Chapter 508

Watching the court officials in the Taiji Hall with red faces and thick necks, Li Er felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

He wanted exactly this effect!

Why?

Only by letting the court officials unite against an outsider can the throne be stable!

Li Tai and Li Ke will also no longer kill each other.

Throwing out the news of an eldest legitimate son is equivalent to invisibly erecting a wall in front of the throne.

No matter what Li Er does, he can have room for maneuver.

After all, there is still an unknown Crown Prince acting as a buffer in the middle.

This is Li Er's ultimate goal.

As for letting Qin Mu inherit the throne, this matter was never in Li Er's consideration—at least not before he died.

This is absolutely impossible!

"Alright, this matter is settled! The current priority of the Great Tang is to deal with the plague." Li Er deliberately forced an end to this explosive topic and turned to discuss the smallpox matter. Of course!

There was a reason for doing this.

Even if the topic was forcibly stopped, this matter would gradually ferment in the court and the public.

Sometimes.

The less people are allowed to discuss something, the faster it spreads.

Li Er just wanted these court officials not to have their minds full of thinking about defecting to the prince's forces, hoping to reach the sky in one step!

What the Great Tang needs most is to unite as one, to resist the Great Qin, and to resist the plague!

"Your Majesty, the current plague situation is truly urgent. It is not just Chang'an City; even Luoyang and the surrounding prefectures and counties have almost all been affected."

"Just among the common people, tens of thousands have already died. And in many official households in Chang'an City, symptoms of smallpox transmission have already appeared."

Du Ruhui stood out first.

As Li Er's backbone minister, he had always been loyal.

"It seems the spread of the plague is even more severe than I imagined."

Li Er rubbed his temples.

Headache!

Smallpox has always been an incurable terminal illness.

Anyone who gets smallpox can lose their life within a few days.

Only a very small number of people with strong resistance can luckily escape the gates of hell.

Now.

The plague is spreading so fast.

If this continues.

The consequences will be unimaginable!

"Everyone, do you have any good methods?"

Li Er raised his head and asked.

"This..."

"Smallpox is an incurable disease; what good method could there be?"

"Yes!"

The court officials looked at each other, and no one could think of any good ideas.

Smallpox is a fierce disease; even a great immortal would find it hard to save.

"Your Majesty, I do have a method."

The elderly Pei Ji stood out again.

The Taiji Hall instantly became quiet.

Everyone looked toward Pei Ji, their eyes filled with a trace of doubt.

This old thing seems quite resourceful lately!

"Oh? Lord Pei, speak quickly and let me hear it!"

Li Er was also extremely excited.

Regardless of whether he is Li Yuan's confidant.
