Zhuo Qihua

After Emperor Yong'an read the transcript, Longyan was furious.The officials involved in this incident, not to mention the officials in charge of Dengzhou Port, but Gu Yanqing, Zhang Bihe, Cao Xing, a magistrate, a governor, and a Sima of the Ministry of Rites, as long as one of them Being an upright official, this magical medicine would not be placed in front of Emperor Yong'an.What made Emperor Yong'an even more furious was that they even put their minds on Zhuo Ji, and this matter was brought up by Cao Xing!Zhuo Ji knew this, if Zhuo Ji didn't know!Not only he will be recruited, Zhuo Ji will be recruited too!Emperor Yong'an wanted to kill Cao Xing alive.

Emperor Yong'an immediately issued dozens of imperial edicts.All officials of Gu Yanqing, Zhang Bihe, Cao Xing, and Dengzhou Port who had accepted bribes were all copied and executed, and all the assassins of the three clans were exiled to Beigu without pardon for life.Zhang Bihe was already dead, but Gu Yanqing and Cao Xing committed a heinous crime and Ling Chi was executed.All Haixi country businessmen in Mata country are arrested, and the Haixi country spies among them are thoroughly investigated.Thoroughly investigate the drugs that may have been scattered in the country, and arrest Lumentin at all costs, and detain Yuan Bosai and Lumentin's fleet.

In the middle of the night, the cabinet received an urgent package of [-] miles from Tongling Bieyuan.This night, Shao Pingqiu and Shi Yu were on duty.After watching this rush, the two of them broke out in a cold sweat.The other members of the cabinet who were sleeping in their respective mansions were all called up, and hurried to the cabinet, Qin Su and Qin Zhongyi were also called up.The two of them immediately led a thousand soldiers to the Bronze Spirit Courtyard, and brought back His Majesty and Shun Yu.The entire capital was alarmed that night. All Haixi country businessmen in the capital were broken into their homes and taken away by the imperial guards of the Mata country. All the people and property in the mansion were seized. If it was found out that they were not Haixi country spies and had no intention of murdering , will let them back.

Zhuo Ji woke up early, awakened by the nightmare.In the dream, for the first time, he didn't dream of the tragedy of the last days, but dreamed that Emperor Yong'an was lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Nightmare again?"

Zhuo Ji hurriedly turned his head, and when he saw the safe and sound Emperor Yong'an, he hugged him.Emperor Yong'an wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck with a handkerchief, and patted with the other hand: "Nightmare again?"

Zhuo Ji didn't evade, and said, "I dreamed that His Majesty was lying on the ground covered in blood."

Emperor Yong'an suppressed the bloodlust in his heart, and comforted him, "It's just a dream. With you here, I will be safe and sound. Come, let's go bubble with me, and then eat something. I have already ordered to return to Beijing early."

Zhuo Ji didn't move, but asked: "Did you find out?"

"The question came out. I'm going to tell you while we're having trouble. They're not dead yet. I've ordered them to be brought back to Beijing, and they'll be put to death by Ling Chi."

Zhuo Ji sat up.

The two soaked in the warm pool, and Emperor Yong'an told Zhuo Ji what happened before and after, Zhuo Ji angrily photographed the water surface: "This is a traitor! For my own selfish desires, I don't care about your Majesty's safety or the country's safety! It is not a pity for an official to die a thousand times!"

Emperor Yong'an: "Officials betray the country, and the Ministry of Officials has an unshirkable responsibility. I decided to return to Beijing in advance to resolve these matters. The Ministry of Officials has disappointed me too many times."

Zhuo Ji: "The position of the Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Officials is very important. Is Your Majesty planning to remove Mi Shangshu from his position?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Isn't this enough for me to take off his black hat?"

Zhuo Ji: "Do you have a suitable candidate, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yong'an: "There is one."

"Who?"

"Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, Liu Qian."

When Zhuo Ji heard that this person was the candidate, he said: "Your Majesty said that he is a very pragmatic person about taking the provincial examination. The quality and character of officials are related to the governance of the country. Officials can be greedy for money, but they must also be able to serve the people. Do practical things and think about the development of the country. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. It does not mean that every official should have a breeze. This is also impossible. But scum like Cao Xing, Zhang Bihe, and Gu Yanqing , No matter how glorious their political achievements are, they cannot be used.”

Emperor Yong'an: "I will definitely punish severely. They want to harm me and my beloved servants, how can I let them go. Just promise me, don't be sullen again. What should I do if I get mad at you?"

Zhuo Ji hugged Emperor Yong'an: "Well, don't be angry, I will live with His Majesty healthy and healthy for 100 years."

Emperor Yong'an smiled: "It's right to think so."

Zhuo Ji smiled, and said seriously: "That Lumenting, don't rush to kill. He must have a nautical chart in his hand, which is too important to us. Although Lumenting and Yuan Bosai are damned, but this Once they delivered something we urgently needed to our door. Your Majesty, if that Peiban is not far from Mata country, His Majesty must order to train a navy as soon as possible, and then go to Peiban. First destroy the drug plantation there, Then use Peiban as our country's first base in the open sea. We have artillery, which is our greatest advantage."

Emperor Yong'an nodded solemnly and said, "Okay. Take him back first."

■

Qin Su and Qin Zhongyi rushed to Tongling with a thousand imperial guards, and Emperor Yong'an was also ready.Zhuo Ji has been a little dizzy since that day, and Emperor Yong'an immediately ordered to leave for Beijing immediately.Chu Zu became angry, Qin Su and Qin Zhongyi were worried, and Emperor Yong'an also had no smile on his face.Regarding Zhang Bihe's death, Qin Su and Qin Zhongyi only felt that his death was too cheap.

Dressed in plain clothes, Zhuo Ji came out of the Yangxin Palace led by Emperor Yong'an. Seeing the still pale person, Qin Zhongyi's heart ached.He bowed deeply: "I humbly pay my respects to you."

Zhuo Ji smiled lightly and said, "Commander Qin has worked hard all the way."

"It's a humble duty. Your Majesty and your family are safe and sound, and God bless the country."

The faint smile on Zhuo Ji's face disappeared, and he said, "Those three criminals, don't let them die on the road. Let them go back to the capital."

"Humble and understand."

Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji up to the elephant cymbal, and he would change to the big cymbal when he was at the foot of the mountain.The elephant was moving, and Emperor Yong'an said worriedly: "Go back and ask Hu Pengju to take a good look at it for you, don't be anemic."

Zhuo Ji: "No. It's just that the weather was so severe that it didn't slow down. It will be fine in a few days."

Emperor Yong'an: "If it wasn't for the weak body, how could you have been unable to recover. After returning to the palace, you will live in Fengtian Hall first. When you are not empty, when will you return to Xiangfu Palace."

Zhuo Ji raised his head: "I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Emperor Yong'an: "Who dares to say it's inappropriate."

Zhuo Ji smiled, lying in Emperor Yong'an's arms and closing his eyes.Emperor Yong'an rubbed his forehead in distress.He was happy to understand Zhuo Ji's feelings for him, but Zhuo Ji's dizziness made him worry endlessly.

The harem also knew about Tong Ling, and the queen mother was also terrified.If Zhuo Ji didn't know what it was, once the emperor used that harmful thing, it would be a disaster that would shake the foundation of the society!The emperor decided to return to the palace early, and the queen mother began to count the days.As for Zhuo Ji killing Zhang Bihe in public, the Empress Dowager thought bitterly, Zhuo Ji was not cruel enough, if she was present, the emperor would definitely order the emperor to execute him instantly!

Zhang Bihe's family members have been arrested and imprisoned.Although Emperor Yong'an said that his entire family was copied and beheaded, it was only Zhang Bihe's family members, and the servants in the family were not counted, but those servants would also be murdered as criminals.

Three days later, the emperor's guard of honor entered the capital.The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager waited outside the Chonghui Gate with everyone in the harem.Concubine Xi looked forward anxiously, she missed Zhuo Ji very much, and wanted to see if he was better.A fast horse came galloping and reined in as it approached.The person on the horse got off his horse and knelt down on one knee to salute, saying: "The empress dowager, the imperial concubine, your majesty ordered that you should be carried into Fengtian Hall by the palace sedan chair if you feel unwell. Chonghuimen is waiting, after His Majesty returns to the palace to change clothes, he will go to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother was anxious when she heard this: "What's wrong with Shunxi?"

"I don't know the little one. Your Majesty only said that you are not feeling well."

The Queen Mother immediately went to see Huang Guixie, and Huang Guixie tried to calmly say: "Queen Mother, let's go back first." Then he said to Huaiqing: "Immediately call Doctor Hu into the palace."

Afterwards, Huang Guixie asked everyone else to go back, and he, Deguixie, Xiguifei, and Mingxie accompanied the Queen Mother back to Shoukang Palace.The queen mother was very anxious: "I'm going to Tongling for recuperation, why is my body still not recovered?"

Concubine Xi was very anxious, and Mingyu's eyes were red with worry, Deguixie said: "Queen Mother, please don't worry. Shunxi seems to be very angry this time, maybe it has something to do with this matter."

Huang Guixie also said: "Perhaps it is because of this. Didn't Shunxi get angry after beating Zhang Bihe? Shunxi has such a good temper on weekdays. We have never seen him so angry that he hit someone. It must be because of anger." Cruel."

Empress Dowager: "Hurry up and send someone to look at it. The emperor will come and tell me as soon as he comes back."

The eunuch in the Empress Dowager's room went out immediately.

The queen mother and others waited anxiously for a long time, and the eunuch who went out to inquire came back and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Shunxiu have returned to Fengtian Hall. Shunxiu took the medicine and fell asleep. Your Majesty took Shunxiu I carried her into Fengtian Hall."

The Empress Dowager asked anxiously, "Have you taken the medicine? But it's serious?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Your Majesty asked your servant to come back and report to the Queen Mother. After changing clothes, Your Majesty will come over to greet the Queen Mother."

Huang Guixie: "Doctor Hu has passed?"

"Doctor Hu has passed away."

After waiting anxiously for a long time, an eunuch finally came in: "Your Majesty has arrived."

The queen mother stood up immediately.

Emperor Yong'an walked in with the coldness of the end of the year. As soon as he came in, the queen mother didn't bother to ask about her son's situation, she opened her mouth and asked, "What's wrong with Shunxi? Why did you take medicine and fell asleep?"

Emperor Yong'an asked Zhang Xian to take off his cloak for him, and replied: "He has been dizzy for the past few days, and he can't sleep well at night. He drank medicine on the way, which has the effect of calming the nerves. When he entered Beijing, the effect of the medicine just came up."

Huang Guixie: "Is Shunxi still not in good health?"

Emperor Yong'an sat down, took the hot tea from Aunt Shen, and said, "It's already healed. He got angry about the 'miracle medicine' and became very angry. After that, he was dizzy all the time, and he always had nightmares at night."

Queen Mother: "Those who participated in it should be executed immediately!"

Emperor Yong'an: "For the time being, he will first live in Fengtian Palace."

No one objected.The imperial concubine said: "Your Majesty just came back to talk with the Queen Mother, and the servants went back first."

"Well, you go back first."

Huangguixie, Deguixie, Xiguifei and Mingyu left.

As soon as they left, Shen Gu also retreated with the palace people in the room.Only Zhang Xian stayed in the house.Without avoiding Zhang Xian, the queen mother asked directly: "What's going on? I only know that someone gave you the poison as a magic medicine to harm you and Shunxie, but Shunxie saw it through on the spot, and Shunxie was so angry that he beat you. Zhang Bihe, governor of the Lanjiang Mansion, died."

Emperor Yong'an told his mother what happened in detail with a cold expression.The Queen Mother was very angry when she heard this: "It's no wonder that Shun is so angry. What if the drug spreads in the country?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Probably not, at most there will be some in Dengzhou. Then Yuan Bosai did not bring too many drugs when he entered Dengzhou, and a large amount of goods should still be on his ship. Yuan Bosai and those aliens are not the most Hateful, the most hateful are those officials involved in this matter. This time, my son will make an example."

The Empress Dowager agreed very much: "Zhang Bi and these people are eating inside and out, their hearts are sinister, and they must not be lightly spared!"

After talking with his mother for a while, Emperor Yong'an left.He didn't go anywhere else, he went straight back to Fengtian Hall.Hu Pengju had already finished the examination for Shun Yu, and when His Majesty came back, he reported, "The dizziness of Yu Chu was caused by extreme anger. He was physically weak and hadn't fully recovered yet, and he was really angry again. I'm a bit depressed, I have to let Zuo Chu let out all this evil fire."

Emperor Yong'an knew why Zhuo Ji was depressed. It was not just about the drugs, but this incident made him fall into some bad memories of the apocalypse, and it was difficult to get away from them.

"I know."

Hu Pengju handed over a prescription: "I have changed the prescription that Chu Chu had drunk before with two more medicines."

Emperor Yong'an read it and handed it to Zhang Xian.

After Hu Pengju left, Zhang Xian said worriedly: "Long live, you are always open-minded, but this time you are depressed. What should I do?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Call Zhaoyan and Chunyan over here."

Zhang Xian: "Long live?"

Emperor Yong'an: "I'll ask them about the Bailao Theater."

Zhang Xian understood and went out immediately.

His Majesty returned to the palace and moved into the Fengtian Palace. This incident did not cause any waves in Danyang Palace, everyone was used to it.Anyway, Shun Yu's status in the harem is comparable to that of a queen.It's just that His Majesty passed on the news of Zhaoyi and Chunyan just after returning from Shoukang Palace. Everyone couldn't understand this matter, even the Queen Mother couldn't understand it.Ming Xun who got the news was very angry: "Why did Your Majesty summon Zhaoyan and Chunyan!"

Mingyu was worried about Zhuo Ji, and didn't have the heart to go back to work, so he simply went to Yunyue Palace with De Guixie.Knowing that His Majesty summoned Zhaoyan and Chunyan to Fengtian Temple, Mingyu exploded on the spot.De Guixie hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be surprised. Shun is in Fengtian Hall. His Majesty must have something to do when he summoned Zhaoyan and Chunyan."

Mingyu: "Then you can't call Zhaoyan and Chunyan right after you come back! What will others think!"

De Guixie glared at Mingyu: "I know you feel sorry for Shunxi. Let's see why Your Majesty summoned the two of them first. If Your Majesty really cares about the two of them, what do you do?" Say nothing more."

Mingyu stopped talking.

Being summoned by His Majesty, Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng were also taken aback.The first feeling of the two of them was not joy, but fear.Qi Yiguo turned pale with fright: "Yifeng, Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty call you and me, come over..."

Tong Yifeng tried to calm down and said: "Don't panic, I'm afraid you have something to ask. Hurry up and change your clothes, and don't keep His Majesty waiting."

Qi Yiguo's legs were weak and he was supported by the close palace servants to go back to change clothes. Tong Yifeng clenched his fists. He was sure that His Majesty definitely didn't call the two of them over to have a heart-to-heart talk, let alone sleeping, let alone this It's broad daylight, but it's in Fengtian Temple!Your Majesty will not summon two servants to sleep at once.Thinking of this, Tong Yifeng felt a little more at ease.

The two didn't dare to delay, they changed their clothes, made sure that there was nothing wrong with their makeup, and walked directly to Fengtian Hall without taking a seat.Emperor Yong'an was waiting in the bedroom, and when he learned that the two had come, he got up and left the bedroom.When Tong Yifeng and Qi Yiguo arrived, it was Feng Xi who greeted them outside, and he first saluted: "My maidservant greets you two."

Tong Yifeng asked directly: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned me and Chunyu..."

Feng Xi said: "Your Majesty has something to ask the two of you. By the way, you have taken the medicine and you are still asleep. You two need to keep your voice down after entering."

Qi Yiguo obviously exhaled, and Tong Yifeng was completely relieved.The two followed Feng Xi into the bedroom, and when they saw His Majesty, they bowed and lowered their voices: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"You don't need to be too polite, sit down."

The two sat down.

Emperor Yong'an wanted to guard Zhuo Ji, so he summoned Chuntong and Zhaotong here.Emperor Yong'an kept his voice very low, as long as Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng could hear it.

"Before Shunxi went to Tongling, I told you two about the Bailao Theater. Have you two been there?"

It turned out that this matter, Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng were completely relieved.Tong Yifeng said: "The two attendants have been there. Your Majesty will go to Tongling in March. I don't know, but the Bailao Theater is very hot now. Every day, the venue is full, and many people are hard to get a ticket. For Cracking down on ticket reselling, all the stewards of the Bailao Theater have been found by the waiter. The waiter also reported the matter to Huang Gui, who sent the steward of the palace department to suppress it. The situation is getting better.

The story of "Yang Naiwu and Xiaobaicai" written by Shishen and Chunyou was finished by the two of them.It's just that Zuo's body is not well yet, and I don't know if I can show him to have a look. "

Emperor Yong'an was satisfied when he heard that the Bailao Theater was in good condition, and he said: "The story is not in a hurry. Shun Xun was angry in Tongling, and he was very angry. I want him to be happy. You two choose one It’s beautiful and funny, let the theater prepare it right away. When it’s ready, I’ll take you by the way and have a look.”

Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng were completely relieved, and Tong Yifeng immediately said: "Sishen and Chunyi will make preparations when they go back, but the theater operator has merged into the 'Zhaoyuan Commercial Firm' before leaving. It is still necessary to Bing Ming's noble concubine."

Emperor Yong'an: "You decide for yourself."

"The waiter and Chunyi will go back and prepare now."

"ASAP."

"Yes."

Tong Yifeng and Qi Yiguo left, and Zhang Xian, who knew the meaning of Long Live, said: "Long Live is a really good idea. You have been busy all the time, and if Wan Live can accompany you to the theater, you will feel better soon. .”

Emperor Yong'an was not too optimistic, and said: "We must make sure that there are no drugs in the territory of Mata, and all those people will be arrested. Maybe his mood will be better. He will go to court tomorrow."

"Yes."
