Chapter 585 Death News
After the news of Jiang Yunzhou's death reached the capital, the emperor was shocked and fell ill again.
Imperial Physician Wei saved the emperor's life, and from then on he became the emperor's most trusted imperial physician.
Not long after, General Meng was defeated by Wei's army and joined it.
It was not until this time that people in the world knew that the new god of war who was invincible on the border a year ago was actually the young master of the Wei family at that time - the playboy who was ignorant and spent his days in debauchery.
It turns out that the young prince knew that the royal family was suspicious, so he pretended to be a playboy. Now he doesn't need to pretend anymore and shows his true strength.
The General Zhenbei originally had a history with the Wei family, and now that he has joined the Wei family army, it can be regarded as a return to his old master.
On one side is the Wuxiang Alliance formed by the orphans of the aristocratic families of that time, and on the other side is the Wei Family Army formed by the descendants of the Wei Family. Both sides have rebelled against the court, which shows how corrupt the current court is.
The people have no expectations for the current royal family, and even hope that someone among them can attack the imperial city.
Song Ruize stood in front of the screen.
On the screen in front of me was a detailed map with many markings on it.
Qin Huiyin stood behind him and watched him draw some crosses on the map.
"My brother and his men have captured two more cities?"
"That's right. They have been recruiting soldiers very smoothly along the way, and their team is getting bigger and bigger. Given time, they will definitely be able to attack the imperial city. However, the offensive of the Wei family army is also very fierce. They have reached an agreement that whoever attacks the imperial city first will be the master of the world." Song Ruize said, "Who do you think will be the final winner?"
"From what I know about Brother Wei, he is not an ambitious person. He has come to this point completely out of necessity. However, even though he has no ambition, his subordinates will not tolerate his lack of ambition. Since they have started the rebellion, they are of course hoping to gain the credit of following the dragon. He will definitely do his best to seize this opportunity. Both sides are very powerful and both sides have the support of the people, so who will be the final winner depends on who has the better ability."
"No matter who becomes the final winner, we will not lose. If the Wei family army wins, then your eldest brother wins. If the Wuxiang Alliance wins, then your brother and I win. We will not lose in this deal." Song Ruize held her in his arms.
Qin Huiyin understood.
However, she also understood that her brother's victory and the Wei family army's victory were two different concepts.
If her brother wins, the world will belong to the Puyang family. Those ancestors who died unjustly can rest in peace in the underground.
Boom! Boom!
The ground suddenly shook violently.
Song Ruize quickly picked up Qin Huiyin and ran outside with her.
"This is an earthquake..." Qin Huiyin hugged Song Ruize tightly, her face full of panic.
Song Ruize ran very fast. After he carried her out, the house behind him began to collapse.
Looking at other places, houses are collapsing everywhere.
"What should I do with my mother and the others?" Qin Huiyin said anxiously.
"Don't worry. The secret guards I arranged for my mother-in-law and the others have good Qinggong skills and will definitely be able to protect them."
At this time, aftershocks were still continuing, and they could not move around. They could only go to open places to take shelter.
The entire capital city was filled with screams, cries for help, and voices shouting for their families.
Song Ruize pressed Qin Huiyin into his arms, hugged her tightly, and prevented her from seeing the tragic scene.
"Sir, are you and your wife okay?"
"We're fine, just be careful."
"The whole capital is in chaos now." The attendant said, "Many of our servants have not escaped."
"Where are the people from the Bingmasi?"
"The situation at the Bingmasi is also in chaos!"
Song Ruize didn't dare to run around now. Even if he was worried about Li Taohua and the others, he could only protect Qin Huiyin first.
It was already the end of the shift, and if Tang Yichen had no social engagements, he should be at home. Even if he wasn't there, Tang Yixiao was also at home, and as long as the Tang family had someone in charge, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Yinyin, are you okay?" Song Ruize saw Qin Huiyin stroking her belly and looked at her worriedly.
"It's okay." Qin Huiyin shook her head. "Luckily you are at home, otherwise what would I do alone?"
"Even if I'm not here, the secret guards will protect you and you will never be in any danger." Song Ruize hugged her.
The situation just now was extremely dangerous. The ground was cracked by the huge earthquake, and some people even fell into the cracks.
At this time, government offices all over the country began to send soldiers to rescue people. At this time, the military department had the hardest time.
The current situation cannot be handled by a small military department alone, and the cooperation of government offices in various places is necessary. Therefore, after no other shocks, Song Ruize brought Qin Huiyin to summon everyone from the Censorate.
Prime Minister Cui summoned all officials to discuss disaster relief matters.
"I have just entered the palace to take a look. The emperor and the ladies are all fine. This palace is indeed a blessed place with dragon veins. It is protected by heaven and earth and turns disaster into blessing. My lords, the people of the capital have suffered serious damage. What do you think we can do to save them?"
"With such a serious disaster, I'm afraid we'll need people from the Ministry of War." Jiang Qingnan, the commander-in-chief of the Military Department, said.
Prime Minister Cui said: "Of course the Ministry of War can send people, but after sending people, I'm afraid the Ministry of Revenue will also need to allocate funds for disaster relief."
"Prime Minister, save people first, and we can talk about the allocation of funds later." Song Ruize said lazily, "Most of the people are still buried underground. A little more delay means one more life will be lost. If you are so anxious to ask for money, people who don't know will think you are short of money."
"Lord Song is right. I am just trying to share your worries and want to make preparations earlier." Prime Minister Cui's eyes flashed with malice.
This Song Ruize is such an eyesore.
However, he was in charge of the Censorate, and this person was particularly difficult and hard to deal with.
"There is nothing to discuss. All government offices should send people to rescue the people now." Tang Yichen said, "Don't delay, take action immediately."
Is there any other way now besides digging the ground to save people?
This meeting is necessary so that government offices across the country can send people to take action instead of just standing by and watching.
The officials in various yamen also have families. With such a big commotion just now, some of them may have had family members in trouble. However, they are all well-known figures with many servants at home, so they should have been rescued by now.
Song Ruize went to the palace, asked for a token from the emperor, and went directly to the Ministry of War to transfer the people out.
Song Ruize and Tang Yichen led the civil and military officials and their subordinates to rescue the people. They divided the work and cooperated to rescue the people in their own areas first.
Tang Yixiao brought Li Taohua and others to Qin Huiyin's temporary residence.
They didn't know if there would be aftershocks, so they didn't dare stay on any roof and could only sit on the open space.
