Chapter 160: Lying about the disaster

Stygian Flame touched his nose and walked out of the shadows on the side quietly, "Subordinate Stygian Flame, I've seen Miss Yun." ”

Yun Wei raised her head and looked at him carefully, and nodded secretly, "Come in and talk about it." ”

The appearance of the Stygian Flame is extremely ordinary, the kind that can no longer be found if it is thrown in the pile. This kind of person is indeed suitable for doing those things that are crowing and dogs stealing behind their backs.

Yun Wei was very satisfied, and after the Stygian Flame entered the house, she told him about her plans one by one.

After listening to this, the Stygian Flame remained silent on the surface, but in his heart he was shocked to the extreme.

This Yunda girl is really the daughter of the Hou Mansion, not from the background of running the rivers and lakes?

How did he think that this Yun girl was more familiar with those methods on the rivers and lakes than he was?

"Miss Yun, rest assured, her subordinates will definitely live up to their trust." Stygian Flame retreated, and instead of leaving the gate, he climbed out of the window, and his figure soon disappeared into the night.

After the Stygian Flame left, Yun Wei sent a flying pigeon to the peach far away in the capital, and then he got familiar with it hastily, lay on the bed with a tired face, and soon fell asleep.

That night, there were more rumors inside and outside Lin'an City...... Some rumors about the Divine Doctor Yun Girl.

And those rumors spread inside and outside Lin'an City at a very fast speed, but in just an hour, they reached the cave in the mountain behind Xizi Mountain.

After the black-robed man got the news, his face immediately changed greatly, he didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately used a carrier pigeon to transmit the news to the capital. At the same time, the personnel of the Liu family distributed in Lin'an City also left in batches.

It's day, late at night, the capital, the palace.

The time has passed, and the lights in the imperial study are still bright, and Emperor Yun Zhou frowned and looked at the fold.

Recently, things have not gone well in the DPRK and China, and there have been problems in the six departments of the DPRK and China one after another, and none of the sons are worry-free, and there is a faint uneasiness on the border side, and there are often urgent reports coming back, and the disaster in Lin'an City is even more concerned about his heart.

There's a plague there...... What happens if the plague is not well controlled and spreads?

Ten rooms and nine emptiness, mourning and wilderness, the people are not living...... It is not impossible that the world will be in chaos and the dynasty will fall apart!

As the emperor, Emperor Yun Zhou naturally didn't want to see such a situation happen, so he sent his most capable son Zhou Yiting to Lin'an for disaster relief and gave him the greatest support.

In the past few days, manpower and disaster relief silver and other material resources have been flowing to all parts of the disaster, and seeing that the treasury is empty at a speed that makes his heart beat terrified, the old guy Liu Shangyuan of the household department is crying in front of him again......

It's hard to be an emperor.

Anxiety, depression, grievance, and hidden anger are the main moods of Emperor Yun Zhou today.

So much so that recently, he didn't even care about the harem......

The night breeze blew and the candle flame swayed, setting off the expression on Emperor Yun Zhou's face, becoming more and more obscure.

Gao Hai looked at the tired face of his master, stepped forward, and brought ginseng soup to his master: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's rest early." No matter what, it's also the dragon body that matters...... "He is the great eunuch who serves closely by Emperor Yunzhou's side, if something happens to Emperor Yunzhou, what will happen to them, the servants who serve him closely?" The Queen Mother was the first to spare him.

Before Gao Hai finished speaking, a sound of footsteps came.

Only then did Emperor Yun Zhou raise his eyes and glance at Gao Hai.

Gao Hai immediately retreated gently, and walked back briskly after a while.

"What?" Emperor Yun Zhou asked.

Gao Hai raised a just right smile on his face, and replied: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived thirty miles outside the city, and he will be able to return to the palace early tomorrow morning......

In Emperor Yun Zhou's eyes, there was really a little smile, and he put down the fold in his hand: "Okay, good." ”

Although Emperor Yun Zhou is not a loving father, Zhou Yiting was brought up by him since he was a child, and he is the only concubine born to him and Empress Yuan, which is naturally unusual.

Now, hearing that his son is about to return, he, as a father, is naturally happy.

What's more, he is clear about this son's ability, based on experience, Emperor Yun Zhou expected that his son would return at this time, and the situation in Lin'an City must be under control.

Emperor Yun Zhou's face showed a fatherly smile like a comforting old man.

When Gao Hai saw it, he silently sent the sealed wax pill in his hand to the master: "Your Majesty, the ...... just sent from the East Factory"

Crushed the wax pill with his own hands, Emperor Yun Zhou slowly opened it, but he only glanced at it, his hand trembled, and he stood up suddenly, the fatherly smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes became gloomy.

Seeing Emperor Yun Zhou's reaction like this, Gao Hai's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he shouted cautiously: "Your Majesty? ”

What's going on here?

Emperor Yun Zhou glanced at Gao Hai, squeezed the report in his hand, and said, "The crown prince was assassinated on the way back to Beijing. ”

Gao Hai was shocked: "Huh? He quickly covered his mouth.

Emperor Yun Zhou's face did show a strange look: "The urgent report said that the assassin came from Lin'an City......"

"How is this possible?" Gao Hai blurted out.

The prince went to Lin'an for disaster relief and appeased people's hearts, which is a great achievement, and the victims of Lin'an, who have benefited, how can they send someone to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince?

That doesn't make sense...... Unless it's ......?

Gao Hai quickly lowered his head.

Emperor Yun Zhou sneered, and his tone was heavy: "Yes, how is this possible!" But this kind of thing just happened. This is someone who can't see the prince making a great contribution and returning to Beijing smoothly, and wants to deduct another basin for him! ”

Why did the victims of Lin'an City assassinate the prince?

Naturally, because the prince was ineffective in disaster relief and was unpopular, people would assassinate him......

Gao Hai knew that there was a lot at stake, and his head hung a little lower.

It seems that the blood shed in the capital some time ago is not enough......

Early in the morning of the second day, the crown prince Zhou Yiting and his entourage returned to the capital.

On the Jinluan Palace, in the face of the crying poverty of the household bosses and the death of the imperial historians, Zhou Yiting did not say a word, did not defend himself, and did not say a word about the many assassinations he was on the way back to Beijing, but he sent two things in public.

This is his summary report on Lin'an City, which clearly writes the details of the disaster in Lin'an City, as well as the disaster relief process of the people in the DPRK and China, and also attaches the number of deaths.

Lin'an City and its surrounding villages and towns, with a population of hundreds of thousands, were all affected by the floods.

According to past experience, such a catastrophe coupled with the outbreak of epidemics after the disaster will kill a population of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people.

But this time, in the recital presented by Zhou Yiting, the death toll is only more than 20,000. Among the more than 20,000 people, the vast majority of them died in the floods, and less than 2,000 actually died in the epidemic.

What does this number say?

When Gao Hai's father-in-law, in front of many courtiers, recited the letter in a frustrated voice, there was a dead silence in the hall.

From ancient times to the present, the epidemic that has been uncontrollable has really been cured?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be joking, right? Or...... Is it because of greed, deliberately lying about the disaster and concealing the real death data?

Liu Laoshangshu from the household department was the first to question: "This is impossible. Liu Shangshu blurted out.

How could the plague be brought under control and only a few people died?

He didn't believe it! This must be a lie made up by the crown prince Zhou Yiting for the sake of greed and deliberately concealing the real death data!

This Liu Shangshu has reached the age of Zhishi, and the left waiter and the right waiter are both adjutants of the household, and they are both aiming at the position of the head of the household, and the competition between the two has lasted for a long time.

Liu Shangshu has been dragging his feet and refusing to give office, first, because he wants to plan another thing or two for his own grandson, King Qi; Second, he also wanted to support his henchman Zhao Yunzhao, the left waiter of the household department---- to take the position.

But on the contrary, the emperor seems to be a little dissatisfied with this Zhao Shilang, and has always refused to promote and reuse him.

It was because of this that Liu Shangshu did not dare to give office, and took advantage of the disaster in Lin'an City to get out the right attendant of the household, that is, the Gou lord...... Among them, there are also plans to take advantage of this disaster to keep that Master Gou in Lin'an forever.

After all, didn't there be a plague outbreak in Lin'an City? Isn't it normal for this plague to die a handful of people?

But on the contrary, Gou Shilang hugged the thigh of the crown prince Zhou Yiting this time, so that the dead soldiers he sent repeatedly did not succeed, and his obedient grandson King Qi was a bad person, and completely forgot all his instructions before leaving...... So much so that now it has made such a great contribution to that Gou Shilang.

Emperor Yun Zhou looked at Liu Shangshu, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but Liu Shangshu still saw a trace of dissatisfaction from the emperor's eyes, hurriedly bowed, cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, Fang is the old minister's disgrace in front of the palace." But the old minister really didn't question the prince's intentions. Just ......"

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and then looked at the minister of the full hall, and hesitated? "It's just that, as we all know, since ancient times, once an epidemic breaks out, there is no possibility of cure. Now, the old minister suddenly heard about this, and he was too shocked, so he lost his honor in front of the king, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive him. ”

This is clearly asking for guilt, secretly, isn't it just questioning Zhou Yiting's greed and lying about the disaster?

Liu Shangshu is a veteran of the two dynasties, since he said so, of course the ministers of the Qi Wang and his party will not lag behind, and immediately echo it.

Emperor Yun Zhou was very calm, and when these people finished attacking, he looked up at his son and said lightly: "Prince, what do you say?" ”

Zhou Yiting was also very calm, and said: "Back to my father's words, what is the disaster in Lin'an, the second brother King Qi also went to see it with his own eyes. In addition, now that the epidemic in Lin'an City has been controlled, my father can send someone to investigate. And the local official's report will also be sent to the capital in the near future. When the time comes, you will know whether it is true or false. ”

When it comes to King Qi, Liu Shangshu is not easy to speak.
