I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 396: Smallpox appears in the capital
"Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty." Chen Jing knelt down and saluted directly.

"Get up."

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.

Chen Jing stood up quickly, with a serious look on his face: "Your Majesty, something happened."

"On the outskirts of Chang'an, Qin Chi discovered a person suspected of being infected with smallpox."

"Not only Qinchi, but also the counties around Chang'an City have received news of smallpox infection." Chen Jing reported with a solemn expression.

"what?"

"smallpox?"

Li Shimin's expression changed and he instantly became serious.

Although Li Zheng's expression was stunned for a moment, he showed a sneer in an instant.

"How many infections have been found?"

"Has the city been sealed off?"

"Are there any in Chang'an?" Li Shimin immediately asked, his expression extremely serious.

No matter who you are if you contract smallpox, you almost have a narrow escape from death. Those who can survive smallpox can live if they can survive it, but if they can't survive it, they will die.

"Based on the information we have received so far, the total number of people in each city has exceeded 300, and those who have symptoms have been found to have no symptoms, and they have not been found yet."

"Chang'an City has not been found yet, but based on the flow of people in the capital, I suspect it has been discovered." Chen Jing said with a solemn expression.

"Passed by Sun Simiao."

Li Shimin shouted immediately.

Wang De immediately walked out quickly.

Not a moment.

Sun Simiao quickly came to the political affairs hall.

Waiting to salute.

"Smallpox appeared in the suburbs of Chang'an."

"How to deal with it." Li Shimin raised his hand and said in a deep voice.

"smallpox?"

Sun Simiao opened his eyes wide, and his expression changed instantly.

"Immediately seal the city. As soon as a city infected with smallpox is found, seal the city immediately, and gather all smallpox-infected patients in one place for treatment."

"To control the refugees entering Chang'an, the entire city is under martial law, and everyone must cover their mouths and noses with cloth to prevent infection." Sun Simiao said immediately.

"Instruct the Ministry of War to send an order to the Imperial Guard and the Yulin Army to immediately mobilize troops to seal the city."

"All soldiers are on alert."

"Chen Jing, you personally go to the Ministry of War and the Forbidden Army Office to convey the decree that the whole city is under martial law." Li Shimin said immediately.

"Old minister accepts the order."

Chen Jing immediately retreated, not daring to show any signs of neglect.

"smallpox."

"incurable disease."

"Reappearing after more than ten years."

"I don't know how many people will die this time." Li Shimin frowned, very worried.

But Li Zheng.

It was very peaceful at the moment.

"Li Zheng, why are you so calm?"

"Don't you know how serious smallpox is?"

"This is a narrow escape, and there is no solution yet." Looking at the calm Li Zheng, Li Shimin was very surprised.

"Father, do you think this smallpox is a natural disaster?"

"It can't be such a coincidence." Li Zheng sneered and meant something.

Li Shimin's expression changed and he immediately thought of something: "You mean? The Su family are doing something?"

"I don't believe there is such a coincidence."

"but."

"The Su family's father and daughter are very smart. They know how to start from around Chang'an City, away from the supervision of bad people, and then carry smallpox into Chang'an through abortion."

"A good trick." Li Zheng sneered.

"What should we do now?"

"If that's the case, then there's no way to catch them, so it's hard to do anything."

"It seems that we can only ask without any scruples." Li Shimin frowned.

"Father."

"I said before that as long as they dare to take action, they will definitely be exposed. They can't escape." Li Zheng sneered.

at this time.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

"General." Zhao Ming's voice came in.

"Father."

"Here's the good news." Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin and smiled. "Good news?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Come in." Li Zheng said loudly.

Zhao Ming quickly walked into the hall.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"I see you, General."

Zhao Ming knelt down directly.

"How?" Li Zheng asked.

"The general is really clever.

"In the end, the Su family sent housekeeper Su Qiang to take action."

"The dead soldiers camp has captured Su Qiang and a dozen of his dead soldiers."

"The Su family has used almost all of their dead soldiers this time. They are scattered throughout the country, more than a hundred of them."

"We caught a dozen people, and the others we encountered committed suicide."

"but."

"Their methods are very vicious. They have cultivated poisonous insects in various cities. Even if we catch them, we can't cut off the source of smallpox." Zhao Ming replied, but now that the smallpox has dispersed, he looks very ugly. .

"Have you found the poisonous insect?"

Li Zheng asked in a deep voice.

"General."

"This is a poisonous insect."

Zhao Ming took out a box and opened it. There were several dead poisonous insects inside.

Look at the poisonous insect in front of you.

Li Shimin frowned and immediately said: "Pass on Wang Hao."

Wang De nodded immediately: "Old slave accepts the order."

Then he walked quickly.

Looking at the poisonous insects in front of him and everything Wang De heard before, he understood that this matter was really serious and the evidence of the crime had been found.

"Father."

"I forced Kong Xian before, and I was touched by seeing Su Tan and his daughter."

"The Su family and his daughter have made a desperate move."

"This was their last resort, and they used poisonous insects to lure smallpox. The reality spread in the cities around Chang'an, causing the court to panic and seal the city."

"Using the influx of people into Chang'an, smallpox also occurred in Chang'an."

"Then, in the palace, in my house, even in the East Palace, poisonous insects were planted to cause smallpox."

"She took action this time."

"I just want to get rid of my father and me, so that her son can take care of himself." Li Zheng said with a sneer.

Li Shimin had a cold face.

No words were spoken.

Not a moment.

Wang Hao walked quickly into the political hall.

"See the Emperor."

"See His Highness the Prince."

Wang Hao bowed and saluted.

Li Shimin pointed to the poisonous insects in the box and said to Wang Hao: "Take down that bitch Su."

"And the entire Su family."

"Get them all for me."

"Bring Su Shi and Su Tan to me, and put everyone else in jail."

"I will also capture Su's three sons." Li Shimin shouted sternly.

"I accept the order." Wang Hao walked out of the hall quickly and called for someone immediately.

At this moment.

Witnesses and evidence gathered together.

Li Shimin couldn't bear it any longer, so he immediately issued an order.

When Li Zheng began to scrutinize the Su family, Li Shimin was worried about his comatose son, the prince. After all, he was his favorite concubine and the mother of the emperor's grandson, so Li Shimin restrained himself.

If he were just a foreign minister, he would have taken action long ago.

but now. Nothing to worry about anymore.

Everything is clear.

"Father."

"The done deal is done."

"The real culprit has surfaced."

"I said at the beginning that I had to force them to reveal their true colors," Li Zheng said.
