Xu Muqing continued, "There is also how to feed the victims after the disaster. It is best to start planting fruits and vegetables with shorter maturity periods, such as sweet potatoes, radishes, and various green vegetables. These are easier to harvest. They are faster than rice and soybeans. Fill your stomach first, and then take your time later."

All she could think of was this, and the rest was not something she could worry about. "That's all I could think of. Of course, many of them were one-sided immature thoughts. If the emperor thought something was bad, it would be okay to just laugh it off."

Xiao Linye said to her seriously, "Your suggestions are very pertinent, especially post-disaster disinfection to prevent the spread of diseases. Many people would never imagine. Mu Qing, thank you for sharing the burden for me."

She looked at him with a smile, "Because I don't want to see you tired, if I can help you, I'm extremely happy."

After breakfast, Xiao Linye had no time to accompany her and went to deal with disaster relief.

This time they adopted a gentle approach. In order to get a good ranking, the nobles willingly took out silver and grain. The merchants and wealthy people also generously bought tickets for the scientific examination, and everything was going as they expected.

Before a large number of refugees flocked to the capital, Xiao Linye also asked the officials below to take various defensive measures in advance, set up sheds for shelter outside the city to settle the refugees first, and spread porridge outside the city so that the refugees would not starve to death in the capital, causing greater unrest.

After the heavy rain stopped completely, Xiao Linye's subordinates had raised a lot of silver and grain, and were continuously transported to more than 20 prefectures and counties in the south, mixed with sand. Because of the bad quality, they were not sold at high prices by those who were in charge on the way.

The disaster gradually stabilized.

At the same time, Xiao Linye issued a notice that the refugees who were willing to return to their hometown would provide all the money and give them an additional five taels of silver each, providing food to eat on the road. After returning to their hometown, the court would provide seedlings and seeds of crops and vegetables, so that they could set up their home again.

The food for disaster relief in the imperial court will continue to be delivered to various prefectures and counties and to the hands of every refugee. Before the new grain harvest, they can ensure that they live well and will not starve to death.

The displaced people saw hope again and went to designated places to receive food and silver. In order to prevent too many people from receiving them, Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing also came up with special solutions. Those who received them used special red pigments to press their handprints to ensure that they could not be washed away within ten days and half a month, and prevent waste.

After more than a month of struggle, the victims who flocked to the capital finally left one after another. After the flood receded, the victims who had not yet taken out continued to clean their homes, picked up the items they could use and continued to use them, and rebuild their homes.

The court was fed up with medicinal materials and issued a decree to allow local officials of affected prefectures and counties to disinfect with lime water, and distribute the herbs to boil medicine juice for the victims to bathe and disinfect them in an orderly manner.

The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry have also found ways to spread the seeds and seedlings of the grain that the people need in batches, allowing the affected farmers to plant crops and vegetables, and strive to harvest grain within two or three months to prepare for winter.

Just as the reconstruction work was proceeding in an orderly manner, what was most worried about in the affected areas happened in the event of Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing.

After the flood receded, large-scale plagues and cholera broke out in almost all prefectures and counties. Many people who finally escaped the flood and did not starve to death during the floods, became infected with diseases, had high fever, rashes all over their bodies, and were tortured by pain.

In just less than a month, tens of thousands of people died in more than 20 prefectures and counties. The entire southern region was panicked, and the wealthy families who were afraid again found ways to escape to the north.

The memorial for help flew to the capital like snowflakes and fell into Xiao Linye's hands.

Looking at the condition described by local officials in detail, Xiao Linye frowned so hard that he could almost kill flies. Plagues were rampant and cholera occurred. In the end, they could not escape this disaster. They had obviously taken control carefully, but God still refused to pity the people.

Xiao Linye summoned the ministers again and asked carefully about the solutions. However, those ministers were used to being arrogant and fighting for power and power in their daily lives. If they really needed to do practical things, they would become turtles. You pushed me and I pushed you, which made him angry.

"Aren't you very powerful? Why can't you think of any solution? With the salary from the court, there is no solution. What's the use of asking you?" Xiao Linye was so angry that he cursed.

The ministers who always like to refute his opinions wanted to lower their heads and find a hole to crawl in.

In the end, King Chen stood up and proposed a solution rationally, "Your Majesty, don't think about how to control the plague and cholera no longer occur, but make sure to separate the sick people and don't pass those terrible diseases to healthy people."

"If those who are infected can find a cure and control the condition of those patients, it will be even better. If they cannot find a cure, they can only depend on the will of God and see them die on their own."

Xiao Chen's words made Xiao Linye's anger slightly dissipated, "Uncle, plague and cholera are terrible diseases, so how can we find a cure so easily? Let's pass on the order first, so that people infected with the disease can be separated from healthy people. The patients should be isolated and find a way to let the imperial doctors get an antidote to relieve the disease."

"Your Highness, it's not enough to rely on the imperial doctor alone. The imperial doctors in the palace have to die in a few dozen people. Your Highness might as well send out the entire doctors guarding the area to study the condition and gather ideas. If there are too many people, it will be easy to succeed."

The remaining ministers seemed to have regained their strength, their eyes lit up, and an excited light emerged, "Master, why not let the Queen try it? Queen is a miraculous doctor. She can't even bother with the Queen. Perhaps with the Queen here, I will soon be able to find out the medicine to control the plague and cholera?"

The ministers with ulterior motives added in their hearts that even if the medicinal materials needed cannot be refined, if the queen can die of plague and cholera, it will be harmless to them. They just happened to find a way to make the girls at home please the emperor and go directly to the palace to be concubines. If their luck is good enough, they can still be queens.

Xiao Linye stared at the minister who said this with a sharp and cold look. "Mr. Zheng is the most vivid and known as the old fox. What should the queen do? Does she have to go through your permission? What kind of conspiracy do you have to refine plague and cholera medicine?"

The minister named Zheng Qian felt the anger and murderous aura emitted from the emperor's body, and immediately explained, "Emperor, I just think that the queen's medical skills are much better than those imperial doctors in the palace. If the empress comes forward, she will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Other ministers also agreed and even brought a high hat to Xiao Linye. They said that since the queen has mastered her medical skills and the country has encountered such a disaster, it is time for the queen to stand up and contribute everything she can do, so that the people of the entire Liang State can feel the emperor and the queen's concern for their people.

"Emperor, Empress is the mother of a country, and she is in the world. Now more than 20 prefectures and counties in the south are rampant. Empress happens to be a miracle doctor with excellent medical skills. She really wants to set an example, otherwise wouldn't it be a heartbreaking of all the people? Millions of people who were affected are waiting for the rescue of the court. They cannot disappoint them in the entire country, the emperor and the queen."

It was very clear, but Xiao Linye knew better than anyone else that these treacherous ministers, under his deliberate suppression, dared not make things difficult for him or her to frame Mu Qing in the past two years, but they still had no selfishness and were unwilling to let the whole harem have only the queen and no other concubines. They could not see any hope at all if they wanted to take the lead, so they still did not give up. At this moment, they finally seized a rare opportunity. If the queen could take the opportunity to die in this disaster, they would have hope again and would not have to bear the emperor's anger.

Xiao Linye said calmly, "If you insist on the queen studying and refining medicines to control plague and cholera, it is not impossible. You have all brought out the empress's mother to the world. If you don't do things for the people, the culprit will be the culprit. What if I don't agree? However, since the queen has to stand up, should the ladies and families in the entire capital be effective and contribute their own strength to the people of more than 20 states and counties in the south?"

When the ministers heard the emperor's tone, they suddenly felt that it was not good. The emperor must have come up with some ideas to torture them or their families?

However, they proposed the idea of ​​asking the emperor to study medicine and refining medicine, and even if they were too late to remedy it at this time.

Xiao Linye did not give them any chance either. "The queen is certainly fine. Since she is the queen, she should bear her responsibilities. Of course, the medicine she refined must be effective. It is better to start with the family of Master Zheng, Lord Liu, Lord Ming, and Lord Sun. The wives of all the wives of the family are all the noble ladies, and the old ladies in the family are also very wise. You should not feel wronged or embarrassed when trying medicine for the victims, right?"

The young and domineering emperor said to the eunuch who was working around him, "Eunuch Li, write down the names of the more than a dozen ministers here in order, and then test the medicines one by one to their mansion, so that the wife and the old lady remember to test the medicines for the victims, which can be regarded as fulfilling the sincere hearts of all the ministers and ministers."

The nobles who originally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Xu Muqing were shocked. They couldn't believe that the emperor would come up with some tricks in such a short time, and they were completely in a bad mood.

"Your Majesty, you must not. It's three parts poisonous. How can you make the weak and elderly mother try the medicine? What if you drink something, wouldn't it be a matter of life?"

Xiao Linye directly blocked their mouths with their words, "Contributing a strength to the victims is what the wife of the imperial decree and the old monarchs should do. Since the queen has surrendered to refine medicine, will the family of all the wise men be willing to sit at home? That's all."

The ministers' faces were as if they had swallowed flies, their faces turned pale, and they were all disgraced. However, they took the initiative to raise the topic, and even if they regretted it, it would be useless.

As he wished, Xiao Chen saw the ugly faces of the ministers, and he was not afraid to offend others. He said, "You guys are really touching to remember that the victims in the south are really touching. It is also a great feat for the ladies to try medicines. As for the nobles, the daughters of nobles naturally cannot be idle. The emperor, the queen has a suggestion, it is better to let the nobles go into the mountains to collect medicine and give them to the queen to refine medicine. Maybe they will be able to refine medicines to cure plague and cholera soon?"

Xiao Linye immediately made the final decision in front of the ministers, "King Chen cares about the people, I am very pleased. Then I will ask someone to issue a notice that all the noble ladies in the capital will go into the mountains to collect herbs. What medicine should be collected? Let the queen decide at that time. Lord Zheng, Lord Liu, you are the heroes of the entire Liang State. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come up with such a good idea. By the way, donate to continue, and save the people of more than 20 states and counties in the south from the fire and water."

"There is no other important thing during this period. We will go back to deal with our respective work and strive to get the people in the affected areas out of the sea of ​​suffering and restore normal life as soon as possible. We will retreat to the court."

The young, handsome and courageous emperor left with the eunuch. Before he could walk away, he heard the news that the ministers who proposed to let the queen study and refine medicine to control the plague were scolded by other ministers and even fought directly in Zichen Hall.

"Mr. Zheng, Lord Zhang, you have a good idea. Now all the female family members of the ministers are either tested for medicine or forced to go to the mountains to collect herbs. Are you satisfied with this result? If my mother and wife have any mistakes, can you afford it? You can't let it go, and you want to rely on improper and opportunistic means to harm others? Why do you implicate us?"

A minister asked angrily, his fists clattering.

"Master Zhou, listen to my explanation. I didn't expect that the emperor would ask the noble ladies to try medicine and let the noble ladies from famous families go into the mountains to pick herbs. Don't be angry." Master Zheng had a flattering smile on his face, and his whole smile was almost stiff, and he explained carefully.

However, no one was willing to listen to him quibbling at this time. Many ministers fists went up directly, and soon the sarcastic and painful wailing sounded, just like killing a pig.

The Zichen Hall evolved into a large-scale fight scene, and the more exciting the scene was, the more exciting it was.

At Xiao Linye's instructions, the eunuchs did not rush forward, and the ministers who were the first to make things difficult for the queen were pressed to the ground and their noses were blue and swollen, making painful and violent screams.

It was not until the ministers who were acting in trouble were almost killed that the guards and eunuchs guarding outside the door rushed in and pulled away most of the angry ministers so that they could not let anyone die.

Xiao Chen looked at him coldly, and then he was a little sarcastic, and a cold voice sounded, "Why mention the Queen? Don't you know that the Queen is the emperor's bottom line? You have made a plan and want the Queen to refine medicine to control plague and cholera. In the next moment, will you force the Queen to go to the most severely affected prefectures and counties to investigate plague and cholera? It would be strange if the Emperor didn't hate you."

Being a nobleman is used to being a nobleman, he is used to having food and opening his mouth and reaching out his hands, and being held and coaxed by others. The days of calling the wind and rain have been too long. Have you forgotten how this young and iron-blooded emperor defeated many adult princes of the late emperor, avoided the insects brought by the collusion between King Rui and the Kingdom of Nanyue, and ascended the throne without any effort?

Lord Zheng and Lord Sun and other top nobles had strong regrets on their faces, and they wanted to slap themselves two loudly in the face. Why can't they get along with the emperor? Now, not only can't make up for the plan, but they also shot themselves in the foot.

"Don't try to provoke the emperor's bottom line. The queen is the emperor's weakness. If you offend the queen, the emperor will make your life wonderful in the future. You can do it yourself."

After Xiao Chen threw down this sentence, he turned around and left the door of Zichen Palace.

There were friends around him who had the same long-term vision as his, looking at him with a funny look, "Why would you remind those idiots that it would be better to let them drill into the grave by themselves? Tell me what they did. They thought the nobles of aristocrats were so great. They had changed a long time ago, and they were thrusting their heads and bleeding. Wouldn't it be good to send themselves into the grave?"

Xiao Chen said with disgust, "I can't see others bleeding. The smell of blood makes me feel so dirty and disgusting. What can I do if I don't mention them? I also have a headache when they fight. I don't want such things to happen in the future."

The friend's mouth twitched and said to him helplessly, "You are still picky and difficult as always, and I don't know how the princess can tolerate you."

A gentle light appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes. His voice was very light and so low that he could almost pinch the water. "It's better that she doesn't bother me. How can I bear me? I dare not be arrogant in front of her, otherwise she wouldn't let me enter her room or let the children play with me."

My friend couldn't help laughing.

On the other hand, Xiao Linye retreated and went to the imperial study to handle some government affairs. At noon, he finally returned to Fengluan Palace and had lunch with his wife and his children.

Xu Muqing looked at the gloomy aura surging between his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Is anyone making you angry? Why is her face so ugly?"

Xiao Linye immediately swallowed his anger and sorrow, "Pengle, peace and you can have a good meal so that you can grow taller. Do you know? Come on, Father, feed you."

Xu Muqing immediately understood that he could not say these things in front of the children. Her face also became gentle. She fed the children with her husband and played with them for a while until the two children happily had enough food and were carried down by the palace maid.

"Is there no way to solve the plague and cholera, so I look so worried?" She asked Xiao Linye with concern.

While Xiao Linye was eating with a bowl, a deep sorrow surged between his eyebrows. "Those nobles who are highly regarded and self-righteous, I really want to send them all back to retire. It's so annoying. When encountering serious things, I always don't want to deal with them and solve them. At this time, I always think about how to cheat people and harm people. I really want God to hit them to death with a thunder. It's so annoying."

Xu Muqing picked up the dishes he liked into the bowl with clean chopsticks and said gently, "It's just mediocre and nameless people who don't have any real skills and always want to live by the halo of their ancestors. You don't have to be angry with them. You eat well and ignore them."

Xiao Linye looked at his wife's delicate and bright face and his anger was wiped out. He ate the dishes he had in the bowl and filled his stomach.

"They actually said that they wanted you to find a way to study and refine medicines to cure plague and cholera, saying that you are a miracle doctor with great medical skills. Although these two diseases are terrible, since you are so powerful, there will definitely be a solution." The handsome and young emperor thought of the ugly faces of ministers from noble families, and he is so crazy that he wants to kill people.

Xu Muqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this, her tone was relaxed, not angry or afraid at all.

"You are angry because the ministers told me to find a way to get medicine to cure plague and cholera? Why didn't I see before that you were so angry? Husband, you don't have to take their words to heart. Even if they don't say anything, I'm willing to do it. But if it's something I don't want to do, no matter who it is, even if I hold a knife on my neck, I won't do it, they can't force me.

Xiao Linye thought of those who clearly wanted Xu Muqing to die, and his heart felt a strong sense of fear. When he thought of her as the possibility of being in danger, his heart tightly clamped together.

The young emperor actually showed rare fear and fear in front of his beloved wife. "But I don't want you to be in danger, especially plague and cholera. A little carelessness can take away people's lives."

"Mu Qing, I want you to be by my side for decades to come. I can't let you encounter any danger."

"Although I think I am very selfish, I just don't want you to be in danger. What does the life and death of those victims have to do with you? The food, seedlings, and silver for them to rebuild their homes is the limit I can do. I have sent people to distribute the disinfected lime water and the potions made with herbs. I have done my best. If they can survive this difficulty, it means they have a great life. If they can't survive it, it's God's will."

Xiao Linye's eyes were red and red bloodshot. He held Xu Muqing's hand tightly and issued a solemn confession to her, "Mu Qing, tell you the truth, in my heart, all the lives of all the victims are combined, and there is no one that is as important as you. They are dead or alive. After I can reach the limit, shouldn't the rest be relied on them?"

A warm current surged in Xu Muqing's heart, and she couldn't help but pat Xiao Linye's face, and a gentle voice sounded, "I understand your love for me, but I have the ability to protect my life and not let plague and cholera get involved with me. So even if I refine medicine for those victims and find a way to develop a curable antidote, I am willing to give it a try. Although it may not be successful, I can always remember to give it a try."

Xiao Linye was filled with anger. He said to Xu Muqing seriously, "You don't understand how sinister the ministers' intentions are. As long as I compromise one step, I can only compromise endlessly in the future. Do you understand?"

"Those self-righteous nobles and old ministers always feel that your status is not qualified. The Xu family is just a third-rate nobleman. They are far inferior to their top nobles. They have no ability and continue to live a pampering life with the merits of their ancestors. Seeing that I am unwilling to accept a concubine, they cannot send their daughter to the palace to exchange for wealth and glory. How can they swallow this? You are a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. They want you to die. Only when you die can you free up the position of queen and replace their daughter with the position."

After listening to Xiao Linye's analysis, Xu Muqing felt helpless, except for being shocked. "Why are they still unwilling to give up? I thought they were attracted to my medical skills and thought that my medical skills were powerful and could control plagues and cholera. Who would have thought about using such an idea, which was so heartbreaking. At this time, shouldn't they think about controlling those terrible diseases? They were still thinking about fighting for power and profit, and they didn't blush."

Xiao Linye's eyes were covered with a layer of cold frost, and his tone was even more sarcastic than before, "Because they were in a safe capital, as long as they firmly guarded all levels, those refugees would not be able to enter, and they would be safe. At worst, all the refugees in the south would die, and they would burn them away with a fire, and the disease would not spread. So they used the hat of being the queen of the mother's etiquette, or a powerful miracle doctor, and forced you to find a way to get medicine to cure plague and cholera."

"If you can't make it, their spits will still spray you to death, saying that your name is a miracle doctor, and you don't have real skills. Then, you incite the officials and people of the affected prefectures and counties to cause trouble, force me to depose you and let their daughters go to the palace to be concubines or queens."

"The vicious speculation is to force you to go to the most severe areas of cholera and plague, maliciously cause you to get infected with plague and cholera, and let you die in the south, and you will be killed in the south. At that time, they will push everything cleanly, just say that you are not lucky and your medical skills are not good. Then add a few good words to say something fake and arrange your funeral with a glorious arrangement. The remaining new queen will enter the palace, and they will have profits."

Xu Muqing was frightened and a fine cold sweat appeared on her back, "This is too vicious. I thought the past two years of calmness, they had accepted that the emperor and I were just like ordinary couples. Who would have thought that they would not give up."

Xiao Linye's fist clattered and said with hatred, "How could they give up if they can't get the benefits they want? If it was okay before, we both showed strong strength. Even if they wanted to send their daughter to the palace, they would go crazy and have no choice. But this cholera and plague are a great opportunity for them, and they will never let go of anything they say."

These nobles from aristocrats looked generous on the surface, but they were doing those dirty things, which made him disgusted.

Xu Muqing hugged Xiao Linye for a moment. After the shock in her heart passed, she quickly calmed down again and said gently, "Okay, don't be angry anymore. Since you have seen through their conspiracy, just don't follow the path they set. Besides, who said that I will die in the plague? I have been in the King of Hell for a long time, so they refused to accept me. I am so desperate. Don't be angry. Is it worth being angry for those greedy people? Don't be angry, don't you think?"

Xiao Linye thought of something and laughed at himself, "I'm so angry that I'm just saying so many things to you, but they're all resentful words. Sorry, I shouldn't have vented all these things with you, and it's just a waste of worrying and sadness, and thinking about it."

Xu Muqing glared at him coquettishly, "What are you saying? We are a couple who share weal and woe. We have such a good relationship. Of course, we have to face it together and solve it better together."

Xiao Linye thought of the scene where someone was beaten to the point of a blue nose and a snorted from his nose, and let out a snort, "So I said I promised the queen to develop new medicine, but let the wives and old mothers of the ministers try the medicine. Mu Qing, then you just need to make the most bitter and odorous medicine. I went to the homes of the ministers who were making trouble, and let people stare at their wives and mothers to drink it, which would make their homes chaotic and uneasy."

Finally, Xiao Linye said viciously, "Whoever doesn't let me live a good life, I will never let him live a good life. Those who are not afraid of death can continue to provoke my bottom line and continue to take you seriously and see who can beat him."

Xu Muqing burst out laughing, "Your move is so clever. Those ministers will not have a good time in the future. As expected, greed and covetous things that do not belong to you will definitely not have a good end."

Seeing that she was not angry, Xiao Linye smiled happily, and the anger in his heart dissipated. "I will ask my subordinates to issue a decree later, so that all the noble girls can go into the mountains to collect medicine for you to make medicine. Whoever doesn't go will not care about the life or death of the victims, and slap their father and brother in the face. If anyone makes me unhappy, they won't think about it."
Chapter completed!
