Duan Fei was stabbed by Guo Zhen before waking up with a shock, he looked at everyone in confusion, only to see Zhengde looking at him helplessly, and said, "Duan Aiqing, what are you thinking?" I called you a few times and didn't respond. ”

In an instant, Duan Fei had already sensed Shi Xuan's hostility, and he replied while thinking: "Your Majesty, Weichen is racking his brains to find a way to share the emperor's worries." ”

Zhengde asked expectantly, "Then have you thought of a way?" ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said: "If you go back to the emperor, you just thought of a good idea, but you were stabbed by Gonggong Guo, and you can't think of it when you look back, Weichen deserves to die, please forgive the emperor." ”

Shi Xuan sneered: "Clever words are shameless, Your Majesty, have you seen it?" The old minister implored the emperor to dismiss Duan Fei and investigate it! If Duan Fei is not removed, it will be difficult for the world to be appeased, Your Majesty! ”

Duan Fei was stunned, wasn't he talking about how to prevent smallpox? Why did you come up to yourself? Looking at Shi Xuan's expression, it seems that it is more important to put yourself together than to deal with the epidemic, when will he be more terrible than the plague and smallpox?

Zhengde frowned and said, "Shi Aiqing, this is a bit alarmist, right?" Since Duan Aiqing took office, he has done a lot of great things for me, and you say that he has brought disaster to the country and the people, but I don't believe it. ”

Shi Xuan's expression excitedly counted Duan Fei's actions, saying that Duan Fei was arrogant, frivolous, and uneducated, forming gangs, pointing deer as horses, and disrupting politics and harming the country...... After counting a lot, Duan Fei really didn't know that he was so heinous.

When Shi Xuan was foaming at the mouth, Guo Zhen also told Duan Fei the cause and process of the incident in a few words, it turned out that Shi Xuan counted the smallpox outbreak on Duan Fei's head, saying that this was caused by Duan Fei's chaos and political disaster, the ancients were superstitious, and often attributed the epidemic to the will of heaven, and the so-called providence was because someone did something against the sky, in short, it was blinded by two mouths, and it was often used to attack political opponents, and it was often very effective.

When he understood what was going on, Shi Xuan's upright image also completely collapsed in Duan Fei's heart, this good official who has a clear reputation, can he do anything other than clean himself to be beneficial to the country and the people? Looking at several Shangshu around him, there was an impatient look on his face, especially Qian Rujing, who was identified as Duan Fei's minions, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department couldn't help but argue with Shi Xuan, both of them were full of poems and books, and every sentence quoted scriptures, fooling Zhengde so much that his eyes were full of gold stars.

Duan Fei chuckled, "Hehe...... Don't quarrel with the two adults, the dismissal of Duan Fei is small, the disease resistance and disaster relief is big, the emperor, since Shi Da mouthfully said that I hurt the Ming Dynasty, the heavens punished, as long as I am dismissed, everything will be fine, this is easy to do, please the emperor dismissed my post, Weichen has a small savings, a year and a half of starvation and not death, Weichen wants to see if this smallpox can disappear because Weichen was dismissed, if it turns out that Lord Shi is right, no matter how thick-skinned Weichen is, he will not dare to live to bring disaster to the country and the people, and jump directly from the top of Mount Tai. If it turns out that Lord Shi is just talking nonsense, in fact, it will delay the disaster relief, please ask the emperor to cure Lord Shi's crime and punish his nine clans. ”

Duan Fei's words clearly penetrated everyone's ears, Duan Fei said very calmly, but the last sentence suddenly became gloomy, Shi Xuan was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "Duan Fei, you are so vicious, where did my wife, son and daughter offend you?" You want to punish my nine clans! ”

Duan Fei said lightly: "Lord Shi, don't be angry, if the prevention and control of the smallpox epidemic is delayed because of your nonsense, there will be more than 10,000 people killed and injured, what's wrong with letting your whole family die?" In my opinion, it is too light, and it is not enough to peel and cut it all up. ”

Shi Xuan was trembling with anger, Zhang Zilin coughed clearly, and said, "Lord Duan, Lord Shi does not mean that you will not take any countermeasures after you are dismissed, and the disease still needs to be treated." ”

Duan Fei sighed and said, "Wouldn't it be impossible to prove the will of heaven?" Lord Shi said so much, is it just to target Duan Fei alone? Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged, Lord Shi did not forget to suppress Weichen when this kind of national disaster was at the head, it can be seen that he doesn't care about the suffering of the people at all, he may not want to have disasters every day, so he will fall this today, and that tomorrow, sooner or later he will say that the disaster is coming because of the emperor......"

Shi Xuan's flushed face turned snow-white, his fingers trembled and pointed at Duan Fei, and Mu Ran spurted out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the map of Shaanxi on the desktop bright red, and soon turned black.

When Zhang Zilin and the others were in a hurry to save Shi Xuan, Duan Fei pointed to those blood spots and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Lord Shi, he vomited black blood, he must have been seriously ill, maybe he will be infected, the emperor should be careful!" ”

Zhang Rui and Guo Zhen said to the ground: "Yes, what Lord Duan said is very true, the emperor, please step back, come here, quickly carry this sick man out, and pass it on to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment." ”

After a while, the imperial physician entered the 'meditation hall' in the apse of Wuying Palace, and bowed to Zhengde, who was resting, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shi, he ...... He has already gone west. ”

Zhengde stood up in shock, Duan Fei's heart also jumped, and he asked in a deep voice: "Imperial Doctor, Lord Shi, why did he die?" Sick or angry? ”

The imperial doctor secretly glanced at Zhang Rui and Guo Zhen, both of them hinted that he didn't know what to do for a while, and after a little hesitation, Zhengde threatened, and he told the truth in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Lord Shi, he has a stagnation in his veins, and he has been sick for a long time under excitement, and he died of chest paralysis (myocardial infarction). ”

Duan Fei hurriedly knelt down to Zhengde and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen deserves to die, Weichen shouldn't have said those words to Lord Shi in a fit of anger, Weichen provoked Lord Shi to death, please punish the emperor!" ”

Zhengde stomped his feet and said, "Duan Aiqing, you are really ...... this time"

Zhengde sent the imperial doctor out, and there were people close to him in front of him, so he continued: "You are really playing big, and a few words provoke a second-grade Shangshu to death, which is enough to make you famous in history." ”

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is about to die of sorrow now, you are still joking with Weichen, what should Weichen do now?" ”

Guo Zhen said with a smile: "Lord Duan, you don't have to panic, that old man is too narrow, and he has hysteria, so he died of anger, how can he blame Lord Duan?" There are such disputes in the court every day, why are other adults okay? What's more, the words he slandered Lord Duan were even more vicious and vicious, and Lord Duan was so angry that he just ignored him, and he was said like this himself, so he was afraid that he would die and live several times. ”

Zhang Yue also said: "Yes, Lord Duan is right about this, but after all, a Shangshu is dead, and the emperor has to give everyone an explanation." ”

Zhengde thought for a while and said, "Okay, Duan Aiqing, I will take back the title that I rewarded you with a few days ago, and I will reward you again when you make new contributions." ”

Duan Fei's title was insignificant, and he said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that others won't let go of Weichen so easily." ”

Zhengde frowned and said, "Do you want to be exempted from half a year?" That's too little for you, and everyone else is just as unconvinced, and I can't really demote you. ”

Zhang Rui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's very simple to convince the ministers, it's good to punish Lord Duan to go to Shaanxi for disaster relief, didn't everyone hesitate about the election of the people sent to Shaanxi just now?" Lord Duan is resourceful and auspicious, according to the old slave, Lord Duan is the best candidate. ”

Duan Fei and Guo Zhen both heard the true meaning of Zhang Ruimian's hidden needle, and no one wanted to go to that kind of place where the epidemic occurred, so they would' Undecided', Zhang Rui recommended Duan Fei to go, it was clearly a plan to kill two birds with one stone, first, he hoped that Duan Fei would be infected and die, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled, and his face would become a twist, Zhengde would naturally alienate him when he saw it, and secondly, he bullied Duan Fei and never even heard of the name of the acne, he handled the case well, the disaster relief must be a layman among the laymen, and he was ordered to go to Shaanxi for treatment and disaster relief, he would be at a loss for what to do, even if an official who was familiar with the disaster relief procedures encountered smallpox, he would be helpless, once the epidemic spread, when there were thousands of dead, Duan Fei was the best scapegoat, and even Zhengde couldn't protect him。

Guo Zhen was about to find a way to speak for Duan Fei, but Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, what Gonggong Zhang said is extremely true, the micro-ministers eat the monarch and repay the king's kindness, and they will not give up even if they die!" Weichen is willing to go to Shaanxi to fight the disease and provide disaster relief, please ask the emperor to decree it! ”
