Chapter 540 Shocking the Court【[-]】

The main hall of the Vientiane Shrine was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

A book written in the blood of all peoples? !

Sent by the governor of Hebei Province?
Are you still asking for credit for "the great hero Su Xian"?
The Queen and all the ministers all turned to look at the entrance of the hall, with different expressions on their faces.

Soon, a eunuch rushed into the palace holding a huge scroll. When he saw the queen and everyone looking at him, the eunuch's heart trembled, and his hands trembled and he almost dropped the huge scroll on the ground.

"What did you just say?" The queen stared at the scroll in the eunuch's hand. From a distance, it seemed to be made of silk with red spots on it.

"Your Majesty, Hebei Province has submitted a blood letter from thousands of people to ask for credit for the great hero Su Xian!" The eunuch reacted, raised the scroll with both hands, and walked quickly into the depths of the hall.

"..."

The eyes of all the ministers followed the scroll in the hands of the eunuch, some were shocked, some were surprised, and some looked gloomy.

A slight curve slowly appeared at the corner of Qiu Dianjun's mouth.

The queen quickly walked down from the throne, with a very solemn expression, and greeted the eunuch in person. She took the scroll and touched it. It was indeed made of silk, and the red spots on it were blood-red handprints.

"It's really a book written in the blood of all peoples!"

The Queen was extremely shocked. It was the first time in more than ten years since she ascended the throne that she had received a letter of blood from local states and counties, which was of great significance.

Nangong Wan'erlian stepped forward, holding one end of the scroll, and together with the Queen, slowly unfolded the blood book of all peoples... and finally got a huge blood book that was three feet long and three feet wide.

There are words written in cinnabar on it, describing Su Xian's great achievements in the disaster area of ​​Hebei Province. The handwriting is sonorous and powerful, and the inscription is the name of the governor of Bozhou.

Behind this text, there are all kinds of names and handprints. The names are written in cinnabar, and the handprints are all stained with dark red blood. After drying, they turn black, and a slightly fishy smell hits the face.

The Queen looked at them one by one, her face was not only shocked, but also a little unbelievable. What Su Xian did in Hebei Province was really unbelievable and unbelievable!

The ministers followed the queen and read the blood book from beginning to end. Their expressions were different and they had countless thoughts in their hearts.

After a while, everyone finished reading this long blood letter.

The Queen returned to the dragon chair and sat down. The look of shock on her face remained, and she murmured: "There really was no plague in Hebei Province! Su Xian really saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people!"

Qiu Dianjun submitted a memorial at the right time, saying:
"Your Majesty, the princess has recorded in detail the situation in the disaster-stricken areas of Hebei Province and the methods proposed by Su to prevent the plague in this memorial. Your Majesty is invited to read it."

"Oh? Submit it quickly." The empress straightened her sitting posture, took the memorial from Nangong Wan'er, and read it in front of the officials.

"..."

There was silence in the hall again.

Qiu Dianjun breathed a long sigh of relief and said to himself: "Your Highness, I have not met your expectations. Half of the journey to the capital has been completed..."

Liu Shizhong had been staring at the three-foot-long blood letter, and the shock in his heart had not subsided for a long time. At this point, he had to believe that Su Xian was indeed a meritorious official and hero of Daliang.

Even he, a neutral faction in the court, wanted to win over such a rare genius. In his opinion, Su Xian should not be involved in the party dispute between Princess Lanling and the prince.

How great it would be to be by his side!
But... he finally shook his head and wanted to snatch someone away from Princess Lanling. He thought he couldn't do it yet because he didn't have the ability.

Shao Sikou was in a daze from time to time while looking at the three-foot-long blood book. Although he had known for a long time that Su Xian was very powerful and could often bring surprises to people, he never expected that this surprise was actually a bit terrifying.

Single-handedly saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, the population and taxes involved are huge...

Qian Zhongshu was still dumbfounded, staring at the blood book for a long time without regaining consciousness. The blood book of all people, the blood book of all people, there was no plague in Hebei Province!

Moreover, the reason why there was no outbreak of plague was precisely because of Su Xian’s prevention!

Qian Zhongshu was confused and fell into deep self-doubt. He still felt that this was impossible, but the blood letter of all people was right in front of him.

Compared to Qian Zhongshu, who was dumbfounded, the deposed envoys of Henan Province, Hedong Province and Duji Province were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, their hearts beat like drums, and they hid aside with their necks hunched, for fear that others would discover their existence.

Among them, the deposed envoys of Henan Province and Hedong Province were the most embarrassed. If it were not covered by their wide robes, the secret of their trembling legs would not be hidden.

Thinking back to just now, they vowed to "expose" Su Xian in various ways in the main hall, wanting to deprive him of his official status, demote him to a commoner, and even want to put him in jail...

But who would have thought that the situation would turn around so quickly.

Su Xian's method of preventing the plague not only failed, but achieved great success.

Saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people at one time.

In contrast, the plague was rampant in Henan Province, Hedong Province, and Duji Province, causing heavy casualties. It became a perfect negative comparison and also highlighted their incompetence!

They feel scared from the bottom of their hearts...

After a while, the queen read the memorial written by Princess Lanling.

She took the case directly and praised loudly:
"Good! Very good, Su Xian is fine, and so is my daughter! Not only has there been no plague outbreak in Hebei Province, the imperial doctor can even cure the plague under Su Xian's guidance."

"Young Niang has sent troops to the disaster area in Henan Province. I believe that the plague in Henan Province will be under control soon and the casualties of the people will be minimized!"

"..."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!" All the ministers congratulated together.

The Queen smiled and nodded. Just when she was about to say something, Qian Zhongshu suddenly came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I still find it hard to believe..."

After Qian Zhongshu's death, Henan Dao and Hedong Dao, who bowed their heads and pretended not to exist, deposed their envoys. Seeing this, their expressions changed drastically, and they shouted in their hearts:
"Qian Zhongshu, Qian Zhongshu, can you keep a low profile? If you continue to mess around, we may all suffer a big disaster!"

However, Qian Zhongshu was in front of the two of them and couldn't see their faces at all. He just said: "I would like to send someone to Hebei Road for a detailed investigation!"

The Queen looked slightly displeased, pointed to the blood book of all peoples on the main hall and said: "Here is the blood book of all peoples!"

Then he picked up the memorandum written by Princess Lanling from the dragon case and said: "I believe in your mother's character. It is impossible for her to deceive me or the entire court on this matter!"

Qian Zhongshu was really unwilling and wanted to say something. At this moment, Qiu Dianjun suddenly stood up, glanced coldly at the deposed envoys of Henan Road and Hedong Road who were hiding behind, and asked :
"Speaking of this, I almost forgot that the princess had already sent a copy of the method to prevent the plague to Henan Road and Hedong Road. Why are the plague still rampant in Henan Road and Hedong Road?"

"..."
