Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 2099 Ask

  There were a lot of things about the beginning of spring, and the emperor called Niu Cishi and Yang Heshu who were waiting in the Piandian to see them after they dealt with them one by one.

  Man Bao and Tang County magistrate straightened up at the same time, looking forward with concern.

  Yang Heshu came in behind Niu Cishi, kneeled and bowed.

  The emperor sat on the head, looked at the two with heavy eyes and asked, "Xiazhou smallpox is raging, what do you two have to say?"

  Niu Ci paused. Before the officials of Dali Temple came to Xiazhou in person, he was thinking of catching Yang Heshuxia’s mistakes and splitting the blame.

  But Dali Temple officials personally went to Xiazhou and said it was an investigation, but in fact they were escorting their father and son. He vaguely touched the attitude of the capital.

  I'm afraid that the Yang family is operating in the court.

  On personal connections, on the friendship in front of His Majesty, Yang is naturally more versatile, so he is very quiet along the way, and he will not be too stupid to achieve the position of the governor.

  It's just that he is used to the emperor's distance, Xiazhou is desolate, and not close to the capital, but he didn't expect to meet Yang Heshu who has a backstage and is more authentic.

   Kneeling here at this time, thinking of the youngest son who is still locked up in Dali Temple, he knows that there is no way to avoid it, and he also has some understanding of the present, knowing that shirking responsibility will only make him more angry.

  So Niu Cishi decisively bowed his head and pleaded guilty, saying that he did not manage the house well and educate his son well, so that smallpox raged in Xiazhou.

  Lord Tang could not help but snorted coldly when he heard him evade the weight and lighten it. The emperor asked: "Niu Cishi, when was Niu Kang's concubine Hu Ji the doctor?"

  He is a master of criminal cases, and he is too lazy to argue with him. He directly asks the key points and sorts out the matter. The officials sitting at this big meeting will think for themselves.

  Niu Cishi had a meal, but couldn't answer for a while.

  Lord Tang snorted again, just got up and walked into the hall, and asked Yang Heshu, "Legger Yang, you say."

  Yang Heshu replied: "Doctor requested on September 18."

   "When did Orchid die?"

   "September Twenty Nights."

  Lord Tang asked Niu Cishi, "Niu Cishi, when did your son get a fever and get acne, do you know this?"

Niu Cishi paused and said, "September 22nd morning."

   "When did the doctor suspect that this is smallpox?"

Niu Cishi's fist in his sleeve tightened, and he replied, "That day."

  "After you know what the doctor said, you can isolate your son, can you report it to the county government, can you prohibit him from contacting people, and count and restrain the people who have contacted him at home?"

Niu Cishi lowered his head and fell silent for a while before knocking his head on the ground, "The minister is guilty, and the minister should not pity the younger son and feel lucky..."

"Niu Cishi, Niu Kang went out to the Chunfeng Tower on September 23rd, but did not go home until 24 noon. He spent the whole night and half a day in the Chunfeng Tower. Why didn't your Niu family send anyone to go? Find someone?"

  Niu Cishi's face was pale.

  The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table, and Niu Cishi immediately said: "The minister knows his mistake, please come down."

"The sin is to be condemned, but the hundred officials must know why it was condemned," Wei Zhiyou faintly interrupted: "Your Majesty, Yang Heshu is not bad at what the Taiyuan Hospital said. After the incident, the lesson should be summed up. This will happen again in the future. It’s not that such a mistake will be made again, so that the 2,289 people who have died have so little value."

  The emperor looked at Lord Tang, "Tang Qing, you continue to ask."

Master Old Tang responded and continued to question Niu Cishi and Yang Heshu. From Niu Kang’s illness, to the first time the doctor thought it was smallpox, to the doctor’s approach to the county government informant, and Yang Heshu’s series of responses. Regardless of the size, he asked them all.

On the side of   , there were other officials from Yushitai who checked and filled up the vacancies, and the questioning lasted for more than an hour.

  In the end, neither the emperor nor Baiguan directly convicted the two of them, but retreated first.

  The emperor recruited important officials such as Wei Zhi and Mr. Tang and went to the study to discuss matters. The others retired and left. Yang Heshu and Niu Cishi remained in the palace to listen to the announcement.

  Man Bao walked up to Yang Heshu, gave him all the snacks she had stuffed in her purse in the morning, and whispered: "If you're hungry, eat some."

  Tang county magistrate also contributed his snacks to him, and said in a low voice: "Seeing that your Majesty is not very angry with you like this. If you are lucky, there should be results today and tomorrow."

  Yang Heshu accepted their things and nodded slightly, "I know, you don't have to worry."

Indeed, the results came out very quickly. Man Bao had lunch in the Taiyuan Hospital, and after applying for a vacation with Dr. Liu, he went to the harem to see Mingda and Changyu first, and then brought them together to see the princess and grandson. Before leaving the palace, a well-informed servant came to report: "Niu Cishi has been sent to Dali Temple Heaven Prison, and Master Yang has been Shen Fu, but I heard that he may be promoted to Xiazhou Cishi."

  In fact, the emperor was hesitating, he could not find a suitable person to take over Xiazhou.

  Xiazhou's vitality is now severely damaged, and it will take a long time to recover. Competent officials can only be transferred from other places, and the transfer will have an impact on other places.

  He discussed with Wei Zhi and others for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find a suitable candidate, and there were still too few talents.

  In the end, Lord Tang suggested Yang Heshu.

  The emperor said: "I heard that many local gentry in Xiazhou died and injured many people this time. Many people resented him for sealing the city, cutting off their way, and letting him stay in Xiazhou, fearing that it would be detrimental to him."

  Let a person resented by Xiazhou be the governor of Xiazhou. It would be very unfavorable to the construction and development of the place. The emperor did not want to do this.

  Moreover, the emperor also heard that when the city was closed, some people attacked Yang Heshu and his wife and children in order to go out of the city, so even in order to protect him and his family, he tended to transfer people away.

  Yang Heshu is still young. Although he committed the following taboos this time, he did it out of righteousness. The emperor still trusts his personal abilities and morals, and he wants to cultivate him.

  Lord Tang realized the emperor’s intention to cherish talent, and he paused and said, “Your Majesty, it’s better to ask County Majesty Yang.”

He said: "Xiazhou’s resentment is actually very easy to solve. The culprit is the Niu family. Just a little guidance is enough. In this matter, the public opinion is not difficult to guide. Moreover, the county magistrate Yang is familiar with Xiazhou affairs. For the past four months, it has been his acting as the governor’s responsibility, so the minister thought that there was no more suitable person than him."

Wei Zhiye said: "Your Majesty might as well ask him. If he is willing, he will gain no less than going to the Jiangnan area in the future. Although Xiazhou is desolate, under Fengzhou, it is the most important thing for the east, the west, the north and the south. The level of success will not compromise Yang Heshu’s talent."

  He knew that the emperor wanted to transfer Yang Heshu to the south of the Yangtze River and use his hands to take care of the tails of the families in the south of the Yangtze.

  But Wei Zhi also felt that Yang Heshu was more suitable for Xiazhou at this time.

  　See you at six in the afternoon
