Chapter 412: The drunkard doesn't mean to drink

Go to Luoyang now?

Li Chengqian's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately returned to normal and sat down, and asked calmly, "The Sanming Immortal Sect is reversed?"

Xue Rengui and other generals were a little excited when they heard this, and looked at Li Yifu and waited for him to speak.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was not in a hurry, Li Yifu also stabilized, saluted Li Chengqian again, and then said with a solemn expression: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that the matter here is more serious than the rebellion of the Sanming Immortal Sect. ”

"Sit down, y'all!" After a few people sat down on the ground, Li Chengqian looked at Li Yifu Zhengse and said, "Tell King Gu what you saw truthfully." ”

Li Chengqian is still a little uneasy about Li Yifu.

"Yes." Li Yifu saluted again, and truthfully told Li Chengqian what he had seen in Yichuan and Song County in the past few days.

"The minister came to Yichuan County six days ago, and when he passed through Luoyang, the minister did not enter Luoyang City, and when he arrived in Yichuan County, he did not have any contact with any local officials and scholars.

Everything was in accordance with the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and learned from the local people about the livelihood of Yichuan and Song County. ”

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this and asked, "Then what did you find out?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, the people of Yichuan and Song County are really miserable, especially the farmers on both sides of the Yihe River are flooded every two or three years. Although the common people raised their houses and generally did not drown, most of the fertile land would be wiped out in a flood, and it would take several years for them to recover even if they sold their sons and daughters.

If it weren't for some young and strong people close to Luoyang City, who could go to Luoyang City to feed the helpers of large families during their slack time, the people here would have died and fled long ago, and this place would have become an empty land. ”

"Can't you make a little more money when you go to Luoyang to help a big family?" Wang Fangyi asked puzzled.

Li Yifu shook his head when he heard this: "As soon as the farmers around the farm are all in Luoyang City to eat, how many people can Luoyang City use?" If you don't starve to death, you burn high incense. Li Yifu said and sighed.

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment and asked, "I'm afraid that the Sanming Immortal Sect's ability to confuse people's hearts is also related to the difficult survival of the people here, right?"

Li Yifu hurriedly patted his ass and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, it is precisely because of this that the people believe that the Sanming Immortal Sect advocates that there is work to do, eat together, clothes to wear, and difficulties to fight together, plus the Red Fire Demon Maiden has some medical skills, and has cured many illnesses for the people, so that the people of Song County have joined the Sanming Immortal Sect." ”

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, China's rebel experts have been doing this.

Li Yifu continued: "In the first two years, the Sanming Immortal Sect only preached in Song County, until this year it suddenly sent people to Yichuan County to preach.

The day before yesterday, Xue Shangshu personally went to Dai Zhide in Luoyang City and asked him to order the people to start repairing the canal in Yichuan and Song County, and Dai Zhide issued an order in front of Xue Shangshu.

Xue Shangshu also came to Yichuan County again yesterday evening, but early this morning, the Sanming Immortal Sect encouraged more than 10,000 people to go to the county government to petition, asking not to build reservoirs and canals.

The minister felt that something was wrong and inquired among the people, it turned out that the Sanming Immortal Sect had long known about this, and the plan was to encourage the people to petition when Xue Shangshu was in Yichuan County, and it seemed that there would be greater actions in the future.

The minister also inquired that the reason why the Sanming Immortal Sect has been able to attract a large number of people to join the sect recently is because the local scholars have given them food. ”

"Lord Li is saying that the scholars in Yichuan and Song County also support the Sanming Immortal Sect?" Wang Fangyi couldn't believe it.

Hearing this, Li Yifu nodded and said, "Not only the Shi clan but also the local government, so I feel that this place is already extremely dangerous, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go to Luoyang immediately." ”

Li Chengqian was silent for a while after listening to Li Yifu's words, and a doubt suddenly flashed in his mind, and asked: "Since the Sanming Immortal Sect has become a trend, and the people here have been living in dire straits for several years, why are they still fine?"

"This-" Li Yifu couldn't say it for a while when he heard this, and immediately replied truthfully after a slight pause: "The minister didn't know for a while, but I heard that Ma Jiu, the master of the Taixiang Temple in Song County, participated in it." I was about to go to visit Taixiangguan in Song County, and when I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince had come down, I came to see His Royal Highness the Prince first. ”

Li Yifu went to Yichuan County for a few days, and the people he came into contact with were all people from the periphery of the Sanming Immortal Sect, and these people had deified Cai Wenying, the Holy Mother of the Red Sky, the Flying Bee General, and others, and it was difficult for ordinary people to inquire about their roots.

Only Ma Jiudao, who has just joined the church, is a celebrity in the two counties, and he generally knows some things about him.

Li Chengqian nodded and said directly: "Fang Yi, you take a team of cavalry to Taixiangguan overnight to control Ma Jiu first." ”

"The last general obeys!" Wang Fangyi stood up awe-inspiringly.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw Pei Xingjian and Zhou Jin walk in.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The two saluted Li Chengqian at the same time.

"Flat."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't stay here for a long time, and the ministers are willing to go to Luoyang with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."

Li Chengqian knew that they had also gained something, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stop Wang Fangyi and said, "Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly." ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately sat down and reported to Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, the minister and Lord Zhou were ordered to go to the nearby village to look for the people, but before they could find the village, they saw a group of people supporting the young to go west.

The minister stopped them and asked them where they were going, only to find out that they were all going to join the Sanming Immortal Sect......"

Li Yifu was shocked when he heard this: "Have you kept the people?"

In winter, the days are short, and when Li Chengqian entered the village, the sky was already numb, and the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty mostly had night blindness, and these people were still in a hurry to help the old and the young, indicating that the Sanming Immortal Sect had a gathering point near here.

"I've brought them all back."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, here is not far from the gathering point of the Sanming Immortal Sect, you better hurry up!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are a golden body, and you can't put yourself in danger."

"Please go to Luoyang first."

This time, even Xue Rengui and Wang Fangyi suggested that Li Chengqian go to Luoyang first.

At this point, it is impossible to say that Li Chengqian is not afraid at all, but thinking that Li Shimin and the entire Zhongshu Province are in Luoyang City, but they have no knowledge of what happened in Yichuan and Song County, they know that Luoyang City is not safe either.

Although these 300 cavalry have few people, they do not have to worry about their loyalty, and they may not have the strength to fight in the face of a group of rabble.

Li Chengqian slowly got up and looked at everyone and asked, "Is it safe to go to Luoyang Lone King?"

"Bring all the people who are going to join the Sanming Immortal Sect to the courtyard, take out the dry food they brought and cook it, and wait until they are all full, and the lonely king will see them again."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he waved his hand at Wang Fangyi and said, "Fang Yi, you go and bring Ma Jiu to see me now." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, aren't you going to Luoyang?" Wang Fangyi asked with some concern.

Li Chengqian glanced at everyone and said lightly: "It's not right now to go, no matter what, you have to win a battle and go again." ”

Everyone knew that Li Chengqian could not be persuaded, so they all went out to arrange their own affairs.

Li Chengqian asked Li Yifu again: "Do you know where Xue Dading is now?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xue Shangshu is now in Yichuan County."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought that someone wanted to involve Xue Shangshu in the rebellion of the people? Why is that?" Li Yifu suddenly looked at Li Chengqian with wide eyes.

He originally thought that these people were trying to make Xue Dading retreat, but he didn't expect these to be so sinister.

Li Chengqian just snorted coldly when he heard this.

Li Yifu understood that they were drunkards who did not mean to drink, and they were involved in Xue Dading just to pull Li Chengqian.
