An urgent matter?

Emperor Hongzhi paused for a moment when he got up, and sat back on his original position.

"Prince!"

The Attendant Hanlin walked up quickly and gave a big gift in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the 540,000 taels of tax silver transported by Nanzhili were robbed at sea!"

"The tax department responsible for escorting all the people apologized for guilt and wrote a letter to him, please make a decision!"

Tax silver robbed?

Still 540,000 taels!

This is the second time that the commercial tax was levied from Nanzhili after the raising of commercial tax last year.

A total of 540,000 taels.

As the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty, Nanzhili was the place where the Ming Dynasty collected the most commercial taxes.

After the beginning of spring this year, the ice and snow melted and the Yellow River flooded several places.

After the tax is shipped, it will be distributed to provide disaster relief immediately.

Last year, the transformation of grain into sea achieved good results, so Emperor Hongzhi asked people to use sea transportation and sent additional troops to protect it.

But this large amount of silver that was heavily protected was robbed halfway?

With so many officers and soldiers and boats guarding, how could they dare to attack even if they were pirates?

Who is so brave that he even dares to rob the taxes and silver of the court?

It's a rebellion!

Emperor Hongzhi frowned when he heard this.

"Where are you being robbed and how are you robbed?"

"Where are the people from the Taxation Division? The Ministry of War sent people to protect them along the way, and what are the people sent?"

He said something with obvious anger.

After saying that, I always felt that my breathing was a little uncomfortable.

The Attorney Hanlin quickly said, "Your Majesty, the tax silver was stolen by pirates when he passed by Qingzhou."

"We have suffered more than a dozen guard soldiers, but we still have not protected the tax silver."

"After receiving the news, the Taxation Department and General Ying Tian, ​​who was in charge of escort, immediately submitted a report and sent ships to search nearby."

"But... the search was fruitless."

"General Yingtian, Huoqian, is now docking in Qingzhou, and is searching for pirates day and night with the Qingzhou guards."

“…”

The waiter Hanlin kept explaining the reason for the matter quickly.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard him, he felt dizzy and unable to think.

At this time.

Another notice came from outside.

"My minister of War Liu Daxia."

"I am Zhang Hai, the Minister of War."

"Please see your Majesty!"

Emperor Hongzhi suppressed his physical discomfort and also announced that they came in.

Liu Daxia also had obvious anxiety on her face.

He suddenly received such news in front of the Ministry of War.

Liu Daxia quickly saluted, not caring about his physical illness and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I have just received an urgent report, and the taxable silver was robbed!"

"This time, the Ministry of War issued an order to send General Yingtian to lead 3,000 troops and more than 30 official ships to protect and transport them."

"Even pirates, it is impossible for them to dare to attack our Ming Dynasty official ship."

"There must be something strange about this!"

After Liu Daxia finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi, who was in charge, did not speak.

Zhang Hai, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, added: "Your Majesty, please take people to Qingzhou in person, be sure to find out the matter!"

“……”

"Ahem......"

A shocking cough suddenly sounded in the hall.

Everyone looked up quickly.

But when he saw Emperor Hongzhi's normal face suddenly turned pale.

After that earth-shaking cough, Emperor Hongzhi was obviously devoid of energy.

He pressed his hand against his forehead a little drowsy and said, "Zhang Aiqing..."

“Go and check…”

When Liu Daxia saw Emperor Hongzhi's appearance, he quickly said, "Phone the Imperial Doctor first!"

"Your Majesty's dragon body is important!"

The eunuch next to him helped Emperor Hongzhi stand up and found that his hands were cold.

The coldness made the person who was holding him shocked.

He came back to his senses and quickly said, "Your Majesty is ill in the dragon body, hurry up the dragon chariot!"

Soon, a eunuch carried the emperor's chariot into the hall.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was already groggy. As his mouth opened and closed, he could only barely spit out a few words that he couldn't hear clearly.

Liu Daxia was shocked.

"quick!"

"You take people to Qingzhou and deal with this matter yourself."

"Anyway, we must find out the truth in a short time!"

After saying to Zhang Hai, he turned around and ordered again.

"Send someone to notify the three cabinet masters, the Nine Ministers and the Hanlin Academy, and say that Your Majesty is ill in the dragon body."

After Liu Daxia gave the order, everyone in the hall took the order and went down to do it.

He came to his senses and felt sweat in his palms.

"Your Majesty is now in his prime, so he should be just infected with the cold..."

He calmed down his mind, and quickly carried his official robe and ran towards the Ganqing Palace regardless of his body.

He had to ask the imperial physician clearly and see what happened to His Majesty before he could feel at ease...

......

The Imperial Hospital at this time.

Today, the person who was on duty was Gao Tinghe, the imperial physician who had followed Liu Wentai to Tongzhou.

Previously, in Tongzhou, the Imperial Hospital judged that Liu Wentai was vaccinated by Dingxi Hou's vaccination with cowpox.

He was pulled to stay in Tongzhou for two months.

When all the people in Tongzhou were vaccinated with cowpox, they were allowed to return to the capital.

Other imperial doctors were sent to learn how to inoculate cowpox.

Gao Tinghe picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of the tea.

“It smells so good…”

After he sighed, he casually sorted out some of the prescriptions he had prescribed in the past few years.

Time is so leisurely.

However, the Imperial Hospital received an urgent report at this time.

"Your Majesty is ill in the dragon body. Where is the imperial doctor on duty? Go to the Ganqing Palace to treat Your Majesty quickly!"

After hearing this, Gao Tinghe did not dare to delay.

Immediately, carrying my medicine box, and rushed to the Ganqing Palace with the medicine boy.

His Majesty is not in good health because he was a child, so his physique has never been very good.

Over the years, their imperial doctors have also spent a lot of effort to help him take care of his body.
