Chapter 60: Fighting the Reservoir Dogs
In the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Zhou Yu sent many people to visit craftsmen in various places who had experience in controlling the Yellow River and building embankments, and then formulated a set of plans for dredging the river and rebuilding the river embankments as a whole.
The whole project is progressing slowly.
However, the plague broke out and spread without warning in many makeshift villages. Whether it is the old man or children, and even many men who have been soaked in the mud for a long time to dredge the river, they will not escape the doom. For a time, the shadow of death shrouded the land that spread for thousands of miles.
For more than half a month, Miao Tailor took a lot of Lang Zhong to ask for a doctor.
There are not enough medicinal materials, and sometimes the supply is not available in various places, so Miao Judge led everyone to go up the mountain to collect medicine, causing a lot of abrasions on his hands and feet, which made Ji Ying feel distressed.
Later, there were not enough doctors. Zhou Yu urgently dispatched doctors from surrounding towns to the epidemic area to treat the patient. The number of sick people increased, and Zhou Yu followed the example of the Six Diseases Pavilion of Prince Qi Wenhui of the Southern Dynasty and opened a disease hall to treat the people infected with the epidemic.
A group of doctors from other places appeared in Luoyang City, and their medical skills were extremely clever. Legend has it that they were all dressed in green clothes and white hats, and their faces were covered with a piece of cotton cloth. They quickly cured the people of Luoyang, and then spread the prescription, saving many people in the surrounding towns.
Ji Ying wanted to thank her in person, but she didn't expect that she and Li Yuhan had just arrived at the Luoyang Anjian Center, but they were told that this group of doctors had left Luoyang and did not know where to go.
But the trip was not without gain, because Ji Ying picked up a child.
This child looks like he is two or three years old, his nickname is ugly, although he is thin and small, but this child is not ugly, but he is always crying. It's a poor kid. His father was conscripted to dig the river, and there was no news for a while, and both he and his mother were sick with the plague. His mother had tragically died, but he survived.
Li Yuhan found him by the mound outside the door. Everyone was busy, and no one could take care of the poor child, who had been thinking that his mother was still sleeping in the hospice, crying and waiting outside. After Li Yuhan knew the child's background, he was very distressed, so he hugged him to find Ji Ying.
The child is very timid and admits that he is very good, but the interesting thing is that Li Yuhan is very good at teasing children, and he doesn't know where to find a few candy balls for the child to eat, and the child slowly lowered his guard and soon became familiar with Li Yuhan.
Since there was no way to take care of Chou, Li Yuhan decided to take him back to raise him, and sent a brother from the Black Cavalry Battalion to find out the whereabouts of Chou's father.
The little child seems to have found someone to rely on, sticking to Li Yuhan and not letting go, and the prince of Houfu, who has always been known for his cleanliness, does not mind the dirt on the child's body at this time, but enjoys it.
Ji Ying asked with a smile: "Ji Ying doesn't know, Li Ergongzi still has the ability to raise children." ”
Li Yuhan made the ugly laugh and said, "You also know that I am not the youngest child in the family. When my little sister was very young, my eldest brother and I liked to play with her very much. You don't know, my eldest brother made her a small chair with his own hands, put her in it, and she can still shake. My eldest brother and I are reluctant to let her cry, but it is Ji Heng of the Ji family, that stinky boy always wants to bully my little sister, and he has no long memory after being beaten by my eldest brother and his nose is blue and swollen - hey, Ji Ying, are you listening? ”
Li Yuhan's chatter made Ji Ying's heart tremble, her hands clenched unconsciously, and she tried her best to control her expression: "I'm listening, I'm listening." Your sister is really lucky to have a good brother like you. ”
Li Yuhan's smiling face froze, and he changed his posture and hugged Ah Ugly: "Lucky? ”
Ji Ying knew that she was speechless, so she didn't dare to speak anymore, so she just lowered her head and walked forward, and there was no laughter all the way.
When the disaster area was in a hurry, the palace was doing well.
Zhou Rukang couldn't put down the white deer offered by Qin Haoran, and offered the white deer in the Taoist temple, and also set up a special person to serve him. Whether it is forage or spring water, it is very strictly managed.
It's a pity that with such meticulous care, Bailu still encountered an accident.
One night, Zhou Rukang listened to the military report of the northwest against Beidi without a ride, and ordered Lin Shiqi, a university scholar, and Su Yu, the young master of the prince, to accompany him.
Suddenly, a little Taoist boy in the Taoist temple asked to see him, and Zhou Rukang put down the military report and met the Taoist boy.
Dao Tong ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the white deer offered in the Taoist temple has just returned to heaven!" ”
When Zhou Rukang heard this, he suddenly stood up and said angrily: "What's the matter? Speak slowly! ”
Dao Tong said: "That Bailu had a poor appetite two days ago, and today he is even more groggy in the yard. Yuqingzi Daozu said that this white deer is a fairy beast, very spiritual, it should have sensed something, so it returned to heaven. ”
"Aware of what?" Zhou Rukang's heart throbbed, "What can the immortal beast perceive?" What does it want to tell me? ”
The soul of the Dao child is not possessed, and he kneels on the ground and does not dare to speak.
Zhou Rukang angrily threw off all the twists and turns, and shouted: "Let Yu Qingzi give me an answer and tell me what the fairy beast wants to say!" Ahem......"
Zhou Rukang coughed excitedly, and Yu Hai hurriedly ran over to give him a slap on the back.
Su Yu, the young master of the crown prince who was standing beside him, cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the minister recently heard about something, which may be related to the return of immortal beasts to heaven. ”
Zhou Rukang finally swallowed his cough and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I heard from the people that the white deer was raised by a country girl, and the girl was lonely and helpless, and she made a living by collecting medicine. More than a year ago, she went up the mountain to collect medicine and rescued the white deer trapped in the trap, so she took it home to treat its injuries. Later, Bailu thanked the girl for her kindness and has been with the girl ever since. But not long ago, the Qin prefect passed by the girl's cottage and fell in love with Bailu, so he grabbed Bailu. The girl refused to give up, and asked the Qin prefect for theory many times, but then disappeared. A few days ago, the girl's body was found in a mountain stream. Thinking that Bailu is a fairy beast, I know that the girl goes away with hatred and does not want to live. is so affectionate and righteous, it makes people sigh. ”
Lin Shiqi, a university scholar, echoed: "Master Su is the same as what I heard below, it seems that the folk rumors are true. ”
"Bastard!" Zhou Rukang roared angrily, "This Qin Haoran dares to do such an unreasonable thing!" ”
"Your Majesty," Lin Shiqi paused for a moment and said, "There is something that the minister does not know whether to say or not. ”
"What's not to say? Say! ”
Lin Shiqi arched his hands and said: "In fact, as early as when I first saw the strange stone given to Your Majesty by the Qin Prefect, several adults of the Hanlin Academy muttered, and the minister felt that there was nothing wrong with the words of the adults, but I was afraid that His Majesty would be unhappy if I said it." ”
Zhou Rukang leaned on the dragon chair, frowned and said, "Strange stones? What happened to the strange stone? ”
Lin Shiqi said: "What appears on the strange stone is the word 'borderless'. If it is said that the prefect of Qin took this strange stone to wish His Majesty a long life, it is understandable, but does Your Majesty still remember what is the name of the deceased monarch of the Yue Kingdom during the Warring States Period? ”
Zhou Rukang's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Yes...... It's borderless. ”
"Your Majesty. In the twenty-third year of King Chu Huai, the sixth grandson of King Goujian of Yue wanted to revive the majesty of Yue and made an appointment with King Chu Huai to attack Qi, but King Chu Huai did not send troops, and King Yue was dissatisfied. Soon, the state of Qi made peace with the state of Yue and attacked the state of Chu together. As soon as the Yue and Chu kingdoms fought, they were defeated, the king of Yue Wujiang was killed, and the Yue kingdom perished. The minister dared to speculate that Qin Haoran used strange stones to mock the court and insult His Majesty to be the king of the dead country, and his heart could be punished! ”
"Presumptuous! Immediately sent someone to Yangzhou to escort Qin Haoran into Beijing, and I want to punish him! ”
Qin Haoran, who was preparing to be an official in Beijing, finally waited for someone from the capital, but he was not an official of the Ministry of Officials, but an errand officer of Dali Temple. Until he was escorted to the prisoner car, he still didn't understand, he obviously sacrificed a fairy beast, how could there be a catastrophe?
But the emperor's anger has not dissipated, and he wants to investigate all the officials who have something to do with Qin Haoran.
So, in order to show that they had no dealings with Qin Haoran, the ministers came up one after another to expose Qin Haoran's crimes. At first, he embezzled people's land and bribed high-level officials, then he collected private taxes and fished the people, and then he neglected his duties and slacked off government affairs. Everyone's recitals were full of joy, and it seemed that they knew him better than Qin Haoran's parents.
The emperor was even more angry when he saw this mountain of impeachment, and ordered Dali Temple to immediately try Qin Haoran's various charges and announce it to the world. Dali Temple was under pressure from all sides, how dare to be lazy, quickly gave a reply, and sentenced Qin Haoran to punish the three clans, and the officials in Yangzhou were sentenced to beheading or exile according to the severity of the circumstances. The prefect of Yangzhou will be arranged by the Ministry of Officials.
No matter how the officials arrange, the Yangzhou prefect will no longer be arrogant, and the ships transporting grain and grass will not only not be charged fees when they pass through Yangzhou, but sometimes there will be special receptions and entertaining food. Yangzhou's local grain also flew like pieces of paper in front of the people in the disaster area.
Liu Ling, who was exiled to Qianzhou, sent letters to Ji Ying many times, but they were all sunk in the sea, and there was no news.
A few young people who had no worries were so happy that they got together to celebrate.
Ji Ying thanked Rong Shen with a wine glass and said, "This time, thanks to Brother Jinyan, he came up with a good idea of borrowing a knife to kill people, so that Ji Ying admired and threw himself to the ground!" Ji Ying did it first for respect! ”
"Don't dare," Rong Shen said, "I just 'borrowed a knife', and I didn't think about 'killing', the real idea of killing people was your Ji Ying." I only said that through Bailu and Qin Haoran to have a good relationship, you have to encourage me to send a letter to several seniors in the imperial court, and also say something 'Borderless is the king of the Yue country and the country will die', which harmed people's lives. ”
Rong Zhe was very happy, he took the initiative to touch a cup with Ji Ying, and said, "Such a scum of the court, he deserves to die!" Ji Ying's pen is good! ”
Jiang Yichen said: "Look, look at the two youngest of you grades, you are always so fierce, but what to do? I actually expressed my support! ”
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Yu's attitude towards Ji Ying was much better, he picked up his wine glass and said, "If it weren't for the clever plan of Lord Rong and Lord Ji, how would we solve this biggest trouble?" Let's have a drink and keep up the good work! ”
"Good!"
