"I didn't expect that Wu Taiyi was still an expert storyteller. He even bluffed the king into a stupor. The plot of the tide rising repeatedly is really moving Zhao Sanlang murmured in front of Tang Yue for a long time, and he was filled with emotion.

Tang Yue took his hand and asked, "in other words, your highness is OK? The king didn't believe those rumors? "

"This..." Zhao Sanlang sighed: "I don't know. The king didn't say it clearly, but I don't believe it."

Prince Zhao has not returned yet. Tang Yue has a heart hanging over him. Although he believes that Prince Zhao can handle such a situation, he is, after all, the king of a country. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Who knows which one of his cramps will drive him crazy?

Ah, the emperor's people probably have some kind of insanity, right? I don't know if Prince Zhao will do the same in the future.

This is not good. It seems that we should prepare some herbal medicine for calming the nerves in advance, so as not to be depressed into neurasthenia in the palace every day.

"Wu Qing, is the artemisinin you mentioned really so magical? Where did it come from? " The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was very attentive.

"Your Majesty, you can't imagine that this artemisinin is not extracted from the Artemisia annua we eat, but must be extracted from the Artemisia annua. Moreover, it can not be boiled. It must be soaked in salt water to squeeze out the juice for use."

"How simple is it to have such a magical effect?"

Wu Taiyi took out a porcelain vase from his pocket like a baby and offered it carefully. "King, you see, this is artemisinin. It was secretly hidden by the Minister for a time to commemorate it. However, the crown princess said that the artemisinin must be fresh before it can be used. The bottle of artemisinin may be overdue."

The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty smelt it curiously. It's hard to imagine that such a simple thing can cure the disease that everyone talks about.

"In this case, I went to find some villagers cured in Huanghua village to show me. I was really curious. Wu Taiyi was simple in mind and answered," the king can send someone to Huanghua village to summon them. I remember to pick out some patients who have recovered from serious illness. The minister actually made a written record and recorded their daily illness. It would be much easier to have such a disease in the future. "

"Oh? This is really good, and the prescription of artemisinin must remember clearly.

"That's natural. The crown prince and princess have told us that. In the future, we have to order people to plant more Artemisia annua so as to avoid the shortage of wild ones..."

"Wu Tai Yi, it is a heavy task for the people to grow grain. How can they have the time and energy to plant herbs?" Mr. Zhan caught a gap and immediately went in.

A group of officials immediately echoed: "yes, there are continuous wars at the border, and the army's rates and supplies are consumed enormously. The taxes of the people are already very heavy. If they are allowed to plant herbs again, I'm afraid that People's minds are changing.

"Hi, two adults, what are these words? This Artemisia annua is not difficult to plant. How many trees can be planted in each household? How much burden can it have? This is a life-saving treasure at the critical time. You might as well ask the people whether they are willing to spend their time and energy planting things that may save their lives! "

The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty nodded in secret, "just follow what Wu Qing said and pass on the edict. I don't have to force them to make clear their interests. Whether to plant or not is up to them."

With all that said, but the king's edict. Who dares not obey?

"King, it's too early to talk about it. You haven't confirmed that this medicine can really save lives." Zhan cautioned carefully.

Do you forget that today's court meeting is to question the misdeeds of his highness? How did the subject get pulled away by a doctor?

"Yes, let people go to preach, and find a few civilians who have suffered from the epidemic. I want to have a look at them."

This is most of the time, Prince Zhao went to the Queen's mother midway to invite ANN, had a meal, but also listened to a long period of nagging, only to hear the news from outside the palace.

Two forbidden soldiers were crawling on the hall, lowering their heads and reporting: "to the king, Huanghua village Huanghua village no longer exists! "

"Ah What How can it not exist Is it... " All eyes are locked on Prince Zhao, and even Duke Heng is surprised and speechless.

I thought it was just a false accusation, didn't it?

However, after a change of thinking, most of them still trust Prince Zhao more, only if someone deliberately planted it. After all, it is too easy to kill a villager in a small village.

"What does not exist? Anyone here? The house? The prince just returned from the disaster relief yesterday. Is it impossible for him to ascend to heaven today The king of Southern Jin asked.

"King Qi, there are traces of burning in Huanghua village. As soon as the houses were turned into ashes, I found some bodies in my humble position. But..."

"But what?"

"But they were headless corpses, and they were too burned to recognize anything."

"Headless corpse? Why is that? " The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was puzzled.

Lord Zhan immediately stood up and said, "king, what can you guess? It must be that the villain didn't want people to recognize the identity of the villagers, so he went down to the assassin's head. In this way, the identity of the dead could not be identified"Lord Zhan's words are not right. There are only a dozen corpses, but there are hundreds of villagers in Huanghua village. If it is burned out, where are the other people's bodies?" Gongguoheng refuted immediately.

"This is about to ask his royal highness. What if he killed people who were infected with the disease in batches? Before that, I'm afraid even the ash has been buried in the soil, so I can't find it. "

"Mr. Zhan, what's the purpose of you to put this nonsense on the prince's head?"

"Mr. Guo Gong, you must defend for Prince Zhao. What is your intention? Can you say that in your eyes, there is only the prince in the court? "

"Pa!" The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty stood up and angrily rebuked, "shut up! What's the proper way to make noise in the court hall? "

"Don't get angry..." All of them kneel down to plead guilty, but Prince Zhao still sits calmly in his position.

"Conger, what about the villagers of Huanghua village?" The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty held back his anger and questioned Prince Zhao.

He didn't believe this rumor very much. After listening to Wu Taiyi's story, he didn't believe it any more. He didn't expect this result.

And He had a suspicious look at him just now.

Even if Prince Zhao can do it again, these people don't need to stand there in such a hurry?

Prince Zhao stood up, calmly saluted, and said, "father, when the children and ministers left yesterday, the villagers were still in good condition. How could they burn all the residue overnight?"

"Yes, your highness, why?" Mr. Zhan asked.

"The children minister is willing to take people to explore, it is necessary to find out the truth!"

"Isn't the truth clear? Does your highness have any other words? " "In fact, it's not a big deal. It's the same with dealing with epidemic diseases since ancient times. Huangbao village is so close to Yecheng. If there is a source of disease spreading into Yecheng, it will be immeasurable loss. I think that your Highness's action is too decisive and correct."

Prince Zhao took a look at him and snorted, "Lord Zhan's mouth can really turn right and wrong into black and white. In the past years, when he was fighting abroad, he was not your opponent, but..."

All the people listened, but the prince Zhao said coolly: "however, Gu just remembered that he would put the villagers of Huanghua village in other places, so as not to become the ghost of the sword because of their loneliness."

"Your Highness, you say this..." The credibility is too low. Who can believe it?

"Is there any evidence?" The king of Southern Jin held his breath and asked.

"Naturally, go and tell the village head of Huanghua village. My father will know when he asks."

"the king has never seen the village man, is he flat or has the final say?"

Prince Zhao stood in front of the hall with his hands on his back. The corner of his mouth was slightly crooked. "When my father saw this man, he would believe it."

The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty showed a puzzled look, but he nodded and agreed, "Xuan this man enters the palace!"

Not long after this time, an old man in sackcloth came trembling with a crutch cut from a branch.

He squinted his eyes and looked up at the king on the Dragon chair. He knelt down and kowtowed three times. "King, do you remember the old slave?"

“……” People's minds are different. Some people think: this old guy takes himself seriously when he comes up?

Some people thought: if the prince really did such a thing, would he like to help others with words?

But the prince's highness, who is remembered by all, is much calmer. "Father Wang, this man is the head of Huanghua village, who also suffered from epidemic diseases. Why don't you listen to him?"

After staring at the old man for a long time, the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty had a vague memory, but it was not a big deal. He said, "who are you?"
