Chapter 196: Zhongqing City
Recently, locust plagues have continued, and the atmosphere in the court has been depressing.
Pei Zhi also dealt with a lot of things, leaving early and returning late, Jiang Li had to spend his mind on setting up a school.
Zhongqing City reported urgently, saying that the county magistrate and other officials inside have not heard from each other, and it seems that the city has been closed.
People on the outside can't get in, and people on the inside can't get out.
Emperor Xiaojing was furious when he heard these words.
A small county town, now that no news has come out, and His Majesty has not been consulted, he dares to make such a move.
Emperor Xiaojing made a big fire in the court, and then asked: "Is there any Aiqing who is willing to go and see what is going on?" ”
Zhongqingcheng is an underdeveloped place, where the journey is as little as half a month and as many as a few months.
The road is long and arduous, and who knows if there will be any accidents on the way.
If it is just such a small county, His Majesty naturally does not have so much thought to spend on it, but this place is still extremely important.
Close to the border pass, but if the border pass is lost, if there is another accident, you can go straight to the hinterland.
Emperor Xiaojing was worried about this, so he was so angry.
The ministers know the arduous and know that this road will be passed by themselves, and it is estimated that it will only be thankless.
have shirked.
The group of shirking courtiers under Emperor Xiaojing were even more angry.
"You can't get on top when you encounter things, does the court raise you all to eat white rice?"
The courtiers below knelt on the ground, but still no one was willing to take on this task.
Compared with being scolded by the emperor without pain, and going to such a place is hard, normal people know how to choose.
And if the errand is done well, then it is good to say, if something goes wrong, Your Majesty will not care about the reason.
When the court was at an impasse, Pei Zhi's cold voice came.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go."
It stands to reason that such drudgery would not have been his turn in any case.
His Majesty's close ministers, his duty is to protect the palace and the safety of His Majesty's side.
Emperor Xiaojing naturally divided these things very clearly in his heart, so he didn't take these things into account for Pei Zhi from the beginning.
After Pei Zhi's words fell, the entire court was much quieter.
Emperor Xiaojing wanted to say a few words, but now in the court, there seems to be no other better choice.
Pei Zhi spoke: "The minister knows that His Majesty is embarrassed, Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister will not be as good as the mission in the past." ”
During the time I came to Luoyang, it was time to start taking action in this area.
If Pei Zhi had been in the palace, there would be no way to solve many things at all, and now this is an opportunity for him.
Emperor Xiaojing looked at the dignified young man and sighed.
"The Manchu Dynasty is not as good as a Pei Zhi."
Emperor Xiaojing replanned the weight in his heart, the person in front of him, no one in the court of the incident can go up now, and he spontaneously goes up.
Such a talent and such a henchman are naturally what he needs the most.
His affection for Pei Zhi deepened a little.
The sycophant immediately began: "Having someone like Master Pei is a blessing for my Jingming Dynasty." ”
Emperor Xiaojing looked at the young man in the center, this person was the one he pulled out and saved his two lives, and he was the person he trusted very much.
If he could, he didn't want Pei Zhi to go over.
Pei insisted on being by his side, and he felt much more at ease.
"Well, in that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
"If you encounter something that can't be solved, write to the court in time."
Emperor Xiaojing's words were already clearly partial, which meant that if he had something that could not be solved, he could come back directly, and he would not blame him.
After the surrounding ministers heard this, they knew that Pei Zhi's status by His Majesty's side had deepened a little.
It's just that now there is a person who stands up and is willing to solve this matter for them, which is naturally better for them.
Pei Zhi helped them in some places.
Otherwise, according to His Majesty's temperament, he will definitely draw one of them at will.
This mountain is high and the road is far away, who wants to go over!
Pei Zhi is tall and jade, and he is not shocked.
arched his hand, and the whole person looked very personable: "Minister, you will not disgrace your mission." ”
——
Jiang Li heard the news when she was in her yard, and the whole person was a little surprised.
How could the third brother suddenly propose to go to such a place! Isn't he still in Luoyang City now?
She was naturally worried that the situation over there was unclear, and if something went wrong, how to show goodwill.
Before Pei Zhi came back, she was already worried.
When Aunt Ji saw this movement, she naturally knew what was going on.
Pei Zhi couldn't control many things, but for such a dangerous matter, she agreed directly without discussing it with her family!
Pei Zhi had just come back when he was pulled by Aunt Ji and Jiang Li.
Jiang Li seemed to have cried for a while, with a little red in her eyes, "Third brother, why didn't you discuss it with your family, so you agreed." ”
Aunt Ji also complained a little: "Son, it's really not me talking about you in this matter." ”
"Such a dangerous thing, at least it should be considered more!"
Pei Zhi raised his eyebrows and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes for Jiang Li.
"Ah Li, it's not what you think."
Jiang Li didn't want to listen to his explanations, the matter had already been decided, and the third brother had nothing to quibble about in this regard.
"How is it not what I thought it would be!"
"Third brother, we all know it, you don't have to hide it."
Pei Zhi hadn't spoken yet, and when he saw the little girl's appearance, he wanted to laugh.
"Ah Li, I promised to go, naturally I have my own things to do."
"You know, I don't just want to be a courtier by His Majesty's side."
After Jiang Li heard this, she was still shaking her hands and wiping her tears just now, and she suddenly became alert.
When he grabbed Pei Zhi, he looked left and right, and was relieved to make sure that there was no talent around.
"Third brother, why do you say this casually regardless of the occasion!"
If there are people around here who listen to the corner, then it's okay.
Pei Zhi saw that the little girl's expression changed so quickly, and he felt even more funny in his heart.
"What's not safe here?"
The whole house is its own people, and not even a single mosquito can fly in, where will something happen to listen to the corner.
Jiang Li didn't want him to divert the topic, "Third brother, so what exactly do you want to do?" ”
It's a very difficult place, and no matter what you do, it's probably going to be difficult.
And the thought of two people not being able to see each other for so long.
Although he hadn't left yet, Jiang Li already had a reluctant feeling in his heart.
