Chapter 517

Listening to the suggestions of the court officials, Li Er's face became increasingly heavy.

These past few days.

The plague in Great Tang had become more and more severe.

Almost the entire north was unable to escape unscathed.

More and more people were dying.

Even his own son, Li You, had passed away due to smallpox.

It's just that Li Er didn't like this son very much, so he didn't suffer a particularly heavy blow.

After hurriedly holding a funeral, Li Er once again threw himself into the process of controlling the plague.

It's just that.

Li You's death did indeed make Li Er feel some lingering fear.

This indicated one point.

Chang'an City was no longer safe.

If he continued to stay, perhaps the next one to contract smallpox would be himself.

Don't look at how Li Er puts on a grand appearance, talking about putting the people in his heart.

But when it truly comes to the moment of life and death, no emperor can sacrifice himself for the people.

"570" Even Li Er is no exception.

The reason he was still hesitating was only because this action was too risky.

It required bearing countless bad reputations.

But thinking about it again.

Even if he stayed, what would be the use?

He could neither control the plague nor guarantee his own life safety.

Having figured this out, Li Er had already let go.

Forget about whatever bad reputation!

Saving his own life first is the most important thing!

"I announce that starting from today, I will go to Jiangnan to inspect the people's situation."

Li Er found an excellent excuse for himself.

In this way.

At least he barely found a cover.

Hearing these words, the court officials in Taiji Hall suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great!

Finally, they could go to Jiangnan for refuge.

Chang'an City, Zhu Que Street.

A sea of people!
