Chapter 277 Smallpox (5)
The Chang'an City in the seventh year of Zhenguan was spent in panic, especially Yong'anfang, which was even more panic-human.
Anyone can see that something happened in the Yang family in Yong'anfang seems to be that something is impossible. If the house is confiscated, it will not be surrounded by soldiers for so long. The circumference will last for nearly half a month. It will definitely not be a house confiscated. As a person in Chang'an City, the house confiscated will end in one day, and the longest will not exceed two days. Then the Yang family will not have confiscated the house. And if there is any disease, it is probably a plague-like disease. Otherwise, so many soldiers would not have arranged to surround the place.
If the people have doubts, they will naturally ask acquaintances to ask. You should know that these soldiers from the Yang family in the martial law have not received any confidential training. Naturally, people will ask what the reason is, smallpox, a disease that is more serious than the plague.
Fortunately, although people were in panic, there was no such thing as people fleeing Chang'an City, and even if they were not fleeing Yong'an Square, this was because the neighbors next to the Yang family were not others, they were all Yang Heng's uncles. They are now spending the New Year at Yang Heng's home and have not returned home. There are only a small number of servants left in the home. Although the servants are also very scared, they will run wherever they go, especially when they heard that Yang Heng entered inside, they felt relieved.
The father's house and Yang Heng's house held two New Year's Eve party in this atmosphere. The two evening parties of the Yang family calmed down the people in Chang'an City. Since they were so happy, the matter might not be so serious this time. Slowly, people's moods calmed down. Since the court had no words, Li Er even appeared on the street, setting a precedent for the emperor to greet the people for the first time.
"Your Majesty, I think the Yang family should not stay in the city anymore. It is best to move out of the city now. You must know that the people in the city are already in panic, and I am afraid..." If you want to be stupid, it is really Changsun Wuji, even Li Er is also suspicious now. Is this the brother-in-law who helped me take office at the time? Why can't I keep calm in front of Yang Heng?
"Okay, go, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, go home and prepare early." Li Er was already angry, so he waved his hand and drove away Changsun Wuji, his elder brother-in-law.
When they moved out of the city, they would let a group of suspected patients move out. Is this going to let them go, or to infect more people along the way. Li Er directly rejected the proposal. Besides, the Yang family moved out of the city, causing many people to be infected. But these people would not hate the Yang family, but hate me. You must know that this is my order, otherwise how could the Yang family leave the city at this time? But this person's panic also needs to be solved, but how can it be solved?
"Ah, there is, I wish you a New Year. Since you can wish you a New Year to the ministers, you can also wish you a New Year to the people. In this way, as soon as I appear in front of the public, the people's hearts will stabilize. Look, I haven't left here, what are you afraid of?" Li Er thought about it and felt that this method was good. As long as he stood at the eldest sister in Chang'an City, the people would be at ease.
"Come on, pass it on. On the morning of the first day of the New Year, I will greet the people in the city. The location is set on Zhuque Street. Also, you should pay attention to safety matters." At the end, Li Er still issued an order behind him. Of course, he could not say no to notify the people. But if he notify them, it may attract some enemies, so he must do a good job of protection.
"No, Your Majesty, I must be ready to not let a fly fly in." "Go, go, what are you kidding, fly, will there be flies at this time? Even if there are, they are fleas. As long as you have good protection, it will be done."
It is rare that after the order was issued, the ministers did not express their opposition. They also knew that people were panic-in, but they had no way to solve it. Now they were actually giving His Majesty the first, and they didn't even care about the idea of opposition. Who made them think of a good way to comfort the people?
"It's open, it's open, and the palace gate is open." On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, Zhuque Street was filled with people from the whole city. They were even excited to make the New Year not have been good, and they were all talking about whether Li Er would really come out or whether it was fake. So, on the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, everyone went out early, and didn't even take care of New Year's greetings, so they came out and came to Zhuque Street to see Li Er's heroic posture.
You know, this era is not something that can be seen on TV, and even the people living by the palace gates cannot meet the Emperor Li Er, let alone the people in the city.
The palace gate opened. Li Er smiled and walked out slowly, "Hello, the people of the Tang Dynasty, I, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, I wish you a happy new year here, happy new year." As he said that, Li Er raised his hands above his head and bowed deeply to everyone.
"Happy New Year, Your Majesty, Happy New Year, Saint..." The people also bowed to Li Er in a long and said, and then bowed deeply. Of course, some people knelt down excitedly, and even burst into tears. Finally, they saw the emperor. This is a good emperor. As a result, Li Er made a decision and actually accepted a good person card from all over the city.
"Old man, I'm dying this year. How many people are there in my family? What's the harvest? Is it enough to eat?" What are you doing? Why did you learn from Yang Heng's leaders in his previous life and start a show in front of the people.
In fact, Li Er didn't expect that he would do this. But when his mind got hot, he pulled an old man close to him to greet him.
"Return to Your Majesty, the old farmer is in his fifties now. I'll thank His Majesty for his blessing. The harvest at home is very good and enough to eat new food for next year." The old man answered Li Er's question tremblingly, then his legs weakened and he knelt down. He even made a decision at that time. Li Er pulled his hand. After returning home, he would have to not wash his hands for at least three years. He also had to find a piece of linen to wrap the hand. You know, this was the first person in the Tang Dynasty. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally took the hand. What Li Er didn't expect was that just such an action actually caused so much trouble to the old farmer.
One by one, Li Er held the hands of some people nearby and chatted for a few words, and then.
"People of the Tang Dynasty, go back. This is the New Year. There are still many things to do. Don't delay your business. I'm back to the palace." As he said that, he bowed to the people again.
"We are not busy, Your Majesty is busy, Your Majesty walks slowly," everyone said something again, and Li Er also returned to the palace in this messy voice.
"Your Majesty, why do you hold hands and greet the people without saying hello? What should I do if there are people who are not good for you?" "Haha, it's okay, it's a problem for you. My people are all good. Haven't you seen it? They are so excited. I decided to wish the people in the city a happy new year every year today." Li Er was also very excited. He didn't expect that the effect was really good. He obviously felt that these people were in a much better mood after seeing him. Maybe tomorrow, no, they wouldn't feel that today.
When Yang Heng heard about this inside, he was also shocked. Li Er actually knew this trick. It seems that he really can't underestimate the ancients. They played with people's hearts, which was enough for Yang Heng to learn for two lifetimes.
