I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl!

Chapter 416 Shock

After less than half an hour, there was still no safe way to come up with. The current urgent situation is not only the problem of the rebels last night, but also the dock in Zhangjiawan was occupied by the rebels. There will soon be a shortage of supplies in the city.

A lack of food in the city would be fatal.

"Your Majesty, we should seek rescue from the surrounding state capitals." A military general suggested.

Emperor Mingcheng said coldly: "What other suggestions?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Mr. Xu said: "As early as the news of the Jianning rebels reached the capital, His Majesty had already ordered General Pei Xin to mobilize the army to rush back to the capital. Calculating the time, it will take less than half a month to arrive."

That's why we discussed it for so long.

What everyone is asking is a useless question.

This was the first time Qin Chi learned about this issue.

Emperor Mingcheng should have sent a secret edict. If he said it at this time, it is likely that the city has been sealed. The city is under the control of Emperor Mingcheng, and he does not mind telling this news. In fact, as long as the army is open, it can't 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, so they would attack east and west and occupy Zhangjiawan first.

Both sides know the strength of the capital.

Emperor Mingcheng had no idea before, but now he should know it.

At present, they can only defend the imperial city and wait for rescue.

"Qin Shangshu, do you have any suggestions?"

When Mr. Xu saw the silent Qin Chi, he suddenly asked. When Qin Chi looked up at him in surprise, he explained, "You are the youngest here. Young people are energetic and active in thinking. Maybe there will be a solution." It’s not like an old guy who has to think about a sentence several times and think twice.”

"Old Hui Xu, my experience is still inexperienced and far less than that of my predecessors. I can't think of a way to crack it at the moment. However, the most important thing now is that in addition to guarding the city, there are also people in the city who need to be appeased to prevent the escaping rebels from entering the city. The second is the grain merchants in the city..."

What Qin Chi said is really an issue that urgently needs attention in the city.

The discussion just now was only about solving the problem of the rebels. No one has paid attention to the problems that may occur in the city, especially the food problem, which is still the top priority. If the price of food is raised through this, it is likely to cause panic among people.

Emperor Ming Cheng also thought about this problem at the same time.

He asked the courtiers to think of ways to stabilize the situation in the city. Finally, Emperor Ming Cheng actually said: "I will leave it to Qin Aiqing to stabilize the people and prices in the city. If necessary, you can ask the Jin Yiwei to assist you."

"My lord, I obey the order."

Qin Chi responded respectfully, but he was really speechless.

He is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Shouldn't prices and other matters be managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs? Even if it is not left to the Ministry of Revenue, the Department of Soldiers and Horses should be responsible. No matter what, it should not be his turn.

It's approaching noon.

A group of ministers suddenly heard executions and screams coming from outside.

Emperor Mingcheng led everyone out of the palace gate.

I saw Jixiang leading people to clean up the spies in the palace, and captured more than a dozen palace residents to be beaten to death.

"Ah! Lord Admiral, I am wronged. That thing is not a small thing, it was framed by someone..."

"Spare the little one, ah!"

The screams were endless.

It sounded strange, and the person who came over seemed like someone he bumped into accidentally, and he was so frightened that his heart went crazy.

Emperor Ming Cheng said indifferently: "Those who have two minds have no need to live."

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

echoed an official nearby.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty brought people to see this **** scene in order to shock and beat him. Everyone who should understand understands.

Immediately, Emperor Ming Cheng asked people to leave.

Qin Chi went to find the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Xia Wei, the Minister of Household Affairs, was silent, "His Majesty said that he would seek out the Jin Yiwei when necessary. Are you going there just after leaving Qianqing Palace?" Seeing that Qin Chi was not hiding anything, he couldn't help but remind him. "I don't want to, but the rebels who have escaped outside have not been cleared away, so it is very necessary. Otherwise, with the few manpower in the house and I, can we complete what His Majesty has told us?" Qin Chi not only wants to find the Jin Yiwei To borrow people, we have to go to Jingzhao Mansion and the Military and Horse Department to borrow people. "As for the grain merchants and other issues, I have to trouble Xia Shangshu to make it easier."

He always wants to know how many grain merchants and grain shops there are in the capital, and who has the most grain hoards. He also has to go through the files of the Ministry of Household Affairs, or ask someone from the Ministry of Household Affairs to give a list.

Xia Wei understood what he said, "This is a small matter. I will explain it later and let someone sort out the list."

"Thank you." Qin Chi bowed to him gratefully.

Xia Wei responded politely.

The two of them were still walking together for a while. Xia Wei looked around and saw that the people closest to them were several feet away. He came close to Qin Chi and whispered: "There is something wrong with His Majesty, have you noticed?"

"You mean...powder?"

When Qin Chi spoke vaguely, he tapped his face with his finger.

Xia Wei raised his eyebrows, "Did you notice?"

"I found it when I looked up."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Most courtiers did not dare to look directly at Emperor Ming Cheng.

Qin Chi and others were no exception, but when Mr. Xu called his name, when he looked up at Mr. Xu, he secretly glanced at Emperor Mingcheng.

In the past, Qin Chi would have ignored it, saying that he had put on Song Jin's makeup. He studied it a few times in private and paid attention to it. He soon noticed that Emperor Ming Cheng's complexion was inconsistent and not as rosy as he showed. After a few more looks, I realized it was powdered.

Men wearing makeup has been very common in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The Great Xia Dynasty was no exception. In addition to applying powder and face grease, some men also used mouth grease and incense. Yan Xianqing especially loved spices and often used pepper to smoke his clothes. When he was near him, there was a smell of pepper.

However, Emperor Ming Cheng might have paid attention to his appearance when he was young, but since he got older, he rarely bothers with himself. At least since Qin Chi entered the court as an official, he has hardly been a fan of Emperor Ming Cheng.

This time there is.

So, what to cover up?

Sick look!

After the rebels entered the palace, news in the palace was blocked.

What happened in the palace last night, there was no news outside. However, it was impossible for Emperor Mingcheng not to be angry about such a big matter. Last time, Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty luckily escaped death due to the "rejuvenation" incident.

It doesn’t mean that nothing happened to your body.

It's just that there won't be any problems in a short period of time.

Now the rebels are in trouble again, and major events happen one after another. According to Emperor Ming Cheng's violent temper, it will be difficult not to suffer from anger. However, you still need to cover up when you are sick...

Things are getting serious!

Xia Wei didn't dare to think any further.

He decided to hold in his stomach what he discovered today.

Qin Chi, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and went to find the important person in command of the Jinyi Guards. It happened that Chen Qianhu brought someone to assist him. He then went to the Household Department and the government office, and then to the government office of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to ask for help. First, pay attention to the shops in the upper city to see if anyone is taking the opportunity to make money from the country's difficulties. Sometimes, you will be reminded in time.

Get busy once you get there.

Qin Chi missed lunch again.

Qin Ba came over with a food box and put it on the table in front of Qin Chi. He reported the situation in the city outside. For example, Mr. Wen Ge was seriously injured by the rebels last night and was lying at home waiting.

"Sir, something happened in Wu Bohou's mansion." Qin Ba whispered again.

Qin Chi was surprised, "Isn't he home last night?"

"It was the escaped rebels who went to Wu Bohou's mansion. The female relatives in the mansion were either dead or raped by the rebels, including Miss Wu..." Qin stopped at eight o'clock.

Qin Chi has not yet taken action against the Wu family.

The Wu family is in trouble again?

Did the rebels go to Wu's house intentionally, or did they pass by accidentally?
