Empress work daily

Chapter 176 Traces
The next day, Qin Sangluo led Zhan Jin to meet Ji Qiang.

This young Jinshi, who entered Baohe Hall together with Sun Jizong and Tao Guangyi this spring to take part in the palace examination, has experienced many dangers and twists and turns just like Sun Jizong and Tao Guangyi in Yongzhou after becoming an official.

As the sword is ruthless, so are the floods and plagues.

In Ji Qiang's impression, Zhan Jinfu was white and weak. In just three months, he has become dark and strong, and he has nothing to do with the image of the handsome scholar in the past.

According to Qin Sangluo, if it wasn't for the timely prescription of the genius doctor this time, Zhan Jin might be in danger.The epidemic dissipated, and the imperial physician said that he was weak and needed to eat more.

From there, he started to have at least three bowls of food every meal, and went for a walk on the riverbank when he was full. After more than a month, he not only gained more than ten catties, but also became much stronger.

Qin Sangluo was recommending this new Jinshi to Ji Qiang in both words and deeds. Obviously, he was very optimistic about him.

Ji Qiang only asked Zhan Jin one question: "How does Pingqing feel about this plague?"

Zhan Jin's lowered eyes blinked, and he didn't make any long speeches or exaggerate his sadness, but just replied in a low voice, "It's good to be alive".

This is something that only a narrow escape would say.

Ji Qiang felt that the heat had come, and ordered Shang Liujia to announce the decree.

Zhan Jin, a fifth-rank member Wailang under the Shuijian sect of the Ministry of Water, was promoted to the fourth-rank Jiangxia prefect in the blink of an eye.

Ji Qiang deliberately watched Zhan Jin's reaction, except for surprise and surprise, he was not unhappy.

Obviously, he doesn't miss Kyoto.

Ji Qiang was very satisfied with Zhan Jin's reaction.Seeing that he did not resign after thanking him, he asked him to speak bluntly. To everyone's surprise, Zhan Jin asked about the recent situation of Sun Jizong and Tao Guangyi.

At the beginning, when the Palace of Preserving Harmony was parted, although they kept contact information with each other, the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and Yongzhou was in war again. He wrote a letter for two months, like a stone sinking into the sea.

The letter was written when he was infected with the plague. At the critical moment of life and death, besides his parents and relatives, the people he wanted to greet the most were the two loyal and courageous talents who led him to "pass the test" and successfully won His Majesty's favor.

Didn't write anything, just a few simple greetings.

Ji Qiang looked at Zhan Jin with admiration, and was also disappointed: "Mochou has no confidant in the future, and no one in the world knows the king."

"A few days ago, I received a note from Sun Jizong. At the end, he also asked me about your recent situation."

Zhan Jin raised his head, his eyes filled with joy, "Since this is the case, I am at ease."

Qin Sangluo and Zhan Jin both retreated, and Ji Qiang walked to the window, where the sun was just shining.

"Look, Your Majesty, how fine the weather is today."

"Yes, yes, the water in the yard has dried up."

"With a few more sunny days, the rainy season will be over."

"We will be returning to Beijing soon."

Yes, I can return to Beijing soon.

But where is the national teacher?

Ji Qiang said silently in his heart.

……

The days passed by, and it took another three days in the blink of an eye.

Shang Xuan has already recovered, not only his complexion has improved a little, but also his appetite has increased a lot.

Ji Qiang was very pleased.

God finally began to open his eyes. Most of the days are sunny, and the rainy days are getting less and less.

The infected river worker has recovered, and there are only a few infected villagers left, and they will recover in the next day.

Everything seems to be turning around for the better.

The floods in the south of the Yangtze River destroyed countless houses and farmland. The imperial court allocated 100 million shi of rice grain and at least 1000 million taels of silver for post-disaster reconstruction.

However, compared with the previous life, what is spending a little money?
This time, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River did not cause riots, no plague broke out, and no bones were scattered.

The forces eyeing Daliang have no chance to wait for an opportunity to invade.

Anyway, this time, she made it through!
Looking at the increasingly sunny blue sky, Ji Qiang felt indescribably relaxed.

The only regret, probably, is that she searched all over the three states in the south of the Yangtze River, but she didn't find any traces related to the national teacher.

Such a result made Ji Qiang even a little suspicious whether the national teacher came to Jiangnan.

lunch.

Ji Qiang's ecstasy several times was noticed by Shang Xuan, and he told the truth: "Is Your Majesty looking for a teacher?"

Ji Qiang: "..."

"What do you mean by that? The national teacher is well-behaved at the Haojing National Teacher's Mansion to retreat and cultivate..."

"A month ago, the national teacher came to Jiangxia to inquire about my identity." Shang Yan stared at the girl who was talking nonsense without thinking, and smiled directly into his eyes.

Ji Qiang: "..."

"You already knew!"

"But you insist on waiting until now!"

It was in vain for her serious nonsense to cover up the whereabouts of the national teacher.

She was a little annoyed, while Shang Xuan looked innocent, "Your Majesty didn't ask me either, if I hadn't guessed what His Majesty wanted today, I don't know how many days it would be."

Don't say that Ji Qiang doesn't believe this nonsense, maybe he doesn't believe it himself.

Ji Qiang stared at Shang Xuan without blinking, her eyes were full of cunning that he was familiar with, she had indeed inherited ten percent of his mind, and she was especially good at reading people's hearts.

At a very young age, he discovered that he had this ability.

"Okay." Shang Xuan stopped teasing her, and told the truth, "The national teacher and I ordered that his whereabouts not be revealed."

Ji Qiang: "Then you still tell me? Didn't you violate the order of the national teacher?"

Shang Xuan: "..."

This kid is so good that he gets cheap.

"Okay." Ji Qiang stopped teasing him, and said solemnly: "Where did the national teacher go later? Do you know his movements? Also, what did he do after he came to Jiangxia?"

Shang Xuan shook his head lightly.

The whereabouts of the national teacher have always been erratic and very unpredictable.

Sure enough, Ji Qiang was not disappointed.It would be terrible if the whereabouts of Daliang Guoshi's deliberate concealment could be spied on at will.

The only thing Ji Qiang can be sure of is that Jiang Jian did not come to the south of the Yangtze River for floods or plagues.

I have never seen a few people who provide disaster relief deliberately hide their whereabouts. If he was not curious about the identity of the genius doctor, he probably would not show up in front of her father.

Ji Qiang felt faintly uneasy, feeling that his whereabouts were mysterious and still related to those unanswered secrets of the two lifetimes.

Shang Xuan could see that Ji Qiang had something on his mind, but he didn't ask any questions.

She is his daughter, yes.

But she's a regal first and foremost.

It wasn't that Shang Xiang did it deliberately, but these things also flowed in his blood.

Considering that Ji Qiang and his entourage will return to the palace in a few days, Shang Yao proposed that the two of them "separate into two routes" to return.

Firstly, there are few people and little movement, which is easy to cover people's eyes and ears.

Secondly, he returned a few days late, and returned after the epidemic situation in Jiangnan completely dissipated.

"After returning to Beijing, I will go to Shanglin to live for a while, and then return to the palace when the time is right." Shang Xuan slowly arranged the follow-up itinerary, "Since I left the palace, there should be many people in Beijing secretly inquiring about me. If I go to Shanglin, His Majesty can take the opportunity to reveal that I actually went to Shanglin to recuperate."

"On Jiang Xia's side, rumors spread that the genius doctor is hidden from the world and his whereabouts are uncertain. What does your majesty think?"

"The clothes are seamless." Ji Qiang praised.

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Two days later, Ji Qiang was preparing to return, and before returning, Yin Buli and Ban Zhuojia were called to Fuya to summarize the disaster relief itinerary for the last time.

At this moment, in the posthouse, Yin Buli was staring at a person angrily.
