"I agree with what Master Tong said. We just need to send people to guard the nearby counties and solve the problem at its root."
"The capital is very far away. Even if we control the epidemic in time, it is impossible for it to spread to the capital. What Master Lingye said in the letter is too alarmist."
"Although the disasters he predicted before have all come true, they were not as severe as he initially predicted."
"If we really follow what is said in the letter, it will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources. I think it is unnecessary."
"Lord Suo'etu is wrong. If an epidemic really breaks out, it won't be as simple as we think. Many merchants from the south ship goods to the north every year. This disease won't manifest itself just by being infected."
"If those people transport goods to various places with illnesses, the consequences are not something we can afford."
Doctor Zheng frowned, "So we can't disregard the lives of the majority of the people just to save money and effort. Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Doctor Zheng had also witnessed rampant plagues when he was young.
A lot of people died at that time, and people in many towns were infected with the plague.
This disease is not a minor disaster or illness, but a plague that can be contagious to humans. If we don't take precautions in advance and the plague spreads, we will be finished.
Now that they know about it in advance, they still have time to prepare. Once the plague begins to spread, it will be too late to take precautions everywhere.
Ma Qi also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I agree with Imperial Physician Zheng. No matter what, we must prioritize the safety of the people. This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty, please reconsider."
"Your Majesty, I also think what Doctor Zheng said makes sense. We can't fail to take measures just because it takes time and effort. You know, if an epidemic breaks out, the speed of transmission will be extremely fast." The Sixth Master stood up and said.
The Crown Prince also stood up and said, "Father Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is that serious. We should follow Master Tong's instructions and control the nearby towns. Don't let the people there leave. That way, even if there is a plague, we can stop it as quickly as possible."
Sixth Master: "Father, we don't know the exact situation over there right now. If someone is already infected and doesn't know it, and spreads it to others, then it's useless to just guard against the neighboring counties."
"We should ask people in all counties to step up their protection. If patients show symptoms, they should be isolated. This is the most important thing."
And the fourth brother also went there, and the sixth master couldn't help but start to worry about his fourth brother.
Doctor Zheng: "Your Majesty, Sixth Prince is right. The plague did not break out all at once. If we wait until many people are infected, it will be out of control."
Emperor Kangxi glanced at Prince Zhi and the others and said, "You are silent, which means you agree with what the Sixth Master and Doctor Zheng said."
The Prince of Zhi has always been at odds with the Crown Prince, so naturally he agrees with the Sixth Prince.
He took a step forward and said, "I think Sixth Brother is right. You can believe this kind of thing or not."
Third Master: "I agree too."
The fifth brother said: "Same as mine."
Seeing so many people agreeing, Lao Ba didn't know what to say and followed suit, "Son, I agree too."
The prince felt unhappy when he saw that everyone was contradicting him.
He felt they were against him.
Emperor Kangxi also thought what they said made sense. "Well, then, I'll leave this matter to you two, Prince Zhi and the Third Brother. Please make sure it's implemented as soon as possible."
"I will send someone to the Fourth Brother's place as fast as possible to tell them about this matter, and I will also send a few imperial doctors to take a look."
"Yes." Prince Zhi and the Third Master accepted the order.

Fourth Master's Mansion
The Fourth Lady also learned that the Fourth Master had been suddenly sent to the south.
"How could it be so sudden? I didn't hear the master mention it a few days ago." Fu Jin put down the teacup and said in surprise.
"I don't know either. The master left in a hurry, and even the eunuchs came back to pack his clothes. Maybe there was something urgent." Nanny Chang shook her head.
Ma Jia Ruening, who was sitting next to him, looked a little lonely when she heard it.
She thought that she would be able to see the Fourth Master when she came to his house. Even if the Fourth Master didn't know her, it would be good for her to say a few words to him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, the Fourth Master went to the south, and he would definitely not come back for several months.
However, thinking that with her cousin's help, she would definitely be granted to the Fourth Master as a princess, and it would be easy for her to see the Fourth Master in the future.
Thinking of this, Ma Jia Ruening felt a little better.
"But this is too hasty. This has never happened before. Madam Chang, please go and find out what happened."
"I have sent someone to investigate, and I believe they will be back soon."
"Cousin, don't worry. There may be something that the Fourth Master needs to do. I believe he will be back after he finishes his task." Ma Jia Ruining said carefully and considerately.
The wife waved her hand, and seeing this, Nanny Chang and the other servants bowed and left.
Only Fu Jin and Ma Jia Ruening were left in the room.
"Cousin, you have something to say to me." Ma Jia Ruining asked doubtfully.
"I originally wanted to take advantage of these days to let you and the master meet a few times to get familiar with each other and let him have an impression of you. I didn't expect the master to suddenly go to the south."
The Fourth Lady still felt a little regretful.
Rui Ning is a pretty girl, and the master will probably be interested in her when he sees her.
It's just a pity that she had planned everything well, but when her master went to the south, all her plans were disrupted.
By the time the master comes back, the draft will probably be over.
"But don't worry. I will do my best to get Mother to give you to the Fourth Master as a princess during this selection."
Ma Jia Ruining was overjoyed, but she smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, cousin. I will listen to you in the future and do whatever you ask me to do."
She still had to express her attitude, after all, she had not yet become the Fourth Master's princess.
Besides, her cousin is the Fourth Lady. I believe that as long as she listens to her cousin, her cousin will definitely treat her well.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me now. Let's wait until everything is settled."
The matter is still uncertain at the moment, she has to talk to her mother about it.
She will go to the palace tomorrow and tell her mother about this matter.
After all, it is my mother who chooses the talent show.
However, most of the concubines would decide on the concubine or princess to be given to their sons before the selection.
The selection was at most just a formality, or a process of selecting a few people for other royal relatives and nobles.
Of course, if the emperor is satisfied with her, he will take her into the harem.
"yes."
Even so, Ma Jia Ruining was already very happy. With her cousin's words, she had at least a 50% chance of entering the Fourth Master's Mansion.
