Chapter 478 Supervising the Country
The gate of the Eastern Palace, which had been closed for more than a month, slowly opened.
The palace gate, which had not been opened for a long time, made a screeching sound. The guards in front of the palace gate, Habayashi and the Qianniu Army, all looked at each other in blank dismay, and were even greatly surprised.
The general shouted orders, and the soldiers hurriedly lined up.
Their duty is to seal off the East Palace and prevent anyone from entering or leaving.
But when they saw the figures of the two prince teachers, Sun Wuji, the prince's grand teacher, and Qin Lang, the prince's Taibao, the two generals on duty dared not stab them again.
After seeing the figure of His Highness the Crown Prince appearing behind them, the two generals did not dare to dereliction of duty after all, and bit the bullet and stepped forward.
As he walked, he looked carefully, and found that His Highness the Crown Prince was in good spirits. He wore a purple gold crown, round neck robe, and bright jade belt. His face was ruddy, and there were slight red spots, but you couldn't tell unless you looked carefully.
The crown prince can't see any sores on his body.
The generals are a little relieved, His Highness seems to be in good shape.
"At the end of the day, I will meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and pay my respects to Duke Zhao and Duke Wei!"
Chengqian raised his arm, smiling, still looking like a gentle and virtuous prince, "The teacher said that there is nothing wrong with being lonely."
The general was a little embarrassed, "The last general is here according to His Majesty's will, and he has a duty to do so, so he dare not make a claim without authorization. Please allow me to report to His Majesty immediately!"
"good."
Standing outside the palace gate, Chengqian was already very comfortable, and he didn't mind staying for a while longer. The month-long blockade has made him very depressed. Fortunately, the teacher is back, otherwise he doesn't know how long he will continue to be blocked.
The golden armor general hurried to report to the emperor.
Chengqian took Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji to sit in front of the palace gate.
Less than half an hour after the general left, the brigade Qianniuwei and Habayashi Army escorted the emperor and arrived on horseback.
Horseshoes roar.
The emperor saw the prince from a distance, rolled his saddle off his horse, and strode over.
Several servants seemed to want to persuade them to curse, but the emperor didn't step on it.
"Chengqian!"
"Father!"
Father and son meet and stare affectionately.
Chengqian smiled and called his father, but burst into tears again, even Li Shimin couldn't help crying.
"Huailiang, is Chengqian really alright?"
"Your Majesty, the incubation period for Lupus is at most 17 days, and if you have already been infected with Lupus and after 17 days, then basically nothing will happen."
After being infected with Lupus, severe cases will die in three to five days, and mild cases will die within ten days. If they can survive seventeen days, the most important thing is to get pockmarked, and may even suffer some deafness. When you are disabled, there will usually be some acne marks if you lighten it.
And once you have had smallpox, you will never be infected with this smallpox again.
It is said that Emperor Kangxi of the Manchu Dynasty, when his father was rumored to be hurt by love, he left his home in Mount Wutai and left the throne and the empire alone. Manchu had no choice but to let his son succeed him. One of the most important reasons why Kangxi was selected was that he had suffered from smallpox among the princes, and his face was pockmarked due to smallpox.
Therefore, from the perspective of health, Kang Mazi is the least likely to die young, so he was finally elected, and he became the emperor who sat on the throne for the longest time in the whole dynasty. He was the emperor for 61 years. For Kang Mazi.
Immunity can be acquired after acne breakouts. In fact, in this era, we are not so sure, just like smallpox at this time, adults are not completely immune.
Because smallpox has been introduced to the Central Plains for hundreds of years, most adults have acquired herd immunity. However, in some non-Central Plains areas, such as some deep mountains or grasslands, their immunity to smallpox is much worse. , so once smallpox is introduced into these places, it still has a strong lethality.
Although some imperial physicians have noticed these and put forward corresponding statements, it is still hard to believe after all, but when Qin Lang said it himself, Li Shimin was willing to believe it.
He felt that these should have been learned by Qin Lang when he talked with Prince Yao, and it was the King of Medicine's point of view.
"Let Grandpa give you a hug."
Li Shimin stepped forward and hugged Chengqian.
The servants and generals on one side were all panicked.
In case what Qin Lang said is wrong, if adults can be infected, and the prince still has sores on his body, wouldn’t it be possible to infect the emperor?
Li Shimin looked at the red acne marks on Chengqian's face due to excitement, and reached out to touch it.
Chengqian's eyes were red.
Holding his father tightly with both hands.
At this moment, father and son are so close.
"Your eleventh and twelfth younger brothers both died young." Li Shimin sighed while hugging his eldest son.
"Is the ninth brother okay?" Chengqian asked.
"The imperial doctor said it's okay."
It is said that the Tian family is ruthless, but at this time Li Shimin and Chengqian are still showing their true feelings.
The emperor held the prince's hand and returned to the Tai Chi Palace together.
And ordered to lift the blockade of the East Palace.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin listened carefully to Qin Lang's explanation of Lushang and epidemic prevention, and he took it seriously, and appointed Qin Lang as the commander in charge of epidemic prevention on the spot.
"Your Majesty, I request that the crown prince be the prime minister and the minister assist you."
Over there, Changsun Wuji pointed out that not only epidemic prevention is necessary now, but the famine in Guanzhong is a serious problem. He suggested that the eastern capital Luoyang should be moved immediately.
"Okay." Li Shimin finally made up his mind.
At this time, Cheng Qiandao said, "Father, my ministers request to stay in the capital. The ninth younger brother cannot leave Beijing because of the current situation and needs to be taken care of. My son is willing to stay in Beijing to direct the fight against the epidemic and take care of the ninth younger brother."
Qin Lang also pointed out, "It is really not suitable for children in Beijing to go to Luoyang, unless they have had acne like the prince, otherwise it will aggravate the spread of the epidemic and increase the risk of infection for children."
"Children under the age of ten should stay as much as possible."
Li Shimin was pondering.
Beijing and China are now being killed by both hunger and epidemics, which makes the situation difficult, and rumors are spreading everywhere, which makes people panic.
As for the rumors, he can still find a way to control them, but there is no food, and people are always hungry and accidents will happen.
It is urgent to move to the eastern capital to eat.
Cheng Qianneng took the initiative to stand up and shoulder the burden at this time, which moved Li Shimin very much. The eldest son has grown up and matured, and he is more responsible after experiencing these sores.
Today.
The emperor held an emergency court meeting in the inner court.
Except for ministers and ministers, almost all the chief officials and subordinate officials of the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five supervisors, one twelve guards and six armies were summoned to discuss matters.
"I have decided to promote Luozhou to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the accompanying capital of the Tang Dynasty. In view of the current hunger situation, I will lead the Chinese, Chinese, military officials, soldiers and civilians to move to the eastern capital for food."
"The crown prince inherits Qian and stays in Chang'an, the capital, to supervise the country!"
"The conferment of those below the sixth grade will be removed, and the crime of apprenticeship has been convicted, and the crown prince will be punished!"
As soon as the court discussion began, the emperor directly announced that he would move to Luoyang and let the crown prince stay in the capital to supervise the country.
"Prince Taibao, Prince Zhanshi, Imperial Academy scholar Chengzhi, Shenzhizhengshi, Jingzhao Shaoyin, Prince Zuowei led Qin Lang, added the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and went to Beijing Zhaoyin to assist the crown prince in supervising the country."
The appointment of the emperor followed one after another.
Rather than calling important officials to discuss state affairs and military affairs, it is better to say that the emperor had already made a decision in his heart, and he just asked the ministers to come to obey his will.
The crown prince supervises the country, and Qin Lang, the prince's mentor, will be reused again.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor announced that Li Jing, who had made great contributions to the Northern Expedition, had been impeached by Yushitai, and had been investigated and proved innocent.
Therefore, the emperor specially pursued the merits, worshiped Li Jing Shangshu Youpushe, gave 2,000 pieces of silk, and gave a total of 600 households before the seal of Tongshi, added special titles, and granted the crown prince Youwei rate.
Hou Junji was awarded the Minister of the Ministry of War, and participated in the government affairs, and paid homage to the prime minister.
Changsun Wuji exempted Jing Zhaoyin from Jingzhaoyin, inspected the school secretary order, Wang Gui inspected the school servant, Wei Zheng served as secretary supervisor and Shangshu Youcheng, Dai Zhou served as minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Shangshu Zuocheng, all participated in the government affairs.
Xiao Yu, the doctor of imperial history, joined the government in Jia Tejin.
After the death of the two prime ministers Du Ruhui and Du Yan, the emperor quickly adjusted the team of prime ministers.
Shangshu's left servant shoots Fang Xuanling, right servant shoots Li Jing, Zhongshu orders Wen Yanbo, attendant Yang Shidao, checks Zhongshu Ling Changsun Wuji, checks Zhongshu orders Wang Gui.
In addition, Qin Lang, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Ministry of Civil Affairs, Qin Lang, Minister of Civil Affairs, Wei Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dai Zhou.
Participated in the government affairs, Xiao Yu, the imperial historian, participated in the government affairs, the Minister of the Ministry of War Hou Junji, participated in the government affairs, Sun Fujiao, the Minister of Dali Temple. Participated in government affairs, Minister of Rites Chen Shuda.
Thirteen prime ministers.
For example, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda both served as prime ministers in the Wu De Dynasty, and Xiao Yu has already worshiped three times.
Qin Lang is also an old man in the prime minister's team of Zhengshitang.
The first time to visit the prime minister was Hou Junji and Li Jing.
The four prime ministers, Qin Lang, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, and Wang Gui, were appointed by the emperor to assist the prince to stay in the capital.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor entrusted the emperor's brothers and princes as kings.
His younger brother Li Yuanyu was named King Qi, Li Yuan was named King Qiao, Li Lingkui was named King Lu, Li Yuanxiang was named King Xu, and Li Yuanxiao was named King Mi.
The sixth son of the emperor, Li Yin, was named King Liang, the seventh son, Li Zhen, was named King of Han, the eighth son, Li Yun, was named King Tan, the ninth son, Li Zhi, was named King Jin, and the tenth son, Li Shen, was named King Shen!
Qin Qiong was named Situ in Jin Dynasty, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shifeng Jiannan Road Songzhou Governor.
A series of personnel orders.
Dazzling.
However, the ministers in the palace did not have any objections. Even Wei Zheng, who always liked to criticize the emperor, was very quiet this time.
Everyone knows that the situation in Chang'an is on fire right now, and there is no delay.
The victory of destroying the Turks cannot dilute the current plight of Chang'an.
"The construction of Daming Palace will be suspended from now on!"
Although the construction of Daming Palace is going well, the emperor is going to flee to Luoyang to eat in the current hunger situation. How can Chang'an gather so many civilian craftsmen to repair the palace, and the food supply is not enough. In fact, work has been suspended one after another before. up.
It's just that there is no such general order yet.
The more than 37,000 forbidden troops in Chang'an, and the 36,000 Nanya Fan Shangfu soldiers, plus the 3,000 Donggong Luben, except for the prince Luben army, most of the rest had to go to Luoyang with the emperor for food.
For the six armies of the Northern Yamen, only one thousand Jinwu Guards were left on the left and right, and for the twelve guards of the Southern Yamen, only one thousand Xiaowei Guards were left on the left and right.
Anyone who can walk should go. Children under the age of ten who have not had acne should stay in Beijing as much as possible.
Not only Chang'an City, but also the entire pass, everyone can go.
The court will try its best to find ways to set up some porridge stations along the official roads to help people escape to Shannan, Jiangnan, Huainan and other places.
Everyone's face is heavy.
Everyone knows what such a flight from famine means.
This will mean that countless hungry people will starve to death on the way, especially during the current Lupus epidemic, this kind of fleeing from famine will inevitably aggravate the spread of the epidemic.
There is no other way.
You can’t block everyone in the city, you can’t block the roads in counties and counties, and let everyone starve to death, right?
Compared with the threat of disease, the threat of hunger is more serious.
