Ling Changshi risked his life to persuade him: "Your Highness, what we have to do now is to completely control the epidemic before the imperial envoy comes. If the imperial envoy is infected with the epidemic, I am afraid that he will not come to Jiangnan next time. He will be just a minister!"

It is true that there are [-] navy troops in the south of the Yangtze River, but the tiger talisman is still in the hands of the emperor.

If the emperor sends troops to control the epidemic, His Highness the King of Chu will not be irrational and will never touch the navy easily!
As soon as Ling Changshi opened his mouth, other staff members quickly admonished him. The meaning behind his words was very clear, telling King Chu not to do anything at this critical moment, otherwise he would really risk his own death!
The navy could not deal with the emperor's army, but it could deal with ordinary people. With a livid face, the King of Chu sent a secret message to the navy captain, asking them to quickly assemble the navy and come to Jiangzhou to stabilize the situation.

After King Chu's order was issued, Ling Changshi and others breathed a sigh of relief.

With the military's deterrence, the dilemma in Jiangzhou was quickly resolved.

The King of Chu's method was the same as that of his staff. He drove all the people infected with the disease to a mountain villa, but he had no intention of treating them and just had them all slaughtered.

Then people who had been in contact with the epidemic rushed to another place and sealed it off. Several people guarded each room. As long as someone in a room got sick, everyone in the whole room would be unlucky.

For a time, everyone in the Jiangnan area was in danger. Ling Changshi and others were ordered to go to Huizhou, Yangzhou and other places to take charge of the work. Before the imperial envoy arrived, the Jiangnan area was finally stabilized, and agricultural production gradually resumed.

Ling Changshi and others were busy rearranging household registrations and appeasing the people's hearts, and had no time to pay attention to the news in Mobei.

In mid-July, the imperial envoy finally came to Jiangzhou with food and money for disaster relief. The King of Chu originally wanted to take over the disaster relief directly, but he didn't expect that the imperial envoy was a stubborn man. No matter how the King of Chu hinted, he would not let go. .

After the King of Chu returned to his mansion, he kicked over another tea set and spilled tea on the floor. The servants were not surprised and quickly cleaned up the meeting hall and replaced it with a brand new tea set.

"I am going to chop off Qi Chengjun's head now!"

That's right, the person sent by the emperor for this disaster relief was Qi Chengjun.

Before the emperor issued the order, he had a secret conversation with Qi Chengjun. Qi Chengjun understood that the emperor was paving the way for him.

Qi Chengjun knew that the flood would be followed by the plague, but he had no choice or no choice. He took Shang Fang's sword, took food money, and dozens of imperial doctors from the imperial hospital who were very good at treating epidemics, and rushed towards the south of the Yangtze River non-stop. , just want to save the people of Jiangnan from the fire and water.

He thought he had made a complete plan, but he didn't want to see that the once prosperous villages had all become shabby, the crops were sparse, and there were even fewer people in the farmland.

Qi Chengjun did not rush into Jiangzhou, but sent people to understand the situation. Only then did he know the cruel methods of King Chu. Qi Chengjun was so angry that he wanted to chop off King Chu's head with Shang Fang's sword.

If he hadn't insisted on hiding it, how could the floods in Jiangnan be so serious!
Qi Chengjun originally wanted to know more about the situation, but he didn't want the King of Chu to have targeted him early. He took him directly to Jiangzhou City and arranged him in a restaurant. The intention behind his words was to make him eat well in Jiangzhou. Drink, just leave the disaster relief matters directly to the palace.

How could he agree!

After rejecting the King of Chu twice, Qi Chengjun became more thoughtful and would sit on the coffin board holding Shang Fang's sword when traveling every day.

So when the King of Chu said that he wanted to chop off Qi Chengjun's head, Ling Changshi and others naturally couldn't help but earnestly dissuade him: "Your Highness must not act impulsively! Qi Chengjun is much more important to the emperor than food and money. It's okay if the food and money are lost. Qi Chengjun If something happens, the emperor will definitely send troops."

"Yes, please think twice, Your Highness!" "Qi Chengjun came to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief with the determination to die. If Your Highness really takes action, the guards around Qi Chengjun will rebel on the spot!"

The King of Chu was angry with Qi Chengjun outside, and he was still angry with these staff when he came back. Suddenly, veins popped up on his neck: "This won't work, that won't work, what are you going to do? Jiangnan is flooded, don't I, the king, have no problem?" Loss? How much food and people did I lose in order to quell this disaster? "

"The food and money that Gu Yuchen sent should be compensated to me the most!"

If he hadn't opened the granary, would it be possible that so many people in Jiangnan would have died?

Ling Changshi and others looked at each other and quickly lowered their eyes.

If His Highness had reported it earlier, His Highness would not have had to lose so much.

But no one dared to say this, for fear of offending King Chu, and they would be the ones to be scolded next!

Ling Changshi was about to persuade King Chu to let Qi Chengjun come and go back properly, so as to avoid a direct conflict with the emperor.

After all, after the floods and epidemics in the Jiangnan area, it was indeed necessary to recuperate and recuperate. It would be a very unwise decision to break up with the emperor at this time.

Unexpectedly, an aide suggested: "Your Highness, Qi Chengjun loves to understand the sentiments of the people. Let's ask him to go to the epidemic area to understand the sentiments of the people! If he is infected with the epidemic, his life or death will depend on it! If he doesn't survive then, we can't blame him. It’s on His Highness.”

King Chu's furious expression suddenly calmed down, he looked straight at the staff who made the suggestion, and suddenly laughed: "What you said makes sense! Qi Chengjun wants to build an image for himself, but I want to see him. Do you dare to go to the epidemic area?"

Ling Changshi stood up immediately and was about to dissuade him, but was held tightly by the person next to him. After King Chu left, the man spoke: "Your Highness cannot listen to rejection now. If you just said no, Your Highness will be the first to do so." I will sacrifice you to heaven."

There has been no good news since His Highness woke up from coma. King Chu has been holding his breath for too long. Whoever bumps into him at this time will die!

"But Qi Chengjun is the eldest son of the Duke of Qi. The Duke of Qi is very prestigious in the military. If something happens to Qi Chengjun, the Duke of Qi will definitely bite His Highness like crazy! You..."

Ling Changshi really wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave, but not only could he not leave, he also had to find a way to discuss with his staff how to make this matter more seamless.

Qi Chengjun didn't know that King Chu would use such a vicious strategy to deal with him. Even if he knew, he would willingly go to the epidemic area.

After this period of visits, Qi Chengjun has determined that there is a huge private estate in the area connecting Jiangzhou and Huizhou, which houses tens of thousands of people, and these people have not yet been diagnosed.

After receiving this specific data, Qi Chengjun and the other imperial doctors looked at each other in shock. No one had thought that His Highness the King of Chu would be so heartbroken.

Without treatment, these people will have only one fate, and that is death!
