Chapter 17 The prince is in the epidemic area, and the capital is in the headlines
The emperor in the court looked at the ministers and knew that the sixth prince was in the epidemic area at the moment, but he wanted to force her to show up. Finally, he couldn't hold back the anger he had suppressed for a long time, and saw him stand up and flick the sleeves of his gold-threaded silk shirt.
"That's enough! How can I not know what you're thinking? She has now rushed to the southwest epidemic area, and maybe she is treating the local people. But what about you......? But he tried every means to get the six princes back to the palace. After all, don't tell me all this for the prince's sake. ”
The Son of Heaven was angry, although there were not millions of corpses in the main hall, but it was enough to make the ministers grovel and dare not come out again.
"What's wrong? You're dumb? Didn't you just talk about it? Silence now?"
The emperor saw that his ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to respond, like a frightened bird. The thoughts of the ministers were said by the emperor to the surface, as if they had pierced the window paper.
At this time, the eldest prince Xianglin saw that the Son of Heaven would be angry in front of the ministers in the court because of the incident of the six princes, and in addition to being shocked, he stood up from the ranks of the ministers to try to calm down the Son of Heaven's heart.
"Father, stop your anger. The previous ministers' gaffes in the court caused the anger of my father, please forgive me. ”
The emperor took a deep look at the eldest prince who pleaded for the minister in front of him, and although he did not say anything, he turned back and sat back on the dragon chair.
Xianglin saw that his father did not show his attitude, so he repeated what he had just said.
"I didn't mean to embarrass the Qing family, it stands to reason that the six princes were ordered to go down the mountain, and they had to return to the palace to restore their lives. But he also went to the epidemic area so that the people could get timely treatment, so the public should not pursue this matter too much. ”
Speaking of this, the ministers saw that the emperor's attitude had eased and was not as tough as just now, and they also responded.
Han Cheng saw that the eldest prince came out to stabilize the mood of the Son of Heaven, and did not say anything but watched coldly.
After going down to the court, the eldest prince looked at the figure of his father leaving, remembered the scene that happened in the court just now, and thought thoughtfully. Usually the father and emperor who have always been mild-tempered never get angry in front of the ministers, even if it is really not in line with the emperor's wishes, but as long as the bottom line is not touched, he will not be so angry as today. As for the matter of the sixth child going down the mountain and returning to Beijing, it is not big or small, but it is not small. As long as the ministers don't talk too much about this matter, it will actually simplify the complex. But...... I always feel that in the past few days, everything in the court is about talking about the old six returning to the palace...... Even the good news from the border is not enough to make them pay so much attention, which is ......
Just when the eldest prince Xianglin wondered if his father wanted to pass the matter of the six princes, he only heard the newsboy holding up the newly released tabloid newspaper of the day and shouting: "Everyone come and see!" 'Propaganda all over the streets. Passers-by heard this, and took out the coins in their pockets and scrambled to buy the tabloids.
"Look! this cover ...... The prince is in the headlines!" The passer-by held the tabloid in one hand and flicked the font printed on the tabloid with the other.
"Yes! A while ago, everyone got together and talked about whether the six princes returned to Beijing after coming down the mountain, and now it seems that they have gone to the epidemic area!"
"I heard that the epidemic in that place is not light now! People are panicking, and I don't know if this epidemic can affect us here?"
"Probably not! The capital is far away from there, thousands of miles away. And to the southwest, you can still see the mountains from time to time, and they will not affect this place. ”
"That's hard to say, you see that now the six princes in the tabloids have all gone to the epidemic area, maybe the situation there is more complicated than we imagined. ”
"You just relax! This official hasn't spoken yet, the content of the tabloid is mixed, you and I can usually make a lot of funny jokes, don't scare yourself. ”
Regarding the fact that the six princes went down the mountain, there was no need for the court to come forward, and everyone in the capital knew where the six princes had returned to the capital, and they had already gone to the epidemic area after going down the mountain. When the people of the capital learned of this news, none of the previous rumors were earth-shattering than this news.
"After all, paper can't contain fire, but let ordinary people know about it. ”
"Brother Boyi, the content of this tabloid ...... The court didn't tell the people, where did this information come from?"
"You ask him, hehe, Luyang, where did you get the tabloid in your hand?"
"Brother Jin Yan, do you still need to ask? Of course I bought it from the newsboy!"
"In that case, where did the newsboys come from to sell these tabloids?"
"Printed in the capital, around the street to sell. These tabloids are often inferior to the official newspapers, or they are privately printed and sold, and it is impossible to find out the detailed source. ”
But these tabloids leaked the whereabouts of the Six Princes, although the Di Bao did not mention it...... To be sure, at least, there is no other person than them who can print these tabloids. ”
"Couldn't it be those people again?...... I used to be in the court endlessly, and now I have to engage in these moths. ”
Chu Boyi looked at Han Luyang and Jin Yan who were sitting with him, and had already guessed in his heart who these tabloids were from.
At this time, the interest of the people in the capital, whether it is high-ranking officials or ordinary people, has become more and more intense, which has attracted the attention of many people.
