Chapter 592: Two Swords Combined

King Qi couldn't help laughing, "I didn't do anything, just told him that the Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon, and her old man said that she likes pearls from the East China Sea, and the round pearls produced in the East China Sea are the best. I went to the East China Sea to look for pearls."

King Qi said it lightly, but Su Qing knew it wasn't that simple, Donghai, I'm afraid there is something waiting for the prince?

I used to think that the prince of Dazhou was useless and useless, but the prince of Beimo was even more useless, cruel and lustful, and many women in Beijing had already been murdered by him.

Going to the East China Sea, it doesn't matter if one arm or one leg is removed from him, he must be taught a lesson.

After Qin Zhou left, Empress Cao went to meet the emperor and told him about Qin Zhou's attitude.

The emperor was furious, but at this moment, he received a report from the Tang Dynasty that the Zhou army was approaching twenty miles away.

The Emperor Beimo panicked, and hastily issued an order to summon the King of Zhen and the old general to enter the palace, but got the news that both the King of Zhen and the old general had fallen ill.

The imperial doctor was passed on, and the imperial doctor said that both of them were infected with the epidemic.

"Your Majesty, why did the prince and the old general get the disease for no reason? And that Qin Zhou suddenly changed his attitude. This is too weird." Empress Cao said.

The Emperor Beimo raised his ferocious face, "Xia Zi'an is right, the epidemic is about to break out."

"Ah?" Empress Cao was shocked.

"The number of deaths reported from the epidemic area is increasing day by day. Since the earthquake, 100,000 people have died from the earthquake and epidemic. This is a conservative estimate." The emperor said solemnly.

"How did this happen? Before Xia Zi'an came, the epidemic was not so serious. Why did the epidemic worsen when she came?" Empress Cao asked puzzled.

The emperor had a gloomy face, "It's not Xia Zian who made trouble, she is not so capable."

"What should I do?" Empress Cao was worried, "Now that the disaster victims are pouring into the capital, how long can they resist?"

The emperor smiled coldly, "There is no need to resist, everything is settled."

"How to resettle them?" Empress Cao didn't understand, but looking at the emperor's vicious eyes, she suddenly understood, "The emperor means to resettle the victims in one place, and then..."

"That's right, and then completely blockade Ancheng, Qicheng and Luo County, no one can enter, and no one can come out, one comes out, one is killed, that way, within half a month, all the epidemic patients are gone, the epidemic The disease will be cured naturally." The emperor said in a dark voice.

This is a massacre!

Empress Cao said happily: "It's a good idea. In this way, you can save military rations and send them to the border."

"Well, it's just that Qin Zhou has to work hard." The emperor pondered for a while, "I'm afraid the old general won't be able to surrender her."

Empress Cao looked at the emperor and said in a low voice, "Perhaps, it's time for Qin Zhou to be replaced, and Cao Ji is now a thing..."

The emperor scolded angrily, "Confused, is the current Qin Zhou still the Qin Zhou who was just promoted at the beginning? You can change it if you say so? Don't think about always recommending Cao Ji. He is not yet ready, so he is far away from Qin Zhou." .”

Empress Cao flinched, "But, what should I do now? She has great power, if she turns against..."

Empress Cao dared not speak any further.

The emperor really didn't understand why the situation turned around so quickly? Obviously he took the initiative, but up to now, he is so passive.

What did Murong Jie and Xia Zian do? He obviously didn't do anything, just spread rumors, why did Qin Zhou believe that?

That is the person he has reused for ten years.

Where did something go wrong? Could it be that the sky really wants to destroy him?

"The removal operation must be carried out immediately. Since the rumors are not widespread enough and other state capitals don't know about it, we must do it as soon as possible." The emperor made up his mind, "Also, kill Xia Zi'an, that's it. Qin Zhou can no longer be confused by her."

"How to deal with Muzhai?" Empress Cao asked.

The emperor burst out a word from between his teeth, "Burn!"

Empress Cao nodded, "Let Cao Ji handle this matter?"

Cao Ji is the younger brother of her natal family. Over the years, she has always wanted to recommend her natal family, but even though the emperor attaches great importance to her and trusts her, he always refuses to use someone from the Cao family.

"Let him do it." The emperor finally let go.

Empress Cao smiled, stood up and blessed herself, "Yes, the concubine ordered someone to pass the decree!"

Cao Ji is now just an idle official position in the Ministry of War, and has never been reused.

It is his empty ambitions that have not been stretched, this is his self-thinking.

This kind of person, who has held back his "big ambition" for a long time, once he gets a channel to vent, it will be incredible.

Zian was very excited when she found out that the golden key was the money plant. She ran up the mountain with her intelligence, but, as Lin Dan said, the northern desert is cold, and money plant, as she knows, grows in the tropics or subtropics, so she ran After a mountain, I couldn't find it.

It is impossible to rely on the court to provide medicines nowadays, but Zian must get some first for experimentation.

Therefore, she had no choice but to send someone to ask Gao Fengtian to help buy some golden keys.

But Gao Fengtian didn't bring the golden key, he brought someone here himself.

"My lord asked me to take you away." Gao Fengtian said solemnly.

Zian asked: "Leave? Why did you leave? I found a prescription."

"The emperor has made a big move." Gao Fengtian lowered his voice, "This time, I'm here to evacuate the villagers. The good emperor of Beimo wants to burn the village."

"What?" Zian was shocked, "How could he make such a decision? There are thousands of people here."

Gao Fengtian sneered, "What are the lives of thousands of people to him? He has ordered people to resettle the flood victims in Ancheng, promised to send doctors and food there, and blockade Ancheng, Qicheng, and Luo counties. No one is allowed to enter or come out, except those delivering food and medicine."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Zian didn't understand, it was no problem to gather the victims, deliver food and medicine.

"He sent Cao Ji to do this, and the food raised these days has been speeded up to the frontier."

"What do you mean?" Zian's face changed drastically, "You mean, he wants to trap these victims and starve to death?"

"That's right, Concubine Qing has inquired about the news, the emperor and Empress Cao have this plan."

Anger enveloped Zian, she clenched her fists, "How could he do this? These are all his people!"

"For him, territory is the most important thing."

"I was wrong. I shouldn't let people spread the news. I harmed these victims." Zi'an's heart ached. If she hadn't announced the epidemic, the victims would not have flooded into Beijing.

"Don't blame yourself. It has nothing to do with you. Even if you don't spread the disease, the emperor doesn't intend to provide disaster relief. At that time, the epidemic will still spread, and they will still die. The result will be the same." Gao Fengtian comforted. .

Zi An calmed down, now is not the time to blame himself.

"Where is the prince? Where is the prince now?" Zian asked quickly.

"My lord went to find General Long, and then General Long and the people sent by the main peace force forced the palace. However, the premise is that there must be enough soldiers and horses to resist the imperial forest army and the city patrolling army. Therefore, for this, it depends on Qin Zhou. .”
