  Chapter 478 Evacuation

"What?"

   Everyone turned their heads to look at Wang Bofan. The old white-haired man known as the third uncle frowned, "Bofan, what do you mean by that?"

   "I just received a secret report from the family secret agent using the close worm."

  Wang Bofan took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, opened the lid, and took out the note hidden inside, "Just an hour ago,

  Emperor Jing issued an appeal to Yu.

  At the same time, more than 20 kingdoms farther away and devoutly believing in Haotian, such as Persia, Tocharo, Jin, Wei, Jiao, etc., all issued condemnation documents against Yu.

   Claiming that the study of Neo Confucianism in Yu Guoxue Palace is close to the way of the devil, rebelling against Haotian is an unforgivable crime, and demands that the academy be closed immediately. "

  As soon as these words came out, all the clan elders in the courtyard opened their mouths in astonishment.

  What is the concept of call to action? It is a document used for recruitment and condemnation, and once it is issued, it often means war.

  More than 20 kingdoms issued a call to action at the same time, simply stating clearly that Taihao Mountain was behind it.

  The white-haired elder tremblingly took the note from Wang Bofan, scanned the contents of the secret report back and forth, and murmured: "How is it possible? How is it possible?"

   Only Mount Taihao can command so many kingdoms.

  But what kind of motivation and reason did Taihao Mountain come from? A few years ago, didn't you still have academic exchanges with Yu Guoxue Palace with great interest? Why are you suddenly shouting, beating and killing now?

  The oldest patriarch of the Wang family, a majestic thousand-year-old family, looked at the secret report in his hand, and felt powerless with an uncertain future and darkness in front of his eyes.

   "Nothing is impossible. The academy is changing with each passing day,

  The newly invented aura locomotive, as well as a variety of fully functional talisman boards, have visibly enhanced the national strength of Yu State.

   Also plans to create some kind of spiritual energy network, so that every household and every workshop can use talisman boards.

   If there is no more war, the gap in national strength between them and Yu State will become wider and wider. "

  Wang Bofan said: "Lian Xuanxiao, head of Xuegong Mountain, is getting old and has few years left to live. Now is the most suitable time to do it.

  These kingdoms demand the immediate closure of the Academy,

   This is of course impossible,

  The Kingdom of Yu was originally established jointly by the Academy and the founding ancestors of the Li Yu royal family. Without the Academy, the Kingdom of Yu would cease to exist.

  The situation of conquering Yu from all over the world is at hand.

  A single state of Zhou, the state of Yu is not afraid at all, even with the state of Jing, it can be evenly matched.

  However, with so many kingdoms, and the Taihao Mountain behind the scenes,

  Can Yu Guo still hold on? "

  Wang Bofan didn't care about the different expressions on everyone's faces, and said to himself: "Maybe this year, maybe next year,

  War will always come, and Xue Gong will die at that time. Either Xue Gong and Yu Guo died together.

  Yu State is already a leaky wreck, the most sensible thing to do is to jump off the ship and escape as soon as possible.”

  The white-haired elder interrupted: "What did the seventeenth say?"

   Members of the Wang family also held official positions in Taihao Mountain. The highest status was a priest of Juyu Academy, and his status was only under a cardinal and three deputy envoys.

  He is also considered a powerful figure in the entire Taihao Mountain.

   "Uncle Seventeen also sent a secret report through spies."

  Wang Bofan said with a smile: "He received the personal promise of Juyu Cardinal and Judgment Cardinal Bian Yubo that this war was launched by Master Haotian because he was dissatisfied with the academy.

   It is also only aimed at the Academy, and will not affect the aristocratic families within the Yu Kingdom.

  As long as we agree to cooperate,

   When a full-scale war broke out, the coalition forces broke through the border of Yu State, and the family was still safe and sound and would not be liquidated. "

   "Dissatisfied? Just because the headmaster is dissatisfied, you want to launch such an unprecedented war?"

  The white-haired elder scolded angrily: "Don't be stupid! It must be the head teacher, the four cardinals, and even the elders of Taihao Mountain who have unanimously agreed to go to war with Yu State.

  There must be a deeper reason behind this.

  Old Seventeen didn’t tell you the truth! Or he didn't know the inside story either! "

   "So what if you know the inside story?"

  Wang Bofan asked rhetorically: "Taihao Mountain cannot tolerate the behavior of studying Neo Confucianism in the academy and tearing off the mysterious veil of Haotian.

   Xuegong also had a hard time accepting Tai Haoshan's request to terminate Neo-Confucianism.

  The contradiction between the two is difficult to mediate, and it can be said that fire and water are incompatible.

  But there is no fundamental conflict between our family and Taihao Mountain.

  In the Three Kingdoms of Jing, Zhou, and Yu, which family did not have a few priests, priests, or even cardinals?

  The strength of Taihao Mountain is far superior to that of Yu State, we have to think about the future. "

  The white-haired man stared at him and asked, "For the sake of the future, so you want to continue to promote this plague?"

   "Exactly."

  Wang Bofan nodded and said: "In three days at the latest, there will be news about more than 20 foreign countries' proclamations, which will spread throughout the country of Yu. It cannot be concealed.

  People are in panic, and there must be some people who are afraid of the possible war and flee to the deep mountains, old forests, or even other countries.

  At this time, if the arrival of the plague medicine can be delayed and the plague ghost charms spread out,

   can make the plague spread rapidly, severely damage Yu State, and weaken Yu State's combat power.

  In this way, the reduction in the intensity of the war is also a good thing for the people of Yu State. "

  The white-haired old man said hoarsely: "This is what the old seventeen told you?"

   "No, I suggested it to Uncle Seventeen myself."

  Wang Bofan said in a deep voice: "If the king regards his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will regard him as his heart;

  Since Li Yu's court didn't treat me, Mrs. Wang, as a human being, they tortured us in different ways.

  Then why should we regard Yu State as the motherland? Why should the emperor Li Shun be regarded as a father who needs to be respected and loved?

  What's more, if you can delay the plague medicine, you can win a great achievement at Taihao Mountain,

   This is definitely a good thing for Wang's future. "

   "You, cough cough, cough cough!"

  The white-haired elder didn't catch his breath, pointed at Wang Bofan, covered his mouth and coughed uncontrollably. It took a while to calm down, and said hoarsely: "I don't agree.

  Even if there is an announcement, the war will not really break out,

  Perhaps Jing Guo and their call to arms are bluffing to cheer for Zhou Guo.

  Even if Jing Guo and the others are really planning to participate in the war, they still need time to prepare weapons and mobilize national power.

   This period will take at least a year, during which anything can happen.

  Maybe the headmaster died, Tai Haoshan changed a new headmaster, decided not to start a war,

  Maybe the head teacher changed his mind,

  Maybe Yu Guo made a certain compromise. They only closed the Dongjun Building of the Academy, shared all the technologies of the Lingqi locomotive and the talisman board, and let Tai Haoshan intervene in the change of imperial power.

  The Wang family has lasted for thousands of years, relying on making decisions before moving. Until the situation is fully clarified, we all sit tight. "

  War is the continuation of politics,

  Behind the more than 20 articles of appeal, there is a game between Taihao Mountain and Xuegong,

  The Wang family didn't even know what game they were playing around, so why should they take the lead and jump into this muddy mud?

   "Third Uncle, even if we don't do anything, the people from Zhaoming may have already done it."

  Wang Bofan shook his head and said, "I just received another message.

   Rumors arose in the city that a person infected with the plague claimed that in the hallucination of fever, a **** told him,

   Li Ang is the reincarnation of the Little Medicine King God. A drop of his undiluted blood can cure the plague.

   And not just one or two plague-infected people, but dozens of people having the same hallucination at the same time. "

  “.”

  The expression on the face of the white-haired old man suddenly froze.

   "The purpose of Yushi is to use the plague to force Yu to release his master, Situ Zhi. Naturally, it is impossible for Li Angan to make the special medicine in a peaceful manner."

  Wang Bofan said: "Rumors of divine blood healing diseases are spreading rapidly in the market. The Zhen Fusi and the Mancheng Yamen can't keep the mouths of the whole city at all.

  Everyone is going to die, so who cares about being convicted for their words. "

   "They can't, so let's do it!"

  The white-haired elder sternly said: "Order our people to stop the spread of rumors. The Wang family can still call the shots in Taiyuan Mansion!

  Our Wang family's purpose at the beginning was just to protect ourselves.

  With the Epidemic Ghost Talisman, this goal has been achieved, there is no need to do more, which will only cause trouble. "

   "It's too late, third uncle."

  Wang Bofan shook his head and said: "If we stop it, we will only hurt Zhaoming.

  If they reveal the matter of the Epidemic Ghost Talisman, they will hate Yu Guo.

  At the same time, what is the benefit of helping Li Ang and the court? It will also hate Taihao Mountain.

   In any case, the gain outweighs the loss.

   If you disagree, third uncle, then let’s vote.

  I agree with Uncle San, and those who are trying to stop the spread of rumors at this time, raise your hands. "

  There was no sound in the courtyard, and needles could be heard. Only a few people, including the white-haired elders, raised their palms.

  Wang Bofan continued: "Agree with me, those who secretly promote rumors, or at least acquiesce in the spread of rumors, raise your hands."

   This time, the number of arms raised in the courtyard was far more than last time.

   "Okay, the result is out."

  Wang Bofan put down his palm, "Third Uncle, you should go back to the house first, we are here."

  He took the crutch in the hand of the white-haired elder, and with a gesture of his eyes, he asked others to carry the protesting elder back to the back room.

  Wang Bofan himself also walked steadily, retreated from the people, and came to the bungalow in the corner of Wang's mansion.

  He took out the key as always, and opened the lock hanging on the door,

  A stench hits his face.

  Wang Jie, the once handsome and unrestrained eldest son of the Wang family, is still alive at this moment.

  His hands and feet were full of lumps and pustules, and his skin was covered with black spots. He was lying reclined on the bed, with a hose in his mouth, sucking an expensive medicinal soup equivalent to fine gold.

   Only the extremely rare and precious decoction can make Wang Jie, who should have died of the plague long ago, barely survive until now.

   Seeing Wang Jie like this, Wang Bofan, who had just completed the forced palace and seized the power of the Wang family, had his eyes darkened, but he tried his best to speak briskly, "Son, wake up, dad is coming to see you."

   "Father? Is that you?"

  Wang Jie opened his swollen eyes with difficulty, and looked at the door blankly.

"it's me."

  Wang Bofan took two steps forward,

  Wang Jie heard the footsteps and hurriedly said: "Father, don't come here. I'm still sick. I will infect you."

  Wang Bofan had no choice but to stop, looking at Wang Jie who was dying on the sick bed, his expression changed again and again, and he said sadly: "It's all because of my father. It's because my father asked you to go to Yunzhou to buy furs, so you get sick."

   "No, I took the initiative to go there at the beginning, and it has nothing to do with you, Dad."

  Wang Jie said with great effort: "What's going on in the city?"

  Wang Bofan forced a smile and said: "The epidemic ghost talisman is very useful, and more and more people are getting sick. Even the yamen servants have fallen ill a lot. Without the yamen servants, the Yamen of Taiyuan Prefecture can't even patrol the streets at twelve hours.

  The city is getting more and more chaotic. The King of Yue and Princess Guanghua will be evacuating in desperation in the next two days, making Taiyuan Mansion an isolated city. "

"That's good."

  Wang Jie nodded with difficulty, "Then, what about Yushi? The city is in chaos, can he come over and cure me?"

  Wang Bofan couldn't help being silent. Before, he coaxed and comforted his son, and when the city was in chaos, that Zhaoming Yushi would come over and cure Wang Jie's condition.

  However, Yu Shi would not be so stupid as to risk himself, and really come to Taiyuan Mansion to take risks, just to save a Wang Jie.

  Hearing Wang Bofan's silence, Wang Jie understood that this road would not work.

  He moved his neck with difficulty, and asked, "Then, what about that Li Ang? Isn't he researching a medicine that can cure the plague?"

   "Leon."

  Wang Bofan's tone paused a bit. The meeting in the courtyard just now had decided that the Wang family would acquiesce, or condone the spread of rumors in the city.

  This means that Li Ang's work on drug development will inevitably be disturbed.

Looking at his son's swollen face, he hesitated for a long time, still turned his head slightly, and said softly: "His medicine is very successful, and it can be produced in a few days, but it can't be mass-produced yet. Dad will find a way to help you get it." With one shot of the reagent, your illness will be cured by then."

   "That's good, thank you Dad"

  Wang Jie finally narrowed his eyes contentedly, and began to speak incomprehensible nonsense again. What do you want to play a kite, want to go swimming, Dad, you can carry a higher back, I want to watch fireworks and so on.

  Wang Bofan's eyes were sour and his throat was choked, he turned and walked out of the house, locked the door silently, and muttered to himself: "Son, don't blame dad.

  As a descendant of an aristocratic family, the survival of the family is always the most important.”

Speaking comforting words, Wang Bofan locked the door, turned around and stepped out of the courtyard, his eyes became firm again, and he ordered his subordinates who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time: "Go, spread the news that Li Ang's blood can cure diseases, get out."

  ——

  “.”

   Outside the laboratory of the prefect's mansion, Li Leling took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

   "Come in."

  Li Ang’s voice came from the room, Li Leling pushed open the door, only to see Li Ang in a white coat, rushing back and forth in front of various experimental platforms,

  Qiu Feng and Ouyang Shi observed the microscope at the back of the laboratory and recorded the data.

  Li Leling forced a smile, "Busy?"

"Um."

  Li Ang nodded, "This batch of soil samples is still not good, and the extracted medicine is still too toxic and too harmful to the human body.

   But it has improved a lot from the past.

   I only need to give me more than ten days to test hundreds or thousands of soil samples, and maybe new drugs can be made.

   Not only the plague, but diseases like tuberculosis can be cured. "

  "Consumption of tuberculosis was also an incurable disease in the past. Coughing, hemoptysis, and chest pain can torture people for years, making life worse than death for patients."

   Qiu Feng, who was observing the bactericidal effect of the drug under the microscope, turned around and said, "If the new drug is manufactured smoothly, countless people will be saved by then."

   "This is the charm of medical skills, hehe."

  Ouyang Shi also turned his head and smiled brightly.

   Seeing the three looking forward to being happy, Li Leling couldn't help falling silent.

   ".What's the matter, Le Ling?"

  Qiu Feng couldn't help frowning and asked.

   "I just received news that more than 20 countries, including Jing State, have also issued a denunciation document against Yu State. They demanded that the academy be closed."

  Li Leling said with difficulty: "Chang'an sent a message, let us withdraw from Taiyuan Mansion"

"What?!"

  Ouyang Shi stood up subconsciously, and said in astonishment: "But we will be able to make new medicine soon."

  Li Leling pursed her lower lip, and said helplessly: "Jing Guo and other countries issued a statement at the same time, which means that Taihao Mountain has completely stood on the opposite side of Yu Guo.

  As for the situation in Taiyuan Prefecture. Since the release of the Epidemic Ghost Talisman, the situation in the city has been getting worse day by day. The imperial court decided to take back part of the resources and let Taiyuan Prefecture autonomously save itself. "

  In the current Taiyuan Mansion, there are not only martial arts master Yan Guogong Yan Yundang, but Zhu Xiaonian master Xi Yangyu, who are ordered to protect the palaces of Li Hui and Li Leling.

   There is also a large group of bachelors transferred from the academy, monks of Zhen Fu Division.

  When Taiyuan Mansion has fallen into the bubonic plague, and the outside world is threatened with war, the most sensible thing to do is to evacuate the people.

  The so-called self-government and self-help can also be understood as self-destruction.
