Luo Ningxin is well aware of the horror of public opinion, especially those scholars and scholars, who can do many things with the help of the power of public opinion.
The official immediately knelt on the ground and said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask other people present."
"Nowadays, many people in the entire imperial capital are discussing this matter, saying that there are monsters in the country, and all disasters are caused by monsters. The monsters must be killed in order to reverse the fate of the country, make the world peaceful, and the people be healthy!"
An official next to him also agreed: "Wei Chen has also heard about this matter. During dinner this morning, my wife told me that when she went out yesterday, many people were talking about it. Even the children playing on the street were talking about it.
We all know it!”
Someone else said: "As far as I know, Mr. Fang has been in the palace for two years and has been unknown. Suddenly, he changed from a little eunuch to an omnipotent stranger in just a few months.
, there must be a reason for this great reputation, please ask Your Majesty to take a closer look!"
For a time, there were voices of approval, and many people suspected that Fang Chen was this evildoer!
Because when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
Moreover, it is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist.
This also confirms the saying that if more people say something, even if it is false, it will become true as soon as it is said.
Because rumors spread so fast, and some people deliberately spread rumors later, and some related scholars have started to write some articles and spread them!
Fang Chen's huge change is a point of doubt and a handle!
"That's enough!" Luo Ningxin was angry. "You all came from the imperial examination and have read many poems and books. How can you believe this nonsense!"
"These rumors in the market are all deliberately done by some well-intentioned people and cannot be believed!"
"In the past, Fang Chen solved so many difficulties in our Great Yan Dynasty for the sake of the country and the people, didn't you even notice?"
"Anyone who dares to spread rumors indiscriminately, slander Lord Fang, or frame someone up will not be lenient to me!"
However, Luo Ningxin's anger did not scare everyone.
There are also some officials who have a good relationship with Zhang Yu, so of course they will not miss the opportunity.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, there is no storm without fire. Throughout history, every plague has been caused by monsters. Your Majesty, please be careful!"
"Your Majesty, we all have innocent hearts. We care about the court and the people. If public opinion is not suppressed and continues to ferment, and the people's hearts are not moved, and the people's hearts are not above the court, something big will happen sooner or later!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible and a decision must be made. The plague is a big deal, and the public opinion is also a big deal!"
One after another, officials knelt on the ground and begged His Majesty to immediately order an end to this matter.
The same situation as before!
Naturally, Luo Ningxin would not order Fang Chen to be killed.
Seeing that His Majesty was about to get angry, Lu Caihuang hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, I have a message. Since Lord Fang said that the antidote can be developed in three days, why don't we give Lord Fang three days?"
"After three days, if Master Fang cannot develop it, then Your Majesty can kill Fang Chen as you have said."
Being an emperor is not easy either. In many cases, using power and status may not necessarily suppress the ministers.
Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless and decisive, sacrificing many people for the sake of the overall situation.
But Luo Ning is kind-hearted and will not do this. He always puts the interests of the people first.
Luo Ningxin understood what Lu Caihuang meant and adopted her opinion.
"My lords, your worries are not unreasonable. Since Mr. Fang has promised that the antidote can be developed in three days, if I kill Mr. Fang now, can you develop an antidote for me?"
"So, I can only promise you ministers that if Fang Chen develops an antidote in three days, everything will be great and all the people can be saved. We will not be helpless when encountering this kind of disease in the future."
"If no antidote can be developed in three days, I will personally kill Fang Chen and eradicate everyone in the plague area!"
All the ministers were very satisfied with this decision, and no one had any objections.
They gave Fang Chen three days.
After retreating from the court, on the way back to the palace, Luo Ningxin thanked Lu Caihuang: "Today, thank you, Queen, for rescuing me from the siege. I will reward you with a hundred gold coins, jewels and silks."
But Lu Caihuang did not want this: "Thank you for your kindness, your majesty. It is my concubine's duty to assist you. If your majesty wants to reward me, why not come to Kunning Palace tonight."
Luo Ningxin knew that Lu Caihuang asked her to go over and accompany her at night.
Last time, Luo Ningxin asked Fang Chen to sleep with Lu Caihuang for one night on her behalf. Even if Luo Ningxin wanted to fulfill Lu Caihuang's wish, she would have to wait for Fang Chen to come back.
"Queen, I also want to go and accompany you in the evening, but now that the plague is everywhere and there are rumors circulating, I must put state affairs first. After the plague is dealt with, I promise you that I will definitely go to Kunning Palace to accompany you.
"
Once His Majesty opens his mouth, he will naturally not regret it.
Lu Caihuang's brows were filled with joy: "I am the one who has made a sudden move. Recently, Your Majesty has been working hard every day to deal with the plague, which is very hard. I will serve Your Majesty and go to rest."
Luo Ningxin was about to refuse, but after thinking about it, she agreed.
Lu Caihuang sent Luo Ningxin to Qianqing Palace before leaving.
"Your Majesty!" After Lu Caihuang left, Qingluan walked in.
"This is Lord Fang's secret letter, sent by Commander Yang."
Yang Zongchang only obeyed Luo Ningxin's orders. Fang Chen wrote a secret letter and asked Yang Zongchang to bring it over.
This sealed letter is sealed with special colored clay. If someone else opens it, the colored clay will become loose and damaged, and the letter will also be damaged.
Therefore, other people cannot peek into the secret message.
After opening it, the letter was written by Fang Chen, but the words were a bit ugly.
Anyone who reads poetry and books has very high requirements for their own fonts.
Luo Ningxin didn't understand, maybe Fang Chen was an exception.
"Your Majesty, because of the plague, Xiao Chenzi has been sealed in Yanghuafang and cannot go out to serve you. When the plague passes, Xiao Chenzi will definitely serve your majesty well..."
Fang Chen told Luo Ningxin everything that happened.
Moreover, Fang Chen guessed that Zhang Yu was responsible for everything behind this, deliberately creating the plague in order to put him to death!
Previously, Fang Chen wanted to leave Yanghuafang and had a conflict with people from the patrol camp.
The master Qisha sent by Luo Ningxin protected Fang Chen, but was killed by Zhang Shaolong's men.
Now Fang Chen cannot go out because of the infection.
"Zhang Yu!!"
When Luo Ningxin knew that someone was behind the epidemic deliberately, she became furious.
She hit the table in front of her with her palm, and the marble table instantly fell apart and turned into pieces.
Although everything was Fang Chen's guess, Luo Ningxin remembered what happened before and after, and she was already sure.
"His Majesty!"
Qingluan was frightened when she saw His Majesty was furious. When she read the contents of the letter, she was also furious.
"It's so inhumane! It's so heartless!!"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yu used to take advantage of his family's prestige and his position as Minister of Household Affairs to take bribes and bend the law. He just took some money, but he didn't expect that this time he actually caused a plague and took human life lightly. It is an unforgivable crime!"
"Your Majesty, I will go to Taiyuan Hospital right now to kill Zhang Yu and all his accomplices!!"
