Chapter 42: The Storm Rises

Dull times always go by in a flash.

In the early morning of this day, Yu Xian opened a lotus root arm on his chest, and when he looked all the way up, he could see a touch of whiteness and a little pink.

But his face was expressionless, calm as water.

Without it, get used to it.

Yu Xian got up in his clothes, pushed open the window, the breeze was blowing, still with a hint of dryness at the end of summer, and then there was a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

It turned out that the osmanthus tree in the yard had bloomed, and the dark yellow color was dotted in the middle, which was elegant and fragrant.

Yu Xian suddenly realized that he had been in the palace for more than a year.

His gaze descended, and a rudimentary panel appeared in front of him.

[Name: Yu Xian]

[Cultivation: Nine Layers of Qi Cultivation (18/550)]

【Companion: Magnolia (1/1)】

"After more than one year of penance, we are getting closer and closer to building the foundation."

The corners of Yu Xian's mouth couldn't help but smile, who would have thought that the self who had exhausted his savings to retire in the mortal world would make such great progress in such a short period of time.

In the blink of an eye, the foundation is promising.

"I heard that ordinary Qi cultivators want to break through the foundation building realm, if they don't have the foundation building pill body, once they fail to break through, there will be no one out of ten. I wonder if I'll be able to make it again? ”

Yu Xian didn't know anything about how to build the foundation, he could only say that he was confused.

The information about Tsukidan is that an auction was held in a small market near him, and I heard that a Tsukidan was sold for a high price of ten thousand spirit stones.

caused a group of low-level cultivators to be hot for a while, and they all talked about what would happen if they got Tsukidan.

Typical before you buy a lottery ticket, you plan how to spend your five million.

Let him do what to build the foundation Dan Zhuji, that is difficult for a strong man, he doesn't have the money and the guts.

So you can only look at the power of hanging.

After all, the golden finger should not be such an inconvenient thing, and the foundation has to rely on external objects, so don't you look down on it.

Yu Xian began to think crankily again.

Downstairs, Gonggong Li, who was wide and fat, walked over at some point, and saw the rest of the time leaning on the window to enjoy the wind and flowers, and he was also in a trance, inexplicably a little familiar.

The last time he came, Yu Xian was still a heaven-level worshipper who had just entered the mansion, and his reputation was just beginning, and now he was already the head of the palace, and he, the manager, could only be his deputy.

"Director Yu."

Gonggong Li shouted softly.

Yu Xian came back to his senses: "Grandpa Li, is there something wrong?" ”

Gonggong Li squeezed out a smile: "Lord Zhai, Lord Cui, General Di, come to the palace to discuss with Niangniang, Niangniang said let me invite you to come over too." ”

"What are they coming to discuss with the mother?"

Yu Xian jumped directly from the window.

Gonggong Li was taken aback, but fortunately he quickly calmed down and said with a wry smile:

"The Quang Nam rebels not long ago connected the three cities, and now the army is less than a hundred miles away from Changning County.

In addition, hundreds of thousands of victims gathered outside the city, and riots could occur at any time.

They wanted to ask Niangniang to issue a decree in the name of the palace, and the king of Qin escorted him, and ordered the surrounding prefectures and cities to send people to defend the city and repel the rebels. ”

"The rebels are coming so fast?"

Yu Xian was taken aback.

He still remembered that when he first heard about the Quang Nam Rebellion, less than a year ago, the rebels were thousands of miles away from Changning City.

As a result, after such a short period of time, the rebels were not only not suppressed, but also grew stronger and stronger, and they all reached their doorstep.

Gonggong Li sighed: "Now there are more and more people following the rebels, and I heard that many cities have not been fought much, so the city defenders took the initiative to sacrifice the city.

There are also many masters on the rebel side, and some of the main generals have been assassinated unconsciously, and they can't organize an effective defense at all.

The imperial court was slow to react, and now the rebels are sitting in the three southeastern counties, which has become the climate, and it is difficult to check and balance. ”

"Ahem, I'm sorry Director Yu, our family has said a bit too much, Director Yu, you go to see Niangniang first, Niangniang is just not sure of her idea now, I want to ask you to staff the staff."

Yu Xian nodded: "I'll go now." ”

……

Council Chamber.

The princess sat behind the curtain with the little prince Jiang Heng in her arms, and there was a discussion of the three giants of military politics and law in Changning City in front of her.

"Mother, they're so noisy, I want to go out and play."

The little prince, who was only nine months away from turning nine, snuggled in the arms of the princess, and couldn't understand what the adults were arguing about outside.

"Heng'er, you are the prince, everyone is looking at you, you can't be like a child anymore."

The princess whispered in her son's ear: "Your master is coming soon, you should be obedient now." ”

"Master!"

Jiang Heng's eyes were full of horror, and he reflexively touched his buttocks.

"Heng'er is good, Heng'er listens to her mother."

For this master, who had just recognized him for a few months, Jiang Heng was scared in his heart.

He was also a famous little bully in the palace, and whoever saw him had to be hit by two big mouths, and everyone had to let him and spoil him.

Only his master.

Master's beating is really beating.

On the first day they met, Master smiled and gave him a candy to eat, he slapped him away, and asked Master to lie down and ride him as a horse.

Then his ass shattered into eight pieces.

Jiang Heng remembered that his voice was hoarse from crying that day, and later he went to his mother to complain, but his mother also helped the master speak.

So he cried and shouted to find his father, and made his mother angry and crying.

Then his eight-petaled buttocks turned into sixteen, and it hurt so much that he forgot to cry.

Then, the master asked the doctor Huang, who was full of medicinal smell, to apply medicine to his buttocks, which was cold and cold, and his butt got better quickly.

As a result, the next day he was disobedient and he was beaten again.

Jiang Heng recalled the time he spent with his master, which was simply a history of blood and tears in his ass.

At this time, when he heard that the master was coming, Jiang Heng immediately straightened his figure, so as not to let the master find an opportunity to spank him.

In the hall, the argument between several adults came to an end, and a middle-aged official with a two-handed beard bowed to the curtain.

"Niangniang, the rebels are close at hand, and the victims have also moved, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

The princess recognized that this was Changning County Shou Zhai Run, originally when the prince was there, he was an echo worm, what the prince said and what he did.

As a result, just a few days after the prince left, he began to perfunctory to the orders of the palace.

The rebels broke the city, causing a large increase in the number of victims, and now they are pouring outside the city to enter the city, and he actually wants her to order the dispersal of hundreds of thousands of victims outside the city in the name of the palace.

If you really dare to make such a decision, you are destined to be scolded by thousands of people in the future.

But when I thought of the city of Changning, the palace bore the brunt of it, and if the victims were not dispersed, the city defense was at risk of being lost.

The princess suddenly had a hard time making a decision.

"Cui Changshi, what do you think?"

Her eyes looked through the bead curtain to the other civil official in the field, who was none other than the governor of the palace, Shi Cui Qingyuan.

Cui Qingyuan arched his hand towards the princess as a sign of respect.

"Niangniang, Weichen feels that what Lord Zhai said is reasonable, the number of victims is large, and if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it is very likely to cause a civil uprising.

However, it is better not to violently expel them, it is better to give porridge first to appease, and then divert them to nearby prefectures and counties in batches, so as to avoid the disaster victims entering the city and causing trouble. ”

The princess was immediately moved.

That seems like a good deal.

Zhai Run sneered: "Lord Cui is really kind-hearted, let's not mention whether the rebels will attack us in the near future, just want to give porridge for disaster relief, where does the money come from?"

That's hundreds of thousands of victims, not dozens or hundreds, even if they are given one meal a day to drink gruel, at least tens of thousands of stone of grain.

And where are the manpower to divert them, now is the time to employ people, it is not enough to defend the city, isn't Lord Cui weakening our defense force by doing this. ”

"The silver palace can be released."

The princess almost blurted out.

Fuwangfu has been operating Changning County for many years, and it is really not bad for this bit of silver, if she can hold the city, she will be willing to give a little more.

Even the power of the palace she said to let it go, not to mention a little silver, a typical cub selling Ye Tian is not distressed.

"Xiaguan thank Niangniang for the people outside the city!"

Zhai Run, who was still against it just now, immediately changed his mind, and after this money, he could at least share the profits.

"In addition, the edict of the palace is replaced by Cui Changshi, and the palace is a female stream, and she is shallow in her studies, and she needs to rely on a few adults to defend the city.

In the future, there is no need to ask Hongu about these things. ”

Behind the bead curtain, the princess sighed.

"This palace is a little tired, you can retreat."

"Niangniang is wise, and the lower official (the last general) will retire."

Several people bowed down, and their joy was almost impossible to hide.

Their trip was a fruitful one.

not only got the money and food of the palace, but also let the princess completely delegate power, and now the entire Changning City is tossed by them.

Wait for a few people to leave.

The princess looked to the other side and asked, "Director Yu, why do you want this palace to promise them?" ”

Yu Xian walked out of the shadows and said with a smile: "Since Niangniang has no intention of fighting for power, it is better to stay out of the matter completely and let them go."

If you really can't hold the city in the end, it will be like this, and Yu will be sure to protect Niangniang and Heng'er from Changning City. ”

The princess was stunned, looked at Yu Xian's confident appearance, touched the head of the child in her arms, and said:

"I'll leave it all up to you."
