Chapter 309 – The net of heaven is wide open.

When Jin Chun heard this, his face changed slightly and he looked at Zhang Anshi very nonchalantly.

At this time, but heard Zhang Anshi toward Zhu Di said, “Your Majesty, among these rumors, the reason why I judge that it is from Ningguo Fu is because ……”

He paused and said with an easy, relaxed look, “Because rumors are gradual.”

“Gradual change?” Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Anshi thoughtfully, as if he was also waiting for Zhang Anshi’s next words.

Then I saw Zhang Anshi continue, “It’s as if, there is one person who passes out a piece of news, and when it reaches the ears of a second person, it will begin to be added to until it reaches the ears of a third person, and a fourth person, and then it will gradually go off the rails again.”

“So it’s really simple to find the source of the news, and that’s whichever rumor, the closer it is to the truth, then nine times out of ten, that’s probably the source of the news.”

Zhu Di roughly understood: “Zhang Qing continued.”

So Zhang Anshi continued, “Here, is the news that the East Chamber has picked up from all over the world, and in the capital, rumors have begun to circulate everywhere that thousands have died, and there is even talk that there have been a large number of deaths in the capital camp, and it is clear that these news are very outrageous.”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued, “This proves that the source of this news is by no means from the inner city.”

Zhu Di nodded again, the more he felt that Zhang Anshi, this guy, seemed to think logically differently from most people.

It’s called professionalism!

In fact, through many things, data and messages as analysis and judgment is now almost one of the important courses in the government school academy.

Zhang Anshi continued: “The news is not out of the city, this rather let me very suspicious. Because the person who passes out the news, right in the middle of the ministers and so on, all the princes here, none of them are in a high position of power, as a matter of fact, if they pass out the news, then the source of the news must be in the city. After all, …… Nan Zhili is very big, and it is difficult for them to have any contact with people outside of Yingtianfu. That’s why I’ve paid extra attention to the public opinion of the Taiping River and Ningguo Province.”

Zhu Di then said, “Do you mean …… that the Taiping Mansion is because of the Qing family, and the Ningguo Mansion, because of the Jianqing?”

Zhang Anshi said with a face of certainty: “Yes, I am not polite to say, the other governors of Nan Zhili as well as all the officials, want to make friends with today’s people in this hall, it is simply not enough to qualify, and those who can produce a connection with all the dukes of the court, in addition to the minister’s Taiping Province, is the Ningguo Palace.”

“Because of this, so I paid extra attention to the public opinion of Qixia and Ningguo Palace. Qixia side of the rumors, more than the inner city has been dead and injured thousands of people, and even said …… full of dead rats, your majesty …… it is clear that the message of Qixia, more outrageous, what they received, must be from the capital out of the second-hand news, if the source from Qixia , then this spread out so sensational news, how to reach the capital, but instead of the dead people also reduced it?”

“We all know that the greatest characteristic of a rumor is that it will be numerically inflated after it has been passed on from mouth to mouth by one individual to another, just as if His Majesty had said to the minister that he had eaten today with a good appetite and had eaten half a catty of meat, so that from the minister’s mouth to the mouth of a second person, who said that His Majesty had a good appetite and had eaten meat, it would never have been under half a catty, and the fundamental reason why people are fond of rumors, lies in the fact that the more sensational and exaggerated they are, the more spreading they are.”

Yang Rong and others, initially heard Zhang Anshi said what Ningguo House, seems to be initially identified Zhang Anshi is mostly want to hold private revenge.

After all, Zhang Anshi and Lord Jian are not quite on speaking terms right now.

But now, listening to Zhang Anshi so, but had to admire …… Zhang Anshi at least logically stand.

With their wisdom, they naturally understand a little.

That Jin Chun’s face changed slightly, but he had to suppress his anger.

Zhu Di asked at this point, “Then why Ning?”

“Because of these many news, Ningguo Fu’s news is the most accurate, in which the rumors picked up by the East Chamber, more than some of the capital has died more than thirty people, which although also exaggerated, since because, the source of the news has been contaminated, people passed on by word of mouth, and those who are not enough to frighten the news, have long been covered by the more exaggerated rumors. But …… compare their news samples with the capital and Qixia against each other, I dare to take the head as a guarantee, this news must be from Ningguofu.”

Zhang Anshi then, righteously continued, “And given that Ningguo Fu is also some distance away from the capital, but can be the fastest speed from Ningguo Fu to send out the news, this Ningguo Fu …… up and down, in addition to the Jian Gong, I simply can not think of anyone else to befriend with the ministers in this hall, or even labor someone among the ministers to go out of their way to personally release the news to go.”

Zhu Di wrinkled his brow and said, “Jianyi?”

Zhu Di’s face grew more and more unattractive, and his face turned cold.

Yang Rong and others are silent, to be honest, they dare not say that what Zhang Anshi said must be the truth, but at least …… this should be the logic that is closest to the truth.

Seeing His Majesty’s great anger, Jin Chun hurriedly bowed down and said, “Your Majesty, this is just …… an inference, there is no real evidence …… ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Anything, as long as it is done, there will definitely be traces, since there is already an inference, want to find the evidence, but instead it becomes easy, in fact, to thoroughly investigate, it is also very simple, that is, if there is really someone to pass the message to Jian Gong, then leak out the news, but also will not be Jian Gong personally leak out the news, is definitely his side of the people around the clues around the clue, will be responsible for his The person in charge of his paperwork and correspondence will know as soon as he takes it.”

“Moreover, both someone pass out letters, and the news so fast, must be fast horse, hoof words …… as long as the check of the various mansions of the state of the horse is clear. And the person who passes the letter, also must be the heart of the people …… these people, there are a few last night to leave the capital, it is also clear at a glance. To check the means of many kinds, follow the vine to find the melon, but it is a breeze.”

Zhu Di scanned all the people here with a frosty face, then he looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “In that case, then who do you think is the most likely?”

Zhang Anshi looked around, smiled and said, “Your Majesty, Jian Gong is very popular in the dynasty, I think all the people here, have a close relationship with him, but I am thinking …… that a great relationship alone is not enough, because there are also many kinds of relationships, some are pure friendship, some are different. For example, this time, such an important military event, the news is not from the capital, but even the first time to the Ningguo Palace, which shows that some people think that it is very important to let Jian Gong get the news the first time.”

“For something as terrible as the bubonic plague to not first notify his family in secret, but instead notify Lord Jian, that would not be an unusual relationship. I dare assert that the person who conveyed the news should not be in the Wen Yuan Pavilion.”

“What makes it so?”

“Among the Wen Yuan Pavilion, although some people are close to Jian Gong, but after all, they are the relationship of collaborators, and between each other, it is always not yet to the point of one glory and one loss.”

Zhu Di nodded his head deeply, and his gaze then fell on a few of the ministers.

Zhang Anshi smiled slightly, “Next, we can rule out Jin Zhong Jinbu Tang, Jinbu Tang …… cough ……”

Jin Zhong said with an iron face, “Can you finish your sentence? Don’t cough and make it seem like old me has some hidden disease.”

Zhang Anshi’s face was embarrassed for a moment, then he said, “This …… Jin Bitang, I mean, Jin Bitang is His Majesty’s old minister in Beiping, and has always known only His Majesty and nothing else, so …… ”

Jin Zhong said, “Then just say no.”

Zhang Anshi continued, “Secondly, we can rule out Lord Xia.”

Xia Yuanji watched the poison circle getting smaller and smaller, although he felt bright and open, but he was also afraid that he was tainted with suspicion, and now he heard Zhang Anshi ruled out himself, and silently sighed with relief.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, asked again, “How can I see that?”

Zhang Anshi said: “Xia Gong in Taizu high emperor in the time, into the forbidden in the system of enjoining, to Jianwen, has been the Ministry of household right minister, wait until His Majesty ascended the throne, will be promoted to the Ministry of household minister. Your Majesty, Xia Gong is not promoted, can have today, by virtue of is their own qualifications, although he and Jian Gong friendship, but there is really no need to such military affairs, rapid transmission to Jian Gong.”

Zhu Di’s gaze is getting heavier and heavier, said, “Then ……”

At this moment, everyone’s gazes were directed toward Jin Chun.

Jin Chun’s face changed.

Jin Chun immediately said, “Wrongfully accused.”

Zhang Anshi said:” Jin Gong, if my memory is not wrong words, you first in the Ministry of mandarins Wenxuan Division to do Langzhong, thereafter went to Jiangxi Buzhengji Division to do the right Counselor …… wait until His Majesty ascended to the throne, Jian Gong strongly recommended you, you only from Jiangxi to break the promotion into the dynasty, and became the Ministry of Criminal Affairs Shangshu. ”

It can be said that Jin Chun’s promotion is extremely abnormal, he first in the Ministry of mandarins to do an unusual official, should be at that time, and Jian Yi befriended, which in ancient times is considered to be a deceased official.

After that, he went to Jiangxi to do the right Counselor, this right Counselor, in fact, is the right and left hand of the Buzheng Minister, and is a local official, in fact, the status is not prominent.

It was precisely during his time as a right counsellor that the court was dominated by several of Emperor Jianwen’s favorites, and even Jianyi had stepped aside.

But wait until Zhu Di ascended to the throne, Jianyi rose to the top, Jin Chun immediately rocketed to the top.

You should know that it is already difficult to enter the dynasty from a local official, and after entering the dynasty, it is definitely considered an eye-opener to be quickly promoted to the high position of the Minister of Justice.

Without Jianyi’s strong recommendation, this would have been almost impossible.

Zhu also seemed to understand something.

One glory for all, one loss for all.

There are some relationships are so, Jian Yi if something happened, Wen Yuan Ge’s bachelors, naturally, does not have much to do, who do the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice are the same.

And Xia Yuanji is also okay, Xia Yuanji seniority is deep, himself is also a disciple of the officials all over the world, in a sense, is the emperor needs him to do this Ministry of households Secretary, can better deal with the court of many issues.

As for Jin Zhong, it is needless to say, the emperor in, he is in, as Zhu Di humerus, anyone who is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and he has nothing to do.

But Jin Chun is not the same, this former Ministry of mandarins, Jiangxi seneschal, although the noble Ministry of Justice, the truth is that there is no foundation.

Whether it is seniority, or other aspects, compared to the other ministers, are far worse, and even the emperor’s impression of him, is not very impressive, he can rely on, is Jianyi, Jianyi’s disciples of the old officials, is his disciples of the old officials, Jianyi’s support is his biggest guarantee.

Zhu Di was furious: “It seems to have to be thoroughly investigated, is it? Do you want me to immediately order someone to go to your home and check the details?”

Jin Chun heard, face like ashes. As Zhang Anshi said, this kind of thing, as long as the vine touches the melon, there is no check out, when the defense can not be defended …… then even if it is not to see the coffin not to shed tears.

He panicked and bowed down to kowtow, and said sorrowfully, “I …… minister …… district cloth, Meng Your Majesty’s love, to be given such a high position, I …… have the crime of ten thousand deaths! Yesterday …… I did pass a letter to Jian Gong, not that I have selfishness, but …… I just …… think that this is a big matter, Jian Gong is a heavenly official of the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice, and he should be informed. Minister …… minister ……”

This Jin Chun’s face, more and more miserable, just constantly kowtowed and mouthed ten thousand deaths.

Zhu Di color changed greatly, gritted his teeth, staring at Jin Chun, revealing a hideous color: “I have repeatedly instructed, you still dare to take the risk, with such a sinister intention, the crime should be put to death.”

Jin Chun then had no choice but to continue kowtowing, “Yes, I am guilty of ten thousand deaths.”

Zhu Di said, “You sent a message to Jian Yi, and Jian Yi sent the message out ……”

“No ……” Jin Chun hastily said, “Your Majesty, Jian Gong …… Jian Gong is a gentleman, always prudent in handling things, and acted in a thorough manner, if the news was passed out. This must not be Jian Gong for …… perhaps I acted not weekly, which …… led to the news leaked in the middle of the process, all is the fault of the minister, the minister …… sin should be ten thousand deaths, a thousand mistakes, all in the body of the minister. Now the minister is living in the temple hall ……”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but choke, “It’s no wonder Jian Gong ……”

Zhu glared viciously at Jin Chun.

Jin Chun, at this point, was still trying to forcefully protect Jian Yi.

The crowd looked at Jin Chun and couldn’t help but sigh.

Jianyi and Jin Chun’s relationship, indeed far beyond the friendship of ordinary people, when Jianyi was sidelined by Jianwen, Jin Chun will be as Jianyi’s beloved, directly sent to Jiangxi to do the right Counselor. And once Jianyi re-stood on the temple, almost also used all the means, to ensure that Jin Chun into the dynasty.

This kind of relationship is really not comparable to that of an ordinary person.

Zhu Di said with a cold face, “What should be done about leaking military information?”

Zhu continued, “What’s more, this person is also the Minister of Justice, so it can be said that he knows the law and violates the law, all the more reason to add to the crime.”

The person Zhu Di was looking at at this time was Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi thought about it and said, “In fact, …… I also want to ask for sins.”

“Hmm?” Zhu froze.

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, I actually knew that the news would leak out.”

Zhu raised his eyebrows, “Why is that?”

“I am the Jin Yiwei commanding envoy co-conspirator, in fact …… when I came to see His Majesty yesterday, I met all the princes and knew that between Jin Chun and Jian Yi, there would never be any concealment, and that this news ……… would surely be spread to the world.”

Zhu froze again, “Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Zhang Anshi said, “I actually thought …… that this news, want to hide, can not be hidden, rather than the court to cover up, it is better to …… really pass out a little something.”

Zhu Di said, “But now the hearts of the people are floating, do you know …… what the consequences of the hearts of the people will be?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Naturally know, only …… your majesty, but once the plague began to break out in the crowd, sooner or later or to the hearts of the people, ah, rather than so, it would be better …… to wait for the news from Fujian side, to transfer the everyone’s attention, are transferred to Fujian plague side to teach everyone to see if there is any way to alleviate.”

“Now the situation is difficult, but as long as the military and civilian people of Nan Zhili are given the hope of living, naturally the hearts of the people will be stabilized.”

Zhu pursed his lips and slowed down, but said, “Over at Jianningfu, have you sent anyone there?”

Zhang Anshi truthfully said, “Already gone, fast horses, day and night.”

Zhu Di’s face finally eased a bit, “How much certainty is there.”

He was now counting on Zhang Anshi to really have a solution!

Zhang Anshi then said, “I only dare to say that I will do my best.”

Zhu Di couldn’t help but sigh before he added, “Then how will this Jin Chun be disposed of?”

“Strike the official, waiting for investigation.” Zhang Anshi advised: “Now at this time, there is no need to make trouble, I and Jian Gong, the relationship is not amicable, but when the country is in danger, but I also know myself, Jian Gong people, etc., there have always been people’s prestige, has always been the world’s people and the military to rely on.”

“If at this time, any more chaos occurs in the court, it will instead trigger suspicion in the world, and even if they are to be disposed of, it would be to let them wear their sins and allow for further discussion later.”

Yang Rong couldn’t help but give Zhang Anshi a sideways glance after hearing his words.

He had thought that Zhang Anshi would take the opportunity to fall on his sword at this time, but who would have thought that at this time, Zhang Anshi would turn to speak for Jian Yi and Jin Chun.

Even Jin Chun was so ashamed to hear Zhang Anshi’s words that he lowered his head slightly, only wishing to find a crack in the ground to burrow into.

Jin Zhong was also puzzled, and actually felt surprised.

Zhu Di exhaled a long breath before saying quietly, “So be it ……”

He showed a few moments of disbelief, but he knew now that it was all better to deal with the bubonic plague that was about to come to the forefront of his mind.

Zhu Di was obviously in a bad mood today, so he said, “All stand down.”

All of them had the good sense to retire in silence.

Zhang Anshi is busy, so he’s on his feet.

Walked not much far, that Jin Chun is fast step caught up, “Wei Guo Gong ……”

Zhang Anshi stopped and only looked back at him.

Jin Chun only made a long bow toward him, wanting to say something but saying nothing, and then he quickly left again.

Zhang Anshi: “……”

“You kid, you seem to have grown up, I thought you would be vindictive!”

Eyeing Jin Chun’s back, Jin Zhong took a slow step and couldn’t help but smile, looking relieved, “At first, when I saw you, you were quite like Monk Yao, and then I realized more and more that this is more than like Monk Yao, it’s simply Monk Yao’s grandson who has been separated for many years.”

“Who are you cursing.” Zhang Anshi became enraged and directly opened his eyes wide, glaring at Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong pressed his hand: “Don’t be so hasty first, listen to Lao Fu to finish, but just when Lao Fu thought that you are the second of Yao Monk, but now he realized that it’s different again. You have one thing better than him, that is, the heart of the mind is not so small.”

Zhang Anshi, however, said very truthfully, “I am not small minded, but I want to do a thing that has not been done before, and at this time, it is necessary to protect Jian Gong, and never let him have an accident in other places, because …… I want to defeat him in a dignified manner! I defeat him, not have to knock him down, but to tell the world, the original set, can not go.”

The color of appreciation in Jin Zhong’s eyes became even more intense and he laughed, “Good ambition!”

“This is not ambition.” Zhang Anshi said, “This is a clear plan, put on the stage to kill, to teach everyone can not pick thorns.”

Jin Zhong sighed, “Monk Yao is different, he likes to make the dark ones the most.”

Zhang Anshi, however, said, “I’m going to tell him these words.”

Kim Chung: “……”

“Okay, joke, just a joke.”

Jin Zhong then but worriedly said, “You say ……… that the plague can really be prevented?”

Zhang Anshi said truthfully, “Difficult, very difficult.”

Jin Zhong showed his disappointment, “But you sent someone to Jianningfu.”

“I just want to give it a try.” Zhang Anshi looked at Jin Zhong seriously and said, “No matter what, a dead horse must be treated as a living horse.”

Jin Zhong revealed a gloomy color: “Once diffused, there is no method of prevention and treatment, it will really be a disaster. But I don’t know …… how many soldiers and people will have to die. This is a disaster of doom for the world.”

Zhang Anshi heart also sank, the bubonic plague at this time in Europe, but created tens of millions of population deaths …… If it is placed in the Daming ……

But Zhang Anshi fought back, “No matter what ……”

“Whatever?”

Zhang Anshi uttered a very middle-of-the-road sentence, “But wherever there is the slightest possibility, we must also try. Well, Jin Gong, I still have something …… to say goodbye.”

Jin Zhong revealed a complicated look, his worried mood had been difficult to dissipate.

This sadness is actually more than just a Kim Chung.

…………

Jianning Mansion.

It’s been most of a month since I’ve been here.

Chen Daowen along the way to see a few villages and towns, there are even a few, there is a situation of nine empty rooms.

This kind of thing, if only put on the report, may be just a number, but when really see with their own eyes, only to realize that the plague here has been serious to what extent.

At that moment, he followed Zhang Anshi’s instructions and traveled with all speed to the Jianning government office.

But the governor is already very sick and should not live long.

Now it’s the Tongzhi Administrator’s Office, and this Tongzhi is a dead weight.

The only good thing about them was that they were roving officials, and even if they did catch the bubonic plague, they would only die themselves, and their families would at least still be thousands of miles away.

But as far as the brocade guards were concerned, the co-conspirator was quite cooperative.

At Chen Dao Wen’s behest, they opened up an area in one of the mansion’s workshops.

Within the area, everyone distributed the medication, while …… took out this cart and began to distribute it as well.

This workshop is directly surrounded by the brocade guards and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Immediately after that, it is for people to record the situation of people infected with the plague and publicize the use of medicine.

Fully half a month passed.

A copy of the data that began to appear.

Gradually, the face of that deathly gray-faced Tongzhi began to show a slight redness.

To be precise, a light began to shine in his eyes.

Subsequently, he grew more and more spirited.

Until the tenth of March.

He was thrilled to find Chen Daowen.

“A new number …… has been registered again, a great success, a great success, Chen Chitou …… Chen Chitou ……”

Tong Zhi rushed up with an arrow step, even as if he was a hungry man of color, and directly kissed Chen Qiandu’s face.

Enter your mother.

Chen Qiandu was so insulted that he became furious, pressing the hilt of the sword at his waist and glaring at this Tongzhi.

The same know is not thought: “You guess these days, this workshop infected plague people how many people? Three people …… only three people …… more than half a month, around the workshop infected with plague people is here ten times and a hundred times, but here …… only three people … …”

The co-conspirator suddenly cried and wiped his tears, “There are countless living people, countless living people, the people are saved.”
