Chapter 19 Report to Your Majesty, there is news on the front line!
"Sir, you have learned bad things and always stared at them."
At the gate of Qingyuan County, several tall and beautiful young women covered their small mouths and teased.
Chen Yuan's old face turned red and he raised his face to scold him.
"Why are you laughing? Rehearse quickly. The heroes who fought malaria are back. Do you hear a good dance? "
"I heard it!" The women laughed even louder.
"Oh, don't be Noko..."
Chen Yuan shook his head with his hands behind his back and turned away.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Erlangzi ran and shouted: County Master, Xiao Taohong and the others are back!
"I'm finally back!"
Chen Yuan was excited and greeted him with firecrackers and gongs and drums.
"Sir, we're back!"
As soon as Xiao Taohong and others met, they knelt on the ground, with a hint of sob in their words.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
Chen Yuan also had red eyes. Although malaria is not as terrible as the plague, it is also extremely contagious.
It can be said that the little Taohong ten people went there at the risk of their lives.
He helped everyone up one by one, and Chen Yuan nodded in emotion: It's okay, we are all back safely.
Let's go, I'll invite you to a full donkey banquet.
"No, sir, this is the golden sword given to you by General Wang Xiaojie, and I will let me tell you.
He wrote down this favor."
"Haha, General is so polite, why are you so embarrassed?" Chen Yuan rubbed his hands, took the golden sword, put it beside his mouth and chewed it.
Pooh!
He spit out the golden paint from his mouth, Chen Yuan said furiously: What a bullshit golden sword, isn’t it just a layer of iron lumps of gold powder?
This prince is too stingy.
Sir...this?
Xiao Taohong and others were stunned. No one expected that County Magistrate Chen would curse Wang Xiaojie in public.
I realized that I was a little out of control and Chen Yuan coughed.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether the golden sword has it or not. We mainly earn money from protective clothing and cover cloth."
"I guess I made a lot of money this time, right?"
"Sir, you didn't say you wanted money. Didn't you say you would do good deeds?" Xiao Taohong said with an innocent look on her face.
"The soldiers are grateful to you."
Chen Yuan covered his chest and said: You mean we didn't make a penny, and we even built tens of thousands of cover cloths, right?
Xiao Taohong nodded.
you!
Chen Yuan only felt the darkness in front of his eyes and his body fell backwards.
Oh my God, I have worked hard and not only did I make money but also lost tens of thousands of yuan.
This is a true prodigal act.
"Ah, no! The sir has fainted, hurry up and pinch the person!" Someone shouted, and the originally lively celebration meeting suddenly became a mess.
In the crowded state, Chen Yuan told Zhubu Zhao: Tell the county that he would keep Wang Xiaojie’s debts in mind and that no interest could be lost...
Just when Shen Yuan was carried back to the county government, Wu Zetian, who was hundreds of miles away, was also uncomfortable.
The last urgent report sent by Helan Mountain Post was five days ago, and the letter said that the army was infected with malaria by as many as 30,000.
If the imperial court did not send the medicinal materials to the front camp, the soldiers of the three armies would be left with a dead end.
By then, the four Anxi towns and even the entire Western Region border defense will be exposed to the Turks and Khitan cavalry.
What worries Wu Zetian the most was that there had been no urgent report from Helan Mountain Post for five days, which meant that General Wang Xiaojie had lost the ability to write memorials.
When Wu Zetian thought of the tens of thousands of troops of the Right Eagle Yanggu, she felt a panic for no reason...
"Your Majesty, I have this report."
Wu Sansi, who had been observing the emperor under the steps, stood out from the queue when he saw that the temperature was almost done.
"speak!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Sansi cleared his throat and said: Recently, General Wang Xiaojie sent ten urgent delivery messages in a row, asking the court to reinforce medicinal materials.
However, half a month later, the imperial court not only did not purchase medicinal materials, but also did not even need silver.
I believe that at this critical moment, a minister with outstanding capabilities must come forward and be fully responsible for this matter in order to relieve the malaria problem.
A hint of imperceptible ridicule flashed across Wu Zetian's mouth and said lightly: Let's hear, which minister has this ability?
"When you go back to your Majesty, I recommend Youzhou Chief Tongyuan, who is calm and has the style of being a magistrate of the border.
"If he is held accountable, he can ensure that the army is safe and sound."
After saying that, Wu Sansi knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.
When the gangsters behind him saw the prince speak, they immediately knelt down and shouted.
"Please accept your kindness!"
Wu Zetian's face looked extremely ugly, and his palms hidden in his sleeves were tightly clasped together. Wu Sansi was clearly trying to force the palace.
Taking advantage of the fact that the front-line army was deeply trapped in malaria, he helped Tong Yuan to the position of governor of Youzhou.
This move is not poisonous!
"Your Majesty, what King Liang said is not credible. As far as I know, when Tong Yuan was the chief minister in Youzhou, he relied on the support of the prince to openly beat the official to death."
"I have been bullying men and dominating women for nearly ten years, which has caused resentment from the local people. I dare not speak out. If such a person is promoted to the governor of Youzhou, it may damage the majesty of the court."
Zhou Guangdou, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, stood up and said.
"That's right, Your Majesty, Tong Yuan is definitely not worthy of great use. I am willing to recommend Wang Wenhua, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, to be the governor of Youzhou."
"With his ability, once he takes office, he can completely save the army from water and fire." Another old minister of Li Tang stood up and said fiercely.
Looking at the two sides who were trapped in the quarrel, Wu Zetian sighed softly.
This is her minister.
For their own interests, I would rather die in malaria than give in.
At this moment, Wu Zetian felt a little tired.
Huang Shengyan hasn't come back for so long, which means that the artemisinin in the sinking source has failed. Whether she wants to or not, she has to compromise with those below.
"Forget it, I am the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since I have believed Chen Yuan incorrectly, I should pay the price!"
Wu Zetian shook his head mockingly and stood up from the dragon throne.
Just as he was about to appoint Tong Yuan, an eunuch suddenly stumbled into the hall, kneeling on the ground and shouting.
"Report to Your Majesty, there is news on the front line!
"Suppose it to your Majesty!"
When the ministers saw the anxious look of the eunuch, they guessed that something must have happened to the front line camp.
It just puts pressure on the emperor to agree to the candidate for Youzhou governor.
Shangguan Wan'er took the urgent delivery and submitted it to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian opened his face pale and made a quick reply, his pupils suddenly dilated, then raised his head to look at the ministers, returned to the dragon throne and read carefully.
When the ministers saw the emperor's reaction, they were all confused and somehow couldn't understand why the emperor was so calm.
Shouldn't we be sad about the tragic situation of the soldiers of the three armies?
"Your Highness, do you think the army is dead from illness? The emperor is stimulated?" Hu Yunshan, the young minister of Dali Temple, asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, I think it's a heavy loss." Wu Sansi frowned and replied.
a long time.
Wu Zetian put down the urgent handover and beat the big case.
Chapter completed!
