After being framed by the county lord of Chonghua and released from prison that time, Xiao Tingsheng and Xiao Pingzhang first explained to him the situation of the Changlin Palace, and he only said that he would run less to the imperial city and go to Jifeng Hall more to wander around, and he would not give anyone a chance to be slandered; When Xiao Yuanshi asked him to enter the palace to play with him, he suddenly became mature and solemnly analyzed, and he might be a breakthrough for people who were suspicious of Daliang and Changlin Palace. On the surface, he still looks the same as before, but his actions are much more stable.

Xiao Pingjing's title of Xiao Lin Shu is not called in vain, and disliking intrigue does not mean that he is stupid and cannot be detected. This is different from Lin Xi, he was originally going to go straight to the imperial city to go to the cabinet, but suddenly felt that something seemed wrong, and then thought that Xiao Pingzhang would have more weight to find the cabinet in this matter, so he took a turn and went to the Changlin Mansion first to tell Xiao Pingzhang about the matter.

"Big brother, there weren't many patients in the branch of Jifeng Hall there, but today, almost half of the people from Chixia Town came, and a lot of people died." After Xiao Pingjing finished talking about what happened, he said his guess, "I heard those patients say that there was originally a barefoot doctor who came to see them and did not accept the consultation fee, but they did not cure people, but the condition became more and more serious, and at this time, the barefoot doctor suddenly disappeared, and they went to Jifeng Hall." At this time, the epidemic has become a climate, and I am afraid that there are already people infected in the capital, big brother, do you think this epidemic is likely to be man-made? ”

Xiao Pingzhang's face changed when Fang listened to Xiao Pingjing's words, and after listening to his brother's analysis, he could be sure that this was definitely artificial. As for who did it, Xiao Pingzhang couldn't help but think of an order given by the queen a few days ago, asking Xun Feizhan to arrest Pu Yangying, but he was one step late. Later, when I met Xun Feizhan, I heard him say that the queen asked him to pay attention to whether there were natural and man-made disasters happening, and now the epidemic in Chixia Town happened to be a natural and man-made disaster. In this way, Xiao Pingzhang can conclude that this matter must have been done by this unknown Puyang Ying.

These were just momentary thoughts, and now the situation is urgent, not the time to think about it. At this time, it was not early, if it was late, all the ministers were afraid that they would all go home, Xiao Pingzhang quickly made a decision, pulled Xiao Pingjing on his horse, and went to the imperial city.

The golden crow fell obliquely, and all the officials walked out of the inner city together, and after saluting each other, they prepared to go to their respective homes, and then the sound of eager horses' hooves sounded not far away, so that this wave of officials looked at each other, after all, in this capital, especially in this area close to the imperial city, no one dared to run horses at will, and they stretched their necks, ready to see who was so bold.

In just such a while, the two horses have arrived in front of everyone, it is the two brothers of Changlin Palace, suddenly everyone's face is not good-looking, and the heart finally suppressed the mind of making trouble for Changlin Palace, but this Changlin Mansion is more arrogant than in the past, in the past, it was just Xiao Pingjing alone to mess around, and now even the steady and thoughtful Prince of Changlin has launched a madness, and he dares to gallop in the capital, which is simply unreasonable! The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory have even begun to work on the draft, preparing to write an excerpt immediately after returning to the palace, and to consult with His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a copy of the Lin Wangfu.

Everyone's thoughts and brothers are clear, but now is not the time to pay attention to these, Xiao Pingjing even shouted urgently before the horse stopped: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a sudden epidemic in Chixia Town, western Beijing, and there is a shortage of doctors and medicinal materials, please also ask the Imperial Medical Department for support!" ”

The ministers looked at each other, and at this time the horse also stopped, and after the two brothers dismounted, Xiao Pingzhang walked in front of Xun Baishui and took Xiao Pingjing to salute the ministers. No matter what the ministers were thinking in their hearts, they were patient at the moment to return the salute.

Then, Jing Zhao Yin Li Gu asked without waiting for everyone to speak: "Is what the second son said true?" But Jing Zhaoyin Mansion has not received a report from a folk doctor? ”

It's no wonder that he is in a hurry, after all, this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and Chixia Town is in the west of Beijing, once the epidemic breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable. But now Xiao Pingjing actually shouted directly to let the Tai Hospital send someone, and the eyes of the ministers looking at him just now were meaningful, but he really didn't receive the news, so he should have asked with these words.

"That's right, if it's really an epidemic, to the point where you need the support of the Tai Hospital, why hasn't Jing Zhaoyin received the news?" Xun Baishui knows Xiao Pingzhang the most, and he will never do anything to teach people a handle. He already believed it, but this is indeed inconsistent with the rules, for the epidemic, Da Liang has a set of regulations, so he looked at Xiao Pingzhang, "The old man originally thought that the prince was a man who understood the rules, but he didn't expect to follow Brother Ling's nonsense." ”

"Lord Xun also knows that Pingzhang is a person, and he is the most cautious on weekdays, if it is not an emergency, how can it be so." Xiao Pingzhang smiled bitterly and hugged Xun Baishui, his face was still cautious, "It's just that although Pingjing likes to play a little, he knows how to be measured, and he will never be targeted." Moreover, it was Miss Lin Xi, the head of Jifeng Hall, who asked Ping Jing to go directly to the cabinet for help, if it weren't for the imminent time, it would never be possible. According to Pingjing, now that most of Chixia Town has been infected with the epidemic, if it is allowed to continue like this, please ask Lord Xun to make a decision as soon as possible! ”

Xun Baishui saw something else in Xiao Pingzhang's eyes, so he didn't delay, and immediately ordered the people around him: "You, immediately notify Taichang Siqing that there is a suspected epidemic in Chixia Town, western Beijing, and order the Taiyi Department to immediately send someone to check it, and report the details to the cabinet!" …… And you, you go and ask the two Shangshu adults of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and come to the court to discuss the matter! You, go and inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother! ”

Xiao Xin's departure from Beijing this time was to let the prince govern, not directly to the cabinet, so in addition to letting the Imperial Medical Department go to check, other major matters basically had to be reported to Xiao Yuanshi. And Xiao Yuanshi was shocked when there was a fire in the East Palace, and he has been living in the south side hall of Zhengyang Palace these days to recuperate, so he has to inform the prince and the queen. The change of the queen may not be clear or even noticeable to others, but Xun Baishui, the elder brother, is the most intuitive, and he even suspects in his heart that His Majesty will let the prince govern this time, and nine times out of ten it is because he believes in the queen. As for the harem, it is not allowed to interfere in politics...... Hehe, it can only be understood but not spoken.

After the assignment was completed, Xiao Pingzhang, as the prince of Changlin, naturally wanted to follow Xun Baishui to the court, but Xiao Pingjing couldn't go, but it was impossible for him to wait here. Since what Lin Xi arranged for him to do had been done, he naturally flashed early, and immediately left his brother and a cadre of ministers, and hurriedly returned to the Jifeng Hall branch in western Beijing.

The idle people have all performed their duties, and on the way between Xiao Pingzhang and Xun Baishui, Xun Baishui asked Xiao Pingzhang.

"Since the prince believes that it is indeed an epidemic, what are you still suspicious? Could it be that there is something wrong with this epidemic? ”
