Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 133

Shui Mohan sneered and said: "Calm your anger?! If the crown prince doesn't calm your anger, all of your heads are now hanging on the towers of Qingyuan County! How courageous! Who gave you the right to live and die with tens of thousands of people in the entire county? Ignore it?" Someone said: "His Royal Highness forgives the crime, and the ministers are forced to do so. The situation is urgent at that time. If the county is not sealed off, if the epidemic spreads all over the south of the Yangtze River, then... the country may be shaken." After falling, several voices echoed immediately: "What Master Liang said is very true." It turned out that the person was Liang Tong, Governor of Zhejiang.After everyone's support, Liang Tong seemed to be more confident, and said: "His Royal Highness, please check clearly, the ministers are absolutely dedicated to the country and dedicated to their duties, and they dare not have the slightest intention of dereliction of duty." It was a little quiet inside After a while, I heard Shui Mohan say leisurely: "Master Liang, are you bullying my young and ignorant? How to deal with the epidemic and how to judge whether it is hopeless? You don't know? If everyone is like you, one place If you get sick, you can’t save him if he has it. As long as it is contagious, the city will be closed. How many cities in my Qinglong Dynasty have you sealed off? How many people have you starved to death? Does Master Liang also have the courage to seal off the city and live and die with the people of Hangzhou City?"

Before Liang Tong returned, two officials immediately said: "His Royal Highness, I will swear to the people to live and die together!" Shui Mohan's voice was filled with a cold smile, "Really? Since So... Come, send these two lords to Beicheng District to live and die with the seriously ill people, I heard that Qin lord is now in the north of the city and he is slightly ill, so let's go and be their companions."

At this time, in that place, what it means to be slightly ill can be understood by everyone without anyone explaining it.Although it is said that the seriously ill patients have been cured, it does not mean that there are no dead or infected people at all. The two adults who made a statement first were frightened and their legs went limp, and they shouted tremblingly: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me!" !" Shui Mohan snorted coldly and said, "What? Are the two adults unwilling to live and die with the people?" The two adults couldn't speak, especially when they felt that His Royal Highness Yan Wang who had been sitting on the side hadn't spoken yet. When looking at them, he was even more afraid to say no.When Daiyu went in, she saw the two lying on the ground trembling.Huangfu Bingyan got up and supported Daiyu to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Why are you up?" He already reached out to grab her wrist to feel her pulse.Daiyu smiled at him and said, "I'm fine. Let's get down to business first." She only hoped that the situation in front of her could divert his attention and stop staring at herself.Wu You followed behind Daiyu, seeing the gentleness and tacit understanding between the two of them in every move, and became more and more envious.

Mo Yu, who was sitting on the other side looking at her with concern, nodded and smiled, seeing the obvious relaxation in Mo Yu's eyes, Daiyu took a sip of the teacup Huangfu Bingyan handed to her, and frowned slightly It turned out that the teacup was not tea, but a cup of ginseng tea.In the past two years, her health has gradually improved, and Daiyu doesn't like to drink these things anymore.Those who want to ask, those who want to get angry have already asked, Shui Mohan glanced angrily at the officials kneeling below.These people have a good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are indeed not corrupt officials who have committed crimes against the common people.But if they let the matter of Qingyuan County be pushed away completely, not only would he not be reconciled, but he would also be unable to explain to the people of Qingyuan.Glancing at Huangfu Bingyan who was sitting on the side, he said, "Do you have any questions for Uncle Yan and Princess?"

Huangfu Bingyan looked at him and said: "The emperor has entrusted the crown prince with full authority to handle this matter, and I will not ask questions. The crown prince can do as he sees." Shui Mohan rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart, looked sideways at Mo Yu and said: "Does Prince Anqin have anything to say?" Mo Yu sat up straight, but said in a lazy voice, "This king... just wants to know one thing. Although Qingyuan is only a small county, but The occurrence of an epidemic is also an unknown thing. Why did no one from the magistrate to the magistrate to the governor of the magistrate think of reporting to the court? If King Yan and Princess Wang hadn’t happened to come here to discover this incident, all the people in Qingyuan County would have died Afterwards, how are you going to explain to the imperial court how Qingyuan County disappeared from the Qinglong Dynasty?" Shui Mohan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Moyu admiringly, turned his head to look at Liang Tong who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and said, "Master Liang , why don't you explain it to King Anqin? What are you going to do?"

Liang Tong's heart skipped a beat, and when Mo Yu's words just came to the point, he secretly sweated.This seemingly gentle and lazy Anqin County King is really not simple, "Weichen..." No matter what the reason is, there is no way to justify it.Shui Mohan casually tapped on the handrail and said: "The prince knows that Mr. Liang has contributed a lot to governing Jiangnan, but...if you don't ask clearly, I have to worry about whether the city of Hangzhou will disappear from Jiangnan that day. Maybe one day Jinling will be gone." Liang Tong quickly surrendered to the ground, "I don't dare to die."

There was silence in the whole hall, and it took Liang Tong a long time to say: "It's my minister who mishandled it, please His Highness deal with it."

Shui Mohan sneered in his heart, more than half of the people in a city died of illness, and it was just a mere mishandling?Since this is the case, the prince also mishandled it once, "Zhejiang Governor Liang Tong neglected his duties, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of people in Qingyuan. The prince thinks that he has done a good job in governing the south of the Yangtze River for several years, so he will not implicate his family. Liang Tong will make a decision! The prefect of Hangzhou Qin Rui was exiled to the frontier, and all relevant officials above the fifth rank were dismissed from office and demoted to common people. The rest of the officials were demoted to one level, and all the property of the Liang and Qin families was used to govern Qingyuan." Liang Tong was stunned, originally he thought I was so great that I was downgraded to one or two ranks, but I didn't expect the crown prince to give him a decisive sentence as soon as he came up, and when he looked up at Shangshui Mohan's cold eyes, Liang Tong finally started to panic, "His Royal Highness, I have been wronged! The crime of being an official is not enough to kill you." Shui Mohan said coldly: "Master Liang might as well just think that this Palace mishandled it. Who made you have the same unlucky luck as the people of Qingyuan? Have you met someone who mishandled it? "

Liang Tong immediately understood that the prince was determined to kill himself.He crawled up to Huangfu Bingyan and said: "His Royal Highness Yan, I have been wronged. I have ruled the south of the Yangtze River for several years, and I have never dared to be greedy for a single bit. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work. I beg His Royal Highness Yan and the princess to be merciful." " Daiyu looked at the panicked and begging official in front of her, feeling complicated in her heart, but she didn't plead for mercy.What Liang Tong said was good, except for the matter of Qingyuan, Liang Tong can be regarded as a pretty good official.Although it's not a clean-cut breeze, it's not too much.It's just that his decision between these thoughts is indeed more chilling than those corrupt officials.Randomly confining tens of thousands of people in the city to wait for death, I am afraid that few corrupt officials would dare to do it.

Huangfu Bingyan looked at Liang Tong calmly, and said indifferently: "This king has long since left the matter to the crown prince to decide. The crown prince has to decide." After speaking, he ignored Liang Tong's sluggish appearance, and helped Daiyu up got up and went out.Liang Tong knew desperately that if he didn't think of a way, he would die.The only life-saving straw in front of my eyes can only be Princess Yan. I have heard that Princess Yan has a kind heart. In the past two years, she has been treating countless people with her medical skills. Save the officer's life." Daiyu sighed softly, followed Huangfu Bingyan out.Leaving Liang Tong and a group of officials facing the Shui Mohan with cold smiles, he said, "Lord Liang, you don't think that Princess Yan is soft-hearted because you will plead for you if you beg her for too long? That one, An Ning The king of the county, Princess Yan, is also a strange woman who has experienced the battlefield. She is not hard-hearted to anyone. Even if you have done some good things in the south of the Yangtze River these years, otherwise the first one who wants you to die will be It's her. Don't worry, I will give you a happy death. As for you..." Glancing at the other officials, Shui Mohan said indifferently: "I will remember you, you dare to put people's lives in disregard, Anyone who damages the dignity of my dynasty will die!" Looking at His Highness the crown prince, everyone was terrified, and they responded in unison: "I dare not wait for death!"

After dismissing these officials, Shui Mohan's original dignified appearance suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes as if it were just an illusion, and he limply lay on the chair and said: "What is all this? , Tens of thousands of people died, we have been busy for several months, and even he himself has lost."

"Anyone who can serve in a rich place like Jiangnan has connections. You killed Liang Tong and exiled Qin Rui. Officials in Jiangnan, big and small, will not be forced to surrender. It can be regarded as standing up for you, the crown prince." It's powerful." In less than half a month, His Highness the Crown Prince's resolute measures will surely spread throughout the government and the public.Shui Mohan wailed helplessly and said: "Mo Yu, the prince has a premonition that I won't be free for a long time, and I don't want those guys to cause trouble for me." When his father ascended the throne in a hurry, then But he was in a hurry.

Mo Yu rubbed his chin, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Unexpectedly, you are quite self-conscious." Shui Mohan slumped in the chair, rolled his eyes and said, "What if you don't realize it? My father is really in a hurry What can’t be done? Do you think it’s better to be forced to be enthroned or to be enthroned willingly? Momo, let’s go back to the beach.”

"You haven't given up on going to sea yet?"

"Where is it? I heard that Uncle Wang of Xining is in the East China Sea. Uncle Yan Wang ran away, so we have to catch a general of Zhen Guo and go back."

"Prince of Xining County? Are you okay?"

"He was hit hard by Uncle Yan Wang. How many Uncle Yan Wang do you think there are in this world?"
