Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

The next day, the Xianyang court discussed.

At this time, the news of the outbreak of the plague in Shangjun had not yet spread, so many courtiers were not aware of it.

Just as everyone entered Xianyang Palace one by one, and was about to greet Ying Zheng, they saw him yawning, looking tired, and came out under the service of his servants.

Not only that, Meng Yi and Zhao Shu also looked tired, and they looked like they knew they hadn't slept all night.

"what happened?"

Seeing this scene, the courtiers present began to speculate.

"We pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wannian, Great Qin Wannian!"

As Ying Zheng took his seat, everyone saluted first.

"Free gift!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and sat down in his seat.

"Your Majesty, why do you look tired from the court meeting today?"

As the current head of civil servants, Wang Wan stood up and asked a question that everyone was curious about.

"Wang Qing, sit down first, and the widow will explain to you later."

"Here!"

As Wang Wan returned to her seat, Ying Zheng also nodded to Meng Yi.

Immediately, Meng Yi walked to the center of the hall with the battle report sent back by Meng Tian.

"My lords, yesterday, His Majesty suddenly received an urgent report from Shangjun that a plague broke out in Shangjun. The infection speed is extremely fast and it is difficult to cure. Now millions of people in Shangjun are in danger."

"The eldest son Fusu and my younger brother Meng Tian, ​​after learning about this situation, have made a decisive decision to seal off Shangjun to prevent the further spread of the plague."

"And the price of this decision is...the lives of the 30 elite garrison troops in Shangjun, and the lives of nearly a million heads of Guizhou and prisoners!"

Even though there is a solution now, when Meng Yi read the news, there was still a bit of sadness in his tone.

As for the ministers in the DPRK, it was the first time they heard the news, and the shock in their hearts was naturally conceivable.

"A sudden plague in Shangjun? How could my Daqin suffer from such a natural disaster?"

"Could it be that His Majesty couldn't sleep all night after hearing the news?"

"Millions of human lives, could they be buried under the plague like this?"

The faces of many courtiers were shocked, with fear, chills, and worries.

But things like plague, at this time in ancient times, have always represented disaster and destruction.

Not to mention, this plague has spread so widely.

If you want to talk about the policy of governing the country, or other government affairs, these ministers can still make some suggestions.

But in the face of the plague, even if they went in person, they would just die.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what decision are you going to make?"

Wang Wan stood up and asked with great heartache.

"What does Wang Qing think?"

Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at the people present. He didn't rush to say his own solution, but planned to take the opportunity to test these courtiers.

"Your Majesty, the spread of this plague is so wide that it has rarely been heard of throughout the ages. In my humble opinion, the current plan is to give up Shangjun to preserve our great Qin foundation!"

Before Wang Wan could speak, Li Si spoke first.

"Li Gong, that's millions of lives, can't we just give up like this?"

Wang Wan was a little reconciled. The population gathered in Shangjun had exceeded the total population of any county in Daqin.

Millions of lives, this is a shocking number, no one can remain indifferent to it.

"Wang Xiang, don't forget that the plague is contagious. If you don't give up on Shangjun and let the plague continue to spread, then more than a million people will die, and even the whole of Daqin may be killed because of this. Annihilated by a plague!"

Li Si didn't care about his identity at this time. His decision-making seemed cruel, but it was indeed the most effective and the least lossy way.

"Is there no other way?"

Wang Wan panicked, with a look of sadness on her face.

"I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to block Shangjun and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. Even if millions of people are wiped out, at least our Daqin foundation can still be preserved!"

Li Si ignored Wang Wan and once again gave Ying Zheng advice.

"The widow knows!"

Ying Zheng nodded. It seemed that he was right to save Li Si's life.

His decisiveness and ruthlessness seem to be very cruel, but they are what Daqin needs most.

As an official, you should not rely on your own will, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

No matter how cruel and ruthless they were, everything Meng Tian and Li Si did was the most effective way with the least loss at the moment.

If Wang Wan is allowed to deal with this matter, it is very likely that he is unwilling to give up the lives of millions of people, which will eventually cause the plague to continue to spread, and more than a million people will die by then.

"Everyone go back and sit down. I have already made a decision. The head of Qian in Shangjun is also a citizen of my Great Qin. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not give up on them."

"Your Majesty, don't you plan to blockade Shangjun? If the plague really spreads, it will be dangerous!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Si quickly stood up and said.

"My lords, please rest assured. After learning about the plague in Shangjun, His Majesty immediately sought a solution. Now that he has found a cure for the plague, the head of Guizhou and the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty will never die in vain!"

Meng Yi explained.

"Your Majesty found a solution so quickly?"

"Impossible, the plague is so serious, unless it is a fairy descending to earth, it is impossible to save it."

"Bold, do you dare to doubt His Majesty? If His Majesty says there is a solution, then there must be a solution. I believe Your Majesty!"

"Okay, be quiet!"

Ying Zheng let out a drink and quieted the hall.

"Mengqing, it's up to you to read the widow's will!"

"Here!"

……

Meng Yi, who received the order, immediately came to the main hall.

"After His Majesty's hard thinking, he finally found a cure for the plague, which consists of three steps: prevention, treatment, and disinfection."

"First, prevention is to prevent the plague from continuing to spread, so that the people in Qianshou near Shangjun and those who have not been infected should take protective measures."

"Second, treatment is to give those who have been infected with the plague drug treatment so that they can recover as soon as possible."

"Third, disinfection is to completely eliminate the source of the plague, so that the plague cannot spread to Shangjun at all!"

Meng Yi finished reading the steps to solve the plague, but the people below were confused.

"Your Majesty, is there a cure for this plague?"

"Yeah, how to prevent this? Could it be that all the nearby Qianshou can't be evacuated?"

"What about disinfection? Could it be that this plague was poisoned by humans? Who the hell is so cruel that he dared to poison the lives of millions of people in Shangjun."
