Chapter 126: It's not a pity to die
"Brother Ziheng, congratulations."
As soon as he came out of the inner room of the second prince, Han Zhihuan came to him, and he congratulated Jia Baoyu with a smile on his face.
Jia Baoyu avoided it quietly.
Xu is naturally sharper than others, and when the second prince gave him the sword of the Son of Heaven before, he saw the faces of everyone in the house.
There are those who are jealous and dissatisfied.
But there are not many people with envy in their eyes.
Han Zhilian is one of them.
Perhaps, he thought that he had followed the second prince for the longest time, and Jia Baoyu's current favor should be placed on him.
Smiling, Jia Baoyu said: "Brother Han is serious, His Royal Highness has gone through this great difficulty, how can I be happy to wait for the song?" ”
Han Zhihuan smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, before His Highness went to Qufu, who gave His Highness the idea?"
Jia Baoyu suddenly asked.
"That was the suggestion of me and my colleagues like Zhang and Qian
Brother Ziheng didn't know that the situation in Tai'an was really anxious like a quagmire at that time.
There was not enough food, and the money had not arrived.
His Royal Highness finally scraped together more than 10,000 taels of silver, thinking that he could buy 10,000 stones of disaster food, but he was told that he could only buy 2,000 stones, and he could only buy a few stones in one place.
The grain merchants in the city hoarded and jointly raised prices, which is really hateful!
Originally, His Highness was going to sacrifice the sword of the Son of Heaven to kill him.
But think about it, how many of the victims in Shandong are not only 20,000 or 30,000 in Tai'an? If the killing is carried out this time, it will inevitably make the wealthy merchants in Shandong and nearby provinces frightened, and it will be even more difficult to get food from them in the future.
At this time of crisis, we proposed to His Highness that it would be better to open up the situation from Qufu.
Qufu, Shandong, where all the great families have gathered, and there is the Yansheng Mansion"
Han Zhihuan is still talking endlessly, but Jia Baoyu is tired of listening to it!
In vain, this person still has to be valued by the second prince, and he used to think that this person is still smart, at least the city government is not ordinary.
Who knows, it's really just talk on paper.
Jia Baoyu thought that in the situation at that time, instead of going to the Yansheng Mansion, it was better to kill a hundred people and deter the grain merchants of the world with blood!
Because, this is no longer a disease of scabies, but the entire Shandong from the government to the people, the ministry is festering.
A dignified son, he can't transfer food in a rich province?
The disease of scabies can be used to be gentle and slowly drawn. Critical illness should be reused!
It is also suggested that His Highness go to Qufu to give the enemy who is secretly peeping an opportunity to take advantage of it?
It's foolish.
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but think of what Ye Qiong said when he was in the capital, the second prince is more talented and insists on what he is sure of, but he is very indecisive and easily misled when he is not sure
So that's right!
Judging from the series of means and momentum of the second prince from the capital, to Cangxi, and then to Shangling, it can be said that he is not a master!
Jia Baoyu even felt that this trip would definitely go well, but he didn't expect that he was still here by mistake.
Taking a deep breath, Jia Baoyu was unwilling to argue with Han Zhihuan at this critical time, because it was pointless.
Nodding casually, he came to the antechamber.
All the officials and generals have not left.
Jia Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then came to the first seat and sat down.
The main seat, that is His Royal Highness the Second Prince.
"Your Highness has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and in the next few days, I still need you to cooperate with me to jointly complete the important task assigned by Your Highness, what do you think?"
Jia Bao said, inadvertently placing the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand on top of the high table.
"The lower officials and others are waiting for the dispatch of the pacification envoy."
"The last general will wait for the order of the adults!"
Although the voices were uneven and a little reluctant, everyone also opened their mouths.
"Good."
Jia Baoyu smiled.
"Master Jiang."
"The end will be."
Jiang Yan stood up and clenched his fists.
He sighed in his heart, half a day ago he said that he wanted to be a minister in the same hall as Jia Baoyu, but in a blink of an eye, he became the other party's subordinate.
Fortunately, this is only temporary, otherwise, he would have died.
"Although the mob outside the city has been killed by the general's soldiers, they still have to be guarded.
Command you to lead all your men and horses and set up camp outside the city to prevent the mob from gathering again. ”
"The last will be ordered!"
After Jiang Yan received the order, he suddenly said: "Yu Zhen Fu envoy, the soldiers under Fang Cai came to report, there are several groups of victims, about dozens and hundreds of people, quietly separated from Tai'an and fled out. ”
Jia Baoyu frowned, and then was relieved.
It must be the leader of the mob formed in the past few days, seeing that the king is irresistible, and he is unwilling to be killed, so he leads the "elite" under his command to take the opportunity to escape in order to make a comeback.
"Lord Jiang listens to orders! I order you to lead the cavalry and annihilate all these forces. ”
"The last will be ordered!"
Jiang Yan stepped right, hugged the army fist and saluted, and then strode out.
Shandong's political envoy trembled and said: "Yu Zhen Fu envoy, those are all disaster victims, so, is it too cruel and unkind?" ”
"Yes, yes."
The civil officials hurriedly agreed.
I have a bad feeling in my heart, this new official is in office, and some of them are too murderous.
Jia Baoyu snorted lightly: "Millions of people in Shandong have been affected, and there are 100,000 displaced people, if these people with bad intentions are allowed to mix into the entire territory of Shandong, at that time, there will be rebellions in various places, what should you do?" ”
"Then you don't have to kill them all, you can order General Jiang to escort people back."
"Seeing that the king has arrived, he is not willing to think that he is the head of Qian, but he is willing to follow the thief and flee, such people, do you still think that they are disaster victims?
The people are simple, but they are inevitably the black sheep.
In the previous tens of thousands of riots, most of the victims could be said to be coerced and forced to survive, but by no means including those who are still loyally fleeing with the anti-thief leader.
Those must be the ones who benefited from the previous riots!
Murder, robbery of porridge sheds, and squandering must have been committed by these people.
So, it's not a pity for them to die! ”
The officials were speechless and had to bow down to the order.
Then they each reported their previous tasks, received new messengers, and then they all went down to work.
Jia Baoyu sat alone in the hall and carefully rubbed the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand
Although he is not a person who is self-respecting, he has to say that this feeling of being in power and no one dares to disobey his fate can really not help but be addicted
Forced to regain his mind and stand up.
Now, this is not the time to think about that.
If you don't do a good job, everything is just a flower in the moon mirror in the water, and it's just a passing cloud.
……
Shandong, which belongs to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, is also the source of the floods in Shandong.
The Ministry of Works' water control staff set up their headquarters on a high mountain thirty miles away from here.
At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs who were in charge of the trip to control the water gathered in a makeshift building.
Grand Sikong Duane was at the top, and asked the scouts below:
"The danger of Tai'an has been solved? Who led the army to save him? ”
"The envoy of Qingzhou Jiedu personally led most of the people to Tai'an and relieved the danger of Tai'an."
Everyone in the hall was surprised.
"Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, how could they arrive so quickly?
Could it be that he Jiang Yan has the ability to predict the future? ”
Qingzhou is hundreds of miles away from Tai'an, how could it be possible to send troops to rescue so quickly?
Could it be that the Qingzhou Festival envoy is so bold that he dares to transfer troops on a large scale when he hears the news? He's not afraid that the information will be wrong?
"In any case, it's a good thing that Tai'an's crisis is solved. Otherwise, it will really make the disaster victims in the whole of Shandong riot, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Duane said.
He is a firm position of the Second Prince's Party, and the Tai'an Rebellion has made him anxious, but now that he suddenly heard that it has subsided, he is naturally a lot more relaxed.
