Facing Zhu Di's question, Yi Shiha hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
After thinking for a while, he said: "The four provinces are starving and dying all over the place. His Highness the Prince of Wuhu County is concerned about the common people, so he is doing his best to provide relief. This may be because there are so many people affected by the disaster. It has taken a lot of effort to stabilize the overall situation."
He has no power, so he neglected to catch the rebels."
Zhu Di nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "It's difficult, it's really difficult. The thieves are crazy and in the dark, but they have left such a big mess to clean up. As far as Zhang Qing is concerned, it is really a matter of focusing on one thing and not the other. Right now, relief is really for the best.
The first priority, as for catching the rebels, we have to let it be."
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and then said: "Those people who want to go to Beijing, let them go. How can there be no injustice in such a huge disaster? It is difficult for me to understand the current situation of the people in the palace. This time I can inquire in person and understand.
The real situation in Henan and other places."
Yishiha lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "I understand, this slave."
Zhu Di added: "I ordered the officials along the way not to stop me, and the post station can provide some food and drink. Hey..."
Zhu Di sighed. As people get older, their hearts will eventually soften. When he was in Peiping, it was not that he had never seen major disasters, not to mention the military disasters caused by his rebellion, let alone the tragic scenes.
Just because he had seen it before and now thinking about it, this hard-hearted man felt a little extra sad.
Perhaps, people become more indecisive as they get older.
He waved his hand and said: "As for Hu Guang, if he comes to Beijing, tell him to come and see him immediately, hum!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly and his face became gloomy.
Yishiha hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Di's face, and then bowed down and said, "I obey your order."
Qixia.
One report after another was delivered to Zhang Anshi's desk.
Zhang Anshi only took one piece casually, and then...he smiled and looked at Chen Li, who was standing aside.
Chen Li seemed to be aware of Zhang Anshi's intention and stepped forward and said, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Zhang Anshi said: "The thief has left his lair. It seems that there is not much movement."
Chen Li said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Jin Yiwei has made arrangements."
Zhang Anshi said: "That's good. It's very good. Tell them, don't be polite and kill me. It doesn't matter. I, Zhang Anshi, will take care of it."
Chen Li said: "Here."
Zhang Anshi took a few steps and then said: "Besides, there are some people who must be brought to justice."
Chen Li raised his head and glanced at Zhang Anshi. Seeing the cruel look in Zhang Anshi's eyes, he immediately understood what Zhang Anshi meant and said: "I understand, I understand."
Zhang Anshi showed a bit of tiredness at this time, sighed and said: "Hey... there is no need to report what happens in the future, Jin Yiwei can handle it at his own discretion. I don't want to fight and kill, and when I think of this, I
shudder."
Chen Li: "..."
Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Go down."
Chen Li quickly left the palace and went to Nanzhen Fusi.
He summoned his nephew Chen Daowen and ordered: "His Highness said we can take action."
Chen Daowen said in a high-spirited voice: "Then I will go immediately to deliver the news and teach the states and counties to prepare, so that they can be arrested and brought to justice at sea."
Chen Li took a deep look at Chen Daowen and said with profound meaning: "Wait a minute."
Chen Daowen looked at him steadily and said, "Do you have any other instructions?"
Chen Li glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "You stupid boy, why didn't you listen to all the orders? What your Highness means is...except for some people who need to be brought to justice, the rest are not polite and will be killed without mercy!"
Chen Daowington felt like a light on his back, and subconsciously took a breath of cold air.
Immediately, he looked deeply at Chen Li and said, "Is your Highness planning to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
Chen Li said: "His Highness's original words are not like that, but His Highness has specifically given instructions that he is not allowed to fight or kill at the sight, so the rest of the matter will be handled by the Jin Yiwei at his discretion, and there is no need to report any more."
"Ah..." Chen Daowen was a little confused and couldn't help but said: "If that's the case, what does it have to do with shooting without mercy?"
"You..." Chen Li looked at him as if he were a fool and said, "Fortunately, you often serve His Highness, but you don't even know this. Your Highness is kind-hearted and doesn't want to kill people, so there is no need to report! So this order is
What I mean is that if you do something expediently, you can kill when you need to, and there is no need to report it to His Highness."
Chen Daowen suddenly realized: "Uncle... No, what Chen Tongzhi said made me suddenly enlightened. His Highness's thoughts are indeed unpredictable. It seems that I am still too young."
"Study hard in the future." Chen Li said with a straight face, "But things must be done beautifully, so remember that."
Chen Daowen said: "Here."
…………
The night is dark and windy.
Outside Kaifeng City.
On Friday, I took dozens of people with me and went to the mountains overnight to look for some brothers who had fallen into the grass.
People like Friday are originally gangsters in the market, but because they are brave and fierce, they have gained a nickname.
That week, Juren saw that this man had some prestige, so they recruited him.
And with the help of Zhou Juren, he could not only collude with the bandits, but also have the care of the government. Naturally, he became more arrogant and domineering.
This time when Zhou Juren went to Beijing, he was told to make some noise, so besides summoning some of his brothers, the first thing he thought of was the bandits in the nearby mountains.
You must know that throughout the ages, there have been bandits in the mountains and water thieves in the rivers. Even in the peaceful and prosperous times, they have never disappeared. Even during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, due to the isolation of transportation, inconvenient roads, and more government officials
It is impossible to go deep into the mountains and rivers, so there have always been bandits in the mountains.
They make a living by looting, killing people, stealing goods, and cutting people's hearts. Although on the surface they talk about the so-called loyalty or justice for heaven, they must know that the so-called bandits never dare to embarrass the officers and soldiers, let alone bully them.
After all, the local gentry cannot afford to offend these people.
But if they attack passers-by or ordinary villagers around them, they must kill them with the most cruel means, not only to show their reputation, but also to frighten their accomplices. Kill all the men and kill all the women.
He was taken captive into the mountains and subjected to extreme humiliation.
As for the horrifying thing about gouging out a person's liver and drinking alcohol, it is by no means alarmist.
Because people without order and restraint rely on their bravery and ruthlessness to gain a foothold. Whoever is more cruel and whose reputation is more vicious will be feared by others. Only then will the minions surrender to you. The villages you plundered
, so I didn’t dare to resist.
On Friday, I went to the mountain to make contact. There were hundreds of thieves in the mountain. When I heard that Mr. Zhou wanted to borrow it, I was immediately overjoyed.
Bandits are not fools, and it is definitely not a bad thing to have a relationship with someone like Mr. Zhou. If he falls into the hands of the government in the future, with Mr. Zhou as his guarantee, he can escape even the death penalty.
At that moment, the bandit leader boldly patted his chest and promised, and he and Friday burned yellow paper overnight and worshiped their brothers.
When they had eaten and drank enough the next day, they went down the mountain together.
One day later, they attacked the camp in Dongcheng at night.
In fact, it was not just Friday and others who were attacked, but also many other servants and confidants who were looking after the home.
"Kill for me, burn for me, kill and burn everything that can be done, don't let go! Don't touch the girls first, kill the people first!" Friday yelled, his eyes were red at this time, revealing
He realized his true nature as a hero.
Immediately, countless people ran away to kill him.
This is just a camp, where everyone lives together, but for the convenience of storing food, there are no high walls to block it.
Therefore, at this time, there were sudden shouts of death from all directions, and the camp suddenly became chaotic.
The miserable screams of women and children could be heard one after another.
Many men were also confused.
Warning gongs sounded from all sides.
When people were panicking, the bamboo whistle sounded, and someone shouted in the night: "All guards, gather at the porridge shed."
"Assemble..."
"Assemble..."
Many civil servants were also anxious, but it seemed that soon, the Jin Yiwei and some captains from the model camp gathered first, and some even beat the gong and said: "Someone is coming to burn food. Someone is coming to burn food."
In the medical clinic, Liu Jianye's face turned pale with fright. He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
I just heard someone shouting outside: "I heard it. Among the thieves is Friday...and the Hunshilong!"
You may not have heard much about it on Friday, but most people in Kaifeng recognize this Hunshilong.
This man had a vicious reputation. It was said that not hundreds but a thousand people died under his hands, and countless women were raped.
When bandits attack at night, they like to announce their names while killing.
In fact, this is also a kind of strategy. He shouts his evil name. As soon as those poor people hear the word "Hunshilong", they are paralyzed with fear before they can resist.
Therefore, when they hear the word "Hunshilong", many people's legs immediately feel weak.
Liu Jianye was even more frightened.
At this moment, he was curled up in a corner, trembling all over. However, the two doctors seemed to have woken up, and calmly ordered their apprentices: "Quick, prepare the medicine..."
But Liu Jianye couldn't really hear it.
But at this time, someone outside shouted: "Hun Shilong and the people from Taiping Mansion are fighting, and they are here to steal food."
This sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Liu Jianye's body trembled, and he took a hammer that the doctor used to set bones and rushed out.
Outside the medical clinic, the flow of people was like a flood, but all the men, holding pickaxes or sticks, swarmed in the direction of Hunshilong.
Someone shouted: "Kill him, let's fight!"
"Let's fight hard today..."
Liu Jianye felt his blood surge, and the fear in his heart finally dissipated.
He was really scared before, but when he heard about grabbing food, he suddenly thought of the pain of hunger in the past, and thought that today's hard-working and stable life would be gone in a blink of an eye, and then he thought that Hun Shilong was rushing to the Taiping Mansion.
People go.
In Taiping Mansion, there were doctors who taught him medicine, gentlemen who taught the children, civil servants who distributed food and meat to everyone, and soldiers who never violated them.
These people are undoubtedly his Liu Jianye's reborn parents, people who were born rich, servants around him, or relatives who gave him their heartfelt gifts. He even thinks that this is natural, but instead they only boss around and don't care if others give them back.
not enough.
But Liu Jianye, who has experienced hardships, seen warmth and cold, suffered from hunger and cold, and had no one to rely on, even if he only received a little warmth from others, he felt that he could only repay it by being a cow and a horse in this life.
Liu Jianye held the hammer, and now he was infected by the people around him, and he no longer felt afraid.
Now you have to blend into the crowd.
But all of a sudden, he was grabbed by a pair of big hands.
But he saw his father, Liu Jian, dragging him back to the door of the medical center.
"Dad...I..."
Liu Jian said with a sullen face: "You stay here well, you have to treat people's injuries. This is not your baby's business. You are not allowed to go again!"
The excitement ignited in Liu Jianye's chest, as if a basin of ice water had been poured on him.
Liu Jian said: "In this world, life is important. You fool, if your life is gone, you will have nothing. Just hide here."
Liu Jianye hesitated and said: "But..."
"But what?" Liu Jian glared at him and said sternly.
Liu Jianye had a worried look in his eyes and said, "But they..."
Liu Jian glared at him and said: "Who are they? They are dragons from the world, thieves who eat people's hearts! It is said that this person is good with a gun and a stick, and hundreds of people can't get close to him. If you go there, you will die. If you want to live, you forget
What did you tell your mother before she died?"
When Liu Jianye mentioned his late mother, tears welled up in Liu Jianye's eyes and he sobbed uncontrollably.
Liu Jian's expression softened a little, and he patted his shoulder and said, "You have to remember that in this world, if you lose your life, you lose everything. Don't be reckless in anything you do in the future."
At this time, the doctors inside were calling: "Liu Jianye, Liu Jianye, go and prepare the medicine. In addition... find all the disinfectants."
Liu Jianye had no choice but to go in obediently. After he cleaned up for a while, he found that the outside was already noisy, with shouts of death and help everywhere.
He wanted to discuss it with his father, but found that his father was no longer outside the medical center.
I don’t know how long the chaos and shouting for death lasted.
Immediately afterwards, wounded people were carried out one after another.
The doctor led his apprentices, lit lamps one after another, and began to bandage and apply medicine.
After a long time, someone shouted: "The Hunshilong has been killed. This Hunshilong has been beheaded."
Liu Jianye heard someone cheering, but then he saw the patient's wailing and painfully twisted face in front of him. At that moment, he had to put aside his distracting thoughts and bandage the patient as hard as he could.
"Doctor, doctor...save people quickly...save people quickly..."
Another person came in carrying another person and shouted anxiously.
Liu Jianye couldn't take care of it, but a doctor rushed over.
The person carrying the injured said: "This hero is very brave. He ran towards the Hunshilong and grabbed the Hunshilong's hair without letting go. He was slashed twice by the Hunshilong, but he would rather die than let go.
, If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have killed the Hunshilong so easily..."
"He's a man..."
Liu Jianye glanced back subconsciously, and then trembled.
Then, he rushed forward: "Dad..."
But at this moment, Liu Jian was covered in blood, especially at the base of his thigh, where the injury was the most serious. Blood spurted out like a fountain. The doctor covered his hands with gauze, but he couldn't stop it. After a while, blood was left on the ground.
A pool of blood.
Liu Jian glanced at Liu Jianye tiredly and wanted to reach out, but at this time he had no energy left in his body. He could only barely open his eyes slightly, shook his head as if he was breathless, then wriggled his lips and said in a very soft voice
: "There's no cure, there's no cure...it can't be saved..."
Liu Jianye wanted to cry loudly, but found that except for the tears falling like water curtains, his throat was hoarse and he could not make any sound.
The doctor and several companions who brought him were all dejected.
Suddenly, Liu Jian seemed to have gained some strength. He actually stretched out his hand, held Liu Jianye's face, and said: "Baby... you are going to lose your father. You have followed your father and suffered for so many years...
"
His face actually started to turn rosy, and his volume also began to increase a lot. It was obvious that he had reached the point where he had returned to his former glory.
He continued: "Dad never brought you a good life. You once had an eldest brother who died before you were born. One of your two sisters was separated, one died of illness, and you
Mom... eh... eh... I thought that father and son were dependent on each other, but I never thought that you would be alone in the future."
Liu Jianye opened his mouth and only made a sound, but his whole face was covered with tears.
Liu Jian forced a smile: "But I can rest assured, following the people from Taiping Mansion... they are better than dad."
"Remember, you go where they go. Do whatever they ask you to do. Dad is leaving. From now on, don't trust other people's words. Just believe them... The world is dangerous.
Very..."
As he spoke, his body began to twitch, and his face was like a piece of pale paper. The blood gushing from the wound suddenly stopped splashing. His body twitched violently, and his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand-jin burden.
Generally, it is covered slowly.
Soon, Liu Jianye lost his voice and beat his chest, like a night owl, with tears streaming down his face.
That night, the model camp stationed several miles away came to the rescue immediately after hearing the news.
Zhu Gaochi, now one of the team officers, never expected that someone would attack at this time, and the attack would be on the people's camp.
When the model camp was stationed, in order to ensure that it did not disturb the people, it deliberately kept some distance from the people's camps.
At this time, as soon as they heard the warning, they rushed to rescue. Of course, the hundreds of households leading the team obviously knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also in the camp, and they were busy sending people to protect the Queen Zhu Gaochi.
But soon, the model camp was halfway through, and Zhu Gaochi, who was at the rear of the rear team, immediately discovered that the speed of the front team had slowed down a lot.
"What's the matter? The road ahead is blocked?" Zhu Gaochi stepped forward with a livid face.
But the hundred households pressed the hilt of the knife at their waists and said: "No, there was a message from over there that more than two hundred thieves suddenly attacked at night. The people in the camp rose up in anger. Now...the thieves have almost been killed.
It’s done, so…”
Zhu Gaochi: "..."
This is definitely a rare thing for Zhu Gaochi. This kind of night attack involves people who are prepared and unprepared, and who are armed with weapons. They attack and kill almost unarmed people. Even the so-called escorts are just people with wooden sticks.
Suddenly, he directly counterattacked.
If this was reported to his father, he would definitely think it was incredible given his many years of experience in battle.
