"I just received the news that there was an epidemic in Lingnan, and now sixty or seventy thousand people have died, do you have anything to say?" Zhao Qingrui looked at everyone coldly.

Such an important matter was still hidden, and it was not reported until it could not be concealed.

Okay, it seems that she is too kind to them, and one by one they think she is young and foolish, right?

Zhao Qingrui's questioning, the people below were like sticky tape on their mouths, and none of them dared to say anything.

"Hehe, no one knows about this, right, very good, if I let the Yushitai find out something, then don't blame me for being ruthless, if anyone commits a crime, they will mine for me for the rest of their lives." Zhao Qingrui had a cold face.

Zhao Qingrui's words, the officials below were still silent.

There are very few people who know about this matter, and it is impossible for everyone to know about it, otherwise the epidemic in Lingnan will definitely not be able to hide it.

"Your Majesty, this matter has a bad impact and must not be tolerated, it is the lives of tens of thousands of Qianshou." Chun Yuyue stood up, now he is no longer the original him, and now he has entered Taichang Temple, where he manages the sacrificial rites and music.

Now that Fusu Gongzi is not fighting, even if he wants to fight, it is useless, it is better to work hard and save more things for his children and grandchildren.

At this time, he would stand up, angry in his heart, the current Daqin is so good, there are still people who are sabotage, it is simply looking for death.

He accepts Zhao Qingrui now, seeing that the current Daqin has become so good, this is something that Fusu Gongzi can't do, and he doesn't want people to ruin this beauty.

Seeing Chun Yuyue jump out, Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't expect him to jump out, which was a little unexpected.

"Qing is right, I will punish him severely." Zhao Qingrui glanced at Chun Yuyue with satisfaction.

Sure enough, with her movements, those individuals in the court immediately began to verbally crusade against the officials who did not report it.

As for how many of them are fishing in troubled waters, Zhao Qingrui doesn't care, sooner or later he will find out all these people, and it just so happens that there is still a lot of manpower needed on the mining side.

Zhao Qingrui made some arrangements to arrange the disaster relief properly.

This year's official assessment has not been affected by the epidemic in Lingnan, and is still carried out unswervingly, mainly because the DPRK and China are too short of manpower.

With various orders, the medicinal materials related to the treatment of the epidemic in Daqin were quickly transported towards Lingnan.

Among them, there are also those who want to make a fortune, Zhao Qingrui directly ordered the arrest of people, if the evidence is conclusive, directly send them to Dali Temple and lock them up first, and when the epidemic is almost done, all the prisoners will be sent to Yingzhou Island together.

There are so many mines over there, and there are still too few prisoners and prisoners of war sent over there every year, and they are completely insufficient.

Zhao Qingrui's various actions are showing that she can't tolerate people who know the law and break the law and treat human life like a mustard.

After catching some people who wanted to make a fortune, the medicinal materials market calmed down a lot all of a sudden, and the high prices of medicinal materials slowly dropped back to their original prices.

There are also some rhythmic ones, saying that the epidemic is God's punishment for the king, and that His Majesty is not virtuous.

These people Zhao Qingrui were arrested together, and it happened that Yingzhou Island was very short of people.

Constantly arresting people, the current Dali Temple cells are almost full, these are the people who make trouble during this time.

The ups and downs outside still have some impact on those who are preparing to participate in the official assessment in Xianyang.

His Majesty's attitude is as tough as ever, but they all know very well the horror of the epidemic, this is a person who is about to die in a city at every turn.

Zhao Qingrui called Feng Qujian and them over, "This time, I am going to add an additional question to the examination paper of the cabinet selection assessment, and I will use this epidemic as the topic to see their ability to handle things." ”

"Your Majesty, the exam questions have been printed, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate to make changes at this time." Feng Qu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect His Majesty to suddenly add a question.

"This question is printed and answered on a separate page, and does not have to be added to the back of another paper."

"In addition, if the additional questions are answered well, I can be admitted exceptionally, and the scores of the additional questions will also be included in the total score." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.

"The minister commands." Feng Quji didn't say much, this question was only used as a current affairs exam, not to intervene in new knowledge, and it had little impact on those candidates.

"In the examination room for the cabinet selection and assessment, the examination time has been increased by half an hour." Zhao Qingrui reminded more.

"Your Majesty rest assured, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, the minister will make adjustments." Feng Quji said seriously.

If an extra question is added, it would be unfair to these candidates if the time is not increased.

After the order, many candidates in Xianyang City had no time to pay attention to the epidemic.

The students who participated in the cabinet selection now have to add an additional question to the exam, which is already a little more difficult than other exams, and now it will increase the difficulty, and they will all cry.

The outside discussion could not affect the decrees of the imperial court, and at this time in Lingnan, Wang Yuan and the doctors were already methodically starting to treat those who were infected with the epidemic.

With all kinds of disinfection measures given by Zhao Qingrui, all the infected people were gathered together and treated by doctors.

The epidemic here was quickly brought under control, and it was no longer full of rage.

And the officials here have all been arrested by Feng Zheng and investigated and interrogated one by one.

With the addition of all kinds of torture tools, there are not many strong-willed people among these people, and within two rounds, all these people will be recruited.

Looking at the results of the interrogation sent to his hands, Feng Zheng's face was very ugly.

"Go and call Wang Yuan." Feng Zao closed the interrogation results in his hand and said to the attendants beside him with a cold face.

Soon, Wang Yuan was invited over.

"What is the matter with Lord Feng looking for the official office at this time?" He is busy here, there are so many epidemic patients who need him to arrange, as well as the mobilization of various materials, he must pay attention to it, and there can be no mistakes.

"This official has already found out the whole story, and he needs to take the officials here back to Xianyang to convict." Feng Zheng looked at Wang Yuandao.

In a few years, Wang Yuan has also grown up rapidly, Feng Zheng is still a little envious, and his sons' qualifications are relatively mediocre.

Over the years, I have also taken several official examinations, but only two of them have been admitted, and because they have little ability, they have been assigned to less important positions.

And Wang Yuan is already a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is quite trusted by His Majesty.

"Can the lower officials see the results of the interrogation?" Wang Yuan looked at Feng Zheng and asked.

The situation here is a bit bad, during this time, the high-level officials were almost wiped out by Feng Zheng, and the remaining officials only had three or two kittens, fortunately, he brought a lot of people from Xianyang, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no one available.

"Yes." Feng Zai nodded and gave the interrogation report on the desk to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan looked at it at a glance, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Are those people crazy? Just in order not to affect his official road and not leave a stain, he actually did this?? Wang Yuan was furious.

The promotion system for officials in the DPRK and China is gradually improving, and if they want to rise, they must not leave any stain other than absolute merit.

This time, the epidemic came quickly and violently, at first it only spread in a county seat, and the county order directly ordered the execution of serious people, and he did not dare to report it, so he concealed the matter.

It's just that he knows that he can't hide it, so he used his savings to make a point to the officials at all levels in Lingnan, hoping that they wouldn't mention this matter during the assessment at that time, so that their rise would be hindered.

In this way, when they feel that everything is safe, when the epidemic is safe and enjoyable for them, the number of infected people increases rapidly.

The epidemic is expanding rapidly, and they also want to solve the epidemic before the court knows about it, but they underestimate the horror of the epidemic.

Even if they asked doctors to treat the head of Qian, who was infected with the epidemic, it didn't have much effect, and with their various indiscriminate command operations, the epidemic had spread to other counties.

This time it is completely impossible to hide it, and if it continues to be hidden, even if the punishment of the three tribes is abolished, they will probably be pulled out of the three tribes.

The impact of the epidemic this time is too great, and they only have one thought left, it's over, their life is over.

After reading the results of the interrogation, Wang Yuan couldn't wait to cut those officials with a thousand knives now.

"Not only did these people not report the epidemic, but they also gave and accepted bribes, and you will take someone to raid these people's homes in a while." Feng Zheng looked at Wang Yuan.

"Don't worry, Lord Feng, the next official will go." Wang Yuan simply hated these people, these people were not worthy of being officials.

After leaving from Feng Zheng's side, Wang Yuan went directly to Li You, borrowed hundreds of people from him, and raided these officials one by one.

Seeing the things copied out, whether it was Wang Yuan Li You or Feng Zheng, several people were silent, the number of these things was too much.

These officials have been here for a maximum of three years, which adds up to nearly 10,000 yuan.

"These people are too much." Wang Yuan said angrily.

"The official brought these things back to Xianyang first, such a huge amount of money, it needs Your Majesty to decide." Feng Zai said seriously.

"What Lord Feng said is that this matter has a bad impact, and these people must be punished as they deserve." Wang Yuan said angrily, he has also seen a lot of officialdom in the darkness over the years, but he has never seen such a bad thing this time.

Feng Zao began to rush back to Xianyang with the officials who had committed the crime, as well as a large amount of money.

And Wang Yuan and Li You continued to be busy managing the affected people here, and the impact of the epidemic was too great, and there were still too few doctors brought.

Even if there are local doctors here to help treat the affected people, they are still too busy.

Among them, a doctor researched a prescription to prevent the epidemic, and after Wang Yuan made sure that there was no problem with the prescription, he began to let people go to various places to boil medicine, so that everyone could drink a bowl.

Under the various actions of the imperial court, the epidemic has been slowly cured, and some serious people are gradually improving.

When Zhao Qingrui received the news, she was also relieved.

Fortunately, this time the epidemic was not smallpox plague or anything like that, otherwise she would have gone crazy.

In two days, Feng Zheng will be able to return to Xianyang, and when the time comes, she will be able to know the situation over there in detail.

Thinking of the book sent back by Feng Zheng, Zhao Qingrui's mood was not good.

Those who were on a vegetarian diet were what she hated the most.

"Your Majesty, the exam will start tomorrow, can Your Majesty go over to investigate?" Shang Lian took the book over and asked Zhao Qingrui about her next plans.

"Let's go check it out." Zhao Qingrui nodded, those who took the exam were the future of Daqin's officialdom, and she was still very concerned about this matter.

"Minister, let's arrange it." Shang Lian said respectfully, since His Majesty wants to go over and see, then everything must be arranged, if something goes wrong, ten heads of these people will not be enough to cut off.

"It doesn't have to be grand, I can just take a private look at it then." Zhao Qingrui said, in the past with great fanfare, I am afraid that there will be a lot of deliberate performances and want to take shortcuts.

"No."

After Shang Lian left, in the Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Qingrui looked at the book sent by Feng Zai.

With the exam approaching, before the exam even began, the candidates had already arrived at the auditorium.

According to the different classifications, these candidates were assigned to various places as soon as they came, so as not to find their direction and delay the exam.

Zhao Qingrui stood in the attic, looking at the countless people below, and sighed with emotion in her heart.

In just a few years, a lot of talents have emerged in Daqin.

At the beginning of the assessment, there were not even one percent of the people who came to participate.

As Daqin became more and more prosperous, more and more people participated in the assessment.

This year is also a record high, with nearly 300,000 people participating this year, which can be said to be quite a frightening number.

Of course, those who participated in this assessment are all for the sake of going further in the future.

The competition here is also the fiercest in all industries.

Of course, if you want to enter the officialdom, it is not impossible to have a lower difficulty, and the officials in various places are invigilated by the county guards in various places.

The questions of the examination are applied to the imperial court every year by the county guard.

All the information of the people who were admitted to the examination should also be sent to Xianyang for review, and after making sure that there is no problem, they can be approved to become officials.

Although the process is a bit complicated, these are necessary, and if there is a problem with the officials, no one can bear this responsibility.

And the people who took this assessment organized by Xianyang, everyone knows very well that as long as you are admitted, as long as you work hard, you will definitely go further than taking the path of the officials.

There is a shortage of people in the DPRK and China, and many people know it.

And His Majesty's temperament, she likes officials who do practical things, which is already fair to most people, and this is their chance to show their strength.

Zhao Qingrui looked at those people with nervous expressions, and many of them were holding books and reading, and many of them had big dark circles on their faces.

This is their chance to change their fate, they have to work harder, they can't guarantee that they are better than others, there are so many people who participate in the assessment every year, and the number of people admitted is so much, the competition is too fierce.

Looking at the red enthusiasm on the faces of these people, I don't know if these people can maintain this red enthusiasm when they are admitted to the official career in the future, the big dye vat of officialdom is really changing people.
