Chapter 416 Shocking
After half an hour, I still didn’t agree on a safe way. The current emergency situation is not only the rebel problem last night, but also the pier in Zhangjiawan was occupied by the rebels, and there will be a problem of shortage of materials in the city soon.
Food food in the city will be fatal.
"Your Majesty, you should rescue the surrounding prefectures." A general suggested.
Emperor Mingcheng said coldly: "What else?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Mr. Xu said: "As early as the news of the Jianning rebels came to the capital, Your Majesty had issued an order to ask General Pei Xin to mobilize the army to return to the capital. Calculate the time, it will take less than half a month to arrive."
Therefore, it has been discussed for so long.
Everyone is asking a useless question.
This is the first time Qin Chi has learned about this problem.
Emperor Cheng of Ming should have sent a secret decree. At this time, it is likely that the city has been closed down. The city is under the control of Emperor Cheng of Ming, so he doesn''t mind telling this news. In fact, the army can only open a poster and cannot hide for many days. The rebels would not raid the imperial city. Qin Chi suspected that Yan Jiangnan and others might have received the news, and they would attack the east and take the lead in occupying Zhangjiawan.
Both sides know the strength of the capital.
Emperor Ming Cheng didn''t know what he thought before, and now he should know.
At present, we can only defend the imperial city to the death and wait for rescue.
"Shangshu Qin, do you have any suggestions?"
Mr. Xu suddenly asked when he saw Qin Chi in silence. Seeing Qin Chi look up at him in surprise, he explained, "You are the youngest here. Young people are motivated and have active thinking. Maybe there will be solutions. It''s not like an old guy who has to think about one word several times and look back."
"When I returned to Xu, my official experience is still shallow, far less rich than that of my predecessors. I couldn''t think of a solution at the moment. However, the most important thing is now. In addition to defending the city, there are also the people in the city that need to be appeased, so as not to escape rebels causing trouble in the city and shake people''s hearts. The second is the grain merchants in the city..."
What Qin Chi said was really an urgent issue in the city.
What we discussed just now was to solve the rebel problem. No one has noticed the possible problems in the city, especially the food problem, which is still the top priority. If a grain merchant takes this price increase, it is likely to cause panic.
Emperor Cheng of Ming also thought of this problem.
Let the court officials find ways to stabilize the situation in the city. Finally, Emperor Mingcheng actually said, "The matter of stabilizing the hearts and prices in the city will be left to Qin Aiqing to do. If necessary, let the Jinyiwei assist you in your actions."
"My minister, follow the order."
Qin Chi responded respectfully, but in fact, it was hard to describe it.
He is the Minister of Works, shouldn’t he be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue? Even if it is not handed over to the Ministry of Revenue, the Military Affairs Office should be held responsible, and it should not be his turn no matter how it is.
It was almost noon.
A group of ministers suddenly heard executions and screams from outside.
Emperor Mingcheng led his crew out of the hall gate.
I saw Jixiang and others who were cleaning up the spies in the palace and captured more than a dozen palace servants to be killed by sticks.
"Ah! Admiral, the little wronged, that thing is not small, it was framed by someone..."
"Give me aside, ah!"
There were screams endlessly.
It was so cunning that I heard it. The person I came over seemed to have met someone I accidentally, and I was so scared that I felt scared.
Emperor Mingcheng said indifferently: "Those who have two hearts do not need to live."
“Your Majesty said very well.”
An official next to him echoed.
Emperor Cheng of Ming brought people to see this **** scene to shock and knock, and everyone who should understand it understands it.
Immediately, Emperor Cheng of Ming asked to leave.
Qin Chi was going to find the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Xia Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was silent, "Your Majesty said it was necessary to find the Jinyiwei. Are you going to leave the Qianqing Palace just now?" He saw that Qin Chi was not covering up, and could not help but remind him. "I don''t want to do it either, but the rebels who escaped outside have not been completely removed, which is very necessary. Otherwise, with the little manpower in the mansion and I can complete the things that Your Majesty has assigned?" Qin Chi not only had to go to Jinyiwei to borrow people, but also to Jingzhao Prefecture and the Military and Ma Sili to borrow people. "For issues such as grain merchants, we have to bother Secretary Xia to make a convenient move."
He always needs to know how many grain merchants, how many grain shops, etc. in the capital, and know whose family has accumulated a lot of grain. He also needs to review the files of the Ministry of Revenue, or ask people from the Ministry of Revenue to give a list.
Xia Wei understood his words, "This is a trivial matter. I will continue to explain it later and let someone organize the list."
"I''m sorry, you are." Qin Chi bowed to him gratefully.
Xia Wei politely returned the gift.
The two of them had a long way to go together. Xia Wei looked around and saw that the closest ones were several feet away. He approached Qin Chi and whispered: "Your Majesty is wrong, have you noticed?"
"You mean... powder?"
When Qin Chi said vaguely, he tapped his face with his finger.
Xia Wei raised his eyebrows, "Did you notice?"
"I found it when I looked up."
Normal ministers dare not look directly at Ming Cheng Emperor.
Qin Chi and others were no exception, but Mr. Xu called him his name at that time. When he looked up at Mr. Xu, he secretly glanced at Emperor Mingcheng.
In the past, Qin Chi would have ignored it and put on makeup on Song Jin. He had studied it a few times in private and paid attention to it. He soon noticed the incongruity of Emperor Mingcheng''s expression, unlike the rosy appearance he showed. I looked at it a few more times and found that it was a fan.
Men''s makeup was already very common during the Qin and Han dynasties.
In the Daxia Dynasty, some men also used mouth fat and incense, in addition to applying powder and facial fat. Yan Xianqing especially loves spices and often uses pepper to smoke clothes. When he gets close to him, he smells of pepper.
However, when Emperor Cheng of Ming might have paid attention to his appearance when he was young, he rarely struggled with himself since he became older. At least since Qin Chi became an official in the court, he had almost never been fans when he saw Emperor Cheng.
This time there is.
So, what to cover up?
Sick appearance!
After the rebels entered the palace, news in the palace was blocked.
What happened in the palace last night, there was no wind outside. However, for such a big thing, Emperor Ming Cheng could not be angry. Last time, Emperor Cheng of Ming escaped by chance due to the "rejuvenation" incident.
It’s not that there is nothing wrong with the body.
There will be no problems in a short period of time.
Now we are in rebels'' rebellion, and major events happen one after another. According to Emperor Cheng of Ming, his irritable temper, it is difficult not to get angry. However, I still need to cover up my illness...
Things are going to be big!
Xia Wei dared not think further.
He decided to suffocate his discovery today to death.
On the contrary, Qin Chi seemed to be fine and went to the commander of the Jinyiwei to ask for someone. Chen Qianhu happened to bring people to help. Then he went to the Ministry of Revenue and the Government Office, and then went to the yamen of the Wucheng Military and Masi Office. He asked people to pay attention to the shops in the city, whether anyone took the opportunity to make money from the national crisis, and sometimes he would remind him in time.
All the bus is busy.
Qin Chi missed lunch again.
Qin Ba came over with a food box and put it on the table in front of Qin Chi to report on the situation in the city outside. It was like Mr. Weng was seriously injured by the rebels last night and was lying at home waiting.
"Young Master, something happened in Wu Bohou''s mansion." Qin Ba said in a low voice again.
Qin Chi was surprised, "Isn''t there no one without his family last night?"
"It was the fleeing rebels who went to Wu Bohou''s mansion. The female relatives in the mansion either died or were ruined by the rebels. Among them were Miss Wu..." Qin Ba stopped at the right time.
Qin Chi has not yet attacked the Wu family.
The Wu family is starting to be in trouble again?
Did the rebels intentionally go to the Wu family or did they go there unintentionally?
