"When you left, did you know where the refugees had gone? How were the soldiers at the border? Were they all infected with the plague? What about the generals guarding the city? Why didn't you write a memorial, but instead made you travel thousands of miles back? You can imagine how much time that took!"
Sheng Mingyu had many questions in his mind, and when he saw the people being settled, he asked them.
He was really anxious. Although he knew that the person in front of him was not in good health, he couldn't wait that long.
The emperor was waiting for his report, and the lives of many people depended on him.
If he didn't ask for the truth, he might not even know the news until the refugees left Kyoto.
The soldier, who had been acting well just now, became as loud as a phoenix box and kept encouraging after hearing Sheng Mingyu's question.
"The refugees... are almost reaching Kyoto... hurry up and make a decision, your subordinates... ahem..."
After he finished explaining everything, he died, which scared the imperial physician next to him.
When the imperial physician stripped off the clothes of the soldier infected with the plague, he discovered how serious his condition was.
If he and Sheng Mingyu had not left the palace quickly, they would probably not have heard the news at all.
The imperial physician was also anxious. "Your Highness, there's no hope of saving him. We should hurry and request His Majesty to send troops to garrison the capital, and mobilize more imperial physicians to stop the refugees midway and provide them with prompt medical treatment."
As a doctor, he naturally knows what is the best way to protect himself.
Although it is a bit of an act of insubordination, it is the simplest way now. It can also keep all the patients out and prevent the people of Kyoto from being infected and put in danger.
Sheng Mingyu was heartbroken, but he didn't hesitate at all. "Alright! I'll report this to His Majesty. You go to the Imperial Hospital and wait. An imperial decree will be issued shortly, selecting some of the better disciples to follow me."
"Yes." The imperial physician agreed immediately.
Sheng Mingyu sent Gu Yunni back to the Prince's Mansion and rushed to the palace alone. Gu Yunni could not be allowed to continue to get involved in this matter.
She might not be able to help much, so it's better to let her go back and rest.
The emperor was also shocked when he received the news, but he did not delay.
Now that we have a solution, we must act quickly to implement it and never allow the plague to continue to spread.
Once this is done, he will definitely hold the border leaders accountable.
For a while, Kyoto was in a panic, and even ordinary people felt that something was wrong.
Some well-informed people also knew what was going on, and the rumors became more and more intense.
The people were also in a panic, and everyone was talking about it, fearing that the emperor would not take any measures.
They are just ordinary people. If anything really goes wrong, they will be the first to die.
"Have you heard? There are people infected with the plague outside Kyoto and are heading this way."
"Really? This plague is so terrifying. An outbreak could kill countless people. What measures has Your Majesty taken? Has the imperial physician been there to see him?"
"The Emperor values the people, how could he not do anything? Someone has already taken care of it. I heard that the leader of this team is still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been reliable in his work, so there is no need to worry."
…
Some people were anxious, while others were relieved. It was because Sheng Mingyu's reputation as the God of War was too loud in their hearts and could not be ignored.
Even if it was a plague, they felt that Sheng Mingyu could solve it.
"I just hope there won't be any danger. I still need to buy some more things to stock up at home. I won't go out for the next few days."
"Right, right, right. Who knows where someone infected with the plague might pop up? It's better to stay out of the house. Even though the prince is reliable, it's still best to be careful."
They were not afraid, but they still took measures.
Of course we won’t do nothing. Who doesn’t put their own life first?
Sheng Mingyu has been having a headache these days as Kyoto is surrounded by refugees.
I'm afraid that the soldier before him arrived in Kyoto before he even sensed what was happening behind him.
How can this be just a few people? This is clearly a lot!
The imperial physicians are extremely busy. They couldn't handle a few people, and now a bunch of them have come. What should they do?
Everyone is very anxious. When will the correct prescription be found?
If there is no medicine, I am afraid more people will die.
Du Changming stayed quiet in the Prince's Mansion for a long time. When he heard what was happening outside, he couldn't sit still anymore and ran out in a hurry.
"Father! Why don't you let me handle this plague issue? Why give it to Sheng Mingyu? Although he is a member of the royal family, he is best at leading troops in battle. How can he handle the affairs of the people? Why not let me practice!"
The emperor was already in a bad mood, and he was also very unhappy recently because of the plague.
After hearing Du Changming's words, he was furious and lost his temper, "Practicing? Listen to what you are saying! Those are the lives of all the people! You said it was just practicing?!"
He really wanted Du Changming to surpass Sheng Mingyu, but seeing him like this, he was very disappointed. "How can I trust you with the throne? How can I trust you with the lives of all the people? You don't even treat them as human beings! Get out! Don't let me see you again."
The emperor threw all the memorials in front of him at Du Changming.
Many cities have sent memorials recently, mostly about the plague. He is already extremely busy and has not seen Du Changming share any of the burden with him.
Now that he sees the benefits, he knows how to show off. He is so greedy! He doesn't care about his father's health!
Du Changming knelt hurriedly, his face grim, and he kept apologizing, "Father, calm down! It's all your fault for not being able to speak. I just wanted to do something for the people. Besides, doesn't Sheng Mingyu also rely on the Imperial Hospital? Since it's all the Imperial Hospital's business, why don't you let me do it? Once the plague is resolved, the people's hearts will be with me!"
At the end, he gave a bunch of self-righteous reasons and always felt that he was right.
The emperor was so angry that he coughed. Du Changming really disappointed him.
“Okay, okay!”
He suppressed his temper and tried hard to adjust his son's mindset. He also wanted to hear what shameless words he could say!
"Since you said Sheng Mingyu can't handle these troubles, then tell me how you can solve them. If your method is reliable, I am not against letting you participate."
He wanted to understand Du Changming's heart, always feeling that he was still a child.
He has so many wrong ideas, which should be due to my inadequate education. I just hope that after today's incident, I can completely straighten his mindset.
Moreover, looking at Du Changming's confident look, he really thought that he could have some good idea.
