A plague broke out again recently, and the emperor issued an urgent order to close the city of Bianzhou and prevent people infected with the plague from entering the city.
However, this could not prevent the disease from developing into a plague. Soon, many people in the capital, who were already weak from hunger and cold, were infected with the plague and died in large numbers. Many old and sick officials in the court also fell ill one after another.
The number of people in the palace was also decreasing day by day.
In the court, all the ministers were discussing this matter.
The emperor sat on a high seat with a screen between him and his ministers.
The ministers in the court were discussing the matter.
"This...what should we do? If this matter is not resolved, it will definitely damage the foundation of Dagan."
"Yes, our country originally spent a lot of military supplies to quell the war, and the treasury was almost empty. Now we are facing famine and plague..."
"This kind of natural disaster is simply unprecedented! It has never happened in the many years since the founding of the country."
"Historically, whenever a natural disaster occurs, the court will send people to quell the rebellion, and the situation will be resolved in a short time. But the continuous disasters now are clearly a sign of national destruction!"
Someone raised his voice and roared desperately, "Heaven wants to destroy our Great Gan. It must be because of the incident with the general last time. The King of Jin provoked heaven's punishment, and the country of Gan has suffered this crime in vain!"
Natural disasters do not always go as planned. When people are in despair, they can only pray for life to continue. Some people are even willing to believe in divine punishment.
But most people just follow the trend.
The old man, dressed in a bright red official robe, knelt on the ground and wailed, "Your Majesty, please obey the will of Heaven immediately and execute Prince Jin, the Empress, and the remnants of the exiled Ji family to restore the majesty of Heaven!"
Prime Minister Su glanced at the people behind him, and the others knelt down together, "Your Majesty, please follow God's will and save the people of South Korea."
The emperor covered his mouth and coughed softly. His head felt heavy and painful, and he shouted angrily, "Absurd!"
Xiao Dinghan raised his head and laughed heartily, "His Majesty sent you to court to serve the country, but you all became so superstitious that you punish innocent people because of natural disasters."
"To put it bluntly, you're useless and can't solve any major problems, so you're pushing the blame onto innocent people."
Although he had a grudge against King Jin, those people in the Ji family were innocent, and he could not kill others because of King Jin.
"If it is as King Xiao said, I wonder what solution King Xiao has." Prime Minister Su glanced at him and said.
"I don't believe that none of you have never heard of it. A miracle doctor emerged in the Youzhou area. Thanks to this miracle doctor, the people were able to escape from their suffering. The solution is very simple. We just need to find the miracle doctor." Xiao Dinghan said with his arms folded.
"In that case, Your Majesty, it would be better for you to bring this man back as soon as possible." Someone else said hurriedly.
Although these officials are in good health now, many of their servants, wives and children have been infected with the plague.
"Report!" someone shouted loudly in the court.
Chunxi, the eunuch beside the emperor, took the letter handed over by the attendant.
Just as the letter was handed to the emperor, a man in Jinyiwei clothes walked into the court.
"Your Majesty, recently many cities have received carrier pigeon messages, reporting the appearance of divine objects."
"Based on the movement path of the divine object, it should reach Bianjing."
"I heard that the divine object is always moving. When it encounters hungry people, it will throw out food and drink to help them escape. It even throws out medicine to patients infected with the plague. I heard that those patients' conditions improved after taking the medicine."
"God...divine object, Your Majesty, may God bless our country. It must be that God knows our plight and has specially allowed the divine object to appear to save our people!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the court officials knelt down and shouted loudly, "God bless me and do great things!"
"Your Majesty's concern for the country and the people must have moved Heaven!"
"Your Majesty is mighty, and with the help of divine objects, I, Dagan, will surely be able to overcome this danger!"
Xiao Dinghan saw them taking advantage of the momentum to flatter others and curled his lips. What a bunch of cowards, they would shift the blame to others when there was something wrong, and only knew how to flatter others when there was nothing to do. They would never do any serious work.
What kind of divine object is this? It is better to believe that this is man-made than to believe in supernatural powers. Who knows who is manipulating this matter behind the scenes and deliberately using the divine object as an excuse to cause trouble.
The emperor took a breath excitedly when he heard this, but before he could catch his breath, he covered his mouth to prevent himself from coughing.
The eunuch next to him was so frightened when he saw this that his face turned purple, fearing that the emperor would suffocate and die in the court.
He hurried forward to calm the emperor down and whispered, "Your Majesty, please don't be anxious."
The emperor recovered and asked, "Where is the magical object now?"
The emperor doesn't care about so many things. No matter whether it is human or supernatural, in his opinion, as long as the current dilemma can be solved, it is enough.
What's more, he himself was infected with the plague, and no palace physician could cure him.
This matter must not be known to others.
Moreover, he cannot die now. If he dies, the country will definitely be unstable. Prime Minister Su and King Xiao in the court are both hidden dangers.
Isn't it said that Qian'er is not in Bian Jing now? Even if Qian'er is in Bian Jing, Qian'er's foundation is not stable and he cannot suppress Prince Xiao's Mansion at all.
That divine object was his only hope.
"According to the messages from various cities, they should arrive in Bian Jing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." said Xiao Qinmo, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on the city gate and report immediately if anything unusual is detected," the emperor said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Qinmo, I'm sending you to wait at the city gate. If you confirm it's really the divine object, you must immediately escort it into the capital. No mistakes!"
"Yes, I obey your order!" Xiao Qinmo stood up and left the hall.
"We can discuss these matters after the divine objects arrive. If there is nothing else, you can all leave." The emperor waved his hand.
