In the afternoon of the same day, the surrender process of Henan Mansion was very smooth, and several leaders were only locked up for a while, and they were soon released. When the surrounding trouble-stricken areas heard about it, they asked for surrender. The boiling revolt of the displaced people passed like this.

So Zhou Yu dictated and Ji Ying recorded a submission form and submitted it to the imperial court. Zhou Rukang, who poked his head out of the Taoist temple, knew that he had no worries, was very happy, praised a few words, and crawled back to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings.

After the prince heard about this, he was very unhappy in his heart, worried that he had just lost the king of Chu, and if he jumped out halfway to a king of Yan who could fight and govern on the horse, he would have to compensate for the loss. He summoned his most important adviser and asked if he could do anything out of it, but his adviser said that the prince didn't have to do anything, and the king of Yan and they would soon be in big trouble.

Yan Wang they did encounter a big trouble, because there are many people, the food in the towns around the country is in a hurry, even if there is Xingluo Cang, I am afraid it will not last for a month, and Shandong has become a country, if you want to control the river and resume production, you must let the villagers dredge the river, how can you do it when you are hungry?

On the other hand, the surrounding gentry and relatives of the emperor hoarded Juqi, occupying a large amount of grain and not selling it or donating it, especially the Marquis of Anyang, Nanyang Bo and others, relying on the shadow of their ancestors, set up private soldiers in the house, and ignored King Yan's military order to rectify grain and grass.

Opportunistic merchants could be forced to expropriate grain and even confiscate mansions, but they could not be forcefully used against dukes with titles. At the beginning, King Yan proposed that no matter what the identity of the hoarder was, the mansion would be raided and the grain and grass would be confiscated, but Rong Shen and Ji Ying stopped him.

Rong Shen said: "The relief of the victims should not be done quickly, but also steadily. Since we left Beijing, we have resettled the people and recruited the mob to go to the gangsters, and the journey has been smooth sailing, and it looks very beautiful, but in fact, there are many dangers, because the most important problem to be solved in disaster relief is not the common people, but the officials in the imperial court. We are now on the cusp of the storm, and there is no one in the court who can administer justice to us, so the slightest carelessness will cause jealousy and dissatisfaction among the courtiers. When the time comes, the impeachment is a small matter, and the failure is a big matter. ”

"Brother Jinyan is right," Ji Ying added, "Several princes in the fiefdom are related to the royal family, for example, Pan Dechao, the Marquis of Anyang, who has the most trouble here, his mother is the eldest princess, and his father has the credit of saving the first emperor, even if you are King Yan, you have to call him uncle." This person has no ability, but he has learned his father's ruthless conceit, if he hadn't killed people in Qinglou back then, he would not have been demoted out of the capital and came to the fiefdom. The court has always said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and King Yan is also the prince, so how credible is this statement? Once we offend these shady royal relatives and important ministers, and involve the old department of the gate valve, we will be struggling step by step. Please think twice about His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

King Yan understood that what Rong Shen and Ji Ying said was the truth, and sighed a few times, helpless.

Jiang Yichen stabbed Ji Ying coldly: "Don't you really hate the formation of party members by court officials, why do you suddenly know so much about these things?" ”

Ji Ying replied: "The more you hate it, the more you have to understand, if it is taboo to act in the court, what else can we do?" ”

Since it is not feasible to collect grain on the spot, we have to transfer grain from other places, but the question is, where and how?

The first direction that comes to mind is the north. This place is very close to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the fiefdoms of King Yan, of course, they are the first choice. But King Yan immediately vetoed the proposal. He said: "Since the resurgence of Beidi, the sixteen states of Yanyun have been fighting for years, and the military food is in short supply, and it has always needed to be deployed from the surrounding areas, and it is not easy to get food from here. Moreover, since the Yellow River burst its banks, it has been difficult to transport it by water, and even if there is grain and grass, it cannot be transported quickly. This path doesn't work. ”

King Yan's words were reasonable, and everyone had to dispel this idea.

Since the north can't do it, and they can't get grain from the capital, everyone looks to the south.

There are two ways to transport grain from the south: one is by land, through Zhoukou, through Xuchang, and then dispersed to various places; One is to summon the Yangzhou Mansion and order it to gather grain and grass from all over the south of the Yangtze River, take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and send grain to the north.

The speed of the arrival of grain transported by land is quite fast, but unfortunately the quantity is not large enough, and the manpower and material resources consumed are huge, so it is necessary to rely on river transportation.

But herein lies the problem.

As the only way to transport the river and a rare hometown of abundance in the country, Yangzhou has no intention of helping, but likes to help. Yangzhou did not send grain, not to mention, but even cut off the canal, requiring all grain ships to pass by, must pay a high docking fee. Most of the people responsible for escorting grain and grass are only local petty officials, and they have no money to pay, so the Yangzhou prefect ordered all the grain to be confiscated and waited for the disaster area to pick it up.

If you say why a local official in Yangzhou Governor has such courage, the reason is, of course, that his background is really hard. The people who came to help the disaster were either the martial artists who had been left behind on the frontier, or the young scholars who had just taken office, and he didn't pay attention to them at all.

Qin Haoran, the prefect of Yangzhou, used to be just a small general judge, but he has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, rising step by step, and no one dares to provoke him. There are many reasons for this, and the root of it is that he is extremely good at slapping horses. He always collects some Jiangnan women, regularly pays tribute to some court officials, honors the prince and the former king of Chu a few hundred taels of silver every year, and more importantly, he is good at welcoming the emperor.

Last year, I don't know where Qin Haoran found a strange stone, and took advantage of the emperor's birthday to present it to the emperor. This strange stone is really magical. It is warm and smooth, and it is nothing from a close distance, but from a distant side, you can vaguely see the word "boundless". When the emperor saw this strange stone, he was very satisfied and praised it. This Yangzhou prefect is about to expire, and I am afraid that he will be promoted to another level this year.

The local large households are hoarding, the grain and grass from other places are robbed, and the internal and external difficulties are in trouble, and it is another stalemate.

It was Rong Shen who broke the deadlock. Rong Shen came up with a brilliant idea.

Dong Jiu was ordered to go to Yangzhou to inquire around, and came back to talk about the situation in Yangzhou. After that, he said to Ji Ying that there was someone Ji Ying must know.

Ji Ying was curious and asked, "Who did you meet?" ”

Dong Jiu said: "I quietly checked the wardens in Yangzhou, and found that the current wardens in Yangzhou are called Liu Ling, are you familiar with them?" ”

The name Liu Ling is certainly familiar. Later, after Ji Ying participated in the palace examination, Liu Ling specially sent a box of gold to show his fellow villagers, and was given to Duanmu Lingfeng by Ji Ying.

Ji Ying asked: "Brother Jiu and I am afraid that I am not alone, the Liu Ling I know is a prefect, how could he come here to be a warden?" ”

"You don't know," Dong Jiu explained, "Liu Ling's son, Liu Yujie, you should also remember, what a gentleman. Three months ago, Liu Yujie robbed a girl in public and robbed her home directly. Liu Yujie was afraid that his father would blame him, so he simply killed the girl's parents. Fortunately, the girl's brother was out to make a living, saved some belongings, and heard about the great changes in the family, so he went to the capital in one go. Dali Temple took over the case and sentenced Liu Yujie to be beheaded next spring, and Liu Ling's godson had no way to behead, so he was demoted to Yangzhou as a pawn. ”

Ji Ying took the case: "The success or failure of this move is all in this person!" ”

On the same day, Ji Ying wrote a letter to Liu Ling:

Shocked to hear that the adults moved to Yangzhou, the students were very sad and angry. The grace of bringing relief back then is like in front of me, and I dare not forget it. Babies are fellow adults, concerned about the warmth and well-being of adults, and there is a plan to help adults make a comeback.

There are women at the foot of Songshan Mountain who are good at raising white deer, and the deer is white and snowy, and it is really a fairy beast. The baby wants to borrow the hand of the adult to present this deer to the Qin prefect, one is for the benefit of the adult, for the longevity of the Yujie brother, and the other asks the Qin prefect to raise his noble hand and let go of the grain ship at a low price to benefit the people.

Babies and adults are like-minded, and they wish to sit in front of the emperor in the middle of the night, and their names will be in the future generations. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and weal and woe are shared.

Babies bow to the handwritten book again.

After Ji Ying finished writing, she was disgusted by her own words. No wonder Zhou Yu and Jiang Yichen both said that it was a pity that Ji Ying didn't do such a good writing.

A few days later, Ji Ying and others were on the banks of the Yellow River to supervise the river, and Liu Ling's letter came. The words of the letter were emotional, and the gratitude was palpable. Ji Ying was disgusted for a long time and told Jiang Yichen that the beast had entered the net.

Soon, the ships seized in Yangzhou entered the disaster area one after another after paying enough silver taels.

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, His Majesty's birthday, all the ministers searched their stomachs, searched for new things to present to the emperor, and tried to make him smile.

The prince presented a statue of Taishang Laojun made of white jade, which was lifelike. Zhou Jue, the king of Qi, exchanged a red coral more than a zhang high from Rong Ci, which was crystal clear and cute. Under Jiang Yichen's repeated supervision, Zhou Yu, the king of Yan, sent a thousand-mile horse, and Jiang Yichen pushed the boat down the river and sent a set of silver horse harness inlaid with jade. The ministers also offered treasures one after another, lest they be compared to others.

The banquet was in full swing, and the eunuchs sent a large cage with a lid, saying that it was sent by the prefect of Yangzhou. When it comes to Qin Haoran, the prefect of Yangzhou, Zhou Rukang is very impressed, and the strange stone he offered is still placed in Zhou Rukang's bedroom.

When the lid on the outside of the cage was lifted, the people in the hall were stunned. There is a snow-white deer in the cage, this deer is full of spirit and fairy spirit, and it is indeed like a fairy beast under the seat of the legendary immortals.

Zhou Rukang walked down from the throne in surprise and watched carefully around the cage. He never dreamed that he would be able to see such a "strange beast" in his lifetime, and it seemed that the immortals in the sky knew that he was sincere in seeking the Tao, so they made a hint.

The next day, the news that His Majesty had obtained a divine beast quickly spread all over the streets, and there were those who were envious and those who were jealous.

The show begins.
