"Urgent report-urgent report-Yuezhou epidemic, Yuezhou epidemic-urgent report-urgent report-"

The cold city gate has just opened, and it is expected to be cold in spring, and it is not long after the New Year, and it is still the time when the water is dripping into ice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the Imperial Forest Army defending the city was only for a while, their hands and feet were frozen, and their hands were slightly red, but even so, no one dared to move to relieve it. The smoke of the cooking in the city is only a few houses rising at this time, and more people are still asleep. In the Xuanshu Palace, there were only a few little eunuchs cleaning before the court meeting, and in the capital, it was as usual, but it was not like usual.

However, only half an hour later, the courtiers were all there, and in the center of the hall, there was a small soldier kneeling, with three feathers behind him, shaking everyone's hearts. Emperor Yue sat upright on the main hall, although he was woken up, but at this time there was no trace of sleep, and the depressed atmosphere surged in this Xuanshu Palace.

"You tell me what is going on, how there was a sudden epidemic in Yuezhou. Emperor Yue's gloomy voice resounded in the hall.

"Back to Your Majesty, the epidemic has shown signs last year, but now it has expanded a lot, and the royal governor has also had a few folds, but for some reason, the imperial court has not responded, and now the epidemic has begun to spread in the army, and the governor can only isolate the sick sergeants alone, but the military doctors are helpless, and I hope that Your Majesty can sympathize with the soldiers and send some imperial doctors, so as not to lose too much of the sergeants, damage the combat effectiveness, and the army's heart is unstable. The little soldier who came to recount the contents of the fold, and as soon as he finished speaking, many people in the hall gasped.

"I know, you retreat first, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, and never let the soldiers suffer, you first take some medicinal materials back to Yuezhou for emergency relief, and the others will come later, retreat." Emperor Yue waved his hand, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

"Yes, the minister retired. ”

After the soldiers withdrew from the main hall for a long time, Emperor Yue still did not say a word, the atmosphere was even more gloomy, and cold sweat had already oozed from the foreheads of many people, because today was not a big court meeting, and the people present were more than three things and the chief officials stood in the hall. Because of this, people who know the inside story have already sweated like rain, including the prince.

"Prince. Emperor Yue finally spoke, but when the prince heard it, it was indeed as if he heard the sound of asking for his life, and his hands gradually trembled.

"Recently, although you have done things inappropriately, but after all, you are the prince of a country, I still trust you, although you have not done well in some places, but I remember that you have repentance, exempted from your punishment, and still entrusted you with important tasks, and still handed over some state affairs to you first, although you have not done great work recently, but you are also decent, but today..."Emperor Yue's voice suddenly raised, and the fold in his hand fell heavily in front of the prince, and the prince fell to the ground at once," Explain to me how this is all about, and that's how you repay my trust!"

"Erchen... Erchen really didn't know about it, Erchen had never seen this fold before, thinking about it, thinking that it was the negligence of the people below, Erchen only knew about it today, and hoped that his father would investigate. The prince shouted that he had been wronged.

"You've never seen it, but Wang Zhu said that he had a few folds, could it be that you haven't seen these folds!" Emperor Yue's muscles burst out, obviously already angry.

"Erchen... Erchen..."The prince's sweat dripped on the floor, "Erchen has indeed never seen the situation in Yuezhou, I think the second brother is more familiar than me." ”

"Second brother, are you thinking of your second brother? Why didn't you write this situation into the general chen?" The coldness in Emperor Yue's words added a little coldness to the hall.

"Back to Your Majesty, few of the military's excerpts go to Menxia Province, most of them go directly to the Holy Hearing, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has previously instructed Yuezhou's excerpts to be sent directly to the East Palace, and we can't see Yuezhou's excerpts, and naturally we can't know about it, this matter is a dereliction of duty in Menxia Province, and I hope Your Majesty will punish it. The province immediately came out to clear up the relationship.

And these words gave the prince a head-on blow, which shows that the prince knew about these situations early on, but did not report them, and did it intentionally, no matter what, the prince and this matter are inseparable.

Li Niancun stood silently aside, he was just a substitute secretary of the Criminal Department, and he was only the face that the emperor left for the prince. Even if the prince offended the Guo family, he lost the punishment department and was punished with confinement. But in the end, Emperor Yue still remembered that he was the prince, and he did not do it, and sent the person recommended by the prince to the position of the secretary of the criminal department, and he is also the youngest one in the book today, and the pronoun has never been removed, and he has no right to speak.

Looking at the prince who was still a little crazy, Li Niancun shook his head. Although Li Niancun didn't know what was hidden in it, even he could see that the prince and this matter were inevitably inseparable. Just concealing the situation and not reporting it, causing a big epidemic, this prince can be regarded as the end. Now that the prince has begun to bite at will, Emperor Yue is especially easy to fool, but this is not the prince now, why did the prince start to bite at will?

The hundred turns and thousands of turns in Li Niancun's heart will naturally not be known to outsiders. Emperor Yue's face became more and more ugly, and the King of Chu looked around, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but when the King of Chu's gaze swept over Li Niancun on the side, he clearly saw Li Niancun shaking his head at him.

King Chu had a doubt in his heart, and then looked at the eyes of other people in the court, those Confucians who usually regarded themselves as high and never stood on the side were all full of righteous indignation, and seeing that someone was about to come out to speak for him, his mind changed, and he kept his eyebrows low and no longer spoke.

"Your Majesty. "An old gentleman in some old clothes stood up, it was Nan Fei of the historian's family, he was older, after three dynasties, he was upright, never tended to be inflammatory, and he hated the person who reversed black and white the most in this life, and it is said that there were several times when he didn't even give face to Emperor Yue, and he was a very respectful old gentleman, but he stood up at this time," The old minister felt that this Yuezhou was nominally the fief of the king of Chu, but the whole world was not the king's land, and the shore of the land was not the king's minister, and besides, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had always been a remote leader, and all the affairs of this Yuezhou were handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the magistrates.

Only then did the prince react, but Nan Fei's words blocked his two ends again. If you say that you don't see it, it is slackness in government affairs, and the prince's image in Emperor Yue is already bad, but now it is even worse, maybe it is the last straw that breaks the camel's back. If you say that you see it, but you don't report it, then the crowd will be excited, and your position as the crown prince will be done. In this way, isn't it already embattled now?

Look at the courtiers again, Zhu Yue fell, the Zhang family's vitality was greatly damaged, he had wronged the Guo family before, and he had offended the nobles in the court, and even Li Niancun, who was promoted to the top by himself, did not even have the appearance of wanting to stand out for himself, and his own prince finally came to an end.

Emperor Yue looked at the reaction of the courtiers and understood that the crown prince had lost everyone's support, and it would be useless to stay, even if he was the only concubine, but now even the support of the most orthodox Confucians has been lost, this prince...

There was a dead silence in the court, and Emperor Yue cleared his throat and asked, "Do you Aiqing have a good plan to put my people out of the water?"

Emperor Yue spoke, but the prince was still kneeling on the ground, his expression was gloomy, and when the courtiers saw this situation, they had already understood seven or eight points in their hearts, and above the court, there were joys and sorrows. But for Emperor Yue's question, everyone looked at each other.

Standing in front of him, the Chinese book Ling Ni Zheng stood up and said: " Back to Your Majesty, the situation in the epidemic area is not clear now, how many people have been affected by the disaster, and how wide the affected area is, are still being counted, however, according to the previous experience, the patients should be isolated from the non-sick first, to prevent the epidemic from continuing to expand, and more imperial doctors should be sent, as well as medicinal materials, priority will be sent to Yuezhou, temporarily increase the investigation of the pipeline from Yuezhou to the capital, so as not to bring the epidemic to the capital in large numbers, in view of the fact that the incident is not reported in time, His Majesty should also send a messenger to personally go to the disaster relief, preferably a prince, to show that His Majesty attaches great importance to them and stabilize the people's hearts。 ”

Ni Zheng is still a capable virtuous minister, and he also thinks about Emperor Yue and the people, but after hearing this, Emperor Yue pondered. In fact, what Ni Zheng said was right, the first few policies were all the experience that Ni Zheng had personally summarized in the epidemic area before, and Emperor Yue believed in Ni Zheng's ability. Just sent the prince to the epidemic area, in fact, Emperor Yue also understood that there must be a prince to go in person to appease the negative impact caused by the prince, but the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he is a little reluctant.

"Ni Aiqing is reasonable, let the pharmacies and imperial doctors in the capital prepare first, and Yuezhou will also send people to expedite it, so that Governor Li will deal with it first, so that the epidemic must be stabilized and the people appeased. As for you," Emperor Yue looked at the crown prince kneeling on the ground, full of anger, "Where is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?"

Li Niancun walked out from the middle, "Dai Shangshu Li Niancun exists." ”

"You have to check this matter to me, you must give it to me, and you must give an explanation to the people of the world, if this matter is done well, this pronoun can naturally be removed, you can understand. ”

This is to give up the prince to stabilize the people's hearts, and to give an explanation to the world through the prince, Li Niancun naturally knows it. Usually, the princelings are even more dead-hearted, and the people with lively minds have begun to find a new master. It was clear to everyone that this matter had annoyed the emperor, and that another purge was about to be ushered in in the court.

"I understand. ”

Emperor Yue thought for a while, looked at the prince, and said: "From now on, the defense of the East Palace will be taken over by the forbidden army, and everyone should not go out, waiting for the investigation of the Criminal Department. ”

This is the real highlight, the explicit decree to ban the East Palace is already equivalent to the explicit decree of the abolished prince. The people present still have doubts, why the prince is not derelict in his duties, and he has to abolish the prince and give an explanation to the world. It wasn't until the results of the investigation of the Criminal Department came out that everyone woke up like a dream and looked at the majestic palace that they realized that His Majesty didn't know his own details, but he didn't usually say it, and he knew it very well in his heart.

Invisibly, Emperor Yue took advantage of this to beat a group of self-proclaimed smart courtiers, eliminating their idea of fishing in troubled waters, and the atmosphere of officialdom was invisibly much better. Of course, that's all for later.
