Xu Churen suddenly felt a fever. He didn't expect that Li Yanqing would form a temporary political consultation hall now. Without Geng Nanzhong, Wu Min, Li Bangyan, and Bai Shizhong, Sun Fu, and Li Yanqing obviously excluded these people. Isn't this his chance?

Xu Churen secretly called himself stupid, but he even complained to Geng Nanzhong and others. He was the emperor and the ministers. If he didn't fight for it at this time, when would he wait? Even the eighty-year-old Cai Jingdu came, and he was still confused. He was only now aware that decades of political experience have lived on dogs.

Ai Churen suddenly figured it out and quickly smiled and said, "What Li Shaobao said is reasonable. The epidemic is like a mountain. We must act immediately, and we cannot wait for a moment. I suggest that all officials vote now to elect the candidates for the temporary political affairs hall."

Several other important officials, including Grand Secretary He Jiao, Minister of Personnel Li Qi, and Chief Censor Xu Han, all understood the opportunity and expressed their support for the establishment of the temporary political consultation hall.

Nearly two hundred officials voted in Ziwei Hall,

The voting rule is that each person can choose two people, secret ballots are implemented, and the Censor Xu Han monitored the votes. The result is really unexpected. One is that Li Yanqing was elected with a high vote of 180 votes, and Cai Jing, the second-ranked one, only got 63 votes, followed by Wu Ge, the Xuanzanshe clerk, who was only a seventh-ranked small official, ranked third, with 60 votes, only three votes less than Cai Jing. The Grand Secretary Xu Churen only got thirteen votes, barely ranked sixth, and squeezed into the temporary political hall.

Finally, according to the number of votes received, the prince's young guarantor Li Yanqing, her husband's prime minister Cai Jing, Xuanzan's son Wu Ge, the co-master Zheng Wangzhi, the Grand Secretary He Jiao, and the Grand Secretary Xu Churen formed a temporary political consultation hall to report to the Queen Mother for approval and exercise the power of the Zhizheng Hall.

Since there is no restrictions on official rank in the election rules, the election of Xuanzan Sheren Wu Ge is considered a dark horse, but this is just an informal temporary political hall, so no one particularly objected.

The establishment of the temporary government affairs hall marked the re-operation of the court that had been paused for a long time. The three major events they faced were: one was to submit documents to the states in the world, announce the victory of the defense battle in the capital, and at the same time announced the imperial edict of the empress dowager; the second major event was to welcome King Kang ascend the throne as soon as possible; the third major event was to fight the plague.

In the Secretariat Conference Hall, as the old prime minister, Cai Jing presided over the first discussion hall. Cai Jing sighed: "Yesterday, the Jin soldiers retreated northward, and today the temporary political hall was established. First of all, thank Li Shaobao for his great efforts to the court and the country in the past few months. Without Li Shaobao leading his army to fight against the Jin soldiers, I am afraid that everyone here will now be captured by the Jin soldiers."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "This is the credit of the entire army and the result of the unity of all officials in the court. It is not the merit of Li Yanqing alone. It is not too late now. Why don't we discuss the prevention and control of the plague first? To be honest, I am very worried!"

"Li Shaobao, is there anything unusual?" Zheng Wangzhi heard something in Li Yanqing's words.

Li Yanqing nodded, "At noon today, a suspected patient was found in Wuhuai Lane north of Daxiangguo Temple. He was a nine-year-old boy with vomiting and diarrhea, which was very similar to the early stage of the plague. After the truce yesterday, he and his three other children played outside for a day, drank raw water, and caught a crow and roasted it to eat."

Everyone was startled and Seo Churen asked anxiously: "Have you taken measures?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "The three children have been found, and their families are all isolated. Everyone knows that there are official rented houses in Wuhuai Lane, and the family is crowded in a room and living in a dense place. I am very worried that the crow will contact the Jin soldiers who died of illness outside the city?"

Everyone's hearts were hanging. The crow was eating dead human flesh, so it was difficult to ensure that it did not contact the sick dead.

Cai Jing asked: "How is the plague situation of the Jin soldiers outside the city? Does Li Shaobao understand?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Yesterday the army went out to clean the battlefield and roughly understand the plague situation of the Jin soldiers. The Jin soldiers have been infected with the plague for more than 10,000 people, and more than 3,000 people have died of illness. It can be said that the plague is the fundamental reason why the Jin soldiers were forced to retreat north, and the Jin soldiers retreated north and did not take away the sick."

Everyone looked at each other and Wu Ge said in surprise: "Isn't that just let these sick Jin soldiers die?"

"It is indeed waiting to die. The Jin soldiers did not have an effective means to prevent and control the plague. They only had one way to isolate them. They built an isolation camp, so all the sick soldiers were driven in to fend for themselves. When our army passed by, some seriously ill soldiers were climbing over the fences and trying to escape from the isolation camp. There were about 7,000 people inside. I heard that half of them had died, and it was very terrifying inside."

Everyone felt cold on their backs when they heard this, and He Jiao asked anxiously: "What will Li Shaobao plan to deal with this isolation camp?"

Li Yanqing sighed, "This isolation camp and the large camp of Jin soldiers were burned down by the Song soldiers. It has been burned to a white land. All the Jin soldiers in the camp have died. The problem now is that it took two hours to evacuate from the Jin soldiers to our army. I don't know how many sick Jin soldiers escaped from the isolation camp during these two hours. I have the nearby Guoqiao Town, Chenqiao Town, Qicheng Town, Pan Town, Fengqiu County, Changyuan County, Dongming County, Yangwu County, and Xuanzao County. I have sent troops and medical officers to search these places, and notify all residents to move eastward."

"What do we need to do?" Cai Jing asked.

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I have received the express report. The Jin soldiers who retreated north began to cross the Yellow River at noon today. In a short period of time, the Jin soldiers should not go south again. I want to take this opportunity to evacuate most of the Tokyo people to the south and reduce the number of people in the capital to about 200,000. This is not something I can decide personally. I hope everyone will pass it unanimously."

"Where can you evacuate?"

"We can set up evacuation points in Caizhou, Chenzhou and Yingzhou. If the people want to go to Jiangnan, we will not stop them. It is just that the court must do a good job in relief and medical treatment along the way, and we must never let the plague spread to the south."

Cai Jing nodded, "Everyone raise your hands to vote! If the evacuation resolution is passed, then make a plan immediately."

Everyone raised their hands, and all six agreed to Li Yanqing's evacuation proposal. Then they decided to take the lead in Xu Churen, assisted by Zheng Wangzhi and Wu Ge, and formulated an evacuation plan. They selected fifty officials and 1,000 Tai students to evacuate the people in the capital to evacuate the south. Li Yanqing allocated another 5,000 troops to assist, and the retreat time was set for the third day.

Cai Jing and He Jiao are responsible for the prevention and control of epidemics in the city. They organized 30 officials to participate in monitoring the changes in the epidemic situation in the city.

Li Yanqing was responsible for the prevention of epidemics on the outside and welcomed King Kang to succeed to the throne.

.........

Since the battlefield in Zhongmu County was the source of the plague, Zhao Gou had to go from Guancheng County, Zhengzhou to Tokyo Bianjing and then went eastward. They first went south to Changge County north of Yingchang Prefecture, and then headed along the Huimin River to Tokyo Bianliang in the northeast.

It was originally only two days away, but now it took four days to arrive. Of course, Zhao Gou was accompanied by more than a few dozen people. He led 20,000 Western Army from Jingzhao Prefecture to Bianliang in the name of serving the king, and joined forces with Liu Qi and Wang Gui in Guancheng County, Zhengzhou, and a total of 50,000 troops headed to Bianliang.

This time, the officials who entered Beijing with Zhao Gou also included Fan Zhixu, the governor of Shaanxi Fifth Road, Li Gang, the governor of Jingzhao, Wang Boyan, the governor of Tongzhou, Fan Zhixu and Li Gang were recommended to Zhao Gou by Li Yanqing. The two have entered Zhao Gou's circle of trust.

Zhang Hu led 500 cavalry to welcome Zhao Gou in Changge County. When everyone learned that the Jin soldiers had retreated north, they couldn't help but speed up and headed towards the capital.

The next afternoon, the army arrived in Yuchi County, which was about a hundred miles away from the capital. While everyone was resting in the county, they saw dust flying in the distance, and a cavalry was rushing toward from a distance.

Zhao Gou was shocked and urgently ordered the commander of the Western Army Wang Yuan and the commander of the Jingzhao Army Liu Qi to prepare for the battle. At this time, Wang Gui pointed to the distance and shouted: "It's not the Jin army, it's the battle flag of the Song army!"

Soon, a report soldier rushed to the city and whispered loudly: "Report to His Highness, King Kang, Tokyo Defense Envoy, and the Prince Young Guardian Li Du led three thousand cavalry to welcome His Highness to the capital!"

Zhao Gou was overjoyed and ordered the county gate to open and lead everyone to welcome him out of the city. Soon, three thousand cavalry stopped a mile away. Li Yanqing urged his horse to step forward, rolled over and dismount, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "My minister Li Yanqing, please see His Highness Kang!"

Zhao Gou hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yanqing up and comforted him: "Li Shaobao led his army to fight against the Jin Dynasty and saved the capital. He made contributions to the country and was the number one hero of my Song Dynasty!"

"Your Highness is too much, please follow your husband to the capital!"

Zhao Gou winked at Li Yanqing and asked in a low voice: "What's the situation in the capital?"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "The Empress Dowager has issued an order to inherit the throne by His Highness!"

A big rock fell in Zhao Gou's heart and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was most worried that the emperor's legitimate son, Prince Daning, would naturally ascend the throne to the emperor, so he had no hope. Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing finally paved the way for him.

Li Yanqing briefly told him that he had placed house arrest and asked Cai Jing to come out to stabilize the situation, and then went to the palace to ask the empress dowager to issue an order. At present, a temporary political party hall was formed to preside over the operation of the court.

Zhao Gou nodded repeatedly, and he was extremely moved and said to Li Yanqing in a low voice: "I, Zhao Gou, can have today, rely on the gift of the young security guard!"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "This is also the situation of the Song Dynasty that requires Your Highness. Please rest in the county town for a night. We will set out to Beijing tomorrow morning!"
