Liu Dehai came to the Ministry of War with an oral edict, and with just an imperial edict, he mobilized a small battalion of nearly two hundred people and rushed directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
And when passing by the Prime Minister's Mansion, I also saw Qian Ruoyu halfway.
When Qian Ruoyu saw that Liu Dehai had already secured someone, he naturally knew that he was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he directly followed the team to prepare to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to watch the excitement.
Not long after, Liu Dehai and Qian Ruoyu arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this time, Butler Liu just opened the door and saw a crowd of people outside.
He looked at the people in front of him in surprise and was speechless for a moment, but at the same time Liu Dehai said directly.
"Transmit His Majesty's oral instructions."
After suddenly hearing these words, Butler Liu quickly lowered his head and knelt down, but was interrupted by Liu Dehai.
"Let everyone in your Prime Minister's Mansion come out to receive the order!"
After hearing Liu Dehai's words, Butler Liu quickly ran in to inform everyone.
At this time, the Prime Minister Qian Hongyi was about to go out and had already put on his official uniform. After suddenly hearing the news, he naturally walked to the gate with his wife and children.
But just as he was about to walk forward, several soldiers pointed their spears at them, which shocked Qian Hongyi even more.
But Qian Hongyi did not completely lose his mind at this time, but said directly and seriously.
"I am the prime minister of the current dynasty. What do you mean by this? Do you want to rebel?"
But at this time Liu Dehai said calmly.
"According to His Majesty's oral instructions, Prime Minister Qian Hongyi and others must obey orders in the Prime Minister's Mansion and do not have to go out of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
After hearing this strange rule, although Qian Hongyi was puzzled, he had nothing to say at this time. Although he was the prime minister, he had no military power, let alone being able to compete with the emperor.
Therefore, he immediately lowered his head and knelt down directly towards Liu Dehai. At this time, Liu Dehai seemed to be the symbol of the emperor.
Seeing that Qian Hongyi had already knelt down, everyone else naturally knelt down one by one. Nearly a hundred people in the Prime Minister's Palace bowed their heads and knelt down.
"His Majesty has told you that someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion is suspected of having the plague, and people like the Prime Minister's Mansion may also be infected by this. In order to prevent the spread of the plague in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be completely sealed off from now on!"
"No one is allowed to enter or leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion can only be unsealed until the plague is lifted!"
After hearing what he said suddenly, Qian Hongyi was completely shocked, because Qian Hongyi never imagined that there would be a plague in his prime minister's palace.
After all, for him, although the plague is quite serious in the capital, he is still completely strict and disciplines his family members not to enter or leave again except for important trips on weekdays.
Therefore, he never thought that the plague would spread in his prime minister's palace.
At this time, the two hundred soldiers Liu Dehai brought along the walls of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with one person standing every few feet guarding the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
Suddenly seeing that his Prime Minister's Mansion was sealed, Qian Hongyi said even more unconvinced.
"Mr. Liu! Can you tell me who in the Prime Minister's house got the plague? And who told His Majesty about this?"
After hearing Qian Hongyi's tone, Liu Dehai immediately felt unhappy. Liu Dehai thought that at least he was Qian Hongyi who came on behalf of the emperor. He dared to question himself like this. He didn't take himself seriously.
Although he was indeed the prime minister of the dynasty, Liu Dehai was the chief manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this time.
Moreover, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been completely sealed off from the Prime Minister. It is still unknown when the Prime Minister's Mansion will be unsealed, let alone how much power the Prime Minister in the Prime Minister's Mansion has.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Dehai said coldly.
"Why, is it possible that you suspect that His Majesty is talking nonsense?"
After suddenly hearing this sentence, Qian Hongyi quickly shook his head and defended himself.
"No, no, no, Mr. Liu, you have misunderstood. I just want to know who told your majesty. Your majesty's decision is undoubtedly sage... but there is really no one who has the plague in my prime minister's house!
"
But just after he said this, his son, Qian Ruocheng, who was standing less than two feet behind him, started coughing.
"Ahem!"
"Cough cough cough!"
After suddenly hearing his son's cough, he quickly turned his head, while Mrs. Huang on the side quickly defended himself.
"Cheng'er just had a cold and cough recently. How could it be him!"
But just after she finished speaking, Qian Ruocheng coughed more and more violently, and his face was still a little red. The more he saw this, the more confused Qian Hongyi became.
After all, he had just questioned Liu Dehai, and now he found that his son had become like this.
Isn’t this a slap in the face?
It was precisely because of this that he asked more seriously.
"What the hell happened!"
"Shut up, Cheng'er, tell me yourself!"
Huang was asked to shut up, and Qian Ruocheng looked at his mother Huang with some horror at this time, wondering what he should do now.
But Qian Hongyi didn't intend to give him any time to defend himself. Instead, he continued directly.
"Cheng'er, please tell me now. I won't punish you. If I find out any truth, I will definitely punish you and ban you for a year!"
Being suddenly threatened by such a wave of threats, Qianlaodi didn't dare to say anything at this time, and quickly said to Qian Hongyi honestly.
"Dad...I...I went out to play in the morning..."
Just after he finished speaking, Qian Hongyi did not immediately look away from his face, but continued to question him.
"It's just the morning!"
After suddenly hearing this sentence, Qian Ruocheng was completely frightened, and then he immediately said it very honestly.
"I...well, I have been out these past few days! But...but I didn't go anywhere else. I just went out to play a few times, and I will be back soon...I..."
But after he finished speaking, Qian Hongyi immediately felt very helpless. He did not expect that even though he was strictly guarding against the disease, his son was still exposed to the risk of infection.
He quickly said to Liu Dehai.
"Mr. Liu, what should we do? Now my son may have contracted the plague. Otherwise, let the imperial doctors come over to help diagnose and treat him!"
Liu Dehai said very directly.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what you did makes me very embarrassed! The order I got was just to send people to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for sending an imperial doctor, there is nothing I can do!"
