Both Chen Qing and He Lanzong were defeated generals. After returning to Longdu, they did not immediately seek refuge with Dushanbo. Instead, Dushanbo took the initiative to win them over. For Dushanbo, those people who were begging for mercy made him look down on, and such as
Generals like He Lanzong and Chen Qing who were killed in bloody battles were able to catch his eye.
After the two people exited Uncle Dushan's Mansion, they looked at each other and nodded.
On the way to respond, He Lanzong suddenly grabbed Chen Qing and said, "Tomorrow, I will do something big."
"What's the big deal?"
"Don't worry about it. This matter of mine will lead to death, so don't go to court tomorrow, otherwise it will involve you."
Chen Qing immediately shouted with red eyes: "What on earth are you going to do? You and I, brothers, have been through life and death, can't you tell me? Are you afraid that I will betray you?"
He Lanzong hissed and said, "I can tell you, but you don't know what to do. Tomorrow you claim to be ill and don't go to court. If you promise me, I will tell you."
Chen Qingdao: "Speak first."
"Promise me first."
Chen Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you."
He Lanzong then said: "I want to seek justice for the 3,700 brothers!" His eyes were filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He Murong Yan used the lives of my 3,700 Qinglong Army soldiers in exchange for the two wolves.
As a gatekeeper, I can't let him live so freely."
Chen Qing was shocked: "You want to impeach Marquis Yingchuan?"
"Yes, I want to impeach Marquis Yingchuan in front of all civil and military officials."
"Do you know the relationship between Marquis Yingchuan and Uncle Du Shan? In the past, when Marquis Yingchuan served as a front warrior in Longdu, Uncle Du Shan was the general in front of the palace, and Murong Yan was an old subordinate of Uncle Du Shan. The Duke of Du Shan stationed troops for ten
Fifty thousand men were stationed in
During the two wolf passes, it was Marquis Yingchuan who was communicating and assisting, coordinating food and fodder! What are your chances of winning in impeaching Marquis Yingchuan at this time? How much evidence is there? Do you know that Nadu Shanbo might have killed Murong Yan in order to save him?
You!"
He Lanzong said solemnly: "I have no chance of winning. I may die here, so I asked you to report your illness tomorrow. If I die, you will rebuild the Qinglong Army in the future. But if we all die, who will rebuild the Qinglong Army?"
Chen Qing said angrily: "Can't you rebuild with me?"
He Lanzong said calmly: "If I don't do some things or say some things, I will die! I will make myself angry to death and suffocate myself to death. Do you know why I can inherit the title and be a happy prince?
, but are you willing to join the military camp? Because I can say anything in the military camp, and I don’t have to play with a group of young men from the major noble clans in Longdu City all day long, and I don’t have to scheming with them."
"But you are not like this. If you do this, it will be an egg against a stone. Not to mention impeaching you as a small military commander, even if you are a high-ranking civil and military official in the Manchu Dynasty, you cannot impeach him, Marquis Yingchuan." Chen Qing advised.
, "The Marquis of Yingchuan is the founding hero of the country. He has been passed down for many generations. How could he fall because of your impeachment? But if it fails, you will be retaliated against! Don't say you are just a marquis, you are a county king.
Even the emperor cannot protect you."
He Lanzong patted the horse's neck and said resolutely: "I have made up my mind. I must seek justice for those 3,700 people. Even if I die, it doesn't matter."
The two returned to the military camp, and Chen Qing could no longer stop him, so he had to say: "What are your wishes? If you are really punished in court, I can fulfill it for you." This was asking him to write a suicide note. As a good friend of He Lanzong,
, Chen Qing can only help him so far.
He Lanzong thought for a while and said: "I don't have any wishes, but I do have some suggestions. Zhang Xiaowu is both civil and military. Although he is still young and comes from a commoner, he has a broad mind. If he enters the court the next day, he will definitely do something great.
You can defect to him and use him to eradicate the evil traitors in the court and restore the prestige of our Holy Han Dynasty."
"Xie Cheng... is he Du Shanbo?"
He Lanzong said slowly: "Du Shanbo, Zhang Kuan, Wang Cheng, these people are all evil sycophants. They either form cliques for personal gain, bully the young master, or are selfish. None of them have the country at heart. These people should all
kill!"
"Anyone who violates the eight epidemic prevention measures in Saibei will be killed immediately! The first policy is to bring those suffering from the plague into the epidemic village; the second policy is for soldiers and civilians to eat raw water and food; the third policy is to pave the road with lime or grass ash; the fourth policy is to pave the road with lime or grass ash;
, the whole city's soldiers and civilians wear masks; the fifth policy, the government regulates doctors and medicines to treat the plague; the sixth policy, the common people and soldiers are banned from home; the seventh policy, the government distributes food; the eighth policy, the entire city's army
Guan. These are the eight policies of Mucheng. Anyone who violates the above will be killed without mercy and beheaded. When it was implemented last year, two people violated the order and were buried alive. After that, twenty-three people disobeyed the order and were all killed.
.After that, no one dared to disobey the order. Although the plague occurred in the north of Saibei, more than ten people were killed by the plague in Mucheng. By the time our Qinglong soldiers left Mucheng in February, the plague had completely disappeared."
He Lanzong's voice was very gentle, but it aroused discussions among the officials in the hall.
The Eight Strategies of Mucheng sounded unremarkable, but when executed, they were vigorous and resolute, and the results were so remarkable. It immediately made the officials of Longdu City, who were deeply troubled by the horror of the plague, feel that there was hope. Thirty years ago, there was a great plague in Longdu City.
Let many people be afraid of the plague
The talk has turned so ugly that now that the plague is moving from the north to the south, both the people and officials in Longdu City are so scared that they want to escape. When people are panicked, in fact, no matter what they do, even wrong policies can have an effect.
Calming effect.
Prime Minister Zuo Zhang Kuan asked: "Is Mucheng strictly enforcing it?"
Helan Zongdao: "Yes, it will be strictly enforced. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."
"How many people were killed?"
"More than twenty, there will be no more disobedients from now on."
"How many people are there in Mucheng?"
"Forty thousand soldiers and civilians."
"Forty thousand people killed more than 20 people, which is indeed not much, and the shock effect is acceptable." Zhang Kuan said, he would not easily veto the eight anti-epidemic measures just because the Helan Sect was recommended by Du Shanbo. After all, this is the only way to fight the plague today.
way.
Du Shanbo came out and said: "Your Majesty, if these eight strategies were implemented earlier, the plague would have been eliminated earlier."
Emperor Dade asked: "Official officials, do you have any other questions?"
However, the right minister Wang Cheng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the eight epidemic prevention strategies are good, some of them are difficult to implement in the capital." Wang Cheng has been the right minister for five years and is over 70 years old.
He was past the age of fighting for power with Zhang Kuan, Ye Xiangdong and others. Compared to them, Wang Cheng was more willing to do something for the empire, so although Wang Cheng sometimes pretended to be confused, when he didn't pretend to be confused, everyone respected him very much.
he.
Emperor Dade also quickly asked: "Right Prime Minister, why do you say this?"
