Mountain and River Pillow - v2 Chapter 151

    At the end of winter in the fifth year of Yuanhe, the Qingzhou earthquake was felt, and the Luozhou and Baizhou were all felt. Collect those who refuse to pay. Chu Yu killed Hou Yi of Huaiyang, Jiang Yong of Bincheng, and Chen Huai of Luohe within half a month, and the whole world was shocked. After that, no one dared to refuse the payment. During this time, Wei Yun sent troops to Qingzhou to take Qingnan and Qingbei; Chu Linyang took Xiejia Linyi, and Song Shilan took Wang’s three cities.

    The winter was very cold that year, and the earthquake and severe cold both aggravated the disaster in Qingzhou. Fortunately, there was no major shortage of food, and Qingzhou finally stabilized.

    On the day that Qingzhou’s stabilized Zhezi was sent to Huajing, Zhao Yue sat in the imperial study and asked the imperial physician to consult.

    He always feels tired recently. He is a careful person, so he has changed many doctors to come to see him.

    Zhang Hui next to him read the book from Qingzhou to him, and finally said: “Now to help Qingzhou, people like Wei Yun are getting more and more popular among the people. Not much. Your Majesty, do you want us to speak up too, if anyone dares to give them food, we will hit whomever?”

    Wei Yun, Song Shilan, Chu Linyang, these hard bones are hard to bite, but it’s okay to beat those small families.

    Zhao Yue rubbed her head and said with her eyes closed, “Does Gu Chusheng plan to come back?”

    “General Yao didn’t say anything.”

    Zhao Yue responded in a low voice, and then said: “Qingzhou is Yao Yong’s place after all, it completely messed up Qingzhou, and in the end it was Yao Yong who was in trouble. Just save it. However, write a notice saying that Wei Yun robbed our food and grass for disaster relief, and scolded him.”

    Hearing this, Zhang Hui was stunned for a while, and then he reacted.

    Zhao Yue is the imperial court after all, and Qingzhou is in trouble, and it is the imperial court that should relieve the disaster first. However, now the court has not allocated food, so Wei Yun is forced to rescue the disaster. If this matter is really set, the prestige of this court among the people will be over.

    Now they are fighting back, saying that Wei Yun robbed the disaster relief food. First, they can show the people that they are also helping the disaster relief to save the hearts of the people. Second, they can describe Wei Yun’s disaster relief behavior as a show .

    Zhang Hui understood what Zhao Yue meant, and laughed, “It’s still your majesty.”

    Zhao Yue did not speak, he felt that his brain was too painful, and said: “Did you just say, which village in Baizhou is plagued?”

    “It’s just next to a village called Dongjia Village in Qingzhou. The plague has been very serious. Now there is also an epidemic in the village next to Qingzhou. General Yao is dealing with it.”

    “Bring me the map.”

    Zhao Yue opened her eyes, a little tired. Zhang Hui went to get the map and pointed it to Zhao Yue: “Your Majesty, look, this is the place.”

     After staring at Dongjiacun for a long time, Zhao Yue said slowly: “It seems that it is next to Nanjiang.”

    The Nanjiang River is a long river that runs through Baizhou and Huazhou. It originates from Baizhou and Huazhou enters the sea. It is the main river in Huazhou.

    Zhang Hui didn’t understand what Zhao Yue meant, just said: “Yes, Jiang Baicheng is right next to it.”

     After hearing this, Zhao Yue did not speak.

    He stared at Jiang Baicheng, and after a long time, he suddenly said: “Immediately deploy troops to support Yao Yong, regardless of the consequences, take down Jiang Bai!”

    “Your Majesty?”

    Zhang Hui didn’t pick out what Zhao Yue meant, Jiang Bai didn’t need land, and he didn’t have any special materials. He couldn’t understand why he had to take down Jiang Bai with heavy troops.

    “Another 200,000 troops will be dispatched from Yanzhou,” Zhao Yue tapped on the handrail and continued: “Bypass Niucheng and approach Bailing.”

    “Your Majesty,” Zhang Hui frowned: “If you don’t attack Niucheng, go directly to Bailing, then Wei Yun will come back with his troops and attack Bailing with Niucheng’s soldiers and horses. It’s not right.”

    “Don’t stop after capturing Bailing,” Zhao Yue rubbed her head: “Take Wei Yun’s family away.”

    Only then did Zhang Hui understand.

    This emperor is not a person with military talents, but he is more constructive in ruthless power. Fighting for a city has never been because it is a military location or what kind of materials he has, it is just because there are people there who will be concerned by the other party’s master.

    He let Bei Di win the Wei family in Baidi Valley, using Yao Yong’s cowardice and the Wei family’s integrity, what he wants to do now is still the same.

    Zhang Hui took the order and arranged it.

    After Zhang Hui walked out, Zhao Yue opened her eyes and looked at the imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground beside him to give him a pulse, and said, “Teacher Gao, is there any result?”

    “Your Majesty…” Imperial Physician Gao said a little nervously: “You are probably too worried…”

    “I’ve been feeling exhausted lately.”

    “You are indeed exhausted.”

    Zhao Yue was silent for a moment, he finally stood up and walked into the palace of the eldest princess.

    When he went, the eldest princess was instructing people to dig soil under the plum tree.

    Nowadays, most of the plum blossoms have fallen, leaving only a few, scattered in the woods. He looked at the eldest princess from a distance, and saw her calm expression instructing people to dig up the soil, and then put a few jars of wine in it.

    Zhao Yue kept silent. After the eldest princess buried the wine, the person next to her reminded the eldest princess: “Mother, Your Majesty is there.”

    The eldest princess raised her head and saw Zhao Yue standing by the tree. Seeing that she had discovered herself, Zhao Yue walked over to her, tidied up her clothes, and said gently, “What are you doing? Woolen cloth?”

    “Buried a few jars of wine.” The eldest princess laughed: “When next winter, you can dig it out and drink it.”

    Zhao Yue reached out and held her hand, her hand seemed to be on ice in winter, Zhao Yue wrapped her hand and said with a smile: “The child will speak out next year, I will drink with you.”

    The eldest princess smiled and did not speak, Zhao Yue took her into the palace, and said tiredly: “Now the world is in chaos, Wei Yun, Song Shilan, Chu Linyang … none of them make you worry .”

    He took the eldest princess and sat in the room, let someone bring hot water over, wiped the handkerchief for her, and whispered: “But don’t worry too much, I will clean it up Everything, when our child grows up,” Zhao Yue raised his head, looked at her and smiled: “I will give him a stable throne.”

    “You will be the queen, and the queen mother in the future,” Zhao Yue raised her hand and put it on her hair, with a gentle and solemn expression: “You will always be the most honorable in this world for the rest of your life. A woman who will not suffer any grievances.”

    Hearing this, the eldest princess trembled slightly. She lowered her eyes and looked at her hand. After a long time, she finally responded in a low voice, “Yeah.”

    “His Royal Highness,” he leaned lightly on her shoulder, relying on her just like in the Princess Mansion before: “What I do is for you and the child, don’t blame me.”

    The eldest princess didn’t speak. She felt the temperature on her shoulders. He has been getting worse and worse recently, and occasionally his eyes are dark and blurry.

    She knew why, she felt his weakness, and was clearly aware of the loss of his vitality, she held his hand with rare tolerance, and said slowly: “Ayue, People have to talk about good fortune in their whole life, you should accumulate some virtue for me and my children.”

    Zhao Yue leaned against her, and after a long time, he slowly said, “Don’t worry.”

    He hugged her and smiled lowly: “I will go to hell, you and the child will be fine.”

    “Ayue…” The eldest princess held his hand tightly: “Why…”

    “Chunhua,” Zhao Yue felt her unease, he raised his head and looked at the eldest princess, with bitterness in his eyes: “There are some roads I walk up, and I can’t look back. Wei Yun You won’t let me go, you understand?”

    The eldest princess stared at him blankly, Zhao Yue suppressed her emotions and said with difficulty: “From the moment I killed the Wei family for revenge, I can’t look back.”

    “Between me and Wei Yun,” Zhao Yue slowly calmed down: “One must die. But don’t worry,” he held her hand and said firmly: “That person won’t be I.”

    When Zhao Yue’s order was passed down, Wei Yun had just taken Qingnan, he first returned to Bailing, and after making some arrangements, he contacted Shen You again, ready to join forces to attack Yu Water, once the Yushui is removed, it is just around the corner to level Qingzhou.

    At this time, Chu Yu had just arrived in Yuancheng, and the news that Wei Yun had captured Qingnan did not arrive in Yuancheng. Sun Yi was assigned as the defender of Yuancheng, so Chu Yu asked Sun Yi to write back and ask What is Wei Yun doing now.

    Sun Yi was a little strange, and said, “General, why don’t you ask yourself?”

    Chu Yu was a little embarrassed, and waved her hand: “If you ask me, just ask, where do you come from so many questions?”

    Sun Yi wrote according to Chu Yu’s request, and said: “You are really strange, it stands to reason, whether it is the identity of the general or the lover of this war, you write to Your lord is just right, why are you being shy?”

    “Where am I shy?” Chu Yu finally said: “Isn’t this for his sake?”

    “For your sake?” Sun Yi was a little puzzled, Chu Yu sighed, sat cross-legged on the table, propped her chin and said, “As soon as I write a letter, he must know that I miss him, he Knowing that I miss him and he misses me too, why don’t you want to see me in the night? If you want to see me, how will you fight this battle?”

    Sun Yi was stunned by such straightforward words, he couldn’t recover for a long time, or the voice of Wanyue came from outside: “Miss, someone outside is asking for a meeting, saying that he is here to find Gu grown ups.”

    Chu Yu was stunned for a while, Gu Chusheng has been away from Yuancheng for many days now, who else will come to him?

    However, Chu Yu didn’t think much, stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll go take a look.”

    Chu Yu led the people out of the door, and saw a woman standing at the door. The woman looked very young, wearing a rags and holding a child. Chu Yu looked at the woman up and down, and went up to respectfully and said, “Are you looking for Master Gu?”

    The woman came up to kneel when she saw Chu Yu, and Chu Yu hurriedly lifted her. After the two chatted for a while, the woman said, “To tell you the truth, it’s not that the concubine is looking for Master Gu, but someone told the concubine that Master Gu is looking for me.”

    “Who are you?”

    Chu Yu frowned, and the woman sighed: “My concubine is the wife of Li’s family. I heard that Master Gu was looking for my father-in-law Li Le, so she came up.”

    Chu Yu didn’t quite know what Gu Chusheng was looking for Li Le to do. She thought about it, she hadn’t seen Wei Qingping and Gu Chusheng for a long time, and she didn’t know where they were or what the disaster was like. Now that all the food has entered Qingzhou from Yuancheng, she thought about it, and let people know Sun Yi, and she led the woman into Qingzhou by herself.

    At this moment, Gu Chusheng and Wei Qingping are doing disaster relief in a small town called Quanyong.

    Chu Yu took the woman for five days before arriving at Quan Yong.

    On the way, Chu Yu talked to this woman, only to find out that her name is Chen Jiu’er, the Li Le that Gu Chusheng was looking for was her father-in-law, and she was the wife of Li Le’s third son.

    Li Le’s family had two sons and one daughter. They were recruited earlier. The eldest son went to the battlefield and never came back. Later, the tax was too heavy, and Chen Jiu’er’s husband couldn’t pay the tax as required due to the poor harvest that year. He was beaten by officers and soldiers and died in his hospital bed. The last youngest daughter sold herself into a wealthy businessman’s house as a slave because of her family’s poverty. Now she doesn’t know her whereabouts, so she left Chen Jiu’er to take care of the remaining three children.

    However, the army was in chaos, and there was an earthquake. Three of the children became ill and two of them became ill. In the end, she was left with her youngest son, who was born soon.

    When she met Chu Yu, Chen Jiuer had no milk, and the child just drank some rice soup for disaster relief. That is, on the way to Quanyong City, Chen Jiuer ate meat and finally had milk.

    Quanyong City is the last disaster relief city.

    In fact, Quan Yong was severely damaged, but the officials did not report it. When Gu Chusheng knew it, it was too late.

    When Chu Yu arrived at Quanyong City, she saw the ruins and broken beams, and the body was pushed out by a car, and it was to be dragged out and cremated according to Wei Qingping’s instructions. Different from other cities, the whole city of Quanyong is very quiet, with a kind of gloom that needs no words, which makes people feel dull inside.

    Chen Jiu’er followed Chu Yu with her child in her arms, and said timidly, “Sir…”

    “No harm.”

    Chu Yu said lightly, “Just follow me.”

    Speaking, Chu Yu asked the officers and soldiers to lead the way and escorted the food.

    There are very few people in Quanyong, Chu Yu went to the place where the grain was stored, and no one even came to help unload the goods, Chu Yu could only unload the goods by herself, and then searched for someone, and asked to go to the place where Gu Chusheng lived .

    According to the instructions of passers-by, most people are now in the medical house. Chu Yu led Chen Jiuer to the medical house. When they approached the medical house, they heard the mourning and crying inside , panicked voices.

    Chu Yu walked into the medical house and saw rows of patients lined up, and many people shuttled among these people. Bandage them and give them medicine.

    Chu Yu saw a red figure from a distance, his hair was covered with a cloth crown, his clothes were dyed with mud, he was wearing a white medicine skirt, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, He hurried to the front of an old man. At the beginning of the period, he was very patient to give the other party medicine, but he didn’t know what was wrong, the other party began to cough rapidly, and blood flowed out of the other party’s mouth, Gu Chusheng panicked, and began to cry like crazy: “Wei Qingping! Wei Qingping! “

    However, there are too many patients, and Wei Qingping is still giving another needle on the other side.

    Gu Chusheng turned out the needle skillfully and tremblingly, stuck it on the acupoint that Wei Qingping had treated him, and grabbed the medicine sent by the doctor next to him, and stuffed it into the other’s mouth.

    “You hold on…” He said tremblingly: “Master, hold on, your son will be back soon, you must hold on!”

    He seemed flustered, Chu Yu walked over slowly, watching him desperately trying to rescue the old man who was vomiting blood.

    However, in the end, the person slowly lost his breath. Even though Gu Chusheng tried his best, he still closed his eyes.

    Gu Chusheng knelt on the spot, staring blankly at the old man.

    After a long time, Chu Yu raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder.

    “Master Gu,” she said softly, “the person has left.”

    Gu Chusheng turned back slowly, he looked up at the woman beside him.

      With a little comfort in it, he said, “Master Gu, take a rest.”

    Gu Chusheng listened to her words, and it took a long time to recover.

    He smiled slowly and called out her name: “Ayu.”

    Speaking, he raised his hand and stood up with the help of the medical boy beside him. The others had already come over to deal with the old man. Gu Chusheng didn’t look at him, turned his back to the corpse, and said to Chu Yu, “Long time no see.”

    “Hmm.”

    Chu Yu looked him up and down for a moment, then gave in: “I heard that you are looking for Li Le, this is Li Le’s daughter-in-law, I will bring it to you to meet.”

    Gu Chusheng’s eyes fell on the woman holding the child behind Chu Yu. The other party lowered his head and did not dare to look up at him.

    Gu Chusheng just glanced at her and already understood what happened.

    He clenched his fists tightly. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said with difficulty: “Is there anyone else at home?”
