Dongwan palace, in the imperial library.

Dongwan emperor was pacing back and forth, thinking about the anger he had received in Nalan night recently. Finally, the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt. He shouted, "Wanchun!"

"Ouch, the old slave is here." Wan Chun was just pointing out that he had just recognized his son. Hearing the call of the emperor Dongwan, he immediately rushed over without touching the ground. "What can I do for you, your majesty?"

"Pass on my oral instructions and see the Minister of xuanbing department!" Although the Minister of the Ministry of war can't fight the people of Nalan night, his loyalty is beyond doubt. Ask him to discuss it together. Emperor Dongwan has a good calculation.

"The old slave obeys." Chief manager Wan Chun hurriedly ordered the little eunuch who spoke Qinghua quickly, and carefully ordered to send him to Shangshu house.

In the imperial study, Xiao Chengze, the emperor of Dongwan, was waiting for the Minister of war, his loyal minister. Unexpectedly, he could not wait and could not come. The emperor of Dongwan, who was already in an unhappy mood, was angry: "Wanchun! Where is the Minister of war?! I summoned him, how dare he not come quickly?"

It happened that the little eunuch sent by Wan Chun came back at this time. Without waiting for WAN chun to slap the useless thing, the little eunuch leaned over Wan Chun's ear and whispered for a while, and WAN Chun's face changed.

"Wan Chun?!" Emperor Dongwan patted the table, "what's going on one by one? Why can't you find anyone?!"

"Calm down, your majesty," Wan Chun bowed. "The little eunuch sent to deliver a message said that the Shangshu house is in chaos. The Shangshu adult of the Ministry of war seems to have some emergency. The little eunuch searched for a long time to find someone who can live and convey his Majesty's will. The people of the Shangshu house apologized that the Shangshu adult is now ill on his bed, so he really can't come to see his majesty and beg his majesty to make atonement!"

"The Minister of war is ill?" Emperor Dongwan raised his eyebrows with a sarcastic arc at the corners of his mouth, "at this time, Lord Shangshu's illness is a little coincidental..."

What emperor Dongwan said was meaningful, and WAN Chun leaned down and dared not talk. It is said that the emperor is suspicious. At the moment, his performance is incisive and vividly. Just now, his Majesty was eager to consult the Minister of the Ministry of war, looking like wholehearted trust; Now there are many doubts about the loyalty of the minister

"Since the Minister of war is ill, I have nothing to do. That's all!" Emperor Dongwan shook his sleeve and said, "it's time for me to go to court, Wanchun -"

"The maidservant is here." Wan Chun bowed his head respectfully.

"Serve me to wash and change." Although emperor Dongwan tried to stand straight, he could see that his body was bent.

"I will obey your orders." Wan Chun didn't dare to see more. He called a few small eunuchs in to serve the emperor Dongwan together.

The emperor of Dongwan in yellow robes seems to have recovered a trace of the elegance of previous years, and he went up in high spirits. As expected, the Minister of the Ministry of war reported that he was absent from sick leave.

On the morning of the next day, in addition to the Minister of the Ministry of war, Liu Shilang and Zuo Puyi Zheng Ziqing of the Ministry of military affairs all reported that they had not arrived on sick leave.

So far, Dongwan Emperor didn't think so. Although he has doubts, he won't doubt every minister. It's too tired, isn't it? It's just that things are getting out of control

On the third day, in the early morning, 30% of the ministers were absent.

On the fourth day as like as two peas did not come to court, half of them were sick.

On the fifth day, there were few ministers who could come to the court.

Dongwan emperor ended this morning with a black face. When he returned to the imperial study, his anger could no longer be concealed. Dongwan emperor kicked over the table in the guest seat in the East, and the tea bowl was broken into thousands of pieces. Wan Chun knelt down with his servants trembling.

"Everyone told me they were ill. It's such a coincidence that they were ill together!" Dongwan emperor still couldn't contain his anger. He was so angry that he trembled all over. His dumb roar was like a lion forced into trouble. "It's just a Nalan night! It scared them to such a degree! It's a false minister!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Although he knew that the emperor at this time was not easy to provoke, Wan Chun still felt that he had to risk his life to offer his views, "Your Majesty, maybe your adults are really ill, maybe it's the conspiracy of the king of Chu!"

"Oh? You mean I wronged them?" The angry Dongwan emperor really can't be easily provoked.

Wan Chun regretted that he had nothing to say. Why did he say this

Who knows, Dongwan emperor said: "speaking of whether this is Nalan night's conspiracy... Nalan night is a person who can do such a thing. He is very crafty. Just in case, in order to stop this guy's plan, I will send someone to investigate it!"

"The leader of the xuanban guard has an audience!" Emperor Dongwan changed his mind in an instant.

"I will obey your orders." Wan Chun can only do so.

The leader of the forbidden guards in the capital of Dongwan was a middle-aged man. He knelt down and saluted in good order: "I see your majesty, your majesty is blessed."

The emperor Dongwan was satisfied that he did not show too much curiosity or inappropriate prudence about being summoned by the emperor. This was a decent minister. He stretched out his hand and falsely helped: "Aiqing, don't be polite. Get up."

"Yes." The leader of the forbidden guard responded in an unassuming manner.

"I called you here because I have something to tell you." Emperor Dongwan touched his beard.

"Your Majesty, but it doesn't matter." The leader of the guards threw a fist.

"Ai Qing must have heard that there is almost no one available in my court today. I suspect this is the trick of Nalan night, king of Chu!" Emperor Dongwan looked at the leader of the forbidden guard proudly, "now I entrust this matter to you. You must find out the reason why all ministers are ill and the degree of their illness. I want the most detailed information!"

"I will comply." The voice of the leader of the guards was as calm as ever.

Dongwan emperor was more and more pleased with the leader of the forbidden guard. His eyes were almost kind and waved: "you step back."

The leader of the guards retired.

"You can't let go of people like Nalan night." Emperor Dongwan smiled with pity and a look of "I'm so wise".

Wan Chun kept silent wisely.

……

Two days later, the leader of the forbidden guard came to report: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered by your majesty to investigate the illness of your adults. I have achieved some results today. I am here to report to your majesty."

"Just say it." Emperor Dongwan put down the cup in his hand.

"According to the minister's investigation, all adults, including the Minister of the Ministry of war and the Minister of the Ministry of war, are true and not false, and the strange reason for this disease is not only the adults themselves, but also the relatives in your house."

"... is it true?" Dongwan Emperor didn't notice the key point for the first time, and was still thinking whether it was true or false that each minister was ill.

"Your Majesty, this disease is dangerous. I dare to suggest your majesty to raise this matter in the morning tomorrow. I hope you can discuss a countermeasure!"

"Hmm? Is it so serious?" After confirming that his majesty had not been provoked, the emperor was a little lazy. He thought about it again and sat up straight: "you mean, this emergency is infectious?!"

Seeing that the emperor finally understood the seriousness of the matter, the leader of the forbidden guards breathed a sigh of relief: "that's right. I carefully observed the condition of all the adults. They were itchy all over, and even scratched their skin. The whole person became a bleeding man. The state was really bleeding."

"And the relatives of all adults also have the symptoms of this disease after personally serving the patients, and the servants who serve them are also ill." The leader of the guards brought what he had seen and heard.

The emperor of Dongwan lowered his eyes. If the disease is really a severe infectious disease, many important officials of Dongwan are suffering from the disease, which will bring great damage to Dongwan.

Emperor Dongwan asked the key question: "can someone die of this disease?"

Bearing the hopeful eyes of the Dongwan emperor, the leader of the forbidden guards chose to tell the truth: "report back to your majesty, a maid in the Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of war died three days ago, and the symptoms of the disease appeared before her death."

"But!" The leader of the guards followed, "this maid has always been ill and bullied in the house. Her death is not necessarily due to this strange disease!"

However, the feeling of Dongwan emperor did not improve much. His momentum was frightening. After all, how can the king of a country relax when such a thing happens.

"Yes, your majesty, what the chief said is reasonable." Wan Chun echoed, "there's nothing wrong with the first person who fell ill. A maidservant's death must not be due to a strange disease. Your majesty doesn't have to worry too much about the dragon body."

Emperor Dongwan was not blindly optimistic because of their words. The emergence of epidemic disease and the death of people suffering from the disease will cause panic all over the world. At that time, Xiao Chengze's Dragon chair may not be easy to sit.

The two people in front of the hall are loyal. Emperor Dongwan knows this very well. If he orders not to spread this matter, they will be tight lipped... But as the king of a country, he bears the safety of the people of the whole country. How can he only care about his own reputation and ignore the worries about the lives of people all over the world!

"Tomorrow morning," emperor Dongwan made up his mind word by word, "discuss again!"

"My emperor is wise!" The leader of the forbidden guards kowtowed excitedly and admitted that he had followed a generation of Ming Jun. Wan Chun stood silent on one side, with a worried look on his face.

The next morning, Emperor Dongwan told less than half of the courtiers in the court about it, and the court was in an uproar.

"Really? It's a disaster!"

"The plague in the Zhuxi years turned a prosperous age into hell! How could emperor Xiao Wu be wise and decisive?! he was not obedient to the will of heaven!"

"Fortunately, after the cold winter came, the plague was contained, which controlled the situation and did not kill the DPRK. I don't know what the providence is..."

Emperor Dongwan was not used to this group of old die hards secretly biting their ears. He raised his voice on the Dragon chair and said, "Zhu Qing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt!"

An old minister with a lot of white hair and beard stood up. Maybe he felt that although he was not in a high position, he had some qualifications at least. He said for all the officials: "the old minister felt that this strange disease came strangely, like the plague in Zhuxi years."

Dongwan emperor was green. Although the disease was not sure whether it was a plague, he didn't say that the strange disease was a plague, but the group thought of it. Xiao Chengze rubbed a jade lion Paperweight at hand: "if it's a plague, what do you think?"

The old minister bowed and bowed: "if it's a plague, it's natural to make every effort to suppress the infection of the disease, distribute medicine soup and reduce taxes. For today's sake, the old minister feels that the first thing is to find out whether the disease is a plague and make other plans."

Isn't this nonsense? Emperor Dongwan said faintly: "just like my idea, I ordered you to go on and find out the truth of the strange disease and don't have more casualties."

"Your Majesty is holy," said the old minister, "but there is one more thing that I don't think I can say."

"What else?" Dong Wan emperor smiled, but secretly scolded what he thought before?! How can you keep such a goods that can't see the color to such an old age! Are you playing with people?!

The old minister didn't know the stomach Fei in the heart of emperor Dongwan. He boldly said, "since ancient times, whenever the plague is rampant, there must be war. I think the plague is a warning from heaven, maybe!"
