Chapter 151: The Overlord of the World vs. Female Zhuge Military Advisor 8
You Yunfei stood up and reported respectfully: "The attacker had committed suicide before I arrived with my men. Later we found out that he was... the Nanrong Imperial Guard."
"Nanrong."
Shen Junzhou spoke in a deep and cold tone, and picked up the pen in a flash. His cold eyes that took in the whole world showed the confidence that he was in control of the overall situation.
His writing is sharp and powerful.
The ink turned into four words on the paper on the desk.
——Draining the pond to catch all the fish
Shen Junzhou put down his pen, with an idea in mind.
Indecision is a taboo for a monarch.
He quickly arranged the deployment against Nanrong.
After everything was arranged, he asked, "How did Mr. Gongyi's hand get injured?"
Liu Xi's eyebrows jumped, he pondered for a moment, and reported truthfully.
"Your Highness, Mr. Gongyi cut his wrist to detoxify Your Highness, and used his blood as the antidote. This is how Your Highness's Crane Pill poison was cured."
Shen Junzhou's eyes were stunned for a moment.
"The poison of the Crane Pill... can you cure it with Mr. Gongyi's blood?"
He frowned and fell into deep thought, while on the other side...
Chun Nianren slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head to look at the cloak on his shoulders, the faint smell of ambergris lingering at his nose.
How would you choose?
Suspicion is a big taboo for a king.
If the army is transferred to Zhongnan Sea, who can lead it?
After the battle of raising the beam, the Lin family won the merit of expanding the territory, and their achievements have surpassed their master...
Do you dare to let your uncle lead the army again and give him the highest title?
……
In late spring, every family holds a spring banquet.
The marriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has aroused the interest of many families. After all, although the position of the principal wife has already been decided, the position of the Crown Prince's concubine is still vacant.
Even at the Queen's flower-viewing banquet, no one was able to see Chun Nian, who was bedridden, and many people were troubled.
The sick daughter of the Chun family is weak and will not live for more than a few years, let alone give birth to children for the royal family.
With such a sickly queen, the concubine can also be in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace in the future. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, she can also be given a high position and be in charge of the affairs of the six palaces.
But at this moment, a rumor spread in the capital.
It is said that there is a female counselor among the Crown Prince's staff. She once accompanied the Crown Prince in battles and came up with many clever plans. She is both talented and beautiful, and is very favored by the Crown Prince...
Hidden away in the city.
It was already night, the moon was rising over the star pool, and shadows of palace lanterns were flickering under the eaves.
Her face was hazy under the flickering light.
Chun Nianren stood on the pavilion by the pond, holding a celadon fish food box in her white jade palm.
Looking at the fish in the pond swimming slowly and leisurely with their tails, she picked up a handful of fish food with her slender fingertips and scattered it into the pond.
The fish in the pond swam over quickly.
The fish move in the water, making the pond clear and sparkling.
Shen Junzhou looked at her freehand expression as she raised her eyes, his eyes moving slightly.
"At the beginning of the month, Ningzhou reported flooding. Today, it was reported that the heavy rain in Ningzhou has not stopped yet. Countless houses and fields have been flooded. The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Revenue to take over the disaster relief procedures."
His cold and murderous tone was different from his usual calmness. After saying that, he handed the letter in his hand to her.
Chun Nianren put down the fish food, sat down opposite him, and looked at the secret report sent back.
As expected, the provincial government reported more disaster victims, the Ministry of Revenue approved more money and grain, and then they were exploited at every level, and in the end it was still not enough.
This is the evil consequence of officials protecting each other and collusion between superiors and subordinates.
She put down the secret letter and analyzed, "Ningzhou has long been full of resentment, and there are always major epidemics after major disasters. If it is delayed any further, the disaster will not be over and another epidemic will break out..."
That was all that was said, and Shen Junzhou naturally understood.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
The mountains and rivers stretch for thousands of miles.
The closer we got to Ningzhou, the more disaster victims there were on the road.
They were all ragged and skinny, and some children were lying on the roadside, dying, with no one around them.
There was a lot of pity intertwined in Chun Nianren's complex eyes.
"Ningzhou should be ahead."
"Yes, sir."
You Yunfei was guarding outside the carriage with a sword in his arms. The people of Ningzhou were in an uproar. After Chun Nianren proposed to go to Ningzhou in person with the disaster relief team, he was sent by Shen Junzhou to be with Chun Nianren.
"It looks like it's more serious than we thought."
Chun Nian's brows were deeply furrowed.
Also in the carriage, Shen Junzhou was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which was an urgent report sent by his subordinates in Jiangnan.
He looked at Chun Nianren, his eyes becoming increasingly darker.
"The government office in Ningzhou was flooded."
Hearing this, Chun Nianren's eyes became even more solemn, which was rare.
"This flood has submerged countless evildoers."
At this point, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, this time we have to do both disaster relief and epidemic prevention.
Although there were imperial physicians accompanying the disaster relief effort, those physicians could not take care of the tens of thousands of people in the four states.
Regarding people's livelihood, the victims are now wandering around and can't wait for us to arrive in Ningzhou. As far as the current situation is concerned, once the plague becomes serious, the longer it takes, the wider the impact will be.
Ningzhou is the worst hit by the disaster. Right now, Your Highness needs to personally order the surrounding prefectures to send skilled doctors to Ningzhou to help with the disaster relief."
Shen Junzhou's eyes were as dark as night water, and he immediately gave orders to the people outside the curtain.
"Give orders to split the troops into two groups. One group will escort the food to Ningzhou, and the other group will set up tents along the way to distribute porridge and summon doctors to treat the refugees."
Outside the carriage, You Yunfei received the order and quickly went to make arrangements.
It had rained, and the night was cold and damp.
There were more and more disaster victims on the road, braving the rain and dragging their families along, enduring hunger and suffering in silence.
"Everyone, listen to me! Let's go back to Ningzhou! The imperial court has allocated money and grain for disaster relief!"
You Yunfei shouted loudly and saw a hunched old man in the rain. The old man was holding a little girl covered in mud tightly and they were walking with difficulty.
He ran to them and sheltered them under the umbrella. Without caring too much, he simply handed the umbrella to the little girl and continued shouting in the rain.
"Relief money and food will arrive in Ningzhou soon! Everyone, don't go any further! Go back to Ningzhou!"
The victims stopped when they heard his voice, but soon many voices of opposition broke out in the crowd.
"Why should we listen to you!"
"How do you know the news from the court?"
"You want us to return to Ningzhou? What if we are stopped outside the city by the government?"
"fraud!"
"Liar! Liar!"
"Everyone, kill him! He must have been sent by the higher-ups to stop us. The officials don't dare to let us go to the capital!"
"Yes! These people must have been sent by the higher-ups to stop us because they don't want us to go to Beijing to sue them! Catch them quickly! Beat them to death!"
"How dare you!" You Yunfei was furious.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Gongyi had been planning for them all along, but these people were so ungrateful!
When he saw the victims rioting, he immediately drew his sword.
The sharp sword reflected a cold light in the cold drizzle, immediately shocking the refugees who were ready to move.
Seeing this, he said loudly: "This batch of relief money and grain from the imperial court is personally escorted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! There will be no mistakes! You guys go back to Ningzhou quickly!"
Even though You Yunfei explained the reason why he asked them to go to Ningzhou, the victims still did not believe him.
"What if we go to Ningzhou and they close the city and refuse to accept us?"
"Who are you? Who knows if you are lying to us?"
"Yeah! You evil-hearted people! You shall die a miserable death!"
The public was in an uproar in the heavy rain, and there was a noise coming from the carriage parked not far away.
You Yunfei turned around and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing outside the door curtain.
The man was dressed in a black robe, standing alone in the cold rain, with an indifferent look on his face, attracting the attention of the victims.
When the refugees saw the nobleman in luxurious robes, they couldn't help but quiet down, but they looked at him numbly.
On a rainy night, they were ragged and hungry.
Shen Junzhou stared at those lifeless faces, numb and eager to survive.
He was not merciful, but tonight, for the first time, he was silently beaten by the suffering of the people.
The pacification of Tang had not yet brought about a prosperous era of peace and prosperity with clear political order.
In the carriage, Chun Nianren lowered her eyes and listened quietly to the sound of rain outside. She only raised her eyes slowly when the man's voice sounded.
"I am the crown prince of the current dynasty, Shen Junzhou."
The man's cold voice was filled with a hint of compassion for all living beings.
