Zhu Di was thoughtful at this time.

He thought about it for a long time.

In the past half day, Yishaha has been extremely careful, because Yishaha knows very well that when His Majesty is in such mood, once he falls into contemplation, there must be something important that is difficult to choose.

Therefore, he had to tiptoe to pour tea and pass water, looking cautious.

Until noon, Zhu Di suddenly said: "I also lost my ......."

"The slave is here." It is also lost.

"Do you think Zhang Anshi is bold or cowardly?"

"Ah......" Yisha was stunned and looked at Zhu Di sluggishly.

Could it be that Your Majesty has been pondering for a long time, pondering this?

I saw Zhu Di say lightly: "He is indeed timid on weekdays, but the day before yesterday, I ordered him to escort the emperor and grandson to Beiping, but he was suddenly willing to stay, which is really strange." ”

Yisha took a deep breath.

In fact, slaves and maids should know the most...... It's about observing words and colors.

According to Yishaha's habit of serving Zhu Di for many years, he did not think that Zhu Di asked this question to ask for his opinion.

His Majesty is the Ninety-Five, and this country can be said to have been shot down by him with a knife and a shot, how could such a person have no clue about the view of things at all, so that he came to ask him about a slave?

Then all possibilities are excluded, and there will only be one truth.

That is why His Majesty already has an answer in his heart, but he is a little uncertain, and he just wants him, a bystander, to confirm it.

So he calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid heard that there is a kind of person who has always spared his life like gold, because he knows that it is really impossible to take his life because of certain things. But it is precisely such a person, he will think that there are some things that are important, and the so-called gentleman has something to do and something not to do, so he has to rush forward and refuse to retreat half a step. ”

Yisha continued: "I want to come...... In this capital, there is His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince, and Wei Guogong is reluctant to go to Beiping to hide. His Majesty loves Wei Guogong so much, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, just like Wei Guogong's father, if he changes the slave and maid, if the slave and maid are Wei Guogong, they must stay. ”

As soon as he spoke, the temple fell into a deathly silence.

Yisha was actually a little nervous in his heart, and he didn't know if he had answered the right answer.

But His Majesty did not respond, but in addition to being nervous, he became more and more worried.

Long......

Just when Yishiha was getting more and more worried in his heart, Zhu Di's laughter came.

Zhu Di said with a smile: "You slave, now it's cheap, it's not a matter of life and death, say that you are Zhang Anshi, what's the use?" ”

Yisha breathed a sigh of relief, he vaguely felt that he had answered correctly.

So he hurriedly slapped himself and said: "The slave should be damned, it's really wishful thinking, thinking about asking for merit all day long." ”

Zhu Di stood up and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. ”

Then, he didn't say anything, but changed the conversation and said: "Hurry up, keep an eye on this plague, although I have found a way to prevent it, but what matters now is just in case." ”

Yisha said seriously: "The slave maid has already instructed the secretary of the general administration to report at any time as long as the plague is involved, whether it is day or night." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

But he was wondering in his heart, Ma Lantern ...... And what is it?

……………

In the counties of Taiping Province, all the work has been carried out very quickly, almost all the garbage has been cleared, a place has been found, and burials have been carried out, medicinal herbs have been distributed to each household, and the doctors who have been organized are also ready at any time.

Zhang Anshi was even worried about the shortage of manpower and grain and grass on the side of Ying Tianfu.

After all, the government is a densely populated area, and once there is a loophole, it is not a joke.

So Gao Xiang personally led a group of errands, and raised a batch of food and silver, and went to Yingtianfu to rescue.

Ying Tianfu prefect Liu Wei was taken aback, in fact, he did not have a good impression of Zhang Anshi, and even when he reported the situation of the plague, he wanted to use the rumors about the induction of heaven and man in the market to connote Zhang Anshi.

He never expected that at this time, Zhang Anshi would send money, food and manpower support when Ying Tianfu was at its worst.

At first, he thought that Zhang Anshi must have some intentions, after all, it didn't make sense, Zhang Anshi, this guy ...... There is such a good intention.

Scholars are always wary of the fortunate ministers, and feel that these people are naturally lacking in great virtue.

Just like Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty, even if he attacked the Xiongnu and was low-key, even if he was assassinated, he would never care about the assassin, and attacked the foreign enemy hard, but he was submissive to the courtiers.

Cautious to such a point, it is still among the fortunate ones.

And Zhang Anshi is obviously far inferior to Wei Qing, although he also has a lot of credit, but this guy does not have Wei Qing's good temper.

Just when Liu Wei doubted whether there was a trick here, he learned that it turned out that all the provinces of Nanzhili and Taiping had sent messengers, and they all sent some money and food according to the situation of population gathering.

It doesn't make sense that people want to harm the entire prefect of Nanzhili, right?

In fact, at this time, Liu Wei was already anxious, and Zhang Anshi's prevention strategy was very easy, but he still had to use a lot of manpower and material resources.

Not to mention anything else, just so much garbage, as well as recruiting a large number of doctors, and opening up a place for treating patients, the cost here is enough to make it difficult for Liu Wei to raise.

After all, the government's revenue and expenditure are mostly balanced, and it is obviously very difficult to raise an urgent additional item in a short period of time.

Well, now, with the help of the capable officials drawn from the Taiping Mansion, it has helped a lot.

This is a charcoal in the snow!

Liu Wei thought that he had scolded Zhang Anshi in his heart before, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at this time.

At the moment, he pulled Gao Xiang to thank: "Gao Shaoyin, this time Ying Tianfu was able to tide over the difficulties, but thanks to you." ”

Gao Xiang just smiled, although he was tired, he could follow Wei Guogong to do things, that is, he had hope and a great sense of achievement.

So he said, "This is the way to go, watch and help each other." Wei Guogong specially explained that Taiping Mansion and Ying Tianfu live next to each other, and they are all in the same breath and branches, and they should help each other. ”

Liu Wei was speechless for a while, couldn't help but have a slight redness in his eyes, sighed, and said, "Ashamed, ashamed, hey......"

He said this with sincerity, and he didn't say anything ashamed, maybe it was because of the truth in the adversity, or out of the guilt of trying to fall into the well before.

Then he shook his spirits and said, "It's useless to talk about it now, it's important to cure this plague." ”

He relaxed in his heart, now is a matter of life and death, if this plague is not cured, many people will die, and even he may have to catch up.

What's more, the dignitaries and nobles of this Ying Tianfu are too many to count, once something happens, he, the Mansion Yin, will definitely be to blame, and the king of heaven will not be able to save him at that time.

Meanwhile.

Ningguo Mansion.

A team of men led by Li Tuimo was stopped.

Li Tuima returned in a daze, but in fact, when he was stopped, he didn't say anything, turned around and left.

However, in Ning Guofu, when he learned that Li Tuimo and others had crossed the border, they were directly driven away by the local county order.

"Hmph, it's his turn to make his own decisions?"

Wu Huan, as a friend of the scene, has already read the report.

Seeing Jian Yi's anger, he smiled and said, "Jian Gong, it's not that this Li County Decree is making his own opinion, it's really ...... As a last resort. ”

Jianyi: "......"

Wu Huan said: "Jian Gong think about it, that Wei Guogong sent people everywhere and sent money and food to various mansions, doesn't this clearly want to tell the people of the world that his Taiping Mansion can not only save himself, but also save people?" Now the whole world is looking at the Taiping Mansion and the Ning State Mansion, but Wei Guogong is going around to buy people's hearts, and this purpose is self-evident. Father-in-law...... Taiping Mansion and Ning Guofu, is it a battle between the will of the Duke of Jian and the Duke of Weiguo, the Duke of Jian, this success or failure is the survival of the famous religion. ”

When Jian Yi heard this, he suddenly showed a look of pain.

The survival of the famous religion.

Oh, yes......

If it is said that he opposed Zhang Anshi at the beginning, it only came from his own position.

He was born as an orthodox scholar and regarded famous teachings as his life.

But now, he found ...... Now, it's not his life alone.

It's thousands of people who are focusing on themselves, countless scholars, gentry all over the world, everyone is pushing him.

Sometimes he felt as if he was being pushed forward, even if sometimes he didn't want to, or at least he didn't think he should use such means and methods.

But now, he faintly feels that fame is as righteous as he is, and it seems that he has become a chess piece.

The chess pieces are settled, and there is no repentance!

Jian Yi said: "What about the people? What if the plague comes? ”

"The plague was discovered in Yingtianfu, and it may not reach Ningguofu." Wu Huan said calmly.

Jian Yi frowned and said, "Aren't you preparing in advance?" Check in the bud? ”

"As long as the Enfu gives the order, who doesn't rush to serve the Enfu?"

Jian Yi said: "Where is the money and food? ”

"Try your best to raise money, there is always a way."

Jian Yi said: "Okay, levy 100,000 stone grain, 70,000 taels of silver, levy 4,000 strong forces, and 300 doctors are waiting for you." ”

"This ......" Wu Huan hesitated.

"How?"

Wu Huan said in embarrassment: "A few days ago, everyone enthusiastically offered food, and they couldn't open the pot. ”

Jian Yi said coldly: "This is for you to reject the kindness of Duke Weiguo. ”

"Enfu ......"

"Now, you're in a quandary?" Jian Yi lost his patience a little: "This is what you call defending the famous religion? Isn't it the survival of the famous religion, in one fell swoop? ”

Wu Huan said: "Enfu...... Why? ”

"Hmph." Jian Yi also knew that it was useless to say it, so he had to snort coldly at this time.

Wu Huan stood silently on the side and was speechless, slowed down, and saw that Jian Yi gradually calmed down, and then said, "Enfu...... Calm your anger, now why do you need to talk angry? Hey, the students did their best. ”

Jian Yi also felt that what he had just said was a little too heavy, so he said, "It's hard for you." In this way, please all the village sages and gentry come to the mansion, and the old man will talk to them personally, they are all people who know the great righteousness, and want to come...... I can also understand the difficulties of the government. ”

Wu Huan said: "What Enfu said is very true, and the students will contact it." ”

Wu Huan said and hurried away.

Jian Yi stood up, got up, put his hands behind his back, and his face looked preoccupied, feeling a little out of breath.

But...... Thinking of the Taiping Mansion, he couldn't help but start to give himself an atmosphere.

At least, he believed he was right......

…………

Zhang Anshi dragged his tired pace and finally returned to his home.

These days, for the plague, he is almost non-stop, running around, and the affairs of the house, because Gao Xiang's officials have gone to the mansions to help, and finally they all press on Zhang Anshi's body.

Only then did Zhang Anshi know how difficult those trivial matters were, and finally dealt with the things at hand, and finally had time to go home to see.

After all, he hasn't been back these days, and he does miss Xu Jingyi and his son a little.

Besides, this is also a special period, although there is no bad disappearance at home, he is actually still a little worried.

When I got home, I saw that the people up and down the house had also responded to the call and were cleaning over and over again.

This made Zhang Anshi feel at ease, this kind of thing, the most important thing is that everyone is willing to believe and cooperate, people are willing to spare their lives, and now there is a solution, the government alone is not enough, but it also needs ordinary people to spontaneously clean up their homes.

After making sure that his wife and children were well, he was really tired, so he went back to the dormitory and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I was still sleepy-eyed, but I saw a small person sitting next to my pillow, with black eyes, looking at him without blinking.

As soon as he saw Zhang Anshi open his eyes, he grinned, stretched out his little hand, and touched Zhang Anshi's face.

Seeing that he seemed to be staggering, Zhang Anshi couldn't care about being tired, and hurriedly turned over and got up and hugged him.

Standing at the head of the bed was Xu Jingyi, Xu Jingyi said: "I didn't want to disturb you, but Changsheng always cries, but if you put it here, he will be well-behaved." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "That's it." ”

As he spoke, he touched Zhang Changsheng's tender little hand.

Xu Jingyi looked at her son and smiled softly: "He likes you." ”

"Nope." Zhang Anshi looked at Zhang Changsheng and said, "He's afraid of me." ”

"Where is there anyone who is afraid of you, and still laughs so happily."

Zhang Anshi said: "My own species, will I not know?" It's because I'm scared that I'm happy. The instinct to survive is engraved in people's bones, and he must be very afraid of me, which is why this is so. ”

Xu Jingyi was angry and funny, and couldn't help but say: "As a father, where can you think of your children like this?" It's as if the child had been picked up. ”

Zhang Anshi said proudly: "You don't understand this, it's because he is born that he knows his depth." ”

Zhang Anshi got up to wash, ate something more, regained some strength, and walked around the yard with Zhang Changsheng in his arms.

Seeing that it was already three poles, he handed his son back to his wife, and explained that his wife was at home to give birth to a baby, so he hurried to Qixia to be on duty.

Who would have expected that at this time, Yao Guangxiao had been waiting for him here for a long time.

Zhang Anshi saw Yao Guangxiao, and was a little stunned: "Master Yao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yao Guangxiao sighed and said, "Greed is committed. ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhang Anshi and said nothing.

Zhang Anshi said: "Master Yao, you have to control yourself!" If the six roots are not pure, how can we cultivate the Dharma? ”

Yao Guangxiao showed a look of disappointment, but he regained his spirits and smiled slightly: "It's just a joke with you, this time, there is something wrong." ”

Zhang Anshi didn't feel relaxed at all, and said busily: "Please also give advice." ”

Yao Guangxiao got serious: "The last time I heard you say what kind of kerosene lamp, it was very magical, the poor monk thought, when the plague passes, Jiming Temple can hold a festival at night, it is best to choose when it rains, hang this lamp on the pole, ordinary people can't see it clearly, and I don't know the reason for this lamp, you say......"

Zhang Anshi couldn't help crying and laughing: "Gong Yao, are you thinking about this every day now?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said with a straight face: "Other things, the poor monk doesn't dare to think about it." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "It's the same, it's just ...... After the popularization of kerosene lamps in the future, everyone will break the trick of Jiming Temple. ”

"That's for later, one time and another. The poor monk feels more and more that the more you tinker with those things, the more the Dharma will decay in the future, and sooner or later the great cause of the Buddha will be lost in your hands. ”

"What are these words?" Zhang Anshi said: "Don't put everything on my head. ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: "The poor monk's prediction has never been wrong. The people in other places, the poor monks don't know, but the people of the Ming Dynasty, the poor monks don't know? They came to pray to God and worship the Buddha when they had difficulties, and when there were fewer difficulties, there were no disasters and no difficulties, and sooner or later the Buddha would starve to death. ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't cry or laugh again: "This is not accurate, let's not care about thousands of years later." ”

Yao Guangxiao still didn't forget the purpose of his visit, and said, "Do you give the lamp?" ”

Zhang Anshi was also bold, and said without a little hesitation: "Give it to you, and I'll send it to you when I make a hundred lights, and then you will make a fool of yourself, and people will knock on the door, but don't confess to me." ”

Yao Guangxiao's face softened a little, but he said coldly: "After doing this, the poor monk wants to go to Ningguo Mansion." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Anshi was surprised: "What are you going to do there?" ”

"I want to accumulate a little yin virtue." Yao Guangxiao's expression became solemn, and he said, "This time it's not a joke, the poor monk has a hunch that something may happen to Ning Guofu." ”

Zhang Anshi frowned: "Not to mention that there is a husband there, no matter how bad it is, it won't be bad." ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "You still don't know how sinister people's hearts are, when people are bad, they can really eat people." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "In that case, then why do you still want to go?" ”

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhang Anshi deeply, and then said: "The poor monk said that he really wants to accumulate some merits, hey......"

As he spoke, he stood up, revealing a complicated look, and then, he actually stretched out his hand and pinched Zhang Anshi's face: "Wei Guo Gong, Wei Guo Gong...... This road, you are good to go on. ”

Zhang Anshi looked unbelievable and wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, Yao Guangxiao said: "Amitabha, Amitabha." Remember the relics, remember the relics. ”

said, without waiting for Zhang Anshi's reaction, he Shi Ran walked away.

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Communicating with some people is indeed a painful experience, such as Yao Guangxiao, which gives people a ...... This guy has a hundred eyes, and you can never guess what he means.

When you think he's greedy, he suddenly seems to have righteousness.

But you think he has the appearance of a monk, but he turns his head and makes you want to strangle him.

"What a strange monk." Zhang Anshi sighed.

In the past month, the situation in Taiping Province has gradually stabilized.

Although there are some occasional patients, but... Because of the rapid quarantine, the careful treatment of others, and the fact that the plague could not spread quickly, people gradually took the plague less seriously.

But even so, more than 100 people died, and the most serious one was Ying Tianfu, who died more than 300.

But that's the best of the best.

It seems to be ...... all at once The world is calm again.

In the dawn of Jiming Temple, Yao Guangxiao changed into a monk's robe full of patches, and took an old monk, who was carrying a shabby burden, followed him and walked slowly.

On weekdays, Xiao Shami, who took care of Yao Guangxiao with him, hurriedly caught up: "Master, where are you going?" ”

Yao Guangxiao turned his head and greeted the dawn, he showed a rare smile and said, "Go to hell." ”

Shami didn't understand, but he knew that the monk's clothes lined with silk materials that Yao Guangxiao wore on weekdays were all stacked and placed in his own interpretation room.

This time, he only wore a shabby monk's robe and went down the mountain.

Shami said: "Master, I'll go with you, you wait for me, I'll clean up ......"

"No need." Yao Guangxiao turned his head, reached out and touched the light brain shell of the little novice, his expression was unusually gentle, and said, "You, be obedient, obedient, and ...... My key, don't give it to anyone at will, only when someone comes to the palace, you give the key, in the box of the key...... It's the life of a poor monk, you know? ”

"Master, why didn't you take me with you today?" The little novice was a little uncomfortable, and he was about to cry with tears in his eyes.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Because you are too young, you will have to recite the scriptures for the rest of your life in the future." You obediently listen to your uncles, by the way, don't trust your uncles, this world ...... Don't trust anyone, you recite your own sutras, do your own things, practice your own Buddha. ”

Xiao Shami wiped away his tears and said, "Does the master don't want me anymore?" ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled, smiled calmly, and continued to say softly: "Don't cry, be obedient." ”

The little novice wanted to speak and stopped.

Yao Guangxiao turned around, and then walked in the direction of Chaoxia.

He walked very calmly, and the old monk behind him, wearing a hat and carrying a shabby burden, followed suit.

The little novice stood in place, looking at the master who had raised him for five years, and his back became farther and farther away until he disappeared.

He was ignorant, a little suspicious, and always felt as if he was ...... Something is going to happen.

Finally, he said loudly, "Master, when will you come back?" ”

Yao Guangxiao's voice faintly seemed to come from the sky: "I am here every day, in your heart." Cry you bird, go back and chant the scriptures. ”
