A Cai's work Emperor Phoenix Godly Doctor Abandoned Concubine Emperor Phoenix Godly Doctor Abandoned Concubine Volume 1686 spread, beauty ruins the country
Epidemic!
At least in the eyes of the people, this is epidemic disease, or as terrible as epidemic disease.
In just two days, the ancient corpse poison had spread among the people of the imperial city. Because these people lived far away from the city center, by the time the city officials discovered it, the situation was slowly getting out of control.
"The epidemic has a serious impact. I request the Ninth Uncle to order the isolation of the sick and the cremation of their bodies on the spot after death." This official was considered to be a man of action.
"I ask the Ninth Prince to send the imperial physician to calm the people."
"The epidemic is spreading in the city. For the sake of the safety of His Majesty and the Ninth Uncle, I request that His Majesty move the capital or move to another palace." There is nothing wrong with worrying about the safety of the emperor, but instigating the emperor to abandon the people and become a deserter is a crime that deserves death.
At first, the civil and military officials were still seriously discussing how to deal with this matter, but as they talked, they strayed from the main topic...
"Ninth uncle, the epidemic is God's punishment for the emperor's dissatisfaction. Ninth uncle, you have been regent for less than half a year, and ominous events have occurred one after another. I request that the emperor issue an edict to hold you accountable." The speaker was an official of the Inspectorate, who was the emperor's man.
Although the Ninth Prince cleaned up a group of officials, he could not dominate alone. There were people in the court who were under the control of the Emperor, headed by Fu Lin. However, these people usually did not dare to speak out, but this time they found out the fault of the Ninth Prince and would not let it go.
As soon as this statement was made, someone immediately echoed it. Officials from the factions of Prince Zhou, Prince Yong and others also followed suit, saying openly or secretly that this epidemic was because God was dissatisfied with the Ninth Prince's regent, and believed that the Ninth Prince had misbehaved and must be held accountable by the emperor.
In order to force the Ninth Prince, these people even dug up old stories, saying that when the Supreme Emperor locked up the Ninth Prince, God sent down thunder as a warning. For the sake of the people, the Supreme Emperor not only released the Ninth Prince, but also issued an edict of repentance, admitting his mistakes to God. The Ninth Prince should also learn from the Supreme Emperor and take responsibility for his actions.
"Bah!" The officials of the Ninth Prince's faction were unhappy and even cursed: "What did the Ninth Prince do? When did the Ninth Prince dare to do something but not take responsibility? You people can talk people to death with just one word. Did you find out what happened before you spoke?"
"Why haven't we investigated it? Of course we have investigated it. For a woman like Feng Qingchen, the Ninth Prince not only mobilized the troops of the Nine Gates Admiral, but also used the officials of Shuntian Prefecture as servants. If it weren't for this, the epidemic wouldn't have spread."
"Beauty is a disaster, beauty is a disaster for the country. If everyone is like Feng Qingchen, using soldiers as servants, the world will be in chaos. I ask the Ninth Prince to think twice and not destroy the country of Dongling because of beauty."
Dong, dong, dong... Six or seven officials knelt down instantly, and one by one asked the Ninth Prince to think twice and not do anything detrimental to the country for the sake of a woman.
Well, the responsibility was instantly pushed from the Ninth Prince to Feng Qingchen. The Ninth Prince had done nothing wrong except for his love of beauty. All the mistakes were made by Feng Qingchen. It was Feng Qingchen who instigated the Ninth Prince to make mistakes.
"Beauty is a disaster for the country? How dare you say that? What was copied from the coffin shop? Have you forgotten it? As for all the officials being servants and using them for personal purposes, this is even more nonsense. Miss Feng is the daughter of the Duke of Enguo, and Master Feng is the son of the Duke of Enguo. If he disappears, won't the government look for him?"
The officials of the Ninth Prince's faction refuted the charges listed by the other party one by one, but the other party turned a deaf ear to them and only shouted that Feng Qingchen's beauty was a disaster for the country and asked the Ninth Prince to make a decision as soon as possible...
There was a lot of noise in the hall. When these officials quarreled, they were more fierce than street women. Wang Jinling shook his head slightly and looked up at the Ninth Prince. Just as he thought, the Ninth Prince did not take these people's words seriously at all. When these people quarreled for a while, the Ninth Prince slowly spoke: "Who told you that this is a fever?"
When the Ninth Prince said this, everyone fell silent. Except for Wang Jinling, who had known about it for a long time, everyone else, including Fu Lin, looked at the Ninth Prince in confusion. A small voice of doubt came from among the officials: "If it's not the plague, then what is it? Besides the plague, what other diseases are like this?"
No one knew who said this, they only knew where it came from. The Ninth Prince had no intention of pursuing the matter, he just snorted, but this sound made all the officials tremble with fear.
They did not forget that this Lord was not the Emperor. The Emperor would listen to the officials' advice and would also worry about his reputation, but this Lord would not. This Lord was always overbearing. If they really angered him, they would not be killed for no reason, but they would suffer.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at the Ninth Prince again. The people from the retired emperor's faction secretly rejoiced that they were targeting Feng Qingchen this time and did not offend the Ninth Prince too badly. If the Ninth Prince punished them for a woman, Feng Qingchen would have been convicted of being a beauty that brought disaster to the country.
The Ninth Prince took in all the officials' expressions. Except for the prime minister and a few old ministers, he could guess what everyone else was thinking. He did not waste words with them and directly summoned the director of the Imperial Hospital to come in and talk.
In such an occasion, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau did not dare to waste words and explained the matter in a few words: After consultation with all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, it was concluded that the disease spreading in the city this time was not an epidemic but a poison, an ancient corpse poison.
"Please rest assured, everyone. We in the Imperial Hospital are all researching this corpse poison, and we will come up with a treatment plan soon." The so-called consultation was nothing more than Feng Qingchen's argument to convince all the imperial doctors that this was poison and not a fever. As for the treatment plan...
The director of the hospital took all the credit for the Imperial Hospital, but those who really knew the truth knew that it was also Feng Qingchen's credit. It's just that too few people knew the truth, so even though Feng Qingchen had done so much, she still had to bear the reputation of being a beauty who brought disaster to the country.
The imperial physician came out to refute the rumor, and the officials of the emperor's faction had nothing to say, except...
“I wonder how many days it will take for Lord Yuanzheng to come up with a treatment plan. People are in a panic right now. If they can be given a definite time, it will also reassure the people.” This is a trap, and the target is not the Lord Yuanzheng but the Ninth Prince.
The director of the Imperial Hospital's pupils suddenly contracted, beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and he didn't dare to answer at all.
How could such a thing be easily promised and announced to the people? If there is no antidote by then, who will calm the anger of the people?
"Sir, how many days will it take? You should give us a specific date. The emperor and the ninth uncle are still waiting, and so are the poisoned people." The officials from the retired emperor's faction were relentless. The director of the Imperial Hospital opened his mouth for a long time but could not utter a word.
The Ninth Prince sneered and gave Fu Lin a look. Fu Lin stood up and asked like the officials of the Emperor's faction, "Master Yuanzheng, will ten days be enough? Or will it take you a year or two, until everyone in the Imperial Hospital dies, before you can come up with an antidote?
The officials of the Emperor's faction were delighted when they saw their leader speak, waiting for the Emperor to speak...
