The prime minister at the head of the hundred officials had already knelt down to plead guilty, and the other officials naturally had no reason to stand, so they knelt down one after another with the corners of their robes, and their heads were "banging", but no one answered to speak.

Emperor Zheng Rong saw that the situation had stabilized, and his nervous mood calmed down slightly, and he stretched out his right hand and said, "All the secretaries don't have to be like this, let's all be even." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Rong suddenly caught a glimpse of a thin red line on his arm, and hurriedly withdrew his right hand and touched the thin line with his left hand, but a feeling of pain arose, and he spread out his left hand to see - it was blood!

It turned out that this was Sun Hao's right hand holding a spike, and after being interrupted by Yu Chi Lianghong, he swiped down and happened to be on the emperor's hand. It's just that the emperor was frightened by the shocking changes in front of him at that time, so he didn't feel pain, and he didn't realize that he was injured.

The officials hadn't gotten up at this time, their eyes were staring at the dirt and stones on the ground, and they didn't see the emperor injured, only Qiu Yizhi, who was beside Zheng Rong, saw it really and wanted to call the imperial doctor over, but he was afraid of being frightened, so he just hurriedly said in Zheng Rong's ear: "Your Majesty, you are injured, do you want to send the imperial doctor to see it immediately?" ”

The injury on the arm didn't seem to be too serious, Zheng Rong was still a little careless, and said: "This little injury is not a big deal, so don't pass it on to the imperial doctor." As soon as the imperial doctor came, it was full of wind and rain in the city, and the wind outside was rain, and I couldn't tell what it would become......"

Qiu Yizhi frowned, shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid that the emperor will think that the ministers will speak badly, such a thing can be big or small." Li Shengjie's father, Li Zhi, was stabbed and injured by the assassin, but unexpectedly, the assassin's knife was highly poisonous...... Poor old ship owner Li Zhi, even the injured leg was cut off, but the injury is still not healed......"

When Zheng Rong heard this, his face was panicked, and it was also a shame that he could still maintain his composure under such circumstances, and he didn't go to Qiu Yizhi's words, but said to Yu Chi Jiming: "That, the little girl of the Wei Chi family, don't press Sun Hao, carry him over, I want to talk to him." ”

At this time, all the civil and military officials who were prostrate on the ground had already stood up, and when they saw the emperor's arm bleeding, dyeing a large piece of bright yellow dragon robes red, they had already guessed that the emperor was injured. The emperor's dragon body was injured, and the officials were of course very frightened - lest this supreme who was killed and killed would be angry with themselves, but they had to admire the emperor - admired that he was injured, and he actually let it all be treated as if it was okay, and Sun Hao, who still had the heart to stab him, said a few words.

Qiu Yizhi on the side knew the cause and effect, so he knew that the emperor wanted to inquire and ask Sun Hao if he had simmered poison on the spikes, so as to ask for peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, Yu Chi Jiming pushed Sun Hao, turned him over again, probed his snort, and said with an embarrassed face: "Your Majesty, this Sun Hao is dead......

Zheng Rong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at Sun Hao's face, seeing that his face was full of black blue, the expression on his entire face had been deformed, but a pair of old eyes stared at him like longan, which looked very terrifying.

Zheng Rong saw the dead Sun Hao's eyes full of anger, and his heart palpitated, and he thought that Sun Hao was dead, so he couldn't know whether the sharp weapon he used to assassinate was poisoned. Thinking of this, Emperor Zheng Rong's head became more and more dizzy, and he almost held his breath, so he barely managed to calm his mind, and said tremblingly: "Sun Hao is dead? Forget it when you're dead! I am also tired, so let's go back to do our own business, you can ask Mr. Zhongli for instructions on relevant matters, and if you are undecided, you can also ask for advice. ”

After that, Zheng Rong reluctantly wanted to stand up, but after struggling twice in the seat, he still couldn't stand up, and his face became more and more pale.

Qiu Yizhi observed carefully from a close distance, and saw that the emperor seemed to be very weak, but now in front of everyone's eyes, he didn't know what to do.

Zhongli Kuang saw the opportunity very quickly, stepped forward and said, "Didn't you hear it?" The emperor wants you to perform your duties and handle affairs. The generals discussed the division of the garrison area according to the position occupied by the troops, and the civilian officials immediately drafted and posted a notice to reassure the people, and all warehouses in the city were sealed and not allowed to be used. Although Jinling City has now been taken by our army, the remnants of Lingnan are still there, and they cannot be taken lightly. I have said first, if there is any dereliction of duty or disturbance of the people, I Zhongli Kuang will be the first to impeach him! Do you understand everything? If you don't hurry up and kowtow to thank you, let's go down and do something! ”

Usually in the imperial court, Emperor Zheng Rong also wants to show his subordinates kindness, and sometimes he speaks politely and softly, but this Zhongli Prime Minister is strict and serious in everything, and he is extremely rigorous and strict, so the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are often afraid of this iron-faced prime minister than afraid of the emperor.

Therefore, after Zhong Li Kuang finished saying these words, a group of civil and military officials immediately knelt down, bowed to the emperor a few times, shouted "Long live" in unison, and immediately got up to do their own work.

Qiu Yizhi was only the emperor because he was injured or even poisoned, so when he saw that everyone had dispersed, he immediately leaned down and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, is your dragon body still healthy?" ”

Zheng Rong sat in the chair for a while, and his vitality had recovered somewhat, so he replied, "It's okay, but I need to rest." Li Shengjie's boat is too shaky, you are familiar with Jinling City, I don't know if there is a good place to go in the middle of the noise? ”

Qiu Yizhi's mind turned, and he replied: "The Daofu Yamen has just gone through a big war, and it must be uninhabitable, and it is too late to temporarily set up a palace and build a palace, but the minister thought of two places to live together." One is the 'Qingya Temple' where Yin Chengliang lived, and the other is Lin Shuhan's manor. These two places are very quiet, how about the emperor choose one to stay for a few days, and then wait for the site to build the palace? ”

Zheng Rong pondered for a while and said: "Although it is said that it is 'the shore of the land, it is not the king's land', but it is not good for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest after all, so it is better to choose the 'Qingya View'." ”

According to Qiu Yizhi's meaning, although the place of "Qingyaguan" is good, it is always the old mansion of the dead Yin Chengliang, which seems to be unlucky, and the yin qi is heavier, not as majestic and comfortable as Lin Shuhan's manor, but since the emperor speaks, he naturally has nothing to refute and explain.

So Qiu Yizhi asked Zhao Chengxiao and others to raise their troops and horses, and specially from the Jiangnan Provincial Government Yamen that had been breached, he found a green sedan chair dedicated to Lord Shi, personally helped the emperor into the sedan chair, and escorted him to the "Qingya Temple".

Halfway through, Zhao Chengxiao slowly walked to Qiu Yizhi's side and said to him: "My lord, when I was looking for the sedan chair, I found the imprisoned Jiangnan Provincial officials in the yamen, and Lord Shi Qianfeng and Lord Liu Qing, the envoy of Jiedu, were also inside......

Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he heard it - Qian Feng and the others didn't have to say it, they remembered that Liu Qingchengpo didn't die with the Lingnan Army at that time, how could he still be alive.

So Qiu Yizhi asked suspiciously: "Liu Qing? Isn't Liu Qing dead? ”

Zhao Chengxiao replied: "Alive, even if your hands and feet are injured, you can probably only lie on the ground and can't turn over, and the skin behind your back is rotten......"

Qiu Yizhi knew that Zhao Chengxiao was a safe person, and he had seen Liu Qing himself many times, so what he said must not be false, so he said: "I didn't expect this Liu Qing's fighting ability to be average, but he is a big life." Since they are blessed people, the heavens are endless, so they must be carefully healed, and they must not go against the will of God. Brother Zhao, you will send someone to ask the best military doctor in the army to see Liu Qing for him. There are also several other imprisoned adults, and they must be properly accommodated, and they will be dealt with after I have asked Prime Minister Zhongli and the emperor. ”

Zhao Chengxiao agreed and retreated.

Qiu Yizhi also hurriedly dismounted, walked to Zhong Likuang's side, and told the prime minister what Zhao Chengxiao had reported and his temporary disposition.

Qiu Yi's disposition was originally the proper meaning of the question, and Zhong Likuang couldn't think of anything that needed to be corrected and improved, so he nodded and agreed.

While speaking, the green sedan chair carrying the emperor had arrived in front of the "Green Cliff View". Qiu Yizhi hurriedly ordered people to open all the mountain gates, but there was still no way for the eight-carrying sedan chair to enter, so he simply ordered his soldiers to immediately dismantle the mountain gate.

Qiu Yizhi's subordinates are all powerful people, listen to the order, and within a cup of tea, they dismantle the mountain gate of this "Qingya View", which is not very strong, and carry the emperor's palanquin into the view.

After entering the "Qingya Temple", Qiu Yizhi discussed with Zhong Likuang, chose a sunny and secluded side hall, and immediately sent someone to clean up the house, and let the emperor live in.

Emperor Zheng Rong was really tired, and he fell asleep peacefully in a short time.

Seeing this, Zhong Li Kuang and Qiu Yizhi, who had been busy for most of the day, glanced at each other, slowly withdrew from the hall, and gently closed the door and retreated.

Qiu Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly greeted Zhao Chengxiao again, and said: "This is a forbidden place now, the emperor has appointed your guard duties before, you have to strictly restrain your brothers, and you can't make a fork in the door, you know?" ”

Zhao Chengxiao just wanted to agree, but heard Zhong Likuang say on the side: "It's not appropriate." Although the men and horses led by General Zhao were the guards appointed by the emperor when he left Beijing, only these two hundred people guarded such a large garden, and it seemed that there were not enough people. What I mean, General Zhao still stayed, and then asked Wei Chi Lianghong to order 200 people from the criminal department to go south, and I ordered 600 people from the original imperial forest guards, a total of 1,000 people to guard here. All orders are under the instructions of the emperor, and the emperor is not a director for the time being, so I will be in charge of the defense here. ”

Zhong Li Kuang had just finished speaking, Qiu Yizhi was still in the aftertaste, but he heard Zhong Li Kuang say to him: "Yizhi, it's not that you can't trust you, nor can't you believe General Zhao Chengxiao." It's just that the responsibility here is too great to be missed. Several groups of people do not belong to each other, so it is better to contain each other and disperse some responsibilities. Yizhi, do you think that's the truth? ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to Zhong Likuang's tone with less severity and more gentleness, and listened to the meaning of his words, obviously wanting to help him share the responsibility, he was moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your advice!" ”

As he spoke, he remembered that he had been inexplicably attacked by his emperor's father-in-law in the past few days, and now he suddenly felt a rare warmth from his master Zhong Li Kuang, his eyes were wet, and he was almost in tears.

But Zhong Li Kuang sighed, and said: "Yizhi is a smart person, you must be able to understand my thoughts." Okay, you're tired too, so go back and rest. Remember to report here tomorrow. Now that the three princes under the emperor's knees are not there, you are the closest to the emperor at the moment, and you know how to do military affairs, and the emperor is indispensable for you to counsel military affairs. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Zhongli Kuang, bowed to the room where the emperor was, and then withdrew.
