Chapter 182: Before the Storm

"Your Majesty, there is something that the slave should not ask."

After Lu Anshi left, Gao Lishi sent a few cups of drinks that had been prepared to Zhao Yu's table.

Because Chu is located in the south, the scorching summer season is far longer than the time in Jiangbei, so every summer season, there will be various drinks to quench the heat and quench thirst in various parts of the Chu country.

These drinks were loved by the common people and the nobles of the imperial palace, so they were also called "drinkers".

This time, Gao Lishi asked the imperial dining room to prepare for Zhao Yu what he loved to drink lotus leaf lychee tea.

This drink is made of lychee meat and rock sugar, added with lotus leaves and tea leaves to brew cold water, and finally stirred, the sweet lychee fragrance, with a hint of mint fragrance and tea fragrance, used to clear the heart and calm the nerves, refreshing the mind is the most good.

Zhao Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The sweet ice water belly instantly drove away the heat from his body and cleared his mind.

Nowadays, the most popular place to sell drinks is not a small merchant or hawker, but a martial arts hall run by those martial artists.

Because the drinks sold in these martial arts halls are all chilled, they are naturally more popular than ordinary drinks.

And these ices are made by the martial arts hall martial arts hall martial arts hall using their own internal force to condense the well water, and even some slightly smaller martial arts halls rely on selling ice water drinks in the summer season to subsidize their families.

At that time, after Zhao Yu knew the reason, he was also quite a little crying and laughing.

The heart is cold, and the heart is flying.

After a few sips, Zhao Yu's mood was also quite good, and he said casually: "Just ask whatever you want, if I can tell you, I will naturally not hide my secrets." ”

"Then will Mr. Lu really take His Majesty's words to heart?"

Colliers asked cautiously.

He knew very well in his heart that the pursuit of wealth by these merchants was as endless as the pursuit of power and status by officials.

His Majesty's words can be regarded as bitter words, and how much can that one listen to is a big question mark on him.

Zhao Yu laughed.

"I told him what I said. If this Yi Tianlou rules and regulations to do business, if you dare to collude with officials and businessmen and ruin the governance of my Great Chu, then don't blame me for not giving face to Tianyin Pavilion and Wan'er. When the time comes, they should be punished, they should be arrested, and they should be killed, and I don't think they will intercede for this group of businessmen. It's called, don't be unpredictable! ”

Hearing the faint killing intent that Zhao Yu revealed at the end, Gao Lishi subconsciously shrank his neck.

I hope that all of you in this Yi Tianlou will not offend Your Majesty's rebellious scales in the future, otherwise, even if a few ladies intercede, I am afraid it will not be useful......

In fact, Colliers miscalculated the relationship between the eight ways of the Demon Gate.

Most of these people in the demon gate are selfish characters. When a strong enemy such as the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate are pressing, it may be possible to unite in one place and work together to fight against foreign enemies, but if there is no common enemy, the eight ways of the Demon Gate will tear each other apart.

Don't look at Tianyin Pavilion at this time to help Yi Tianlou and introduce them to Zhao Yu, but if Yi Tianlou really committed Zhao Yu's taboo, he would be uprooted by Zhao Yu.

Yi Tianlou and these women don't add fuel to the fire at this time, and they fall into the well, which is good.

As for expecting them to intercede for Yi Tianlou, don't even think about it!

These people in the demon gate live more realistically than anyone else.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid remembered something, yesterday, that Miss Yunying replied."

Gao Lishi suddenly remembered his duty as a "Hong Yan", and hurriedly took out a letter from his sleeve, respectfully held it with both hands, and handed it to Zhao Yu.

opened the letter, and a faint ink fragrance mixed with the unique aroma of her daughter's home rushed into Zhao Yu's nasal cavity.

That Yunying's handy is as beautiful as ever.

"Hehe, Guan Gongzi must have never been to Miaojiang. After all, such an embroidery method is rarely seen in Miaojiang. The patterns embroidered on the embroidery sent by Yun Ying to Gongzi last time are exactly the same as the patterns on Yun Ying's dress, they are all butterflies and centipede dragons, and the flowers on them are also our Miao Jiang's skills. Use the warp and weft threads of the cloth to pick and embroider, and pick the right way to form various patterns. ”

"Oh, what are Yun Ying and Childe talking about. Childe is a man, so naturally he can't understand these weaving and embroidery techniques of our daughter's family. No matter how Yun Ying explained, even if Childe nodded, he still didn't understand it in his heart. ”

Through the letter, Zhao Yu seemed to see a Miao Jiang girl wearing silver jewelry winking at him mischievously.

Continuing to read down, Zhao Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"However, Yun Ying is still a little embarrassed to reply to Guan Gongzi's letter so late."

"Please also ask Guan Gongzi to understand, this is also a helpless thing, there is also a drought in Miaojiang, Yun Ying had to listen to her mother-in-law's words, exchange the silver obtained from the silver jewelry sold these days for rice grain, and send it back to Miaojiang. It's also a shame to say that my Miaojiang women are ingenious, not only can weave and embroider, but also create silver jewelry. Yun Ying's craftsmanship is not worth mentioning among the girls, so she begged her mother-in-law to let Yun Ying wade through mountains and rivers to Shenjing City to try her luck. ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the prince Guan, Yun Ying's luck is not bad, and the silver jewelry is sold very well in Shenjing City. This time, with the silver taels that Yun Ying earned, he must be able to give the clansmen a little more certainty to survive the drought. ”

Speaking of the clansmen, Yun Ying had some words that she didn't spit out and was unhappy. I heard my grandfather say that during this drought, people from the 100,000 mountains in the south came to negotiate with several leaders, saying that they hoped that these leaders would join them in raising troops to resist the tyranny of the Chu State. ”

Yun Ying doesn't know much about politics, but in the past few days in Shenjing City, she has also seen the smiles on the faces of the people in the city, not to mention, now under the governance of Bu Zhifu and others, the clansmen of Jiaxing and other mansions are also living a good life that they could not think of in the past. Therefore, Yun Ying did not approve of raising troops or something. ”

Of course, the leaders still knew the severity, and politely refused the other party's request. Grandpa, they even had a good breath for this, saying that the peace that was finally won was almost brought to disaster by these southerners, you know, these leaders and that majesty have been allied by blood. If His Majesty the Emperor went south again because of this, then they would have no shame to face their fathers and fellow villagers. ”

Reading this, Zhao Yu's eyes condensed slightly.

If it weren't for Yun Ying's letter, he wouldn't have known that someone wanted to take advantage of the drought to start a rebellion.

Moreover, listening to Yun Ying's tone in the letter, the other party seems to be a barbarian.

As for the 100,000 mountains in the south in Yun Ying's mouth, he didn't know too well, and it seemed that he needed to find someone to ask.

Someone dared to rebel at this time, do you really think that Da Chu is a soft persimmon?

calmed down slightly, and Zhao Yu continued to look down.

"Yunying returned to Miaojiang this time, in addition to transporting food, she still wanted to go back to see her mother-in-law. My father and mother died early, and my grandfather and mother-in-law pulled me to grow up since I was a child. When her mother-in-law was young, she was plotted and fell ill. Now it is impossible to be cured, and it can only be reluctantly relieved by taking the unique local medicine of Miaojiang. Although she has always said to Yun Ying that she doesn't care, when it comes to summer days, the weather is a little hot, and she will have a headache. Yun Ying felt really uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't help at all......"

"Alas, Guan Gongzi must not take Yunying's matter to heart. Yun Ying doesn't have many friends, so she can only confide in you through letters to some troubles. Also, if Gongzi replies to the letter, Yun Ying may only be able to reply after returning to Beijing around October. ”

It's a filial girl......

Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled, and then took off the imperial pen from the pen holder.

Seeing this, Gao Lishi hurriedly prepared rice paper and inkstone.

Zhao Yu wrote a reply in one go.

"Thank you Miss Yunying for your trust and telling Guan about such an important matter. It's just that I ask the young lady to understand, for the sake of the people's health, this matter is related to a certain association to ask someone to report to the saint. By the way, maybe Miss Yunying doesn't know that now the medicine king Sun Simiao is in Shenjing, and his old man's medical skills are superb. When Miss Yunying comes back, you can write your mother-in-law's illness on the letter, and Guan will take it to let Sun Yaowang take a look, maybe there is a way. If Miss Yunying is not at ease, she can also go by herself. Guan attached the address of the medical clinic opened by Sun Yaowang to the end of the letter. I wish Miss Yunying all the best in Miaojiang. ”

After writing the last word, Zhao Yu dried the ink, folded the letterhead, and put it in the letterhead.

The conscious Gaolishi hurriedly took it with both hands.

"I don't need to teach you how to do it. By around October, if there is a reply, remember to send it to the palace in time. ”

Zhao Yu commanded.

"Holy one, slave and maid know."

Colliers nodded hurriedly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that for more than two months, I don't have to be a wild goose anymore......

But Zhao Yu's next sentence made his heart suddenly lift.

"You go in person and summon the privy envoy Wang Pu, the head of the Editorial Mansion He Bayun, as well as Li Ru, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Lin Chong, and Kan Ling into the palace, and say that I am waiting for them in the Zihuan Palace."

Hearing the seriousness in Zhao Yu's words, Gao Lishi said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave will do it."

Half an hour later, Wang Pu, He Bayun and others came to the Zihuan Hall one after another.

"Your Majesty, Ministers."

Everyone paid tribute to Zhao Yu one after another.

"All the ministers are seated."

After Zhao Yu motioned for everyone to sit down, Fang Shen said: "I urgently summoned Zhuqing into the palace at this time, because I just got the news that the mountains in Qiyang Mansion have the intention of rebellion. ”

Before everyone came, he had already checked the information and knew that the 100,000 mountains in the south in the mouth of the Miao people were the 400-mile Taihe Ridge located in Qiyang Mansion.

And those who live there and often rebel, except for Shanyue, who has always refused to obey Wanghua, do not think twice at all.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Wang Pu glanced at He Bayun and Li Ru, and asked, "Chen Doudu, where did Your Majesty get the news?" ”

At this moment, only Wang Pu has enough qualifications and prestige to ask this sentence.

"Although I can't tell my sir where I got this news from, I can vouch for its authenticity." Zhao Yu smiled, "Sir, rest assured." ”

In this matter, he didn't want Yun Ying to be forced to get involved.

"Your Majesty says so, and the minister can only trust Your Majesty's judgment."

After Wang Pu saluted Zhao Yu, he sat back in his seat.

"The minister is guilty, please condemn your majesty."

In this compartment, He Bayun and Li Ru left their seats one after another and knelt on the ground.

His Majesty knew all this important information, but they, as His Majesty's eyes and ears, did not know anything about it.

In any case, the charge of "negligence" cannot be escaped.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Governor's Office, you two should get up."

Zhao Yu didn't mean to blame the two, after all, if it weren't for Yun Ying's letter, he wouldn't have gotten this information.

It's just that as the burden on the Jishifu becomes heavier and heavier, He Bayun's ability is gradually unable to keep up.

But He Batyun is also a hero and an important minister, plus his two younger brothers He Batyue and He Batsheng are both Zhao Yu's optimistic candidates for future commanders, so how to place He Batyun without making the He Batwin brothers resentful of the top is also a matter that Zhao Yu is quite troubled about.

"I have summoned you here today to ask your views on this matter. If Shanyue really reverses, how should the imperial court respond? ”

Zhao Yu looked around at everyone and asked.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court must not tolerate the rebellion, and it must be suppressed with the power of thunder in order to deter those ill-intentioned Xiaoxiao!"

Zhao Yun was the first to express his views on the matter.

"What the prince said is very true, and it must not be tolerated!"

"Your Majesty, King Pingnan has spoken the voice of his minister!"

Lin Chong and Kan Ling echoed one after another, especially Kan Leng's attitude was the most obvious.

Because he wants to fight, and he's going crazy.

Last time, he volunteered to go to the camp in Jiangbei, thinking that the Jin State would take advantage of the unstable foothold when the Holy Lord had just ascended the throne and invaded in a big way, but he didn't expect the Jin State to be like a soft egg, but the Burmese State and the Qi State entered the army one after another.

In this way, he wasted a good opportunity to make a lot of military achievements.

This time, no matter what, even if you give up your own face, you must ask Your Majesty to agree to put down the Shanyue rebellion by yourself.

It doesn't matter if the Lord is the master or not, there is a battle to fight, and there is merit to take it.

"Your Majesty, most of the money and grain in the treasury are now used for disaster relief, and for a while, there is not enough food for tens of thousands of troops to go on the expedition."

Jia Xu, who is Wang Pu's deputy, vaguely put forward his views to Zhao Yu.

It is the right thing to send troops to suppress the rebellion, but the number of troops must not be too many, otherwise the imperial court cannot afford it.

"Wen He's worries, I understand in my heart. This time, it is advisable to send more troops. ”

Zhao Yu nodded, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, I intend to make you the commander and lead the army to quell the Shanyue rebellion. It's just that I don't know if Zilong has the guts? ”

These days, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu have gotten along, and they have gradually understood the temperament of this majesty, and know that His Majesty occasionally likes to make some small jokes.

So he smiled and hugged his fists and said:

"Your Majesty's radical method may be useful to General Han Sheng, but for Yun, it has little effect. Yun only has one sentence, where His Majesty's sword is pointing, even if it is thousands of troops, Yun dares to break through him, not to mention the mountains! ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but high-five and praised:

"What a Zhao Zilong! What a guts! ”

"Zhao Yun listens to orders!"

"The minister is here!"

"I named you the general of Pingnan, Qin Liangyu, Lin Chong, and Kan Ling as deputy generals, and Liu Renliang as the army, leading 1,000 white pole elite soldiers and Danyang elite soldiers, and 3,000 foot soldiers, a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses, to the south to quell the rebellion. Liu Renliang is still in Ningyuan Mansion, and I will fly to him and ask him to go to Qiyang Mansion and wait for Zilong there. In addition, Cao Zhengchun's father-in-law Cao and his subordinates are also in Ningyuan Mansion, and I will let them do their best to help Zilong put down the rebellion. ”

Hearing that Zhao Yu had his name in his mouth, Kan Ling was suddenly very excited, and half-knelt on the ground with Zhao Yun and others.

"Wait, obey!"
