Chapter 155: Wolves are everywhere in Jiangbei

A melodious song came from the courtyard, singing the story of Xi Shi's girl washing silk and sinking fish.

Shi Gan looked at Miss Yunyi, who was singing while drying sheets, and didn't know how to speak. He and the stunning girl floating on the river were old acquaintances. Every time Qin Lei made fun of other girls, he would serve him.

When Yun Yi saw him, she wiped her hands with her apron, closed her hair in her ears, and walked over. Shi Gan straightened her chest and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please."

Yun Yi nodded, took off her apron, handed it to her female companion, and followed him out of the courtyard, leaving only a group of goblins talking.

The two walked silently one after another until they entered the wing room without speaking. This made Shi Gan, who had been talking, would he feel relieved if Miss Yun Yi spoke, would he feel a little guilty.

Qin Lei was the only one in the room. He was leisurely leaning on the Grand Master's chair halfway and humming an ugly little song. Shi Gan said softly: "Prince, Miss Yun Yi is here."

Qin Lei raised his head and smiled at Yun Yi. The smile fell into Yun Yi's eyes, which was so hateful. Qin Lei smiled and said, "Yun Yi, are you doing it happily in the laundry place?"

Yun Yi said expressionlessly: "Prince Lao is worried, Yun Yi is very happy."

Qin Lei nodded and smiled, "That's good, so that others can't help but say that the Lone King is not taking good care of him."

Yun Yi's body trembled and did not answer.

Qin Lei said with a depressed look on his face: "Why don't you speak? Are you blamed for never listening to you?"

Yun Yi pursed her lips tightly, not knowing how to answer this man's crazy words.

Qin Lei raised his head, looked at the pretty face of Yixi Yichen, and whispered: "Tell me about your past?"

Yun Yi held her hands in a staggered manner, and the forceful place was already a little blue. She lowered her head and thought for a long time before she raised her head and looked directly at Qin Lei bravely, and said firmly: "If you want to know what the prince is, please ask, I will not hide it from you."

Qin Lei was a little surprised by Yun Yi's attitude, and no longer had a strange tone, and said seriously: "Can you tell me, what is your name?"

"Qiao Yunshang." Yun Yi looked at Qin Lei calmly.

Qin Lei nodded and said, "There is a Buddhist girl in Maitreya, who seems to be called this name."

"It's my family." Qiao Yunshang's expression did not fluctuate at all.

Qin Lei asked again: "What's your relationship with Gong Liangyu?"

"He is my senior brother." Qiao Yunshang said sadly.

"Can you tell me his true origin?" Qin Lei asked with his eyes narrowed.

"The Chu people came out of Guigu with their family."

Qin Lei whispered: "I want to be more detailed."

"I don't know that my senior brother is very mysterious and never talks about these things. But he must have a great influence in Chu State."

Qin Lei narrowed his eyes and said, "So you are also a spy from Nan Chu Mi?"

Yun Shang shook his head and said, "No. I am a native of Qin, how could I become a lackey of Nan Chu?"

"How could he do things for Gong Liangyu?"

"More than half a year ago, my senior brother found me and said that he had done a good deed that could help many poor people. But when he was about to be summoned to the capital, he asked me to take care of me. Then I came out of Guigu and became a Buddhist girl from the Maitreya Sect."

Qin Lei said without comment: "What's next?"

Yun Shang said with a look of remembrance: "It was very good at first. I organized the poor people and each of them took out a small part of the money and put it in the temple. Whoever has any disaster or trouble can use this money to resist it."

Qin Lei said curiously: "Did you come up with this method? It seems that your Guigu Sect is still very powerful."

Yun Shang said a little ashamed: "I learned medical skills, and this method was mentioned by my teacher in the early years."

Qin Lei praised: "Masters have great wisdom."

Yun Shang said proudly: "Who is the wise man in the world who doesn't know the North Shenji in the South Ghost Valley?"

Qin Lei laughed and said, "I am a little fascinated by it. But Yun Shang, you should talk about the topic."

Yun Shang pouted and turned the topic back to the Maitreya religion and said, "But later, the senior brother came back, and he asked the slave to promote such things as "Sakya is about to die, Maitreya should be established", "sacrificing oneself for the Buddha, and then celebrating that joy". Naturally, the slave would not agree, and there was a conflict."

Yun Shang said with anger: "He pretended to make peace and put a sweat medicine in my wine and drinks, but he didn't know that I was immersed in the decoction since I was a child, and my physical resistance was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Although I didn't check for a while and found out that he was talking, I still forced myself to escape from the demon cave. Uncle Chai chased the slave all the way to the riverside, and the doctor attacked me again. I was about to faint, so I threw myself into the river, hoping to die to make Wei clear of my innocence."

He turned to a little helpless and said, "But he was saved by the prince."

Qin Lei couldn't help but be happy when he heard her say this: "It seems like he was saved by the Lone King. Are you very unhappy?"

Yun Shang said sadly: "I know that after being tricked by my senior brother, the Maitreya Sect will definitely become extremely dangerous. Sooner or later, it will cause trouble to the Qin Dynasty. Yun Shang did this to help the evil, so why would he still have the face to face the elders of his hometown?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "So you changed your name? And you also volunteered to become a laundry woman?"

Yun Shang opened his mouth slightly and thought to himself, how could there be such a shameless person? You obviously made fun of me and sent me to the laundry room? Why did I volunteer again?

Qin Lei said without any awareness: "If you have the will to do good, you will not reward your good, and if you have no intention of doing evil, you will not punish your evil. You are not allowed to blame yourself too much. And you have the chance to save your mistakes..."

Yun Shang's eyes showed a rippling radiance for the first time, and he said happily: "Really?"

Qin Lei nodded with a smile and said, "The Lord will teach you how to do it at that time." Then he asked, "Yun Shang, there is one more thing, where have you brought the Orphan little palace maid?"

Yun Shang said embarrassedly: "Senior brother took it away. He didn't say it, and I didn't know it either."

Qin Lei said angrily: "Why don't you know anything? No wonder you're just having fun."

Yun Shang said aggrievedly: "I think it's fun and I've come down the mountain with my senior brother. How can I understand all these things?"

Qin Lei waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, go back and wash your clothes. I will call you when I use you."

Yun Shang thought that after revealing her identity, she might have been tied up by Qin Lei, or she might have been regarded as a guest of honor by Qin Lei, but she never thought about where she would come from.

She stammered: "Prince, can you change my errands for me?"

Qin Lei said strangely: "People say they are happy and sing them. Aren't you very happy to see you?"

Now it was Yun Shang's turn to be curious: "Prince, when did you see me work?"

Qin Lei, who said he was revealing his mouth, said embarrassedly, "I heard, I heard." He asked quickly, "Why do you want to change your errands?"

Yun Shang stretched out his white hands and placed them in front of Qin Lei, whispering: "The hands are chapped..."

Qin Lei grabbed a little hand of the girl, put it in her hand and pinched it, and then carefully observed: "It's still very delicate."

Yun Shang blushed and pulled back his little hand hard, and cried, "Then I will come to you when my family is really rough."

Qin Lei thought to himself, I can't stand it. I feel so pitiful to me. Restraint and restraint are all evil. I can't be sorry for Shi Yun...

Yun Shang secretly looked at Qin Lei. Seeing that he was gritting his teeth, he thought there was no chance, so he was about to take a leave. Unexpectedly, Qin Lei said in a strange voice: "Wait for Gu to let Huang Zhao change his job..."

Since Yun Shang admitted it openly, there was no need to let Zhishan come out to recognize others. Qin Lei swayed back to the study, wanting to continue the unfinished chess game.

But this game of chess is obviously impossible to play for a while. There are two more people in the study, Bo Shang Saiyang and Qin Youcai. The two were chatting with Governor Qu, and when they saw Qin Lei coming in, they quickly got up to greet him.

They pretended to be unfamiliar and greeted Qin Youcai. The two soon met too late and were very likely to be called brothers. Boshang Saiyang and Qu Yanwu were very jealous.

After talking nonsense, Qin Lei started to focus on the topic and said to Qin Youcai: "Governor Kuo has raised 200,000 taels of silver for your army, and the remaining 100,000 is not difficult. Gu Baoguan will give you a lot of money after the pacification of Jiangbei."

Qin Youcai naturally expressed satisfaction. Then he asked respectfully: "Prince, how do you deal with those Jingzhou troops?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "I will support them for a few more days, and then I will be of use."

Qu Yanwu praised: "The prince is as smart as a sea, and I really admire him!"

Qin Lei said seriously: "Mr. Qu said this, I am proud of myself."

On the one hand, Bo Shang Saiyang got goosebumps all over his body and thought to himself, could this old man become the governor who relied on flattery?

Qin Youcai, but he had no idea, continued to ask: "Dare you ask the prince, what will be the next step for me?"

Qin Lei looked at Qu Yanwu, and Governor Kuo smiled knowingly and said, "Rest."

"Rest?" Qin Youcai said inexplicably.

Qin Lei nodded and said, "No, just rest, let's talk about it for ten or eight days."

Although Qin Youcai didn't understand the tricks, since Qin Lei said so, he agreed.

Qin Lei really pressed the Zhennan Army into the mountains and rivers for a full eight days.

During these eight days, the situation in the south was deteriorating. The Maitreya Cult was invaded in Fancheng, Xiangyang. Prince Longhua called on the flag of Maitreya Buddha's Kingdom and called on believers from all over the world to revive and establish a pure land of paradise where everyone is rich. This move was echoed by the believers in the two provinces and even the surrounding provinces. They rose up under the banner of "Sakya Buddha is declining, and Maitreya Buddha should hold the world", and they rose up, killing officials, robbing wealthy families, attacking the prefectures, and plundering the official warehouses. However, the guards in various places did not move. For a time, there was no state prefecture and no large clans would not be robbed. The whole south was in a mess, and the country was changing color.

The anxious documents flew to Zhongdu like snowflakes, filling the dragon case in the imperial study. Emperor Zhaowu was naturally furious, and Li Hun's face was gloomy. Even Prime Minister Wen, who was not showing any expression on weekdays, was a little angry.

The three of them got angry, but they still had to discuss a countermeasure. Of course, the prime minister had the most say in this matter. Wen Yanbo said in a deep voice: "It is not advisable to hold officials from both provinces accountable at this time. Suppressing the rebellion is the top priority. Weichen believes that the first thing to do is to quickly block the borders of the two provinces to prevent the poison from spreading to other provinces. Only then can we send troops to suppress bandits. As for what soldiers to send, it is not Weichen's idea."

The meaning is very obvious. You two are arguing, I look at it. Sure enough, Emperor Zhaowu wants Li Hun’s people to go, and Li Hun wants Emperor Zhaowu’s people to go. When the two of them were not giving in, they shouted "Report... His Highness, Prince Long, the Governor of Jiangbei, and the Governor of Jiangbei jointly issued an emergency for 800 miles."

Li Hun laughed and said, "Let's see how these three people say it."

Emperor Zhaowu's eyelids drooped and he said in a deep voice: "Xuan!"

A little eunuch then entered the imperial study with a wooden box with a multi-printed letter. Old eunuch Zhuo took the wooden box and presented it to Emperor Zhaowu. Emperor Zhaowu took the exquisite knife on the imperial desk and cut the seal with his own hands. Then he opened the wooden box and took out the memorial inside and started reading.

After he finished reading it, an elusive smile appeared on his gloomy face. He handed the letter to the old eunuch Zhuo, and the old eunuch Zhuo hissed and started reading it.

When the two bigwigs heard this, their faces became strange. It turned out that the three people in Jiangbei had promised to pacify Jiangdong within two months and also had to solve the situation of the military system. As a condition, they were given, or to be precise, to give them full power to the military and political power of Qinlei provinces for two months. If all these three points were not solved by then, they could be dealt with.

Li Hun curled his lips and said, "This is a military order."

Prime Minister Wen also smiled and said, "The Fifth Prince is really a little sharp."

The two of them said it was neither salty nor light, but everyone thought that it would be great if Qin Lei could take over the mess in the south. Even if it was messed up, it would give the court a buffer period and send troops to quell the rebellion after the Xia tax revenue came. If the rebellion was successful by luck, it would be just right to solve the military and political problems of the two provinces.

The two big names did not think that Qin Lei could really solve the military and political problems of the two provinces that were difficult to return. They believed that this stupid boy would definitely kill and arrest him, making the south chaotic and complained. In this way, they would first punish Qin Lei, appease the local area, and then carry out reforms, the resistance would be much smaller.
