Chapter Ninety-One: Thoughts in the Palace

Yunmeng Town is located in the easternmost part of Ganzhou, and the nearest to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The Zhengde dynasty moved the capital from Jinling to Hangzhou ten years ago, and it is said that it was not to escape the war, but the former national teacher who cursed Jinling.

It is not known whether there is a curse, but after Zhengde did leave the national teacher, there was indeed an unprecedented turmoil.

First of all, ten years ago, the river burst its banks, and hundreds of thousands of fertile fields in the Hetao Plain suddenly became Zeguo, and five years after moving the capital, Yan Guo came to attack. The common people of the northern land were killed and wounded innumerably.

The living beings are in urgent need of being upside down, and the society is in danger of being tired, and finally the land is cut and the compensation is paid.

Two years ago, the climate was abnormal, and the warm and rainy Jianghuai region suddenly became hot and rainy, and it became a general area of Guangzhou.

As a result, a miasma imported from Qiongzhou was not confined to the land of Nanban, and quickly spread to the Jinling area, so that the Ju Dynasty was shocked.

The miasma has not yet dissipated, and today, two years later, the residents of the Qiantang River along the coast have begun to vomit and diarrhea, and a new plague has gradually spread.

The disease is called "cholera".

Unlike malaria, which takes a long time to torment people and eventually kills. Cholera is a more virulent infectious disease, and it only takes a week or less to be reincarnated if left untreated.

Hangzhou was abused by malaria to the point that it had to ban foreign merchants from traveling with "cholera" and postpone the imperial examination that year.

The emperor worshipped his ancestors, the Temple of Heaven sacrificed to the heavens, and the altar of the earth sacrificed to the earth, and gathered the imperial doctors to go to various places for disaster relief, but the result was little effect. In addition to making Jingshi a "comfortable nest", other places still can't stop this menacing plague.

The reason for the cholera outbreak in Yunmeng Town is somewhat playful.

A month ago, it was a normal day. A merchant from near the Qiantang River had to come to Yunmeng Town to resell the goods because of the backlog of goods caused by the closure of Hangzhou City.

Previously, he had contracted cholera on the road, and when he arrived at the city gate, his mouth was dry and uncomfortable, and he had a high fever for several days, and he accidentally fell into a well near the city gate.

The soldiers fished out the man and continued to use the well water without taking it seriously. A few days later, the officers and soldiers defending the city contracted cholera, and a large-scale riot ensued.

Yunmeng Town, the largest town in Ganzhou, has always been densely populated and busy. The speed of cholera spreading in this land is almost out of control, and in less than a week, cholera patients have appeared in every county, township and village in Ganzhou.

The government and the opposition were shocked and quickly sent the imperial court to help, but after the outbreak, cholera was like a mad dog that broke free from the chains, seeing who bites whom.

The situation in Ganzhou was out of control, so that the plague was rampant. The people are struggling and complaining. Different from the sweet and gentle character of the Jianghuai people, the people of Ganzhou have been brave since ancient times, and several rebellions broke out in Ganzhou, but fortunately they were quickly suppressed.

But everyone knows that if the plague does not pass, the entire dynasty will usher in earth-shaking changes.

In the city of Hangzhou, the imperial palace, the time of the child.

The emperor of the dynasty, Que Haoyi, has passed the age of knowing the mandate of heaven, but it is difficult to "know the mandate of heaven" in recent days.

The cavalry in various parts of Ganzhou was in chaos, and the two places were even more chaotic. Bagui Guangxi is close to Qiongzhou and Fengzhou, and it is most seriously affected by the plague, and it has reached the point where there is no cooking for 100 miles.

Que Haoyi finished reading the day's recitals and rubbed his head that hurt to death. The imperial doctor knelt on the side to check the pulse, or those "no fault" tonic prescriptions.

The great eunuch Liu Jin walked into the Dragon Palace, holding a stalk of floating dust in his hand, and walked respectfully to the side of the dragon couch.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards commanded An Yongnian to report on his work and kneel outside the hall, saying that he had something important to return."

If Emperor Zhengde of the Chinese Dynasty Que Haoyi still wants to see a foreign minister when he is a son, then the eight achievements are the commander of Jinyi Weidu An Yongnian.

This person who controls the entire Jinyi Guard holds the top secret of the Hua Dynasty. The establishment of Jinyiwei was only a matter of these two years, and as a result, because of his high power and the importance of being used by the emperor, the scale of tens of thousands of people suddenly developed.

An Yongnian unloaded his sword and entered the Xilong Palace to meet the emperor in a flying fish suit.

Que Haoyi, who had white temples, was lying on the dragon couch to raise himself, and when he saw An Yongnian entering the hall, he didn't get up, so he nodded weakly on the couch.

An Yongnian immediately stood up, walked forward with the front hem of the flying fish suit, and knelt respectfully two steps away from the dragon couch.

Que Haoyi asked solemnly in an extremely old voice: "Yongnian, have you found a spirit this time?" ”

The emperor on the couch showed his helplessness behind the seriousness. However, the person he cares about is not a passerby, and the "spirit" in his mouth is the only son of the former national teacher.

As soon as this child was born, he was given a purple robe and designated as the next national teacher who was hereditary and replaced. He once caressed the child in his arms and raised him as his own son.

But who would have thought that the national teacher in the middle of the day thought that the emperor was going to execute him, and fled angrily in order to protect his wife and children.

This exodus 12 years ago shook the government and the opposition. The old ministers have long been dissatisfied with the emperor's many years of courtesy, and even officials in various places have triggered the case of executing Taoist priests before receiving the emperor's edict.

After the national teacher fled, Que Hao ordered Dali Siqing to conduct an investigation and bring the national teacher back for questioning. The national teacher who escaped from Beijing seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news.

People in the world say that the national teacher is successful in cultivating immortals and his family is soaring, and Que Haoyi later believed it. Since the disappearance of this family twelve years ago, he has forgiven Ji Yuzhi's sins, and he has not established a national teacher again.

This public case should have ended here, but who knew that Que Haoyi's dynastic crisis had just begun.

In the 30th year of Zhengde, the plague broke out everywhere, and it lasted for two years and did not end. If there is a plague, there must be a plague god, and Que Haoyi sprouted the heart of visiting again.

Just two years ago, Jinyiwei was established and was born specifically to find Ji Youling, but until today there is still nothing.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are some eyebrows."

Que Haoyi was already ready to be disappointed, but he didn't expect An Yongnian to say "some eyebrows", which made Que Haoyi extremely surprised.

"Say! What eyebrows. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been ascertained that twelve years ago, the national teacher's family disappeared in Ganzhou. The 12,000 households under the Jinyi Guard have taken people to Ganzhou to visit. However, the household registration of Ganzhou has long been unrecognizable due to the plague for many years, and there are even more rebellious people who have rebelled against the official yamen, and the household registration archive has been lost. Twelve thousand households returned to Hangzhou to repair, and when the plague subsided a little, they went to visit. ”

Que Haoyi swept away the fatigue of today's review, and there was a light of expectation in his eyes.

"If you find the child, identify him carefully. But don't hurt him in the slightest. ”

An Yongnian knew Ji Youling's status in the emperor's heart.

"Jinyi Guard's order will not dishonor the emperor's order!"

got the good news of An Yongnian, Que Haoyi never had insomnia again this night, he had a long dream.

He dreamed that he and Ji Yuzhi were standing on the city tower, looking at Hangzhou City with him, he was not aging at all, and he was still the same as when he left.

Ji Yuzhi asked him why he abandoned Jinling and moved the capital to Hangzhou, and Que Haoyi knocked on his head that had not been open for decades.

The emperor's heart knot is often thought by ordinary people to be complicated, pretending to be a major event of the family and country. In fact, the knot of the emperor's heart is often simple and straightforward.

Zhengde moved the capital, and the world thought it was to avoid the curse of the national teacher, but in fact, it was just because of a past of the two.

At that age, Yu Zhi had just come out of Chaoyunguan, and the two of them came to Hangzhou to avoid the eyes and ears of the people in the house.

After the snowfall, the white embankment of Hangzhou West Lake is long, and Ji Yuzhi and Que Haoyi discussed the complete "Lingfei Jing" on the white embankment. He also said on the white causeway, "Who can close the book, the white head spirit flies".

Ji Yuzhi always looks cold and does not eat the fireworks of the world, Que Haoyi took him to the West Lake flower boat. Those women were all coquettish and charming, Ji Yuzhi's face turned pale with fright, and he laughed on the side, mocking him for being a eunuch.

Que Haoyi thought that the national teacher would be a national teacher for the rest of his life, the national teacher who was so cold that he couldn't eat the fireworks of the world, the national teacher who took him to the great treasure and saw the prosperity of the world with him, and the national teacher who could never move the Tao and move the world.

So it's understandable to have some willfulness.

Like the woman of Que Haoyi, he thinks Ji Yuzhi is just curious. Killing a hundred infant alchemy pills in Gyeonggi is all tolerable. As for the Yellow River flooding, it didn't work to fix the fasting and Jiao, he didn't take it to heart at all.

But why run away? Why did you run away with your family? Yes, tired of the bones of the beggar on the red dust, he is not disallowed. Ben is a person in the painting, and it is useless to force it to stay.

But you can leave the spirit behind...... This is their son, why don't they even leave him a thought.

Twelve years ago, the past is gone, and the memories are gone. Que Haoyi's imperial career is only an infinite number of messes, and there are no more happy smiles.

When the emperor opened his eyes in the morning, he felt that his face was full of tears, and he wiped them away with his sleeve, and then looked at the wet pillow.

The dream was so beautiful that he didn't want to wake up. He and Ji Yuzhi met again, and walked through the White Causeway of West Lake as before, but the White Causeway in the dream did not snow, it was a verdant and lush summer day.

The two men walked from one end of the white causeway to the other, still talking about a scripture. Ji Yuzhi's eyebrows danced, just like the clever words when he first saw him.

The gaps between the trees shine through the daylight, and the flecks of light shine on his face. In addition to saying some obscure scriptures, Ji Yuzhi also told him: It's not good to have a woman.

He fed and clothed her, and built her a big house, and she had to bear him a child. He's a Taoist priest, what kind of child do you want? If you have it, you will be born, and if you don't, forget it.

As a result, women cry and make trouble every day. There's no way, just use the forbidden art, who knows if it's useful or not.

Yes, it was the hearts of a hundred children, and they were still beating when they were loaded into the alchemy furnace. In the end, only a handful of powder came out.

The woman drank the powder, and the two of them were happy, and after ten months a spirit was born. This is a debt collector who knows nothing, and he has to eat and drink all his life!

Que Haoyi sighed, he didn't know if Ji Yuzhi said this in the dream was his own imagination or true, whether Ji Yuzhi had learned a new spell and was still alive to transmit the sound to him into a dream.

But a search that started in Hangzhou and took Ganzhou as the main inspection site is quietly unfolding.

Jin Yiwei won the supreme favor given by the emperor of the current dynasty, so even if he digs clues from the dead corpse, he loves the stack in the plague area, even if he dies in another country, he must not dishonor the mission of Jin Yiwei.

Just to find a twenty-four-year-old man called "Spirit".
