Fengzhou.

Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan and his group had been here for three days. When they heard that there was a plague in Chang'an area, they decided to stay for the time being and wait until the plague was over before going to Chang'an.

The Tubo deputy envoy, Grobi, had an external identity as a diplomatic official under Lu Dongzan, but his real identity was the left general in front of the Tubo palace. His task was to examine the reality of the Tang army.

The Tang Dynasty was an open empire, with a large number of aliens living in many areas. Fengzhou was close to Tubo, and there were also many Tubo people living here.

Grobi easily learned about the military preparations of the Tang army in this area and found that the Tang army was extremely relaxed.

Compared with the surrounding countries, the Tang Dynasty was really a giant. In addition to having some headaches for the nations on the horses on the grassland, it has always ignored other countries.

The rise of Tubo has been happening in recent years. In the impression of the people of the Tang Dynasty, it was still a backward and divided barbaric land, and its defenses on this direction were not taken seriously at all.

After Lu Dongzan discussed with Grobi, he decided to test the attitude of the Tang Dynasty court again and suggested that Songtsen Gampo send troops to Tuyuhun when he went back.

The day after Li You left, Li Chengqian told Zhang Xuansu about the conversation between Li You and herself yesterday. Zhang Xuansu was very happy and said:

"Your Highness, this is a good opportunity to win over Your Highness, and I suggest you put some effort into this matter. When Your Highness, Your Highness, will be promoted, and there will be an additional person who will restrain the King of Shu and King Wei, which will be very beneficial to you."

Li Chengqian said: "My fifth brother has kindness to my mother and supports me in normal times. I am willing to contribute to this matter."

Zhang Xuansu said: "I suggest that Lord Changsun comes forward to propose this matter for you. Just tell Your Highness the King of Qi about this.

This is just my suggestion. Please discuss it with Lord Changsun and listen to his opinions.”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Okay, master." After that, he ordered the eunuch Gao Lian to ask him to invite Changsun Wuji to come over at noon.

At noon, Changsun Wuji came to the East Palace.

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Changsun Wuji felt that Li Chengqian had made progress and that he would have been more long-term in looking at the problem. He said:

"His Highness King Qi is a talented person, and it is a good thing for you to be able to get his help. He has no ambitions and is lazy and has a good relationship with you. You should take the initiative to make friends with him.

His Highness King Qi has made great achievements recently, and Your Majesty has long been trying to promote him. If you don’t mention it, other ministers will also mention this matter. You should rush to mention it in front of them.

You should mention this matter in public, so that everyone can see your relationship with His Highness King Qi, and let His Highness King Qi take your favor."

That night, the Zheng Hall was established.

Recently, Li Shimin has been concerned about Empress Changsun's body and has come over almost every night. When he heard that Li You came to treat her, he sighed:

"You'er is becoming more and more popular now. He is not only smart and capable, but also very filial. I'll tell you..."

He told Empress Changsun how Li You dealt with the drug dealers in Chang'an. Li You handled this matter very satisfactory to Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Empress Changsun was also deeply moved and said, "Last time I heard that You'er took the risk to save Li Ke, and the incident in front of me was very dangerous. If you were not careful, you would be impeached.

This child takes risks for the sake of the people and is kind and righteous."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's a bit strange to say that Guanyin maid. In the past, this child was a whole person. I wish he could go away from the distance and see him. Now I don't recognize him."

Empress Changsun said, "Erlang, I don't interfere in politics. You'er is your child. For his sake, I want to ask for grace for him.

Can you reward this child well?”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I had this idea for a long time, but this child himself was unwilling to receive the award."

Empress Changsun said, "Erlang, this matter is probably yours. That child will not take credit, but you must not give him rewards."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "You are right. Let's talk to Wuji and Chengqian, let them mention it in the court, and I'll just approve it."

"Thank you Erlang." Queen Changsun said.

...

Morning court, Tai Chi Hall.

In recent times, dealing with the plague has been the top priority of the court. Every morning court, Li Shimin first asked about the plague.

Li Shimin asked: "Prince, how is the plague going?"

Li Chengqian said: "Father, due to the proper isolation measures and timely distribution of drugs, the plague has been effectively controlled.

However, we have encountered new situations these days. For details, let the Imperial Hospital report it.”

Liu Quanzhong, the head of the Imperial Hospital, said: "Your Majesty, there is a special feature of this plague, which is the incubation period.

This incubation period means that after a person is infected with a plague, it will not occur for a while. The specific time of the attack depends on the patient's physical condition and the time of the onset is also different.

The isolation measures taken by the court can only isolate the people who are sick. Those who have been infected with the plague but have not yet had an attack cannot be controlled.

Once these people get sick, if they are not discovered in time, they will infect the surrounding people. Therefore, in recent days, the plague has spread again.

How to solve this problem, the Imperial Hospital has no choice but to do it for the time being."

Li Shimin asked: "Crown Prince, Fang Xuanling, what are you doing?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed and can't think of how to solve this matter for a moment. I have discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Thinking of it in the court, please think of a solution together."

Li Shimin asked: "My dear friends, who can solve this problem?"

"How can I solve this? I can't tell you when I haven't gotten sick. You can't catch people casually, right?" someone said.

"Yes, there are so many people, who knows who is the potential patient? How to prevent this?" someone said.

"It's okay to say in the city, but it's easier to isolate it when you find it. The people move freely between the mountains and fields outside the city. How can you prevent this?" someone said.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz", there were a lot of discussion in the hall.

Li Shimin stopped everyone's discussion and asked, "Who has any idea?"

Everyone looked at each other and said together: "I am incompetent, I am ashamed."

Li Ke and Li Tai had a lot of opinions about Li Shimin leaving the prevention and control of the plague to Li Chengqian. Now, seeing that Li Chengqian encountered difficulties, he was secretly happy and said to himself: "I told you to show off and want to make contributions, so I am stunned."

The two of them thought desperately, hoping that they could come up with a solution. However, they were exhausted and had no choice but to have a lot of brain cells. However, they believed that Li Chengqian would not have any solution.

But he knew that Li Chengqian had a magic weapon, and he said, "Father, my son has an idea."

Li Shimin was very happy and asked, "Speak quickly, what's the solution?"

Li Chengqian said: "My son suggested that he would leave this matter to King Qi to solve it."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but lit up.
