The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Different from the solemn atmosphere of the past, today's Heart Cultivation Hall is very depressing, and even a little gloomy.

The two imperial doctors walked out of it with brow on their faces, followed by the little eunuch carrying the medical box. Chen Sansheng, Minister of the Interior, Di Hongming, Minister of Finance, Feng Wu, Minister of Military Affairs, and several other important ministers were already waiting anxiously, and immediately surrounded them when they saw this.

"The adults are well."

The imperial doctor respectfully wanted to salute, but was stopped by Feng Wu, who had only been sick for a long time, and couldn't wait to ask about Qianyuanji's condition. After hearing that Wudou Midao had rebelled against Baling and Tianshui, almost the entire county had fallen, the emperor, who was over sixty years old, actually spat out blood and fainted directly.

This frightened the courtiers.

People are rare in sixty ancient times, not to mention that the emperors of the Qianyuan Empire are not very long-lived. Several important ministers were really worried that this emperor, whose body was not very tough in recent years, would not be able to withstand the blow and suddenly control the dragon Bintian. At this critical time, if there is no Qianyuanji in charge, I am afraid that the huge empire will immediately break into chaos.

"The emperor's illness is not a big deal, it's just that he is old and frail, and he is in a hurry, which is ......"

The imperial doctor cautiously said Qian Yuanji's symptoms, which were jointly diagnosed and treated by the two, and it was almost impossible to make a mistake.

This judgment made several ministers breathe a sigh of relief. However, just as they were discussing the application for an audience, they were stopped by the imperial doctor, who had not yet left.

Although the emperor's condition is unharmed, it is not easy to continue to work in his eyes, especially if he can no longer be stimulated by any bad news, so as to become angry. It's not a big deal once, but if you faint a few more times, I'm afraid it will hurt your body.

"This ...... How is it good? ”

Several important ministers looked at each other, but in the end, they still didn't dare to disobey the imperial doctor's intentions, and agreed to retire for the time being, and wait for tomorrow to come back.

After them, the eldest prince Qian Mingde, the fifth prince Qian Minghao, the third princess Qian Mingshu and others came one after another, and without exception, none of them were received. Even, even Queen Song was stopped by the head of internal affairs. At this time, everyone finally understood that the emperor really didn't want to see anyone, so he had to give up.

The only exception is the twelve-year-old Seventh Princess Qianmingzi.

When this little princess, who was most favored by the emperor, arrived, Qian Yuanji, who did not meet anyone, made an exception and let Qian Mingzi in.

Along the front hall and through the hall, Qian Mingzi, who crept in, saw his father lying on the bed with his eyes closed. It's just that the majesty of the past has disappeared from the emperor of the strongest empire in the Eastern Continent at this moment. The eyes of Qian Yuanji were no different from an ordinary old man, his face was full of deep exhaustion, frustration and weakness.

Feeling that Qian Mingzi came in, he glanced up, and when he saw this ghostly little princess, he had a little more smile on his face. With some difficulty, he raised his hand and motioned for her to lean forward.

The trembling fingers, as well as the old age spots on the back of her hand, made the seventh princess aware of her father's aging for the first time, and her eyes that flashed like stars couldn't help but have tears rolling.

"What are you crying about!"

Qian Yuanji's voice was a little louder.

As a child of the emperor's family, how can there be such a thing as tears?

It's just that he is still reluctant to use even a scolding tone after all. The little girl in front of her, after all, is only twelve years old!

"Father."

Qian Mingzi called him, but he didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, I'm just angry for a while, and I haven't eased my breath." Qian Yuanji knew what the little princess was worried about, sat up slightly, and cheered up and said, "Look, Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Hua also came just now, and they both said that it was okay. Recuperate for a few days and drink a few pairs of decoctions. ”

"Really?"

After listening to Qian Yuanji's words, Qian Mingzi was a little relieved reads();. But before she could say anything, there was another Fu Wang Qianyuanyi, that is, Qian Yuanji's younger brother, who asked to see her, followed by Concubine Li, without exception, who was still rejected by Qianyuanji.

"Father, why don't you see them?"

Qian Mingzi was a little puzzled.

If it is a courtier of a foreign court, it is understandable that you don't want to see them for the time being. But King Fu and Concubine Li, one is his younger brother and the other is a favored concubine, both of whom are considered emperors' personal figures, and it is a little strange that they are still missing.

"Nothing, don't want to see them."

Qian Yuanji replied to Qian Mingzi lightly, but he was sighing in his heart.

The people who really came to visit him out of concern for him, except for Qian Mingzi, who was smart since childhood but was not very old, there was no one else. Whether it is a courtier, a relative of the emperor, a concubine in the harem, and even several other princes of his, they all have ulterior motives when they come to visit. Even if these people cover it up well, Qian Yuanji can see their hypocrisy at a glance.

On weekdays, the Qianyuanji Imperial City Mansion naturally doesn't care. But now I was so angry that I fainted and vomited blood, and I really didn't want to see them again.

Only Qianming Purple!

This little princess really came from the palace simply because she was worried about her father's illness, which made Qian Yuanji very happy in his heart.

At least, there is one more, not because of my identity and throne.

After talking to Qian Mingzi and chatting about some interesting things about the little princess, Qian Yuanji's spirit improved a lot. At this moment, someone came to meet again, this time it was his own uncle, the famous general of the empire, Chengguo Gong Taizhuo!

There's no way, the others can't be seen, Qiantaizhuo must be seen.

In the entire imperial family, the only person Qian Yuanji could trust and had enough ability and prestige was this uncle who single-handedly helped him to the throne - even if the actual age of the other party was a year younger than him. Seeing that the situation in the southwest is suddenly eroding, a strong general is needed to clean up the chaos.

Qian Yuanji sighed secretly, beckoned Qian Mingzi to retreat, and called Qian Taizhuo.

On February 3, Qianyuan Ji edict appointed Chengguo Gong Qiantaizhuo as the general of Zhenxi, with full authority to command the emperor's * team in the southwestern counties, and encircle and suppress the Wudou Midao bandits!

At the same time, the army of Wudou Midao with a total of more than 40,000 was assembled, and while continuing to expand the number of soldiers, the troops began to move in two ways. all the way east to attack Zhanlongxi County; All the way to the south, preparing to preemptively move against the Danyang County Division in the north to prevent the convergence of the empire's armies.

The Great War is imminent!

………

Wu'an.

After a month, the traces of the rebellion of the Taiping Army and the Good Friends Association have basically disappeared, and the streets have regained their former order. Thankfully, the actions of those rebel forces in Wu'an were restrained, and the damage they caused was far less severe than that of Long Shan Mansion.

The only difference is that it is no longer the local garrison brigade that guards the safety of Wu'an, but the city guards who have not yet been able to evacuate.

As for the two garrison brigades that are scheduled to be rebuilt, they are still on paper.

suffered an unprecedented setback, Qian Boming was not directly imprisoned, it was already a blessing to invite heaven, and the Song family didn't know how much effort they had behind it. This governor's position naturally cannot be kept. However, it is still to be determined who the new governor of Taiping County will be. The commander of the rebuilt garrison brigade, whether it is the Lin family or other major forces in the empire, wants to win it.

The question of the appointment of brigade commanders is not resolved through a quarrel, and it is very difficult for reconstruction to be carried out quickly. However, Wudou Midao suddenly rebelled in the southwest of the empire, and it was like a flip board for the Taiping army, and it was far more powerful, which immediately attracted all the attention of the empire, and there was no time to be distracted.

Judging from the form, the position of the governor of Taiping County is only afraid that it will be vacant for another month or two.

Fortunately, many of the civil servants and officials in the governor's palace were also reinstated. In addition, with the Lin family in charge, even if there is no governor, it can still maintain its operation slowly. Among them, Lin Yunwen, the former director of the internal affairs department of Taiping County, undoubtedly played a key role. There are all kinds of problems that need to be dealt with, and almost none of them can stump this eldest son of the Lin family.

But today, he frowned at a piece of information in a rare way.

This is the life history of Chen Wu after the rebellion of the Taiping Army was quelled, and the Wu'an government used a lot of manpower to investigate.

On the side, there are also the results of the Lin family's own investigation alone.

The two surveys from different sources show that Chen Wu's life experience, including the conclusions he finally reached, is completely identical. That is, Chen Wuzu's eight generations were honest farmers, and so did Chen Wu himself. Until the army was raised, it was almost never out of the gate of Changshan Town!

But how is this possible?

Thinking of Chen Wu's behavior in the Lin family, Lin Yunwen shook his head consciously. What's more, if Chen Wu really hasn't been out of the door of Changshan Town in Dalian since he was a child, how did the mysterious force behind him get in touch?

Doesn't make sense!

However, both pieces of information have been repeatedly verified, and there should be no mistake.

Lin Yunwen, who really couldn't figure it out, could only return to the Lin family with two pieces of information.

Knowing that Chen Wu's information that he had personally told was sent back, Lin Anhe was undoubtedly interested. Stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it carefully, but after only a few lines, his brows furrowed, and then he looked faster and faster. About half a minute later, Lin Anhe snorted coldly, tore the two pieces of information into pieces, and threw them aside.

"Father, what are you?"

Lin Yunwen rarely saw Lin Anhe so angry, so he couldn't help but ask.

"In the face of these people, the officials are getting more and more disagreeable!"

Lin Anhe waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Chen Wuzu's last generation of farmers? The old man is not old and dizzy to the point where he can't see people accurately! If you are a villager who has never been out of a small town, and you have not been taught by a famous teacher since childhood, how can you cultivate this kind of bearing, vision and style? Among the children of my Lin family, between you and him, everyone else is inferior. The gang of people outside who do things are sarcastic that the people taught by the old man are not even as good as a township peasant? It's clear that I didn't check it carefully! ”

"Father is angry."

Lin Yunwen hurriedly persuaded a few words, and at the same time said: "Yunwen also feels very contradictory when he receives the information. But this information has been repeatedly verified by them, and it can't be fake. ”

"Impossible!"

Lin Anhe categorically denied the authenticity of the information, and said undoubtedly: "Send this information back!" Sue them and re-check! Although the Taiping army hid in the mountains, the old man had a hunch that this matter might not be over! Be sure to find out Chen Wu's true roots! ”
