Emperor Zhengxuan gritted his teeth, and his cheeks kept trembling. He didn't know whether he was in pain or because he was angry at what the Minister of Staff just said.
"When was the news delivered? How is the situation in the capital?" Emperor Zhengxuan said in a calm voice, holding back the pain.
Since he asked the prince to supervise the country, then the news of the trouble in the south must have been delivered to the capital first. If the prince was capable and could handle it, then the news would not have been delivered to him at all, unless...
The prince can't handle this at all!
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help but close his eyes in disappointment.
"Your Majesty, the news is that we delivered it to the capital on the third day after setting off from the capital. However, the refugees were all infected with the plague. Although the prince asked Cui Shuai to send troops to surround Jingzhou City, they occupied Jingzhou City and could not leave.
Cui Shuai can't do anything to them!" Shi Bin frowned and looked at Emperor Zhengxuan helplessly.
Besides, those refugees have all been infected with the plague. Who dares to mess with them? They have to hide far away. Although Cui Shuai has surrounded Jingzhou City on the prince's order, Cui Shuai is not a good person to let him attack the city.
Fool, how could he let his soldiers run in and die!
unless……
As soon as this thought appeared in Shi Bin's mind, he immediately shook his head and killed it!
"Besides sending Cui Jingzhi to surround Jingzhou City, what else did the prince do?" Emperor Zhengxuan said again with a sullen face.
After hearing what Emperor Zhengxuan said, Li Bin pursed his lips stiffly, "Prince, Prince..."
Just when Shi Bin hesitated and didn't know how to answer, a deep voice suddenly sounded outside the room, "I want your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have something important to report!"
Emperor Zhengxuan frowned and was about to get angry when Lu Zhan suddenly looked at Emperor Zhengxuan and said, "Grandpa, this is my uncle outside. He should have something important to report to you."
Looking at Lu Zhan, Emperor Zhengxuan immediately remembered what the two of them had not finished talking about just now.
Could it be that Lu Yan really discovered something?
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengxuan immediately said to Liu Gonggong, "Go and let him in!"
"Yes." Eunuch Liu responded, and then quickly stepped back. After a while, he led the prince Dingguo in.
"Your Majesty, I have just received a secret message from Commander Cui. The city of Jingzhou is in chaos!" Prince Dingguo immediately held the secret message in his hand to Emperor Zhengxuan as soon as he came in.
I thought he was going to talk about Ning'an, but he didn't expect to talk about Jingzhou. Although Emperor Zhengxuan was a little unhappy, it was about Jingzhou, and it was Cui Jingzhi who asked someone to hand it over...
It seems that the Jingzhou Rebellion is more serious than imagined!
but……
"Why would Cui Jingzhi deliver a letter to you?" Emperor Zhengxuan looked at the Crown Prince Dingguo with a sullen face.
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Cui Shuai and Wei Chen both served under my father. Moreover, Cui Shuai also sent two letters back to the capital before. But... Your Majesty, you should read the letters!" Duke Dingguo said.
The prince hurriedly handed the letter to Emperor Zhengxuan again.
This old loach, the whole south is in such chaos, and he is still doubting his relationship with Cui Jingzhi!
Prince Dingguo cursed secretly in his heart.
Seeing the naive look of Prince Dingguo, Emperor Zhengxuan pursed his lips and finally extended his hand to him.
Prince Dingguo quickly unfolded the letter, and while handing it to Emperor Zhengxuan, he said with a grimace, "Wei Chen originally thought it was strange that this guy suddenly remembered to write to Wei Chen, but who would have thought that Jingzhou
There was such a big mess in the city. He said in the letter that the prince ordered him to set fire to the entire Jingzhou city, but Your Majesty, there were tens of thousands of people in Jingzhou city! How could this happen? But the prince kept doing it
Pressed, he had no choice but to secretly deliver the letter to Wei Chen..."
The Crown Prince Dingguo was talking so eloquently that he completely forgot that except for Emperor Zhengxuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Doctor Wang were all present in the room...
Emperor Zhengxuan was obviously shocked by the contents of Cui Jingzhi's letter!
The prince actually ordered the city to be burned down!
Tens of thousands of people! Isn't he afraid that this move will arouse public anger and cause a mutiny?
Shi Bin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, looked equally good. He lowered his head and stared at his toes with an expressionless expression. He couldn't tell what he felt.
The prince is actually planning to do this stupid trick!
There are tens of thousands of living lives in Jingzhou city! How could he ignore these tens of thousands of lives! He is the prince! He is the crown prince! He is the future monarch of the Wei Dynasty! How can he ignore his own people like this?
!
And Xu Shoufu, does he also agree with the prince's foolish move?
At this moment, Shi Bin's heart surged. He was completely desperate for the prince, the prince!
With such a prince, how can the Wei Dynasty have any future! And these ministers, let alone them! Although His Majesty is suspicious and jealous today, at least he can handle such important matters clearly, unlike the prince...
He had never heard of a monarch ordering his own people to be burned to death!
Looking at the black and white words in his hand, Emperor Zhengxuan's hands kept shaking. He really couldn't believe the facts stated in the letter...
Yes, he knew that the prince didn't have much talent, but he still had Xu Shoufu by his side! How could he let the prince do such nonsense!
But the Crown Prince Dingguo seemed not to notice Emperor Zhengxuan's trembling hands. He continued with a grimace, "Your Majesty, you must stop the Crown Prince! Cui Shuai can hardly withstand the Crown Prince's pressure.
!His Majesty……"
"This, this traitor!" Emperor Zhengxuan finally couldn't hold it back. He gritted his teeth and shouted this sentence, then tilted his head and fainted completely.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
"Grandpa!"
In an instant, the room became a mess.
Several imperial doctors looked around Emperor Zhengxuan and looked again. After finally confirming that Emperor Zhengxuan was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, Emperor Zhengxuan was in a coma. It was impossible to explain what happened in the paddock today or what happened in the south.
, the Minister of Libu and the Crown Prince Dingguo looked at each other, and then they walked out of the house tacitly.
"Your Majesty, you sent this message in such a timely manner!" As soon as he left the hunting palace, Shi Bin couldn't wait to speak to the Crown Prince Dingguo.
Prince Dingguo frowned, and then he sighed heavily, looked at Shi Bin with a sincere face and said, "But, as soon as I read the content of the letter, I quickly rushed to the hunting palace.
, I'm afraid that it will delay the matter if it is too late! After all, tens of thousands of lives are at stake, and I wish I had two wheels under my feet, hey!" Prince Dingguo sighed again, and at the end, he seemed to suddenly think of something.
Yes, he hurriedly raised his head and said to Mr. Shi, "By the way, why is Mr. Shi in His Majesty's room? Could it be that he has some clues about what happened in the paddock today?"
Shi Bin's heart froze when he was asked by Prince Dingguo!
Naturally, he also came here for things in the south, but...
Compared to Prince Dingguo, what he knew was just scratching the surface! And what happened in the paddock today...
I don’t know how Qin Tian Jian calculates the days, so why all these bad things happened in one day! Your Majesty is in this situation now. Even if he wants to rush back to the capital to take charge of the overall situation, I’m afraid he is powerless!
Now that the two things were intertwined, Shi Bin felt like his head was getting big!
"Prince, according to you, what should we do now!" Although he was very reluctant, under the current circumstances, the only person Shi Bin could discuss with was Prince Dingguo!
As for King Qi...
Shi Bin didn't even count him among those who could negotiate.
"Master Shi, why are you asking me? I don't care about anything when I'm free! At this time, shouldn't you go to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment to discuss it with the two ministers!" Prince Dingguo looked puzzled.
Written by Shi Bindao.
"Your Majesty, of course, this matter should be reported to the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment. But, you know, even if they know about it, they can't do anything about it. After all, we are not in the capital now! There are many things that are beyond our reach even if we have the intention!" Shi
Bin said with a grimace.
Although he is not an honest and good official, tens of thousands of lives are at stake. Even if he is not a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, as a human being, he should not just watch this kind of thing happen!
Your Majesty is now seriously injured and unconscious, and the Crown Prince is aggressive. Cui Shuai can delay it even for a while. Since the Crown Prince has made up his mind and Cui Shuai doesn't move, he will naturally send someone else to go! He is now the crown prince who oversees the country.
His orders are equivalent to those of the crown prince. Cui Shuai refuses to obey his orders, but there are many people who are willing to obey his orders!
This is what he is most worried about now!
Seeing that the anxiety on Shi Bin's face didn't seem to be fake, Prince Dingguo couldn't help but chuckle slightly, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Shi, you would have such a kind-hearted heart that cares about the country and the people!"
"
Shi Bin blushed at the words of Duke Dingguo. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly. Although he was a little embarrassed, he had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, although I am not a good person, I am not a good person.
He is definitely not a vicious and cold-blooded bad guy! How many people in this world can remain indifferent in the face of tens of thousands of lives?"
Shi Bin’s words definitely come from the bottom of his heart!
He also studied hard in Hanchuang and climbed up from the bottom step by step. When he was young, he also determined to be a good official who asked for orders. Although as he got older, he gradually lost his way, but even if he lost his
He had his original intention, but in the face of tens of thousands of lives, he still wanted to try and fight for it...
In this way, he can be considered worthy of his decades as an official!
Prince Dingguo's eyes moved, he glanced at Shi Bin, and finally pursed his lips and said, "Master Shi, who gave you the news?"
"It was delivered by my confidant who stayed in the capital. What's wrong? Is the information wrong?" Shi Bin looked at the crown prince Dingguo in surprise.
A person with his status, no matter where he goes, will always leave a few close friends to guard his home. Otherwise, if someone takes advantage of the loophole and destroys his home, then he will cry to death!
Unexpectedly, this time, the old nest was not exposed, but such a shocking thing suddenly happened in the capital!
After hearing what Shi Bin said, Prince Dingguo smiled coldly and said, "Master Shi, even you have received the news secretly delivered from the capital, but your Majesty knows nothing about it. What do you think?
