Chapter 39: Destiny
The sky was slightly bright, and Aunt Zhou went out with a basket. As soon as she came out, she saw Mrs. Li next door coming out with a basket.

Aunt Zhou asked: "Where are you going, madam?"

Mrs. Li replied: "I'm not afraid of Godmother's jokes. When the slave family heard that the official family was seriously ill, they prepared some incense and went to Jiangxin Temple to pray for the official family."

"I have this intention, why don't I go with you." Aunt Zhou said: "The official dismissed the mission, and a lot of burdens were reduced. Who wouldn't be happy? But I didn't expect God to be so blind..."

"Perhaps God doesn't want us to be happy, so he punishes the officials. A little incense can make up for it." Lady Li was also in a low mood.

The two walked together and chatted when they arrived at the ferry outside Fubo Gate. They saw people waiting for the ferry, including men, women, old and young. After a brief inquiry, they all went to Jiangxin Temple to burn incense and pray.

"The officials are so benevolent and righteous, how can we not show some filial piety?"

"Buddha bless you, the officials will live a long life, and the people will be happy for a long time."

"Gaozong was stationed at Jiangxin Temple, and the officials came to build the Heroic Soul Hall. It must be effective. As long as the heart is sincere, the Buddha will definitely respond."

In the hustle and bustle, someone suddenly cursed: "You are a straight mother-in-law, you don't behave like a son of a human being. The official is just seriously ill, so you run away in a hurry, fearing that you will be implicated. You are so unfaithful and unjust, you should be killed!"

Everyone looked around and saw a family carrying boxes one by one on the ship. The whole family was there, and they were obviously going to run away.

The court didn't care about it, and the people couldn't care about it, so they could only scold them and end the matter.

In fact, when the news of the emperor's critical illness leaked out, many wealthy families packed up their things and ran away with buckets.

Obviously, Wenzhou will definitely be the key direction of the Yuan army's attack. Without the little emperor, can it be stopped?If you can't stop it, you know, without a backbone, you can't do anything.

Yuan Lu had just killed tens of thousands of soldiers by the imperial court. When he was furious, he might have to massacre the city. Let's run away early to avoid death.

The poor can only resign themselves to their fate, and Yuanlu may not necessarily massacre the city. Besides, the emperor may not necessarily die, so everyone is burning incense and praying for him.

Because there were so many people who wanted to offer incense, Mrs. Zhou didn't get on the boat until noon. When they ferried to Jiangxin Temple, it was also overcrowded. They even had to queue up to donate money for scented oil, and Zhike Monk was even more busy.

The incense was so prosperous, but the abbot and the prison were not happy.

The Supervisor said: "The Supreme Emperor stayed in this temple and received many awards and incense. It is not as prosperous as it is today. If the emperor is unlucky, the army and the people will be angry, and this temple may be implicated."

"It doesn't matter. The soldiers and civilians worshiped the Buddha and then went to the Hall of Heroes, so this temple will not be implicated." The abbot said, "I'm afraid that if the emperor is unlucky and Wenzhou is difficult to defend, Yuanlu will definitely make trouble for the temple."

"Why don't you demolish the Hall of Heroes first..." The supervisor knew that he had said something stupid, so he stopped decisively.

Now that the Hall of Heroes has been demolished, not to mention what will happen if the emperor gets better, I am afraid that the whole city's soldiers and civilians will destroy Jiangxin Island first.

In the Tiantai County government office, Liu Shiyong was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around in dissatisfaction, while Lin Jingxi was also frowning and thinking hard.

After a long time, Liu Shiyong said: "If your Majesty is unlucky, the Yuan captives will definitely move south in large numbers. Make preparations early and join forces in Wenzhou to hold a stalemate."

Lin Jingxi said: "There is no edict from the imperial court. Do not act rashly, lest you be taken advantage of by the Yuan captives."

Liu Shiyong said: "Now that the Yuan captives have retreated again, I should return to the court to visit Your Majesty to fulfill my duty as a minister."

"Your Majesty is destined to survive this calamity!" Lin Jingxi said: "As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, if you abandon the army at a time when the army's morale is shaken, there will be chaos. How do you know that Yuanlu will not leave and come back?
At present, we should rectify the army and suppress the thieves in Zhujianling, so as to control the main road and protect the whole territory of Taizhou from being invaded by Yuan captives. "

Originally, Dong Wenbing withdrew his troops and led his troops back without waiting for morale to be restored. When he heard that Ali Hague had only spared his life, he withdrew again. Liu Shiyong was about to march into Shaoxing Prefecture. However, news came from behind that the emperor was seriously ill, so he could only hold back his troops. .

At present, the whole army is in panic, fearing that they will suddenly hear the news of the emperor's accident.

Without the wise and wise emperor, who would everyone fight for?
Lin Jingxi said: "Because people are panicked and urgently need a victory to boost the morale of the army, the dog thief Lin Yuzhang occupied Zhujian Ridge to hook up with Yuanlu, which was just the target."

"What the hell, a mere wandering warlock dares to confuse me with evil magic? Take it down with me and torture him severely!" Zhang Shuangguo became furious and tore the talisman in front of him to pieces.

"Don't get angry when you are raising the emperor. It is even more important to calm down at this critical moment." Du Hu advised, then pointed at the warlock in front of him and said: "This person must work carefully for Yuanlu, and he is not a doctor! Tell your superiors and continue to seek doctors. Medical prescription.”

"My lord, spare your life, my lord, spare your life, the little Taoist talisman is really useful!" the warlock shouted.All kinds of cows, gods, ghosts and snakes took the opportunity to appear. Zhang Shuangguo waved his hand and asked people to drag him down and said: "We must be careful. Everyone knows that the official is seriously ill and still causing trouble. There must be some trouble in this matter and a thorough investigation should be carried out."

"I'll take care of this." Du Hu continued.

Zhang Shuangguo added: "If your majesty is unlucky, the Yuan captives will attack in large numbers. We should send more troops to investigate carefully to be prepared."

Du Hu said: "The most important thing is to search for medicine for His Majesty. It has been three days, so we must not delay it."

It's just that the Imperial City Secretary was at the end of his rope, and all the famous doctors in Wenzhou City had seen the emperor, and it was useless.

Not to mention that the folk remedies of those folk doctors were weird and seemed to be inappropriate, so who would dare to give them to the emperor?
Although the ministers were worried, they did not lose their minds, and naturally they would not rush to the doctor in a hurry.

It may also be that the back is not thick enough, and he is afraid of being crushed to death by the cauldron used to murder the emperor.

However, there was a dispute among courtiers as to whether to continue marching westward.

Chen Yizhong said: "Your Majesty is in danger, so the army must not move lightly to prevent unexpected events."

Wen Tianxiang retorted: "Recovering the lost ground can stabilize people's hearts, and it can protect the people. It will also be joyful when His Majesty wakes up. It can achieve multiple things with one stone, why not do it?"

Chen Yizhong retorted: "If something happens to His Majesty and the center has no troops, how can it suppress the four parties?"

Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty has a destiny, and he will definitely turn the crisis into safety!"

Seeing that the two were arguing again, Lu Xiufu said: "Cui Bin and others sent by Jiang Zheng are still in custody. Now that His Majesty can't take care of things, how should we deal with them?"

"It's just a small matter, just deal with it yourself, why bother with it." Chen Yizhong said impatiently: "I think the Queen Mother has received the news and should be prepared for King Li Ning."

"How can Prince Ning be as prepared as your Majesty? You should recall the Grand Master to take charge of the overall situation!" Wen Tianxiang said.

Chen Yizhong said: "The place is important, the grand master should stabilize Fujian as the foundation."

Seeing that the two started to quarrel again, Lu Xiufu sighed and walked towards Zhao Shi's bedroom.

When the emperor was here, everything was in order, and occasional disputes were suppressed instantly. Now the emperor cannot pay attention to matters, and all matters, big and small, are at a standstill.

But what can be done?I can only pray for God's blessing.

In Fuzhou, after reading the report, Mrs. Yang hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Come here, come here."

In his panic, he accidentally stumbled over the threshold and fell to the ground, but he felt no pain. He just shouted: "Get ready for the car and boat, go back to Wenzhou, go back to Wenzhou."

Yang Liangjie hurriedly ran over to help Yang up and asked, "Why is the Queen Mother so panicked?"

"Brother is critically ill, please return to Wenzhou as soon as possible." Yang's voice was cold and scary.

"Your Majesty has a destiny, why are you here, why are you here..." Yang Liangjie stayed for a moment and immediately shouted: "Come, prepare a boat to escort the Queen Mother back to Wenzhou."

Yang turned back to look at Yang Liangjie and said, "Brother is in charge of this place, so there won't be any chaos."

"Empress Dowager, minister..."

Yang said: "The emperor's strategy, Fujian is the foundation, and it is also a shield for flow, and there is no room for loss. You should perform your duties and fulfill your duties in order to control and set up envoys."

"Your Majesty..." Yang Liangjie lowered his head and said, "I accept the imperial edict."

Yang added: "Instruct all localities to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible and strive to enter Jiangxi as soon as possible."

At this time, the post road was not open and the news was transmitted slowly. The Yang family got the news because of the close distance. Jiang Wanzai and other local officials had not yet received the news, so the military situation remained as it was.
