After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Pang Shengrong looked at Emperor Yong'an's expression and said at the right time:

"If your majesty is interested, why not arrange for some people to test the poison in the divine mist first? If it is confirmed that it has no harm to the body, then temporarily drive away those people, and Bailong Yufu will go and experience it himself."

Emperor Yong'an was very tempted.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you to arrange."

Pang Shengrong was overjoyed:

"I obey!"

Now with His Majesty's permission, he can enjoy the magical mist openly.

However, before he could leave the imperial study, he was stopped by Emperor Yong'an:

"Wait, this cannot be done. No one is allowed to violate the rules of the God again!"

Although he was reluctant to give up the benefits of the magical mist, Emperor Yong'an's imperial rationality prevailed in the end.

The God of Du'e was already angry because the powerful and wealthy violated the rules and occupied the places for treating serious illnesses.

Now, if he knew that he, the emperor, had knowingly violated the rules set by Him for the benefit of the Divine Mist, he would probably be even more angry.

If he withdrew the sacred mist in a fit of anger, or reprimanded the emperor in front of the people, it would be more trouble than gain.

On the contrary, as long as he works hard to win the favor of the God, not only will he be able to obtain the divine mist that can strengthen his body sooner or later, he can even get more benefits.

Now there is absolutely no need for him to take risks for a little immediate benefit.

"Yes."

Pang Shengrong had no choice but to agree again.

While feeling extremely regretful, he also realized that the emperor had a fear and respect for that deity.

The rest of the powerful people who violated the rules all breathed a sigh of relief after Emperor Yong'an announced the punishment.

At the same time, he went back and sternly warned his family:

"No one is allowed to have any ideas about the sacred mist! Otherwise, don't blame me for killing my own relatives for the sake of justice!"

The Lord of Du'e has great powers. Even His Majesty is so humble that he personally worships him. What are these powerful people like him?

This time, thanks to the law that does not punish everyone, they were not severely punished by His Majesty. But next time, if they knowingly commit the same offense, it may not be so easy to get away with it.

After this incident, the Lord Du'e established an unoffensive majesty in the hearts of many powerful people.

The Yan family soon informed Chen Qingzhu about Emperor Yong'an's visit to Huimin Pharmacy.

Moreover, he also found out about those who were punished with the caning and those who gave the so-called advice.

Some are illegitimate sons of the family, some are housekeepers of the family, and none of them are truly core members.

Chen Qingzhu just laughed it off:

"He's quite good at fooling people."

Yan Shengzhi asked:

"Then the master of the temple wants to continue to investigate?"

Chen Qingzhu shook his head indifferently:

"I have already told you my punishment. Your Majesty, it doesn't matter how you deal with me."

It is impossible for Emperor Yong'an to kill his most trusted ministers just for a god whose attitude is unclear.

All she wanted was a statement.

However, if Emperor Yong'an thought he could get away with it, he was gravely wrong.

The Shu King's rebel party, who are watching from the dark, will never give up.

With the two large spiritual mist formations operating together, tens of thousands to twenty thousand patients with severe and mild plague symptoms are treated every day.

Seven days later, there were finally no more people queuing for treatment outside the Huimin Pharmacy.

During this period, the Yingtian government office and the imperial guards also conducted extensive searches in the city, trying not to miss any plague patients.

After making sure that the plague had been basically eradicated, Chen Qingzhu withdrew the spiritual mist formation.

But the crisis facing Emperor Yong'an was not eliminated.

The reason for this, of course, is to clear up public opinion during the epidemic.

Originally, when Emperor Yong'an personally visited Huimin Pharmacy and punished those powerful people who did not abide by the rules, the people were very satisfied.

During this plague, they felt the emperor's attention to them.

When I return home, I often talk about the emperor's wisdom among my relatives and friends.

However, it wasn't long before the people's views were overturned.

"Your Majesty's Jinyiwei has never been a pushover. There have been countless cases of those powerful people seizing people's wealth and forcing people to sell their children and daughters, causing their families to be broken up. When has Your Majesty ever intervened?"

"Do you think that if the Lord of Du'e hadn't been angry, His Majesty would have really punished those powerful officials?"

"What's more, those who were caned were either the housekeepers or the unpopular bastards. The real tyrants didn't get hurt at all!"

"You fool the people and the gods like this. No wonder your majesty went to Huimin Pharmacy twice but couldn't get the gods to show up!"

"The God loves the people, so how could he favor such a foolish and immoral emperor?"

Such remarks quickly spread among the people.

People's gratitude towards Emperor Yong'an vanished in an instant.

After all, the evil deeds of the powerful and wealthy were witnessed by the ordinary people in the capital.

The Jinyiwei were so powerful, did Emperor Yong'an really not know about that?

Or, even though they know the truth, they still protect the powerful and wealthy, just like this time?

The scale in many people's hearts leans towards the latter.

Upon learning of these comments from the people, Emperor Yong'an flew into a rage and directly called the commander of the Jinyiwei and Jingzhao Yin to issue a death order:

"If you fail to eliminate those rebel minions this time, you two will be beheaded!"

Emperor Yong'an became furious. The Jinyiwei and Jingzhao Prefecture dared not be negligent any more. They finally found out many of the Shu King's rebel followers and hunted them down in the city.

The whole city was in chaos.

The Shu King's rebels fled while shouting:

"The tyrant is unjust and deceives the people. We are here to enlighten the people, and we will have no regrets even if we die!"

When there was really no way to escape, these people committed suicide without hesitation.

In the eyes of the people, this kind of behavior makes him seem like a hero who is willing to sacrifice his life for the people.

In the end, even though Emperor Yong'an posted an imperial edict and announced the truth, saying that this was a means for the Shu King's rebels to mislead the people, he still could not save much.

After all, it is impossible for Emperor Yong'an to really start to settle accounts with the powerful and wealthy who have done evil just for the sake of public opinion.

Now that wars are frequent across the country, he needs to stabilize people's hearts.

It also requires critical moments for these people to continue to support him as always.

At this time, we must not disappoint them any more.

Therefore, the only way for Emperor Yong'an to break through the public opinion can only be through the God of Du'e.

Because even today, in the private discussions of those ignorant people, the fact that Emperor Yong'an did not receive the recognition of the God of Du'e is ironclad evidence of his stupidity and lack of moral integrity.

Emperor Yong'an no longer dared to go to Huimin Pharmacy to ask for the God of Du'e.

He was afraid that he would return empty-handed for the third time.

After much deliberation, he could only summon his trusted ministers and issue a secret order:

"My dear ministers, whoever can invite the God of Du'e to come to the court for me, I will reward him or his relatives with the title of first-class marquis, which will be hereditary for three generations."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited.

That’s a first-rank marquis!

If the title is given directly to their sons or grandsons, it can ensure wealth and prosperity for four or five generations.

After several trusted ministers returned, they began to rack their brains to think of a solution.

Chen Qingzhu, the God of Deliverance who they all miss, is in a good mood now.

Even though she had spent most of her spirit crystal reserves to eradicate the plague in the capital, the rewards were extremely rich.
