Chapter Thirty-Six: Angering Long Yan

For several days, there was no news of Sui Yuanzhou, and it was not until this morning that Kou Shu received Sui Yuanzhou's second letter.

After reading the second letter sent by Sui Yuanzhou, Kou Shu couldn't help frowning, and asked the people around her: "Mandarin duck, where is the emperor now?" ”

The mandarin duck bent his knees slightly, and replied crisply: "Niangniang, the emperor just finished going to the morning court in the morning, and went down to the court, and at this time he was called to Ningci Palace by the queen mother." ”

In the letter, Sui Yuanzhou said that he had used iron-fisted power to carry out his own flood strategy, but he was obstructed in every possible way, with little effect, and even several officials threatened to write a joint letter to falsely accuse him of inaction.

Kou Shu vaguely remembers that among the counties and cities in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a county called Duguang County, and the county officials of this county are very mavericks, and they were once famous for helping the county build a road out of their own pockets. At this moment, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if Sui Yuanzhou can use the strength of that upright person to help him, I am afraid that he will be able to turn a big thing into a small one.

It's just that this matter still needs Song Jinyan to speak.

After listening to Kou Shu's words, Song Jinyan didn't seem to be touched much, and said lightly: "Since the queen mother has such an idea, then according to what you say, let the county officials of Duguang County fully cooperate with Sui is." After that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Kou Shu looked at Song Jinyan's distant back, and there was a trace of puzzlement in her eyes: This disaster relief is a big deal, why does Song Jinyan seem to be unconcerned?

Looking at Father-in-law Su again, Kou Shu's mind turned around, and she kept Father-in-law Su to inquire about it.

It turned out that Sui Yuanzhou submitted a quick letter today, and he actually participated in the Jiangnan Governor's Office, saying that the Jiangnan Governor, as an important assistant official in Jiangnan, is now allowing all the officials under him to collude, embezzle official money, and protect each other, resulting in the people's misery, and the generous statements between the words, which actually have the intention of forcing Song Jinyan to deal with the Jiangnan Governor soon.

Kou Shu shook her head, her uncle, was too anxious, and right now, she could only wait and see what happened.

When it was noon, Kou Shu had just finished lunch and was about to lie down to rest, but she heard ripples hurriedly running in: "Niangniang, Niangniang - no, it is said that someone in Jiangnan has the epidemic." ”

Kou Shuteng stood up, the epidemic was extremely infectious, especially children and women, nine times out of ten, they would die. Although he gave Uncle Shi a few Tiangui Pills in advance, the number was limited after all, and if the epidemic really spread, I am afraid the consequences would be unimaginable.

Kou Shu had developed the production method of Tiangui Pill a long time ago, but he gave up halfway. A few days ago, just in case, I just asked the mandarin duck to prepare herbs, and I plan to develop them again.

Thinking of this, Kou Shu immediately turned back to the back room, took out a few remaining Tiangui Pills, kept one for herself, and ordered the rest to be sent. He wrote another letter, in which he wrote that in addition to the epidemic, if there was any obstacle to flood control, he would go to Duguang County for help. As for the matter of the governor of Jiangnan, Kou Shu also did not press it.

After writing a letter, Kou Shu asked people to send it to Sui Yuanzhou quickly, and then turned around and went into the inner room, and instructed Ripple and Mandarin Duck: "You guys are guarding outside." Just say I'm resting, and no one is allowed to let it in. ”

The harm of the epidemic is extremely great, it is a disease of nine deaths and a lifetime, Kou Shu can only test the medicine by himself now, and use the fastest way to find the formula of the Tiangui pill, otherwise when the epidemic spreads, the consequences may be really unimaginable.

For three days and three nights, Kou Shu didn't close her eyes.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Kou Shu finally tried out the formula of the Tiangui Pill, ordered someone to write down the prescription carefully, and instructed Lianyi to find someone to send it out of the palace eight hundred miles as soon as possible.

Sui Yuanzhou here has long been in a hurry, Sui Yuanzhou was born in Qingchengmen, and he originally had the foundation of some doctors, but he couldn't stand the surging epidemic, and he was in a hurry for a while. Fortunately, Kou Shu sent a timely rain, the earliest epidemic discovered, has been controlled, as for the flood, there has been no precipitation in the past few days, because of their own implementation of the policy of benefiting the people of water control, the mood of the people is much better, and now they have gradually had a clue.

What he was most worried about was the ugly faces of the officials he had seen, and if these people were not removed, if such things happened again in the future, the problem would reappear.

The news that the flood and the epidemic had been suppressed reached Song Jinyan's ears, and Song Jinyan's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go.

After another half a month, all the people infected by the epidemic have recovered, and the flood in Jiangnan has been almost treated. Sui Yuanzhou can also go home. didn't wait for Sui Yuanzhou to return to his residence, and was directly announced into the palace.

Seeing Sui Yuanzhou, Song Jinyan looked at the campus: "Sui Aiqing, this incident is thanks to you." ”

Sui Yuanzhou arched his hand and said: "This matter is not all the credit of the minister, firstly, the county order of the local government has helped this matter greatly, and secondly, when the minister first discovered the epidemic, thanks to the Tiangui Pill developed by the queen's mother, the epidemic can be treated in time and more patients can be avoided." ”

Seeing Song Jinyan's face showing praise, Sui Yuanzhou took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, this time the micro-ministers went to Jiangnan and found that the officials in Jiangnan were all looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and officials at all levels protected each other, shielded each other, and begged the emperor to severely punish these black-hearted officials." ”

Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows: "You mean, I don't use people properly?" ”

Sui Yuanzhou's heart trembled, and he knelt down on his knees and said: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean this, but if these officials are not removed, it is my great disaster!" ”

With a wave of his sleeve, he overturned the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, Song Jinyan looked at Sui Yuanzhou coldly, and there was no praise in his eyes at all: "Sui Aiqing seems to be very dissatisfied with my decision?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichenβ€”"

"Bastard" Song Jinyan roared angrily: "Sui Yuanzhou, don't think that if you manage a flood well, there will be something terrible!" ”

Sui Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal, please be clear." ”

"You mean, I have wronged you without distinguishing between loyalty and treachery?"

Sui Yuanzhou's eyes lit up and said: "Your Majesty, as an official, you should always put the people first, if you are an official who only has your own career in your heart, you will ignore the feelings of the people, and even more, you will take the initiative to oppress the people." In the long run, those who serve as officials will inevitably turn away from the will of the people, and the people will also be disappointed with the officials of the DPRK and China. The embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Presumptuous-" Song Jinyan roared angrily: "Sui Yuanzhou, you are really bold!" ”

With a wave of his big hand, Song Jinyan said: "Come on, put Sui Yuanzhou in prison for me!" ”

Su Peiyuan watched from the sidelines, and secretly said to himself, this Jiangnan flood has been properly handled, and instead of rewarding this Lord Sui, the emperor imprisoned him, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, this Lord Sui never seemed to understand the truth of rigidity and fragility.
