Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Western Plague

Just when the ministers were still worrying about how Northern Zhou would react to the murder of the princess, and how Yan Xi's case would go, something happened in the western border.

However, this time, Fu Zhuo received the news before Lin Rongchen, and it was Yu Shi who he placed in Yansai to monitor the county guard who delivered the news for him.So the secret report arrived one night earlier than Lin Rongchen.

According to the secret report, a plague broke out in the three counties in the western border, and it was coming fiercely.It is preliminarily estimated that thousands of people and soldiers have been infected, and the plague is still expanding.

Everyone knows that the plague is a contagious disease, and a single spark can start a prairie fire. If left unchecked, the entire Western Territory may fall.Although no one has died from the disease so far, it still cannot be underestimated.

Fu Zhuo stayed up all night and secretly summoned all his confidants in Beijing to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone conspired in the Grand Master's Mansion all night, and finally agreed that the matter has come to an end, and if it continues, it will only lead to long nights and more dreams, and extra problems will arise.Fu Zhuo pondered for a long time, and finally decided to raise his troops immediately!After making this decision, he wrote a secret letter to He Lianjin who was far away in Hanguan, and sent it out.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Rongchen received a memorial from the county magistrate and asked the officials how to solve it.

Fu Zhuo was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, the plague is a serious matter. Naturally, it needs to be treated with all our strength! Please also send imperial doctors and medicinal materials to the western region immediately. It is best to recruit doctors who can rejuvenate from the people to go with you!"

Lin Rongchen nodded, "This matter is according to what the grand master said. Pass the order, and only three people will be left in the grand hospital, and the rest will go to the western region to help the local people!"

Fu Zhuo said again: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. The old minister is willing to go in person to appease the people and soldiers!"

"This..." Lin Rongchen was in a dilemma, "It's a long way to the west, and I can't bear the grand master running all the way."

"Your Majesty, the old minister was born as Yunchu's man, and died as Yunchu's ghost. He is willing to devote himself to Yunchu. Why is he afraid of running around?"

"...So, please trouble the Grand Master!" Lin Rongchen should be reluctant.

Fu Zhuo knew he would agree.Lin Rongchen had no one to send him, although he didn't want to let him go, but there was nothing he could do.

Who would have thought that Li Qiuyun would quit, "Your Majesty, the Northern Zhou matter has not been resolved, how can we let the Grand Master leave the capital?"

This is not enough for success, but more than failure!It was the first time Lin Rongchen saw him being so obtrusive, and thought that if Li Qiuyun messed up the matter, he would have to kill him.Before he opened his mouth to stop him, Li Boling also echoed, "Your Majesty, Master Li is right. I am ordered by the three divisions to interrogate, and Master Yan has not explained clearly. I am afraid that it is not appropriate for the Grand Master to leave the capital..."

Lin Rongchen raised his eyebrows, "Why, you two mean that you believe in those rumors in the streets and alleys, and also think that this matter has something to do with the Grand Master?"

Li Qiuyun said: "There is nothing wrong with it, and Mr. Yan has admitted it..."

Lin Rongchen sneered, "It's such an empty hole. How long has it been since I asked you to try this case? There is no progress at all. If you only listen to hearsay, you don't need to be an officer!"

Li Qiuyun felt bitter.It was obviously Lin Rongchen who insisted on sending someone to Mingzhou, and said that he would carefully investigate the location where the incident happened, to see if he could get some clues.What clues can there be in the wilderness?He didn't find anything and didn't say anything, and it took so long to go back and forth. At the beginning, he felt that Lin Rongchen was just trying to delay time.Now he uses this as an excuse to blame him for his failure in handling the case.I don't know if he committed Mercury retrograde this month.

For an emperor, it’s okay to sit in on the trial every now and then, and every time he speaks more seriously, He Shuyue winks at him, and finally even Li Boling can see that the emperor just wants to protect Yan Xi!But Yan Xi is stubborn, and he is unwilling to retract his confession, what can he do?

Just as Lin Rongchen got angry here, Fu Zhuo was in trouble again.

Fu Zhuo has been the Grand Master for so long, except for Xiang Jiayan who will fight against him, no one has ever dared to go against him so blatantly.No matter which dynasty it is in, treason is a serious crime against the nine clans. Without sufficient evidence, who would dare to slander others like this?

"Li Qiuyun, do you know that treason is a crime of great treason! You have not found any evidence yet, and you framed the old man as innocent? The old man has been upright all his life, and he is ashamed of the sky, and he is not ashamed of the ground. You use such a vicious crime to slander me, is it true? Why do you care?"

Lin Rongchen frowned, he really dared to say it!

"Okay, Grand Master! I believe Master Li is out of concern for the case, and didn't intend to frame you. I know that you have a loyal heart, but it's clear to the world, why do you have a grudge against you because of these nonsense? You are in charge of all matters, and the disaster must be brought under control! I am waiting for your good news in the capital!" Lin Rongchen comforted him, and discussed with the ministers how to compensate Bei Zhou, and finally, Feng Lanshan, the Qin Tianjian, was left behind.

The sky has been stable recently, but everything is not going well for Yunchu.

First, the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was killed, then it was reported in the palace that Concubine Xi died of illness, and now there is a plague in the western region. Feng Lanshan wondered if Lin Rongchen wanted to ask him for his crime?When everything was peaceful, he only went to scare people, but now something really happened, but he didn't notice it.Just about to make an apology first, Lin Rongchen said: "Feng Aiqing, I'm afraid I need to trouble you to go to Yulin Temple, just to say...the Empress Dowager has to continue to worship Buddha for one month."

At most another month, everything will be changed, before that, just hide it if you can!After all, the Empress Dowager was in her seventies, and Lin Rongchen really couldn't bear to let her be frightened even at her age.

Feng Lanshan nodded, "This minister understands what the emperor means, so let's go to Yulin Temple!"

When Feng Lanshan left the Mingde Hall, King Jing entered the hall again.

"Why did the emperor go and come back?"

In fact, Lin Ronghan never left, just waiting outside the hall for Feng Lanshan to leave, after hearing about the plague, he was always worried, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and see with the Grand Master?"

At this troubled time, he always felt that something would happen if he let Fu Zhuo go to the western region.

Lin Rongchen smiled.As expected of a brother, Lin Ronghan seemed to be able to sense whatever he was thinking, "Brother Huang, what are you worried about, you might as well just say it."

Now that the two are brothers, there is nothing to hide or taboo, "Since Fu Zhuo and Huang Jingchun broke up, I guess he has already started the idea of ​​raising troops, and with the events of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Territory, how could he know After this trip, what will be your status when you come back?"

Lin Rongchen said in relief: "You don't have to worry too much, brother. Even if he wants to rebel, he has to wait until the plague is cured. We still have time."

"That's the way it is...in the end, it's the common people who will suffer." King Jing sighed, "Why is there such a coincidence that the western region has a plague again? It's really a leaky house and it rains all night!"

"It's not sudden."

King Jing didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. What does it mean that it was not sudden?Is it still planned for a long time?The thought flashed through his mind.Lin Ronghan shuddered, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Lin Rongchen. In order to get rid of Fu Zhuo, didn't he even care about the people?

"It's not a plague in the western region." Lin Rongchen seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and explained, "It's just an ordinary infectious disease. It can heal itself after lying down for half a month at most. It can't kill anyone."

"..." King Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "Is this the emperor's idea?"

Lin Rongchen nodded, "The medicine was made by Li Bing, and the disease was spread to Jiayan."

Xiang Jiayan... So, it was years ago.

Lin Rongchen said: "A plague broke out in Fu Zhuo's territory. Who do you think he will save first? Where should he start? As long as he makes a move, I will know where his troops are. At that time, Ji Beicheng will lead The soldiers were waiting for the sick in the southwest, and they caught him by surprise. When Fu Zhuo panicked, he would definitely send He Lianjin to the northwest to meet up. I just happened to be able to catch the turtle in the urn."

King Jing was shocked, "So, He Lianjin has betrayed Fu Zhuo? Is the death of Princess Bei Zhou also related to him?"

"Brother Huang's guess is right. I originally wanted to use the matter of Princess Bei Zhou to force him to rebel, but I didn't expect Yan Xi to follow. With the distribution of his troops, I can catch him by surprise!" When Lin Rongchen talked about these strategies, his expression was radiant, as if he had no fear even if the opponent was a fierce tiger, and he was even full of confidence to compete with it.

Lin Ronghan finally laughed, "Your Majesty has been extremely smart and intelligent since he was a child. Fu Zhuo will probably cry when he knows all this in the future."

Before leaving, Grand Master Fu, who was tricked, kept Wei Shao behind and told him to keep an eye on Yan Xi, and when his order came, he would rob people and send them to Yandan in exchange for reinforcements.

This time, if you don't succeed, you will be successful.

On the second day after Fu Zhuo left, Yaohua Palace caught fire. The fire burned for a day and a night, and the whole palace was burned.

Yan Xi heard about this in prison, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene of Huang Wan's death, and the child in her stomach who left with her.

After all, she was the third concubine to die in this harem.Of course, this "three" also includes himself.

A few days ago, Zhao Xun told him that Concubine Xi died of illness, and he felt very sad in his heart. Although those days seemed to be forced and helpless, who knew that he was actually looking forward to tomorrow every day, always thinking about Time goes by slower, slower.The time the two spent together day and night was so beautiful, which made Yan Xi nostalgic and regretful.If possible, he really wanted to stay in the palace and by his side for the rest of his life.

Although Fu Zhuo is gone now, the case will not be shelved.

Yan Xi knew that Bei Zhou would take some action, but he never expected that Bei Zhou's action was different from what he and Lin Rongchen expected.

Under normal circumstances, who would bring so many soldiers and horses with a pretentious threat?Unexpectedly, this time, Bei Zhou did just that.

In the 20-mile urgent memorial from Hanguan, He Lianjin wrote in his own handwriting: [-] soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, go to Hanguan!

20!This is by no means the number of people that Lin Rongchen had agreed with the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!

The emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty probably wanted to make a fake show.

The author has something to say: a little late.I wanted to make it thicker and longer, but the time has come.
