Chapter 314: Trade-offs
Jiang Yu reined in his horse and saw that those people ran outside the city gate and were anxious to enter the city, but they were stopped by the city defenders and asked for directions.
Those people suddenly panicked and kept looking back, "We are defecting to relatives, we originally lived in Tongzhou, and now we are less than 100 miles away from our hometown, where do we come from?" ”
The defender frowned, the man was clearly lying.
The defenders of the city were about to interrogate carefully, but one of them couldn't hold back and shouted, "There is a plague, quick, let us enter the city, the plague is coming." ”
Where did the epidemic come from, there has never been such news into Beijing, and the defenders of the city were about to scold those homeless people for talking nonsense, when they saw a person dressed as a servant riding a fast horse all the way and raising the paperwork in his hand, "Get out of the way, there is an urgent document into Beijing, get out of the way." ”
The gates of the city were immediately opened, and the servants rode in quickly.
The outcasts wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the city, and the defenders of the city drew their knives mercilessly.
"Master, master......" The little guy called twice, and Jiang Yu came back to his senses.
"Sir, where are we going?"
Jiang Yu gritted his teeth.
"Master, the little ones in Zhuangzi have been there, so don't go." The little guy reached out and took Jiang Yu's horse.
Jiang Yu raised his head and looked at the little guy.
But the little guy was unmoved.
Such a hint made Jiang Yu suddenly understand that this was a reminder to him.
Jiang Yu asked the little guy to lead the horse all the way back to the house, and then beckoned the man aside to talk.
"Master, you may not remember the little one, the small one is the subordinate of the second room, and after the second master of the second room spoke for the old lady of the long room and was exiled, we people have nowhere to go. And he returned to his clan. ”
Jiang Yu seemed to have been reminded, and immediately remembered the second room's affection for the long room.
"Master, I don't know about the other little ones. Do you still remember why the third master of the second room gave his biological daughter to someone else as a concubine? ”
Because the Jiang family was wronged, Jiang Li tried his best to take the path of King Duan and gave Jiang Yuzhen to King Duan.
Everyone should try their best to overturn the case for the Jiang family, in fact, it has always been the two brothers in the second room who have secretly exerted force, and now that the two brothers in the second room are gone, the Jiang family is left with him to be in charge.
He couldn't live without an idea.
Jiang Yu's eyes swept past the faces of Jiang Li and Jiang Yuzhen. Soon I remembered Sister Yan who was lying on the bed and dying.
It was as if his heart had been cut in half, and he didn't know where to go.
……
"It's a flood and drought epidemic from Jiangning."
Wan Ning listened to He Ying's announcement, "The paperwork has entered the capital. The second master has already entered the palace. ”
Wan Ning put down the medical book in her hand and held back her heart, "How is Jizhou?" Is there any specific news? ”
He Ying said in a low voice: "The displaced people are already outside the city, and it seems that the epidemic should spread very badly." ”
The disease spread to Jizhou. Soon it will be Suncheon.
Wan Ning nodded. instructed He Ying, "It's okay at home, you go to wait for the second master outside the palace." ”
He Ying bent down and retreated.
The epidemic from Jiangning was like the one in the Taizu period, it was menacing, and there was a situation that could not be controlled, and it only took half a month to spread from Jiangning to Jizhou.
Only a few hours after the news reached the capital, many people asserted that it was a "great epidemic." ”
What the imperial court has to do now is not only to prevent and control epidemics, but more importantly, to defend the passes on the frontier so that the Fan tribe will not take the opportunity to start a war.
Zhang Qicheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This is the king of heaven and the end of the day.
At this time, there was an epidemic. The situation will be chaotic, not to mention that the epidemic has reached Jizhou, which is so close to Shuntian.
Originally, Chen Wenshi was in Xuanfu. I'm afraid that the terms negotiated with Warat can't agree to it, after all, Chen Wenshi is a victorious general, and Warat people are fearful, but if he can borrow the momentum of the epidemic, it will be very different.
Who doesn't want to fish in troubled waters.
The opportunity they were waiting for came.
Nanzhili was greedy for ink, Fujian Zhao'an pirates, and Qingzhang land did not make the court chaotic, but no one could help this epidemic.
Zhang Qicheng suddenly became excited, they had been suppressed by Cui Yiting for too long, and they were finally about to turn over.
He'd been holding his breath for too long.
……
The news of the plague reached the palace, and the emperor summoned Xia Daxue and others into the palace, and the cabinet compared the documents of the plague in the time of Taizu with the current situation.
Some people say that Jiangning is hiding the epidemic, and some people say that it is the land of Qingzhang that makes people panic.
The affairs of Jiangning are also linked to the turmoil of the ministry.
The implementation of the new policy has once again been pushed to the forefront.
In fact, Cui Yiting doesn't have to be so anxious in the land of Qingzhang in Fujian, which dynasty and which generation of the new policy is not implemented slowly, Cui Yiting is young after all, and he instigated the emperor to use heavy canons.
The Great Confucian could not assert the plague, but he led the topic to the New Deal, saying what "Zhang is not chi, and the civil and military are also capable; Relaxed but not relaxed, civil and military for the also. ”
When the emperor heard this, Qingjin suddenly jumped out of his forehead, "Blame everything on the New Deal, floods, droughts and epidemics, that is God is not beautiful, I see, no wonder Cui Yiting, because I am the Son of Heaven, if you want to blame, you can only blame me for losing morality." ”
The emperor used the word immorality to speak for a courtier, which is unheard of.
The courtiers in the Heart Cultivation Hall all knelt down in fear.
As long as the emperor is there, it seems that nothing can affect Cui Yiting's career.
Everyone in the capital is already aware of the plague, and now the most important thing is to stabilize the situation in Fujian.
The officials also elected a few candidates before, but when they heard that there was a plague, everyone had a tacit understanding and kept their mouths.
The emperor silently asked the cabinet to make a comeback, and several officials such as Xia Daxue were held back all night and released from the palace at dawn.
Wan Ning also met Cui Yiting at this time.
Cui Yiting took off his official uniform outside, and the clothes inside were a little wet, so you can imagine what it would be like to stand in the south study all night in such a hot weather.
Wan Ning put the prepared clothes on Cui Yiting, "When will you go to the Yamen?" ”
Her hands are soft, she is good at buttoning, and her fingers are flying as she speaks, and she has already dressed him.
Cui Yiting said: "I have to leave after an hour." ”
One night in exchange for an hour.
As he spoke, Cui Yiting lay down on the kang, and Wanning lowered the window of the kang. Open the window at Cui Yiting's feet.
Cui Yiting leaned on the pillow, the expression on his face relaxed, as if he had put down his cold and hard armor in an instant. Wan Ning picked up the fan and shook it gently, wanting Cui Yiting to sleep more comfortably.
The wrist was held by Cui Yiting, those clear eyes looked at her, and a smile rose on his lips, "No need, I'm not afraid of heat." ”
How can you not be afraid of the heat, you are just afraid that she will be tired.
Wanning didn't listen to Cui Yiting. Changed hands and shook gently.
The breeze blew the hair on Cui Yiting's sideburns.
Cui Yiting said: "There is a plague in Jiangning, and the emperor wants to stabilize the situation in Fujian, so he asked the cabinet to plan candidates for going to Fujian last night." After scrutinizing one by one, Xungui and Deng Sichang have a lot of dealings, and many of the shops opened by the Deng family in Fujian have entered the dry shares. Such people cannot be used. ”
"Young generals. Less experience in the barracks, the emperor can't believe it. ”
"Later, I mentioned Yong'an Hou, although he was young, he followed the old Yong'an Hou to win several battles."
Wan Ning raised her eyes, and somehow the situation of Pei Mingzhao sitting on horseback appeared in her mind, and her heart moved uneasily, like a breeze that didn't know where it blew, and an inexplicable feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.
She had only seen Pei Mingzhao a few times......
Pei Mingzhao stood on his horse and looked at her with a calm face. Some things seem to be said, but some are not spoken. Hidden under those eyes.
She was going to Fujian and tricked Pei Mingzhao into going back to Taixing on the same road, Pei Mingzhao took more care of her, and asked her cronies to escort her carriage all the way to Taixing.
It stands to reason that none of this is a big deal.
At such an important time, she could only ask Pei Mingzhao for help.
It is true that there was no unusual feeling at that time.
But what's going on with those feelings in my heart? Staying there for no reason, as if she had forgotten about it, but it seemed like she could remember it sometime.
Wan Ning was thinking about it, and her hand was suddenly grasped.
Cui Yiting smiled and said, "What do you think?" ”
Wan Ning came back to her senses and continued to shake the fan, "It's okay...... You said that the cabinet had the emperor in front of the Yong'an Marquis......"
Cui Yiting said: "The emperor asked my opinion. ”
Speaking of this, Cui Yiting's gaze became far-reaching.
Wan Ning is very familiar with Cui Yiting's expression, and Cui Erye mentioned that he had already calculated things, and this was what he looked like.
"I told me something about the Pei family's Haice, and the emperor asked me how I found out, and I said that I had a few rounds of competition with Yong'an Hou in private."
Since you have competed for a few rounds, you can naturally tell whether it is good or bad.
It seems that Pei Mingzhao is going to Fujian this time.
From Taixing to today, everyone's encounters are really unimaginable before.
Wan Ning tried not to mention the plague, and wanted Cui Yiting to rest for a while, Cui Yiting's eyes opened after closing for a while, and there was not the slightest sleepiness in them, "You say, can this plague be stopped?" ”
Cui Yiting thought about it, in his previous life, it was a month later than this, the news of the plague reached the capital, the imperial court sent officials to check the epidemic, the Tai Hospital used a lot of manpower, and the plague control in Zhejiang and Fujian could not help but spread to the capital.
At that time, the hospital said that because there were too many people dying of starvation, the plague was triggered.
That's because the officials of Nanzhili have been greedy for ink for many years, and the grain in the granary has long existed in name only, and in the event of drought and flood, the imperial court cannot take out the relief grain in time.
That's why in this life, he will start from Nanzhili to check the grain.
After the case of the Nanzhili officials embezzling ink and cao grain was concluded, they had already transferred grain from Henan to fill the granary, and he paid special attention to this year's drought and flood.
Nan Zhili reported the disaster early, and the relief food was also distributed, and he only received the news a few days ago that Nan Zhili did not starve to death a large number of victims.
It stands to reason that since there were no dead people, there would be no plague.
Why exactly? The plague still appeared as in the previous life, but there was news of it entering Beijing before it spread.
Cui Yiting once asked her if there was a good way to deal with the outbreak of the plague.
Wan Ning said: "I have to go to the health center to see what kind of plague it is, and whether there is any medicine to cure it." ”
