen in this peaceful and prosperous period, it is inevitable that there will be local riots or criticism of the royal family.
Li Hong's scalp also felt numb. I'm afraid there is no deeper understanding of smallpox among the people here.
There are basically seven or eight generations of people with smallpox in their nine to ten lives. All of them have ever encountered the incurable disease of smallpox among the common people.
Li Hong can even feel that after Wu Mei pinches her leg, she has no time to take back her hand. At the moment, she is shaking uncontrollably.
Lantian County is too close to Chang'an, which seems to make people feel that smallpox will rush into Chang'an City tomorrow.
If someone in Chang'an city is infected, then the next situation will be more difficult to deal with.
”Call on them to come in and speak.” Li Zhi's voice was a little trembling, and he could not help but look at Wu Mei, who was strong and calm.
After seeing that Lizhi was going to discuss political affairs with his courtiers, they were about to get up and prepare to leave. They did not want to move and before they had time to speak, they heard Wu Mei's voice: ”it's OK, all of you are royal relatives. Now people are suffering from smallpox. This is our royal responsibility. You may as well listen to it first, in case you can think of any magic formula, or who is familiar with other people in the world. ”
Wu Mei's light words, so that the present people, are unable to say good-bye, but also dare not say what kind of words.
First of all, even if the royal family is bullied by the royal family, even if there is a sword behind the royal family, it will not be a bad result.
Li Zhi nodded approvingly. The undercurrent surging above the hall and the overt and covert struggles between the royal family members, whether light or heavy, never stopped.
Although it is said that his throne is stable now, it does not mean that these people will not jump out and prepare to usurp the throne in the event of a major event that is not conducive to his rule.
Outside the sound of footsteps in a hurry, Yang Wu led Peiyan, Zhang Wenzhen, Zong Chuke and Jing Hui to appear in the hall.
The original case of the Central Committee was removed several days ago and replaced by four people standing there to salute the public.
Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei again, calmed down his mind by waiting just now, and asked in a deep voice, ”what's the details of the matter now?”
This is the responsibility of the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, the Chuke. Therefore, he came to explain it to his majesty. After saluting, he said, ”Your Majesty, there are about 70 people in Lantian County who are either light or heavy infected, and 17 people have been killed or injured, most of them are old people and young children. Now I have mobilized a group of doctors in Chang'an City, but
”But it doesn't matter.” Li zhishou is shaking. In fact, Zong Chuke doesn't need to say that he knows that this is a terminal disease. I'm afraid that not many people in Chang'an City would like to go to Lantian County to cure smallpox.
”But now the effect is very little. I have tried my best to control the spread of the epidemic in Lantian, but I still can't stop the spread of rumors. This matter has been known by the doctors in Chang'an City, but not many people are willing to go there. Even if I spend a lot of money, I still can't recruit too many people.” Zong Chuke frowned. He was promoted from the county magistrate of Lantian County.
