56. The little eunuch

Half a month later, Jing Yao's condition finally improved, but the number of plague patients in the capital increased day by day.

While Xu Jinyi stabilized Jingyao's condition, the doctors of Hetai Hospital studied the prescription for the treatment of the plague every day, adding, deleting, deleting, revising, modifying, and finally prescribing a medicine that could treat the plague.

At this time, the number of people infected with the plague in the capital had risen to a very terrible number, and the beggars who lacked food and clothing, and the living conditions were dirty and poor, followed by ordinary people, and many of the high-ranking officials and nobles also had symptoms of low-grade fever. Even though Xu Jinyi went back to Cheng's house every day to take a look, and gave Cheng's father a prescription with preventive effects, and told Cheng's father not to forget to let the people in the house boil soup to drink every day, the old and frail Mrs. Cheng's pharynx was still swollen and painful.

Demand immediate action!

As soon as the prescription came out, after the test of death row prisoners who were plagued, the results were better than ever. Xu Jinyi immediately released the prescription, and wealthy families could boil their own medicinal soup, and those who had no money to buy medicine could also go to the street with a bowl to get the medicinal soup for free.

The number of corpses being disposed of by the government is becoming less and less, and the symptoms of plague among sick people continue to decrease, both inside and outside the palace.

Two months later, the last patient with the plague finally recovered, and the plague finally withdrew from the stage of history, and the lives of the people gradually returned to normal order.

"Send these charges down, so that my civil and military officials can take a good look!" For the first time after the plague, Jing Yao didn't wait for everyone to start playing, and took the lead in speaking.

Plagues usually occur after natural disasters such as droughts and floods, ground movements, etc., and when this plague broke out, there were no natural disasters in Daliang.

Even more precisely, this plague broke out in the palace, first the people who served in the Qianqing palace fell ill, and then it spread to Jing Yao.

It's so weird, how can you not make Jing Yao suspicious?

Therefore, as soon as Jing Yao was cured, he immediately sent his men to investigate this inexplicable plague.

As soon as Empress Yuan died, his grandfather handed over all the connections in his hands to him, and now this group of contacts has developed for more than 20 years, and Jing Yao's secret power has become so huge that ordinary people can't imagine. Even though this plague has covered up many traces, Jing Yao's people in the dark still found out the initiator of this plague.

Tatsu King!

Sure enough, it's King Chen! For the sake of the throne, he couldn't even care about his mother who lived in Cining Palace.

Jing Yao's face was as gloomy as ink, but the corners of his mouth were hooked, and the tails of his narrowed eyes were full of cold smiles.

When everyone saw a pile of evidence, even the most important old pedant on weekdays, couldn't help but blush, hoping that the emperor could tie up King Chen and give him a Ling Chi punishment with a knife!

Fighting for the throne is fighting for the throne, why bother to be so gloomy, and actually use such a means as the plague!

King Chen's good calculations are already clear to everyone at a glance.

This plague has not only been for the sake of harming the emperor alone.

What King Chen wants is the life of the emperor and their civil and military officials.

After Jing Yao ascended the throne, he sent King Chen and all the officials loyal to King Chen to Jiangnan. Although Jiangnan has been a land of abundance since ancient times, the treasury of Daliang is not empty, and Jing Yao does not plan to rely on Jiangnan to earn silver, but only asks King Chen to pay enough taxes to the court every year.

Moreover, although Jiangnan is a rich land, the soldiers and horses there are very poor, even if King Chen has been camping in Jiangnan for fifty years, the people in his hands may not be worthy of the power of the Northwest Army.

Jing Yao hated the former emperor's partiality, but when he finally sat on the throne, he found out that the first emperor had divided the fief of King Chen in Jiangnan, which was actually a big trouble for him.

In this way, after Jing Yao seized the throne, because of "not killing siblings", he had to send King Chen and his supporters to Jiangnan, and as for other important positions, Jing Yao used all officials loyal to him.

This is especially true in the capital.

The plague created by King Chen is a good idea to kill three birds with one stone.

One is intended to murder Jing Yao. The second is to murder the civil and military officials who are loyal to Jing Yao in the capital, and the third is that the plague first spread from the palace and even from Jing Yao, and then to the civil and military officials. How could the civil and military officials who were lucky enough to survive this plague still be loyal to the emperor who let them pass away in the ghost gate?

At that time, without King Chen doing it himself, Jing Yao and the civil and military officials have already begun to fight each other.

What a poisonous ploy!

Perhaps before Jing Yao said that the evidence was sent, the civil and military officials had secretly complained about the source of the plague - Jing Yao, but when these officials saw this evidence, they had already transferred all their anger to King Chen.

After all, Jing Yao, like them, is a victim of this plague, and those of them who are reused by Jing Yao are not fools, and they will not tolerate the initiators, and go to anger Jing Yao, who is also a victim.

"Your Majesty, King Chen's move, ignoring the people of the dawn, endangering the lives of the people in the world, the prince should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the ministers will ask the emperor to severely punish King Chen!" The prime minister who was promoted by Jing Yao bowed down and bowed.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

With the prime minister taking the lead, civil and military officials knelt down to second.

Seeing the civil and military ministers kneeling all over the ground in the hall, Jing Yao finally hooked his lips, "Since all Aiqing said so, come here, spread my will, and King Chen will return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

King Chen, you are really stupid, with such a destructive means of yours, how can the courtiers be convinced? If your courtiers are not convinced, how can they be loyal to you?

The courtiers can only send you two words, scheming and vicious, and it is useless!

It's really a loss for the lady and a soldier!

======

"Master, madam, the emperor is here."

"The emperor is here again?" Father Cheng and Zhuge Rou spoke in unison, and then looked at each other.

Zhuge Rou twisted the handkerchief in his hand into a flower, his cherry mouth was tightly pursed, and he finally opened his mouth after a long time, "Tell the kitchen, today's meal is more sumptuous." ”

"Yes." The servant watched his nose and nose, and when he heard Zhuge Rou's command, he immediately retreated cautiously.

Zhuge Rou personally poured a cup of tea for Cheng's father, "Master? ”

Father Cheng took it, but he didn't have the heart to drink, his gloomy face lasted for a full two quarters of an hour, and then he finally let out a long sigh, "That's it, we can't control the affairs of Zishi and the emperor, and we can't manage it." ”

Zhuge Rou waited for a long time to say such a sentence, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, "Kezi is really a man, the emperor is him, how can he?" ”

"Humph!" Father Cheng slapped the table vigorously, "I think he's very happy!" ”

This he naturally refers to Xu Jinyi.

Zhuge Rou remembered her son's expression that softened unconsciously in front of the emperor, and her forehead suddenly hurt badly, so she could only rub it gently with her slender hands.

The son disappeared out of thin air, and although he returned safely half a year later, Cheng's father was still frightened. Fearing that Xu Jinyi would disappear again without knowing it, he thought for a long time, and secretly sent someone to guard Xu Jinyi's courtyard.

Jing Yao came to Cheng's Mansion to meet Xu Jinyi in three days, how could Cheng's father's people not notice the abnormality? Not to mention, Jing Yao had no intention of hiding it, and even deliberately let Cheng's father's people find out about the relationship between him and Xu Jinyi.

Cheng's father learned about this from his subordinates, and was shocked that Cheng DΓΉ was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but he didn't have time to find Xu Jinyi to find out about it, and Xu Jinyi had already entered the palace without hesitation for Jing Yao's illness.

At that time, the situation was critical, and although Cheng's father knew that his son was a skilled doctor, he was unwilling to let his son take risks. But even though he stopped him many times, Xu Jinyi still insisted on going his own way.

Later, the emperor recovered, and the plague disaster in Beijing gradually improved, and the two of them did not shy away from it, either Xu Jinyi went to the palace, or Jing Yao came to Cheng's house, except for the two hours of work in the early dynasty, the emperor and his son were together all the time! .

Before the plague, Jing Yao only came at night, and left his son's courtyard early in the morning, and Cheng's father couldn't see the situation of the two with his own eyes, and he could still deceive himself.

And now? The emperor is actually staying for dinner in the open!

And don't just keep the meal! After the early dynasty, before he returned home, the emperor had already arrived in his son's courtyard, and at noon the son dined with the old father and mother, the emperor did not shy away from it, followed his son step by step, and accompanied everyone in Chengfu to dine together. The same goes for dinner.

It was enough to stay in his son's courtyard during the day, and the emperor still did not return to the palace at night. I heard from the subordinates that the emperor and the young master were always in the same room at night, and when it was time to go, the emperor left the young master's room.

Two people sleeping in the same room, what else can they not do?

When Father Cheng thought of this, he almost wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

In the past, Cheng's father was just a petty official with a low official position, and he could only rank at the end of the civil and military officials team when he was in the last dynasty.

Until Xu Jinyi prescribed a prescription for the plague, saving the lives of tens of thousands of people, and saving the lives of those officials and their families.

Cheng's father's status instantly became transcendent.

Those officials who were unattainable in the past have become very amiable at this time, and the bosses and colleagues who have invited him to a small gathering are scrambling, and the invitations to the door are constantly being handed over day by day.

Everybody said, "Brother Xian, you have a good son." ”

Where do they understand his suffering? He does have a good son, but this good son is about to be abducted by the emperor!

The emperor's reward was sent down, and the ears were filled with the endless congratulatory voices of the bureaucrats, but in front of him was Xu Jinyi, who was hugged by the emperor, and Cheng's father really couldn't say it.

The son is not only his only son-in-law, but also his only child, the only seedling of the Cheng family's three generations, if he is favored by the emperor, how can the bloodline of the Cheng family continue?

This is a broken child! How to make him face his father? How to make him face the fathers and fathers?

Cheng's father once mustered up enough courage, even if that person was a ninety-five venerable who could ambush millions of corpses in a fit of anger, if his son was unwilling, he would fight his best to stop the emperor.

But the son actually has that kind of affection for the emperor? Even the love is deep-rooted, and he can never give up when the emperor is infected with the plague, and after the emperor recovers from his illness, he is like glue.

How can he stop it?

The more Father Cheng thought about it, the more angry he became, so he casually picked up the teacup on the table and smothered it into his stomach.
