Zi Meng sighed, General Tai came again. Last time, Yu Yue rebelled against Zhang Shan and led the Hufang tribe to put down the rebellion. This time, the rebellion was probably put down. This is really good news.

"pass."

A moment later, Tai Luan walked into the palace quickly and said urgently: "Your Majesty, something happened! General Deng and General Zhang sent out troops to encircle and suppress Yue. As soon as they arrived in Yue, there was a serious epidemic in the army!"

"Pandemic?"

Zi Shou was stunned.

Civil and military officials also looked at each other in confusion.

Tai Luan continued: "A plague suddenly broke out in the land of Baiyue. The epidemic spread very quickly. Our army went deep into the area and happened to catch up with it. It was very serious. The soldiers were cold all over their bodies, but they shouted that the heat was unbearable. Some even vomited non-stop and were on the spot. Fainted and fell unconscious."

"The epidemic is spreading northward, and Sanshanguan is also infected, and all residents are..."

"How is it all?"

Seeing the urgency of King Zhou's questioning, Tai Luan gritted his teeth and said: "Every household said that the plague was caused by ghosts and gods. They said that Your Majesty raised troops to attack Baiyue and used force so violently that God punished him. Even the army..."

Zi Shou was silent.

Baiyue suffered from repeated wars and many people died, so it was easy for the plague to spread. Deng Jiugong led his troops deep into the country, and it was easy for them to become acclimatized. As a result, their resistance was weak and it was easy for them to contract the plague.

Moreover, the military personnel are densely populated. Once the infection is infected, it will spread immediately and the people will suffer.

From his perspective, this was normal, but for people at this time, it was wrong. The plague was a sin sent down by God.

There were generals in the army watching, so they would not mutiny, but the people who were infected knew that they had the plague and were about to die, so they had no scruples and went around blaming the blame.

Moreover, there have been constant fighting and rebellions in the south. It would be okay if the great merchants kept winning, but now that the plague has come, everyone has connected all this.

How come there was no plague before?

Why does it happen as soon as there is a war?

The plague must have been caused by the ruler's lack of virtue.

So many people complain, and may even curse before they die, which is a good sign for the stupidity value.

Moreover, treating the plague in this era is simply a dream. Medical conditions are not enough, and medicines are not enough. If you contract the plague, you will die, and your stupidity will be in vain.

But Zi Ming doesn't really like such mediocre values.

It's very difficult for him to watch the patients die from the disease after being treated. After all, he is just an ordinary person.

Zi Shou sighed and asked Grand Master Xiang Wen, "Does Grand Master have any cure for the plague?"

With a sigh, all the officials felt pain in their hearts.

Hearing that the Grand Master thought for a moment, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am at a loss what to do and can only ask the Master."

I heard that Taishi didn't know how to treat illnesses either.

If it were purely historical, the plague during this period would be a catastrophic disaster. Fortunately, Fengshen still had a solution.

The first is Shennong, the Emperor of Earth. In the novel, millions of people in Xiqi were plagued by plague, but Shennong was cured by a few pills.

The second is to intercept and teach Lu Yue. Lu Yue can spread plagues, and naturally he can also cure them.

Wen Zhong must have known it all, but he still said he was helpless, which meant that the matter was definitely not that simple, and there must be some difficulties in it.

Wen Zhong lived through three dynasties and had records of plagues and deaths. If there was really a way, Lu Yue and Shennong would have taken action long ago.

Zi Shou said slowly: "General Tai, please repay General Deng and do your best to alleviate the epidemic. I know some methods to prevent the spread of the epidemic, so I will bring it with me."

He did not want the people in Sanshanguan and southern Xinjiang to die due to the epidemic.

This is too uneconomical. The dead cannot scold the emperor, they must live.

But the only thing he could do was to follow the experience of later generations in preventing epidemics, boil water to drink, quarantine, burn bodies, etc.

Tai Luan had a stern look on his face and said with a sad look on his face: "Your Majesty, General Deng... is also sick."

Deng Jiugong...a few months ago, wasn't he still jumping up and down in Chaoge and teaming up with Li Jing to cheat him?

In the future, I will be the Generalissimo of Xiqi...

Tai Luan looked sad, took out the bamboo slips, and hesitated to speak: "This is a personal letter from General Deng..."

"Commander Deng charged forward and contracted the disease together with the soldiers. Before he finally left, Commander Deng was in critical condition and fell into a coma. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Commander Deng often talked about the corpse wrapped in horse leather. If he could survive in the land of Baiyue

He was loyal to his country, and even though he died without regrets, he still had a son and a daughter, so there was only one thing written in this bamboo slip."

Zi Shou was thoughtful, probably because he wanted wealth and honor for his children. If he agreed, this would be the bottom line for a foolish king.

Tai Luan continued: "Deng Zongbing said that his daughter is young and beautiful, has a strong character, is affectionate and righteous, and has good martial arts skills. I also heard that there are only one concubine, five concubines, and two princes in your majesty's palace. Deng Zongbing

I want to send my daughter to the palace to take away your worries..."

Zi Shou: "..."

Is this a gift for your daughter? You are infected with the plague and almost everyone is gone, but you still want this?

But when I think about it again, it’s all Jiang Wenhuan, Su Quanzhong, and Huang Feihu’s fault.

Being one's own in-laws is like getting a buff bonus. Su Quan Zhong leveled Tufang, Huang Feihu collected Guifang, Jiang Wenhuan drove Wugao, and Yu Wu led the army. They all made great contributions and were famous in history.

Who doesn’t want this?

Deng Jiugong also has a son, Deng Xiu, who happens to guard Sanshan Pass, the gateway to southern Xinjiang. If Deng Chanyu enters the palace and becomes a concubine, once the buff is turned on, will Deng Xiu also become awesome?

So Deng Jiugong didn't think about anything else. He was not a noble prince. His daughter became a concubine in the palace, and the Deng family became relatives. Even if he had no merit, he could live a peaceful life.

This one...

Zishou felt that he was not in good health, so he looked at the ministers, who nodded slightly.

Deng Jiugong guarded Sanshan Pass, protected southern Xinjiang, and took the lead in quelling the Yue rebellion. Compared to his achievements, allowing his daughter to enter the palace as a concubine was only a small matter.

Moreover, the ministers also felt that His Majesty had too few concubines and too few children.

A few years ago, Shang Rong proposed to elect beautiful women among the people in order to expand the harem and produce heirs. However, His Majesty did not do this and acted as palace maids. He also gave some to the courtiers while the wine ponds and meat forests were in use, and many good relationships were established.

Tai Luan was already crying: "General Deng also said that if His Majesty is willing to accept his daughter as his concubine, he will die in peace. This Baiyue plague will inevitably cause turmoil in southern Xinjiang. If he still has a breath, he will continue to protect southern Xinjiang."

If he dies, his son Deng Xiu will inherit the legacy and guard Sanshan Pass for His Majesty. No matter how chaotic Baiyue is, they will not be able to cross Sanshan Pass even half a step."

The ministers became more and more angry. How loyal and righteous was Deng Jiugong?

Even though the people all thought that His Majesty had been punished by heaven for his immorality, he still upheld his loyalty and stayed in the army to resist Baiyue...

Zishou fell silent and said, "It's okay to accept a concubine." He was more worried about the epidemic in southern Xinjiang.

Can't die.

Even for the sake of stupidity points, he had to try every means. These people had already concluded that the king's misconduct caused the plague, so they had to continue to live in order to have a steady stream of stupidity points.

What's more, they are all ordinary people.

Zishou said: "I ordered the medical officers to rush to Sanshanguan to treat the epidemic. I want Deng Jiugong to personally send my daughter to Chaoge and into the palace."

Go to court and return home.

Wen Zhong frowned. According to the current luck of the human race, there should not be such a serious plague, but why is this?

The plague broke out, the reputation of Dashang in southern Xinjiang weakened, soldiers died, the defense was weak, and the Baiyue tribes were in chaos...

Could it be that the people who helped Zhou acted against their karma?

Wen Zhong paced back and forth in the mansion with his hands behind his back. He had already reported this matter to his master, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, who was traveling with Yang Jian. At this time, he could only take one step at a time.

If no news came, he would have to go to Kowloon Island to see if Uncle Lu Yue could do anything. Even if there was no way, he would have to find out the source of the epidemic and find out who was behind it.
