The letters on the eunuch's body were written by Shi Shi, the governor of the Qin Dynasty, and the scribes checked the seals and fire paint, and they were sure.

Now this letter is in Yang Jincheng's hands.

Wu Jiang did not present the letter to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but sent it directly to the Protector's Mansion.

Yang Jincheng said: "Jiao Shengqi is still a fellow acquaintance, I remember that he has a niece who is still in the cold palace." ”

When the Great Qi Dynasty was established, there were 200 guards in the world, 3,000 guards, and when Emperor Taizu died, there were 560 guards, 5,200 guards, and the Davids in Henan Province were originally the army of Yang Feng, the old protector of the country, until now, personnel changes, the old and the new alternate, but these guards are still the head of the Yang family.

Six months ago, the previous commander of Luoyang Wei relapsed and died of an old injury, and when the news came, Yang Feng asked his fellow commander Jiao Shengqi to take charge, and only waited for the official appointment of the imperial court, Jiao Shengqi was officially promoted to command.

Since the personnel changes three years ago were unsuccessful, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has been like a decoration, and the guards in the Northwest, Central Plains and Yanbei, whether it is a personnel task or a deployment of troops, are all up to King Qin, the Yang family and Yang Qin, and what the Governor's Office of the Five Armies can do is just to pass on documents.

In this case, it stands to reason that the official appointment of the imperial court will be issued soon, but Jiao Shengqi's luck is not very good, he just happened to meet the death of the Empress Dowager, and he came and went, although everyone knew that he was the commander of Luoyangwei, but in fact, he was only a substitute commander.

Jiao Shengqi's niece is the beauty of Emperor Chongwen of Daxing, after Emperor Chongwen's "death", except for the two queen mothers, all the other concubines temporarily live in the cold palace, and after the official burial of Emperor Daxing, these concubines will be resettled, some will stay in the palace, and some will go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to practice.

Emperor Chongwen is not close to women, and there are only a dozen or so women in his harem who entered the palace for the second draft.

Jiao Meiren is one of them.

She and Meng Meiren from Xi'an originally lived in the Yuehua Palace of Empress Dowager Mao.

Yang Jincheng thought for a moment and said, "Tell the palace and let Jiao Meiren go to wait for Empress Dowager Mao." ”

The cronies were stunned for a moment and said: "This Jiao Meiren was originally the person of the Empress Dowager Mao, and now let her come out of the cold palace and return to the Empress Dowager Mao, the Kunxiu Palace is ......."

Now living in Kunxiu Palace is the Empress Dowager Yang.

Yang Jincheng didn't answer, and instead said: "Pass the order, be sure to escort the third prince and the county lord of Yining out of Luoyang, let the people from Feiyuwei and the Tai Hospital go over in person, and tell Jiao Shengqi that if the third prince and the county lord of Yining have a mistake, he will apologize with death." ”

Speaking of the last two sentences, Yang Jincheng's face was like frost. Over the years, these people have lived too comfortably, and their grandfather has been too indulgent to them.

Qin Sui's face changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, the epidemic is menacing, maybe the third prince and the county lord of Yining will ...... before the people from the Tai Hospital rush over."

Yang Jincheng sneered: "Then send the heads of Luoyang Weiyi and others to Xi'an!" ”

The relatives didn't dare to ask again, and quickly went out to deliver the message.

At this time, the scene that happened in front of the city gate had spread all over the capital.

"A pair of sons and daughters of King Qin have contracted the epidemic!"

"A pair of sons and daughters of King Qin were trapped in Luoyang by Luoyang Wei, and the eunuch desperately went to Beijing to deliver a letter, and was arrested by Feiyuwei and put in prison!"

......

In Baoding Mansion, Xiao Ren frowned, pacing back and forth in the house, and the joyful voice of the little chestnut came from outside: "General Yue, you are here!"

Yue Xiaojiang is Yue Yang, this time Zhou Zheng entered Beijing, and Yue Yang was Zhou Zheng's guard captain.

The so-called captain of the guard is just a name for the outside world. There were only twelve guards in one team, and Yue Yang commanded five teams and sixty people under his command.

These sixty people were all the guards who followed Zhou Zheng and the county lord of Yining into Beijing.

However, Yue Yang also has another identity, he is the left vanguard of the cavalry battalion of the Western Qin Army, commanding four hundred cavalry.

This time, Yueyang's 400 cavalry disguised themselves and left the northwest in several groups, escorting them all the way.

Seeing Yue Yang, Xiao Ren's brows finally relaxed, and he asked, "How is Luoyang?" ”

Yue Yang unceremoniously picked up Xiao Ren's teacup and took a few sips, and said with a smile: "It was all expected by the prince, as soon as Gonggong Qiao entered Beijing, he was locked up." ”

Xiao Ren snorted coldly and said, "The whole Great Qi knows about this matter. ”

Yue Yang grinned and said, "How can it be so exaggerated, at most, it will only spread all over these places near the capital." Do you think everyone is as well-informed as we are? ”

Xiao Ren said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm asking about Luoyang." ”

"Luoyang has become a lonely city", Yue Yang put away the smile on his face, and said with a straight face, "The acting commander named Jiao Shengqi is a ruthless character, put a knife on the neck of the Luoyang prefect, and forced him to give an order, and the people infected with the epidemic, regardless of life or death, are all pulled outside the city to be incinerated, and those who have sick people, even if they are not sick, also catch the sick camp outside the city, as long as they enter the sick camp, don't want to come out alive, many people are walking in, lying out, and when they come out, they will be transported to the incineration site and burned." ”

Xiao Ren frowned and said, "It seems that Jiao Shengqi is resolute and tough, but why is the epidemic in Luoyang still not under control?" ”

Indeed, according to the information received in the past two days, the epidemic in Luoyang has not been controlled, but has become more and more serious, and countless people have died.

Yue Yang said: "What I said is only on the surface, in Luoyang City, but in private, you can buy a life, a living person is a thousand taels, and a dead person is five hundred taels." As long as you take out the money, whether it is a living person who is not infected with the disease, or a dead person who has died of the epidemic, you can buy it all. ”

No wonder the newspaper says that the dead are poor people.

Xiao Ren asked, "So can this epidemic be cured?" ”

"Qishao, aren't you kidding? If I can't be cured, can I still come to you? The third prince and the county lord of Yining were all cured, and there was no panacea, just the medicinal soup prepared by Mr. Wu himself, and after drinking it three times, it was fine. ”

As soon as Yue Yang stepped into the territory of Baoding, Xiao Ren received the news, and he also knew that the condition of Zhou Zheng and the county lord of Yining was not as terrifying as the legend, otherwise he would have received an order to enter Luoyang to save people.

Moreover, when he asked Yue Yang, Yue Yang said all the things in Luoyang City, but he didn't mention Zhou Zheng and the county lord of Yining, so it can be seen that these two people are nothing serious.

However, now that he heard from Yue Yang's mouth that they had been cured, Xiao Ren was still relieved and asked, "Mr. Wu can be cured, but the people in Tai Hospital can't be cured?" ”

Yue Yang said disdainfully: "The people of the Tai Hospital have not been able to get close to Luoyang City so far, and they have been stopped outside by Jiao Shengqi's people, but Gonggong Qiao made such a fuss, and the imperial court sent Feiyuwei over, Jiao Shengqi dared to stop the Tai Hospital, but he didn't dare to stop Feiyuwei." ”

Xiao Ren groaned: "The Yang family will not sit idly by, Luoyang Wei obeys the orders of the Yang family, Jiao Shengqi does this, it will never be the Yang family's instructions, could it be that he has taken refuge in others?" ”
