Chapter 557 Consultation
It dawned very quickly, and soon after the night faded, the entire Daxing Palace was bathed in the morning light.
The civil and military ministers filed in from Hanguang Gate, walked along the corridor, passed through Chengtian Gate, and finally arrived outside Chengqing Hall on the west side of Taiji Hall. Then they listened to the eunuch in charge passing the message one by one. Go inside.
This is where Sheng Guo Zhengzheng handles his affairs.
Just after midnight, several groups of officials had come here to submit documents from various places. Yu Wenyuan sat at the top and made a corresponding decision after discussing with Zhongshu and several officials under the sect. They then drafted documents and distributed them to all parties. Although there were many people and the affairs were complicated, there was no panic.
On the contrary, it was faster and more effective than when the emperor went to court to handle government affairs.
After a while, a group of officials came out with documents.
One of them lowered his head and glanced at the black and regular handwriting on the document in his hand. He suddenly chuckled and said, "I don’t know when this plague will be over."
The official next to him said: "You still care about this? Isn't this matter left to the two young masters to handle?"
The official smiled and said: "What I care about is this word."
"Word?"
"When the plague is over, this word should also turn red."
"..."
The official immediately understood what was happening, and the two No one said anything more, they just smiled meaningfully, and then left Chengqing Hall together.
As soon as they left, a tall figure slowly walked up from the side.
It was Yu Wenye who had just finished discussing today's major events with Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan at the inn, and the person following him was Shang Ruyi, who had a haggard look on his brows because he had not slept all night, but his expression was solemn.
Just when the two were about to approach Chengqing Hall, a familiar figure walked out of it.
It is Yu Dingxing who has just received the order from Sheng Guogong.
As soon as they saw him, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi took a step back in unison. However, this step was not fast, so Yu Dingxing saw them just as he walked out of the palace door.
The two looked at each other, their expressions seemed to be startled.
Yu Dingxing's big and deep eyes seemed to be hidden in a deep haze. It was difficult to see the true emotions in those eyes, but at this moment, one could clearly feel a light flashing in those eyes. He immediately came forward to greet him, raised his hands and saluted: "Second Young Master."
Yu Wenye also bowed his hand: "Master Yu."
"Second Young Master, is there anything that can be done here?"
"Yes...there is something that needs to be reported. ”
“Then young master, go quickly”
"Okay, Mr. Yu, let's go and do some work."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and they were supposed to go their separate ways, but Yu Dingxing glanced at Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi again, as if they were a little confused. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "I remembered that I still have something to report to the Duke. I just forgot about it, so why not Let's go."
Yu Wenye's face darkened slightly, but he didn't show much emotion or anger. He just said: "That's it, okay..."
After that, he took the lead. After saying this to Shang Ruyi, Yu Dingxing also smiled, raised his hand, turned around and walked forward with them. In just a few steps, he entered the Chengqing Hall.
This palace was originally a place where Emperor Wen collected books and read. Later, after Chu Yang moved the capital, the place was deserted. Although Yu Wenyuan supported the young emperor Chu Chengfei, he naturally did not read books. Because of his hobbies and habits, this place was only used for collecting books. It was not until this time that Yu Wenyuan used this place as a place to sit and work, and this spacious palace was allowed to see the light of day again.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled the strong fragrance of ink in the air.
As soon as Yu Wenye raised his head, he saw Yu Wenyuan sitting upright in front of the hall, writing with a pen. There were several piles of documents on the desk in front of him that had not yet been reviewed. Below the left and right hands are Zhongshu and the officials under the sect respectively. They are also working hard at their desks and writing vigorously.
Until I heard Yu Wenye’s footsteps.
Everyone looked up and saw a strange expression on their faces when they saw him, but no one spoke. They only lowered their heads, but they all focused their attention on Yu Wenyuan.
Yu Wenyuan didn’t slowly raise his head until he finished writing the last word.
Yu Wenye immediately stepped forward: "Father."
Shang Ruyi also hurriedly raised his hand and was about to salute, but saw Yu Wenyuan calmly closing the document in his hand and placing it on the right hand side where the review had been completed. He piled it on and then said: "Your father is not here."
Yu Wenye came back to his senses and immediately followed Shang Ruyi leaned over and bowed at the same time: "Meet the Prime Minister."
Yu Wenyuan relaxed his frown and saw Yu Dingxing returning, so he said: "Master Yu, why haven't you left yet? ?”
Yu Dingxing immediately said: “Just now, there is one more thing that I haven’t reported to the Prime Minister.”
"What's the matter?"
"This - since the general came first, please speak first."
"..."
Yu Wenyuan glanced at him , did not continue to ask, only looked at Yu Wenye again, and said: "I heard that your people almost burned down Dongshi last night. What happened?"
Yu Wenye's eyebrows raised slightly - in fact, he was not surprised that this matter was reported to Yu Wenyuan so quickly. He just subconsciously glanced at Yu Dingxing, who was standing next to him. General Zuo Xiaowei, who had recovered many patients from outside the city, and had been staying in the palace as a guard, lowered his head slightly at this moment.
Yu Wenye immediately said: "It's a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Why the misunderstanding?" "It's Pei Xingyuan. The medicine he hoarded has been exhausted, so yesterday there was an almost civil uprising in Changlefang. After that, he I found a businessman on the black market and wanted to He wanted to buy medicine, but he didn’t expect that the other party would actually set up a trap to seek money and kill him, and even wanted to burn him to death."
Yu Wenyuan frowned: "Is there such a thing?"< br>
“Yes.”
"Well, that boy from the Pei family -"
"He has been rescued and is fine for the time being, but his family's medicine has been exhausted. Today - Changlefang can only temporarily use some decoctions to relieve cold symptoms. Patient. We still need to think about this matter."
"..."
"As for burning Dongshi, that's not possible."
"..."
"After all, the entire Dongcheng is still under the jurisdiction of Big Brother - the Minister of War. No matter how confused the general is, he will not make trouble for him."
As soon as he finished his words, he heard a gentle voice. The voice said: "Not bad."
Everyone turned around subconsciously and saw a slender and handsome figure walking in from outside the palace. It was the Minister of the Ministry of War who was talked about by Yu Wenye just now, his brother. Yu Wenzei.
As soon as they saw him, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi immediately stepped aside.
Yu Wenzuo walked in, holding a document in his hand. He first saluted Yu Wenyuan, who was sitting above him. Yu Wenyuan said, "Here you are."
"Yes,"
Yu Wenye said: "Prime Minister, someone has reported what happened last night. It is true that a few black market businessmen invaded other people's warehouses and wanted to harm Mr. Pei there and seek wealth and death. Fortunately, General Tiance saved the man and it didn't cause a big disaster."
As he said that, he turned to look at Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi who was standing behind him.
The two of them immediately bowed their hands to him and saluted: "Brother."
Yu Wenzuo nodded.
After hearing his words, Yu Wenyuan was silent for a while, and then said: "It's good since there is no big trouble. However, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Nowadays, the plague is raging in the city, and there are still so many patients waiting for it. Treatment, someone dares to make money and kill people in the name of selling medicinal materials at this time, must be investigated strictly!"
Yu Wenye immediately said: "Yes"
Hearing his answer, Yu Dingxing, who was standing next to him, immediately glanced at him, while Yu Wenyuan had already looked at Yu Wenzhen and said, "By the way, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"
Hearing this, Yu Wenzhen immediately said: " extend After ten days of treatment, 321 of the patients in Zuofang have recovered. I am reporting to the Prime Minister, please let them go home."
"Oh?"
When Yu Wenyuan heard this, his face suddenly became happy: "Has anyone been cured?"
The attendant next to him immediately stepped forward and took the document from Yu Wenzhen's hand and brought it to him. He opened it and took a look. Yu Wenyuan was satisfied. He nodded and said: "Okay."
With just one word, the atmosphere in Chengqing Hall changed again.
Especially Yu Dingxing, who was standing aside, had a hint of joy that could not be concealed in his deep-set eyes at this moment. When he looked at Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi, he saw that the other two looked calm. , although there was no sign of any joy or anger, the not-so-bright light in the hall still made the two people's faces look a little gloomy.
However, after the initial joy, Yu Wenyuan still said with a serious face: "Are these more than 300 people really cured? But we need to find out, and we must not let them leave the city with the disease."
"..."
"Even if there is someone who comes out of the city with the disease - you should know the consequences!"
"Your Majesty understands,"
Yu Wenzui said immediately: "Therefore, I specifically request the Prime Minister to ask the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Office - all the doctors - to Officials, go to the Mingde Gate in Nancheng for a joint consultation. Everyone must be diagnosed by these medical officers before leaving the city to make sure that they have recovered before letting them go out of the city."
Hearing this, Yu Wenyuan hesitated. After a moment: "Wouldn't this be too intrusive?"
Yu Wenzuo said: "Although we mobilize the troops, it has no other purpose."
"Oh? You said."
"This is the first batch of patients to be cured, and they are all People in the villages outside the city have been sick for the longest time, and their condition is It is also the most serious. As long as they can recover and leave the city, I believe that the chances of being cured will be high for the patients in the back. This will also give these patients a little confidence."
After hearing his words, Shang. Ruyi stood aside and frowned.
What Yu Wenzhen said does make sense.
Sometimes, the treatment of epidemic diseases requires not only acupuncture and decoction, but also the patient's own confidence. If the belief is firm, some minor illnesses can be cured without even needing acupuncture and decoction; but if the confidence collapses, even Even a minor illness can have unpredictable effects.
It’s just——
Just when she frowned but couldn’t speak, Yu Wenyuan pondered for a while and then slowly closed the document in his hand and looked at the people in the hall. Several people said, "What do you think?"
As they spoke, their eyes had already fallen on Yu Wenye.
