Chapter 213 It's really raining
"Really?" Shangguan Yunba asked excitedly. After all, this matter really makes Shangguan Yunba a little anxious. The food for disaster relief was embezzled by some corrupt officials, and even provoked civil unrest. Even if disaster relief food is distributed again, not much of it can be distributed to the people. That's why Shangguan Yunba is entangled. I don't know whether we should continue to allocate food or directly contact the army to suppress the riots.
But this is the case. Those who make mistakes are the corrupt officials below, but those who bear the bad reputation will always be the emperor, and the local officials have always deceived the superiors. The people don't know that the court has allocated them food for relief, and these food has been fed by their parents and officials. They will only think that the court doesn't care about their life or death.
But what about it actually? As long as the emperor is not too mediocre, it is impossible to really sit back and watch this happen. After all, the country is the emperor's own family, and it is impossible not to think that the country is safe and the people are rich. Unfortunately, the people don't know that in their eyes, the court doesn't care about their life or death. In the absence of a way to live, it is naturally better to kill officials and rebel than to starve to death directly.
In the face of this kind of thing, the emperor can't really give up and take care of anything, because if the court doesn't pay attention to it, the civil unrest will not slowly calm down, and it will only become more and more chaotic.
For local officials, they will not report any civil unrest and will only find other ways to suppress it, but how many soldiers can there be in one town? Moreover, these soldiers are also raised by their parents. Where their ancestors live, it is likely that there will be small relatives among the chaotic people.
So gradually there will be fewer and fewer soldiers, and the ranks of the rioters will become bigger and bigger. Coupled with the incitement of people with intentions, it is likely to shake the foundation of the country.
For this kind of thing, Shangguan Yunba naturally hates it very much, but what can it do? Local officials govern the local area, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The emperor is not an immortal, and it is impossible to hold every move of the whole country in his hands. It is even more impossible to really kill a local official from the top. Even if you really do it ruthlessly. Maybe another one is more greedy than the current one.
So in the end, Shangguan Yunba gritted his teeth and broadcasted relief again and again. Send close friends to fight with local officials and strive to distribute as much relief as possible to the people.
But what about now? His new high priest actually said, "Will it rain in the northwest recently?" Shangguan Yunba is a little doubtful whether he is hallucinating. The disaster in the northwest is a sweat disaster. As long as it rains, the civil war will be easy to control. Even if local officials embezzle a little, as long as a part of the grain can be in the hands of the people, this chaos will not happen.
The people are actually easy to feed. As long as they can eat a mouthful of food, who is willing to rebel against the risk of destroying the family?
So excitedly, Shangguan Yunba didn't even care about the emperor's prestige. He grabbed his new high priest's hand and asked, "You may be sure?"
Yu Yaobai quietly pulled out her hand and replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, if you believe in divination, you will not believe it. I just do my part. I dare not say, but I'm still sure of 80%. As long as there is no special change, the rain can basically rain!"
Although he didn't say enough, Yuyao Bai's light-hearted attitude gave Shangguan Yunba considerable confidence, not to say how much Shangguan Yunba believed in this heart as a high priest. It's just that at this point, there is no hope.
"As long as it really rains this time, the most meritorious person in the rebellion in the northwest must be the high priest. At that time, I will definitely not treat the high priest badly!" Shangguan Yun Balong said happily, and he couldn't help but bring a trace of respect in his tone.
"It is my servant's job to share the worries of your majesty!" Although Shangguan Yunba made a good promise, Yu Yaobai seemed to have just done a trivial thing. I'm not afraid at all because if I make a mistake, I will be implicated. Or be happy with the benefits after the success of divination.
"Very good, high priest, you step down first. I need to start to arrange it!" Seeing his high priest say so, the smile on Shangguan Yunba's face rose even more. With a smile, Yuyao retreated in vain.
It is said to be a layout, but in this case, Shangguan Yunba actually has no good way. We can only strictly order all government officials not to embezzle, and then continue to allocate a batch of disaster relief food. Of course, Shangguan Yunba's words can be heard a little, but no one can say it clearly. What should be said above is said, and the following should be greedy and will definitely not be soft at all.
As for other things, Yu Yaobai's divination this time, except for Shangguan Yunba's heart with a little hope. In fact, the actual effect is really not much.
"Report! Report! Report! On the first day after the divination, an 800-mile rush from the northwest shouted loudly and did not stop all the way. Without changing the horse, it directly sent from the northwest to Chudu.
This kind of urgent 800 miles can only be used when the local government sends some 100,000 urgent medals to the central government. The reason why the scouts shouted all the way was to remind all the people along the way to avoid it.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the current ministers and even the relatives of the emperor have to make way for the scouts when they meet the 800-li rushing scouts on the road. Because what people beat is a big deal. No one can delay it.
The scout went straight to the palace all the way. It was evening at this time. Shangguan Yunba was still using the imperial meal, but when he heard that it was 800 miles in the northwest, his heart was tight. I thought, "Is there something wrong in the northwest?"
So his face changed, and he didn't eat the imperial meal and immediately said to Li Fuchen, "Xuan!"
"I obey the order!" Naturally, Li Fuchen also knew a priority. At this time, he did not say anything about his majesty's incongruity. He quickly went out to summon and wait for a meeting.
The whole body is dusty, and I don't know how many days the clothes have not been washed. The whole body is either sweaty or watery. As soon as I entered the door, a smell of sweat came to my face. It looks unusually strong in this neat imperial canteen. The maid behind Shangguan Yunba couldn't help frowning.
"Knock to see my emperor! Long live! Long live! Long live!" Eating the latter's words were extremely fast, and Shangguan Yunba could almost only hear the last few words. Then the scout was already finished with the salute.
Shangguan Yunba naturally doesn't care, because he knows very well that since this scout came from the northwest, he must have slept immediately all the way. After running to the capital, it is definitely the end of a strong crossbow. So he immediately asked, "What's the matter!"
"Your Majesty, it has been raining in the northwest since the day before yesterday. The torrential rain has lasted for hundreds of miles, and almost half of the northwest has rained. The governor of the northwest has ordered an urgent report to your majesty. After the rain, the civil unrest will definitely ease. Please ask the court to make the arrangement early!" After saying that, he fell down with a crooked head.
"Come and pass on the imperial doctor!" Seeing this, Shangguan Yunba immediately said urgently.
After a while, the imperial doctor ran up sweating profusely. After just a glance, he said to Shangguan Yunba, "Your Majesty, this man is just overworked and fainted, and his life is not in danger!"
"That's good!" Shangguan Yunba suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He is a real person who has led soldiers to fight, and his level of leading troops is very unusual. Naturally, he knows how important the lives of soldiers are, especially such loyal people.
For the governor of the northwest, Shangguan Yunba's impression is not so good. You should know that the biggest culprit of the civil unrest this time is the governor of the northwest.
If it hadn't been for the ugly appearance of the northwest governor, how could the people have provoked civil unrest without a grain of relief food sent by the imperial court?
This northwest governor has a little brain and doesn't do things too well. There can't be such a large-scale civil unrest.
But what about now? The situation in the northwest has just improved a little, and the governor of the northwest can't wait to ask for credit! Just because it rained. I don't know how big the rain has been and when it is expected to fall. Is it possible to really alleviate the drought? Has 800 miles been sent to Chudu?
This is an early preparation, which does not mean that Shangguan Yunba asked Shangguan Yunba to think about how to deal with the disaster. More should be about asking for credit, which is a blatant benefit.
"Huh! I don't know what to do!" Shangguan Yunba said with a sneer. Playing tricks in front of his Shangguan Yunba, and really treating him as a fool who doesn't know anything?
So this northwest governor who thinks he is romantic and has the charm of ancient celebrities. When the situation in the northwest had just stabilized, he had been directly sentenced to 3,000 miles of exile by Shangguan Yunba. This is also the blessing of the power of the family. Shangguan Yunba really doesn't recommend using his head to prove his iron-blooded selflessness.
After this matter, Shangguan Yunba gradually paid attention to his high priest. As the contact time gets longer and longer. Yu Yaobai has given more and more divination to Shangguan Yunba. Shangguan Yunba's trust in Yu Yaobai became deeper. And it is getting stronger and stronger.
After all, no matter who it is, it is impossible to distrust a person with a divination success rate of 90%. Because the other party can say what is about to happen every time.
With such a useful future forecaster around you, how can you not rely on the other party? From the most open to some things that are not so important, Shangguan Yunba will ask the high priest to divine the general result for himself.
Later, the high priest would participate in everything, and even some things that were not so open and upright gradually stopped avoiding the high priest. After that, it even developed into the administrative decisions of many countries, which were also carried out through the divination of the high priest. And because of the trust in the high priest himself. Therefore, even with the elixir of immortality in the mouth of the high priest, Shangguan Yunba slowly and unconsciously believed in it.
In the whole process, Yu Yaobai has never recommended her so-called elixir of immortality in front of Shangguan Yunba, because he knows that no matter who they are, they only believe what they are willing to believe, only believe what they see with their own eyes or hear with their own ears. Even if these things may not be true, people still Subconsciously willing to believe.
Let Shangguan Yunba pay attention to the elixir of immortality, which is obviously much better than his painstaking persuasion every day.
Just like today, Yu Yaobai has hit Shangguan Yunba in the face, which is the last thing Shangguan Yunba doesn't want to mention. Let Yu Yaobai say it openly in the court. Even so, Shangguan Yunba did not doubt whether Yu Yaobai approached him purposefully, and did not doubt the authenticity of the elixir of immortality, which shows that Yu Yaobai was obviously successful.
"The high priest, I ask myself why you treat me like this?" Ignoring the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty. Shangguan Yunba looked at Yuyao Bai with disappointment and asked.
"Your Majesty! It's just to take back what belongs to you!" Yuyao Bai looked at Shangguan Yunba disdainfully and said.
"I can give you whatever you want. As long as you concentrate on refining the elixir of immortality for me. No matter what, I can give it to you! And I can swear that I won't blame the past for what happened today!" Shangguan Yunba said with all his sworn. If you don't know the truth, you will definitely think that Shangguan Yunba is such an open-minded emperor at this time.
But he didn't expect that at this time, Shangguan Yunba was already eager to eat Yuyao's white meat and drink Yuyao's white blood.
Yu Yaobai stroked her chest and laughed as if she had heard some joke. She laughed out of breath, as if she had heard some big joke.
Shangguan Yunba was suddenly laughed at by Yu Yaobai. He laughed inexplicably. He didn't know why. He said angrily, "What do you mean?"
"Shangguan Yunba! Shangguan Yunba, you are still the king of a country. I didn't expect to be so naive! What you have said is so obvious, how can you still know yourself? Yu Yaobai stopped smiling and replied with a smile.
"God is really you. Do you really think I don't know anything? Come on!" Shangguan Yunba laughed angrily and roared.
Just as Shangguan Yunba fell, several answers sounded in the hall at the same time. Then the civil and military ministers of the Man Dynasty only felt a flower in front of them, and a soapy shadow flashed. I don't know when a group of eunuchs appeared in the hall like ghosts, and they were distributed beside them. There is a faint tendency to surround the literature and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty. There were hundreds of literary and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, and almost no one could see clearly when these eunuchs appeared.
"Myss!" A chilling sound sounded. In the eyes of such a large public, these people actually appeared as soon as they appeared, and they also appeared beside themselves. What if these people don't appear to agree to Shangguan Yunba, but to take their own lives? I guess I'm already on the ground now, right?
Almost all people look ugly. After all, in this moment, their fate is completely out of their hands. Even some people couldn't help touching their necks, as if they were glad that their heads were still on their necks.
Shangguan Yunba naturally saw the ugly face of the ministers. The anger that had been forced by the ministers disappeared in an instant. He pointed to the Wenwu of the full dynasty and smiled proudly, "How? The high priest? Now do you still think there is a place for you to talk in the court of Fengchu? I'll teach you a good boy today. Strength is the most important thing. These people will only be on your side when you have strength, but if your strength is not good! They are just a bunch of decorations!"
After saying that, Shangguan Yunba stood up fiercely and continued to persuade him, "The high priest! As long as you honestly refine the elixir of immortality for me, I won't kill you!"
"Ha ha! It's worthy of your majesty, it's really hidden!" Unlike other people in the hall. For the arrival of these internal guard eunuchs, there was no change on Yuyao's white face. It seems that these sudden internal defense masters are not horrible mysterious masters, but just a few mosquitoes.
"The High Priest! Don't put it down! I know your little actions clearly. Now that your helpers have been taken down by me, it doesn't make sense to hold on any longer! I have said I won't kill you! Why don't you kneel down and plead guilty?" The more Yuyao Bai is, the lighter the wind is, and the uneasiness in Shangguan Yunba's heart is even better. The last sentence is almost shouted out.
Unfortunately, things in the world are often like this. The more you look at what you are afraid of. This often happens. Shangguan Yunba was afraid that Yu Yaobai would have any tricks. Yu Yaobai was really ready for the trick.
Yu Yao slowly took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms.
"No, he wants to use poison. Stop him quickly!" Shangguan Yunba's face changed greatly when he saw this, and he knew very well about his high priest's ability. Although he didn't know what Yu Yaobai took out at this time, since his high priest used it at this time, it was definitely something that could influence the development of the situation.
Whether you understand this kind of thing or not, Shangguan Yunba can't tolerate the release of things in Yuyao's white bottle. Come and remind the internal guard eunuch immediately.
The mysterious spirit of the inner guards is based on speed. From the time they first appeared, almost no one in the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty could see their body clearly.
Now I have been reminded by Shangguan Yunba that these people have also raised their bodies to the limit. Dozens of internal guard masters closest to Yu Yaobai have almost turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When they looked at it again, they had come to Yu Yaobai's side.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast these internal defenders are, they are just purple after all. Compared with Yu Yaobai, their strength is really not worth mentioning.
Just when they came to Yuyaobai's side and wanted to use Xuanqi to stop Yuyaobai's action, Yuyaobai had already opened the porcelain bottle in his hand.
