After hearing this, Jin Chun's face changed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Anshi very unceremoniously.

At this time, I heard Zhang Anshi say to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, among these rumors, the reason why the minister judged that it was from Ning Guofu was because of ......"

He paused, and said with a relaxed look: "Because rumors are gradual. ”

"Gradient?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Anshi thoughtfully, as if he was also waiting for Zhang Anshi's next words.

saw Zhang Anshi continue: "It's like, if a person sends out a message and reaches the ears of the second person, it will start to be added to the ears of the third person and the fourth person, and it will gradually be outrageous." ”

"So to find the source of the news, it's actually very simple, that is, which rumor, the closer it is to the truth, then nine times out of ten, this may be the source of the news."

Zhu Di probably understood: "Zhang Qing continued. ”

So Zhang Anshi continued: "Here, it is the news that Dongchang is collecting wind from all over the world, and rumors have begun to spread everywhere in the capital, thousands of people have died, and it is even said that a large number of people have died in Beijing, obviously, these news are very outrageous. ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "This proves that the source of this news is definitely not from the inner city. ”

Zhu Di nodded again, and he felt more and more that Zhang Anshi's thinking logic seemed to be different from most people.

It's called professionalism!

In fact, through many things, the analysis and judgment of data and information is now almost one of the important courses of government schools.

Zhang Anshi continued: "The news is not from the city, which makes the minister very suspicious. Because those who spread the news are among the ministers, and all the princes here are in high positions, and it stands to reason that if they send out the news, then the source of the news must be in the city. After all...... Nanzhili is very large, and it is difficult for them to have any contact with people outside of Ying Tianfu. Therefore, the minister paid special attention to the public opinion of the Taiping River and Ning Guofu. ”

Zhu Di said, "What do you mean...... Taiping Mansion is because there is a Qing family, and Ning Guofu is because there is a Qing family? ”

Zhang Anshi said with a firm face: "Yes, the minister said politely, the other prefects and officials of Nanzhili, if they want to make friends with the people in this palace today, they are not qualified at all, and those who can have contact with the princes of the court, in addition to the minister's Taiping Mansion, is the Ning Guo Mansion." ”

Because of this, the minister paid special attention to the public opinion of Qi Xia and Ning Guofu. Most of the rumors on Qi Xia's side are that thousands of people have been killed and injured in the inner city, and they even say that they ...... The city is full of dead rats, Your Majesty...... This is obvious, Qi Xia's message is even more outrageous, what they received must be second-hand news from the capital, if it is from Qi Xia, then how did this spread such a sensational news spread to the capital, but the number of dead people has decreased? ”

"We all know that the biggest feature of rumors is that after a person's word of mouth, the numbers will continue to swell, just like His Majesty said to the minister that he had a good appetite today and ate half a catty of meat, so from the minister's mouth to the second mouth, saying that His Majesty has a good appetite, and the meat he eats will never be less than half a catty, the fundamental reason is that the rumors that people talk about are that the more sensational and exaggerated, the more disseminated."

Yang Rong and others, at first, when they heard Zhang Anshi's words about Ning Guofu, seemed to have decided that Zhang Anshi most likely wanted to take revenge for personal gain.

After all, Zhang Anshi and Jian Gong are not very good now.

But now, when I heard Zhang Anshi say this, I have to admire...... Zhang Anshi is at least logically defensible.

With their wisdom, it is natural to make sense at one point.

Jin Chun's face changed slightly, but he had to suppress his anger.

Zhu Di asked at this time: "Then why Ning Guofu?" ”

"Because of these many news, the news of Ning Guofu is the most accurate, and among the rumors collected by the Middle East Factory, most of them are more than 30 people who have died in Beijing, although this is also exaggerated, since the source of the news has been polluted, and people have spread it by word of mouth, and those news that are not shocking enough have long been covered up by more exaggerated rumors. But...... Comparing their news samples with the capital and Qixia, the ministers dared to take their heads as a guarantee, and this news must have come from Ning Guofu. ”

Zhang Anshi immediately continued with righteous words: "And in view of the fact that Ning Guofu is also some distance from the capital, news can be transmitted from Ning Guofu as quickly as possible, this Ning Guofu ...... Up and down, except for the princes, the ministers couldn't think of anyone who could make friends with the ministers in this palace, and even work among the princes, some people worked hard and released the news in person. ”

Zhu Di furrowed his brows and said, "Jianyi? ”

Zhu Di's face became more and more unsightly, and his face turned cold.

Yang Rong and the others were silent, to be honest, they didn't dare to say that what Zhang Anshi said must be the truth, but at least ...... This should be the closest logic to the truth.

Seeing that His Majesty was furious, Jin Chun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this is just ...... It's just an inference, and there is no real evidence......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Anything, as long as it is done, there will definitely be traces, since there is already an inference, if you want to find evidence, it has become easy, in fact, it is very simple to investigate thoroughly, that is, if someone really sends news to Jian Gong, then the one who leaks the news must not be Jian Gong himself, it must be the people around him, around this clue, the person who is responsible for his clerical and correspondence processing will know it." ”

"Moreover, if there is a letter that comes out, and the news is so fast, it must be a swift horse, and it will not stop...... Just check the condition of the horses in each mansion. And whoever preaches the faith will also be a confidant...... Some of these people left Beijing last night, and it is clear at a glance. There are many ways to check, and it is just a breeze to follow the vine. ”

Zhu Di glanced at all the people here with a frosty face, and then looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "In this way, who do you think is the most likely?" ”

Zhang Anshi looked around and smiled: "Your Majesty, Gong Jian is very popular in the court, I think everyone here has a close relationship with him, but the minister is thinking...... It's not enough to have a lot of relationships, because there are many kinds of relationships, some are pure friendships, and some are different. For example, this time, the news of such an important military aircraft event did not come from the capital, but it was transmitted to Ning Guofu for the first time, which shows that some people think that it is very important to let Jian Gong get the news as soon as possible. ”

"The plague is such a terrible thing, instead of secretly notifying the family first, but notifying the father-in-law, it is not an ordinary relationship. The minister dared to assert that the person who conveyed the news should not be in Wenyuan Pavilion. ”

"How so?"

"In the Wenyuan Pavilion, although there are people who are close to Jian Gong, after all, they are collaborators, and they have not yet reached the point where they are both prosperous and one is lost."

Zhu Di bowed his head in deep disapproval, and his eyes fell on the bodies of several Shangshu.

Zhang Anshi smiled slightly: "Next, we can exclude Jin Zhong Jin Butang, Jin Butang...... Ahem......"

Jin Zhongtie blushed and said, "Can you finish the words?" Don't cough, it makes the old man feel like he has some hidden disease. ”

Zhang Anshi's face was embarrassed for a moment, and then he said, "This ...... Jin Butang, I mean, Jin Butang is His Majesty's former minister in Beiping, and he has always only known His Majesty, but he doesn't know anything else, so he ......"

Jin Zhong said: "Then you can just say no." ”

Zhang Anshi continued: "Secondly, Xia Gong can be excluded. ”

Xia Yuanji watched the drug circle getting smaller and smaller, although he felt that he was above board, but he was also afraid that he would be suspicious, and now he was silently relieved when he heard that Zhang Anshi had ruled himself out.

Zhu Di asked again: "How can you see it?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, the Duke of Xia entered the ban in the system, and when he arrived at Jianwen, he was already the right servant of the household department, and when His Majesty ascended the throne, he was promoted to the head of the household department. Your Majesty, Xia Gong is not an exceptional promotion, he can have today, relying on his own qualifications, although he has a good relationship with Jian Gong, but there is really no need to quickly pass on such a major military event to Jian Gong. ”

Zhu Di's gaze became heavier and heavier, and said, "Then ......"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Jin Chun.

Jin Chun's face changed.

Jin Chun immediately said: "Wronged." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Jin Gong, if my memory is not wrong, you first worked as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Officials' Literature and Selection, and then went to Jiangxi to participate in politics as a political envoy...... When His Majesty ascended the throne and Gong Jian strongly recommended you, you were exceptionally promoted from Jiangxi to the court and became the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

It can be said that Jin Chun's promotion is extremely abnormal, he first became an ordinary official in the Ministry of Officials, and he should have befriended Jian Yi from that time, which was considered an old official in ancient times.

After that, he went to Jiangxi to participate in politics on the right, and this right-hand participation in politics is actually the right hand of the political envoy, and he is also a magistrate, but his status is not prominent.

And it was precisely during his right political participation that the imperial court at that time was controlled by several favored ministers of Emperor Jianwen, and even Jian Yi had stepped aside.

But when Zhu Di ascended the throne and the tide of righteousness rose, Jin Chun immediately soared.

You must know that it is already more difficult to enter the court from a magistrate, and after entering the court, he was quickly promoted to the high position of the secretary of the criminal department, which is definitely an eye-opener.

Without the strong recommendation of the righteous people, this is almost impossible.

Zhu Di also seemed to understand something.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

There are some relationships that are like this, if something happens to Jianyi, the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion naturally don't have much to do with it, and whoever is the secretary of the ministry is the same.

And Xia Yuanji doesn't matter, Xia Yuanji has deep qualifications, and he is also a protégé and old officials all over the world, in a sense, the emperor needs him to be the head of the household in order to better deal with many problems in the imperial court.

As for Jin Zhong, needless to say, the emperor is here, he is there, as Zhu Di's humerus, whoever is the secretary of the ministry has nothing to do with him.

But Jin Chun is different, this former official of the Ministry of Justice, Jiangxi's participation in politics, although he is a scholar of the Criminal Department, in fact, he has no foundation.

Whether it is qualifications, or other aspects, compared with other Shangshu, it is far inferior, and even the emperor's impression of him is not very profound, all he can rely on is Jianyi, Jianyi's protégé is his protégé and former official, and Jianyi's support is his greatest guarantee.

Zhu Di suddenly said angrily: "It seems that we have to investigate thoroughly, right?" Do you want me to immediately order someone to go to your house and check the details? ”

Jin Chun listened, and his face was like ashes. As Zhang Anshi said, as long as you follow the vine and touch the melon, there is nothing that cannot be found, and there is no argument at that time...... Then it can be regarded as not seeing the coffin and not shedding tears.

He hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed, and said sadly: "Your ...... Minister...... Just a piece of cloth, loved by His Majesty, to be given such a high position, the minister ...... There is a sin of ten thousand deaths, yesterday ...... The minister did pass the book to the prince, not because the minister was selfish, but because he ...... I feel that this matter is big, and Jian Gong is a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, so he should know about it. Minister...... Minister......"

This Jin Chun's face became more and more miserable, but he kept kowtowing, saying that he would die.

Zhu Di's expression changed greatly, he gritted his teeth, stared at Jin Chun deadly, revealing a hideous look: "I have repeatedly instructed you, but you still dare to take risks, your intentions are so sinister, and you should be punished for your crimes." ”

Jin Chun had no choice but to continue to kowtow: "Yes, the minister is guilty of ten thousand deaths." ”

Zhu Di said: "You passed the book to Jianyi, but Jianyi sent the news out ......"

"No......" Jin Chun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Gong Jian ...... Jian Gong is a gentleman, he has always been cautious and careful, if there is news, this must not be what Jian Gong did...... Maybe it's because the minister is not acting well, so this is ...... This led to the leakage of the news in the middle of the way, and it was all the minister's fault, the minister's ...... The sin deserves death, and the mistakes are all in the body of the minister, and now the minister lives in the temple......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help choking up: "No wonder this is ...... Gong"

Zhu Di glared at Jin Chun viciously.

At this time, Jin Chun still wanted to protect his righteousness.

Everyone looked at Jin Chun and couldn't help sighing.

The relationship between Jianyi and Jin Chun is indeed far beyond the friendship of ordinary people, when Jianyi was excluded by Jianwen, Jin Chun, as Jianyi's confidant, was directly sent to Jiangxi to participate in politics on the right. And once Jianyi stood on the temple again, he used almost all means to ensure that Jin Chun entered the court.

This kind of relationship is really not comparable to ordinary people.

Zhu Di said with a cold face: "How to deal with the leakage of military aircraft?" ”

Zhu Di continued: "What's more, this person is still a scholar of the Criminal Department, which can be said to be a violation of the law, and the crime will be added to the crime. ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi at this time.

Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "Actually...... The minister also wanted to plead guilty. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Di was stunned.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister actually knew for a long time that the news would leak out. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this?" ”

"The minister is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, in fact, ...... When I came to see Your Majesty yesterday, I saw all the dukes, and I knew that between Jin Chun and Jianyi, there would be no concealment, this news ......... It will be preached to the whole world. ”

Zhu Di was stunned again: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister actually thinks ...... If you want to hide this news, you can't hide it, so it's better to ...... than the court to cover it Really came out of something. ”

Zhu Di said: "But now people's hearts are fluctuating, do you know...... What will be the consequences of people's hearts fluctuating? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Naturally, I know, but it's just ...... Your Majesty, but once the plague begins to break out among the people, sooner or later the hearts of the people will still fluctuate, and it is better to ...... Waiting for the news from Fujian, everyone's attention will be shifted to the Fujian plague, and everyone will see if there is any way to alleviate it. ”

"Although the situation is difficult now, as long as the military and civilians in Nanzhili are given hope to live, the people's hearts will naturally be stable."

Zhu Di pursed his lips and slowed down, but said, "Over there in Jianning Mansion, did you send someone?" ”

Zhang Anshi said truthfully: "It's already gone, hurry up, day and night." ”

Zhu Di's face finally softened a little: "How many sures." ”

He is still counting on Zhang Anshi to really have a way!

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister only dares to say that he will do his best." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help sighing, and then said, "Then what to do with this Jin Chun?" ”

"Dismissal, wait for investigation and punishment." Zhang Anshi suggested: "At this time, there is no need to make extraneous branches, the relationship between the minister and the prince is not harmonious, but when the country is in danger, the minister also knows that the prince is known to be respected and has always been relied on by the military and the people of the world." ”

"If there is any chaos in the court at this time, it will arouse the suspicion of the people of the world, even if it is to be dealt with, it is to let them make meritorious contributions, and they will discuss it later."

After listening to Zhang Anshi's words, Yang Rong couldn't help but glance sideways at Zhang Anshi.

He originally thought that Zhang Anshi would take the opportunity to fall into the well at this time, but who would have thought that at this time, Zhang Anshi would turn to Jian Yi and Jin Chun to speak.

Even Jin Chun listened to Zhang Anshi's words, and he was ashamed of himself, bowing his head slightly, just eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Jin Zhong was also thoughtful, and he was also surprised.

Zhu Di let out a long breath before he said faintly: "That's it......"

He looked a little uneasy, but now he knew that everything was better to deal with the impending plague first.

Zhu Di was obviously in a bad mood today, so he said, "Stand down." ”

Everyone silently retired.

Zhang Anshi was very busy, so he was in a hurry.

After walking not far, Jin Chun quickly caught up: "Wei Guogong ......"

Zhang Anshi stopped and only looked back at him.

Jin Chun only made a long gesture at him, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything, and then walked away quickly.

Zhang Anshi: "......"

"You kid, it seems that you have grown up, and I said that you will repay you!"

Seeing Jin Chun's back, Jin Zhong came slowly, and couldn't help but smile, looking pleased: "When I first saw you, I looked like Monk Yao, but later I found out more and more that this is not just like Monk Yao, it is simply Monk Yao's long-separated grandson." ”

"Who are you scolding?" Zhang Anshi was furious, and directly opened his eyes wide and glared at Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong pressed his hand: "Don't worry, listen to the old man, but just when the old man thought that you were the second Monk Yao, now he found that it was different again." One thing better about you than him is that your heart is not so small. ”

Zhang Anshi said very realistically: "It's not that I'm small-minded, but I want to do something that no one has done before, at this time, I must protect Jian Gong and never let him have an accident in other places, because ...... I'm going to beat him with dignity! I defeated him, not to defeat him, but to tell the world that the original way of doing so would not work. ”

The admiration in Jin Zhong's eyes became even stronger, and he smiled: "Good ambition!" ”

"It's not ambition." Zhang Anshi said: "This is a clear plan, put it on the table to fight, and teach everyone not to pick out the thorns." ”

Jin Zhong sighed: "Monk Yao is different, he likes to make yin the most." ”

Zhang Anshi said, "I want to tell him these words." ”

Jin Zhong: "......"

"Okay, joke, just kidding."

Jin Zhong immediately said worriedly: "You say......... Can the plague really be cured? ”

Zhang Anshi said truthfully: "It's difficult, it's difficult. ”

Jin Zhong showed a look of disappointment: "But you sent someone to Jianning Mansion." ”

"I just wanted to give it a try." Zhang Anshi looked at Jin Zhong seriously and said, "No matter what, a dead horse must be a live horse doctor." ”

Jin Zhong showed a dark expression: "Once it spreads, there is no way to prevent it, and it will really suffer." But I don't know...... How many soldiers and civilians will die. This is a catastrophe for the world. ”

Zhang Anshi's heart also sank, the plague in Europe at this time, but it caused the death of tens of millions of people...... If it is placed in Daming......

But Zhang Anshi cheered up: "No matter what......"

"What?"

Zhang Anshi said a very middle sentence: "If there is a little possibility, you must also try." Okay, Jin Gong, I still have something to do...... Leave. ”

Jin Zhong showed a complicated expression, and his worried mood was difficult to dissipate.

This kind of sad mood is actually more than a Jin Zhong.

…………

Jianning House.

It's been more than half a month since I've been here.

Of the several villages and towns that Chen Daowen saw along the way, there were actually a few of them, and there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms.

If these things were just put in the newspaper, they might just be numbers, but when you really see them with your own eyes, you will know how serious the plague has become.

At that moment, according to Zhang Anshi's instructions, he hurried to the Jianning Mansion.

But the prefect is already seriously ill and should not live long.

Now he is the same governor, but this same acquaintance looks lifeless.

The only advantage for them is that they are rogue officials, and even if they really contract the plague, they will only die alone, and their families are at least thousands of miles away.

However, for Jin Yiwei, this is still a cooperation.

Under Chen Daowen's instructions, they opened up an area in a certain square in Fucheng.

In this area, everyone distributed medicines, and at the same time...... The cart was taken out and began to be distributed.

This workshop is directly surrounded by Jinyi Guard, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

This was followed by a record of people infected with the plague and the promotion of the use of the plague.

More than half a month has passed.

Piece by piece of data began to appear.

The face was like a dead ash, and gradually, his face began to appear slightly ruddy.

To be precise, there was a light in his eyes.

Then, he became more and more energetic.

Until the tenth day of March.

He excitedly found Chen Daowen.

"New numbers...... Registered again, very effective, very effective, Chen Qianhu...... Chen Qianhu ......"

Tongzhi rushed up, as if he was a hungry ghost in the color, and directly kissed Chen Qianhu's face.

Into your mother.

Chen Qianhu was insulted by this, and he was furious, pressing the hilt of the knife on his waist, and glaring at this Tongzhi.

Tongzhi didn't care: "Do you guess how many people have been infected with the plague in this workshop in the past few days?" Three-person ...... There are only three people...... For more than half a month, the surrounding people were infected with plague ten times and a hundred times more than here...... There were only three ......"

Tongzhi suddenly cried, wiped his tears and said: "There are countless living people, countless living people, the people are saved." ”
