Everyone discussed animatedly. This was indeed the best solution.
Li Shi Min himself knew that this was the best and only way for him.
Otherwise, if the refugees continued to spread, the Great Tang might truly be wiped out.
If they sealed off all the places, the hot weather would eventually wipe out the smallflower by itself when summer came.
This was the only way Li Shiming and the others could come up with.
"Do we really have to do this? I am the emperor of the Great Tang, yet I am going to let millions of people live and die?”
All the officials present remained silent. Everyone knew very well what the consequences would be if this order was issued.
That was, the world was saved.
However, the millions of people who were currently sick, as well as the people who were suspected to be infected, would all be abandoned.
Among them, if they were lucky, they would last until the hot summer weather arrived and then escape.
If they were unlucky, they would die, and the Great Tang would be littered with corpses.
"Your Majesty, this is the only way. Otherwise, more people will be infected with smalllessness, and the casualties will be even greater.”
As Zhangsun Wuji said this, the other officials also stood up.
"We agree!"
Although it was cruel, if he didn't make the right decision, he would sweep across the world and the entire Great Tang.
For the future of the Great Tang and to protect the people of the world, this was the only way.
Seal off the area and gather the patients to manage them. They are not allowed to move around freely and leave it to fate!
Li Shi Min's hands were trembling, his heart was filled with conflict, but in the end, he collapsed on the throne and let out a deep breath.
"Let's do it this way.”
Hearing Li Shi Min's words, the officials took a deep breath and bowed.
"We obey your orders!"
This matter was destined not to be recorded in the annals of history, because this decision was made by the officials of the court.
Among them were the officials of the imperial court, including Kong Yingda, the Confucius Sage.
This was why the history books would only write about this matter briefly.
A person's mistakes would be firmly recorded in the history books. Even if the emperor made a mistake, it would be difficult to change the history books. At most, it would be changed a little, and future generations could change it back.
However, this matter was decided by all the officials in the court.
As a result, no one would object, the law would not punish the masses, and the history books would not record the mistakes of the entire court, nor would they record them in the future.
This was because their descendants would continue to maintain their dignity.
That day, the imperial edict was issued!
"His Majesty has ordered! All the patients were to be managed in a unified manner. They were not to act rashly. Those who disobeyed the order would be beheaded!”
This news spread like a hurricane across the Great Tang.
Outside Chang 'an City, countless refugees were surrounded by the army, regardless of whether they were suffering from smalllessness or not.
They were all gathered on a large plain, surrounded by fully armed troops. Anyone who tried to resist would be killed on the spot.
More than 300,000 people were gathered here.
There was only a simple shed and a group of people squeezed together.
Even if he didn't get sick, he had to get sick. After all, he was living with a smallpox patient.
Countless people were fighting for it, but since the court had already given the order, this matter was set in stone!
Unless the small-flower was completely eliminated, these people would not be able to leave.
"The heavens want us dead!"
"Your Majesty, has Your Majesty given up on us?”
"It's over. We're all going to wait for death here!”
All the refugees were in despair. Some of them wanted to resist, but the end result was that they were killed on the spot.
The Imperial Court was serious. They had really been abandoned. If nothing unexpected happened, they would all die.
After all, if they were locked up with so many patients, they would be infected even if they didn't have the disease.
However, the medical facilities in ancient times were limited. Smallflower was a demon and a terminal illness.
They had no way to prevent it or detect it. They could only treat everyone equally and isolate all those who had come into contact with smalllessness patients before.
Outside Chang 'an City, complaints were everywhere.
Even when they stood by the city wall, they could hear the roars and cries outside.
"Humph!"
Ye Yun came to the edge of Chang 'an City and used some means to get to the city wall. Looking at the densely packed refugees outside, he snorted coldly.
Although this was the only way they could do it, Ye Yun still didn't like the idea of abandoning his people.
From Ye Yun's point of view, since they were your people, you should have the idea of living and dying with them.
Now that the country was in danger and millions of people were in danger, the last thing they should do was to protect themselves!
"The special medicine has been completed. In three days, we can produce enough in three days at most.”
Ye Yun looked at the refugees below and suddenly pointed at Li Lizhi.
"I, Ye Yun, will definitely save them!"
