Great Tang Southern Emperor

"That would be great, but do you carry this thing with you? If you take it temporarily, it will be a bit troublesome. Time waits for no one." Li Zhen asked again. Viruses are different from poisons. Viruses have a shelf life Very short, because the life cycle of the virus is so long, if it is not prepared temporarily, it can only be sealed with ice cubes.

Chen Tianlu said: "Didn't I say it? My virus was discovered a few days ago. I extracted it on the road, and it's stored in my place."

"That's good, that's good." Li Zhen also smiled, as long as there is no problem with the virus, the rest will be much easier.

Chapter 1255 Schedule

Chapter 2

"Since the strategy has been decided, your Highness, you can give the order, and your subordinates will definitely complete the matter satisfactorily." Cheng Chuliang assured, patting his chest.

"You don't need the task of poisoning, I have asked you to come, it's something else." Li Zhen said with a deliberate tone, "This matter is not suitable for me to come forward in person, and if the matter is revealed...so... "

Qin Huaiyu's brain was not given for nothing, and he immediately understood Li Zhen's meaning: "This subordinate understands... Your Highness is an upright gentleman. Naturally, this kind of insidious plan will not be thought up by His Highness, but by your subordinates and others." Meaning, His Highness strongly opposed it, but his subordinates were not angry with those old people, so they contacted Chen Tianlu in private and gave them the chickenpox virus..."

"That's right, I, Xiao Cheng, did this matter, and it has nothing to do with His Highness. Even if someone else finds out, they can just find me, and I will pay for their lives." Cheng Chuliang clapped his chest loudly, It's almost time to swear, you know, there are not many opportunities to blame Li Zhen, and now there is a rare opportunity, at a certain moment, he even intends to take the initiative to expose this matter.

"It's not enough to pay for your life. We didn't kill people. We just punished them. At most, it's a disrespectful one. After the news spreads, the reputation will suffer a little bit. Let's not talk about this, there is one more thing you need to do... "Li Zhen smiled, and at the same time mentioned another thing: "As the saying goes, you have to play a full set of plays. I think it would be too deliberate if you just let them get infected with the virus, and they might make trouble... Du He, you I went with Qin Huaiyu to find some soldiers who were strict with me and absolutely loyal to me, and we also inoculated them with chickenpox virus, so that our own people would also be infected with chickenpox. Nonsense."

"This method is good. In this way, no one will be able to say anything." Qin Huaiyu said, and then gritted his teeth: "Let's do this, since we have to do a full set of acting, so it doesn't matter if the soldiers are infected, and you, son-in-law, plant it on me too." Well, when the time comes, I will take the initiative to let them watch it, and see what they have to say. And once news of the plague spreads in the army, those people will not dare to come again after all—after all, they were killed by the prince and Although death from the plague is both death, the results are completely different. The former can seek benefits for their families, while the latter is meaningless to die, and death is also a useless death... It can just break the Jin King and Confucianism. Without the harassment of others, we can continue to set off with peace of mind."

"Then let's do it this way." Fang Yiai smiled and said, "However, you can't just pay for this matter, but also plant it for me. It just so happens that my injury has not been long, and my body is still very weak, so I am more likely to be infected with the virus. , so that two of the four of us had chickenpox, it would be more believable."

"Okay, I'll thank you for your hard work." Li Zhen was moved in her heart, but she didn't say anything. After she ascended the throne, she would just slowly compensate them.

"..." Although Du He and Cheng Chuliang also wanted to express their opinions, it is too late. There are only two high-level people who are infected. If there are more, it will really cause chaos. Once all the high-level people are infected, then The army has no one to command, and it's just that it's hard to move an inch. I'm afraid that the army itself will have problems.

Chen Tianlu added beside him: "Actually, it is the best thing for Li Zhen to get chickenpox. As long as you get chickenpox, those old people will definitely not be able to get close to you..."

"The prince can't, absolutely not." Before Chen Tianlu finished speaking, Du He directly vetoed: "The King of Jin stole the throne, no matter what his means are, but at this time he is the emperor after all, with righteousness in hand, and no one who supports him Few. And although the crown prince occupies the commanding heights of morality, it is obvious that the position is embarrassing now. Once the news of the crown prince's infection with chickenpox spreads, I am afraid that the king outside will immediately smear the crown prince, saying that he has acted against the sky and was punished by heaven. And so on...then the prince's legitimacy may be doubted. Besides, even if he doesn't care about his reputation, His Highness can't make a mistake. You must know that His Highness is our Dinghaishenzhen right now. Once the news of his infection with the plague spreads, The morale of our army will immediately become chaotic, and the attitudes of officials who support us in various places will also fluctuate, and if the spies of King Jin continue to sow dissension...the consequences will be unimaginable."

Cheng Chuliang: "That makes sense. In fact, I don't agree with the use of the plague virus... because it is a critical moment and the plague in the army at this time will cause a lot of damage to the prince's reputation..."

"But this is the best solution now, isn't it? And..." Speaking of this, Li Zhen sneered: "And my reputation is not so easy to damage... Qin Huaiyu, when the news spreads tomorrow, you so and so..."

After listening to Li Zhen's strategy, Fang Yiai was very happy: "Hahaha, this is a good way, put the shit bowl on their heads, even if we kill them, the outside world will not say anything about us again."

Cheng Chuliang also asked: "That is to say, once we put the blame on them, then we can slaughter a few old things to relieve our hatred? Great, I have long disliked them, these old things Since they came here, they have caused us a lot of influence, but unfortunately I can't move them... It's all right now, I must kill a few more tomorrow to vent my hatred."

Li Zhen was taken aback: "Isn't it? You won't even let the old man go? Are you really going to kill someone?"

"Of course, I don't feel happy if I don't kill a few, and your Highness, don't say us, just say you? You were harassed by them most seriously, and your subordinates don't believe that you didn't want to kill them? "Fang Yiai glanced at Li Zhen contemptuously. If Li Zhen had never wanted to kill those old men from the beginning to the end, then he would not be the prince of the Tang Dynasty who killed countless people.

"..." Li Zhen glared at Fang Yi'ai in embarrassment. Naturally, he had murderous intentions, and there were quite a few times, almost four or five times a day on average.To tell the truth, these old people are really too much. They didn't say a word about Li Zhi's usurpation of the throne. They just persuaded Li Zhen to give up the fight and let him follow the example of Kong Rong and let him learn from Wang Tai (Wang Tai pushed Zao) and so on. And so on, I also talked about the allusions of the Spring and Autumn Song Guoxuan's brother and the nephew and Yi (Song Shanggong), either insinuating, or blunt, just wanting Li Zhen to withdraw from the battle for the throne.

Li Zhen was furious, Wang Tai's fate was better, Kong Rong was slaughtered by Cao Cao, not to mention Song Xuangong, this was the initiator of the Song Dynasty Tenth Rebellion, if he didn't do it A brother and brother, the first few chaos of the Song Dynasty may not necessarily happen, but without the previous chaos, the subsequent history will change.And without the chaos of the tenth generation, the state of Song may not become the eighth hero of the Spring and Autumn Period-you must know that the foundation of the state of Song is very good, and it is not much worse than the seven heroes. If it can develop with peace of mind, the national strength Really not much weaker than Qixiong.

What do these bastards mean?Are they cursing themselves as Kong Rong?Or are you saying that Datang's future fate will be the same as that of Song Dynasty, in chaos?If it wasn't for the absence of a notary, Li Zhen could have killed them just for this reason.

But unfortunately, Li Zhen couldn't do it, because there was no third party watching, once Li Zhen killed them, his reputation would be ruined.He didn't even dare to touch Li Zhen, otherwise rumors would spread the next day that Li Zhen disrespected the elderly, and his reputation would still be damaged—in fact, there were other ways to deal with these people, Li Zhen's The advisory group gave him a lot of solutions. The problem was that Li Zhen didn't think it was worth it. In addition, they were just a group of old scholars who couldn't do any harm to him, so Li Zhen didn't bother to deal with them.

As a result, they saw that Li Zhen had nothing to do with them, and became more and more presumptuous. Some people even pointed at Li Zhen's nose and cursed, and some even cursed Li Zhen to die, saying that Li Zhen was the root of the troubles in Tang Dynasty They said that as long as Li Zhen died, Datang would be stable. Li Zhen was so angry that he wished to kill them many times.

But at the last moment of the Tao, Li Zhen held back after all, because he knew that he could not kill them, and once he killed them, he would fall into the trap of Confucianism—these old things are a group of bait, and they are Confucianists and Li Zhi. They were specially sent here for me to kill, so they can use various methods to stimulate me, in order to let me kill them, but once I really kill them, my reputation will be rotten...

Until today, they gave themselves an ultimatum, and Li Zhen's murderous intentions could hardly be suppressed. When did he, the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, suffer such humiliation?And being forced by a group of old men like this?At that moment, Li Zhen's killing intent was almost overflowing, but the last reason made him suppress the killing intent again, but it also made him plan to solve this matter thoroughly, and once the matter is resolved, then this gang of immortals, including the lives of their families...

"Let's not talk about this. Let's get ready, everyone. It's almost dawn. After this matter is resolved, you can play the rest as you like." Li Zhen forcibly changed the subject.

"Yes, this subordinate is resigning." Everyone said nothing, and left to perform their respective tasks.

On the second day, Qi Xian got up early in the morning. He is one of the local elders in Huazhou and the most famous elder in Huazhou. Although his family is not a top-notch family, it is also a local leader. Coupled with his good knowledge, he was chosen by Confucianism to be the leader of this mission.In fact, he really didn't want to come, because he was different from those who had half of his body buried in the ground. Because of his good maintenance, although he was 69 years old, his body was quite healthy, and his hair was still black and shiny. The teeth in his mouth are even stronger than those of some young people. He feels that according to his physical condition, he has at least 30 years to live. If there is no disease or disaster in the future, even if he lives to be over a hundred years old, it will not be a problem.

Therefore, he is really unwilling to accept the tasks assigned by Confucianism. After all, according to the current situation, King Jin only controls the territory near Chang'an City, and even Guan Nei Dao has not been completely mastered. The king has millions of soldiers, but Qi Xian knows very well that the outcome of a war is never determined by the number of people.

Contrary to King Jin is the prince. Although the prince seems to have only 20 troops, they are all marines transferred from the navy. With the support of the Ten Thousand Young Army, they have mastered thousands of miles of rivers and mountains south of Lingnan. Even if the prince is finally defeated in this battle, unless he dies in this battle, the prince who has Lingnan as a retreat only needs to develop slowly and make a comeback. It can be seen that even with his current background, it is very easy to regroup the army after returning to Lingnan and fight back again.

Therefore, Qi Xian was unwilling to stand in the team at this time, especially standing on the opposite side of the relatively superior prince, and he was even more unwilling.It's just that under the general trend, personal will is just a drop in the ocean, and trying to resist is tantamount to being a cart.Now that everyone in Confucianism has chosen King Jin, as a member of Confucianism, Qi Xian has to stand on the side of Confucianism, unless he voluntarily leaves Confucianism.

But is it possible?The Qi family is based on Confucianism, and Confucianism is the root of the Qi family. If you lose Confucianism, you will abandon your own roots. Although breaking away from Confucianism may guarantee the lives of your family members, but without the fundamental Qi family, I am afraid It will also fall apart very quickly.What's more, if he became a traitor to Confucianism, how could Confucianism not retaliate against him?And without the fundamental Qi family, how can it stop the offensive of the entire Confucianism?I'm afraid that the decisive battle between the crown prince and the king of Jin has not yet ended, and here their Qi family will be devoured by Confucianism, right?

Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Qi Xian still chose to accept the task, and from another perspective, this matter may not be a dead end, it may not be an opportunity for the Qi family to rise and take off, once King Jin wins , then as his supporter, the Qi family who paid for the death of the patriarch will naturally become a great hero, and with the support of the entire Confucian family, the Qi family will inevitably flourish, and if he can raise the entire family by himself, he Qi Xian must He will become the biggest hero of the Qi family and be praised forever... Thinking of this, facing the next death, not only does Qi Xian not feel horrible, but he is a little impatient.

Of course, to make him go to death so willingly, in addition to the support promised by Confucianism, there is also an imperial decree from the emperor, which implicitly stated that as long as Li Zhen can be discredited, the Qi family, including all the families who go to death, will get the emperor's support. This is the real reason why Qi Xian is so willing to die.

Chapter 1256 Plague?grab it.

Chapter 2 Plague?grab it.

Qi Xian is in a good mood, because today is the day of the final battle, and Li Zhen must choose one of the two choices he gave, but in his opinion, Li Zhen will definitely not choose to retreat, after all Logically speaking, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is the number one heir of the Tang Dynasty, but now it is Li Zhi who has won the throne, and even Li Zhen doesn't know...

If Qi Xian were Li Zhen, he would not give up so easily, not to mention that he still has a foundation as big as Lingnan, and if he retreats today, Confucianism will inevitably press forward step by step in the future. Will he give up even Lingnan? ?And without Lingnan, what will happen to Li Zhen's family, there is no need to even think about it - Li Zhi will never allow Li Zhen's family to live, even if they chase him to the ends of the earth, they will kill Li Zhen's family Fate.

So even if it's not for the tone in her heart, even if it's just for her family, Li Zhen will not give up the fight for the throne.

"That's fine, with the support of Confucianism and aristocratic families, King Jin may not necessarily lose this war..." Qi Xian muttered to himself for a moment, and began to put on clothes with the help of his servants, crowns, crowns, clothes The clothes, skirts, shoes, skirts, and trains are all brand new, and they are also the highest-standard clothes he can wear, that is, formal clothes, because today is when he dies, so of course he must wear the best clothes.

And just when he got dressed, bid farewell to his family (Qi Xian is a native of Huazhou, his family is in Weicheng City, and now he just lives in a separate courtyard in Baima City), and when he was about to walk out of the courtyard, suddenly a "monster" 'Running in, Qi Xian almost fainted from fright.

"Hey, where are you evildoer, dare to act evil in broad daylight?" To be honest, Qi Xian was still very frightened. After all, monsters that can appear in broad daylight must be great monsters. I'm afraid that even a sneeze can wipe myself out.However, when he thought that he was going to die today, Qi Xian immediately settled down. People are not afraid of death, but why are they afraid of death?The only problem is...

Qi Xian looked back at his family members who were full of fear, and said to the monster: "You came to my house at this time, you must come to seek revenge. I don't know who your enemy is, but I hope you can only kill enemies. Don't hurt the innocent..."

"I'm not a monster, Brother Yunhe (Qi Xian's character), it's me, Ji Liang Ji Mingtai." With a crying voice, the 'monster' put his head in front of Qi Xian, revealing a slightly familiar face of Qi Xian. face.

"Brother Mingtai, why do you look like this?" Qi Xian was taken aback. The person who came was really acquainted with him, and the relationship between the two was very good, but now his face was covered with purple-black pimples. The blisters, it was these purple-black blisters that caused Qi Xian to mistake him for a monster at first glance.

"Brother, I don't know. I just took a nap yesterday, and it became like this this morning." Ji Liang's voice was about to cry, and he came here at this time to ask for help.

"And it's not just me, Brother Wu, Brother Lan, and Mr. Heshan are all like this, but you, Brother Zhou and Brother Qi, haven't been caught in this situation..." The people Ji Liang mentioned all went to meet with him Li Zhen's people, originally he suspected that this situation should be caused by Li Zhen, but now it seems that only some people got sick, so Li Zhen's suspicion suddenly disappeared.

"How could this be?" Qi Xian subconsciously put this matter on Li Zhen's head, but he didn't have any real evidence, so he could only comfort him: "We haven't figured out the specific situation now, we Let's go to see the crown prince first...by the way, have you seen the doctor yet?"

"Look, all the famous doctors in Huazhou City have been invited by us, but none of them can see what's wrong. They just say that it's a skin disease and it shouldn't be fatal, but whether it's contagious or not is unknown. Clear." Ji Liang was about to cry, although the doctor said so, but it was just their one-sided words, who knows if the chickenpox will grow in the body?

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's time for us to go on the road today. If you are infected, you can be infected." Qi Xian is quite open-minded, as he said, today is their death day, and it doesn't matter if they are sick or not. Woolen cloth?

"I'm afraid this is a trick played by the prince. If so..." Ji Liang gradually calmed down after he said this, and expressed his worries.

"It's still too early to say these things. Let's go to the barracks first and see how Brother Sima is doing before making a conclusion." Qi Xian said, the so-called Brother Sima also belonged to them, but these people came from other places. Some of them even followed Li Zhen from Dengzhou, and they were not locals like Qi Xian and others, so Li Zhen specially opened up a place for them to live in the military camp.

"Okay, that's the only way to go." Ji Liang had no other choice but to follow Qi Xian to join us first.

"Master, it's not good." Just as the two were about to leave, a man dressed as a servant rushed in: "The plague broke out in the city, and many people were infected..."

"What?" Qi Xian was startled again, and asked anxiously, "What kind of plague is it, and how many people are infected?"

"It seems to be a kind of chicken pox... just like the one on Master Ji's face." The servant backed up again and again when he saw Ji Liang: "Master, stay away from Master Ji, he has already been infected with the plague..."
