"His Majesty?"
"What a ridiculous title?"
"hehe......"
"My beloved concubine, do you think I am still your majesty?"
A burst of self-deprecating laughter rang out. Liu Xie looked decadent and his eyes were helpless.
He also understood that he was just an incompetent puppet with no real power and no one took him seriously.
"Okay, if you want to laugh at me, just laugh loudly. I understand that I am a joke. Not only are those traitorous ministers forcing me to bow my head, but even my two heads of state openly support the traitor Yuan Ke. What do you mean? How can I talk about reviving the Han Dynasty?"
"The big man is finished."
Liu Xie had never been so powerless and disappointed. Just now in the court, he watched the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bow their heads to Yuan Ke, and watched the great minister Nong Sangle resign and return to his hometown.
He was not stupid, why didn't he understand that Sang Le's move was clearly to protect himself. This veteran of the Five Dynasties did not think highly of him as the emperor and did not want to antagonize Yuan Ke.
In the eyes of the other party, the big man had no hope.
He, the emperor, is also unreliable.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't be so negative. The current situation is not as bad as you said. We still have a chance."
"As long as you are still alive, there is still hope for everything. We can allow the princes from all over the world to return to the capital to kill the thief. In addition, many royal family members from one side of the separatist regime can also help you."
"The common people in the world still have a big heart."
"People's support can be used."
Fu Shou persuaded Liu Xie distressedly.
It is really difficult for a young eleven-year-old boy to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the great nation.
"Shou'er, you didn't lie to me. Do I really have hope?"
Liu Xie looked at Fu Shou expectantly.
"Your Majesty, don't belittle yourself. After all, you are the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty. As long as you are alive, Yuan Ke's rebellious ministers and traitors will not dare to make mistakes. Even if they can claim kingship and hegemony, they will not dare to openly claim emperor, because The people of Han Dynasty will not agree."
Fu Shou persuaded.
"I have already inquired about the details of today's court meeting."
"The reason why my concubine's father and Dong Guiren's father did not stand up to support His Majesty was just an expedient measure. After all, Yuan Ke is powerful, so even if they stand up to oppose Yuan Ke's appointment as the [Grand Secretary of Agriculture], it will be useless. , but it will also lead to Yuan Ke’s revenge.”
"The reason why they helped Yuan Kerong be promoted to the rank of Chief Agriculture Officer was to preserve his strength and wait for the opportunity."
"As for those courtiers, not many of them are sincerely loyal to Yuan Ke. They are just afraid of Yuan Ke's power. As long as you get rid of Yuan Ke in the future, these dog officials will be loyal to you."
Although Fu Shou is a woman, she can see more clearly.
Perhaps, this is: Bystanders know better.
"Yes, my beloved, you are right, I cannot be negative, I am still young, and I cannot die."
"I still have a chance."
"Now that Yuan Ke is powerful, I cannot openly be his enemy. I must act cautiously and look for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow to Yuan Ke."
After many setbacks, Liu Xie finally came to his senses, recognized the current situation, and stopped being radical.
For now, he can only endure and hibernate.
"Your Majesty is wise."
........
In the Imperial Physician's Office, Ji Ping had just been browsing medical books when he discovered that an envoy from the Chancellor's Desk had come to convey the emperor's edict to him.
"Ji Ping accepts the order!"
Pei Qi was walking on the fifth-level minister's desk, holding an imperial edict, and there were four soldiers behind him.
"Ji Ping accepts the order, long live your majesty."
Ji Ping and the officials of the Imperial Medical Office immediately fell to the ground.
"The emperor issued an edict: There is a plague epidemic in Huainan. The imperial physician ordered Ji Ping to be the imperial envoy, organized manpower, and left Chang'an immediately to go to Huainan to treat the plague. I am here."
Pei Qi opened the edict and said loudly.
"I accept the order and thank you!"
Ji Ping knelt down to receive the edict.
Huainan plague prevention?
Imperial envoy?
He was confused, and he didn't understand why he was let go by the emperor without any prelude?
"Master Ji, congratulations. This time I serve as an imperial envoy to Huainan to prevent the plague. When I return, I am afraid that I will be commended by His Majesty."
Pei Qi said.
"Sir Pei, I wonder why Your Majesty thought of sending your subordinates to Huainan to prevent the plague?"
Ji Ping asked.
"This was proposed by Pang An Pang, a man under Da Sima's tent. Nowadays, floods in Huainan have caused plague. The plague spreads very fast. Only a miraculous doctor like Mr. Ji can quell the plague. Therefore, I would like to express my special advice to Your Majesty and ask Mr. Ji to take charge of this project. Heavy responsibility.”
Pei Qi also didn't understand why Pang An recommended Ji Ping to be the imperial envoy. This position was a fat one. Although it was Yuan Shu's territory to go to Huainan, he would not openly attack the imperial plague prevention officials.
The prevention of the plague was successful this time, which is a great achievement. After returning to the court, it is not a problem to be promoted to an official position.
He also longed for such an opportunity, but he had no one to help him.
"Master Ji, when we become prosperous in the future, we must not forget Pei."
He is a fifth-rank official in the court, but he is just an errand boy. He also longs to be a foreign official, so that he can gain power and wealth. In the capital, he is dispensable, like a transparent person.
"Master Pei was joking. It's too late for me to thank you. How can I forget it?"
Ji Ping couldn't help but chuckle.
Afterwards, he put the edict away.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Ji, Da Sima just said that I will give you two hundred thousand taels of silver and ten carts of medicinal materials to help you go to Huainan to prevent the plague."
Pei Qi told Ji Ping what Yuan Ke said.
He was quite envious of Ji Ping's ability to gain Yuan Ke's attention.
"ah--"
Ji Ping was also extremely surprised when he heard this.
He didn't understand why Yuan Ke, a great national thief, was so interested in him?
Pang An is Yuan Ke's party member and minion. Pang An recommended him to such an important position in the court. It is very likely that Yuan Ke is planning everything behind the scenes, showing courtesy for nothing, committing adultery or stealing. He understands that Yuan Ke will not do it without reason. If the land is good to him, there must be deception in it.
"I have thanked Da Sima."
Although he was fond of the Han Dynasty, he had been an official for decades and was a smooth man. He would not openly antagonize Yuan Ke, which would lead to death.
"It's easy to say. I will convey Lord Ji's gratitude to Da Sima on your behalf."
Pei Qi said with a smile.
"..."
When Ji Ping heard this, he was also a sensible person. He took a piece of thirty taels of silver from his sleeve pocket and quietly handed it to Pei Qi.
"Thank you, Lord Pei."
"Hard!"
When Pei Qi saw this, he immediately collected the money.
He suddenly laughed.
An old face with a smile is prettier than flowers.
"No more hard work, no more hard work..."
Without chatting for a few words, he took the people away.
On the way, he also took care of the few soldiers accompanying him.
"Brothers, you have worked hard today. You can use these five taels of silver as tea money."
"Thank you, Mr. Pei!"
In the Imperial Medical Office, Ji Ping placed the edict in his hand on the desk.
After a moment of silence, he immediately wrote a list.
This list is the imperial doctors who went to Huainan this time.
"Come here, please call all the imperial doctors immediately according to this list, and tell them that there is an edict from the Emperor that a plague has broken out in Huainan, so our Imperial Medical Office must send people to Huainan today to prevent the plague. If anyone disobeys the order and fails to come, we will The crime of resisting the decree will be severely punished.”
"promise!"
A dozen pawns from the Imperial Medical Office immediately went to summon people.
........
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
While everyone in the Imperial Medical Office was busy preparing for Ji Ping's trip to Huainan, Yuan Ke, who had just taken over [Da Sinong], came to [Da Sinong Yamen] in a mighty manner under the escort of two thousand soldiers. After that, he Orders were given to summon all the officials of Da Sinong Yamen in Beijing.
The major officials, such as Da Si Nong Zhong Cheng, Da Si Nong Cheng, Taicang Ling, Ji Tian Ling, Du Nei Ling, Mint Qian Ling, Jun Shu Ling, Ping Zhen Ling, grain control officer, rice field envoy, etc., were all summoned.
More than two hundred people gathered in the courtyard in front of the main hall of [Da Sinong Yamen], listening carefully to Yuan Ke's instructions.
"I have just been ordered to take over the post of Da Sinong. From now on, all of you will be responsible to me and be driven by me. Anyone who disobeys my orders will be removed from Da Sinong's Yamen. ,Understand?"
"promise!"
The chief minister of agricultural affairs, Zhang Tianye, and the chief minister of agricultural affairs, Xu Tao, took the lead in expressing his attitude to Yuan Ke.
Before, [former Chief Sinong] Sang Le told them that after he resigned, they must serve Yuan Ke wholeheartedly.
"good!"
"I have no other requirements for personnel matters. You will still act in accordance with the previous rules and regulations."
"Zhang Tianye, Xu Tao, you two will temporarily handle daily affairs on my behalf. If there is any major matter, please come to me for instructions."
"Understand?"
After Yuan Ke took over the position of chief agricultural officer, he planned to find a professional internal affairs talent to control the financial power of the Han Dynasty on his behalf.
After all, he didn't have the extra energy to sit in charge of Da Sinong Yamen.
"promise!"
Zhang Tianye and Xu Tao did not dare to disobey the order and immediately raised their hands in response.
They were also officials in the court, so they had naturally heard about Yuan Ke's deeds, and were extremely afraid of him. They did not dare to neglect him at all, for fear of offending Yuan Ke and being executed by him.
