Commander Hong looked at the emperor's eyes and had no choice but to pay again.
Finally entered the city.
The group of people rushed to the government office one after another and handed these people over to the government office for disposal.
The prefect did not know the emperor, but the people who were captured did. These people cooperated with the government. They paid a large amount of money every year to honor the governor, so every time something happened, the governor had to protect them.
"Bold, these people are obviously good people, but you call them robbers. You can resolve your personal grudges on your own. The government will not interfere. Someone comes and releases the people." The prefect looked at Commander Hong pretending to be majestic and gave a random reason. , I plan to release him.
"These people dare to rob in broad daylight, but you say they are good citizens. Lord Magistrate, you receive a salary from the court to avenge the people, not to protect criminals." Commander Hong said angrily.
"You bastard, you dare to slander the imperial officials, come and capture them all!"
It seems that this place is completely dark and rotten inside. How can we expect justice from them?
After the emperor indicated that Commander Hong could take action, Commander Hong could not be polite and led his men to overthrow the whole place.
The prefect was caught and pushed to the ground, and they all knelt before the emperor.
Commander Hong showed his token.
"Why don't you pay homage to the current emperor?" Commander Hong kicked the prefect in the butt.
The prefect was frightened and kowtowed hurriedly, "See, Your Majesty, this is a low-ranking official who is ignorant of Mount Tai. Your Majesty, please spare my life."
The emperor snorted, how could he not know that all the officials here sucked.
It's just to scare the monkeys and scare higher officials.
Now that others are outside the palace, it is difficult to clarify the matter. We can only wait until we return to the palace to deal with these people and replace them with others to take over the affairs here.
Now I can only make concessions with these officials.
But this prefect must be killed without a doubt.
"Pull this man down and kill him. Send someone to send a message and ask the governor of Shuzhou to come and see me!" The emperor said coldly, with great aura in every gesture.
Not long after, the governor of Shuzhou heard the news and hurriedly came to see the emperor.
Officials of all sizes were kneeling on the ground.
The emperor looked at him coldly, "Just now at the city gate, I was charged a toll. Chen Aiqing, I didn't know that such a high toll was charged when entering and leaving the city. What law in our country requires you to do this?" "
After hearing this, Governor Chen quickly knelt down and said, "I failed to discipline my subordinates properly. I know that I am guilty, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Really, is this really the case?"
"I am loyal to the emperor and ask for orders for the people. I will never dare to act recklessly. Please be careful and careful." Governor Chen kowtowed quickly.
The emperor chuckled and said, "It's okay. I believe you. It's just that I have already killed the prefect. This person died unjustly. I will not tolerate it. Governor Chen should take this as a warning. In the future, if you dare to charge privately, I will never take it lightly." Rao."
If he were not worried that these people would ruin everything, Chu Sheng would naturally want to deal with these officials immediately.
But we still have to kill chickens to scare monkeys. The prefect just now is the best chicken, so I’m sorry they don’t dare to mess around.
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of further investigation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they had to serve the emperor well. When they were satisfied with the service, the emperor would no longer care about it.
"Your Majesty is here incognito. Let your ministers arrange the trip for the Emperor." Governor Chen said with a smile on his face.
Commander Hong immediately said, "I heard that there is a medicine fairy in Shuzhou who has great medical skills. I am suffering from a hidden disease. Please go and invite him quickly."
Hearing this, Governor Chen hurriedly agreed, "Okay, but it may take three to five days. The Medicine Immortal is not in the city. He lives in seclusion in the mountains all year round and never sees outsiders. I will go and invite him personally. It will take some time. He must be your master." Please come."
Commander Hong nodded, "Go back quickly."
The group of people arranged to stay in the largest inn and returned the overcharged money.
Governor Chen said it would take three to five days, but he invited people here on the third day.
The Yaoxian looked at the emperor's pulse, his brows furrowed, his expression serious, and after a long time, he stopped his hand.
"How? Is there any cure for this poison?" Jin Xin asked hurriedly.
The Medicine Immortal shook his head, "This poison is extremely weird and won't make people feel uncomfortable. However, it is attached to the tendons and veins and is present in every part of the body. It is a slow poison, but it is also a poison that cannot be cured. If I am not good at learning, it is really harmful." ashamed."
The emperor's originally expectant gaze slowly dimmed. He smiled bitterly and said to Jin Xin, "I'll make you happy in vain."
Jin Xin was stunned. Even though she was prepared, she still had expectations. She was actually a little heartbroken that she would be disappointed again.
"But sir, it seems that your body has suppressed the poison very well. Although the drug's properties are overbearing, the insect poison will also overcome the properties. You still have to be prepared. You may fall down one day."
This insect poison can actually evolve, and the poison in Southern Xinjiang is so powerful.
"Does the Medicine Fairy have any prescription that can suppress the toxicity for a longer period of time?" the emperor asked.
The Medicine Fairy got up, wrote a prescription, and said, "This prescription can suppress the toxicity again and ensure that there is no risk for three years."
"Thank you, Medicine Fairy." The emperor said and had people send him away.
Jin Xin's mood was complicated, and she felt uncomfortable looking at the emperor.
He was too young and it was such a shame to die like this.
"Let's go to southern Xinjiang to find an antidote." Jin Xin suggested.
When the emperor heard this, he shook his head and took her hand, "No need, let's not waste time. There is no cure for this poison, so there is no need to increase worries."
For a moment, the room was silent.
"Let's go back to the palace, and spend the rest of the time with the children."
"Okay, I just want to take care of everything here back to the palace."
The carriage set off again and sent a message back to Beijing, asking the capital to send people to Shuzhou to arrest all the officials here and replace them with a new batch of officials.
We traveled all the way, visited several cities, walked many mountains and rivers, stopped and ate, and drank.
The emperor was still concerned about the affairs on the border of the Western Region, so he sent a message to Gu Zhao, asking Gu Zhao to lead troops to solve the matter there.
Finally, in September, they arrived in the capital and returned to the palace.
When I saw Hong'er again, I felt that the child's eyes looked sharp, and he looked very much like his father.
It seems that Hong'er has grown a lot in the past half year or so.
Seeing Hong'er being so steady, the emperor also completely delegated his authority.
The emperor's body still looked very healthy. At first, everyone thought that the emperor seemed to be dying, but now they saw that the emperor looked very good and seemed fine at all.
But the emperor knew his own background. Sometimes he couldn't control his hands, so he guessed that the poison would be uncontrollable, so he could only change the medicine fairy's prescription and continue to take medicine to suppress it.
Not long after returning to the palace, the emperor made another decision to dismiss the harem.
Ordered them to leave the palace voluntarily and get married freely.
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the harem was in chaos. They all rushed to Kunning Palace to ask what was going on.
Jin Xin didn’t know what was going on.
She also just found out.
It's okay to say that you have never slept with someone, but you have already slept with someone, how can you get married again?
The emperor came to Kunning Palace at this time, and everyone quickly came forward and knelt down to beg the emperor not to abandon them.
The emperor and the queen entered the inner room, and Jin Xin asked, "Your Majesty, your imperial edict this morning dismissed the harem. They have already entered the palace as concubines, how can they get married again?"
"Love is voluntary. If they leave the palace and meet their beloved again, their life will not be wasted. I feel that when a person is about to die, there is no need for the living to guard the dead. If they don't want to, they can rest in peace in the palace for the rest of their lives. After all, I just give them a voluntary choice."
Only now did he realize that this deep palace was like a prison cell. He was willing to give them freedom. He only hoped that Jin Xin could see his heart clearly.
With the queen here, he felt it was enough.
