Chapter 279 Outbreak
Two hours later, a piece of news exploded over the vicissitudes like thunder.
The Great Drought in North County, the victims are everywhere, and the plague spreads and the hunger is everywhere!
The short 16 words made Mo Ao, who heard the report, faint directly, and the queen quickly took a group of imperial doctors to heal him. After a long time of strength, Mo Ao woke up. The first thing he woke up was to directly bring the person who came to deliver the letter and asked harshly, "You said... tell me the news you brought again."
"Your Majesty, there was a severe drought in North County. I thought it had little impact before, but after the spring, a plague broke out overnight. A large number of cattle and sheep died, and many people were starved to death at home. Now the disaster victims gathered together and there was a riot, smashing all the government office and robbed all the food. Go, but the plague continues to spread. Now the two cities in North County are going to become empty cities. Please be the emperor!"
Mo Ao struggled to get up, but he didn't have enough strength and fell back. He only felt black in front of him: "It turned out that... he developed to this point to report. Are the officials of the North County all dead? Unexpectedly, things have not been reported until now. I... I must kill you!"
"The emperor forgives his sins, and the emperor is angry. The slave also wanted to report it, but those disaster victims blocked it in every way. When the slave came, more than 100 brothers helped to break through. Your Majesty, things are difficult to control now!"
"Good...that's great!" Mo Ao stared, his eyes full of blood, and his chest fluctuated violently. He gasped and suppressed the bloody smell in his mouth. "Go... Go and announce the prince and several princes, and call the owners of the Situ family, the Han family and the Zhao family to discuss the matter."
"Yes, your Majesty." Seeing that the situation was wrong, the eunuch next to him quickly ran out to spread the decree.
At this time, Mu Qingya was sitting behind the desk in Jingningxuan.
"Miss, now several princes and the owners of the three major families are with the emperor. It's been two hours and they haven't come out yet."
Hearing the news of Leqi's report, Mu Qingya's eyes were far away: "North County should belong to the junction of the prince and the second prince's fiefdom, right?"
"Yes, just in the middle of the fief boundary between the prince and the second prince, the relationship between the two princes is not good, and there is also some small frictions on the border. Generally, no one cares about it. Therefore, as it slowly develops, the North County has gathered many vicious people, which is extremely difficult to govern. This riot is estimated to be It was initiated by those thugs.
Mu Qingya nodded, but knew in her heart that Zhao Duo played an important role in this place's riot so quickly. There are natural disasters in the drought and plague, but people's hearts are even more difficult to control.
"Miss, there is a disturbance in Canglan now. I don't think I have the energy to interfere with Yuhan anymore, so that the emperor can suppress the northwest rebellion as soon as possible."
Mu Qingya nodded, but she was not very relaxed. After thinking for a while, she said, "You're right. I'll prepare it tomorrow. I'm going to invite Princess Mingli to visit."
"Yes, miss." Leqi was a little uneasy, "Miss, I have something to say."
"What's wrong?" Mu Qingya knew more or less what she was thinking, but she did not expose her.
"Miss, the maidservant should not have said so, but Princess Mingli almost grew up in the cold palace and has always been suppressed by Princess Duanmu Mingzhu. If it hadn't been that Duanmu Mingzhu had framed Miss several times and been stabbed by the emperor, she would have been the only princess left in the palace, and it would not have been her turn to come. Honey, but at the banquet, the maidservant also carefully observed the bright princess and always felt that she was too close to the young lady. How could a princess be so straightforward? To say an unpleasant thing, she grew up in a cold palace and knew that people's hearts were more dangerous than anyone else. She could grow up so safely and was also by the emperor. Pay attention to it. Now when you come to Canglan to make peace, it's not stupid. Miss, don't be deceived by her.
Mu Qingya's cold eyes were a little warm. Although the girl was straightforward, the care in her words made her feel very useful: "You have been following me for several years. Is your young lady so easy to deceive?"
"Isn't the maidservant afraid that the young lady will be too soft-hearted?" Leqi came forward to rub her shoulders. The young lady was cold on the surface, but her heart was softer than anyone else. Although she didn't show much, every time she saw the bloody and uncomfortable appearance that she couldn't swallow, she looked distressed.
Mu Qingya patted her hand funnyly: "You don't have to worry too much. I have a feeling that Duanmu Mingli will not be against me. She grew up in the palace and is used to the coldness of human feelings, so she better understand that once something is done, it will be difficult to recover. She is tough and extremely independent. She will definitely not do it. If it's not harmful to others, Duan Mulingyu will not send her to make peace. Although she doesn't know what her purpose is, there is no harm to us. Of course, you must be defensive. You send more people to see her for a while.
"Yes, miss."
The next day, Mu Qingya had not sent anyone to invite Duanmu Mingli, but she arrived at Jingningxuan first.
"Qingya has met the princess."
"Quickly avoid gifts." Duanmu Mingli came forward and helped Mu Qingya up affectionately. Seeing that her elegant dress was still bright and touching, she had a few more envy in her heart, but she quickly suppressed her.
"Qingya, do you know what happened last night?"
"Of course I heard about it."
Dangmu Mingli smiled, and a smile rose in her eyes: "Canglan has been staring at me. Now it's all right. Let's see how they dare to toss around."
"Does the princess know the specific situation?"
"Didn't you say that the North County was affected by the drought and the people were displaced?
Mu Qingya shook her head slightly: "The princess only doesn't know the second. There was a big drought in Beijun, but this is not the most important thing. The drought is rampant, and the people can't sow at all. They could have relied on cattle and sheep to survive, but in winter followed the drought, even the turf on the ground was eaten clean by cattle and sheep, so a large number of cattle and sheep Being starved to death, the people had nothing to eat. I'm afraid that kind of scene is not much better than hell. There is no place for people to bury their bones, which then triggered a plague... I think the princess can imagine what kind of situation it is.
Duanmu Mingli's face turned pale, and most of the joy in her heart disappeared. When she heard about this before, she only wanted to watch it. She didn't expect that the situation would develop so seriously. Now, when she heard Mu Qingya, she realized that the people of Bei County must be a piece of water now. Deep fire.
"Qingya, what do you want to do?"
Duanmu Mingli suddenly knew that Mu Qingya had a prescription to prevent the plague, which she used when the plague broke out in the south of the Yangtze River, but she contributed the prescription, and Canglan will soon recover. At that time, it will be a great threat to Yuhan. If she doesn't take it out, she won't know who lost her life. How many people will there be?
Mu Qingya looked up at Duanmu Mingli: "I think Princess Mingli also thought that I do have a prescription to cure the plague."
"So you decided to take it out?" Duanmu Mingli's heart was tense. She knew that Mu Qingya had always put the people first, but if she really took out the prescription, she felt that it would be difficult to accept it. After all, it was the people who died in Canglan, not Yuhan!
Mu Qingya smiled and said, "This prescription is to be taken, but not now!"
Duanmu Mingli's eyes lit up: "Qingya, I knew you would take care of the whole situation."
Mu Qingya smiled and said, "Mo Junyu was also clear about Jiangnan at the beginning. He must know that there was a prescription in his hand. Even if I don't hand it in, he will let Mo Ao force me, so this matter will bother the princess."
"What can I do, just say it."
"At this time, the emperor has also finished the discussion, and the princes have also come out. The princess is not willing to find the prince. I think he is very happy to hear about the prescription."
Duanmu Mingli was puzzled: "Qingya, do you want to send the prescription through the prince's hand?"
"Naturally, it won't be handed over so easily. Hasn't the prince always protected the Situ family? I don't know which is more important than the Situ family and the lives of thousands of people!"
"Ha ha, this is indeed a good way. Didn't Situ Yanran think that her life was more expensive than my Yuhan county chief? Then take a closer look at who laughed to the end. With this prescription, we stand on the peak, and Situ Yanran will definitely not be able to escape!"
Mu Qingya smiled and said, "Princess, Situ Yanran is just a woman. Even some means are not enough. Situ Canglin is the most difficult to deal with. He is the three generations of gods of war and has a high prestige in the army. Two-thirds of the generals of the Canglan army have been Situ Canglin's personal soldiers. It can be said that in the army, even Mo Ao doesn't have his high status.
"Is that so?"
"Well, so we don't need to do anything. We just need to make Mo Ao aware of this. Sometimes the king's suspicion is the best killing weapon!" Mu Qingya's eyes turned cold. No king would allow a person whose prestige surpasses him to live well. How could he allow others to snoo on the side of the couch? Mo Ao would never allow the Situ family to be so rampant!
"I understand, Qingya, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter. I'll prepare first, prepare, and deliver a greeting to His Royal Highness in the afternoon.
"Princess, Your Highness will go to the Queen's Palace every day to pass by the Royal Garden. The princess doesn't have to visit the prince in person. The things she wants to send to her door are not as precious as those she competes for.
Duanmu Mingli smiled and said, "Well, the elegant fruit is really smart. Even ten of them are so thoughtful. When I first arrived, it's time to go to the Royal Garden to have a good look."
