Chapter 110: Lord Song is Brave
"Your Majesty, this matter is urgent, and my proposal is well thought out."
"After the court session yesterday, I had a discussion with Miss Jiang. We originally planned to go to the place where the plague occurred to try to solve the problem, but this morning we heard the news that the plague had spread to the west of the city. This shows how fast the disease spreads. The most urgent task is to do our best to prevent the plague from spreading throughout the imperial city."
Song Yunchu looked at Jun Liluo with a firm gaze, "Your Majesty, please make a quick decision and close the west of the city! I am the one who earns your salary, so I have to worry about your worries. Please allow me to go to the west of the city."
Jun Liluo looked at her and felt a little depressed.
As a king, he must worry about the country and the people. Now that a difficult epidemic has broken out among the people, there are ministers willing to share his worries. He should feel relieved, but why -
The person who volunteered was Song Yunchu, not some other minister?
"Eating the emperor's salary and sharing his worries" is not just Song Yunchu's responsibility, but an attitude that all ministers should follow.
He could almost foresee that after Song Yunchu volunteered, there would be many voices of agreement.
"Your Majesty." Song Yunchu looked at him steadily and asked again, "Let me go."
Behind Song Yunchu, Gong Mingyuan came back to his senses, and for a moment he was unsure what Song Yunchu was trying to do.
Lord Song has always been sensible in his actions. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely add a sentence "I second the motion", but at this moment, he really didn't dare to second the motion.
Lord Song obviously knew how serious the plague was. For such things, shouldn't one stay as far away from it as possible? Lord Song was a first-rank official, and no one dared to push him to go, so why was he still rushing to go?
Is he so confident in Miss Jiang?
Not only was Gong Mingyuan confused, but several ministers who usually supported Song Yunchu also didn't know what to say for a moment.
After much thought, they decided that Lord Song was probably starting to care about his own reputation and was taking the risk in the hope of achieving great success.
It takes a lot of courage for an ordinary person to risk his own safety.
Song Xiang's party was unwilling to second the motion, but several ministers on the other side who had always been at odds with Song Yunchu seconded the motion.
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Song said makes sense. Since Lord Song is not afraid of danger, Your Majesty should let Lord Song give it a try."
"This matter is indeed urgent and should not be delayed. Your Majesty, I implore you to follow Lord Song's advice and close off the west side of the city."
"Sir Song is willing to take risks for the sake of the people of Liming. I will pray for you. Please take care of yourself."
Gong Mingyuan glared at the people who were talking.
These old guys with bad intentions usually complain about Sir Song behind his back. Now they are adding fuel to the fire and wish to send Sir Song to the west of the city immediately.
Instead of praying, they were probably cursing secretly, hoping that Lord Song would not come back.
Gong Mingyuan was unhappy, but he couldn't curse in person, so he could only listen to the people behind him agreeing with him one by one.
Song Yunchu naturally understood that many of these seconding voices had bad intentions.
But she doesn't care.
Solving the plague involves both benefits and risks. She believes in Jiang Rumin. Moreover, the plague has already spread to the imperial city. If no quick measures are taken, who can guarantee that she will not be the next person to be infected?
Rather than waiting for everyone to panic in the end, it would be better for her to take the lead and take risks. If the plague is not eradicated, the situation will only get worse day by day, and hiding anywhere will be futile in the end.
At the same time, Jun Liluo listened to Song Yunchu's thoughts and the ministers' voices of agreement, and his knuckles clenched tighter around the handles of the dragon throne.
He could sense that Song Yunchu really wanted to go.
It's not just for fame and fortune, it's also to eradicate disasters, to consider the safety of everyone and yourself, and not to be afraid of taking risks.
Jun Liluo calmed himself down and finally agreed, "Then let's do as the Song family said. I will ask you to go to the west of the city to check the situation and send military generals to help you intimidate the people."
As soon as Jun Li Luo finished speaking, someone among the generals volunteered.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to assist Lord Song."
Song Yunchu turned around to look at the person who was speaking, and it was General Zhao who had returned from suppressing bandits in Xiuyang County a few days ago.
The three generations of Zhao family generals were famous for their bravery and fearlessness, just like Shen Yue's family. This man, who had never had any friendship with her, volunteered at this moment purely to be loyal to the court.
Jun Liluo approved General Zhao's self-recommendation.
After the morning court session, Song Yunchu quickly left the hall. Someone caught up with her from behind. It was Gong Mingyuan.
"Sir Song, are you sure? It's too risky for you to do this."
Unlike Gong Mingyuan's worry, Song Yunchu's face was exceptionally calm. "I'm not absolutely sure, but I've already spoken, and there's no room for retreat. If this matter can't be resolved, do you think it's just the ordinary people who will suffer? Those of us in high positions won't be spared either."
Gong Mingyuan sighed softly, "I just feel that even if you don't ask, His Majesty will send someone else..."
"Don't say these meaningless words. If you are really worried, go to the temple and pray for the true form to return soon."
When people face unknown disasters, they will inevitably feel worried and frightened, and she is no exception.
What's the point of being afraid? Fear and escape can't eliminate the plague. Instead of worrying all day, it's better to tense up and face the challenge.
On the other side, in Ruihe Hall, Jiang Rumin had also packed her bags and was sitting behind the counter waiting for Song Yunchu to come over.
However, what she didn't expect was that an uninvited guest arrived at the door of Ruihe Hall before Song Yunchu.
Jiang Rumin looked at the person who came, with a hint of displeasure between his brows.
Why did this person come here again? Did she not make her words clear last time?
Jun Tianyi didn't care what Jiang Rumin's expression was. He strode into Ruihetang and came to the counter.
"Minmin, do you really want to take this risk with Song Yunchu? Do you know how difficult the plague is?"
Jun Tianyi's face was tense, with anger and worry between his brows.
"In just a few days, hundreds of people have been harmed. This is only the number discovered as of yesterday morning. I don't know how many more have been added today. Several patients have also appeared in the west of the city. His Majesty has sent people to seal off the west of the city and no one is allowed to come out. Once you step in, it will be difficult to get out again."
Jiang Rumin was slightly startled.
Didn't Lord Song say yesterday that the plague was in Taihe County, dozens of miles away? Only one day later, it had spread to the west of the city.
If this is the case... then we need to find a solution to this disease as soon as possible. Now only patients have been found in the west of the city. In a few days, there is no guarantee that problems will not occur in the east, south, and north of the city.
The several hundred people counted by the government yesterday may only be a part of the actual number of people infected. There are still some who were not reported in time or have not been discovered yet.
"Minmin, I know you are still angry with me. It's okay if you don't want to come back to me, but you must not take risks with Song Yunchu!"
Jun Tianyi said coldly: "Song Yunchu volunteered to go to the west of the city to satisfy his utilitarianism, not because he was really worried about the country. He knew that you were an excellent doctor, so he wanted to use you to pursue fame and fortune. Why can't you see it?"
