Chapter 67
The capital city is not small, so the news spread quite quickly.

It was not past noon, and when we went up to the Gaomen mansion and down to the streets and alleys, everyone knew about the hanging of Mr. Shi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who committed suicide.

There was also a rumor from somewhere that the emperor forced Master Shi to death, just because Lord Shi was outspoken in the scriptures, and the emperor believed in treacherous villains, making loyal ministers feel wronged, and Zhongyi shed tears.

With a "snap", the emperor's beloved jade gourd shattered into eight petals, "He, Shi Zhengyun, really thinks he's Zhongliang? Why can't he think about it and make me feel bloody all over, and she shed tears? I'm the one who weeps because of injustice." of!"

Eunuch Zhou handed over a cup of lotus heart tea in a timely manner, and comforted him: "The rumors in the market are unbelievable. They are all made up by the common people who find it interesting. Think about it, your majesty. The country is rich and the people are strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so they have the leisure time to make some arrangements, if they can’t even eat enough, then why would they bother to spread some gossip!”

Although he knew that Eunuch Zhou was saying something flattering, the emperor felt much more at ease.

There are not many educated people. If you are serious with them, you will lose your demeanor. Instead, you will confirm the rumors. It is better to let them go. After a while, they will fade out of everyone's sight.

Seeing the emperor's complexion softened slightly, Eunuch Zhou himself lay down on the ground, picked up the jade fragments bit by bit, and held them in the palm of his hand.

When the emperor saw it, he asked, "It's the chief executive, why do these small things by yourself, and ask your apprentice to do it."

Standing on the side, Xiao Dezi hurried forward, wanting to take the fragments from the master's hand. Eunuch Zhou dodged Xiao Dezi's hand, bowed to the emperor and said, "You should come here as a slave, and do more practical things, lest people say that I am a That treacherous villain, with one mouth, is slandering the Lord Long Live!"

When the emperor heard it, he clapped his palms and laughed: "Don't tell me not to take it seriously, but you are small-minded, and you have memorized every word!"

Eunuch Zhou laughed a few times along with him: "I have a small mind, I can only pretend to be the Lord Long Live!"

"Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and finish your practical work and come back, I have something to ask you to go." The emperor restrained his smile and said seriously.

Eunuch Zhou was about to hand over the fragments in his hand to Xiao Dezi, walked up to the emperor, and said in a low voice, "Long Live Lord, please give me instructions."

"Please invite Marquis Yongwei to enter the palace, I have something to do for him."

"Hey!" Eunuch Zhou responded, and took a group of people straight to the camp in the eastern suburbs.

But half an hour later, Eunuch Zhou brought Ying Yu over. Ying Yu waited in front of the door, and only went in after Eunuch Zhou notified him.

"I see the emperor." Ying Yu walked to the middle of the hall, knelt on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted.

"Aiqing is flat." After Ying Yu got up, the emperor asked Zhou Gonggong to pass a memorial to Ying Yu, and said in a deep voice: "June and July are when the summer heat begins, and the corpses of frontier soldiers were not disposed of properly. The garrison city facing the battlefield was the first to be affected by the epidemic.

It has been cloudy and rainy these days, and many sick refugees went to Beijing along the official road. Except for the soldiers guarding the city, Aiqing is the most familiar with the situation in the frontier. I will send you to escort the imperial physicians all the way to the frontier. Settle the refugees for me and keep the epidemic to a minimum. "

Ying Yuzai read the booklet carefully, closed it and handed it back to Eunuch Zhou, bowed and cupped his fists and said, "I would like to follow the holy will, and I will protect the imperial physicians thoroughly, comfort the refugees, and convey the holy will."

 Eunuch Zhou: "I only have eyes for you~ Your Majesty~"

  The emperor: "Then why don't you vote."
