Chapter 71 Unspoken

Gan Yi: Who is plotting behind father's back? !

Gan Biao was summoned to enter the palace overnight, and as soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he noticed that the six ministers, ministers of Dali Temple, and doctor Yushi gathered together. The emperor also looked anxious and his clothes were messy.

"A plague broke out in the cities of northern Xinjiang, and many people died of illness, what's more..." The emperor put his right hand into a fist, placed it on the table, trembling faintly, and shouted in a slightly raised voice: "The rumors are endless, there are Damage to Tianwei!"

This sound made everyone in the hall frightened, and quickly knelt down and shouted for His Majesty to calm down.

"What do you think?"

"Dare Your Majesty to appease your anger," Gan Yi went out to salute and comforted him, "This epidemic occurred in autumn and winter, and there was a southeast wind again. I have already guessed in my mind. Don't disturb your Majesty. I still have the prescriptions from the Imperial Hospital. It is urgent. One is to convene doctors from all over the country, and to send imperial physicians to the cities of northern Xinjiang to treat the people, to show God’s grace; the other is to send people to suppress those who spread rumors, so as not to lose the hearts of the people.”

The emperor asked happily: "How can the prime minister solve my worries and problems?"

"This matter was originally planned and arranged by Yushitai, and the eunuch of Dali was sent to investigate. However, he was worried about the lack of manpower, fearing that there would be swords and soldiers, and worried that the army might be large and disturb the people. I thought it might be better to hand over this matter to the Ningwu army .”

The emperor was enlightened and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.

"Prime Minister, it's a good idea! The three battalions on the left side of Ningwu are all one-in-a-million talents. They can suppress rumors without alarming the people."

Gu Xiaowu and Gan Biao looked at each other, seeing Gan Yi humbly saluting, his expression was ambiguous, and finally Gan Biao came out and said: "Your Majesty is wise, it is only recently that the treasury has been empty, so it is only a matter of time and water , it is difficult for the national treasury to spend such a huge amount.”

The Son of Heaven reassured: "You don't have to worry about the Shangshu. When the Marquis of the Marquis learned about this, he contacted many rich merchants in the royal city and donated a total of 40 taels of silver. The Marquis of the Marquis even handed over all his family property to the treasury. So, is there any money left in the treasury?"

"Yes, I will prepare immediately."

Yijing frowned deeply, his headache was about to split, he finally woke up slowly, but found that he couldn't move, and opened his eyes in a daze, only to see that Xiao Tingyu was wiping his sweat.

"Father finally woke up!"

"I...how could..." Yijing struggled to get up, Tingyu quickly put down the towel and turned to support him.

"It was Brother Changming who sent my father home. He only said that my father needed a good rest and left in a hurry. Just now he came again and said that a plague broke out in northern Xinjiang, and the emperor ordered Qu Liying to coordinate the treatment of the doctors. Common people, Lu Yichuan investigated the rumors carefully, and my father arranged for people to escort the medicine to help suppress it."

"Rumor?" Yijing asked, "What rumor?"

Xiao Tingyu looked embarrassed for a while, looking around, he was sure that no one came to disturb him, and then he said: "It is a rumor spread after the epidemic. Some soldiers in the border cold city also died of serious illness this time, so General Bai's subordinate Cheng Lei The general participated in the rebellion and fled with thousands of troops to abandon the army. He defended the lost city as evidence, and said that this was a lesson from heaven. Cheng Lei miraculously recovered from his illness, and this matter got out of hand. Moreover, the prefects of several cities in northern Xinjiang ordered the people who were infected to be isolated, so as not to harm others, which caused complaints from the people."

After thinking about it for a moment, Yijing can understand that this is nothing more than the Jiangyuan dynasty, and the people's hearts are shaken, but a few insignificant rumors have attracted all these people.

"The Lost City...why is it here..." Yijing pondered, and immediately said to Xiao Tingyu: "Go and find Chang Ming first, and then find the remaining five battalion commanders."

"Great Commander!" Chang Ming broke into the door and saw that Yijing had woken up. He obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Yijing looked a little gloomy, but he didn't have time to say anything to him, so he immediately asked, "Where is the prescription written that day?" ?”

"The lower official copied one copy, and sent the other copy to Mr. Gu." Chang Ming hurriedly took out the prescription from his arms and brought it to Yi Jing. Yi Jing glanced at it and confirmed that it was correct. He nodded to Chang Ming, He asked again: "When did the epidemic break out? When did the rumors start? Where are the rebels?"

"It's all happened yesterday. These two things have spread to the Holy Majesty's study almost within a few hours. The rebels are currently guarding the Lost City, and there are about a few thousand people."

"This matter is too weird..." Yijing glanced at his prescription and murmured in a low voice.

"Strange? Is the commander talking about rumors?"

"It's not just rumors. If you defect, the cold city borders the northern kingdom, wouldn't it be better to go all the way to the north? Why go south and choose a lost city that is not a place to store food? Besides, look here..." Yijing pointed at the prescription A medicinal herb called "Black Grass" was shown in Chang Ming, "There is a vast forest on the outskirts of Lost City, named Huangquan Forest. It just so happens that this black grass is very special, it only grows in the forest, and it is evergreen all year round. "

"It is said that the rebels cured all the people who defected, perhaps for the convenience of medicinal materials, so they chose Lost City..." Chang Ming suddenly thought of something, and looked at Yijing with a serious face in disbelief, "This... this……"

Yijing slowly collected the prescription without saying a word, at this time, the remaining five battalion commanders all rushed over.

"You guys have heard about the plague. The sage has decreed that I will go to northern Xinjiang with the third battalion from the left, five military doctors, and the sixth battalion led by Lan Mo. All matters in the army will be handed over to the commander of the eighth battalion for the time being." Deal with them, prepare separately, bring dry food and weapons, and meet Yushitai Qu Liying and Dali Temple Lu Yichuan in Wangcheng at Maoshi tomorrow."

Gan Yi has been sitting in meditation for quite some time.

Qu Liying didn't make a sound to disturb, but saw that the candlestick was burned out, and Gan Yi didn't move, so she sighed lightly, fetched a candle and continued to light it up, the originally quiet and gloomy study room was suddenly brightened, and Gan Yi seemed to be illuminated by the light. Recalling his sanity, he opened his eyes.

"This matter is too weird." Gan Yi rubbed her brows and eyes in pain.

"It's really weird," Qu Liying said with a frown, "Prince Xingzhu was born a few months ago, and now there are rumors everywhere. For us, it's a blessing or a disaster, but why is it so?"

"The truth is not only that, but what's more..."

"What?" Qu Liying stepped forward and asked.

"Su Shengyi." Gan Yi's voice was hoarse and deep, like Yama calling, the soul of a hundred ghosts.

Qu Liying still thought that she was distracted for a while, and she went back and forth in her mind to confirm what Gan Yi said, and she still asked in disbelief: "What does this mean?"

Gan Yi was silent for a long time, and then stood up slowly with the help of the armrest, her expression was sluggish, her back was weak, like a candlestick that had run out of wax and tears, and this life was over, Qu Liying couldn't help but stretched out her hand to help him walk.

"If you don't know the meaning of the truth, how can you explain it in one sentence?" Gan Yi looked back at Qu Liying, not without worry, "This time the plague was rampant, and Bai Xiangying promptly dispatched troops to assist the prefect of Huancheng to take care of the sick. The wolf and the tiger watch, there are villains and treacherous people inside, and they can only secretly monitor the movement of the lost city but dare not seize the city to eliminate the rebellion. He even deliberately let the Jinshi Chai Jinli experience it. Surrounded by tigers and wolves, there are knives and guns, you have to be very careful. I would have sent guards to follow, but I was afraid that Yijing would kill me. No matter what, you have to protect yourself. superior."

"The lower official knows, it's just that the lower official is far away, and the three legs stand together, and adults should also be careful about themselves, not to mention the rumors are really weird..."

Xing Cheng helped Lan Mo pack all the food and grass, and it was time for the Jade Rabbit to rise to the east.

Bursts of dull pain came from the elbow of his right hand, and he frowned calmly, and subconsciously used his left hand to protect him, but the last trace of warmth was blown away by the night wind, and his eyes were immediately filled with unsightly pain.

"Xing Sheng?"

A person came behind him at some point, and he came back to his senses in awe. The previous gloom was swept away, and he was replaced by the calmness of the past.

"Why is father here?" Xing Cheng hurriedly led the Marquis into the hall, turned around and lit the brazier, and fetched the cushions.

"Don't be so busy, I'll leave later." Marquis Ling Jun stopped his son who was very happy and attentive.

Xing Cheng was puzzled and said, "It's already night, why did father just come and then leave?"

"It's just because your mother and I are restless, so we came to see you." Nanrong Juncong stretched out his hand, brushed off the frost that had already solidified on Xingcheng's right shoulder, and said softly, "We know that you hate the fire in your heart." No need, but right now is the time of life and death, we must put the overall situation first..."

Xing Cheng didn't answer, but just nodded, barely moved the corner of his mouth, intending to show a smile but let Juncong see his saddest appearance.

"Father, don't worry, I care about the pros and cons..." Seeing Jun Cong's worried expression all the time, Xing Cheng had no choice but to talk about him: "It's just that this time I'm afraid that the commander of the army will be in danger. The Sifuluo family has lived in northern Xinjiang for generations, and even He has won the hearts of the people, and now he has only migrated for more than twenty years, and his reputation has not diminished. If the commander of the army has made no achievements, the brothers of the Gan family will have to gossip.

Jun cleverly understood his scruples, waved his hand to comfort him and said, "There is no solution, the only way is to get to the bridge. You don't need to worry too early, the rumors of the epidemic are too weird, I'm afraid it won't go smoothly."

Xing Sheng nodded, sighed and said: "My son and Chen Ying set off tomorrow, and I heard that my father gave away thousands of gold to support the emperor. It will be winter now, parents and mothers must take care of their bodies, and don't frostbite themselves because of poor people. .”

Jun Cong smiled gratifiedly, but did not answer, but patted him on the shoulder.

After a busy day, Yijing felt dizzy and dizzy when he got up together. He barely stood up while supporting the corner of the table with one hand, and slowly returned to the main seat to rest as a last resort.

After falling asleep in the imperial hospital that day, I woke up with a splitting headache. After a few days, my hands and feet were weak, and I only felt that my mind was chaotic and my soul and body were separated.It's not that he didn't ask Chang Ming about what happened, but the Seventh Battalion Commander insisted that it was because of his overwork in the past few days, and avoided talking about other things. in.

He stretched out his hand and pressed his sore shoulder, looking back, the sky was the waning moon, the room was dark, but the sky was azure blue, it was clearly midnight, but it seemed that the morning sun was about to break through the clouds and reborn the earth with glory.

"Squeak—" Xuanwu Pavilion door slammed softly, Yijing didn't turn his head, but asked softly, "Your Excellency hasn't rested yet, is it because of Jinshi Chai?"

"This is just one of them. The Holy Majesty also promised him to go with him. Although it is dangerous, there is a great army commander around, so you don't have to worry." The person who came took off his cloak and lit the candle. It was Gu Xiaowu's ageless face. Looking at the spiritless commander, he sighed worriedly: "The commander must take care of himself first."

Yijing smiled weakly, asked Gu Xiaowu to sit down, and comforted her not to worry.

"Northern Xinjiang epidemic, rumors spread everywhere, although Gan Yi recommended the adults, but it is necessary to be careful. Si Fuluo's family is well-known in northern Xinjiang, and Ning Wu is an elite teacher..."

Yijing thought for a while, understood the meaning, and couldn't help sighing: "If it wasn't for the reminder from the adults, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"In that case, I will leave first. The commander of the Seventh Battalion recently exchanged letters with Chai Jinli, saying that the commander of the army is not in good health. He is very worried. I hope the commander of the army will take care of himself." Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Xiaowu was already Standing up, put on the cloak again.Hearing this, Yijing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and turned to look at the starry sky again.

"Although the night sky is beautiful, the morning sun is about to rise, but it is the darkest."

Yijing nodded understandingly: "Only those who suffer in the long night will know the true meaning."

Gu Xiaowu nodded, and raised her foot to walk, Yijing suddenly asked: "Is there anything else you want to tell me, my lord?"

"The commander of the army is extremely smart, why should I be so talkative." Gu Xiaowu smiled instead, "Therefore, the commander of the army doesn't have to tell me."

Gan Yi's intuition is very accurate, because contacting the rumors, the name that comes to mind is Su Shengyi, that is the prime minister who was led by a dog in Chapter 2, this is not true love~
