"Your Majesty, Yang Zhaolu, the governor of Qianzhou Prefecture, has sent a message."
Hearing this, Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Yang Zhaolu would send someone late at night.
"What did Yang Zhaolu send people to do?"
Although he didn't know why Yang Zhaolu sent people to Shangzhou, he must have something to do if he came to him at such a late hour.
Chen Jue summoned people from Qianzhou.
The person who came was Lu Jing, Yang Zhaolu's clerk, whom Chen Jue had met.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty." In the room, Lu Jing bowed to Chen Jue respectfully.
"No need to be polite, Qing Lu, just get up."
Chen Jue looked at him and asked, "Lu Qing came from Qianzhou to see me late at night, but what's the important matter?"
Lu Jing handed over a memorial.
Chen Jue read it and threw the memorial on the table.
"I ask you, is the content in the memorial true?" Chen Jue's eyes darkened and he stared seriously at Lu Jing below.
"Your Majesty, it's true. There is indeed an epidemic in Shangzhou."
Lu Jing handed over his hand, facing His Majesty's faint anger, he did not dare to hide anything.
"Shortly after His Majesty left Qianzhou yesterday, our government received orders from people who had fled the epidemic from Shangzhou.
Within half a day, they first vomited and then developed high fever. After the doctor confirmed, it was indeed an epidemic. "
Vomit? High fever?
These symptoms were exactly the same as those of the imperial concubine, so Chen Jue had to be cautious.
Lu Jing added: "Although the governor of Shangzhou did not know why the governor of Shangzhou did not report the epidemic, he was worried about your majesty's danger, so he specially ordered his ministers to come and inform your majesty overnight."
Just at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Su Xing hurried in, panting heavily, and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Shang, there is an epidemic in Shangzhou!"
Chen Jue glanced at him calmly and quickly took the survey from Wei Wei's hand.
Su Xing didn't expect His Majesty to be in no hurry at all. It was a deadly epidemic.
Su Xing, who was afraid of His Majesty's failure and did not notice Lu Jing and Wei Wei at all, said again: "Your Majesty, there is really an epidemic in Shangzhou. Let's leave Shangzhou as soon as possible!"
If they don't leave, when the epidemic breaks out in full force, it will be too late for them to leave even if they want to.
By then, he would be trapped in Shangzhou, and there would be a risk of contracting the epidemic at any time.
Su Xing was crying in his heart. He hadn't married yet and had no children, so he couldn't die!
"His Majesty--"
When Su Xing was still urging his majesty to leave quickly, Lu Jing on the side coughed twice and said: "Su Shangqing, your majesty already knows."
At this moment, Su Xing noticed Lu Jing, looked at Wei Wei again, and asked Wei Wei quietly, "Have you also found out about the epidemic in Shangzhou?"
Wei Wei glanced at him indifferently and continued to stand there like a wooden pile.
Su Xing already knew Wei Wei's temper and was not angry, but he already had the answer in his heart.
As the former commander of the secret guards and now the commander of Zhijinwu, I am afraid that what he found was no less than what he found.
as expected.
After reading the contents of the investigation in his hand, Chen Jue was so angry that he suddenly closed the memorial in his hand and said furiously, "Liu Zhong, please immediately send a message to Li Qing, the magistrate of Shangzhou Prefecture, to come see me!"
At this moment, Li Qing didn't know that a disaster was about to happen, and he was sleeping in Rouwenxiang.
"Dong-dong-dong! Dang-dong-dong!"
Thinking of the violent knocking on the door outside, Li Qing immediately got angry and said, "Who is it? It's such a disturbing thing at night that I can't even sleep!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the room was kicked open by someone from the outside with a bang. Li Qing, who was so frightened that he wanted to continue sleeping well, suddenly woke up.
Li Qing obviously didn't look good when he saw the person coming, "Commander Wei, even if you are someone close to His Majesty, you can't break into my house like this!"
Li Qing looked at the crumbling door and added: "You kicked down my door, I will definitely give you a copy in front of His Majesty——"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a sword across his neck. Li Qing's face changed in fright, and he swallowed it immediately.
"Commander Wei, if you have something to say, it's easy to say something. This sword has no eyes. If you get hurt, it's hard to say anything."
He had heard that the commander beside His Majesty killed without batting an eyelid and was cold and ruthless. Why did he just yell at him?
Wei Wei glanced at him coldly, "Li Fuling, if you have anything to say, you'd better talk to His Majesty!"
After saying that, he pushed him, and soon someone came in and took down Li Qing.
Li Qing had never seen such a battle before, and he was shocked and scared.
When he arrived, before Li Qing could cry, Chen Jue said directly: "Li Qing, you are so brave!"
Li Qing was stunned by these words.
"Why didn't you report the epidemic in Shangzhou?" Chen Jue pointed at the memorial on the ground and said angrily.
Li Qing, who was still in a dazed state, was dazed again when he heard this, and then he felt panic and panic. How did His Majesty know?
But can he admit it? Obviously not!
Li Qing's face changed, he was shocked, and he acted like he just knew it, "What? There is an epidemic in Shangzhou sometimes? How can there be an epidemic sometimes? Your Majesty, you can't be deceived!"
In short, he just couldn't admit that he had known about the epidemic for a long time!
Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Chen Jue was extremely angry.
You Li Qing, you just refuse to repent, but you actually act like you don’t know anything!
"Okay! That's great!"
Chen Jue raised the corner of his mouth and stared at Li Qing with a smile.
The next moment, he flicked his sleeves and threw the memorial on the table directly in front of Li Qing, "I don't know? Then you should take a closer look at what this is?"
As the papers were flying, Chen Jue angrily shouted, "Is this because you don't know anything about it?"
Li Qing glanced at the words on the paper on the ground and suddenly turned pale.
He no longer cared about anything, his legs went weak, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to apologize, "I am guilty and I am sorry to your Majesty..."
Chen Jue said with a sarcastic smile: "It is clearly written here that you, Li Qing, the magistrate of Shangzhou Prefecture, knew about the epidemic a month ago but did not report it. Instead, you drove the people who had the epidemic out of Shangzhou City.
When they learned that I was coming to Shangzhou, they even locked up those people suffering from high fever.
Firstly, you don't seek medical treatment, and secondly, you don't give them food, clothing, decoctions and medicines, leaving them to fend for themselves. Is this your duty as the governor of Shangzhou? "
"What?" As soon as Chen Jue said this, Su Xing and Lu Jing were shocked. Although they knew about the epidemic, they never expected that Li Qing would not treat patients with the epidemic.
Especially Su Xing, who had just learned that there was an epidemic in Shangzhou, was even more unexpected.
Listening to what His Majesty read out, Li Qing felt a knot in his heart and suddenly felt that the sky was falling.
It’s over, it’s really over this time!
If he had known that he would not have listened to Cen Qing's words, Li Qing regretted it so much now, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I should not have failed to report the epidemic in Shangzhou..."
Chen Jue was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Qing. He waved his hand and said, "Li Qing, the capital of Shangzhou, does not seek political power in his position. His body is left without food. He will be dismissed immediately and investigated. Thirty years of fighting!"
