Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 683 Undercurrent surges, court dispute

"When I found out, Mr. Shen and the others were already in the official post, and they were sick."

In this way, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only send them to an isolated area. No one could be an exception in the face of the plague.

Su Rao was lost in thought.

She didn't expect Shen Zhibai and others to be trapped in this place after they left and returned. She could only ask them when they were better.

"Then how did the lady and son get infected?"

She glanced at it just now in the confusion, the area is not prosperous, even a bit shabby, and it is completely in two directions from the government office, etc. Logically speaking, a woman who stays at home and a young man has no chance of being infected. , otherwise this area should also be blocked.

Zhang Wu's expression was complicated, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Your voice is kind, since the snowstorm in Jizhou, refugees often come here, she set up a porridge shed in the city, and every half a month, she will take Xiaogu with her Donate porridge, let him also see the hardships of people's livelihood by the way, save benevolence and do good deeds."

It is this kindness that keeps them behind bars.

When he found out that the epidemic broke out in that area, he almost went crazy, and had no choice but to have someone block them in together.

"The two taught the young master very well."

"I am ashamed of their mother and son."

After these words were finished, the two were silent at the same time, Su Rao said: "It will take some time for the imperial court to respond after receiving the news. Before that, Huacheng has to rely on us."

"Master Su is so confident?"

First of all, in front of so many people, it is not easy to shake the morale of the army, and there will be only three of them left, Zhang Wu still couldn't hold back this question.

Su Rao remained calm as always, "Of course."

"Why?"

Zhang Wu thought that he would hear some impassioned words of praise for the court, but Su Rao pursed her lips, smiled faintly, and said, "I am here, they are here, the court will not ignore it."

Now Zhang Wu was even more confused.

Xun Zeli next to him smiled at the right time: "My lord, you mean that we are the family's treasures, and even for the sake of our own family's incense inheritance, they will try their best to deal with the court."

"Forgot to introduce myself."

"My surname is Xun. My father is Xun Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and my uncle is the transfer envoy of the imperial court. The people in the backyard include Wei Ying, the younger brother of General Hussar's family, Shen Yuan, the youngest son of General Shen's family, and Zou Rong, the eldest son of Zou Shilang's family... ... are all direct descendants of the family."

The family will not abandon them.

Xun Zeli simply spoke clearly, "There is also the one in front of you, the prince of the East Palace was saved by her, the eldest princess and the Marquis of Jingyang treated her very well, and the prince Yan is her fiance... They are all closely related to her.”

"Yan Shizi? Phoenix King Star's Yan Shizi?"

Now Zhang Wu was really startled, as if he didn't hear the words behind.

These news had already spread to Hwaseong, anyone who asked would know, but it happened that Zhang Wu didn't like to inquire about these things, so when he first heard about it, he was shocked.

"That's right, Master Zhang can feel at ease now?"

Xun Zeli was proud but also somewhat jealous. Their generation had lived under Yan's Heqing's shadow since childhood. No matter whether this person was present or not, they could easily steal all the limelight.

It's really powerless and helpless.

There was a smile on Zhang Wu's face: "Don't worry, I believe that with all of you here, Huacheng will be able to keep it."

This group of second-generation ancestors made him look more pleasing than ever.

"In that case, let's discuss the next thing."

Su Rao said.

This time Zhang Wu looked at her with a different look, and there was no objection, everything went smoothly.

The most chaotic night in Hwaseong.

The two people outside the city also panicked when they saw the fireworks exploding. After a short period of anxiety, one of them immediately made up his mind, "Go to the nearest city with the badge of punishment and ask for help."

"how about you?"

"I'll report back to Beijing."

The man looked in the direction of the capital: "It's hard to say exactly what happened in Huacheng, but judging by the posture, it must be a major event and must be reported to Shengjing."

The two quickly separated and left each other.

At the same time, the gate of Hwaseong city was opened, and a person with a letter box on his back, rode a fast horse, and rushed to Shengjing with the news of the outbreak of plague in Hwaseong at a speed of [-] miles.

A few people set off on foot and back, and arrived almost on foot.

The officers and men of the Division of Prosecutions directly declared their identities and entered Yuanzheng Palace. When they saw the figure sitting upright on it, they crouched on the ground and said anxiously: "My lord, something happened in Huacheng."

With a 'click' sound, the cup cracked.

Yan Yun didn't have time to ask carefully, Zhu Yan came quickly from outside with a solemn expression, "Young master, the urgent report from Huacheng [-] miles has already entered the palace."

As soon as these words came out, the person who came to report the letter and Yan Yun were stunned at the same time.

In a flash, Yan Yun made a decision, stood up abruptly, "Enter the palace."

The news of the outbreak of the plague in Hwaseong swept across the city not long after, and people were panicked for a while. Several other families, including the Xun family, were busy inquiring about the news, feeling anxious.

Compared with them, the imperial court is very quiet.

It was quiet and there was no movement, Xun Qi sent people to watch the palace, and saw that his heart was mostly cold, he found his confidant and told him: "Go and invite General Shen and General Wei to come over, as well as those from the Zou family and the Xie family. , from the Li family... Hurry up, something big will happen if you go late."

The East Palace is also exactly the same as the Xun family.

The Crown Princess summoned a maidservant, handed her a food box, and said softly: "His Royal Highness is serving sick in the Qianqiu Palace, and the news is blocked. You must tell him the news about Huacheng, so that he can make a decision early."

The eldest princess mansion got the news.

The eldest princess was restless, "No, go to the car, and we will also go into the palace to have a look, it's not good to just sit and wait."

"Yes."

The old mother took two steps, and then asked behind her, "By the way, where is Xiao Nan?"

"At this time, we should be in Qianqiu Palace with Master Qingdeng."

"That's good."

The eldest princess didn't want him to worry, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Send someone to Xi Daying to retrieve Lord Hou, and ask him to go to the court to use his strength. Ah Rao is still in Huacheng..."

"The old slave complies."

There was an undercurrent, and all the aristocratic houses in Shengjing were secretly acting.

There are those who are running around for it, and there are some who do bad things, such as the imperial censor, the Song family, the Fu family, and other aristocratic families who heard the news and entered the palace, citing classics and classics to count the harm.

The neutral families know that the two sides are playing a game, and no one dares to take the lead, so they shrink their heads and pretend to be quail.

There was a lot of quarrel in the court.

Headed by Otsuka Zai Lu Chuqing, he resolutely opposed the re-opening of Hwaseong, "What a miserable situation that year, many people present have experienced it, how much manpower and material resources the court has spent, but in the end it was nothing but a bamboo basket. There is no solution, once it spills out, it will soon spread to Kyoto."

"At that time, it will not be the life and death of a few people. Do we have to follow the decision made a few years ago and lose most of the imperial city?"

"Jizhou and Qiuzhou have just experienced natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is the time when everything is waiting for prosperity. The imperial treasury is empty and cannot support such a large consumption. Please think again, Your Majesty."

"The Shehuacheng family can protect the world, which is more important, Your Majesty should think carefully."
