Chapter 267: Two chapters in one
Zixia Mountain is an outstanding person, not controlled by people, not subject to etiquette, what King Mu and his fiancΓ©e do every day is to listen to the Taoism of Qin Yu people in Zixia Temple, and then enjoy the scenery and flowers in the back mountain to appreciate each other.
As long as people look at each other well, they will naturally feel that the other party is the best if there is a sand in their eyes.
If it weren't for the letter from the capital, King Mu would have been isolated from the world in Zixia Mountain and married to the six ladies and immortals.
The little maid from the East Palace ran up to Zixia Mountain with two big red invitations, and rushed there again after getting the letter from His Royal Highness King Mu who was in Fengyue Pavilion.
When I arrived at the back mountain of Zixia Mountain, I saw His Royal Highness King Mu rolling up his sleeves, pedaling on the stone bench in the pavilion, and holding a pheasant in his hand and brushing oil and roasting.
On the side is the third young man of this year's new science detective Hua Langjun's family, who, like His Royal Highness King Mu, rolled up his sleeves and straddled the stool, holding a delicate iron rod, and turning over the roasted pheasant.
The two masters went into battle in person, but the people who served only fought on the side, and handed over the needed things from time to time.
Look at the six ladies and the fourth ladies of Jifu, the two ladies are sitting on the stone railing chairs next to the pavilion in white clothes, holding teacups and laughing, as if they are talking about something happily.
The little guy in the East Palace had never seen such a formation, and his heart was surging, he only felt that he had seen it wrong, so he quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and then opened it, but what he saw was still such a picture!
OMG!
The things in the world are so wonderful that people can't speak, so, is the one who is roasting the chicken really His Royal Highness King Mu?
I don't know if the impact of this scene is too strong, or if today's sun is too vicious, the little maid in the East Palace only feels that his whole person is dizzy, and he can't find the southeast and northwest.
Xi Shan listened to the advice of the people in the pavilion, and saw the little guy standing at the bottom of the distance, staring at him with big eyes and looking at him with great shock, and went out of the pavilion to receive the big red invitation in the hand of the little guy.
"Give it to me, you go back and return to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Mu will definitely be present at the Prince's birthday banquet. β
The little guy handed over the invitation to Xi Shan in a daze, and finally took a deep look at His Royal Highness King Mu, who was "extraordinary" in the pavilion, and resolutely turned around and left.
It must be because the sun is too poisonous, Zixia Mountain is the mountain of Taoism, and the people in the mountain are outstanding, and this is the place where Qin Yu people want to cultivate and become immortals and ascend, how can he allow His Royal Highness King Mu to eat roast chicken in this mountain!
The little guy walked too fast, so he didn't see the picture of Qin Yuren taking Xiaomi'er into the Fengyue Pavilion and fighting for chicken legs and chicken breasts with the six ladies of Jifu.
Ji Yunliu held the chicken leg in his hand, and said righteously: "Senior brother, you are a master who wants to soar to become an immortal and rank in the immortal class, you must quit greed and keep quiet, how can you eat big fish and meat in the holy land of Zixia Mountain!"
Qin Yuren smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take the chicken leg, and put it in the millet bowl: "Master Zu said that good conduct, Guangji and kindness to people are the foundation of humanity, as for abstaining from meat and ranking in the immortal class, it is not for the senior brother to seek, life has enjoyed glory in the world, and he is a mortal after receiving five grains, and the senior brother is a mortal, since birth, old age, sickness and death are irresistible, then chicken legs and chicken breasts must also be enjoyed." β
Xiaomi'er picked up the chicken leg, quickly took a bite, and raised her head to thank sincerely: "Thank you Uncle Shi for the chicken leg." β
Ji Yunliu, who is empty in his hand: "......"
It's so cheap, it's really all about cheating money.
After eating this pheasant feast, after the maid and the little maids destroyed the corpses, the four of them returned to the courtyard to clean up and go down the mountain.
Before leaving, Qin Yuren asked Xiaomi'er to hold a pot of cannas with Taoist talismans to see him off.
"His Royal Highness King Mu, this canna has a lot to do with you, she is now borrowing a trace of vitality with His Royal Highness King Mu, putting her next to you can help her practice, so poor to ask for a favor for her, I hope King Mu will go down the mountain with her this time. β
This canna is also Yuheng's life-saving benefactor, Qin Yuren has already said so, he naturally will not refuse, he personally took the flower pot from Xiaomi'er's hand and agreed.
"Qin Yuren rest assured, I will definitely take good care of this canna and let her make up for her lost cultivation. β
After the canna was borrowed, Ji Yunliu and Qin Yuren used the spiritual power of the Dao Fu in her flower pot to set up a formation to gather the spirit for her to practice, although the "body" of the Dao Fu was still romantic at this time, hearing the Seven Princes say this, they wanted to wave a few branches and leaves to show her happiness, but they had to give up due to the restrictions of the Dao Fu.
Qin Yuren looked at the posture of the canna and smiled lightly, and wanted to say something more, but the corner of his eye was suddenly flashed by the strong light of the sky.
In broad daylight, ordinary people can't see such a star, but as soon as Qin Yuren saw this star, he immediately took away the light smile on his face, stretched out his hand and quickly pinched it.
"Senior brother," Ji Yunliu obviously saw such a strong shining star, "That is a disaster star, what kind of hexagram did you just pinch." β
With Qin Yu in front, Ji Liu didn't plan to get an axe in the class, for some reason, after she came here, the hexagram she pinched couldn't be said to be inaccurate, but the accurate ones were more "tortuous", so it was better to listen to the experts.
When Yu Heng heard this, he raised his head and looked at the sky, but saw that in the clear sky, only the fiery red sun was on his head, and the seven princes looked at the bright sun above, frowned and thought about it, the weather is too hot this year, much hotter than usual, it seems that something big will happen in the middle of the court in a few days.
"The star of calamity appears in the daytime, and it must be ominous. "Qin Yuren looked at Yu Heng, "Poor Dao Shi got a hexagram of empty death." β
Ji Yunliu: "Empty death, the patient is ominous in the dark ghost, and the appearance of the murderer!"
"Fierce?"
Jun Zinian and Ji Yunwei on the side were taken aback, what Qin Yuren said naturally would not doubt the truth or falsehood, but what was the murder?
"Everything is unknown...... Yu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that this year, the Central Plains encountered a great drought that is rare in a century, with countless deaths and a plague! This matter will not reach Beijing until two months later, and it is said that the plague in some villages and counties has been uncontrollable at this time, and it is this year that the prince took the lead in taking out 350,000 taels of silver for disaster relief!
"The weather is hot every day this year," Yu Heng's heartstrings fluttered, looking directly at Qin Yuren, and said solemnly, "This kind of weather is most likely to cause drought, the farmland will dry up, and the people will have no food to eat...... Qin Yuren, will the murderer you pinched mean like this?"
"Drought?" Ji Yunliu knew that he would never talk nonsense when he experienced rebirth, and asked directly, "Seventh Master, where will the drought occur?"
Yu Heng: "The land of the Central Plains, first Jiangxia County, then spread from north to south, until a large-scale plague appeared in the entire Central Plains. β
The gentleman stared at the Seven Princes in surprise, so shocked that he couldn't speak, this thing had not happened yet, why could the Seven Princes accurately say the place, as if the plague had spread?
Qin Yuren looked at Yu Heng's face, which was stuffed like frost under the snow, and there was no intention of playing, Qin Yuren thought about it carefully, and bowed his hands solemnly: "Poor Dao, please wait here for a while, and wait for a letter from Poor Dao to be forwarded to His Royal Highness to the emperor." β
Yu Heng will never refuse this.
This letter was written on the spot, Xi Shan took his back as a table, Tanhualang grinded, Qin Yuren made a stroke, and wrote all the disasters he saw, the hexagrams he saw, and the disasters he "guessed" into the letter, and asked the seven princes to bring them to the capital and hand them over to the emperor.
The weather was hot, and the Seven Princes sat in the carriage and headed back to Beijing.
In the car, he held Qin Yuren's letter, carefully recalling the drought and plague in the previous life.
In the Central Plains, where the plague broke out on a large scale, there was no news in Beijing, and the noble family continued to sing and dance, and the prince was also drunk and dreamed of death......
It wasn't until September that a lot of refugees suddenly jumped out of Beijing, and the emperor knew that there was a plague in the Central Plains, and the epidemic had reached an uncontrollable situation.
Then, the people in the capital were suddenly panicked, and the people suddenly stopped going to the streets, and the streets were as cold as night during the day.
Yu Heng frowned and sank in his thoughts, in the last life, he looked at the prince's "generosity" and took out 50,000 taels of silver for disaster relief because of this matter, when the emperor was furious, and all the officials of the Central Plains states and counties were imprisoned for the crime of deceiving the superiors and concealing the subordinates.
At that time, he thought that the time had come to eradicate the crown prince, but he didn't want to, but it was King Jing who benefited from this matter.
"Seventh Master," Yu Heng's eyes were blank, his thoughts were sinking, and he felt his soft hand caress between his eyebrows, "What do you think? β
"Yunliu," the Seventh Prince grabbed Ji Yunliu's hand and eased his senses, "I'm thinking about the plague this time." β
"What the hell is going on?" Ji Yunliu also wanted to know the specific details of this natural disaster, "Will many people die?"
"Well, a lot of people died. Yu Heng recalled, "At that time, when I knew it in Beijing, the states and counties of the Central Plains were already full of desolation, and there was hunger everywhere, and the most terrible thing was not the drought, but the plague, the plague spread to the states and counties of the Central Plains, and the whole dynasty was helpless, and it was impossible to control it at all, until the heavy snow came in December, and the weather was cold and frozen, and the situation was controlled. β
"Ah, so serious. Ji Yunliu exclaimed in a low voice.
Although China is not a super-hegemon in the 21st century, it has always been peaceful and mutually helpful in China, although Ji Yunliu has not seen large-scale starvation everywhere, she has also seen the devastation after the earthquake, and she has also seen the news of refugees from civil war countries dragging their families and drifting across the sea, thinking about the uncontrollable plague in Yuheng's mouth, and the death of 100,000 people because of it, her voice was a little dumb, "Didn't it start with Jiangxia first? How could it have expanded so seriously at that time to let it know? Didn't the local officials report it in time?"
Yu Heng said: "The patrol of the Central Plains is Su Jixi's younger brother Su Haicheng, Su Haicheng concealed the drought in Jiangxia County for fear of being questioned, thinking that the lack of grain in the south and the supply in the north would stabilize the situation. They also sent people to hunt down and kill the refugees who fled Jiangxia County. β
Ji Yunliu sat quietly in the carriage and listened attentively to Yu Heng's talk about the situation in the DPRK and China, "Yu Cheng has been sitting on the throne of the crown prince for twenty-eight years, and when the prince was ten years old, Empress Wan pointed out the Su family for the prince, even if the prince is ignorant, but most of the state and county officials in Dazhao still rely on the prince and stick to the Su family. In order to make meritorious contributions, Su Haicheng concealed the fact that there was a plague in Jiangxia, which led to the spread of the plague, and in the end, countless people died. β
After Su Haicheng was put in prison, and the Su family gradually lost power, Yulin took the opportunity to change blood in the states and counties of the Central Plains, and installed many of his own people.
"Seventh Master," Ji Yunliu shook Yu Heng's hand instead, "We already know about this matter now, and you have to tell the emperor about this matter as soon as possible while it is still time." Even if we can't save all the people, we can minimize casualties. β
"Hmm. Yu Heng replied heavily, "I must let my father and the emperor know about this matter, and we must not let this natural disaster become a man-made disaster and make a comeback." β
In his previous life, he had heard of countless deaths, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he didn't have any heartbreak, and only that pity was blown away when he learned that Yulin quickly installed his connections into the counties.
In this life, I don't know if it was a tragic death, or because he had seen the throne in a dream, he didn't care about anything to go to the states and counties to install people, he just wanted to go to the palace as soon as possible to tell the emperor about it, and make arrangements and precautions.
Thinking of this, Yu Heng let go of Ji Yunliu and shouted to stop.
After getting out of the carriage, the Seven Princes left Xi Shan to escort the carriage, drove the horse alone, whipped his hand, kicked Qin Yuren's letters, and took the lead in going straight to the capital.
β¦β¦
The emperor sat behind the table, looked at King Mu, whose face was flushed with running, took the letter handed by Yu Heng, opened it and read it from beginning to end quietly.
"Qin Yuren said that he saw a calamity star in the sky today?" the emperor did not close the letter, looked at it again and again, and finally asked, "This calamity may mean that there is a natural disaster in my Great Zhao?"
"Yes, when Qin Yuren sent his sons down the mountain, they saw it with their own eyes, and this letter was also written by himself in front of his sons. Yu Heng knelt on the ground, "Father, the weather has been very hot recently, and it has not rained in Beijing for a long time. β
The emperor groaned, lowered his eyes and read the letter carefully, and after half a sound: "If this matter is as Qin Yuren said, a natural disaster is coming, what is your opinion, King Mu?"
The land of Jokhang is vast, Jiangxia is not far from the capital, but it is not close at hand, the emperor's order is passed down, to Jiangxia, and then let the people who have a heart hide it and toss for some time, I am afraid that this ending is not much better than the previous life, if Jingzhong sends Qin to send a place because of this matter, it is impossible to find someone casually.
Yu Heng knelt on the ground, and after meditating, he asked: "Erchen is willing to go to the counties to investigate, if it is as Qin Yuren said, Erchen will definitely let people report quickly." β
The emperor was silent, only staring at Qin Yuren's handwritten letterhead in his hand, and mentioned the hexagram he pinched, celestial astrology, and bluntly said that this natural disaster was probably near Jiangxia.
"In this matter, King Mu, don't be impatient. The emperor finally received the letter, "After the government discusses politics tomorrow morning, I will make plans." β
King Mu withdrew from the imperial study, and the emperor spread out the letter and asked: "Is the patrol sent to the Central Plains by the Su family Su Haicheng?"
Yanfu stepped forward and said, "Back to the emperor, it is Master Su." β
"Hmm. The emperor received the letter, "Even if I take a lunch break in the last two days, if anyone comes to ask for something important, they will come to tell me, don't be afraid that I will disturb my lunch." β
