The emperor looked at Zhuge Tian on the side, picked up two cups from his father-in-law's hand, and handed them to him, "Brother Tian, I will hand over my favorite child to you." ”

Zhuge Tian took the wine glass and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the ministers will help Changqing solve the danger of the epidemic and protect him thoroughly!" ”

"Alas!" The emperor sighed, "With your words, I can rest assured!" You also have to take care of your body, so you don't have to worry about it at home. I and the queen will take care of Ah Zhi and Shan'er! ”

Hearing the name of the concubine, Zhuge Tiancai showed a rare smile, "With the emperor here, the minister is not worried, the emperor is only waiting for the good news of Changqing and the minister!" ”

"Good! Brother Tian, you have worked hard, I salute you, I want to wish you and Qing'er a smooth journey and success! Dry! ”

Zhuge Tian also clinked glasses with the emperor fiercely, "Dry!" ”

"Ah Tian, you and Changqing must be extremely careful!" The queen choked.

"Your Majesty, Empress, don't worry!"

Changqing on the side slowly knelt in front of the emperor and queen, "Father, mother, the emperor will say goodbye!" ”

The emperor gently helped Changqing up, but still couldn't help but admonish: "Emperor, your imperial uncle has been in the court for many years, has experienced many epidemics, and has rich experience in this area. ”

Changqing nodded solemnly.

Then he and Zhuge Tian got on the horse one after another.

He held the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor in his right hand, and shouted with all his strength: "Go!" ”

The large army began to move slowly with his order.

Then, at this moment, one of the carriages with medicinal herbs suddenly caught fire, and the fire was extremely fierce.

"It's water, it's water, it's water!"

The emperor was shocked and hurriedly ordered to put out the fire.

Now that the epidemic is expanding, it is too late to use a simple isolation method or to confine all the sick people, and the right prescriptions and medicinal materials are the feasible way.

Therefore, the emperor purchased almost all the medicinal materials in the area of Tiannanjing City and prepared to escort them to Nanzhou, if these medicinal materials were burned, the consequences would be almost unimaginable.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong today, and there were many guards in front of the main hall, so the fire was quickly extinguished.

The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, these medicinal materials are almost three-quarters of all the medicinal materials in Tiannan, if they are really burned, the remaining medicinal materials are not enough for Nanzhou to use, and once the epidemic cannot be controlled, the entire Tiannan will be covered by the epidemic, I am afraid that without the other three countries, he Tiannan will perish by itself.

"Go and order how many medicinal herbs have been burned, rearrange them, and set off!" Changqing quickly made arrangements.

Seeing this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, the guards who went to inventory the medicinal materials ran to the emperor and others in a panic, "Report!" Medicinal herbs, medicinal herbs ......"

Zhuge Changqing frowned slightly, "What's wrong with the medicinal herbs?" ”

"Report to the eldest prince, the medicinal herbs and medicinal herbs on the cart have all turned into hay, and the medicinal herbs have become hay!"

"What?"

Zhuge Changqing couldn't believe it, no matter how good haode medicinal materials were, they all turned into hay.

He hurriedly followed the guards to see what was going on.

The emperor only felt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and hurriedly followed.

Zhuge Tian also knew that the medicinal materials were very important, and he was also busy walking towards the carriage containing the medicinal materials.

The civil and military officials present were in an uproar for a while, and everyone was whispering, how could the medicinal herbs become hay. This, what's going on? Is this the day to die in the south of the sky?

It took Zhuge Changqing and Zhuge Tian nearly an hour to take stock of all the medicinal materials, except for the dozen or so cars at the front, the medicinal materials on the other cars were all hay.

Hearing the return of Zhuge Changqing and Zhuge Tian, the emperor suppressed a sulk in his chest, and the medicinal materials he personally sent someone to supervise and return were all hay, where was his strict face? At the time of the national crisis, the epidemic threatens the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Nanzhou, and there are still people who dare to make a fortune in the country, where is his prestige?

The emperor was furious, his face was as gloomy as the cloudy sky, and he shouted: "Check, check carefully for me." Zhang Qingwu of Dali Temple, Lin Guang of the Criminal Department, where is it? ”

Since Zhuge Feng ascended the throne, it was the first time that he had such a big fire, and the anger in his voice could be felt from more than a dozen feet away.

Zhang Qingwu and Lin Guang secretly complained in their hearts, and hurriedly stepped forward, kneeling in front of the emperor, "Minister Zhang Qingwu!" ”

"Minister, Lin Guang!"

"Knock on the emperor!"

"Zhang Qingwu is the main judge, Lin Guang assists, investigate, now, immediately, quickly find out to me, what the hell is going on!"

"Minister, obey!"

Zhang Qingwu received the emperor's order, and immediately investigated the case of turning medicinal herbs into hay.

It is the household department that is responsible for purchasing medicinal materials, so it is natural to ask the household department book first.

The head of the household department was also in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "The criminal minister, the head of the household department Xu Tiancheng knocked on the emperor." ”

The purchase and storage of medicinal herbs has always been the responsibility of the Household Department, and no matter what the results of the investigation are, the Household Department Shoshu is to blame for the fact that the medicinal materials have turned into hay.

At this time, Zhang Qingwu was the chief judge, Zhuge Feng glanced at him coldly, and did not say anything.

Without getting an answer from the emperor, Xu Tiancheng didn't dare to get up or raise his head, so he kept looking up and kneeling.

Zhang Qingwu began to interrogate Xu Tiancheng.

According to Xu Tiancheng, these medicinal materials are purchased in the same medicinal herb shop, this medicinal herb shop seems to have known early on that the imperial court will purchase drugs to treat the epidemic in large quantities, and began to accumulate a large number of related medicinal materials early in the morning.

At that time, they had inspected all the medicinal materials, but later because the warehouse of the household department suddenly collapsed, they temporarily put the tested medicinal materials in the warehouse of the medicinal herb shop. Later, the household department sent someone to repair the warehouse overnight, and then transferred all the medicinal materials to the household warehouse. Xu Tiancheng bought medicinal materials from the pharmacy on behalf of the royal family, and he forgave them and did not dare to deceive the royal family, so when he transferred the medicinal materials back to the household warehouse, he did not check them again, but he didn't expect that there was really a problem.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the truth, because the manager of the medicinal herb shop was in a hurry to invite them to Hongyi Lou to drink flower wine, and he relied on the royal family as a backer, so he didn't test it again.

After hearing this, Zhang Qingwu pondered for a moment, then turned to Lin Guang and said, "It seems that this pharmacy is very suspicious?" Lord Xu, where did you buy it? ”

"It's Tongfutang!"

Hearing the words "Tongfutang", Zhuge Changgong in the crowd gasped, and then knew that something was wrong, and wanted to take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to slip away to the Nanjun Palace.

Zhuge Changqing noticed his desire to slip away with sharp eyes, and asked with some puzzlement: "Brother Gong, are you ready to leave?" ”

Zhuge Changgong secretly hated, but he didn't expect to be discovered by him, so he pretended to be sad and said: "Brother Emperor, since Changgong's meridians were destroyed, his body has not been as good as before, he just got dizzy and almost fainted, so he plans to rest for a while." ”
