Chapter 152 Questioning
"Kneel down." When Emperor Qinglong saw this, he still didn't understand anything, so he only said three words.

Concubine De was a little confused, but her son's legs softened and he knelt down.

"Your majestic prince, you are so short-sighted. Do you only want to remove the stumbling blocks? Have you thought about the entire Qingguo? Have you ever thought about the consequences once smallpox spreads in the palace?"

Emperor Qinglong's words were so light that the two people present seemed to have heard something incredible.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Concubine De couldn't help but panic when she heard the word "smallpox".

"Didn't you make the doll yourself? You also put the corners of old clothes on it. By the way, those are the clothes of people who died of smallpox." Emperor Qinglong's words were like thunder.

Concubine De threw the doll far away and collapsed on the ground.

After all, Concubine De, who is considered a smart person in the harem, has already connected the things. What is the purpose of teaching Concubine Xi a lesson? It is basically smallpox that makes people blush, not itchy powder.

Concubine De was shocked by her son's cruelty. Not to mention poisoning her own brother, she was his mother-in-law. What if something happened and she accidentally got infected while sewing.

The eldest prince was so frightened that he murmured to himself: "No, I heard from people in the restaurant that this is what he did. Just deal with the source then and it won't spread."

"Haha, I actually have such a stupid son. Can't you see that you are trapped in such a trap? Who dares to introduce smallpox on their own initiative? This is a serious crime that will lead to genocide. Doesn't a dignified prince have no brains? It's only been in the Qing Dynasty for so many years. , when have you ever heard that smallpox appears somewhere, and where do officials dare to conceal it and not report it? You can find a person who died of smallpox by such a coincidence. "

Emperor Qinglong's voice was calm, but looking at his tightly drawn fists, you could tell how angry he was at the moment.

"Come here, take the eldest prince down and lock him up first." Emperor Qinglong was disheartened that he had actually taught such a thing.

"Your Majesty, Chengyu didn't do it on purpose. He was still young and was led astray." Concubine De was also panicked. Although she was a little disappointed and sad for her son, the most important thing at the moment was to protect Chengyu.

"Li Sheng, ask someone to take Concubine De back to Jinmo Residence, and send someone to guard her. No one is allowed in or out." Emperor Qinglong's words shocked the two people kneeling below.

When Concubine De and the eldest prince were taken away, Emperor Qinglong did not move and only spoke softly. "Long Wei, what's the result?"

"Back to the emperor, according to the account of the eunuch next to the eldest prince, the old clothes were found in Yizhuang, a suburb of Beijing. His subordinates have sent people to trace it. The person who contacted the eunuch is not a local. According to the description of the people around him, this person cannot move here. The person has disappeared for a few days, but according to the traces of escape, he went north." A man in black appeared to report.

"North, North again."

On the second day, the Great Court Meeting.

Many civil and military officials were standing together, and they were probably thinking about the same thing.

The Imperial Forest Army, which was closely guarded by the imperial palace, slowly withdrew yesterday and returned to normal.What happened in the Palace of the Sun during those days?

As Eunuch Li Sheng said, "The Emperor has arrived," everyone saw Emperor Qinglong, dressed in black imperial formal attire, slowly walking to the high platform and sitting down, seemingly even more imposing than before.

"Some things have happened in the palace in the past few days, and they are shocking events."

Emperor Qinglong's words caused everyone standing there to look sideways, and they did not dare to look directly at the emperor, and they all seemed a little restless.

"Smallpox." As soon as these two words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed.

"But God has blessed me in Qingguo. My third and fourth sons are safe and no longer have any fear of smallpox."

For things like smallpox, everyone first knows that it is contagious and lethal, but they also know that once you recover from the disease, you will not be infected again for life.

"In this smallpox rebellion, not a single person died in the entire palace, not even every maid or eunuch. Master Yuanhai predicted that the prosperous age of the Qing Kingdom is coming!"

Emperor Qinglong's voice was calm, but these words made the civil and military ministers below him feel excited.

"Celebrating the prosperous times of the country, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." The civil and military ministers knelt down involuntarily, raised their arms and shouted.

Emperor Qinglong finished talking about the major events to be dealt with recently, and then added more manpower to the Ministry of Industry and the Department of Agricultural Affairs.Emperor Qinglong had a hunch that Ruyi had been so active in promoting various crops, and it was definitely not just hobbies and likes.

In fact, Emperor Qinglong was right, his intuition was very keen, but it was Oda who had been so positive, because big things would indeed happen in the future.

But Oda will be caught in his weakness.

"Xiaotian, what do you mean?" Xianfu Palace, Ruyi grabbed the soft flesh of the little white tiger's neck and lifted the tiger up.
