No one wants to see their children die, but Song Shenzong has gone through this kind of thing many times, and he is even a little numb. Now, he just wants his other children to be safe.

However, he was only halfway through his words, and his voice naturally softened, and he even sighed twice.

"No, Father. Since that stinky Taoist priest entered Beijing, he has done many things that adults have not done, not to mention, not a single child in his school has been infected with smallpox until now. This time, Zhao told the truth.

"Seriously!" Song Shenzong was shocked when he heard this, but it was not Zhao Maid who asked this, but Shi Deyi, who was standing next to him carefully.

"Your Majesty, this is just a folk rumor. In fact, more than a dozen parents have already picked up their children from that school, and the Cao family and the Cai family have also taken their children away early. Now, Cai's Academy has always been closed, and no one knows the details inside except themselves. The old slave also sent someone to secretly investigate, and this rumor really wasn't released by the kid himself. It's ,......"

"You old thing is really getting more and more confused, in front of me, is there anything you can't say directly?" When Song Shenzong said this, it was like a prelude to a volcano about to erupt.

After Shi Deyi found out, he broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's investigation, this rumor was spread by the child's opponents!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Song Shenzong understood why Shi Deyi didn't dare to say it just now, it turned out that Pu Zongmeng, who had just been appointed as Shangshu Zuocheng, was immediately demoted to Ruzhou by him because he had spoken ill of Sima Guang twice in a row.

Cai Dao is in Bianliang City, and the biggest opponent floating on the water is Zheng Xia, and the backer behind Zheng Xia is Sima Guang.

At this time, if Shi Deyi dared to talk about Zheng Xia without scruples and at will, it would be really fatal, and it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Song Shenzong, wondering if he was complaining about the ministers of the Fa-changing faction?

And at this moment, if he was forced out by Song Shenzong, the official family would naturally be able to hear his difficulties.

However, these words made Song Shenzong speechless for a long time, and it took a long time before he ordered: "What I want to hear is the truth, not the rumors. If you can't get in, you can let people lie on the wall and ask Zeng Gong. Since this old gentleman is inside, he will definitely tell you the truth. By the way, feel free to find out the details of those children who have left. ”

"No!" After Shi Deyi heard the order, he hurriedly hurried out and told his subordinates to do these things immediately.

"Say it! Who told you about this? I've sealed off the entire palace, and these people can still pass on the news, these guards are damn good! It wasn't until Shi Deyi walked out of the dormitory that Song Shenzong asked.

"Father, son...... This is what the emperor's grandfather told me in a dream, and also, this time, Erchen forced his subordinates and those guards to do it, what is wrong, Erchen will bear it. Only then did he remember the conversation he had with Cai Dao before.

This time, it was indeed his willfulness, and now that he thinks about it, it is indeed his subordinates and a large number of guards guarding the palace.

"Nonsense, you've learned from that kid to make up nonsense to deceive me now. Also, you can bear it yourself, Emperor! Can you afford it? What if ......" Song Shenzong was a little excited when he spoke, in case Zhao Maid also contracted smallpox, then what should he do?

There are also two younger brothers behind him who are staring at his throne, and the Empress Dowager Gao has always disliked his reuse of Wang Anshi and those ministers of the law change, and she doesn't like him to change the law and mess up the laws of his ancestors.

Zhao Maid is only eight years old now, and if he has a case, the rest of the princes, except for the blind Zhao Mi, the other princes are even younger.

"Forget it, I'll be spared their capital crimes! However, Emperor, if you want to summon Cai Dao, tell me completely, and I will summon him to the palace! There is no need to risk yourself. Song Shenzong asked a little strangely.

"Father, if Erchen told you the truth before, would you believe Erchen's words? Perhaps, you will think that Erchen has listened to some villain's slander again. "That stinky Taoist priest didn't even ask the reason for that, not to mention, his father.

"Ugh!" This time, he was replaced by his own son, and if he thought about it, if this son hadn't used such a direct method, he might have sent his son away casually. Just think that this is a joke from his son, otherwise he will send Shi Deyi to find out who gave his son a slander. This can be said to be exactly the same as the son's estimate.

Fortunately, it was Shi Deyi who trotted in, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the dormitory.

Shi Deyi did not observe this atmosphere, but came to the front of Song Shenzong and bowed his head to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zeng said that there are indeed no children in the school who have been infected with smallpox. Also, those children who left the school have all left Bianliang City with their families, and the old slave has already sent people to step up their investigation out of the city. The old slave estimated that he would get the exact news tomorrow. There was no movement from the Cai family and the Cao family, presumably the two young masters and young ladies were all right. ”

"Blowing the atmosphere, Erchen heard that a few of them were merchants from Fujian, and when they left Beijing, they went by boat. Can you, a slave, really find out about all the children in one day? As soon as Shi Deyi's words were finished, Zhao Maid couldn't help but mumble quietly on the side.

However, his whisper, Song Shenzong and Shi Deyi could hear it clearly.

Song Shenzong didn't feel anything, he was just a little disappointed in Shi Deyi's ability. But Shi Deyi didn't think so, Song Shenzong handed over the power of the entire Imperial City Division to him, but he didn't hear anything about Zhao Maid's words. It shows that this matter is indeed a mistake by the specific person underneath, and he, the general manager, is naturally to blame.

"Your Majesty, the old slave does not ask for your forgiveness. The old slave will go down now, even if he runs to death and is exhausted, he must find out the current situation of all the children who left within three days. In order not to lose his authority, Shi Deyi made a military order.

"Forget it, you just need to spy on the kids around Gyeonggi." Song Shenzong unexpectedly did not continue to blame Shi Deyi, he knew that this matter was not actually to blame this loyal servant, "However, those who should be severely punished must not be let go." This is not a trivial matter. ”

In the Great Song Dynasty, if there is no will, the eunuch will not be able to leave the capital, and Shi Deyi can grasp the situation of the entire Bianliang City by relying only on the Imperial City Division, which is already good. What's more, now that people's hearts are panicking, and there is a mistake in the work of the people below, how can he, the manager, know?

"No!" Shi Deyi was calm on the surface, but in fact, he was almost scared to death by Zhao Maid's words just now, so he naturally didn't dare, and he wouldn't resent the crown prince who demolished him. But he hated the main person in charge of investigating this matter.

When he heard that Song Shenzong actually refused to let go of the Imperial City Division who was investigating the news, Zhao Maid knew that he was thinking a little simple, so he hurriedly said whimsically: "Father, if you really want to punish the subordinates of the sons and the guards guarding the palace gate, just demote them all to Shuibo Liangshan." ”

Leaving the capital, there is naturally no hope of promotion, but this is always much better than relegating them all to the wild places or war-torn places in Lingnan and Northwest, not to mention, it was still built by that stinky Taoist priest, and the living conditions there must not be too bad.

"Okay, Shi Deyi, you go down in a while, and you will deal with it according to the emperor's instructions." Song Shenzong was rare in generosity, but all this was based on the condition that Zhao Maid was not infected with smallpox when he left the palace this time, so he had to continue to observe for a few days, if Zhao Maid was really fine, then he could deal with those incompetent slaves and sergeants according to Zhao Maid's suggestion.

But if the result is the opposite, not much, even Shi Deyi himself will be implicated.

"By the way, Shi Deyi, what about that stinky Taoist?" At this time, Zhao Maid discovered that the other protagonist of this matter had disappeared.
