The next day, the eighth day of the third month, the court was still suspended.

Sure enough, as some people expected, as soon as he got on duty, Ye Mengding submitted a recital to the Political Affairs Hall, asking Ding Mu to worry, and also submitted an application to the Yushitai.

The Ding Wei system is a unique and long-standing system in China, simply put, that is, if the respected relatives of the court officials die, no matter what official or position the person holds, he must leave his post and be dismissed from the official system.

In the Great Song Dynasty, it was preached to rule the world with filial piety, "the crown is no greater than filial piety", filial piety has reached its peak at this time, and the imperial court usually encourages officials to worry about mourning.

However, if an official dares to hide his or her funeral for the sake of power and interests, once discovered, it will be a great crime, both legally and morally, and he will be punished extremely severely, and even end his political life.

Under normal circumstances, the scope of a person's worries is the loss of grandparents and parents, and most of them will only encounter it once in their political career.

However, Ye Mengding is a little special, he is a stepson and has two mothers, a biological mother and a grandmother.

Seven years ago, because of the death of his biological mother, he was worried once, and he was exempted from mourning and reinstated two years ago, but this time his mother passed away, and he had to keep the system for another three years, which is actually 27 months.

After receiving the application, Goshidai verified it with unprecedented efficiency, approved Ding's application, and submitted it to the government office, which immediately approved it and sent it to Ouchi along with the sonata.

Then, under the operation of Dong Songchen, the chapter soon reached the hands of Zhao Guan's family.

Zhao Guan's family may not have thought much about it, or it may have been influenced by some people, so they casually approved it, and gave it a special gift to continue with a monthly salary, sent someone to escort him back to his hometown, and gave him 200 yuan.

This is tantamount to a paid suspension, which is not a bad thing for Ye Mengding, but after Zhao Mengqi heard the news, he was a little confused.

In the DPRK, he only had two hardcore supporters, Yang Dong and Ye Mengding, but at this critical moment, he lost a general.

"Your sister's thief, play with me!" Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but scold.

"Oh, my ancestors, I don't dare to say that." Huang Gong couldn't wait to go up and cover his mouth.

Fortunately, the people in Qingyan Hall didn't dare to talk nonsense, and there were no others on the side.

Zhao Mengqi still had a black face and asked Huang Zhi, "Master Ye's situation, is there a way to win love?" ”

China's political system also has a practical and flexible side, some officials occupy important positions, or in a special period, the imperial court does not have to go to the post to mourn, wear plain clothes to continue to work in the court, it is said to be a seizure of affection, some officials have been worried about the resignation, but the time to keep the system is not full, but because of the urgent need of official business by the imperial court to recall, it is called reinstated.

Huang Zhi heard this question, and said with a wry smile, "Ah Lang, Ye Shilang is not a military general and a minister, and the second is not a commander, how can he win love?" What's more, the officials have already approved it, how can it be taken back. ”

Zhao Mengqi was speechless, pinched his forehead, had no choice but to accept it, and began to adjust the original plan.

In the afternoon, Zhao Mengqi's adjustment had not yet been envisaged clearly, and bad news came again.

Xiao Tailai, the right supplement, was charged with "appointing people for personal gain, abusing power, and ignoring the imperial court selection system", and wrote to impeach Yang Dong, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and then seven imperial historians were impeached one after another!

According to the system, the ministers who have been impeached by the imperial history must be absent from their positions pending inspection, that is, suspended pending verification, unless the official family specifically instructs, then the minimum is three or five days, and the most is more than a month, and the impeached officials have to leave their posts.

After the impeachment was sent to Ouchi, the official family did not approve it, nor did it issue an order to let Yang Dong stay in office, so he should have been retained, and the impeachment process took effect by default.

After Yang Dong received the news of impeachment, he kept a calm face, didn't say anything, put down the case file in his hand, and then left the ministry empty-handed, and went home to wait for inspection.

"Victory! Good sign! ”

In the Yushi Terrace, Ding Daquan also showed a smug smile on his face, "Cut its wings, cut off its branches and leaves, tie its hands and feet, and trap its will. ”

When Zhao Mengqi learned the news, he was not as shocked as in the morning, he just lowered his head silently and continued to write and draw on the paper.

Another day passed, on the ninth day of the third month.

According to the description of the family, the patient was fine the day before, but after a night, he could not wake up abnormally, whether it was pouring cold water or pinching people, he could not wake up after all kinds of attempts.

After Lang Zhong's consultation, he found that the patient's pulse was weaker than that of ordinary people, his breathing became shallow, and his skin was slowly losing its luster, but he couldn't find the cause at all!

Moreover, after trial treatment, acupuncture, massage, decoction and other formal methods, as well as various home remedies have not worked, and the patient is still asleep.

Then it was discovered that in just one morning, all the large and small medical centers and clinics were crowded, and the vast majority of them were this strange illness that suddenly appeared.

According to rough estimates, there are at least a thousand such patients in the entire Lin'an.

This time, the government was also alarmed, the medical bureau immediately organized a joint consultation of famous doctors from all parties, until the evening did not figure out a clue, some people said it was an epidemic, some people said it was evil, some people said it was poisoning, all kinds of speculation existed, but the cause was still inconclusive, and I didn't know where to start treatment, all Langzhong had no way to deal with this disease.

For a while, the whole Lin'an City began to panic, there were patients at home, worried about the patients, and those who didn't, worried about being infected.

In order to prevent civil unrest, Lin'an Prefecture, together with Renhe and Qiantang counties, sent officials to the streets to maintain order and comfort the people, but in this city with a population of more than one million, it was only a drop in the bucket and could not play a real role at all.

Just as Ma Guangzu, the prefect of Lin'an, was hesitating, should he ask the official family to send a forbidden army, news also came out in the palace, and the same disease also appeared in the inner palace, where Yan Guifei was located, in the Ciyuan Palace, there were more than a dozen palace maids who had been asleep, and the imperial doctor was helpless!
