Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 538 Who is making waves

Find the source of the plague.

This is a sentence from the emperor to Duguying, and it is also a secret decree.

Although due to his wisdom, Duguying is not considered outstanding among the emperor's team, and even his status in the emperor's mind is not very high, but Duguying was born in the Dugu family after all.He is not bad for the political sense he should have.

Rather than finding the source of the plague, the emperor suspected that there was another reason for the plague in Luozhou.

What made Duguying even more concerned was that the emperor would actually send him here.

In fact, Duguying always knew why the emperor rejected him.The reason lies in his origin, the Dugu clan.

The reason why he joined the emperor's team at the beginning was not recruited by the emperor himself.

He even thought that when the emperor accepted him, he just wanted to sell Dugu's family.

"But, Your Majesty, am I really useless?" Dugu Ying looked at the bonfire in front of her indifferently, and muttered to herself.

As the former king of Chu became emperor, Duguying's status in the Dugu family also rose in a straight line, catching up with Dugu Huai'en.

He also has big ambitions.

"This time, I must impress all of you."

Squeak.

Footsteps came, and a person came and sat down opposite him.

"Brother Dugu, what are you thinking?"

The person opposite is called Su Shichang, a smart guy.

"Think about what brother Su is thinking about."

"Me?" Su Shichang was taken aback, and then asked curiously: "Then brother Dugu, do you have any clues?"

"When the plague appears, it enters from the mouth. The people eat, one is water, and the other is grain. If it is water, the plague will not only appear in Luozhou. Therefore, there should be a problem with food. This year, there was a disaster in Luozhou, and Henan The same is true in many places in Dao. The imperial court transported grain for disaster relief and spread it to the entire Hedong Dao. Therefore, the problem of grain is not a problem in Guanzhong, but a problem in Luozhou. Otherwise, Luozhou would not be the only one with plague.”

Hearing this, Su Shichang smiled slightly.

"Looks like we want to go together."

Duguying continued: "Next, we just need to track down the Luozhou officials who handled the grain, so that we can find clues and find the truth."

After finishing speaking, he added: "If everything is really artificial."

Su Shichang on the opposite side looked slightly solemn, and sighed: "I hope we think too much, otherwise, this is not a good thing."

The natural disaster has severely damaged Datang. If there are still people with evil intentions inside, that is the most terrible thing.

Thinking of this, Su Shichang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.The current emperor insisted on using the savings of the Tang Dynasty for several years to fight a national war last year, which was really ahead of his time.

Otherwise, if the Turks were present at this time, the situation of Datang would be even more dangerous.

Changan.

Jingshanfang, Daxingshan Temple.

This temple has been around for some years. It was built in the second year of Taishi, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. It was originally named "Zunshan Temple", and it has been more than [-] years ago.During the Kaihuang reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, West Chang'an City was expanded to become Daxing City. Because Daxingshan Temple occupies one square of Jingshanfang, it was named "Xing" for the city and "Shan" for the square, which together became Daxingshan Temple.

This temple is also the ancestral home of Tantric Buddhism, one of the eight sects of Buddhism.

Because the first year of Zhenguan was unfavorable, Li Zhiyun also had to follow the procedure, worship the golden Buddha, and give an explanation to the courtiers.

In fact, he himself didn't really believe in this thing, not to mention that not long ago Fu Yi was vigorously carrying out his suppression of Buddhism.

Standing on the pagoda of Daxingshan Temple, he squinted at Chang'an Fenghua.

The atmosphere of Tianhua, the treasure of Tang Dynasty in later generations, is not at all now. At a glance, there are only dense houses and buildings.

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial from Luozhou." Gao Liangzhong bowed and presented an urgent report.

Li Zhiyun took it, opened it, and read it.

"It seems that Zhen Liyan and the others are helpless."

Pinching the letter with slender fingers, Li Zhiyun's face was slightly solemn.If the plague cannot be solved by medical means, it can only be suppressed by physical means.However, choosing the latter will undoubtedly cost a lot.

"Li Zhen."

"The minister is here."

"I'll give you ten days to find Sun Simiao's whereabouts."

"I obey my orders!"

Although Sun Simiao's whereabouts were erratic, Li Zhiyun has also grasped some of his movements after years of investigation.

Finding him is not difficult.

It is not difficult for him to make a move.

The difficult thing is, I don't know if Sun Simiao has the ability to solve the plague.

"Hope, you don't let me down."

After leaving Daxingshan Temple, Li Zhiyun returned to the palace.

There are still many government affairs waiting for him.

Pei House.

"My lord, rest." Pei Xuanji looked at his father and persuaded him again.

Hearing this, Pei Ju's lips trembled, and his hands shook accordingly.

"Do not talk."

Forcibly supporting his dying body, Pei Ju finished writing the memorial, and then leaned against the table, panting heavily.

He could feel his life passing by.

Not because of disease, not because of pain, but because of old age.

Aging, a hurdle that can never be overcome, befalls Pei Ju.

Pei Xuanji packed up the memorial and sat down next to his old father.

"My lord, I don't understand why you still insist on staying. If you are willing to return to Wenxi, maybe"

"Maybe I can still survive?" Pei Ju interrupted him, and immediately sneered, "Don't be stupid, my child, because the father knows the situation himself. This body has reached its limit. Even if I leave the court now, I will hear that If you like cultivation, it won't last long, at most you can live until next year, or you will die."

"Do you know why I don't want to leave?" He asked suddenly.

"do not know."

Pei Ju snorted, his old face covered his gray eyes.

Ganlu Temple.

"It's this again." After reading the memorial, Li Zhiyun gently put it aside.

Clenched into fists, knuckles turned white.

After many years of cultivating his health, he is now able to keep his emotions and anger from showing.However, when you are angry, you still need to do some body language to let your anger vent.

"Gao Liangzhong."

"The servant is here."

Li Zhiyun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me, is there really someone who hates your own people?"

Gao Liangzhong felt sad inwardly, how could a servant like him be able to answer this kind of question, didn't he ask for his own life.

"The servant is stupid, I don't know."

"Heh." Li Zhiyun didn't embarrass a servant either.

Open the next book of memorials, the content is not much different from the previous one, and it is still the text of the impeachment of Luozhou governor Shi Cen.

He tapped the case table lightly with his fingers, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Can't hide the fox's tail?

Originally he was just skeptical, but now he can be sure.

However, to catch big fish, now is not the time to close the net.Patience is the most important thing. As long as the bait is there, you are not afraid that the big fish will not take the bait.

"Don't read it." Li Zhiyun threw away the memorial, got up and said, "Let's go out of the palace to relax."

Gao Liangzhong was stunned, didn't he just come back from Daxingshan Temple.

"Your Majesty, you can't go." He persuaded tactfully, "Didn't you say that you will go to Changle Hall to accompany the empress tonight?"

Uh.
"That's right, forget it, let's go to Changle Palace."

After speaking, Li Zhiyun lifted his foot and left, Gao Liangzhong hurriedly followed.

He didn't even read the rest of the memorials, but he knew what they were all about.In order not to get angry, he decided to ignore it for the time being.

As long as I don't see it, it doesn't exist.

When I see it, I have to have it if I don’t have it, or I have to have it if I’m not!
This time, he has to take a closer look to find out which monsters and monsters are making trouble in the dark.
