Chapter 578: An Excuse to Kill Two Birds with One Stone

readx;

The eunuch didn't dare to offend Zhang Zi, and wanted to get the silver. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He had to think of a foolproof plan, that is, not to let the emperor blame him, and to let Zhang Zi receive the holy decree at the end of the day.

The eunuch swallowed his saliva, cleared his throat and said, "Xuanwu County Guard, the trip cannot be delayed. The emperor ordered the miscellaneous family to dare not delay when the time came. ”

When the Xuanwu County Guard heard the eunuch's words, his face turned green. I'm so angry in my heart, how can I be such an inflexible guy.

The eunuch coughed lightly, glanced at Zhang Zi, who was still kneeling in front of him, and said, "Xuanwu County Shou, you said that Gongzi Zhang Zi went to inspect the disaster, when will he be able to come back? ”

Hearing the eunuch's words, the Xuanwu County Guard was happy. I feel that the eunuch is too smart, and if he does this, he will not be responsible, and Zhang Zi will not be responsible.

"Haha. Xuanwu County Shou laughed a few times and said, "Father-in-law, I will immediately send someone to invite Zhang Zi back." However, the place he went to was too far away, and it would take two days to go back and forth. ”

"It's been so long, can you hurry up?" the eunuch seemed to be in a hurry.

The Xuanwu County Guard hurriedly helped to make excuses: "Where Zhang Gongzi went, the mountains were high and the roads were dangerous, and this was still the fastest speed in two days." ”

"Gee, there's no way around it. The eunuch followed the sun given by Xuanwu County and walked down slowly: "The miscellaneous family can only wait." ”

"Come, I'll take you to the inn to rest. The Xuanwu County Guard affectionately took the eunuch's hand, and the five hundred taels of silver tickets had been handed to the eunuch's hand.

The eunuch whispered, "My lord, the mouths of the brothers brought by the miscellaneous family must also be gagged." ”

The Xuanwu county guard shouted at that time: "Come on, reward each person with twenty taels of silver." ”

Seeing the guards go about to do it, the eunuch said happily, "Thank you, sir, for the brothers." ”

Seeing that the eunuch was going out, Honghuomiao said to the Xuanwu County Shou: "Lord County Shou, now that the epidemic is serious, the post house must be strictly protected, don't let the messenger go out and walk around, to avoid contracting the epidemic." ”

When the eunuch heard Honghuomiao's words, he was very disgusted, isn't this going to put us under house arrest? However, Honghuomiao's words were not wrong, so that the eunuch could not refute them.

The eunuch thought again. For the sake of money, in order not to offend Zhang Gongzi, in order not to be infected with the plague, just endure it for two days.

He came to the Xuanwu County Guard with a knife and said, "My lord, send my five younger brothers to protect Shangcha." ”

Xuanwu County Shou understood the words of the red flames, and was afraid of revealing the rumors, and now he took the initiative to take on this task, and he was very happy. He was afraid that his subordinates would not be able to control these messengers sent by the imperial court, so he would be cut off with a knife, and what happened had nothing to do with him.

Xuanwu County Shou pretended to be pity and said: "You haven't rested all the way, and you have to protect the poor, it's really dedicated." Go ahead, and when it's over, Lord Ben will be rewarded. ”

After the eunuch left, Honghuomiao praised Xuanwu County Shoudao: "My lord, you are so powerful, you can save Zhang Gongzi from the trouble of resisting the decree." ”

Xuanwu County Shou said with a wry smile: "People who often receive the imperial court are used to it. ”

Zhang Zi was anxious, and couldn't wait to ask Honghuomiao: "Senior Sister Hong, what method do you use to extinguish the epidemic in two days?"

The red flame was no longer smiling, and said with a holy face: "Immortal Lotus Fei rain is in the mortal dust, quickly extinguish the plague and save the people." ”

It sounds very lofty, but he doesn't know the content, Zhang Zi is still not at ease: "Senior Sister Hong, can you explain it specifically?"

Red Flame said solemnly, "No." Then he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhang Zi: "Please read it, son-in-law Zhang Zi, you can do it directly, and if you need to be guarded by the counties, you can make an order." ”

Zhang Zi carefully looked at the piece of paper handed over by Honghuomiao, all the things written on it were required of the government and the dust people, and all the preparations must be completed by noon tomorrow.

1. Zhang Zi wrote a number of imperial seals in the name of the emperor. The so-called imperial seal, Zhang Zi understands, is a seal in the name of the emperor.

After reading this, Zhang Zizhen didn't know what Honghuomiao wanted the emperor to do? But Honghuomiao didn't explain it, and it was useless to ask, so he had to read the following.

2. The government ordered the dust people in the epidemic area to open their windows and doors at noon, and the dust people were all outside, and no matter what happened, they were not allowed to return to the house.

What is this for? Is it related to Lianwu? Forget it, don't guess, just do what she says.

3. Each village and town should set up a tent in the square and concentrate the existing patients in the tent. Put a large closed vat in the middle of the square, open the mouth of the vat at noon, and affix the imperial seal.

It turns out that the imperial seal is used here, what is the importance of a water tank, and the imperial seal must be pasted, I really can't figure it out.

Fourth, the officials of each yamen patrol the villages, and some of them guard the square, and no one is allowed to approach the vats of the emperor except for the doctors who are sent. The other part inspected the village and asked the dust people to follow Article 2.

Zhang Zi understood this, where the emperor was sealed, there must be soldiers to defend it, this is the rule.

The page concludes with the words: The whole operation began at noon and did not end at noon.

Zhang Zi knew that he was now tied to Honghuomiao's chariot, although he didn't know what Honghuomiao was doing, he could only listen to her, so he ordered: "The four counties and counties will listen to the holy decree." ”

Xuanwu County Guard, Qinglong County Guard, Chou County Guard, and Yin County Guard hurriedly knelt down: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

This is an official visit, and now it is not Zhang Zi who is standing in front of the four county guards, but the supreme emperor.

Zhang Zi first read out the holy decree given to him by the emperor when he left Beijing: "There was an epidemic in the four counties in Northeast China, and the son Zhang Zi was appointed as the Qincha, and he was fully responsible for disaster relief on behalf of me. All counties and departments must absolutely obey the promotion of Gongzi Zhang Zi, and those who disobey the order can be cut first and then played. ”

Here Zhang Zi changed the holy decree, which was originally two counties in the northeast and changed to four counties. This is not Zhang Zi's intention, and it depends on the changes in the epidemic.

The four county guards replied together, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Zhang Zi offered the holy decree and continued: "Now I announce the specific methods for extinguishing the plague. ”

The four county guards said respectfully: "Please give instructions to Gongzi Zhang Zi." ”

Zhang Zi repeated the requirements put forward by Honghuomiao, and finally emphasized: "Whoever does not do things well and causes the epidemic to get out of control, I will behead him first, and then apologize to the emperor." ”

"Yes. The four county guards replied simply.

Zhang Zi asked again: "I don't know what difficulties the four county guards have?"

This time Zhang Zi is the shadow of the emperor, and the county guards can say what he said, either as the emperor or by himself.

The county guards can discuss ways with Zhang Zi, and they can also bargain, and they will definitely have to bargain with Zhang Zi.

Zhang Zi is here to provide disaster relief, but also to solve problems. knows that the county guards are not short of money, but they will never let go of the opportunity to reach out.

The Xuanwu county guard is the landlord, and it is natural to negotiate the conditions on behalf of the three county guards: "If you return to the son Zhang Zi, the disaster relief is nothing more than silver taels, manpower, and you must have a plan for these." I just feel that the time is a little too tight, I can say something, it takes a long time for the three brothers to go back and forth. Let's see if you can relax a little more in terms of time. ”

"This time. Zhang Zi also felt that the time was a little tight, he hesitated and did not give an answer, but looked at the red flames, meaning whether it could be delayed a little.

Honghuomiao changed the appearance of a hippie smile, and said very seriously: "Childe Zhang Zi, the key to eliminating the epidemic this time is time. Whether you can win this big gamble mainly depends on whether the four county guards can complete the things you just explained within the specified time. Anything else, only you say. ”

Zhang Zi understood what Honghuo asked him to say, it was nothing more than that he had to ensure that all preparations were completed within the specified time, and violators would be beheaded.

Zhang Zi thought for a while and said: "The disaster relief money brought to you by the emperor was burned and deformed by the bandits, so you can divide it amicably according to the plan I formulated." ”

The four county guards were very happy, the disaster relief gold and silver were deformed, and they had to be recast, but they had the final say, and no one would raise any doubts about the loss of twenty percent.

Zhang Zi continued: "There is not enough manpower, and the situation is special, so you are allowed to use soldiers to assist the officials in maintaining law and order. However, the soldiers must be strictly restrained, and they are not allowed to oppress the people. ”

"Yes. With Zhang Zi's instructions, the county guard dared to use the army of the county guard justifiably. Otherwise, it is a private mobilization of the army and will be investigated.

Zhang Zi finally ordered: "Four county guards, you are all my uncles. Today, the little nephew is fighting for his life, which means that the life and death of the little nephew are all in your hands. If you feel sorry for your little nephew and don't want to see your little nephew have an accident, your uncles will promise to complete all preparations within the specified time, otherwise you will delay. ”

Zhang Zi's words are hidden needles. The four county guards thought to themselves: "This is more powerful than the emperor pressing us." He said it nicely, but if we delayed it, he would have to kill us first. ”

Xuanwu Junshou said sadly: "Little nephew Zhang Zi, I will make a statement on behalf of your three uncles. We're in the same boat now. If you honor us, we will borrow light, and if you lose us, we will not be better. Even if we are tired and vomit blood, we must also make all preparations within the specified time. ”

For Zhang Zi's words, Hong Huomiao really admired, which was much better than her use of strong effects.

Zhang Zizhen kneeled, and even knelt down for the four county guards: "The little nephew has kowtowed to you." ”

The four county guards hurriedly helped Zhang Zi up and comforted him together: "Zhang Gongzi, don't worry, we will go all out." ”

Qinglong County guarded his temper: "Zhang Zi, I have to leave quickly." Time is too tight. ”

Honghuo suddenly stood up and said, "Four county guards, please wait. I have something to say. ”

The four county guards are so troubled in their hearts, and the trouble is caused by this little girl. She babbled to come up with this plan, and it was impossible to say whether it would work or not, but Zhang Zi listened to her so much, there was really no way.

Zhang Zi asked Hong Huomiao puzzled: "Senior Sister Hong, are you still in trouble?"

Red Flame replied: "If the four county guards return to each county first and then arrange the task, they will definitely not be able to complete the task within the specified time." ”

Zhang Zizhen didn't know what Honghuomiao's plan was, so he asked politely, "What good way do you have?"
