The southern part of the Yangtze River is mostly staggered with low mountains, basins, hills and other landforms, and the flood breaks through the embankment, which is unstoppable and rags again, although it is not as ferocious as the first time, but it also kills many people.

The 300,000 catties of disaster grain just transported by the imperial court were also submerged in the flood, and only part of it remained.

If all this food is kept in one place, it is fine, but it is all distributed, and the food is scattered and washed away by the water, and it can be found again.

Some of the crops that had just been rescued were about to come back to life, and they were once again hit by the flood, and although many people were not swept away by the flood, they knelt in front of their own one-third of an acre and wept bitterly.

Autumn is not successful, how to feed a family, how to survive the winter......

The beauty of the country lies only in the books, if the country is so easy to govern, there will be no change of dynasty, and there will be no faint king.

As the saying goes, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind, and just returned to Jiangnan Mansion, Zhao Shu was stunned.

I saw that in front of the Jiangnan Mansion, there were dense people, either holding hoes, or sickles, or kitchen knives, surrounded by several old men, and the old men each held a piece of black iron in their hands.

Xuantie was held aloft, "Please come out and give an explanation!" ”

"I beg the emperor to dispose of the crown prince!"

"The prince is the reincarnation of a demon!"

"The prince will kill us all!"

These lines, which I don't know where I got from, made the prince's body tremble, and he wanted to spend his life to create a peaceful and prosperous world for them, and now he is shouting that he is a demon!

What is the hard work?

For this reason, he put down so much, and even almost lost his life, what is the purpose?

"Tai ......" Zhao Shu was just about to comfort the prince, but he took the initiative to expose himself in front of others.

"I am what you call the crown prince." As he spoke, all sounds stopped, except for the sound of the hot wind blowing on his face and the leaves of the trees on the side of the street swaying in the wind.

Since the prince came to Jiangnan, **** will personally supervise the water control, sometimes even digging mud and moving stones like the people, eating with the people and soldiers, and never putting the prince on the shelf.

Some of the people gathered in front of the Jiangnan Mansion had seen the prince, and at that time, they were also moved by the virtues of the prince, what a good prince, personally digging mud, personally moving stones, not shouting tired, not afraid of hardship, and a brocade prince's dress was stained with mud and did not care.

But at this time, the piece of iron in the old man's hand was clearly and clearly written, the prince was the reincarnation of the demon, in order to make the world become hell! Let the bones be all over the field, and they are here to kill them.

In the face of fear, it doesn't matter whether others will be wronged or not, the flood is raging, the plague is rampant, and the prince is killed, which has become a straw in the waves, and they just want to live, so the virtues they thought they had before, and the praises they had said when they were moved, have long been left behind.

After the flood, there will be famine, there will be a plague, except for believing in the gods in the sky, believing in the bodhisattvas in the temple, believing in the rumors of gods and ghosts, they don't know what to believe, and they don't know what to save them from the dire situation.

So, don't tell them that the traitor will be beheaded, don't say anything about the majesty of the imperial court and the inviolability of the court, and death on the left and right, why not fight?

After the silence, the sound of discussion and angry scolding instantly filled the yamen.

"You return my son, return my son." An old woman took the lead in attacking, digging the prince with a hoe in her hand, and the royal forest army around her knew that the prince would not hurt a person, so she took a hoe for him.

The prince ignored the old woman and pulled the Imperial Forest Army aside, "It is the principle not to hurt the people, but you are not wrong, you don't have to be beaten by them, and the next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't bear it." ”

"Your Highness, your subordinates are willing to bear for you, no matter what others say about you, in the hearts of your subordinates, you are a good prince." He is just an ordinary soldier, who often protects the princes and princesses when they travel, it is not that he has never seen the world, he can see that the prince is different from others.

Although he has only lived for more than 30 years, he joined the army at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and was later selected as the Imperial Forest Army, begging for a life on the knife edge, for more than ten years, he also knows a few palace maids and eunuchs, and he also knows some secrets that cannot be passed on.

He is not worthy of the crown prince!

"Wicked eagle dog! You die, die! The old woman continued to dig with her hoe, and this time the Imperial Forest Army dodged and did not suffer any more, and at the same time protected the prince behind her.

Zhao Shu sneered when she heard this, the lines were clearly designed in advance, nondescript, but they were heart-wrenching.

However, since the prince chose to stand up, he must have had a plan, she did not get out of the carriage, but listened quietly.

The prince was protected by the soldiers, and along the way, he was no longer a child, and his self-confidence that he could not form an army was temporarily suppressed in the bottom of his heart, cheered up, and tried his best to be extremely calm, as if he was in control.

"Everyone thinks that the flood was caused by Lonely, and that the plague is Lonely, so I ask everyone, why do you want to kill you when Lone has such skills? What do you have? One has no money, and the other has no beauty, why should I be lonely and can't get along with you? "He wants to be reasonable, he doesn't want to order a bloodbath, and he can't be bloodbathed, he can only be reasonable.

The country and the country, there are people, it is called the country.

It's just that he wants to be reasonable, but others don't think so, and in the crowd, someone shouted: "You are a demon, naturally you want to suck away our souls." ”

"Yes, yes, so many people have died, you wicked! Give me back my life! Someone immediately chimed in.

The talk of gods and ghosts has been around for a long time, and the majesty of the imperial court, in front of these myths, what is it?

was provoked again, and a large number of people immediately raised their hands and angrily rebuked the prince, as if they had an uncommon hatred, "Burn the demons, burn the demons!" ”

"Burn the demons, burn the demons!"

"You say that loneliness is a demon and wants to suck away your souls, so why do you still come here? Aren't you afraid that Lone will kill you all? "The prince feels powerless, is this the people he wants to govern?

What is the use of not thinking, not judging, believing only in spirits and gods, and dealing with such foolish people?

What's the use!

"Folks, demons are afraid of yang, and many of us are not afraid." In the crowd, some people provoked again, and the people, who were finally frightened, rose up majestically again.

The prince tried to calm the anger in his heart, but he still did not move to kill, slaughtering the people today, tomorrow is his death, it is the death of Dayong.

However, Zhao Shu couldn't care so much, she didn't have so much patience, she lifted the curtain violently, pulled out the sword in Wei Tingsi's hand, rushed to the front of the person, without saying a word, the sword was on the shoulder of an old man, "I see who dares to speak again!" One more thing, the lord of this county has killed him all over the house! ”

"Folks, don't be afraid, she doesn't dare!" If you dare to slaughter the people now, there will be a righteous army rushing into Jiangnan Mansion tonight, leaving everyone in Jiangnan Mansion dead without a place to be buried.

In the crowd, there were several troublemakers, and as soon as they shouted here, someone said on the other side: "Warriors, you also have fathers and elders in your family, and you also have relatives, do you want to watch these bullies bully and humiliate the defenseless innocent people?" Think about your parents in the family, think about your brothers and sisters, can you bear to help and abet? ”

The man was clever and tried to pry the guards away.

Zhao Shu sneered, "Do you see people clearly?" She turned back to Su Xiu.

Su Xiu and Liang Xi nodded, flew into the crowd, and pulled out the troublemaker.

The two of them acted very rudely, and they threw the person and fell to Zhao Shu's feet, Zhao Shu withdrew his sword and stepped on the man.

Although Jiangnan Mansion was not flooded, the flood on the street also submerged the foot ring, the man drank a few mouthfuls of floodwater, coughed fiercely, and wanted to struggle to get up, but Su Xiu stepped on his leg with one foot.

"Ahh He screamed in pain, but Zhao Shu's sword was already at his throat.

"I don't dare?" Zhao Shujian pointed at the troublemaker, but looked at the frightened people, "Does anyone know this person?" ”

No one replied, looking at Zhao Shu like a devil.

"There is plague in and outside the city, and the plague spreads very quickly, maybe any of you have already contracted the plague, as long as you confess this person's family, the lord of the county will be in charge, let the imperial doctor come and treat him, and reward him with a hundred taels of silver."

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, but as soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, not because they didn't want to be healed by the imperial doctor, nor did they not want silver, to put it bluntly, this person has no relatives and no reason for them, for the sake of his family, what about being a bad person?

Sacrificing a person to save a family, he is accumulating virtue.

Instead, they found out they didn't even know the person.

Zhao Shu sneered, she knew early on that this was the result, "What? Everyone is so kind? Knowing your kindness to him, but cruelty to your family, don't you want money, and don't you want a cure for the plague? You guys are really kind, the lord of this county is so touched to see it! ”

Mocking, Zhao Shu has only one expression, mockery.

In the face of death, most of them are selfish, that's right, if she were her, she would also be very selfish.

However, if the object of selfishness is replaced by her person, then it is a different matter.

"We don't know him." Finally someone mustered up the courage to say.

Zhao Shu laughed, "Hehe, don't you know? I don't know each other, so who do you know? ”

When the man saw Zhao Shu asking him, he didn't want to answer, but Zhao Shu was too imposing, so he had to say, pointing to the big man beside him: "I know him, it's my second brother-in-law." ”

"Bring it here." Zhao Shu instructed Liang Xi.

Liang Xi is a person who practices martial arts, where is the opponent of ordinary people, the big man has not yet reacted, and the person has been brought to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu raised his sword, and the sword that exuded a cold light was placed on his shoulder, and then the man who answered the other party said: "As long as you confess his wife and children, parents, the lord of this county is in charge, send you to Beijing, and give you the house silver, if you don't believe it, I can swear to God." ”

"You...... What are you going to do to my lady? Dahan still seems to be a wife who loves him, and his face is pale with fright at this time.

"Do what?" Zhao Shu said slowly: "Naturally, I killed to vent my anger, how about it?" She looked back at the man, "As long as you confess, I will immediately swear to God that I will give your family a way to live." ”

"You know, there is a plague in Jiangnan, do you know what the plague is? There will be deaths, many people will die, village by village, you don't want to die, right? Seeing that you are still young, you should not have lived enough. ”

Her words, as if magical, can seduce people's hearts.

"I offer, I offer, nobleman, I am willing to confess his family, I wonder if you can send me and my father-in-law to the capital?" A woman jumped out in a hurry and looked at Zhao Shu expectantly.

The big man and the woman seemed to know each other, and he said in disbelief: "Aunt Liu, how can you be like this? ”

"There are only a few people in your family, and there are more than a dozen people in our family, this is a good deal, two pillars, Aunt Qingming will burn paper for you." The woman was also hated on a daily basis, but at this time no one blamed her, and some people were even annoyed that they did not take the lead.

Zhao Shu put away the sword, patted the big man's hand, and pointed at the woman: "See?" This is the wickedness. ”

The big man lowered his head in shame, Zhao Shu no longer paid attention to him, he was just a person who was instigated and bewitched and superstitious.

"In the face of natural disasters, you don't think about how to survive, but you want to burn the prince who loves the people like a son, what is the difference between you and the demons?" Her voice was loud, almost roaring, with the crispness of a female voice, but it shook everyone.

"Life is your own life, pie will not fall from the sky, in the face of great calamity, you should unite and help each other to tide over the difficulties together, and you, listen to rumors, gather people to make trouble, if the prince is not here today, but a grumpy person, think for yourself, what will be your fate?"

"It will be a different place, blood will be spattered on the spot, why impose unwarranted absurdity on the prince? You scolded him, he didn't fight back, beat him, he didn't fight back, just ask, how can there be such a prince since ancient times? He is a dignified prince, the prince of a country, what are you? It's a common man! He loves you so much, why is there not contentment? Is it content to live under tyranny? ”

Everyone was frightened and provoked to lose their minds, and after listening to Zhao Shu's words at this time, they all felt that it was very reasonable, and at the same time, a fear rose in their hearts that they were going to burn the prince to death just now.

However, some people were still very worried, raised the iron in their hands and said, "How can this be explained?" ”

How to explain the divine right of kings? Say it's fake? It can't be said that the ruling class does not allow it, to say that it is true? That must not be said.

"Show me something." She put it down ruthlessly and gently, so that the people were not so afraid, and there was some shame in her heart, so she handed the iron to Zhao Shu.

There are a total of five or six pieces, each piece has a few lines of words, Zhao Shuzai read it carefully, and had to give Zhao Bi a thumbs up, the story he made up is not so profound, it is estimated that there is no time to prepare, it is very easy to understand, catchy, and the purpose is to incite the people to make trouble.

The story is roughly that the prince was a wolf demon in his previous life, hunted by the people, and in this life he wants to take revenge......

It is such a simple story that raises the fear in the hearts of the people in the flood and plague to the top, thinking that if they burn the demons to death, they will be able to live.

Anger and fear are at work, and they have long forgotten how the prince worked hard to control the water, and how he truly loved the people like a son.

"This is not talking about the prince, if the above 'Yi' is the prince, then why did God make him the prince of Dayong? Could it be that God is dissatisfied with everyone? If God is dissatisfied with everyone, then everyone flees to the ends of the earth and burns all the people with the word 'Yi' in their names, it is a death, what do you think? ”

Sure enough, it is more effective to use God to say things, God is the master, it is omnipotent, it is impossible not to discover the wolf demon's scheme, if the prince is really a demon, God is dissatisfied with them.

No, no, no, no.

Suddenly, everyone was silent, and shame and self-blame appeared on their faces, "The grass people are guilty, please ask the prince to surrender." Realizing their mistake, they all knelt down and kowtowed in the flood.

"Folks, don't believe it, if you don't burn the prince, God won't be angry." The man lying on the ground did not give up, and continued to provoke.

Zhao Shu glanced at him coldly, Su Xiu understood, turned his hand and broke his neck, and the sound of his neck breaking was particularly crisp.

This is an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

At this time, the prince gently pulled Zhao Shu to his side, lowered his voice and asked, "Ah Jun, you know medical science, tell me the truth, can the plague be cured?" "Historically, the plague was incurable, and every time there was a plague, a large number of people died.

It is no exaggeration to say that one village is dead.

Zhao Shu replied in a heavy low voice: "The dead man is certain, but it won't be too strict, I need Old Lady Peng, Brother Prince, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid, Ajun go back to Beijing quickly, you are weak." He is the crown prince, so he naturally has to advance and retreat with his people.

"No, I have a lot of people, as long as I do a good job of protection, it won't be too strict." Zhao Shu now wants Zhao Bi and his party to be infected with lungs, glands, skin, or throat......

Oh, yes, she can't control it, but it doesn't matter, she likes to release viruses so much, she must let them experience it for themselves.

The prince has great trust in Zhao Shu, and she said that if she will not be too strict, she will definitely not be too strict.

After organizing the language, he raised his voice and said: "Folks, if your home has been washed away, the court will set up temporary tents, everyone can rest assured, the court will not ignore you, and will spend the difficulties with you alone." ”

"Thank you, prince, thank you." The people didn't hear the conversation between Zhao Shu and the prince, but when they encountered major events, they would still habitually expect the court to do something.

Chen Jianbo and the others, who peeked behind the gate of the mansion, breathed a long sigh of relief, he was ready to kill, but fortunately it didn't get to that point.

After the people dispersed, Zhao Shu and the prince entered the palace, and everyone immediately gathered in the front hall to discuss.

"If it is simply a dam that breaks out and the plague breaks out, the old man still thinks that it is a natural disaster, and at this time, the old man thinks that someone must be operating behind it." Yan Shi endured.

can't wait to destroy the prince, it's really stupid, it's completely unnecessary to say that the demon is evil, and he adds to the snake and sends flaws.

The person behind him is also stupid enough.

Everyone looked at each other, and they had already guessed a name in their hearts, Yan Shiren, as a royalist, although he knew that the princes were fighting fiercely, and Zhao Shu and the crown prince did not avoid him, but he didn't really want to get involved in the struggle for succession, but at this time, he changed his mind.

If Zhao Bi is allowed to ascend the throne, the world will usher in another tyrant!

"Is the city closed, the village closed?" Wei Tingsi asked Chen Jianbo.

Chen Jianbo can be the capital of Jiangnan Mansion, so he will naturally be able to do things, he nodded, "It's sealed." ”

"When the plague breaks out, someone must leave, and at any cost, find out this beast for me." Zhao Shu was full of anger, as if she couldn't put out the fire without slaughtering the city.

"Yes." Chen Jianbo was bitter in his heart, Jiangnan, which he had finally governed, only had one immortal fight, and there were thousands of holes.

The prince thought for a long time before interjecting, "It has been hundreds of years since the last plague outbreak, if the plague is ** this time, where is the source of the disease?" Chen Aiqing, please be sure to find out as soon as possible. "If you find the source of the disease, Zhao Bi won't want to run away.

The corners of Yan Shiren and Chen Jianbo's mouths unconsciously raised slightly, what they want to assist is such a monarch, who does not kill innocents indiscriminately, and when it comes to evidence, this society is still good for the rule of law.

Zhao Shu didn't speak, according to her temper, she was going to feed the beast with plague rats.

At this time, several people were discussing the strategy of cleaning up the mess in the front hall, but Zhao Bi was not so comfortable.

A woman in her forties, her face covered in a hydrangea mask, she saw Zhao Bi and slapped her hand.

Zhao Bi held his face and said aggrievedly: "Mother......"

"Slap" is another slap, and the sound is more crisp.

Zhao Bi didn't understand, anger flashed on his face, but he didn't explode, "Mother, why do you want to beat your son?" ”

"Slap" slapped again, and Zhao Bi was beaten unsteadily and turned around, and as soon as he stood firm, he "slapped" and slapped again.

The strength was so great that Zhao Bi's fair face instantly floated with red marks, and his faces were high and swollen, and he was hot and painful.

"Idiot! Who told you to break the levees and spread the plague in the city? The woman's cold voice seemed to come from hell.

Zhao Bi stood firm, touched his face, and said extremely aggrievedly: "What's wrong with this? If the water can't be cured, and the plague breaks out, Zhao Yi can no longer be the prince, what's wrong? ”

"Slap" slapped again, this time directly throwing Zhao Bi to the ground, hitting the chair coffee table, and the chair coffee table fell to the ground.

"Why does a mother beat her son? Zhao Shu bad son's brocade workshop, and his son just returned it. That reason was obviously not convincing, and he changed it.

"Bastard, people are dead, who respects you as the emperor? Jiangnan is rich, look at what you have made it look like? How to compare with the whole Jiangnan and the whole world? Stupidity! ”

Zhao Bi is still not convinced, but it is just a big flood, just a few people died, what is the fuss? Once the success is done, the bones are withered, and the great deeds are all piled up with white bones, just a few fools, what does it matter?

But he was not convinced, but he didn't dare to express it, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.

"Pack up and set off for Xiliang, your father ordered you to be rehabilitated." The woman took out a holy decree from her arms and threw it to Zhao Bi.

Zhao Bi took it and unfolded it, frowned and said, "Why is Xiliang?" ”

"If you want to go, your imperial uncle won't do anything to you." The woman didn't care.

Zhao Bi breathed a sigh of relief, not too surprised by this result, "What about Xiao Qi?" ”

"Mei'er hasn't seen you for a long time, you go to see her, if you wronged Mei'er, I'll kill you and him." The woman was extremely domineering, so she threw off her robe and walked away.

Zhen Qizhong leaned on the door frame and walked out weakly, "Ahem." The intense cough made his face flush, and he looked weaker, but there was a kind of morbid beauty.

Zhao Bi hurriedly went to help, "Why did you come out?" Take good care of your illness. ”

"Madame is right, you haven't seen the concubine for a long time." He said it lightly, but it made Zhao Bi feel that he was forcing a smile on his face, and he became more and more distressed.

Time, a few days back, in the palace of the capital, Concubine Ning came out of the queen mother's palace, her face was covered with frost, and at the same time, the thick worry in her eyes seemed to be overflowing into substance.

Huanzi helped her and said softly: "Niangniang, why don't you find a concubine to think of ideas?" ”
