The group rushed to Jiannan Pass and climbed the Guan Tower.

I saw that outside the city, a large number of people were pouring in from all directions, probably refugees gathered from all over the city. According to a rough estimate, there are nearly 50,000 or 60,000 people. Among them were old and weak, women and children, as well as young men, and each of them had a dusty face, and it was evident that they had made a long journey to get here.

They gathered around the Guan Lou and called earnestly: "General Qi, let's go into the city." ”

Qi Fei, who cared about the people, was about to open the door, but was stopped by Governor Liu, he said: "General Qi, so many people poured into Quancheng at once, I am afraid that it will cause a riot." And there's nowhere to put them. ”

Qi Fei said: "Do you want them to stay in the wilderness and wait for dark? As soon as it gets dark, zombies may flock to Jiannan Pass! As for the question of resettlement, isn't there an open space between the outside of the city and Jiannan Pass?" We can build houses and settle the people. ”

Governor Liu said: "What the general said is easy, not to mention the problem of resettlement, the grain and grass in this spring city can only last for a month, and so many people have to be taken into account, I am afraid that in less than ten days, the food in the city will be exhausted." ”

Qi Fei said: "Your scruples, Lord Prefect, are not unreasonable, I will find a way to solve the problem of grain and grass." At present, the people should be allowed to enter the city as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the zombies wake up after dark. ”

Governor Liu said: "No. We have to think about the people of Springs. General Qi, you can't ignore the people of Quancheng. ”

Qi Fei said: "I can't ignore the people in the world. ”

The two were about to confront each other, when suddenly, the crown prince Zhu Cijiong pulled out his sword, put it on the neck of Governor Liu, and said: "I am the current prince, I order you to open the city gate immediately! Is it possible, you even want to disobey my words?"

Governor Liu trembled and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, how dare this official disobey?"

After that, I had to retreat.

With the crown prince's support, Qi Fei immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

Seeing this, the people knelt down and thanked General Qi and the prince for their great kindness. And Qi Fei looked into the distance, worried.

Once this Fujian Province becomes a zombie territory, can their small spring city be able to defend it?

Far in the Forbidden City in the north, on the splendid Jinluan Palace.

The courtiers were talking. Today, the emperor did not go to court.

Yushi Zuo Guangdou walked to the side of Zhao Nanxing, the first assistant of the cabinet, and said: "My lord, the emperor will not go to court today, and in the long run, we can no longer stand idly by." ”

Yang Lian, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Now the folds must be reviewed by Cao Shaoqin before being submitted to the emperor. This Cao thief dares to claim to be nine thousand years old!"

Zhao Nanxing said: "Hmph! A group of eunuchs dare to disturb the court. Come with me!"

In response, more than half of the courtiers followed him and came to the gate of the Qianqing Palace. Before he could go in, he was stopped by the brocade guard guarding the door.

"Without the order of Gonggong Cao, no one is allowed to disturb the emperor's retreat and cultivation. ”

Snort, little brocade guard. Zhao Nanxing glared disdainfully, wanting to break through. "I'm the head of the cabinet, you dare to stop me?"

Jin Yiwei immediately looked at each other. This cabinet chief assistant is equivalent to the prime minister of the dynasty, and he is a first-class official above 10,000 people under one person. Even Cao Shaoqin has to scruple about three points. No matter how arrogant Jin Yiwei is, he will not dare to even pay attention to the first assistant of the cabinet.

"Get out!" Zhao Nanxing pushed them away and led his ministers in, but he killed one person halfway and blocked in front of them. This man also raised his orchid fingers and spoke motherly. I really want to describe it, just like Wen Song in "Happy Comedian", Song Xiaobao's fellow brother.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the purpose of not staying in the Jinluan Palace, but breaking into His Majesty's bedroom?"

This person is Cao Shaoqin, he wears heavy makeup and a thick layer of powder on his face, but it can be seen that he is very young, probably in his 30s. He went from a little eunuch to a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and it took more than ten years of hard work. I have to sigh, this person's city government is extremely deep, otherwise, it would be impossible to become a big man in the Forbidden City in such a short period of time.

"Father-in-law Cao, I have something urgent to do, and I hope you will inform me. Zhao Nanxing was quite polite, and he didn't plan to tear his face with Dongchang at this time.

Cao Shaoqin said: "Lord Zhao, it's really unfortunate, the emperor is practicing the magic of immortality, if I rush in to report something, how can I afford it." Otherwise, a few adults, please come back. If there is anything, I can relay it to the emperor. ”

"You ......" Yang Lian was so angry that his beard turned up, "It's clear that you are bewitching the emperor to cultivate, you are a eunuch, you dare to gain power?!"

"Hee-hee. Cao Shaoqin was still smiling, a typical honey-bellied sword, and said, "Lord Yang said so, but he lifted me." I'm just a little minion, how can I get power. Besides, if the emperor wants to cultivate immortality, if he succeeds, wouldn't it be a blessing for my Ming Dynasty?"

Zhao Nanxing angrily reprimanded: "Since ancient times, how can there be such a thing as immortality!"

"Shhhh Cao Shaoqin made a fuss, pretended to look at the room nervously, and said, "Lord Zhao, if your words are heard by the emperor, you will be beheaded!"

"You ......" Zhao Nanxing was stunned for a while, this Cao Shaoqin actually moved out of the emperor. He said with a calm face: "Gonggong Cao, the Qi family army sent an urgent report of 800 miles, it is said that there is a plague in Fujian Province, and I request the support of the imperial court. This matter still needs to be decided by the emperor. Excuse me, my father-in-law, go in and report it. ”

Cao Shaoqin just wanted to say something, and a figure came out of the house.

Everyone in the courtyard suddenly knelt down in panic and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

This man is the Holy One today. He had just woken up, stretching, yawning, looking tired, and with two dark circles under his eyes.

When the emperor saw so many people in the courtyard, he was a little displeased, and said, "Shoufu, you brought all the ministers to Qianqing Palace, is there anything important?"

Zhao Nanxing hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, Qi Fei sent an urgent military situation. ”

The Emperor asked, "Could it be that the Japanese have invaded again?"

Zhao Nanxing said: "No, it's a plague in Fujian Province. ”

The emperor disagreed, and said, "It's just a plague, do you need to be so nervous?"

"Your Majesty. Zhao Nanxing hurriedly said: "This is not an ordinary plague. General Qi said that the plague was very contagious, and the symptoms were very strange. ”

"Oh?"

"It is said that this is called human plague, and those who get this plague will become immortal zombies. ”

"What?" the Emperor hurriedly asked, "Immortal zombies?"

He was very interested in the idea of immortality.

Zhao Nanxing said: "The zombie is a terrible monster that eats human flesh, and it will only die if it attacks its head. ”

The Emperor was shocked, "And such a terrible plague?"

At this time, Cao Shaoqin said: "Your Majesty, since the human plague is so terrible, I think that the plague should be controlled within Fujian Province and cannot be spread anymore." ”

The emperor hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Qinzi, what you said is reasonable. Immediately give the order. Blockade the border of Fujian Province, strictly prohibit entry and exit!"

Zhao Nanxing said again: "Your Majesty, if this Spring City is besieged by zombies, how would it be good." ”

Cao Shaoqin said: "Your Majesty, Quancheng should also be isolated. If the people of Quancheng get into the human plague, and then spread to the mainland, the world will be in danger. ”

Zhao Nanxing hurriedly said: "The emperor must not." It is reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on his way to Quancheng, and if Quancheng is blocked, the safety of the Prince and others cannot be guaranteed. ”

"Your Majesty, although the crown prince is important, the people of the world are even more important!"

Cao Shaoqin and Zhao Nanxing competed against each other, each with their own plans. One clearly wanted to trap the prince in Quancheng, just waiting for him to be attacked by zombies and killed together with Quancheng. The other is to support the prince and complete the plan to eradicate the eunuchs.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The two sides quarreled back and forth, and the emperor felt upset.

"Stop arguing. I want to be quiet!"

At this moment, "Your Majesty!"

I saw the queen walking over with her maid, she had a big belly and was five months pregnant. Supported by the maid, he walked slowly. This queen is very young and is not the biological mother of the crown prince. She was originally a noble concubine in the harem, but after the death of the old queen, she was favored again, so she naturally became the queen of God.

"See the Queen's Mother. The crowd hurriedly greeted him.

The queen looked at Zhao Nanxing and the other ministers and said, "What is your intention to disturb the emperor's Qing cultivation?" ”

Zhao Nanxing hurriedly said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the situation is really urgent. We have no choice but to do it. ”

The queen scolded angrily: "Don't say it, don't you hurry up and retreat!"

She said to the emperor again, "Your Majesty, I'll help you go in and rest." ”

The emperor had a headache, so she helped him in.

And the queen took the opportunity to exchange glances with Cao Shaoqin, and the thoughts of the two of them were self-evident. This queen had long been in cahoots with Cao Shaoqin, and without her help, it would be difficult for Cao Shaoqin to turn the emperor into a puppet with Cao Shaoqin's strength.

Seeing this, Zhao Nanxing had no choice but to lead his ministers to leave.
