    In Prince Chun's Mansion, Prince Chun was discussing with several staff how to handle this matter.  To protect or not to protect Yuan Fan.  As King Chun's staff, they are also people who need his protection. Naturally, they hope that King Chun can protect him, at least to save his life.  Because of this, repaying the sin will not lead to death.

    King Chun was a little upset. To be honest, he was also very angry.  The filial piety received from Yuan Fan every year is only ten thousand taels of silver.  This time he went so far.  Thinking of this, King Chun suddenly thought that he should ask someone.  This person has always thought differently from others.  Don't expect her to come up with any good ideas, but at least listen to her analysis.

    "Princess, Prince Chun said that he wants to see you." Wen Wan was in the mansion and felt a little weird when she heard that Prince Chun was coming.  I don't have much business dealings with him at this meeting. What should I do if I have nothing to do with him?

    Wen Wan and others knew the purpose of King Chun's visit and looked at King Chun with wide eyes.  I thought I heard it wrong, and after confirming it, I stroked for a long time.  I mean, you have found the wrong person!  She didn't understand this and asked her what to do.  How does she know about this official matter?

    King Chun smiled and said, "Wen Wan, my uncle is really asking for your help. Don't worry so much. Just say what you are thinking."

    Wen Wan asked very strangely, "The princess asked the prince, did the corrupt man share your money?"

    King Chun shook his head and said definitely no.  Just kidding, at this point, even if the money is divided, he will say no.  Of course, in fact, he did not get that money.  Every year, we only collect 10,000 liang filial piety gifts, as well as some rare items and souvenirs.  Because of this, he didn't want to extend his hand. If it weren't for that bastard, would he have offered two hundred thousand taels of silver?

    Nowadays, officials from both the government and the public have given out so much money.  There was a suffocation in my heart.  But no one had the guts to express this anger towards Wen Wan.  Because Wenwan was working for the court and the victims, no one dared to touch the porcelain doll in the face of justice.  If they touch the porcelain doll, it¡¯s not the emperor¡¯s precious porcelain doll that will be broken, it will be them.  So now the government and opposition officials are all staring at Henan. If those moths are not dug out this time, all the money they donated will be given to those corrupt officials, and no one will be willing to accept it.  That is King Chun.  My heart is also on fire.  That's why he hesitated.

    Wen Wan asked several more questions.  King Chun replied angrily.  Finally Wen Wan asked, who will be responsible for the people who died in front of them.  If he doesn't deserve to die, should those innocent people die? "Your Majesty. The princess said, if you are really not involved, Your Majesty, then don't interfere. Once you intervene, others will definitely think that you have also benefited. When the time comes, this reputation will  But it's really stinking. You're not afraid, and besides, he's just another relative of yours. If he did something so wicked, he would deserve to die.  Go to hell. What's wrong with you?"

    King Chun heard Wen Wan¡¯s childish words.  Laughed.  After talking for a while, we went out.

    Wen Wan looked at his back and thought to herself, if you don't want to interfere, just say so.  Why must this matter be blamed on her?  In order to sell well for my uncle, and to set an example for my grandpa.  But don¡¯t ask yourself to go out again and say you don¡¯t care.  She doesn't want to ruin her good reputation.  Reputation is something that restrains a person, and is not a good thing.  Wen Wan thought, feeling extremely depressed. She was really unlucky, and she had to bear this burden.  cough.  In order to reduce some of the burden on her uncle, she should carry it.  Wait until she can no longer carry her back, then lie down!

    Following the statement of King Chun¡¯s faction.  Must be punished severely, this matter has undergone dramatic changes.  The emperor issued a decree.  Escort all three people back to the capital.  All affairs of the upper class in Henan were temporarily handed over to King Zheng.  Even the appointment and dismissal of governors, governors and chief historians were handed over to King Zheng.  He can be asked to select suitable talents from Henan to replace him.  This was equivalent to handing all the rights in Henan into the hands of King Zheng.

    This imperial edict has made countless people faint with anger.  I don¡¯t know how many people are jealous.  How many people are regretting why they didn¡¯t have a good relationship with Prince Zheng that day!  Many people followed Qi Yan's path, so scared that Qi Yan hid in the palace and refused to come out.  Take the gentle road and you can¡¯t get in with the door closed.

    When Concubine Xian got the news, she smiled, not at all angry or even frowning.

    As soon as Yu Feilin arrived in the capital, he heard that his eldest brother had been assassinated.  He knew that something was wrong with his elder brother.  I quickly went to the business store and saw Yu Feiyang lying on the bed. I heard that his life was not in danger, but he just had to lie down and rest for a while before he could recover.  This was the precaution he took after getting the news in advance.  Otherwise, I don¡¯t know what it will be like!

    Yu Feilin looked at his bloodless eldest brother and felt very sad, "Brother, it's all out of the question now. You're taking such a big gamble. Look at you now. If you have discussed it with us, it won't be too late to act again. This time, it won't be too late."  It¡¯s really dangerous.¡±

    Yu Feiyang lay on the bed and smiled with difficulty, "If I wait to discuss it with you,Measure and wait until a result comes out of the discussion.  The day lilies are cold.  From this incident, I became more determined in my decision.  King Zhao is too narrow-minded. Now that there is a strong competitor like King Zheng, it is difficult for him to become the crown prince.  "

    Yu Feilin asked strangely, "Why?"

    Yu Feiyang shook his head and said, "It's very simple. Everyone knows it. This time I was in trouble and was tricked by your princess. I had no choice but to fill the hole myself. This is the emperor's imperial edict, and our Yu family has to obey it."  . If we disobey the imperial edict, our Yu family will be executed. Under such forced circumstances, our Yu family will naturally make every effort to raise food. But because I did not obey his orders, our Yu family did not deliver food on time.  After passing through the disaster area, he had murderous intentions against me. Anyone who has taken refuge in King Zhao will know how much our Yu family has done for him over the years.  Just because I didn't follow his orders for a moment, and there was no evidence or incident to prove that I had betrayed him, he would send a killer to kill me. Such a person, with such a heart, how could the people who work for him below do so?  He won't be disappointed. In this way, his chances of winning are even better."

    After Yu Feiyang finished speaking, he even sneered.  Maybe, in the eyes of King Zhao, a noble man like Huang Tian, ??he didn't take them seriously at all.  Kill it, kill it, it's just a matter of moving his finger.  Unfortunately, he didn't want to be another dog he rode that would be trampled to death at will.

    Yu Fei Lin was silent.  There have been such examples before.  But in the eyes of nobles like King Zhao, merchants like them can only be exploited and looked down upon.  King Zhao is like this, but King Zheng doesn't have much respect for him. Even if he doesn't have the arrogant attitude of King Zhao, he doesn't think much of them.  I'm still a little confused about Yu Feiyang's decision. "Brother, even if you defect to Prince Zheng, Prince Zheng will still look down on us merchants. In essence, there is no difference."

    Yu Feiyang shook his head and smiled, "No, there is an essential difference. In the future, you will understand." Maybe King Zheng will not value merchants like them.  But we will not belittle merchants.  These can be seen from King Zheng's attitude towards your princess.  Furthermore, Princess Gui will be the most powerful person for King Zheng in the future, but she will not look down on merchants. She even has an extraordinary love for business.  If you make good use of it.  Their Yu family will definitely reach a higher level.

    King Zheng was not very happy when he received the emperor's imperial edict in Henan.  It is said that he is given the power of appointment and dismissal.  Who knows if the old man is testing him.  However, he wasn't too reserved.  All the officials who were considered good during the inspection were promoted.  Then some adjustments were made to Henan's officialdom.  There is nothing to worry about, as long as you have talent, your performance has been very good over the years.  Public reviews are also very good, and most of them have been promoted.  this way.  The old man would have nothing to say.

    It is now clear and bright all over Henan.

    As expected, the food from the imperial court was delivered on time, and everyone felt at ease.  When the food arrives, it can be sown and planted in the summer after it has been processed, and their errand will be completed.  King Zheng felt that this errand was completed much more smoothly than he thought.  The two were discussing the next step, resuming production and farming again.

    "Your Majesty, it's not good. There is an epidemic among the victims." Luo Yuan, the personal guard next to King Zheng, rushed in worriedly.

    King Zheng¡¯s expression changed. Unexpectedly, he had already obeyed the gentle instructions and took precautions against the plague.  And this news.  But the expressions of everyone else present changed drastically.  In ancient times, plagues were as terrible as saps.  Everyone's heart beat.

    "Quick, go out and have a look." When we arrived at a temporary shed, the doctor confirmed that this was indeed a plague.  Everyone suddenly became heavy.

    "Isolate people quickly, and isolate all suspected cases." Although King Zheng was anxious, he still commanded in an orderly manner.  Seal the whole area and isolate all those who are sick and those who have been in contact with them.  Those who are not sick are also placed in separate places.

    King Zheng originally wanted to suppress the news of the plague.  But somehow, the news spread all overnight.  There was panic among the people.  Wanting to flee in all directions, King Zheng immediately asked the army to guard various key points.

    "Your Majesty, the infantry battalion's defense does not accept deployment, saying that you have no right to mobilize troops. Unless there is an imperial decree, troops will never be sent." Luo Yuan came over anxiously to report.

    King Zheng¡¯s eyes darkened, ¡°Whose guard is that? Is it King Zhao¡¯s?¡±

    Luo Yuan nodded and said yes.

    King Zheng¡¯s eyes flashed with a wolf-like ferocity, and he closed his eyes to calm down.  He strode towards the military camp.  When I arrived at the military camp, I met the officer who refused to accept the transfer order. "This is the seal of the imperial envoy. This is the imperial decree. You decide to send troops based on what you want to see."

    That defenseHe was not afraid and said sternly, "Your Majesty, it's not that the general will not obey orders. But if you want to use the army, you must have the emperor's hand. Otherwise, it is tantamount to treason. Unless there is an imperial edict, otherwise you can't even think about it."  Unauthorized use of the army."

    When King Zheng heard this, he laughed angrily, "Then why do I have to mobilize the army today?"

    The guard crouched his neck and said, "Unless the prince steps over the body of a lowly official."

    The officers and soldiers in the military camp all looked at King Zheng.  It is true to say that mobilizing the army is firstly an order from the summit, and secondly, it is an imperial edict or hand gesture from the emperor.  If not, anyone who dares to mobilize the army is tantamount to rebellion.  But it's different now. If the army doesn't guard every intersection now and let the people disperse, it will cause even greater disasters.

    ¡°If King Zheng retreats now, then there will be no way to end this matter.  If they don't regress, their commander must be dealt with.  The soldiers here are also easy to make choices. Whoever is more courageous will listen to whoever is brave.  If something goes wrong, someone more courageous above will take care of it.

    As soon as the guard finished speaking, a silver light flashed in front of the sergeant's eyes. Looking again, the guard fell straight down and fell to the ground.

    King Zheng looked at the blood on the sword, and it was dripping on the ground.  He raised his sword and sneered, "Who else dares to disobey this king's order? This king is an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. Things are urgent now. If anything happens, the emperor will blame him, and I will bear the responsibility. You are ordered to do so."  Just do it. Otherwise, there are people like this.¡±

    The people below are not as courageous as this guard.  They all obeyed the instructions honestly.  Guard all intersections.  No one is allowed to leave the city gate.  Otherwise, if the infection spreads, the consequences will be endless.

    But they didn¡¯t know that the plague was getting worse and worse.

    On the first day, there were only three cases, on the second day, there were more than twenty, and on the third day, it had risen to hundreds.  The situation is getting worse and worse, and everyone is panicking.  All the officials in the city were gathered together by King Zheng.  Let them find a solution.

    King Zheng frowned, he really didn¡¯t expect it.  This epidemic is so serious and spreads so quickly.  In just three days, hundreds of people have been infected.  If it is not stopped, something big is likely to happen.

    "Doctor Zhang, how are you? Have you found out the cause? Is there any way to stop it?" King Zheng asked anxiously.  If this cannot be stopped, we will have to work hard.

    "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I can do nothing." The most famous doctor here shook his head and said he was helpless.  All the doctors were at a loss.

    ??The epidemic is getting more and more serious, and there is no effective way. Starting from the fourth day, people who have the epidemic begin to die.  The people wanted to escape, but they were all blocked, like trapped animals, as if they had to sit there and wait to die. The emotions of the trapped people became more and more intense.  And a piece of news that the government could not cure the epidemic quickly spread.

    And on this day, a news spread in the city.  It said that the three towns where plague occurred in the past were also surrounded by the army, so that those who were not infected with the epidemic could not go out, so that those who were trapped in the city and were not infected with the epidemic were all infected with the plague. In the end  , all the people inside died, and the whole city was in ruins.  The emotions of the people who were trapped and waiting to die exploded at this moment (to be continued)
