You won’t be afraid if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and cultivate immortality

Jun Mingde took over the list of the Royal Medicine Storehouse from the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was in a bad mood. Looking at the pages of accounts, he only had one idea now, which was to pull all these people out and cut them apart. Blocked.

The support of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year has raised a large group of moths. The chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still a close confidant whom he promoted just a few months ago.

The old eunuch Cao Teng, who was highly valued and trusted by his father before, does not seem to be a man who is greedy for pleasure. He has no children or relatives, and money is of no use to him. He has followed the late emperor all his life, starting from the time when he was the prince. He grew up with her, later went to the battlefield, and finally settled in this palace.

Along the way, there has been ups and downs, but there is no doubt that Eunuch Cao is loyal. Even if he is disloyal, Jun Mingde will not doubt Cao Teng. The facts are before his eyes. Jun Mingde remembers clearly that just a few days after his father's death, Cao Teng also died on the bed, exhausted, with only an eunuch named Xiao Guizi waiting on him. After knowing the news, I felt a little sad. After all, according to the common people, Cao Teng can be regarded as an elder who watched him grow up.

Even if they die a few days apart, the king and his ministers can be considered to have a beginning and an end. Jun Mingde specifically ordered that he be buried at the foot of the hillside of his father's mausoleum. The two of them could stay together and talk while underground. On the day when the coffin was buried and the coffin was buried, Jun Mingde went there specially to return the funerary objects. They were just some daily things that were not exchanged. That Xiao Guizi was a low-ranking eunuch and had a hard time in the palace. Jun Mingde remembered that at that time He was rewarded with a lot of daily necessities and sent to stay in the imperial mausoleum on errands.

What exactly is the problem? Is it someone who is working below, deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors, taking bribes and perverting the law?

Since I don’t know, and it’s such a big deal, I’ll find out if I check it out. Quickly notify the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Personnel to hold a joint trial among the three departments.

A large-scale battle unprecedented in a century, with multiple departments cooperating, the overnight sudden trial took several hours to come up with the general result, involving as many as 200 people involved in the case, many of whom had retired and returned to their hometowns, and several The key core personnel are actually people who died without any evidence.

The source of many of the major corruption evidence actually points to the late emperor and these princes, and even more important officials in the court.

Of course, there is definitely no conclusive evidence, and the chain of people involved in the case is also simple. The deacons and eunuchs in charge of the palace, together with some store stewards outside the palace, committed this, which is not a big deal in ordinary times, and the boss behind these stewards is not the court. These important ministers are inextricably linked to the princes.

These courtiers, who had been busy all night, were also confused. Why did they find out that all the investigations were on their own heads? They did not care about the fatigue of the interrogator from the night, and they all went to the palace to plead guilty. Their words were surprisingly consistent: " Your Highness, this matter was all done by the bold and lawless store managers under my wife, and it has nothing to do with me."

Sure enough, as long as you want to get rid of this blame, this blame will not be shouldered for no reason. The Daqian Law clearly stipulates that officials cannot do business. It was originally intended to prevent people from using power for personal gain.

Unexpectedly, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Whose wife and concubine don’t have some dowry in their hands? It is reasonable for the dowry to include several shops!

This is my wife's dowry. What does it have to do with me? There is no way that after marrying me, all these well-run shops will be closed.

It is said that living in the capital is not easy. With the price of goods in the city and the salary ranging from dozens of taels to two hundred taels a year according to the official rank, let alone buying a decent house, just rent a house and live in it. Even if you don't spend a little bit of money, you may starve to death by the end of the month. The place where I rented an apartment was quite far from the office. I left early and came back late every day, which is exactly what I said. I went to bed later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken. If your family is poor and cannot afford a donkey cart or a mule cart, you will definitely be late for the light of day in windy or rainy weather. In case of such bad weather, these people would just make do with bunking on the floor of the yamen where they work for the night.

As for those officials who are high enough in rank and need to go to court to discuss matters, although their salaries are higher, their expenses are also much higher. Not to mention arriving on time to go to court every day, they have to live closer to the imperial city. The higher these areas are. The price of land close to the Imperial City is very high. Whether you rent or buy, the price is doubled according to the distance.

In addition, the higher the official rank, the more favors among colleagues, and the more masters and servants you can hire. They do not require money, have a small family background, and are not corrupt. The more senior an official is, the more relaxed he will be. I feel satisfied when I have enough food. Corruption is easy to breed among these middle- and high-level officials. In order to prevent such problems, the court has acquiesced in the law that dowry does not count as officials doing business.

Through this incident, Jun Mingde also deeply realized a word that Mr. Tuiye told him: nip in the bud.

Looking at the more than 200 names on the list and the ministers who were kneeling in the Chengde Palace, asking for forgiveness and disowning each other, Jun Mingde also felt deeply powerless. He could only say nothing to the scapegoats on the list. After Autumn, I was beheaded, and it was just winter time. I still have to be raised for a year. I will send them all directly to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. They will follow the instructions of the two imperial doctors to run errands and make meritorious deeds.

It was this decision that made these people who had narrowly escaped death hold grudges, and later brought out more big borers.

Lian Po, who was stationed outside the city, couldn't wait for Jun Yimo's decision. He decisively ordered tens of thousands of elite troops to be stationed outside the major city gates, and all the gates in and out of the city were blocked. The strategic task now was no longer to attack the city, but to prevent the spread of the plague.

Most of the medical supplies have been transferred from the army and will be delivered to the city by building a pontoon bridge and using hanging baskets to meet the urgent need. However, this matter is just being prepared first, and will be decided after two days. After all, for the same thing, there is a big difference between adding icing on the cake and giving timely assistance.

Sure enough, things are unpredictable, and plans cannot keep up with changes. This character who was preparing to attack cities and land and fight life and death a few days ago has now transformed into the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and saves all people from fire and water.

Rumors are spreading in the city that a disaster star is coming to bring trouble to the world.

It is caused by the energy of chaos colliding with Ziwei star. It is said that the owner needs to enter the palace where Ziwei star is located to break the plague.

………….

Although the plague was caught off guard, fortunately, all measures taken by the court were correct, and pesticide application points were opened in many places. All the Taoists from the Qingniu Temple, the largest Taoist temple in Beijing, went to the mountains to collect medicines and provided them free of charge to many medical clinics that were short of medicines. However, Jinguang Temple, which is usually very popular, has closed its doors to thank visitors. The elderly abbot and several stewards were all infected with the disease by pilgrims. Without any instructions, the other monks closed their doors if they were in danger.

What happened to Mr. Lin Ling, although it was late, fortunately the remediation was done properly, and no death cases have been reported yet. Of course, the deaths of patients who were already old and were already frail and sickly were not included in the death cases, which is good news. Give Jun Mingde, who has been busy for several days without a wink of sleep, some spiritual comfort.

A young eunuch hurried in with a letter in his hand and reported:

"Your Highness, Commander Kang of the Forbidden Army sent someone here. He said Lian Po ordered someone from outside the city to shoot up a letter. Please read it."

Jun Mingde quickly opened the letter and read it.

The content is also simple. The Jinzhou Army has raised a batch of tens of thousands of kilograms of various medicinal materials, and needs to build a small pontoon bridge in the moat and transport it up in a hanging basket.

After reading this letter, Jun Mingde's heart twitched. If Lian Po were standing opposite him at this moment, he would definitely start shouting: "You old man, what kind of hanging basket are you using to make it so troublesome? I will directly Open the city gate for you, bring it in and pull it down."
