"Zuopushe, the forbidden area is where the harem is farmed, and the Qingshu Palace is where the empress lives. You... what are you doing?" Hua Fuzi, the newly promoted young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was so angry that his whole face She blushed, "Don't think that just because you have a distinguished status and you are an assistant minister..."
Hua Fuzi had just delivered the latest memorial submitted by Zhongshu Province into the palace. The ajar door was suddenly pushed open by Wang Guobao who was behind him. Wang Guobao half-draged the imperial physician's order in, grabbed his collar and threw it at Hua Fuzi. At Fuzi's feet, the chamberlain beside the Queen Mother jumped up in fright, and was stunned for a moment before he could see who it was.
"Let them come in!" Chen's clear voice came from the palace, and soon Wang Guobao walked straight into the palace door.
"What? The Taiyuan Hospital diagnosed that Xie Zhongshu did not die from lung disease but contracted an epidemic?" After listening to Wang Guobao's repertoire, Queen Mother Chen accidentally fell down on the soft couch in Qingshu Palace.
The imperial doctor lay down on the ground and panted and explained: "That's right, Queen Mother. Nowadays, people inside and outside the city are in panic. Countless people have fled. The number of people in exile is increasing day by day. The spread of the epidemic is accelerating. If not It would be unimaginable to be more restrained!”
Four days ago, Xie Xuan, the Superintendent of the Zhongshu Provincial Committee, argued with Wang Guobao at the meeting of the Auxiliary Ministers of the Qingshu Palace. During this period, he was emotionally excited and suffered from a hidden illness. He died of illness after being treated by dozens of imperial doctors at the imperial hospital but failed. !
Afterwards, Chen ordered Minister Zuopushe Wangobao to be responsible for Xie Xuan's burial. Just yesterday, the Imperial Medical Office suddenly came to report that there was another hidden reason for Xie Xuan's death. It was not entirely due to lung disease, but to an epidemic outside the palace!
The details also start with the Farming Law issued by the Xiaoqi Army. Expatriates from all over the country heard that Sizhou implemented the Farming Law. The Xiaoqi Army divided the ownerless land equally among the refugees, resettled them in houses, and gave cattle for grain farming. They gathered from various counties in Yangzhou to Gyeonggi. Nearby, prepare to head north...
In fact, the Sizhou Governor's Office did promulgate the Farming Law, but as the influx of people increased, the land near Sizhou had already been divided equally, and the distribution of cattle was limited to Luoyang, and to a few counties further away. There are five households with one oxen. Excluding farm tools and grain crops, the houses built by the government for the people and the oxen distributed by the government are all counted as loans from the prefecture and government offices of the relocated households, and must be repaid in years.
It's not that three people became tigers and spread rumors, but that since the Jin Dynasty moved its capital to Jiangzuo, many attempts to resolve the land dispute between the Nankai expatriates and the Wudi natives have failed to achieve any results. They only temporarily eased the relationship between the expatriates and the Wudi natives. The disputes between the natives cannot fundamentally solve the problems such as household registration, land, military service, and taxes that have troubled the Jin court for decades.
This time, the heroic cavalry army carried out a trial of farming in Sizhou, which was far more advanced than the farming during the Cao Wei period. Its benefits were far greater than benefiting the people of the country, and it was far more than the law of soil destruction!
However, although the farming method benefited all people, it seriously affected the interests of the gentry!
It was not only the refugees who fled north, but also the tenant farmers who were dependent on the gentry, the private servants and children, and even the private soldiers!
Without these people, no one would cultivate the fields of either the Wudi nobles or the Qiao nobles. Without food, the noble life of the nobles would come to an abrupt end, and the wealth and honor they relied on for survival and greed would no longer exist.
Refugees fled, and the official roads leading to Suluo and Jiankang were full of old, young, women, and children. On the way, many died of freezing and starvation due to lack of food and clothing. There was no time to bury the dead, and the wind and cold prevailed in winter... And because of the gentry's concealment, the refugees Instead of decreasing, the number of people fleeing became more and more intense, eventually leading to this epidemic!
"Your Majesty, this epidemic is not only due to the negligence of the pastors and guards in various places, but also the Danyang Yin Mansion is guilty of negligence!"
"Let's discuss this later!"
When the central ministers heard about the sudden outbreak of the epidemic in Jiankang City, they all met outside the palace gate and prepared to discuss how to deal with it. For a while, Xie Xuan's death was forgotten...
The current epidemic in Jiankang City is not serious, and there are only a few people between each village. However, outside Zhuque Gate, there have been many cases among a large number of residents within the Qinhuai River, totaling more than 500, and they continue to occur every day. Increasingly.
Mrs. Chen calmed down and turned to face Wang Guobao, with a stiff face, "If what is said is true, then the top priority is to control the overall situation. As for whether the Danyang Yin Mansion has neglected its duties, I am afraid now is not the time to investigate. I think, First, Danyang Yin will be deprived of his position and detained. After a few days, the urgent matters in the capital will be settled, and then he will be interrogated strictly. I wonder what Zuo Pushe wants?"
"What the Queen Mother said makes sense, and I will do what you say!"
If this situation develops, Jiankang City and the counties and counties near Yangzhou in the capital will inevitably be affected. After Chen issued the edict, the auxiliary ministers headed by Shangshu Ling Wang Xun immediately recruited famous doctors from various states near Yangxu in the name of the Jin court to rush to Jiankang. Heal the people.
At the same time, Zuo Min Cao Shangshu Lu Na issued an official document signed by the auxiliary minister to withdraw grain from various charity warehouses near Gyeonggi, and set up porridge sheds near Jiankang to help the victims. At the same time, the imperial doctor Shu also prevented doctors from burning mugwort and calamus in various workshops in the city. , boil the decoction to get rid of wind and cold symptoms and distribute it to the people in the workshop.
After half a month, the city of Jiankang gradually became stable. However, due to the large number of refugees outside the city who rushed to Jiankang after hearing the news of disaster relief and gathered in Danyang for a while, the originally stable situation began to become even more chaotic!
The epidemic situation in Jiankang is extremely complicated, and the situation in Hanzhong is not much better.
After capturing Nanzheng and executing Yang Ding, Xu Zongwen appointed his sworn brother Tian Luo as the prefect of Hanzhong and the order of Nanzheng, and transferred Zhao Lunzhi, the chief secretary of the Grand Sima Shogunate, to the position of chief historian of Hanzhong to assist Tian Luo. Xu Zongwen wrote a letter to pursue the title of his murdered sixth brother Zhang Gui, and at the same time recommended Guang Luxun and Yuan Zhi to the imperial court as the governor of Liangzhou.
Yuan Zhi is the head of the Yuan family in Chen County. He was a man who returned to the county with a title. He served as an internal history official in Langxie and was the governor of Dongyang. His nephew Yuan Qiao once followed the great Sima Huanwen to destroy the Han Dynasty and made military exploits. However, he died of illness soon. The Yuan family in Chen County is now also Only Yuan Zhi is left as the mainstay.
Xu Zongwen's recommendation of Yuan Zhi as the governor of Liangzhou was just a good signal to the gentry, but in fact Hanzhong was still in the hands of Xu Zongwen's own people.
After Zheng Lue led the Swaggering Battalion to Hanzhong, Xu Zongwen surrendered to Yangping Pass. After accepting his fate as Hanzhong Civil and Military, he returned north to Chang'an with Zheng Lue, preparing to inspect the defense of the Third Assistant.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Yu was appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, Qifu Guoren of the Western Qin Dynasty made a sneak attack on Qianxian County and began to attack Fufeng County. Yao Chang, who was stationed in Anding, went south to attack Yongxian County, which was the exit from Hanzhong to Chencang.
Fu Deng, who had always fought to the death with Yao Chang, defended Anding and did not attack Xinping. Instead, he sat back and watched Yao Chang and Qifu Guoren attack Sanfu and threaten Chang'an.
"It seems that our recapture of Chang'an has made them all unite, and the defeated generals also know how to unite vertically and horizontally." After Xu Zongwen got the news, the army had returned to Chang'an City, and Shen Yu prepared a rich reception feast for them. Congratulations on the victory of the Xiaoqi Army in pacifying Hanzhong.
Shen Yu, who was in charge in the west, echoed: "Yes! Our army is dispersed. If the enemy attacks in several directions, we can only divide our troops to defend. We can no longer attack as we did before, coming and going like the wind."
Although the second battalion of the Qiaoqi Army has entered the pass and has reached 20,000 people, it is far from enough to face the defense of many cities in Sanqin!
"Brother, give me five thousand men and I will rush to Fufeng to capture Qifu Guoren and send his head to Chang'an!" Zheng Lue, who was sitting at the table with Shen Yu, stood up and asked for orders.
"Da Sima, my subordinates are also willing to follow Zheng Sima to Fufeng to put down the rebellion in the Western Qin Dynasty!"
"Da Sima, please allow your subordinates to accompany you!"
"Da Sima..."
"Da Sima..."
