Chapter 622: Ten Thousand Urgent Reports

  Chapter 622 An urgent report

   "What?" Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't know the horror of malaria.

This malaria broke out once more than ten years apart, and the entire Ming Dynasty's garrison in the southwest was disturbed. The sanitary conditions and medical level of this era are almost helpless against malaria. A large outbreak will kill countless people. According to reports, Fang Jinglong is already ill. It is said that the symptoms after the onset of malaria are extremely terrifying, and it is a torment for people's body and mind.

But…

  Fang Jinglong actually went to patrol the camp at this time.

   "Is he crazy?" Emperor Hongzhi said: "Is it really dead?"

  Xie Qian also smiled wryly. In fact, when he saw the report, he also found it unbelievable and impossible, but...

Xie Qiandao: "At first, I also thought it was unbelievable, but the epidemic situation in Guizhou is as serious as Yunnan and Guangxi, but judging from the report, the situation in Guizhou is still stable, although it is because of it, more than 800 people died However, the epidemic is still getting worse, but the commanders of the guards in Guizhou, thousands of households, etc., are still in the camp, and there is no mutiny in the army, and even the soldiers and civilians who fled are very few. ..."

Xie Qian took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi: "This shows that Pingxihou's inspections have achieved results. We must know that epidemics are natural disasters, but after natural disasters, the most terrifying thing is man-made disasters. Whether man-made disasters are brewing depends on local defenses. There is a great relationship. Ping Xihou is now sick, and his life is not long. He dragged his broken body around to patrol the battalions to appease the sergeants. Good example, the heart of this soldier is fleshy. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, but if the guard is willing to do his duty faithfully, the army will have no worries."

Xie Qian paused, and then continued: "Two days ago, there was also a report at the Ministry of War, which was written by Mrs. Liu on behalf of Marquis Pingxi. The guards in the army, wait for the imperial court to appoint a new garrison or governor, and then let the Liu family assist Tianchai. Guizhou is the center of the southwest, Guizhou, Guizhou, and Yunnan provinces. Guizhou has the most natives and mountains. Therefore, Guizhou Ping, the southwest is fixed, and Guizhou must not be negligent. Now it seems that as long as Ping Xihou is alive for a day, Guizhou, let alone a plague, will be able to survive another catastrophe. It's just... a pity Ping Xihou, he... really suffered."

   When Xie Qian said this, there were tears in his eyes.

  Regardless of whether there are gaps and estrangements between civil and military forces, this kind of loyalty, even if he is dying, is a person who is planning for the country, which is still very admirable.

   Isn’t this kind of people what Daming lacks?

  If everyone was Ping Xihou, why would there be so many incidents.

  Xie Qian couldn't help raising his eyes, but he found that Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were already moist.

The Tian family should be ruthless, since they call themselves the Son of Heaven, they should be like the sky, driving all things, and the common people are chess, but Emperor Hongzhi, after all, is still a human being, a person of flesh and blood, in his mind, since he ascended the throne, Fang Jinglong has followed orders everywhere There is also the picture of the battle, not avoiding the arrow stone; there is also the picture of dragging the sick body, the burly body, in an instant, skinny, but still stubbornly dragging the sick body, appeasing the three armies on behalf of the court, and patrolling the battalions.

  Because there are people like this, Guizhou...hasn’t caused a big disturbance, and there hasn’t been anything that made Emperor Hongzhi angry.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were red, and he worked hard, but he did not let his tears come out. He sighed and said quietly: "When the country is in trouble, I think of a good general. I have Pingxihou, so I can be free from worries. But if... Pingxihou's bad news comes, in the future , who can guard the frontiers for me, appease the Quartet, and suppress disobedient ministers?"

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his heart was congested, and he took a deep breath: "Qing, wait, don't learn from him. Loyalty and hard work are easy to say, but it is too difficult to do it. How can you bear it with flesh and blood? This kind of tossing, when I was seriously ill, I knew the seriousness of the disease, and then I knew that even if I moved a little at that time, there would be pain like bone erosion, and it was hard to resist unless I was tenacious. I don't want my life anymore, even if this person is about to die, why is he still like this? It is decreed that Pegasus sent an imperial envoy to Pingxi to wait for him to rest and recuperate immediately. For the tour of the camp, there are Liu Shi, Liu Shi If it's female, it's not enough to town Guizhou, I will send someone to go there, so that he doesn't have to worry about it."

  Liu Jian and others were all silent.

  Deep in my heart, why don't I admire such behavior?

  Both ability and morality, for the ancients, virtue always comes before talent.

  Fang Jinglong may not be a man of great talent. Fang Jinglong is not the only general who has made great achievements in the army.

But…

  People are more willing to be moved by a loyal person, and for a talented person, at most, they are cheering for him for making great contributions.

   Cheering and moving are different.

  Just as people may applaud the champion, but it can be passed down for thousands of years. The most admired by the monarchs and ministers is always Su Wu who shepherds the sheep, and Wen Tianxiang, the capital of righteous songs.

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "If there is a mistake in the Pingxi Marquis, I will order people to Guizhou to supervise the construction of the Martyr's Shrine, and send people to worship to keep the incense burning."

   After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongzhi seemed depressed, and said: "Please step back, I am... tired today."

  Liu Jian and others hurriedly said: "The ministers and others will leave."

  Ouyang Zhi is also ready to step down.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Ouyang Qing's family."

  Ouyang Zhi stopped and looked at Emperor Hongzhi dully.

  Emperor Hongzhi leaned back on his chair, silent.

  Ouyang Zhi stopped and stood aside, he was a quiet person, as long as Emperor Hongzhi didn't speak, he would never say a word.

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were still red, tears came from the corners of his eyes, and he stretched out his hand: "Bring a handkerchief."

  Ouyang Zhi hesitated for a while, then looked around: "Where is the towel?"

  Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to wipe away his tears with his long sleeves, trying to pull himself together: "Your teacher must be very sad."

  Ouyang Zhi thought for a while: "The mentor is thinking of a way to prepare a prescription to rescue the master."

"Yes." Emperor Hongzhi's throat choked up. This was Fang Jifan's temperament. His father had an accident, and he must have been jumping in a hurry, but he would never cry. He must exhaust all means, but... malaria is a persistent disease. For hundreds of thousands of years, people have been helpless about this. How could it be possible to concoct any life-saving prescription.

  Fang Jifan, thinking about it, he must have gone to the doctor in a hurry.

I have ordered Fang Jifan to be the captain-in-law, and I have only one daughter, Zhu Xiurong. From then on, Fang Jifan will be the son-in-law, and I will treat him as half my son, but who would have thought that at this moment, this child will suffer such a bereavement? father's pain.

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "If there is anything wrong with Marquis Pingxi, I will be his father. Let's go and walk with me."

  Ouyang Zhi was silent for a long time: "Where is Your Majesty going?"

  Emperor Hongzhi said seriously: "Xishan!"

  Ouyang Zhi nodded silently.

  As a student, he realized it later, and suddenly thought at this moment that his master was seriously ill, and his teacher...didn't know what to do. Suddenly...tears fell like rain.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "What's wrong?"

  Ouyang Zhi whimpered, "It hurts!"

  ...

  The fast horse came from the southwest and walked extremely fast.

  The imperial court’s gallop started from the capital and traversed all states in the world. The knights on horseback came from the epidemic area, but they were full of energy.

Da da da…

  The fast horse galloped straight into the city, and the one who was familiar with the road arrived at the Tongzheng Secretary.

  The Secretary of General Administration received the express report and quickly reported it to the cabinet.

  In the cabinet.

  Liu Jian and others came to the cabinet.

   Ma Wensheng and other ministers followed.

  The great changes in the southwest, His Majesty admired Pingxihou's loyalty, and he didn't have the mind to continue discussing the matter, but the disaster was like a fire, as an important minister of the cabinet and the six ministries, how could he stand by and watch?

Liu Jian is holding the teacup. This is a closed meeting of the cabinet. In addition to all the cabinet scholars, there are officials Wang Ao, officials Zhang Sheng, and military officials Ma Wensheng. There are also ministers and ministers from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment. As for Honglu Temple and Dali Temple, people have also come. Of course, the Jiuqing came here more to make up numbers. These things have nothing to do with them. .

Liu Jian sat still, with a tired face, he was old, and for some reason, even his heart softened. Hearing about Ping Xihou, Liu Jian felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He calmed down, looked at the solemn crowd, Said: "Fortunately, Lai Pingxihou took control of Guizhou, but the epidemic situation in other provinces is still terrible. Even in Guizhou, three or four out of ten people in the army are infected. If this continues, the southwest is in danger. At this time, it should be done as soon as possible. Allocate money, food, medicinal materials, and go to the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou to appease the hearts of the people. Besides, we also need to take precautions. Natural disasters and man-made disasters. "

Everyone is still silent. At this time, the chief minister of the cabinet must make up his mind, and there is no room for doubt. The situation is urgent, and there is no need for discussions and disputes. The cabinet ministries need to be twisted into a rope. Take Liu Jian as the lead.

  But at this time, someone outside said: "Report, Southwest Emergency Report, I want to see Mr. Liu, where is Mr. Liu?"

   "Please."

  Obviously... another newsletter is coming, and it's still urgent.

  Liu Jian's words were interrupted, he frowned, why is there another report, is it a rebellion, or something happened?

  He took a sip of his tea and managed to calm himself down.

  A moment later, I saw Liu He, the Zuo Tongzheng official of the General Administration Department striding in. At this time, Liu He didn't bother to talk about the rules, and said solemnly: "Liu Gong, the urgent report is from Guizhou... it is written by Pingxihou!"

   "..."

  Ping Xihou pro-book.

  Didn't it mean... Ping Xihou was already ill?

  Malaria... When it gets to the point of being serious, it should be due to high fever, weakness, and vomiting. It is said that even Ping Xihou is almost always carried to the camp when he patrols the camp. How is it possible that he can repair the book himself?

  This sentence is a bit of an insult to IQ.
