Chapter 384: A Lifesaver (I)
In June of the third year of the Apocalypse, the Jingshi earthquake, the palace shook loudly, collapsed nearly 100 rooms, and killed more than 10 palace people. At the same time, the earthquake damaged countless buildings in Shanhaiguan, Jizhen, and Yongping. More than 200,000 people have been displaced and left homeless.
There are also a large number of people buried in the rubble, too late to rescue, the weather is hot, the corpses are rotten, the stench is disgusting, and the plague is contagious among the capital. The two counties of Shuntianfu and Daxing Wanping took immediate action to provide relief to the victims and distribute medicines, but the effect was not obvious, but intensified.
The officials at the bottom could only write to the court immediately, but the court could not help them, because the emperor was so frightened that he fell ill......
In the Qianqing Palace, the lights and shadows were swaying, and Wei Zhongxian personally held the bowl and sent the medicine to the apocalypse.
"Master, take medicine!"
The facial features of the apocalypse all shrank together, and a word was squeezed out of his lips: "Bitter!" ”
Lao Wei smiled: "Is the medicine bitter, master, the old slave has already added jujube nectar, you can drink it in one gulp." ”
Tianqi pinched his nose and poured the medicinal soup down, but when he poured it halfway, he woke up suddenly, and the bullshit jujube nectar was not sweet at all.
Seeing the apocalypse change color, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Master, adding honey will spoil the medicinal power, you don't want to drink another bowl!" ”
So far, Apocalypse can only endure the bitterness and pour it down.
As soon as the medicine bowl was opened, a bowl of water was delivered+ to the mouth. The action is so smooth that it's almost instantaneous. If it weren't for the fact that serving people is also a science, Tianqi rinsed his mouth, finally recovered, and lay down on the dragon bed.
Wei Zhongxian wiped his mouth and said bitterly: "The old slave should die, you deceived the master, if you don't get angry, you will beat the old slave." ”
"Forget it!" Tianqi sighed: "You are also for my good, but I somehow my health is getting worse and worse. ”
"The masters are all working for the world!" Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.
"Hey. What is going on in this world, the Liaodong soldiers have been in trouble, the Tusi in the southwest has rebelled, the Central Plains has a famine, and there is an earthquake in the capital. All sides are guilty, and the sin is bowing, so why should you be angry with the innocent people and let the living people suffer! ”
The emperor sins against himself!
Lao Wei pounced on his knees, and the other palace maids, eunuchs, and guards all knelt down, although everyone didn't understand what was going on. But I also know that I can't help but kneel!
Wei Zhongxian knelt and crawled half a step, old tears in his eyes.
"Master, there are many disasters in the world, it is a traitor in the court, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty to protect the dragon body, as long as the traitor is punished, I will be able to enjoy the natural wind and rain in the Ming Dynasty, and all the people will be happy. ”
Apocalypse leaned on the side of the bed and slammed to his feet. The two eyes stared directly at Wei Zhongxian, and his lips kept trembling.
"Who, who is the traitor!"
Who is the traitor?
A sentence exploded in Wei Zhongxian's ears, no less than an earth-shattering thunderbolt. The long-awaited opportunity is just around the corner. As long as the emperor nods, he can wipe out the Donglin Party forces that are against him in one fell swoop, so that they will never recover......
But through the hand of the emperor, he dealt with political enemies. There is also a lot of risk, if the emperor sees through it, maybe it is yourself who is unlucky!
Don't look at Lao Wei and the Ke clan as a helper. He didn't dare to say that he could fully grasp the idea of the apocalypse.
"Who the hell is the traitor?" Apocalypse asked again.
Life and death, in one fell swoop, fight!
Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said: "Master Qiqi, the traitor is the Donglin Party, Yuan Huazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Gu Dazhang and other officials, it is Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao, Gao Panlong and other rebels!" ”
After the first few fights, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Ye Xianggao, Han Yi, Liu Yijing, these Donglin cadres were all killed.
However, as a huge monster with decades of heritage, the Donglin Party rose again after a short period of silence, among which Zhu Guozuo, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and others entered the cabinet successively, and Zhao Nanxing, who controlled the ministry, wanted to use the opportunity of Jingcha to eliminate all dissidents, especially to eliminate the eunuchs who were attached to Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop.
What Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan said earlier about poisoning the prince is a rehearsal for this big war.
Of course, Wei Zhongxian didn't know that Zhang Ke was making waves behind his back, he counted all the accounts on Donglin's body, since he wanted to challenge our family, then come!
The east wind blows, the drums of war beat!
The show was finally staged, Wei Zhongxian knelt in front of the apocalypse and cried loudly.
"Master, the court is worried about internal and external troubles, the master is exhausted, he is hungry for clothes, and the old slave is distressed when he looks at it. But there are a cadre of people waiting for them, and they don't know the hardships of the day at all. On the contrary, they blindly form a party for personal gain, and the party fights against differences. Employing people only asks about relatives and relatives, regardless of whether they are virtuous or foolish. If this continues, will there be no country? Although the old slave is reckless, he is willing to sweep away the evil and evil for the master and reorganize the court! ”
Wei Zhongxian finished his heartfelt words, threw himself to the ground, and crawled in front of the dragon bed.
Just waiting for the apocalypse to say a word, Wei Zhongxian was able to release the vicious dog in his hand and sweep away the opponent.
Old Wei waited quietly, but the apocalypse did not squeak, and the dormitory was strangely quiet, and beads of sweat gradually flowed down Wei Zhongxian's forehead.
Could it be that the apocalypse has already seen his own plans?
Lao Wei secretly looked up, just in time to see the apocalypse's playful gaze.
"The old slave should be damned!" Wei Zhongxian hurriedly lowered his head.
"Wei Daban, get up!" Apocalypse's voice was extraordinarily calm.
"Cui Chengxiu's actions in Liaodong have been in the hands of Chengzhen, it is true that Master Sun is impatient with some actions, but he is also kind-hearted, if he can quickly eliminate Jiannu, even if it is the death of some people, I will admit it!"
Two years ago, the apocalypse was unspeakable, and when you sit on the dragon chair, people will change. He is a high-ranking Ninety-Five, and ordinary people are not much stronger than ants.
"Wei Daban, military generals don't often like to say a word, calling a general to achieve ten thousand bones. Don't care too much about how many people die. ”
Although Wei Zhongxian knew that Tianqi had made up his mind, he still wanted to fight.
"The old slave thinks that it is not just a few people, if the people continue to be requisitioned, the people of Liaodong are wild and untamable, maybe they will rise up to resist, and at that time the beacon will be in flames, only afraid, only afraid of ......"
"Say no more!" Tianqi's face was as cold as frost, and he was so frightened that Lao Wei lay on the ground, not daring to say a word.
In the middle of the day, Tianqi slowly spoke, and sighed: "Wei Daban, allocate another 200,000 taels of silver from the inside, so that Master Sun can take more care of the people!" ”
200,000 taels, after layers of exploitation, what went to the people was only 350,000 taels, not even drizzle. But this is already the biggest concession of the Apocalypse, and Wei Zhongxian no longer dares to say a word.
"Tianxin is merciful, the old slave will do it!"
Wei Zhongxian got up and walked outside slowly, his face full of loneliness.
Just as he was about to walk out of the palace gate, someone suddenly ran in in a hurry and happened to bump into him.
"Ah, Grandpa Zhang, why are you here?"
The person who came was Zhang Ye, and I saw that his face was pale and out of breath.
"Father-in-law Wei, how is the master? Our family has a major military event, and we have to report it to our master! ”
"Militaristic affairs?" Wei Zhongxian's eyes widened instantly, and he asked anxiously, "Where is it?" ”
"Where else could it be, Liaodong, Master Sun was defeated!" (To be continued......) R1292
