Chapter 411 Exploded
Chu Fuxin had only been here for a short time, and was a little bit incredulous for a moment, but at this time of day, most people would not suspect that someone would falsely pass on an order, but since it was an order: "Does your Excellency have the prince's order?"
The mobilization of soldiers and generals requires a military token, and now all of them obey King Huai, and they can only evacuate when King Huai gives the order. Without saying a word, Shen Zhizhuo took out a handwritten daily edict, on which was stamped King Huai's seal for dispatching generals and soldiers, as well as King Huai's private seal. Chu Fuxin took it and said nothing after saying anything.
After Shen Zhizhuo finished all this, he knew that time was running out. Soon, Lord Wang came. He still looked a little guilty at this moment. He found something to report to King Huai and asked him to leave. Shen Zhizhuo went into King Huai's study on the pretext of reporting to King Huai again. This was how the warrant came about. This was a thorough disobedience, but it was done. "I will personally plead guilty to the emperor, Lord Wang. Thank you for this matter. I won't mention you if the prince wants to blame me."
Lord Wang really didn't want to do it before. He was betting that the emperor would not blame him after knowing about this. But if Shen Zhizhuo just transferred the garrisoned civilians to do this, it would be considered disobedience, which was not a big deal. But now it is a private false order, which is a big deal. But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Shen, don't say anything. It's already been done. Sooner or later, the prince will not be able to hide it. Do you want Lord Shen to bear the responsibility alone?"
If Shen Zhizhuo had not said this, Lord Wang would not have dared. Now that he said this, thinking about the whole story, he had read the books of sages for so many years, and had wasted so much of his ambition in the officialdom. Seeing such an upright person like Shen Zhizhuo, he felt a little bit of blood in his heart. At this moment, he really admired Shen Zhizhuo.
He took a deep breath and said, "I will bear the burden with you. I will risk it all." After a pause, he still asked a little embarrassedly, "Master Shen, there is something I don't know whether I should ask you or not."
Of course, Shen Zhizhuo said, "Master Wang, please feel free to speak."
Lord Wang was really embarrassed to speak, but on this day, he needed a little courage, and then he looked at Shen Zhizhuo eagerly and asked: "Do Lord Shen and Empress Xianfei have a good relationship?"
The implication is that if something happens, will the virtuous concubine rescue you first?
Shen Zhizhuo: “…”
Chu Fuxin had gone and came back, so naturally he had to report to King Huai. When King Huai saw Chu Fuxin coming back, he was surprised: "Why did General Chu come back?"
Chu Fuxin was also confused: "Didn't the prince issue an order to summon me back?"
He immediately took out the warrant that Shen Zhizhuo had given him and told him what had just happened. King Huai read the warrant and asked the two guards at the gate. When they learned that Shen Zhizhuo had been there, they immediately understood what Shen Zhizhuo had done. He was furious and said, "Go and arrest Shen Zhizhuo."
Chu Fuxin also realized that he had been deceived and immediately turned around to catch Shen Zhizhuo.
King Huai was so angry that he smashed things. Shen Zhizhuo had been saying that he was going to release the flood every day. Didn't King Huai know what he was going to do now? He just hoped that the dam was still intact, but things went against his wishes. The people were caught and the dam had already exploded.
Prince Huai was so angry that he wanted to kill Shen Zhizhuo, but he couldn't. The court officials could not be killed at will. The officials in trouble at this time would be sent to the Ministry of Justice in the capital for trial just like those corrupt officials in Jinzhou. They had no choice but to be locked up. Shen Zhizhuo and Lord Wang were sent to prison.
Things had already happened and King Huai had no choice but to ask other people to look after it. The people who came back reported that after the flood was released, the originally tight water level had indeed receded. At least there was no need to worry about the flood. Now they only had to control the plague and be responsible for reconstruction.
King Huai knew that Shen Zhizhuo's method was effective, but the embankment, fields and houses were not saved. These were all problems! He was overwhelmed, but now he could focus on the plague.
There was good news after this incident. The imperial physician had developed a prescription that could cure the plague. The plague was already under control and the number of people falling ill had not increased. Now that there was a prescription, the number of sick people naturally improved a lot. The plague was under control, the flood had receded, and the heavy rain was still falling. It was only a matter of time before we could get through this difficult time.
The next month, Xuanyuan Ling received a memorial from King Huai stating that the situation in Jinzhou had improved greatly and that it was already being rebuilt. However, he also mentioned that Shen Zhizhuo had disobeyed his false order and recalled the soldiers stationed at the dike, stealing and using his seal for private purposes. Xuanyuan Ling raised an eyebrow when he saw this. He did not expect that Shen Zhizhuo was involved in this and that he had been imprisoned.
Xuanyuan Ling thought that he was afraid of being punished, so he wanted to hide it from Shen Qing, but he thought that people would know it when they came back, so he ordered Zhao Hai: "Go and invite Concubine Xian over."
Zhao Hai was still confused. He watched the emperor read the memorial from Prince Huai, first happy, then frowning, and then wanted to summon Concubine Xian. But no matter whether he wanted to get through or not, he still had to find the person.
Chen Qing also came when she heard the news. Xuanyuan Ling was still reviewing memorials. Normally, she didn't come here often, but when she came, Xuanyuan Ling didn't hide anything and casually handed the memorial written by King Huai to Chen Qing.
Zhao Hai was horrified as he read it. After all, it was a memorial to the emperor's grave, and he showed it to the virtuous concubine like this. Fortunately, no one dared to spread it out, otherwise the censors would have kept giving advice one after another.
Shen Qing thought that Xuanyuan Ling would not discuss anything with her about the government affairs, so if he showed it to her, it must be related to her, and then she saw what happened to Shen Zhizhuo and couldn't help but frowned.
"What does the emperor plan to do about this?"
Xuanyuan Ling saw that she had no intention of begging for mercy: "I don't think Shen Zhizhuo would do this for no reason. Don't worry, I will let King Huai take him back to the capital. It won't cause him any serious trouble, but I'm afraid he will suffer these days."
A special order was given that when Shen Zhizhuo returned to the capital, he must at least not be missing any limbs. After such an incident, Xuanyuan Ling could see that King Huai was still brooding over it. After all, he was young and impatient, and he was afraid that he would torture him.
Shen Qing sighed: "When he did it himself, he must have known that he would suffer. The emperor will punish him later. He dared to do such a thing. He is too brave."
Xuanyuan Ling saw that she was in a good mood, but was afraid that she was feeling uncomfortable and stressed: "Don't leave, stay here with me."
