The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 259: It’s hard to ride a tiger

Chapter 259

The Empress Dowager was particularly distressed when she heard this, "The Duke of Jin, it's true, but if you want to burn down the village, you will burn hundreds of lives in Shitou Village, some of them are innocent. Not sick."

The Duke of Jin suddenly said: "Empress Dowager, no one wants to burn so many lives, but what is the way? Up to now, neither the imperial doctor nor the Huimin Bureau can think of a way to deal with it. The epidemic, the people have already speculated that this is not an epidemic at all, but ghosts and ghosts, and that God wants to punish Da Zhou. Once these rumors spread around, it will definitely lead to chaos among the people. , scourge my big Zhou Jiangshan, then the Murong family's Jiangshan will really be in jeopardy."

Master Liang pondered for a while, and then came out: "The Empress Dowager, this minister agrees with Duke Jin's statement, this matter can't be delayed any longer, and I don't know what the consequences will be. There won't be a rush over there."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "Taifu is alarmist, Bei Mo and I, Da Zhou, signed a peace treaty."

Master Liang said: "Empress Dowager, how many monarchs have torn up agreements throughout the ages? I'm afraid you can't count them. I am a big week with beautiful rivers and mountains, fertile fields and high mountains. Now, if there is a civil strife in my week due to the epidemic, it is a good time for them to invade, how can they still care about making a peace or not?"

Master Cui said: "It's not unreasonable what Taifu said, but burning down the village is always not a good way. This involves too many lives, and if Shitou Village is burned down, what about the soldiers in the army? What about the people on Northwest Street? Will they all be burned together?"

The master pondered for a while, "If there is really no way, we have to do it as a last resort. It is better than the spread of the epidemic."

The Taifu party came out one after another, "I implore the empress dowager and the prince to issue a decree to burn the stone village and curb the spread of the epidemic."

As soon as I knelt down, I knelt down one-third of the ministers, forming a coercive force.

Murong Jie indifferently looked at the black head below, and there was a storm in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao said coldly: "Taifu's sentence is a last resort, it's really chilling, but I don't know if the Taifu is infected with an epidemic, and others say that they will burn you, how do you feel?" /

Master Fu Zhengyi said solemnly: "If this official is infected with the epidemic, it will hurt other people, then this official will ask to be burned to death, and also save himself from staying in the world and harming others."

Xiao Xiao said: "Isn't that what happened to Taifu? Once it happens, I'm afraid Taifu won't say so."

The master looked at Xiao Xiao, "General Xiao's words really disappointed the old man, you are the general of the court and the minister of the humerus, but you say such selfish words, if everyone in Da Zhou is like you and only cares about security My own life, I lost my country early in the morning."

Xiao Xiao sneered, "What Taifu means is that Dazhou can have today's stability and prosperity, not because of the defense line built by frontier soldiers with blood, but because of people who have such thoughts as Taifu?"

The Empress Dowager heard that the two were about to quarrel, so she could not help frowning and asked, "Jie, what's your opinion?"

She is a woman's benevolence, and these national affairs still have to listen to his opinions.

Murong Jie looked at Prime Minister Xia, "What does the Prime Minister think?"

Prime Minister Xia didn't seem to think that Murong Jie would suddenly ask him, he hesitated, "Chen, I think that burning the village is not an effective move."

"Then what is an effective move?" Murong Jie asked again.

Prime Minister Xia said: "I think that only finding a way to curb the epidemic is a good policy."

The Duke of Jin sneered, "Who wouldn't say what the Prime Minister said? But neither the Imperial Physician nor the Huimin Office has a good recipe, no, don't say a good recipe, not even the name of the epidemic comes from nowhere. I know, there are rumors among the people that your daughter Xia Zian knows how to treat this kind of epidemic, but I also heard that Master Xiang protects his daughter and is reluctant to let her go to the epidemic area."

Prime Minister Xia was stunned for a moment, and said very unnaturally: "Who did you listen to? Nothing, the little girl is just a girl, how can she know any medical skills?"

The Duke of Jin snorted: "Prime Minister Xia, don't be humble, Xia Zian cured Prince Liang's epilepsy, and even the prince's serious injuries were cured in just a few days. This is not enough to prove that she is skilled in medicine. ?"

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed when she heard the words, and looked at Prime Minister Xia, "Aiqing, does Zi'an really know how to treat this kind of disease?"

Prime Minister Xia hesitated for a moment, "When returning to the Empress Dowager, she did say that she was somewhat sure, but she was only somewhat sure, not quite sure."

"Really? Did she really say that?" the Queen Mother asked excitedly.

Prime Minister Xia nodded, "Yes."

Mr. Liang said, "Prime Minister, this is not the time to make meritorious deeds. Don't talk nonsense."

When Prime Minister Xia heard this, his face flushed with anger, "What does Taifu mean? Is this prime minister the kind of person who seeks meritorious deeds in the face of national disasters?"

The Duke of Jin immediately said: "Although people outside say that Xia Zi'an knows how to cure the disease, but this marquis doesn't believe it. If Xia Zi'an knew how to cure the disease, he would have come out long ago, so why wait until now? Preventing the prime minister from making meritorious deeds, however, this matter is no trivial matter. You blindly gave everyone hope, and also made the empress dowager and the prince make wrong judgments. Once the epidemic spreads greatly, you, Prime Minister Xia, will have a hundred heads. Not enough."

Xia Chengxiang was trembling with anger, "Don't bully others too much, the Duke of Jin, the Prime Minister will issue a military order for the little girl here, and if the little girl cannot develop a good remedy for the epidemic within half a month, I will offer the little girl's head. "

Prince Li remained silent, but when he heard Prime Minister Xia's words, he could not help frowning, "You issued a military order for Xia Zi'an, but you want to engrave Xia Zi'an's head? This is out of order, The leader of this military order has to replace the three words Xia Zian with Xia Huaijun to be in line with the rules."

Xia Chengxiang's complexion suddenly changed.

Murong Jie looked at the prince who was standing on the side lightly, "Prince, also tell me your opinion."

The prince has always played the role of an idler, and he didn't pay much attention to today's affairs. He was still thinking about the affairs of the Hu family. Since Xia Wan'er's affairs happened, he went to invite Hu Huanxi yesterday, but he was rejected. She was so angry, but she knew it was all Xia Wan'er's fault.

So, when I heard Murong Jie's question, I suddenly remembered the Taifu's order, and said, "This palace thinks that if a military order is to be issued, then Xia Zi'an's head and the top of Prime Minister Xia's head will be used to establish it. Fair."

Prime Minister Xia raised his head and looked at the prince, his eyes were very complicated.

The empress dowager said unhappily, "It's just that Zi'an is going to be treated, so what kind of military order is there?"

Taifu said: "Empress Dowager, in fact, it is better to issue a military order. At least, Xia Zian can spare no effort to develop a good recipe. If there is no pressure, she may not do her best."

The Empress Dowager looked at Murong Jie again, "What do you think?"

Murong Jie hasn't expressed much opinion today, and his expression is also very cold, as if the things discussed today have nothing to do with him.

But, in fact, everyone knows that he is now riding a tiger, and if the epidemic is not contained, it will really cause a riot.

So, for Murong Jie, burning the village is a good thing.
