Chapter 466: Southern Plague

Lan Qingxuan turned her head and glanced at Tian Wenqiu and said, "That's the same." :。 ”

Tian Wenqiu was a little uncomfortable with her, pursed her lips lightly and said, "Does the princess think I'm stupid and pitiful?" ”

"You're not stupid or pathetic." Lan Qingxuan smiled and said, "You're just keeping your sweetheart, there's nothing wrong with that." ”

Tian Wenqiu's eyes dimmed a little and said: "But I feel that I am farther away from him, I saw him yesterday when I went to ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to ask for peace, and he didn't even look at me." ”

Lan Qingxuan sighed softly and didn't make any comments on this matter.

"Does the princess also think that I am wrong?" Tian Wenqiu asked again.

Lan Qingxuan smiled and said: "Wrong and right are only relative, it depends on what you think, and the fault in the eyes of others may not be the fault in your heart, you don't have to care about other people's opinions." ”

Tian Wenqiu's face was pale, and his back was even more lonely when he left.

Lan Qingxuan sighed helplessly when she saw her appearance, in the final analysis, such a thing still depends on Tian Wenqiu's choice.

Now there are still a few months left before Tian Wenqiu and the simple wedding, I hope she can make the right choice by then.

At the same time as Lan Qingxuan and Tian Wenqiu were talking, an eight-hundred-mile fast horse rushed into the capital, and the knight on the horse rode on the horse and said loudly: "Get out of the way, eight-hundred-mile urgent!" ”

The knight on the horse was gray-headed and looked extremely embarrassed.

The people around them saw this scene with a little insight and immediately knew that something big had happened again, and they hurriedly avoided it at the moment.

The horse did not rush into the yamen of the military headquarters as the people expected, but directly entered the yamen of the household department.

When the knight arrived at the door, he said to the guards guarding the door, "Something is wrong in the south!" ”

After he said this, he fainted directly to the ground due to excessive fatigue.

The guards hurriedly sent the red-lacquered documents on his body to the hands of Tobe Shangshu, and several other guards helped him up and sent him to the side hall to rest.

When he opened the document in his hand, he was startled, and immediately entered the palace with the document.

At this time, the time of the previous dynasty had already passed, because the head of the household was in a hurry, the emperor met the head of the house in the imperial study, and the emperor looked solemn after reading the documents in the hand of the head of the house.

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the plague is rampant in the south, and this matter must be dealt with urgently." ”

The emperor's eyes were also a little scorched, and the urgent emergency report clearly stated that the plague was rampant in the southern provinces, and the state capital had invited many doctors to treat it, but the epidemic was not controlled, but spread everywhere.

The emperor immediately summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and the ministers in the court heard about this matter and discussed one after another, but the discussion came and went, and the result was only to send the imperial doctor to the disaster area before and outside the disaster area, so that the court could pull out silver and medicinal herbs and other suggestions without much achievement.

After hearing the words of the ministers, the emperor asked, "The plague naturally needs to be controlled, but there is also a person in charge, who is willing to preside over this matter?" ”

The ministers of the court were silent one by one when they heard this, and they also lowered their heads, in their opinion, the plague is really thankless, this time the epidemic is menacing, and it has not been controlled until now, and the imperial doctors in Beijing may not be much more clever than the folk doctors, so this matter is too risky.

When the emperor saw this scene, his heart was on fire, and he swept around and said, "Doesn't anyone want to go?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they all lowered their heads even more, and only the left minister came out and said: "The old minister is willing to go." ”

The emperor glanced at Zuo Xiang and felt very relieved, but Zuo Xiang is the highest official position in the court, and the documents that need to be handled on weekdays are piled up, if he goes, who will deal with the affairs of the court?

The emperor nodded, but said: "Jiang Aiqing's heart I know, but there are still many official documents in the court that you need to help me deal with, and there is no precedent for the left minister in the court to leave the court, so you can't go." Is there anything else you would like to love? ”

The ministers in the court bowed their heads one by one, and none of them answered.

When the emperor saw this, the anger in his eyes became thicker, and he looked at Jian Ren and Jian Yi who were standing in front and said, "Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend the crown prince and the virtuous king?" ”

The two of them were usually arguing, but when the emperor asked, he said in unison with a tacit understanding: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run." ”

As soon as the emperor saw the expressions on the faces of the two, he was angry for three points in his heart, and said coldly: "Think about it in the long run? When you come out, I'm afraid that the people of the south will be dead! ”

The two glanced at each other, and for the first time there was no bickering in the court.

Jian Ren's eyes turned around and said: "This time the plague in the south was not dealt with properly by the ninth brother when he was in disaster relief last time, so that too many corpses accumulated on the ground, and now the spring is moving, so this kind of thing happened." The matter of disaster relief was handled by the ninth brother, and this matter was also handled by the ninth brother, so it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end! ”

Jian Yi hurriedly echoed: "The prince is reasonable, the ninth brother went to the south last time, and he is familiar with that side, and this time he is familiar with the south, and it is more suitable than anyone else to go." ”

The emperor originally had some hope for the two of them, thinking that no matter how much the two quarreled badly, it was for the sake of state affairs, although there was a little selfishness in the middle, but it was not a big deal.

But at this time, the two of them pushed out the simplicity like this, and in the eyes of the emperor, the behavior of the two was a little excessive.

The emperor knew before that Jian Ren was acting viciously, and it was not strange for Jian Ren to say this, but Jian Yi, the son of the virtuous king who was known as a virtuous king in Beijing, and it was rumored that the virtuous king who loved the people like a son, pushed out his own brother when he encountered danger, and this way of acting was really excessive in the eyes of the emperor.

The emperor's hand slapped heavily on the dragon case and said: "Plainly, you all shout that you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and now that such a little thing has happened, you are really disappointed by me, if King Luo is not sick......"

He said this himself, and he couldn't go on with the rest of the words, every time there was a crisis before, when there was something he couldn't handle, there was always Jian Yu who stood up to it, but at this time, Jian Yu's illness became like this, how could he not disappoint the emperor?

Only at this time can he more truly discover Jian Yu's goodness. 、

When everyone saw that the emperor was angry, no one dared to say anything more, and the emperor was angry, knowing that this matter could not be settled today, so he brushed his sleeves and left.

In the afternoon of the same day, he simply entered the palace and asked to see the emperor and said: "Father, the minister has heard about the plague in the south, and the minister is willing to go!" ”

Today, Jian Ren and Jian Yi pushed Simple out in front of the emperor, and the emperor was furious, but at this time, when he heard Simple himself take the initiative to stand up, the emperor's heart was another feeling.

The Emperor asked, "Do you know how dangerous it is to go?" ”

"Erchen knows." He said simply: "But Erchen is not afraid!" Erchen believed that Erchen had the ability to control this plague. ”

The emperor looked at him with a look of relief in his eyes, and said softly, "You are really my good son. ”

Simply whispered: "Erchen knows that every time there is something in Daqin before, it is the third brother who stands up, and now that the third brother is seriously ill, Erchen is willing to carry this matter for his father." ”

The emperor knew that he had been close to Jian Yu since he was a child, and the emperor felt that Jian Yu was even more cute, so compared with Jian Ren and Jian Yi, they were a little hateful.

He patted the simple shoulder lightly and said, "Have you asked your mother?" Does she agree with you going south? ”

"The mother concubine is distressed, and the son-in-law naturally disagrees." The simple eyes shone firmly: "But Erchen has grown up, and he can make his own decisions about many things, and he can no longer hide behind his mother to seek protection." ”

The emperor nodded and said: "I am very happy that you have this heart, but Dan'er, you are also the son of your father, and your father doesn't want you to have anything to do, this time it is too dangerous to go south to control the plague, you let your father think about it." ”

He usually called himself me, and at this time he felt pity in his heart, but he called himself his father like an ordinary father.

He said simply and softly: "The matter of the plague in the south cannot be delayed, and if we delay for one more day, more people will die, and I ask my father to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

The Emperor nodded lightly and motioned for him to go down.

After Simple left, this matter reached Concubine Xian, who immediately burst into tears, she wanted to dissuade Simple, but Simple avoided her.

Concubine Xian knew that the reason why Simple was like this was just because she had given him and Tian Wenqiu a marriage before, and she had promised in front of Simple that if there was a suitable opportunity, she would withdraw from Hetian Wenqiu's marriage for him, but in Concubine Xian's selfish heart, she still hoped that Simple could marry Tian Wenqiu, so that matter has been delayed.

This delay dragged Luo Hongshuang into Beijing, and then ruined Tian Wenqiu's appearance.

Tian Wenqiu's appearance was ruined, Concubine Xian felt even more that she couldn't withdraw from Tian Wenqiu's marriage, after returning to Beijing after simply dealing with disaster relief last time, the emperor had asked Concubine Xian about this, Concubine Xian immediately said that she would marry Tian Wenqiu, because Concubine Xian's attitude was very clear, the emperor did not ask about this matter again.

And because of this incident, Simple came to Concubine Xian to quarrel once, and Concubine Xian, who was furious at that time, reprimanded Simple Harshly, and it was also because of Concubine Xian's reprimand that Simple knew that the marriage between him and Jiang Xiangting was really hopeless.

These days, I rarely enter the palace to ask Concubine Xian for peace, Concubine Xian only said that he was making trouble with her, and he didn't take it too seriously, but he didn't expect to make this decision so simply but decisively.

Concubine Xian only knew that Simple liked Jiang Xiangting before, but she didn't expect his feelings for Jiang Xiangting to be so deep, and she knew that the reason why Simple made this choice was just to make an end for herself.
