A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

Zhou Qiong said, "Uncle, I'm just giving you an example. Don't take it too seriously. Let's talk about the supplies for this trip. You don't need multiple people to arrange them. I can personally escort them."

Emperor Tai'an glanced at Liu Boyi who was frowning and said, "Come here, go to the Queen's Palace and drag Liu Baoquan to the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He will be punished with fifty sticks and a hundred slaps."

Liu Boyi was about to step forward to plead for mercy, but the minister beside him pulled his sleeves and robes. He immediately looked stern and stood silently.

Who doesn't know that Liu Baoquan was a domestic slave in Duke Wu's palace. He entered the palace in order to serve the Queen and is now the chief steward of Fengluan Palace.

His Majesty's treatment of Liu Baoquan was not only to vent his anger on Zhou Qiong, but also to defeat the two brothers and sisters.

But Liu Boyi was unwilling to do so.

He did not dare to look at His Majesty, but only dared to look at Zhou Qiong with cold eyes.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiong raised an eyebrow at him and smiled.

Very provocative.

Liu Boyi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and warned himself not to be angry. When this kid goes to Qingzhou, he will look good.

Just be proud of it now, do you think it is a good job?

impossible.

After Zhou Qiong gave the Liu family eye drops and won sympathy in Emperor Tai'an's heart, Emperor Tai'an was very generous.

In front of everyone, he announced the amount of materials to be given to him, and also named Shangshu Jin, who always remained neutral, to prepare it, and he would be able to set off at noon tomorrow.

Of course, because Zhou Qiong was still young after all, Emperor Tai'an ordered a few more people he wanted to support to accompany him.

After some arrangements, it was already dark and everyone was about to leave. Suddenly, in the thick darkness, the sound of horse hooves was heard.

Cycling is prohibited in the palace unless——

Another urgent report.

"Report, Yanzhou 800 miles urgent!"

boom!

The 800-mile express service appears twice a day.

All the ministers were panic-stricken, and even Lord Wu was worried.

His family's Zhongwu Army is stationed in Yanzhou, and the prefect there is a close confidant of his Liu family. He should be informed of anything, even the most dangerous Beirong invasion. How can he expedite this eight hundred miles? Send him to the palace first?

He ignored the looks of the ministers within the faction and only frowned at the urgent report that was sent to Emperor Tai'an, secretly speculating on its contents.

Could it be that Beirong is dishonest again?

But Emperor Tai'an read the letter quickly, slapped the letter hard on the table, and said the content of the letter himself.

"When the Beirong invaded, their soldiers seemed to be infected with the disease, which was also transmitted to the Zhongwu Army. In just a few days, a quarter of the soldiers in the Zhongwu Army were infected with the disease."

this......

All the ministers looked at each other.

This is much more serious than a person from Xuerong City getting the disease.

Boss Yao Ge boldly stepped forward, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Tai'an sighed heavily and thrust the urgent report into his hand.

Yao Gelao finished scanning ten lines with one eye, and his figure was slightly swaying, but he quickly stood up straight again, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, there is still a distance between the Zhongwu Army camp in Yanzhou and the surrounding cities, and the commander also ordered Everyone in the army is not allowed to go out. I hope the epidemic will not spread. The top priority is to send a few more imperial doctors to Yanzhou to diagnose and treat the soldiers."

Emperor Tai'an nodded.

He quickly calmed down, "Fortunately, the letter also mentioned that the plague had broken out in Beirong, and there was no time to invade Yanzhou at this time. So according to the arrangements just made by Qingzhou, we set up an ambassador to patrol the state, and arranged for the imperial doctors to work with them. Supplies are with you.”

After saying that, Emperor Tai'an turned to Liu Boyi and asked, "The Zhongwu Army has always been led by your brother General Liu, Duke Wu. Your Liu family knows a lot about Yanzhou. Do you have any other regulations?"

How could Liu Boyi have any regulations at this moment? His whole body was shaken by the news.

Yanzhou has an army of 200,000 from the Liu family, which has been the foundation of the Liu family for hundreds of years. They were all infected by Beirong's plague. Not to mention that a quarter of the people were infected, even if only ten died. One percent, that's all bleeding from his heart.

What is Liu Zhongxuan doing?

How can a leader lead such a thing?

Liu Boyi looked gloomy and shook his head, "It all depends on Your Majesty."

Emperor Tai'an asked again, "Do you have a candidate for the ambassador to the state?"

Liu Boyi looked at the ministers behind him, thinking quickly about who would be most suitable to go.

Suddenly, a surprised voice was heard asking: "We can't just follow the old rules. Why does Duke Wu still choose people from among the ministers?"

Zhou Qiong looked around and said to herself: "Didn't Duke Wu just say that whichever family has family members leading troops there and has connections with the local people is the most suitable candidate for ambassador to the state."

"I thought everyone thought so, so they chose me to go to Qingzhou. So everyone is treating me differently?"

There was silence.

All the originally chaotic discussions stopped.

Everyone looked at Zhou Qiong with complicated expressions, and realized for the first time that perhaps they had underestimated Prince Zhou.

A tiger father has no dog sons.

How could Zhou Yancheng's grandson and Zhou Xuanhui's son be a dandy and mediocre person who only knew about romance and jealousy?

They got the wrong person.

It was precisely because of their contempt that this boy, who was only eighteen years old tonight, single-handedly defeated the Liu family.

No one dared to speak out.

Emperor Tai'an watched from the wall.

Lin Shilang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly took a step forward and said with a smile: "Prince Zhou, don't be joking. Duke Wu is the pillar of the imperial court. Naturally, he has to stay in Ruidu to assist His Majesty. How can he go to Yanzhou in person?"

Zhou Qiong didn't even look at him, but said calmly and in a voice that everyone could hear clearly: "Doesn't he have a son? His ancestors of the Liu family contributed to the Dongrui Sheji, and there were also one or two heroes in Yanzhou. Wandering around the land, I think I’d be happy to see the young master.”

"Moreover, aren't the people of Yanzhou also close to the Zhongwu Army, and aren't they also closer to the Liu family?"

He actually returned all the remarks made by Wu Guogong and his colleagues against him just now.

Everyone's expressions were complicated. Zhou Qiong was really a ruthless character this time, and he was determined to retaliate.

He is no longer the young boy who lets others take advantage of him and only cries at His Majesty.

Liu Boyi looked at Zhou Qiong, feeling overwhelmed.

Zhou Qiong is no longer the young boy who lets others take advantage of him and can only cry at His Majesty.

It's a wolf cub.

Right under his nose, a wolf cub grew up, a wolf cub that could show its fangs and devour flesh and blood.

Liu Boyi suppressed all his emotions and looked at Emperor Tai'an calmly.

Emperor Tai'an remained silent, seeming to be waiting for something.

Liu Boyi knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, my son is still young and can't bear to hold such a big responsibility. It's better for me to go to Yanzhou in person to handle this matter."

Emperor Tai'an shook his head, "It's just a kid's joke. Why do you take it seriously? You are an adult, why bother with a child?"

Liu Boyi's face was livid, knowing that if he didn't go, he would be a joke to the whole Dongrui after today, and Emperor Tai'an's words were obviously asking him to admit his mistake.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, what Prince Zhou said is reasonable. I should have gone."

This time, he admitted defeat.
