094. Leaving Beijing
"Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the county guard of Nanyang County, a large-scale plague has broken out in Nanyang County, please make a decision!"
Han Jingwen's voice fell, and the faces of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty changed drastically.
Leng Yi immediately stepped forward to take the fold in Han Jingwen's hand and presented it to Emperor Huiwen, Emperor Huiwen opened it and looked at it, the shock on his face gradually shrouded in a layer of frost, and then glanced at Leng Yi, and Leng Yi handed the fold to Qingyun again.
It is clearly written on the fold that the people of three villages in Nanyang County have died of the plague, and even the nearby villages have also had epidemics, and the county guard of Nanyang County has isolated people from several villages to prevent the epidemic from continuing to spread, but Nanyang County is extremely short of medicinal materials, and many people die from the epidemic every day, so that people are panicked and the situation is turbulent.
Qingyun frowned: "At this time, it is the season of autumn and winter, and there has not been a flood caused by continuous autumn rains, how can the plague break out?" ”
"Back to the ninth princess, according to the messenger, the county guard of Nanyang County has found out that someone mistakenly ate the spoiled food bitten by rats and did not seek medical supplies in time."
Eating spoiled food that has been bitten by a mouse?
Qingyun's brows became tighter and tighter, and she subconsciously looked at the position where the prime minister was, the prime minister was still on leave to recuperate, for the prime minister who had never been absent from the early dynasty, this time's behavior was really a bit abnormal, and she didn't believe at all that the prime minister, who had always valued power, would be sick for a useless abandoned son, wouldn't the prime minister be worried that the power in his hands would be weakened by waiting for an opportunity?
Also, is the plague really so simple or is someone doing it on purpose? Will it have anything to do with the prime minister?
"The epidemic is urgent, please make a decision as soon as possible!" The Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces knelt down with Han Jingwen and pleaded: If the epidemic is not controlled, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Glancing at Qingyun, Emperor Huiwen said with a majestic face: "Passing the decree, I ordered Imperial Doctor Xu to lead ten imperial doctors to Nanyang County to immediately rush to Nanyang County to prevent and control the epidemic, and the Xiaowei Battalion dispatched five hundred soldiers to escort the medicinal materials with him!" ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "The emperor is sage!" ”
"The Emperor" Zhang Zishan suddenly said loudly: "Mo Gongzi has excellent medical skills, I believe that with Mo Gongzi coming forward, he will be able to resolve the trouble of this epidemic." ”
Many people also chimed in.
He glanced at Zhang Zishan meaningfully, and a demonic sneer crossed the corner of Qingyun's lips: "Lord Zhang is reasonable, in this way, Imperial Doctor Xu doesn't have to go, just let the palace and Mo Gongzi lead ten imperial doctors to Nanyang County." ”
Originally, she planned to tell her father to leave the palace and go to Cining Nunnery to pray for blessings after the early dynasty, but in fact she went to Xueyun Peak, which saved her the trouble of persuading her father who knew her mind, and she could wait for the epidemic to be dealt with before turning around to Xueyun Peak, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
But Imperial Physician Xu had to stay, not only because of his superb medical skills, but also because he was upright and kept him by his father's side, just in case.
"No way!" Several voices of opposition rang out at the same time.
Sima Yue preemptively said: "Ninth Princess, this is a long way and the epidemic is serious, what if the Ninth Princess has any discomfort?" ”
"King Yue is right!" Sima Qi nodded and said: "It is understandable that the ninth princess cares about the diseases of the people of Nanyang County, as long as people report the epidemic at any time, the ninth princess does not have to go in person." ”
Seeing that his father and Uncle Leng, as well as more than half of the courtiers did not agree, Qingyun said quietly: "This palace has been visiting the border passes and the people with my father since childhood, this difficulty is nothing, and with Mo Gongzi here, this palace will naturally be fine."
And the palace personally went to Nanyang County, aiming to let the people know the Tao, the court not only did not let them go, but also actively treated them, which fully demonstrated the emperor's grace and benefited the country and the people, isn't it? ”
"Having said that, the ninth princess still can't go, and if she wants to go, it's the minister or the king of Qi to go!"
"Mo Gongzi's heart and temper, King Yue is not ignorant."
Sima Yue was speechless for a moment.
You must know that except for Jiu'er, Mo Xuan never takes anyone in his eyes, not even his father, let alone obey anyone's orders.
Qingyun looked sideways at Emperor Huiwen with a solemn face, and it happened that Emperor Huiwen also looked at her, and the two exchanged glances, I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as it seems, otherwise why did Zhang Zishan just point out Mo Xuan to go?
Seeing Emperor Huiwen nodded, Qingyun smiled with peace of mind, and then said meaningfully to everyone: "This epidemic is fierce and far-reaching, this palace hopes that King Yue, Taifu and Jing Zhaoyin will cooperate with the Xiaowei battalion, and the Praetorian Guards will protect the safety of the capital and the palace, so as to prevent the epidemic from spreading to Kyoto."
At the same time, in order to ensure the follow-up supply of medicinal materials in Nanyang County, in addition, it is about to enter winter, and Nanyang County will inevitably lack materials, so the matter will be handed over to the King of Qi and the Protector Marquis to supervise and urge all departments to prepare as soon as possible, and send people to escort them to Nanyang County.
This palace hopes that the monarchs and people of the Jin Kingdom will work together to overcome this difficulty, if anyone dares to ......"
"If someone dares to wait for an opportunity to stir up trouble, once it is verified, he will be severely punished!" Emperor Huiwen's deep eyes swept coldly over every courtier, and everyone suddenly felt a chill down their spines, as if they were in a thousand-year-old cold pool, and their bodies trembled slightly.
"The minister (old minister) obeys the order!" Knowing that they couldn't stop Qingyun's decision, Sima Yue and the others had no choice but to act as ordered.
After the early dynasty, Emperor Huiwen came to Yuhua Palace, where Concubine Yu and the two newlyweds were already waiting.
According to the rules handed down by the ancestors, whether it is the prince or the courtiers, they have three days of marriage leave for the big wedding, and the prince and the princess have to enter the palace to ask their parents for tea, Sima Rui's mother died early, and she came to Yuhua Palace with Sima Xian.
didn't see Jiu'er's figure, Sima Rui and Sima Xian were very strange: "Father, why don't you see Jiu'er?" ”
"Jiu'er has something to delay for a while."
Although the father looked as usual, the two always felt that something big had happened in their hearts, and it was related to Jiu'er, so the whole tea ceremony process seemed a little absent-minded, and they looked at the door from time to time, until the tea was finished, and they talked to their father and Concubine Yu for a while, and the two who never saw Jiu'er could no longer sit still, and found an excuse to go straight to Luoxia Palace.
Seeing the arrival of the two, Mama Shen and the eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Sima Rui searched all over the Luoxia Palace and didn't see Jiu'er, even Mo Xuan and Zike Lupo were not there, and even the secret guards protecting the Luoxia Palace had decreased a lot, and when he glanced at Sima Xian, a bad premonition suddenly rose in the hearts of the two.
"Mama Shen, do you know where Lu Dao Jiu'er went?"
"Back to the words of the two princes, princess, the princess went out of the palace and went to the market......"
"Really?" Sima Xian's gentle words revealed a cold air: "Did Jiu'er say when he would return to the palace?" "Knowing that they will come to greet their parents today, how could Jiu'er leave? Mama Shen is obviously lying!
Mama Shen lowered her head and pretended to be calm: "The princess said that she would come back after dark." ”
Sima Rui was impatient to listen to Mama Shen's nonsense, grabbed her arm and dragged her up, but considering that she was Jiu'er's person, he stared at her directly, and his voice was as cold and hard as if it jumped out of between his teeth: "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame this king for being unkind to you!" ”
"Third brother, don't embarrass Mama Shen!" Sima Yue and Sima Qi, who rushed to hear the news, spoke out at the right time to stop them.
Sima Rui and Sima Xian stared at the two of them in unison, and asked in unison, "Where did Jiu'er go?" ”
Waving his hand to signal Shen Mama and the others to stand back, looking at the third brother with a cold glow in his eyes, Sima Qi said truthfully: "There was a large-scale plague in Nanyang County, and Jiu'er and Mo Xuan went to prevent it. ”
"The plague?" Sima Rui and Sima Xian's expressions changed suddenly: "How long has Jiu'er been gone?" ”
"An hour!" Seeing that the third brother was about to run away, Sima Qi hurriedly dodged in front of him, and Sima Yue hugged his waist tightly: "Jiu'er specially told that the third brother and the sixth brother have just gotten married, so they have to stay and accompany the two imperial sisters-in-law!" ”
Trying his best to break free from the shackles of the eighth brother, Sima Rui, who was in danger and panicked at the thought of Jiu'er's departure, strode away with a meteor, but who knew that Sima Qi's tepid voice came from behind him.
Jiu'er had long expected that the third brother would be like this, so he said goodbye! Jiu'er hopes that the third brother and the sixth brother can concentrate on handling political affairs, ensure the supply of Nanyang County, protect the peace of Kyoto, and strictly prevent someone from waiting for the opportunity to make trouble, if the third brother and the sixth brother can't do it, Jiu'er will be very sad! ”
Sima Rui couldn't help but stop, turned around, and looked at Sima Qi who shrugged his shoulders, and Sima Yue couldn't help nodding his head to prove it, lowering his eyes slightly, and his heart was filled with boundless bitterness: Jiu'er, I will do what you wish! Then he pursed his lips and went to the chamber without saying a word.
The trio followed.
Yuhua Palace, Emperor Huiwen has returned to the Qinzheng Palace, Concubine Yu looked at her daughter-in-law and Xu Kexin, who had been obviously silent a lot since her son and King Rui left, and sighed silently.
Holding Emperor Huiwen in his hand, the ninth princess gave it to herself, it is said that this is the only precious purple jade hairpin in the world, Xu Kexin's heart is mixed, and accompanied by a trace of sadness.
And in the Yanqing Palace, the beautiful face of the noble concubine who heard that the little slut had left Beijing and rushed to Nanyang County was full of cruel smiles, and her eyes flashed with a cold and vicious light: "Tell her that you must capture the little slut alive, and this palace wants the little slut to live better than to die!" ”
The eunuch opened his mouth and said nothing, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this time, on the official road, five horses galloped at a gallop, and the people who drove the horses were Qingyun, Mo Xuan and Green Amber, as well as the dragon shadow and the dancing shadow that no longer hid in the shadows.
The full moon hung obliquely in the dark sky, and the bright moonlight seemed to spread a layer of silver veil on the earth, a few sparse stars twinkled and flickered, and the cold night breeze blew through, adding a bit of gloom.
Dragon Shadow and Dance Shadow, who had used dry food, watched the surrounding movements with a highly vigilant expression.
Taking the dry food handed by Green Amber, Qingyun said gently: "Green Amber, you are also tired for a day, rest early." "It's only been a few days since she learned to ride a horse, and she was a little overwhelmed by this gallop.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm not tired."
"Xiyan, why don't you let Lan Jue or go with you month by month?"
