Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 465
Shen Guogong's mansion.

The veteran who had been working for the Tang Dynasty all his life seemed to have aged quite a bit in just a few days.The originally sparse painting between the temples is completely white.

Sitting at the desk at this moment, frowning and listening to the family general reading the urgent report from the western frontier, his heart fell to the bottom of the valley.

The epidemic on the western frontier did not develop as expected, and even worsened, even the [-] soldiers and horses guarding it paled in comparison.

The panic brought about by the epidemic, coupled with Han Xiaowei's act of burning his body to extinguish the disaster, made the situation of fleeing on the western frontier even worse.

The mighty sick people and the healthy people swept through the surrounding cities like locusts crossing the border, no less than a mighty battle!

"Uncle, uncle! It's bad!"

While still in a daze, Changsun Wuji's familiar and anxious voice came from outside the house.

Before getting up to greet him, the uninvited Changsun Wuji had already stepped over the threshold and hurried in.

He raised his eyes to see the approaching figure, and briefly talked about things.

"The city defense came to report that the servants of King Wei's mansion are covered in scars and have already returned to the city!"

Hearing this, Gao Shilian felt a false alarm, sat down again, glanced angrily at Changsun Wuji who was standing on the side, and slapped the desk angrily.

"Currently, the epidemic on the western border is as fierce as a tiger, and the entire western border is almost corrupted. You still have time to care about these trivial matters!"

"It's no small matter! Uncle."

Pulling the chair and stool to sit on Gao Shilian's side, Changsun Wuji lost his composure in a hurry and tugged on Gao Shilian's sleeve.

"When did the people from King Wei's mansion leave the city? Isn't it surprising that His Highness King Wei didn't say a word while the servants were covered in scars?"

After a few words of advice, Gao Shilian's complexion suddenly changed, he stood up abruptly, and suddenly turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji who stood up after him.

"You mean that His Royal Highness King Wei has already gone to find Li Xian, and there was a conflict?"

Changsun Wuji slammed his palm and spoke immediately.

"That's right! It's probably because Li Xian messed up the matter!"

"Our men and horses arrived later. Earlier, the old man also received a report from his servants, saying that he had met His Royal Highness's Qianniu bodyguard."

"This... You said that if this trouble continues, there is still a possibility of inviting Li Xian out of the mountain!"

Spreading his hands, Changsun Wuji was also helpless.

The battle for the crown prince has been raging in private, and at this time, it happens to encounter such a disease that can be called a national disaster, which can be said to be even worse!
If a trouble is not good, it will only make things worse!

Gao Shilian beat his palms with his fists, and Gao Shilian paced in the restless house.

"These princes are really worrying! If you make a fuss again, you will make a big fuss!"

"Today's Western Frontier disease is on the verge of collapse. Counties and prefectures around the border are in dire straits. Even Dr. Sun can't develop new special prescriptions for the time being! Internal and external troubles, this is going to bring disaster to Tang Dynasty!"

Looking at the figure pacing back and forth, Changsun Wuji felt even more anxious, got up to meet the walking figure, pulled Gao Shilian and dragged him towards the door.

"Don't hesitate! Let's go to His Majesty's Air Defense to make an order!"

"Recalling Li Xian, no matter whether it can solve the epidemic or not, at least it will give us more strength!"

Holding down the pulling arm, Gao Shilian forced himself to calm down and waved his arm.

"Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer!"

"How could Tang Tang be involved in such a way by a courtier! This old man will go to Wei Wang's mansion to inquire, at least to find out what these people are doing."

……

The night wind carried a slight chill and blew towards the palace, passing by the Tai Chi Palace.

The eunuchs and maids stood outside the lamplight with their hands down. In the burning candlelight, Li Shimin took out a scroll from the mountain of bamboo slips in front of the desk and read it carefully.

The epidemic in the West Frontier was fierce, and it was extremely similar to the situation in the previous dynasties.

As the saying goes, if you use the past as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs.

As the king of a country, at least before the worst event comes, he must learn from the experience of the previous dynasty and make the most correct choice.

With the sound of footsteps, Empress Changsun lifted the light cloak, gently lifted the veil, and got in.

Flicking her bare hands, she put the clothes on Li Shimin's body, and sat quietly by her side.

"The maid of Guanyin is here."

Li Shimin's voice was somewhat hoarse, and he never moved his eyes away.

The light lit up her tired face, and Empress Changsun frowned slightly, she gently waved her arm to signal the maid who was holding a silver plate at the side of the hall to come.

Brush off the screen, take the chicken soup that has just been boiled, gently put it on the corner of the table and lift the pottery cover.

"The epidemic is raging, and the western frontier is in danger. Even though there is no delay, your majesty should raise the dragon's body well before he can devote his energy to the stability of his homeland."

"This is the chicken soup that my concubine just simmered. It is just right for you to be hot. Please drink some while it's hot, Your Majesty."

Originally wanting to reject this kindness, Li Shimin put down the scroll and took it from Empress Changsun as the soup had already filled the pottery bowl on one side in the corner of his vision.

Putting it to the corner of his mouth, he took a sip, and looked at the bamboo slips and books on the desk, the worried expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Give out porridge, open warehouses to release grain, and the kings of all dynasties have done this."

"However, if no special medicine stone can be found, the people will be dragged down by the epidemic in panic. In the worst case, no one in a town will be spared, and in severe cases, most of the entire state and county will be killed or injured. It can be called a tragedy in the world, and it is terrible."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed softly, put the bowls and chopsticks in his hands on the desk, and turned his head to look at Empress Changsun beside him.

"Speaking of which, what Datang is doing now seems to be not much different from it."

"If this disease spreads completely, I don't know how many innocent people will die here in my Tang land."

Hearing the words, Empress Changsun also sighed softly.

"Diseases and epidemics are more severe than wars, and the ensuing famine and chaos are doomed for the Tang Dynasty."

"Even though there are countless capable ministers in the imperial court, the younger generation is still honing in their infancy, and the older generation has a heart, but they are all full of hair and powerless. When the young and the yellow are not connected, after all, there is no one who can handle the crisis with ease. .”

"If he was here, maybe it would be better..."

The husband and wife tacitly knew who he was referring to when Empress Changsun said.

Leaning on the back of the seat, Li Shimin's face was full of anger, and his face was stern.

"Don't mention that kid to me!"

"Leaving from the imperial city without saying a word, what is this for? To show my face? It seems that I have the intention to drive him away!"

"Also, this kid is not a good guy! Just go wandering in the countryside by yourself, and bring my daughter with you. Zhi'er has been weak since he was a child, how can he suffer like this!"

hum~
A surge of anger gushed out of his nasal cavity, Li Shimin folded his hands on his chest, and continued to swear without feeling relieved.

"Wei Guogong Li Jing has always been an honest person, why did he give birth to this nonsense thing!"

"Don't let me catch this kid and bring him back to the city, or else you'll push him out in public... Let's see what other abilities he has!"

Empress Changsun knew that this was just Li Shimin's angry words for a while, the powerful king really wanted to catch this boy, how could it take today, an imperial decree was issued all over the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and within seven days, this boy had no room to take advantage of his loopholes.

Su took the angry figure away, leaning against Li Shimin's side, and Empress Changsun put on a smiling face.

"Okay, okay! Your majesty is right. Tomorrow, the concubine will go to Eunuch Rong to pass on your majesty's oral order, and go to the city to post arrest notices."

"Let the county magistrates everywhere rectify the law on the spot, put him in prison, and let him never return to Beijing, so that His Majesty will not be upset by seeing it."

Hearing the words, Li Shimin turned sideways and waved his hands.

"That can't be done. In my Tang Dynasty, it's hard to find such a... strange talent! It's easy for him to be imprisoned!"

The words paused, and the expression on his face softened. Looking at the dim candlestick on the desk, Li Shimin sighed softly.

"Yeah, I miss him too, and I also miss our quality..."

"I don't know how they are doing now..."
