Chapter 268: Infection



“Is this news true?”

The handwriting on the letter was Yao Zhi’s own, with no signs of tampering.

Ye Shuo nodded: “Nine out of ten.”

That would be troublesome.

The most troublesome thing is that the disease is just like cockroaches. Often when you find one, there are already cockroaches everywhere.

What’s more, it has only been half a year since the little emperor ascended the throne.

The little emperor knew that it was his turn to take the stage, but at this moment, he was still extremely nervous.

But he couldn’t panic, because he was the emperor. No matter how young he was, he was still the emperor.

The little emperor’s hands on both sides were sweaty, but he still maintained his composure.

“Prince Regent, Prime Minister He, listen to my orders. I order the two of you to handle this matter immediately and notify the counties below to be aware of this matter.”

The young emperor is worthy of being the son of Emperor Taicheng, and is not inferior to his father.

Ye Shuo and He Xiang knelt on one knee and said in unison: “Your Majesty, I respect your order.”

Prime Minister He went to inform all the subordinates, ordering them to start patrolling the places under their jurisdiction as soon as they received the news. Ye Shuo began to conduct strict inspections in various places around the capital, making sure that the epidemic would not spread to this place. This matter required the help of the Black Armor Guards.

This is an official matter, an order personally issued by the young emperor, so the current commander-in-chief Li Yuheng naturally dare not neglect it.

You don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do. Shangjing is doing well now, with only a few suspected cases found so far, and they were all brought here by merchants recently. As for other places, two months have passed, and the news that has been received one after another is not so optimistic.

Not all prefectures and counties were as prosperous as Liangzhou, with abundant water and fields. The governor of Liangzhou closed the city gates and isolated it from the outside world. The people, merchants and officials inside were still able to be self-sufficient, but how many counties in Dazhou could compare with Liangzhou?

Moreover, they were delayed on the road for such a long time, and the plague naturally spread.

Even though everyone had been notified, due to various factors, the situation gradually got beyond the control of Ye Shuo and others.

To make matters worse, some people in the royal family and the court didn’t care about that. They didn’t care whether the little emperor’s decision was correct or not. They just knew that this was a problem that occurred during the little emperor’s term of office, and that was enough.

Then, rumours began to spread.

It was unknown when it started, but there was suddenly a voice in Shangjing City saying that Emperor Taicheng was foolish in his later years, had committed too many sins, and had been searching for immortals and asking for advice everywhere, which had angered the gods, so the gods had brought down such a punishment.

This is complete nonsense!

Such arguments really made Ye Shuo very angry.

In the eyes of these people, the dead Emperor Taicheng was nothing more than their tool.

What made Ye Shuo even more unbearable was that they actually implicated Ye Jin, or in other words, their target was Ye Jin from the very beginning.

Because Emperor Taicheng was a ruthless ruler, the little emperor was also labelled a sinner. The royal family and court officials forced the little emperor to issue a self-criticism edict, even though the little emperor had done nothing wrong and had even done well enough. ƝỒ₿È

“How outrageous! He is spreading rumours and misleading the people. Come, drag him away and kill him for me!” Ye Shuo’s words still worked. At least three or four people took action, but what would be the point of killing only this one?

Even though this matter had nothing to do with the little emperor, and he had not even taken power yet, he was forced to admit his “mistake” by those people who were eyeing him covetously.  

If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine. Ye Jin was a sensitive and thoughtful person, and this group of people tried their best to poke at his most painful points. Even if Ye Shuo later ordered the arrest of the person who spread the rumours, it was still of no avail.

After the court session, blood oozed from the little emperor’s lips until he fell into a coma, with his teeth clenched.

Even though Ye Shuo told him a hundred times that it was not his fault, the little emperor still fell visibly silent.

He was still a child, how could he bear so much?

Since Emperor Taicheng passed away, he had endured too many sins that he should not have endured at his age.

However, this was not the end. Another month passed, and the little emperor sent out two groups of people to distribute silver for disaster relief, but in the end the silver disappeared, and even the people who were sent out were killed.

Ye Shuo followed the clues and finally they all pointed to the Tenth Prince, the Eleventh Prince, the Twelfth Prince and others who had never been taken seriously in Shangjing City.

They were all princes, and they also had legitimate identities, so why were they always inferior to their brothers?

Ye Shuo was annoyed, but he had no way to really do anything to them based on these.

It’s just guesswork, without real evidence it won’t count.

The most important thing now is to calm the people in several places where the plague is most severe.

The two previous failures had caused public outrage, and no accidents could happen for the third time. The person must be delivered safely, and the status of the escort must be high enough, otherwise the anger of the people could not be quelled.

The best candidates are Ye Shuo, He Xiang, Prince Su, Prince Jin and Prince Ding. He Xiang, Prince Su and Prince Jin are all old, especially He Xiang. His old bones cannot withstand such torture. He might die before he even arrives. As for Prince Ding, his legs are too slow. If his journey is delayed, the situation will be even more serious.

In the end, after counting, only Ye Shuo was left.

Ye Shuo didn’t know whether the Tenth Prince and his men had done this on purpose, but now the arrow was on the string and he had to shoot.

Just as Ye Shuo was about to speak, he heard the Seventh Prince take the initiative to take on this task.

The Seventh Prince is such a smart man, how could he not understand his current difficulties?

“This time, just consider it as paying back what I owe you.”

Leaving Ye Shuo in shock, the Seventh Prince left with his men.

As expected, the seventh prince also failed to escape the assassination.

What’s more, this assassination came earlier than any previous one.

I’m afraid Xiao Ming’s attention at the beginning was all on the fifth prince and other two princes. He didn’t even know where the tenth prince, the eleventh prince, and the twelfth prince had such a group of people.

Xiao Ming doesn’t even know how long Ye Shuo has been here. It would be strange if he could find out where they hide their people.

Without caring about anything else, Ye Shuo asked Li Yuheng to help keep a close eye on the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Princes. He also asked his eldest cousin to place people in the palace to help take care of the little emperor. Only then did Ye Shuo lead his troops to rescue people.

I thought this time it would be foolproof. The Seventh Prince wasn’t far away, and the round trip would only take two days at most.

As a result, just as Ye Shuo rescued the seventh prince, news came that the little emperor had a high fever and seemed to have contracted an epidemic.

It turns out that there are so many people who want the little emperor to die.

Ye Shuo’s mind suddenly went blank.
