Chapter 336: You Don't Know About It
Lin Ziang's body had just recovered a little, and when he heard the news, he lay down again.
Malinger.
Zhao Qiancheng had just been praised and rewarded by His Majesty for doing a good job, and he was proud of his whole life and became famous in the circle of the capital.
Many people followed him and patted him on the back, which was so much that he didn't want it.
This made Lin Ziang, who heard the news, feel congested for several days, and he has been lying in bed sick and unable to get out of bed.
All kinds of ginseng and deer antler velvet good supplements were sent to his house, and he finally recovered after raising them for half a month.
Then as soon as he got out of bed, he heard the news from the little maid.
When Zhao Qiancheng was having a tea and poetry party with a group of sons, he was pushing the cup and setting it up, when he was suddenly kidnapped by the guards in the palace.
Lin Ziang's first reaction was that this guy's matter in Yuzhou must have been exposed.
He went to Yuzhou with Zhao Qiancheng, even if Zhao Qiancheng did not have him in his fold, but he did go to Yuzhou, there is no doubt about it.
Now, if His Majesty asks Zhao Qiancheng about his crimes, he will inevitably be implicated.
After all, he knew about it, but he didn't report it.
However, what made Lin Ziang very happy was that his name on the fold was erased by Zhao Qiancheng.
At this moment, he suddenly thanked Zhao Qiancheng for his ruthlessness.
Because Zhao Qiancheng only thought about taking credit, he must not have mentioned him half a point when he reported the matter.
That's a good thing for him now.
What a blessing in disguise!
Next, he just needs to keep pretending to be sick, and after the news of Zhao Qiancheng comes from the palace, he will respond in a targeted manner.
"Guo Di, if someone says it, it means that I am still sick and unconscious."
"Yes, young master."
"By the way, go prepare a bucket of ice water, I'm going to take a bath."
"Yes." Hearing Lin Ziang's order, his little servant nodded and agreed.
In the palace, Zhao Qiancheng, who was kidnapped, was a little excited because he had just drunk some wine.
When he was on the road before, he kept shouting why he wanted to tie him up, help him loosen it, and so on.
The guards who still took the lead to catch him couldn't see it, and directly splashed him with cold water to make him barely sober up.
"Zhao Gongzi, Your Majesty let you in." The eunuch Laifu waved a handful of dust and spoke.
Hearing this, the two guards who pressed him immediately led him to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the left and right ministers who were summoned by His Majesty to discuss matters and several cabinet ministers had been talking for a while, and now when they saw Zhao Qiancheng coming in, they stood aside silently and loaded wood.
"Knock on Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty."
"Okay, you Zhao Qiancheng, that's how you deceived your superiors and subordinates and helped me do things?"
The moment he saw Zhao Qiancheng, His Majesty Qi Heng was angry and smashed the fold directly on him.
Zhao Qiancheng couldn't help shaking his body, pressed his waist down, his head buckled on the ground, and his voice was a little trembling.
"Your Majesty is angry."
"Rest your anger! See for yourself what good things you've done! ”
Hearing His Majesty say this, Zhao Qiancheng picked up the fold next to him and looked at it twice, and the cold sweat on his forehead instantly slipped down.
The damn prefect of Yuzhou, this is clearly a trap for him.
He can suppress these things, deal with them, and not let His Majesty know.
It's good now, it's only been less than ten days, and he has stabbed in front of His Majesty, but it's really a waste!
"Your Majesty is angry! Weichen doesn't know about this! Zhao Qiancheng kowtowed his head and spoke.
Because he did his errand well, His Majesty rewarded him with a half-large official position.
I didn't know that I was happy for a few days, and I was in trouble.
"You don't know? I specially asked you to visit Yuzhou to investigate the people's situation there, what is the result of your investigation? ”
"The people live and work in peace? Good harvest in the field? Friendly, fair and honest officials?
Oh, it's a good way to whitewash the peace of the peace, is it really a fool to coax me, ah? Qi Heng spoke angrily.
"Your Majesty is angry!" The people standing on either side hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, Weichen really doesn't know about this.
When Weichen was ordered by the emperor to go to Yuzhou, everything was fine in Yuzhou, the wind and rain were smooth, there was no heavy rain and the prefect of Yuzhou bullied the people, refused to be homeless, and asked His Majesty to investigate. Zhao Qiancheng said tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, although this kid is not doing things properly, he has been honest since he was a child, and he really doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty.
Moreover, the flood happened seven days ago, but Qiancheng came back ten days ago, according to the time calculation, before he came back, there was indeed no accident in Yuzhou.
Moreover, the prefect of Yuzhou can do this step, it is really a cunning rabbit, a cunning and cunning, and Qiancheng is still young, so he must have been deceived by his appearance. ”
Zhao Qiancheng's father, Zhao Shilang, hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"You don't know about this?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen really doesn't know." Zhao Qiancheng knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, and his speech was a little stumbling.
"If I'm not mistaken, when you went to Yuzhou, you followed the son of the Marquis of Yong'an?"
"Back to Your Majesty, yes."
"Someone, go and invite the son of the Marquis of Yong'an Mansion to come over for questioning." Qi Heng spoke.
Zhao Qiancheng's rhetoric was really a coincidence, and he didn't believe it.
Moreover, since he knew about the private affairs of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, he suddenly became a little curious, wanting to see what kind of person the current son of the Yong'an Hou Mansion was.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hearing that His Majesty had sent someone to invite Lin Ziang, Zhao Qiancheng's heart rose tightly again.
Taking advantage of this, Qi Heng opened his mouth and asked about the ministers in the imperial study.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks about this incident in Yuzhou?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the impact of the flood is really bad, and he must immediately send someone to punish the prefect of Yuzhou, control the flood, appease the people, and open a warehouse to release grain."
Weichen seconded.
"Reconsideration."
"Who do you think I should send?" Qi Heng continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to atone for his sins and go to Yuzhou to deal with this matter." Zhao Qiancheng hurriedly spoke under his father's various hints.
"You? Scold! Qi Heng sneered and ignored him.
"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister has two candidates to recommend." Liao Yong, the left minister, spoke.
"Oh?"
"Chu Mo, the general of Zhenbei, and Zhao Yuhai, the son of Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, are worthy of this position."
"Your Majesty, the old minister also has someone to recommend." Right Prime Minister Shen Qifeng opened his mouth not to be outdone.
"It's okay to talk about it."
"The old minister thinks that Qin Ke, the little grandfather of the Guogong Mansion, is good."
"In that case, send the three of them over." Qi Heng spoke.
"Yes."
During this time, a eunuch came to report it.
"Your Majesty, Yong'an Houfu Lin Gongzi has been infected with wind disease since he returned to Beijing from Yuzhou, and when the old slave passed, Lin Gongzi was seriously ill and could not come, Yong'an Hou specially came to make amends and listen to the call."
"Sick? Send the Imperial Doctor over and take a look. ”
"Wow!"
"Zhao Qiancheng, you go outside and kneel first."
"The sinner obeys." Hearing His Majesty's words, Zhao Qiancheng nodded, and then knelt outside the imperial study and waited.
After a while, all the three summoned people arrived in the imperial study.
Qi Heng knew that the disaster was urgent, and he didn't be polite to them, and directly ordered the three of them to go back to their homes to clean up and go to Yuzhou immediately to deal with the disaster.
He also specially rewarded them with a Shangfang sword, in order to subdue the prefect of Yuzhou at a critical time and punish corrupt officials.
After the three of them received the order, they quickly went back to prepare.
After this matter was dealt with, Qi Heng waved his hand and asked the other ministers to step back together.
As for Zhao Qiancheng, who was kneeling outside, he was taken home by Zhao Shilang and temporarily placed under house arrest.
And Yong'an Hou, His Majesty asked him to go back, but he didn't see him at all.
————
After Bai Jinli heard Erhuo's report, she realized that the disaster was far more serious than she imagined.
Although the prefect of Yuzhou sent people to prevent the displaced people from escaping, in the end, because of the weather, some people still escaped.
Among them, some people walked along the official road to Huicheng.
I heard that there are a lot more beggars in Huicheng today, and there are even a few beggars who have been used by the opponents of the snack shops in Huicheng and went to the door of the snack shop to find fault.
The shopkeeper of Huicheng's snack shop is Lin Shenyuan's person, and he solved this matter perfectly.
In addition, a pot was set up at the door of the snack shop and porridge was given free of charge, so that those beggars could have something to eat.
According to her request, the shopkeeper of the Huicheng snack shop took out all the income in the shop since it opened, asked a special doctor, replaced it with medicinal materials, and personally escorted it to Yuzhou.
Today, the rain in Yuzhou is still falling.
The face of the prefect of Yuzhou who was tortured by the current situation was also difficult to look at.
He thought the rainstorm was just a few days.
Who would have thought that there would be a situation that has not been seen in decades.
Now he regrets that he didn't report it, but it's too late.
If he reports it at this moment, his official position will definitely not be guaranteed.
Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and take one step at a time.
Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to the people at all, but someone came to him and told him about the benefits and stakes.
After listening to that, the prefect of Yuzhou was forced to open a granary and let his subordinates go over to release grain.
He also arranged for officials from all localities, districts, and counties to go to various villages to investigate the people's situation and rescue the people.
At the same time, doctors from various pharmacies in Yuzhou were forcibly summoned to help the displaced people see a doctor.
He's scared too!
He was afraid that the legendary plague would really appear.
Once the plague appears and spreads, then the entire Yuzhou, including him, will be doomed.
At that time, it will not only be a matter of the black yarn hat, but even the head on his neck and the nine clans may not be able to keep it.
However, because of the long delay.
The damage caused by the torrential rains is innumerable, and the destruction of Heti has caused terrible consequences.
It's a mess out there.
The corpses of the dead, the rotting animal carcasses of all kinds, including the homeless who were so hungry that they had to rely on the bark of rainwater trees and even the carcasses of animals to feed their hunger, it was not too difficult to deal with.
Even if the doctors have been sent to diagnose and treat them, it is obviously too late at this moment.
A large number of displaced people have developed symptoms of fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and coma.
The appearance of this symptom made the entire Yuzhou fall into a panic.
