Chapter 233: Gold Medal Summons the Virtuous King! (First update!) )
Of course, in order to ensure that the grain can fall into the hands of the affected people, Chu He also sent guards to supervise, and he will also inspect from time to time.
Subsequently, Chu He, in the capacity of the prince and the Qincha, summoned the counties and ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain.
Most of the counties chose to comply, began to open warehouses to release grain, and sold grain at a fair price according to Chu He's instructions.
However, there were three other county guards who were accomplices of the assassin Zhang Changsong, and chose to resist the order on the grounds that Chu He had privately detained the assassin.
Therefore, Chu He went to them in person, and also used the mind invasion skill to control them, obtained the evidence of their crime from their divine soul consciousness, and then controlled them to confess their guilt automatically with the power of the mind.
Let them understand what it means to be invincible to the supernatural powers!
Without the obstruction of these three county guards, the grain release went smoothly, and the grain price in the entire Chengzhou was quickly reduced to a price close to that of the Taiping period.
The disaster situation in the whole of Chengdu has been alleviated, and at least no one will starve to death every day.
Moreover, because Ziyan Zhenren's corpse king clone died, no one absorbed yin qi anymore, and the drought began to ease.
And Wei Xiao, the fourth prince who presided over the disaster relief, naturally gained a lot of prestige and began to have the fame of the virtuous king.
This is also the flattery of Chu River by those officials who were grabbed by Chu He.
However, he was not fooled by the hype, and he knew that the drought had not really been resolved, because there was no rain yet.
Chu He suddenly remembered that he had once been a water god and had mastered the Shinto spell of Xingyun and Rain.
Although he doesn't have the authority of Shinto now, he still has the perception of this spell, and he still has the talent to control the clouds, and he has the ability to control the clouds, so he can try it.
In the evening, the remnant sun is like blood.
Above a cracked field, Chu He stepped on the void, pulling the clouds to gather with the power of his soul.
Then, he urged the Heavenly Thunder True Talisman, and a silver heavenly thunder blasted into the clouds, the thunder exploded, and the silver lightning streaked across the sky, and the catalyzed clouds began to condense, and the subtle invisible cloud droplets turned into substantial raindrops.
The rain is starting to fall!
Although Chu He did not have the priesthood of the water god, his Dao Xing mana had reached the Jindan stage, so it was not difficult to rain.
When the nearby villagers saw this scene, they all knelt down towards the Chu River, and said with a grateful expression: "Thank you Immortal Master for the rain!" ”
Chu Hedao: "Get up, you better hurry up and prepare some utensils to catch some rain!" ”
After he finished speaking, he continued to cast the spell of raising clouds and rain, the wind surged, but the nearby clouds gathered, and then urged the power of the thunder, the thunder roared, the lightning pierced the sky, and the rain became even stronger.
However, the mana of the Chu River was limited, and the rain only covered a radius of ten miles.
However, his Chaos Secret Book can devour all spiritual opportunities such as the five elements of yin and yang, but his recovery power is extremely fast, and the mana consumed by the rain is basically the same as his recovery speed.
An hour later, the nearby villagers used wooden barrels and basins to catch the rainwater, and the Chu River went to other places where there was a shortage of water to rain.
As the spells became more proficient, the range and magnitude of the rain in the Chu River became more and more precise.
After three days and three nights, almost all counties had a wave of rain.
Although the drought cannot be completely resolved, at least there will be no more water shortages.
At this time, Chu He also felt tired, and after resting for a long time, he began to mobilize state and county soldiers to encircle and suppress bandits.
Because of the severe drought and the secret planning of the Ziyang Sect, there are already hundreds of large and small cottages in Chengzhou, and hundreds of thousands of bandits and bandits.
But with the blessing of the military soul of Chu River, even ordinary people can kill fierce bandits, naturally they are invincible, invincible, and they have uprooted these cottages one by one in just half a month, and captured a large number of bandits.
For those bandits who were forced to fall into the grass and did not kill any evil, Chu He chose to be lenient, carried out labor reform, and used to settle the fields. They are graded according to the severity of the crime, and for three to five years there is no pay, just food.
As for those villains who wantonly kill, they are naturally resolutely killed.
And tens of thousands of state and county soldiers have also turned into an elite division after being trained by the Chu River.
In less than a month, the entire Chengdu was restored to calm and peaceful, almost no different from the Chengdu before the drought broke out, which made Hu Jianhua, a late servant, and his party stunned.
And the Chu River has also been praised by a large number of officials because of its pacification of Chengzhou, and the people praise the name of King Xian.
When this matter reached the capital, it also ushered in a lot of praise for Chu He, and his reputation soared, and gradually there was a tendency to catch up with the crown prince and the second prince, and some neutral factions began to agree that the fourth prince, Wei Xiao, was the best heir to the throne.
After all, behind Chu He also has the great general Yang Zhan and the Xie family, one of the four major cultivation families.
Although the officials of the two factions, the crown prince Wei Yuan and the second prince Wei Wujian, have made slanderous remarks, Chu He's merits cannot be erased.
Emperor Wei is also a dragon face Dayue, and ordered Chu He to return to Beijing to be rewarded.
At this time, outside the border of Chengdu, the Western Chu border army camped.
A middle-aged man in a bearskin coat with a rough face sitting on a tiger skin chair was none other than Liu Rui, the right marshal of the Western Chu State.
Although Liu Rui took the surname of the Central Plains, he was actually a foreign race of Western tribes.
The Western Chu State was also established by a foreign race, and its founding monarch claimed to be the Great Chu bloodline of the previous dynasty, so the royal family changed its surname to Chu, implemented cultural integration, and changed to the Central Plains script and name, and many high-level officials also had Central Plains names.
There is a general in armor sitting in the left and right rows under Liu Rui's account, each of them is a sturdy man, with a strong true spirit, a profound martial arts cultivation, and the two generals at the head are even stronger grandmasters!
The Western Chu State is located in a bitter cold land, the environment is bad, everyone is martial, although the population is far less than that of the Great Wei, but there are many elite soldiers and strong generals.
A general said: "Marshal, now that stability has been restored in Chengzhou, do we still have to send troops?" ”
Liu Rui said: "Today's Chengdu seems to have regained stability, but in fact, the food is only temporarily enough. Once the fourth prince Wei Xiao leaves, the greed of these Chengzhou officials will definitely flare up again, and Chengzhou will definitely be in chaos again. That's when it's time for us to send our troops! ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, Chengzhou, Thorn Shifu.
A purple-robed middle-aged man saluted Chu He, who was sitting on the main seat, with his fists clasped and said, "The new assassin Wu Sixian sees His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”
Chu He smiled indifferently: "Does Lord Wu have appointment documents and seals?" ”
Wu Sixian handed over the appointment document and seal letter to Chu He, and then took out a holy decree and a gold medal, and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing, this is the holy decree and gold medal that His Majesty summoned you back to Beijing. ”
Chu He took the holy decree and the gold medal, and it really contained dragon energy, not a forgery.
Hehe!
I couldn't wait to be summoned back to Beijing, and it seemed that it had aroused the jealousy of Emperor Wei after all.
Obviously, Emperor Wei, who was in the prime of life, did not think of abdicating at all, so any prince who was too strong would be suppressed.
The crown prince Wei Yuan was strong before, so Emperor Wei supported the second prince Wei Wuqian to contend with it.
But Wei Wujian was obviously inferior to Wei Yuan, because Wei Yuan still had the Ziyang Sect behind him.
Therefore, Emperor Wei supported him, the fourth prince, and even suspiciously gave Xie Fangling a marriage to him, so that he could get the support of the Xie family and become another prince who could take over the heir.
The three princes seized the throne and stood on three legs, making the court stable.
However, his current performance is obviously too strong, not only has the strong strength of the Jindan period, but also has the means to govern one side, and has won the reputation of the virtuous king.
Moreover, he once went north to join the army, broke the Beiliang army, and killed two grandmasters and generals of the Northern Liang Kingdom, with great military achievements.
