Emperor Hongzhi sighed lightly.

Although he was drowsy in the bed, he felt very uncomfortable.

But he could still hear what everyone said.

Now that I am in a state of malfunction, it is difficult to handle state affairs.

But if you don’t deal with it, these civil servants will be relentless and things will only get bigger and bigger.

For the sake of the present, I can only do it as Li Dongyang said.

First, put Zhao Ce in jail and appease everyone.

After the matter is found out, it will be dealt with.

Emperor Hongzhi's voice was weak and he held on his shoulders and said, "Since that's the case."

"Let's deal with it like this for now."

"I will not let you master and disciple suffer in vain."

...

The group of people kneeling outside the Ganqing Palace.

It was only after receiving the affirmative answer from Emperor Hongzhi that it was temporarily calmed down.

Compared to the last time Zhao Ce was taken to Dali Temple.

This time, the imperial prison was obviously more satisfying to them.

Yang Shou is there in Dali Temple.

After last time, they knew that Zhao Ce had gone in, it was equivalent to going home.

Basically, it's a formality.

But the imperial prison is different.

That's the place of Jinyiwei!

Civil officials and Jinyiwei are natural enemies.

Go to the imperial prison.

Even if it is Li Dongyang, Yang Shousu and other bigwigs want to protect him.

It's not that easy either.

Moreover, civil servants or nobles who go in and walk around can basically not be defeated.

It was too late at this time.

Emperor Hongzhi asked someone to bring an oral order, saying that the Japanese will send the Jinyiwei directly to the Dingxi Marquis' Mansion to "invite" people.

Everyone left in groups of three or three.

Emperor Hongzhi also asked Li Dongyang and the other two to go back first, saying that he was not seriously injured.

Just rest for one night, it should be fine.

...

The palace returned to peace.

It's evening.

Emperor Hongzhi's fever subsided slightly.

Gao Tinghe, who was staying at the Imperial Hospital, finally let go of the big heart after learning the news.

He followed the prescription and asked someone to boil the medicine and send it to the Ganqing Palace again.

Then.

So I leisurely asked someone to make the bed and prepare to rest.

Today, after Liu Wentai arrived at the Ganqing Palace, he saw Emperor Hongzhi.

The two of them discussed it.

Although Liu Wentai did not say it clearly, he also suspected that the emperor might have been infected with malaria.

But Gao Tinghe felt it was impossible.

After all, malaria is often found in the south and must be transmitted through mosquitoes.

If mosquitoes in the south really fly to the north, they will definitely have erupted along the way.

I haven't heard of malaria in the south now.

So he thought Liu Wentai's guess was really outrageous.

Although Liu Wentai is Gao Tinghe's immediate boss.

But they belong to the Imperial Hospital.

If he is not sure, he will not easily overturn his colleagues' diagnosis.

Therefore, although he doubted, he was only at the stage of doubt.

Didn't say it blatantly.

Plague is a disease.

They didn't know the source of the disease, and they didn't dare to draw this conclusion at will.

Now that he heard that the emperor's health had improved, Gao Tinghe completely felt relieved.

"malaria……"

"If Your Majesty is infected with malaria, the day will not collapse?"

Gao Tinghe muttered and lay down on the bed where he was sleeping on duty.

...

early morning.

The curfew has just been lifted.

The entire capital slowly woke up in the dark sky.

Some early people are already ready to open their shops to do business in the dark sky.

at this time.

clatter……

clatter……

clatter……

A rapid sound of horse hooves sounded outside the city gate.

The gatekeepers were about to ask.

The person riding on the horse over there had already raised the token in his hand and shouted loudly: "Urgent report! Urgent report!"

"Get out of here quickly!"

The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to delay, so they quickly released the token after verifying the token.

After passing, the dirt-filled knights ran towards the palace and rushed over.

Now it is when officials go to the yamen to work, and there are sedan chairs and carriages on the streets.

Hearing the urgent news, the officials who were heading to the yamen quickly asked their means of transportation to the side, and waited for the urgent news to come over first.

...

At this time, the Tongzhengsi Office.

Only a sixth-rank official wearing a green robe came.

The knight who was rushing to the emergency report shouted loudly all the way and finally arrived at the Tongzhengsi Office.

At this time, the knight was already hoarse in his voice, but he was still trying his best to shout while walking.

"Urgent report!"

"Urgent report!"

"The Fujian Governor sent an urgent report that the plague was found in Fujian port, where is the Jinyiwei who came back from Fujian port?"

plague?

When the official on duty heard this, he was shocked.

"What plague?"

When asked, the official's voice was trembling.

"malaria!"
