The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 583: Attack on the heart
The Empress Cao reassured: "Don't worry, General, now the food and grass are being raised and sent to the border in batches. When the General returns to the DPRK, he should also see the grain trucks transported to the frontier."
Qin Zhou said: "Yes, I saw it, but this number is far from enough. Also, when I came back all the way, I saw people in the disaster area fleeing from other places, and there were extremely hungry refugees everywhere. Could it be from the imperial court? Can’t get food for disaster relief?”
Only Qin Zhou dared to ask this.
But in the past, Qin Zhou didn't ask questions and never questioned any of the emperor's decisions, but this time on the way back to Beijing, what she saw was really shocking.
Earthquakes in the North Desert are a common occurrence, and therefore, the emperor will continue to want to invade the land of other countries and save the people from the suffering of earthquakes.
It's just that the aftermath of this earthquake is worse than ever before.
It's not that the plague never broke out, but it can be brought under control soon.
This time, it has been nearly a month since the earthquake. Not only has the disaster area not been rebuilt, it has not been cleaned up yet. The corpses are piled up everywhere, and there are no soldiers to maintain order.
Of course she knows that because most of the soldiers have already gone out to fight against Da Zhou, but there are still troops and soldiers in the country. Why didn't the emperor send these people into the epidemic area? Now you have to mobilize troops and horses back from the border?
The emperor said: "The food for the disaster relief has already gone down. As for the people fleeing, I have also learned about this situation, and I have understood that it is because of the plague." Qin Zhou asked again: "The emperor has nothing to do with this plague. What do you think? It seems to be more powerful than ever before. Moreover, Xia Zian, the regent princess of Da Zhou, proposed that this plague will spread on a large scale. I wonder what measures the emperor can take? Then Xia Zian gave a prescription, the emperor can be fatal
Does the development of recipes have the effect of curbing the plague? "
Qin Zhou was so aggressive that the emperor was a little unhappy.
Empress Cao saw that the emperor's face changed slightly, so he hurriedly smoothed things out, "The general has just returned, and he is also tired. Go back and rest for a while, and then enter the palace to talk to this palace. As for the soldiers you brought back, the emperor already has them. It is decided that 30,000 people will be allocated to the disaster area.”
"30,000 people? But this time the minister brought back 100,000 people. Didn't the emperor say so?" Qin Zhou was puzzled.
The emperor said slowly: "The remaining 70,000 people will be stationed outside the city without making arrangements for the time being."
Qin Zhou raised his voice slightly, "70,000 people are stationed outside the city? Why is this? Your Majesty, isn't this a waste of troops? When they come back, they should enter the disaster area. If it is for the security of the capital, the capital in Beijing is already a waste of money. There is a garrison."
As for those garrisoned troops, they were supposed to enter the disaster area for rescue during the earthquake, but the emperor did not send them out. He only asked the Yamen and Chongqingyuan Prefecture in the disaster-stricken area to send some troops to the disaster relief area, which would lead to a serious shortage of manpower.
The emperor looked at Qin Zhou, and the corners of his lips twitched, "The general has a lot of questions, is it because he is dissatisfied with my actions?"
Qin Zhou was stunned, then realized that he was too sharp, and quickly bowed: "I dare not, I have violated the rules."
"The general never breaks the rules." The emperor reminded him intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Zhou's heart sank, and he quickly got up and knelt down on one knee, "I really won't overstep the rules. This time, I was too impatient and reckless. It's what I saw all the way back, and I was shocked, and I will speak. Disrespectful words."
"I don't care about anything the general does or says. Get up quickly. As for the disaster area, I have made proper arrangements. The general doesn't have to worry about it. Let's go back to the house to rest first." The emperor said.
Qin Zhou got up and cupped his hands: "Yes, I retire!"
After Qin Zhou went out, the emperor said to Empress Cao: "Go and talk to her."
Queen Cao stood up and blessed her body, "Yes, then let the concubine go."
When Qin Zhou went out to the palace lane, he heard the palace maid next to Empress Cao calling, "General Qin, the Empress, please come."
Qin Zhou is not surprised. She and Cao Empress have always been in contact and can speak in private, so she said, "Please lead the way."
Queen Cao was waiting for her in the pavilion in the imperial garden, and she had already prepared wine and food.
Lady Cao was dressed in a dignified and luxurious court dress, with a graceful bearing. Seeing Qin Zhou coming, he smiled slightly, "Sit down quickly, I have already ordered someone to prepare meals for you to catch the wind and wash the dust."
"The Empress has a heart." Qin Zhou cupped his hands and sat down without being polite.
Empress Cao poured her wine and said, "Is it hard?"
"Where is the hard work going back home? The soldiers who go out on the expedition are all returning home like arrows." Qin Zhou raised his glass, "I have a cup of honor for the goddess."
The queen stretched out her hand and pressed it down, and said with a serious face: "I don't have to drink, there is a letter, and this palace wants to show you."
Qin Zhou saw the empress look so solemn, so he put down the wine glass, "What letter?"
"This is a letter sent by Concubine Yi of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After reading it, you will know the real purpose of Murong Jie and his wife coming to Beimo and the plan of the Great Zhou Emperor."
Queen Cao took out a kit from her sleeve pocket and handed it to her, "See for yourself."
Qin Zhou knew that a spy in Bei Mo had infiltrated Da Zhou's palace, and had "cooperated" with the mother of Da Zhou's seventh prince, Concubine Yi.
She took it and took out the letter from the kit, unfolded it and looked at it, her face changed suddenly, and she said angrily: "What a Murong Jie, how dare you deceive me?"
In the letter, Concubine Yi said that the purpose of Murong Jie and Xia Zian's trip was to contact the lord and faction of Beimo, to force the current emperor to abdicate, and to help Prince Qi to rebel. Mo people lost confidence in the emperor and turned to support Qi Wangye. Empress Cao sneered, "Who is Murong Jie? Although you didn't officially start a war with him, but a small fight has cost him a lot, right? He is such a smooth person? , and sent someone to help me in Beimo. If it wasn't for malicious intentions, it really didn't fit his temperament. Also, his princess, this palace has also inquired about it, she is a vicious person, her father and grandmother She died under her design, just because her father didn't submit to Murong Jie, and instead surrendered to the crown prince, so she took a ruthless hand, poor Prime Minister Xia, I'm afraid he didn't even think about it when he died
To, he will die at the hands of his daughter. "
Cao Hou said while looking at Qin Zhou's face.
She knew that Qin Zhou was a very filial person with a strong sense of family and was very filial. What she hated most was the evil person who betrayed his family and betrayed his family. Thinking about it, after hearing these words, she hated Xia Zian to the core.
Sure enough, Qin Zhou said coldly: "Then Xia Zian is best not to fall into my hands. If it falls into my hands, she will definitely die." Empress Cao sighed, "Now you know the emperor. Why should some people stay in the capital? This is to prevent Prince Qi and Murong Jie from colluding to start an army. Once the imperial city falls, the soldiers at the border will be attacked by Murong Jie. At that time, what will be the situation, General It's also predictable."
