Lang Jun is coming

The household department is now under the jurisdiction of the third division, so it is natural to follow Pei Lian.

Silver, food, and dams all have solutions.All that remains is to send someone to investigate the problem in Ningzhou.

Before waiting for the next official to speak, the official said hello in advance, "Pei Lian will be exempted, and the new system still needs to be discussed and perfected."

Others are not surprised to hear it.This person is the leader of the new system. Now that the system reform has just started, the officials will definitely not let him leave the capital easily.

Then there are not many left.

Meng Ruanqing bowed his head and recommended himself, "I am willing to go."

There was silence in the Nuan Pavilion, the officials didn't say yes or no, they hesitated for a long time rubbing the jade wrench on their thumbs, but they still couldn't come to a conclusion.

It wasn't until evening that the official was still thinking about Ningzhou while sitting on the bed, so he boldly asked, "During the day, Deputy Envoy Meng recommended himself, why should the official not?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Meng Ruanqing is the most suitable person at the moment.The main reason is that he is a new party member, and his official qualifications are not too shallow.

"It's not that I shouldn't, I just think there are better ones."

The official beckoned, and Xiao Liu'er brought a cup of tea with great insight and handed it over.

Who is the better one, the official did not say clearly.But you can make a guess.

Taking a sip of warm tea into his throat temporarily relieved his fatigue.Since he took the throne, he has been dealing with accumulated state affairs until late every day.During this period of time, the border, the court and the place were not at peace, and it was a long night before going to Changchao.Xiao Liu'er felt distressed when he saw it.

Ningzhou was the old capital of the Heng Dynasty, and its power lingering is no small matter.Careful selection should be made.

Inside the cloud gauze tent, the official rubbed his left chest and muttered to himself, "Recently I feel out of breath, and often have severe tinnitus."

The door creaked, and it was Xiao Huangmen who brought water for washing feet.Xiao Liu'er took the basin and put it on the footrest, squatted down and soaked the feet that often stood on high places in warm water and scrubbed them.

"The official first soaked the feet in warm water to relieve the pain, and the villain sent someone to invite the imperial physician."

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the feet seem to be much better after soaking in warm water. The official also calmed down and said: "No need. I know that this is a heart disease, not a cure."

Then he thought to himself, "Vice Envoy Chen has been away from Beijing for about half a month."

When I think of Chen Juncong at this time, it is probably related to Ningzhou.Xiao Liu'er heard what he heard but didn't take it to heart, so he sent someone to remove the washing things.

It's already the beginning of summer, Xu Xiaohuangmen, who was in charge of tidying up, replaced the soft gold silk pillow with a hard pillow with white porcelain arowana and algae patterns that can cool off the heat.I don't want Miyagi tossing up and down for a long time because of such a normal object.

Xiao Liuer stood guard outside the door and was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of broken porcelain.I lit a candle in the dark, only to see the incense burner of Shuanglongxizhu lying on the ground, and the incense ash sprinkled with unburned incense foam.And the official's half body was already bent over the pedals, his hair was disheveled, and his expression was extremely painful.

"What's wrong with the officials?"

After so many years in the job, it was the first time he encountered such a horrifying scene. Xiao Liu'er hastily stepped forward, took the back of a soft pillow and helped him sit up.

"Zhen..." The official's forehead was full of cold sweat, his face was pale, he clenched his fists and hit his head uncontrollably, and it took a long time for him to utter a few words from between his teeth, "Zhen... I have a splitting headache..."

Naturally, there was a rush.

When it was almost time to Mao, the imperial physician knelt down beside the pedals and took away his pulse-taking hand.

"The official's pulse is weaker than that of ordinary people, which is a headache caused by fatigue. Porcelain pillows are softer than pillows and cold, and ordinary people are objects to cool off the heat. Under the official's fatigue, the cold air enters the body, so naturally the headache is unbearable."

After speaking, he prescribed a prescription and ordered people to go to decoct the medicine.

The medicinal materials are all warming and tonic, but the taste of good medicine is not bad at all.The officials are only in their thirties, and they are in their prime.If it wasn't for the many national affairs that dragged down the body, and the fact that he was born with a weaker body, he wouldn't have suffered this torment.

Seeing that the bowl of medicine was almost finished, the imperial physician was slightly relieved and said, "The official family will definitely not suffer from the cold in the future. Otherwise, even drinking tonics will not help."

When he confessed, Xiao Liu'er had asked people to replace the porcelain pillow with a soft pillow, and cleaned up the broken incense burner on the ground and replaced it with a small Boshan stove that looked like a crouching deer.

After drinking the concoction, the body became hot and sweated, and the pain eased a little. The official regained his sanity, and just about to give some instructions, he heard a rush of communication.

"Officials, Yuguan is not good!"

The imperial doctor, who had not had time to step back in the future, trembled, and immediately knelt on the ground and bent down to reduce his presence.

It was rare for Xiao Liu'er to speak harshly, "Which one chose? All talking nonsense outside!"

It wasn't a small yellow gate that was brought in, but its clothes were bamboo green official uniforms.Just now he lost his manners in a panic, and now he entered the bedroom, even though he couldn't see the official's face through the plain screen, looking at the imperial physician kneeling next to him and smelling the smell of medicine that couldn't be concealed by the spices in the hall, the little official felt Reckless rushed to Sheng'an, then knelt down and begged for mercy.

"What did you just say?" The official asked as if he hadn't heard the sound of begging for mercy, and only grasped the words he said outside the door.

This person was an eighth-rank official under the Taichang Temple, and he was supposed to accompany Zhu He and Liang Dousi to escort the food and grass.Hearing the official's question, he trembled like a sieve and said: "Lord Liang and Master Zhu were attacked on the way to escort the grain and grass, so I asked the minister to come forward and report that there has been a large group of people infiltrating near the border of Yuguan..."

Speaking of the latter part, a seven-foot boy burst into tears and choked up.

"The two adults are both... both died of serious injuries..."

The huge dormitory was extremely quiet, and the crying and howling made people feel inexplicably panicked.Xiao Liu'er silently turned back to look at the official's house, but saw him holding the medicine bowl in a daze, and after a while he asked in a low voice, "Where's Yuguan?"

As soon as he made a sound, it seemed that all his sanity had returned.Regardless of the headache, the official took off the brocade quilt, pushed down the plain gauze screen with one hand, and the bloodshot eyes in the lowered head almost made the little official incontinent in fright.

"Tell me, how is Yuguan?!"

"Em, elm... elm pass..."

The little official turned his head to face each other, and encountered such a big battle again, his whole body was shaking violently, his two parts were fighting, and he stammered out a sentence that was still complete.

"Yuguan... has fallen..."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Liu'er felt a "thump" in his heart.

The man in the hall was dressed in crimson red, with disheveled hair, his face was dull and bloodless, his figure swayed slightly, and he whispered like a bewildered man.

"How...how did Yuguan fall..."

He stepped on the carpet with both feet, Xiao Liu'er supported Guanjia's crumbling body, and said cautiously: "Guanjia put on shoes and socks first, it won't be good when the cold air enters the body later."

However, the other party was still whispering.Just when everyone thought it would be good to appease them, they heard the official suddenly opened his eyes angrily and growled in grief.

"You're talking nonsense—"

After speaking, he felt fishy and sweet in his throat, and he vomited blood out of nowhere.

Everyone in the hall looked terrified, Xiao Liu'er hurriedly followed his breath, and the imperial doctor walked closer to him to check his pulse.The little official was the closest, and his face was covered with blood vomited by the official's family, and he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

Crimson Red Luo Zhongdan's chest was dotted with dark red.The filth in the official's mouth was just the medicine that was just drunk at first, but later it turned into blood.

The dawn broke outside the window, gradually illuminating the messy room.The forbidden door in the palace was closed tightly as usual, and the officials who came to Changchao could not hear the drums beating three times in Qiaolou.

It was not until the evening that the imperial edict came out from the palace.

The officials wanted Pei Lian and Song Yiqing to meet in the palace.

After falling into a coma all day, I finally woke up with difficulty. When I opened my eyes, I saw the flickering candlelight, and my hands and feet were even weaker.The official was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the bed sheet tightly and tried to struggle to sit up.

"Xiao Liuer... draws up an imperial edict..."

After many days of hard work, he became ill. Shocked by the Yuguan incident, he became furious.In just one day, his expression and face seemed to have aged ten years.

"The official will lie down first, and the villain will prepare paper and pen."

Xiao Liu'er put the medicine on the table, and didn't dare to waste a moment to prepare the pen and ink on the desk.

Although the official was bedridden due to illness, his thoughts were clear, and he repeated word by word: "Send people to Shunchang, and order Chen Juncong, the deputy envoy of the third division, to leave immediately to investigate the flood in Ningzhou."

After finishing speaking, he asked out of breath, "Are the two of them here?"

After writing the edict and paying the money, he sent someone to send it out quickly, Xiao Liu'er responded, "I'm already waiting outside."

Pei Lian and Song Yiqing were waiting anxiously when the door of the bedroom finally opened.Followed Xiao Liu'er in, only to see the situation inside with his own eyes.

After saluting, the official saved the detours and ordered someone to take the imperial sword hanging on the inner wall of Wende Hall, and said straightly: "Just tonight, go to Pingyang Pass to investigate the fall of Yuguan and the cause of death of Liang Dousi, Zhu He and others. .I give you Yujian, you can cut first and play later.”

Yuguan has always been the place where the heavy troops of the Heng Dynasty were stationed, and there has never been a mistake for more than two hundred years.No matter how powerful the Daxing cavalry is, they will not fall in such a short time, which is very strange and intriguing.After Yuguan fell, Zhou Rong led the defenders to retreat to Pingyangguan.

According to the petty official, the border has been infiltrated by the big business, so going there at this time must be with your wealth and life hanging on your belt.But the fall of Yuguan was serious, and even if the new system was not yet in place, the officials had to let the two go.At the very least, Meng Ruanqing, the deputy envoy of the third department, is still in the capital.
