Nothing like that.
These ministers are all like human beings, how can they be so kind?
Zichan saw it in his eyes, and he knew all this very well.
They are not afraid of the spread of the disease, but they are clearly afraid that their own interests will be damaged.
After all, once the four gates are reopened, on the one hand, if the disease breaks out again in the city, then there will be a greater chance that they themselves or their tribesmen in Zhengyi will become infected.
On the other hand, if word of Zheng Yi's illness spreads to the countryside, will their feudal towns still be safe? Won’t we also suffer losses by then?
So, do you want to say that these ministers are thinking about the people in the city? It would be better to say that they all have their own agendas and just keep shouting at Gongsun Hei.
Moreover, they did not know that this so-called "disease" was not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster.
Therefore, in their consciousness, the rapid spread of this disease is really too terrifying. It would be good if several high-risk areas in the west and south of the city could be controlled in time. But once the city gate is opened, pedestrians will flow, and there is no telling where the news will reach.
They may not care about the life and death of others, but when it comes to their own interests, they care more than anyone else.
This is probably their psychological activity at the moment.
Zichan and Hanhu looked at each other without trace, and both shook their heads slightly, with helpless expressions on their faces.
Neither Zichan nor Hanhu could oppose Sihei's proposal on this occasion.
Because Si Hei's topic and his words can be said to be a vivid interpretation of the brilliance of human nature and the nobleness of morality. Even people like Zichan and Hanhu cannot find any flaws in it.
And all the ministers naturally chose to side with Si Hei for the sake of the present.
If Si Hei's proposal itself is not that important, then the seconding of other ministers requires Han Hu to handle it more carefully.
After all, "there is strength in numbers." This proverb can actually be used anywhere. For five thousand years in China, this sentence says it all.
Although Han Hu is the noble chief minister of the country, and Zichan is the ruling minister, but in the face of the current one-sided court situation, what they can do is actually very limited.
Just like the current situation, when almost everyone agreed with Sihei's proposal, even though he Hanhu had been supporting Zichan, he had to temporarily change his mind at this time.
"Zi Chan, what do you think?"
So he cleverly put the question back to Zichan. After all, Zichan was the minister in power. How to decide on this matter would ultimately depend on his opinion.
Hearing the sound, Zichan certainly understood what Hanhu meant.
Since everyone in the court had opinions about continuing to ban the four gates, if he insisted on lifting the ban alone, he would naturally offend all the officials in the court.
Han Hu asked him to express his position at this time. In fact, it was to give him a step forward and not to make the matter deadlocked in front of all the officials.
"Back home, since all the officials think that continuing the ban is the best policy, what else can the overseas Chinese say?"
Now all the ministers and officials are asking for the continuation of the ban. No matter how capable Zichan is, he will never be able to cause such public outrage.
Although Zichan already knew the ins and outs of this situation, he could only go with the flow at the moment.
On the other hand, Si Hei is a person who can't hide things after all. After succeeding this time, his face, which was full of flesh and blood, immediately showed a rather proud look.
His smile gradually grew, his eyes swept over him, and he became even more arrogant.
"In this case, we will not make any changes for the time being. In addition, we also ask Dr. Zichan to do his best to completely control the spread of the disease in the shortest possible time!"
The pressure on Han Hu can also be imagined. This position of being the leader of the country is really not easy to hold.
…
After the court meeting was over, Han Hu privately sent someone to find Zichan again and invited him to come to Han Mansion to talk. The two sat down in the courtyard of Han Mansion and talked in secret:
"Uncle Shi, Tiger is a little worried now. I wonder if Uncle Shi is confident that he can cope with the current situation?"
There was no one around, but the words "Uncle Shi" made the two of them particularly close.
Just because of today's court discussion, Wu Hujian Zichan has always been relatively weak today, and has not shown the courage to speak the truth that he had in the past. Therefore, I couldn't help but feel a little worried about him.
"Thank you Zipi for your concern. Qiao is fine."
"This matter is still under Qiao's control, please rest assured Zipi."
Of course, Zichan's show of weakness was not without reason. He naturally had his reasons for doing so.
It's just that the time is not ripe at the moment, so of course he can't say it casually.
Han Hu couldn't help but nodded and said:
"If so, that would be great."
"But... these days, rumors are spreading in the city, which is very detrimental to Uncle Shi. Hu has also sent people to investigate secretly, but unfortunately little has been found."
"Someone must have done this on purpose. Uncle Shi, please be more careful."
Han Hu's keen political sense also allowed Han Hu to quickly realize that this disease may not be as simple as ordinary people see.
However, due to his status as a leader, he cannot be on the front line. And the current situation is extremely complicated. There is all kinds of information and gossip, it is simply dazzling. Therefore, all these made him appear to be at a loss as to what to do.
However, his many years of experience in politics told him that there were many obstacles to investigating this whole matter. That must be because there must be another story behind all this.
Therefore, he was also kindly reminding Zichan, hoping that he could take care of everything step by step and not expose any flaws, so as not to allow others to take advantage of him.
"Well, what Zipi said is absolutely true, and Qiao has always felt this way. Everything needs to be handled with caution."
"Since the ban is continuing, at least on the surface, it is pretty good for the people of Zhengyi. But if someone deliberately stirs up trouble secretly, overseas Chinese should be dealt with strictly."
"only…"
At this point, Zichan seemed a little embarrassed and could not continue.
Han Hu waved his hand and said:
"Uncle Shi, it's okay to say it."
When Zichan heard the sound, he sighed:
"It's just that if someone really did this deliberately, then his power will be very deep in Zheng. Now, in Zheng Yi, there are only a handful of people with this kind of power."
"As the saying goes, a single move can affect the whole body. Even if the matter can be found out by then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely dig out the behind-the-scenes. What is the intention of Zipi?"
In fact, both he and Han Hu knew in their hearts that the so-called malaria was man-made.
But the difficulty is that even if they all understand that this is man-made, they can't explain it clearly on the table.
This is very similar to what Li Ran experienced in the Lu State. Even though Li Ran and Shusun Bao knew that the assassin of the former crown prince Ji Ye was the Ji family who had deep roots in the Lu State, what they could do was still very limited.
The situations Zichan and Hanhu are encountering now are generally similar.
"Sigh... This matter is really difficult to handle..."
Han Hu sighed slightly, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
After a while of silence, he suddenly asked:
"By the way, where is Li Ran in the city? Have you told him about this?"
"To be honest, this matter was investigated by him, and he was just in the middle to provide support."
Zichan handed it over and looked a little ashamed.
Han Hu was startled when he heard the sound, and then suddenly said:
"I see…"
"If that's the case, why don't you ask his opinion again, Uncle Shi?"
