Chapter 61 Cotton
On the second day, the people at the gate of Zhizhou stood in a big crowd, all blocking the gate, asking Prince Rui to give an explanation.

The air pressure in Zhizhou Yamen is low.

"Say it! What kind of talk! A group of thugs!" Li Xu was trembling with anger: "Put them all under arrest! Let's see who dares to make mistakes!"

Shen Qiu was frightened and said: "Your Highness, no! The law does not blame the people, if they are all locked up, the people's anger will really be unstoppable!"

Prince Rui thought about the refugee area that had been separated, people were dying every day and were being burned, and even the ashes after death had to be buried deep in the ground to be safe.

His scalp began to tingle, and he said, "Then what do you say!"

Shen Qiu didn't know what to do, he thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Your Highness, why don't you ask Mr. Xu what he thinks."

Xu Jue?

When Li Xu thought that he was sent by his father to monitor him, he felt that his face was not his face, and his face was not his face.

Shen Qiu saw his hesitation, and couldn't help persuading: "Your Highness, the most important thing is to stabilize the internal and external affairs of Dangzhou right now!"

Li Xu was sitting on a chair, and the angry voices of the people could be faintly heard outside. After a while, he stood up abruptly and said, "Where are the others?"

"Xu Shizi is in the back hall."

Li Xu turned to the back hall.He hurriedly walked around, and finally found Xu Jue after going around in a circle.

Under the scorching sun, he was sitting on a rattan chair and taking a rest with his eyes closed.

Seeing this scene, Li Xu couldn't help feeling angry, but he had something to ask for, so he pressed back forcefully, stepped forward and said, "Xu Shizi."

Xu Jue opened half of one eye, closed it again, and said, "Your Highness."

Li Xu got straight to the point and said: "Xu Shizi, the city is in chaos now, and I am also anxious. I would like to ask you what advice you have?"

Xu Jue made a slow movement and opened his eyes.

Li Xu always felt that there was narrowness in his eyes, and he said: "Your Highness asked my opinion? Your Highness didn't ask my opinion when you detained Zhu Hongyuan, and your Highness didn't ask my opinion when you detained the troublemakers. If you can’t stop, come to me? Heh.”

Li Xu was enraged by his gun and stick, and became annoyed: "Xu Jue, you are presumptuous!"

The temper that had been suppressed these days was picked up by him in a few words: "How dare you talk to me like that?"

Xu Jue looked at him calmly.

In the silent stares, Li Xu gradually felt inexplicable frustration. He opened his mouth to say something, Xu Jue suddenly smiled indifferently, his eyes were indifferent, and said: "Showing power in front of me? Your Highness, you should know my temperament best Yes, this is not a good behavior."

Li Xu's face was gloomy.

Of course he knew what kind of person Xu Jue was.

Xu Jue's glory was not bestowed by the royal family, but earned by himself.

If the children of the aristocratic family have experienced hundreds of battles at such a young age and are invincible, I am afraid that they will step on the prince's head.

He is the eldest son of the Xu family, the future king of Dingbei, the object that the next king should rely on the most, and also the object that he fears the most.

Li Xu is a prince, his face has lost his face. He knows his current situation. His father sent him to Sanzhou to make him pay for his merits. If things go wrong again, then what else does he have to follow? fight?
He suppressed his anger, and said in a soft tone, "Forgive me, my lord, I am also very anxious. There are chaos in the city right now, please help me through this difficult time."

Xu Jue stood up and said, "It's not difficult to say, Your Highness only needs to do two things well."

Li Xu looked at him and said, "Which two things?"

Xu Jue said: "The first thing is to resettle the refugees you brought into the city, including curbing the spread of the disease and diagnosing and treating them. The second thing is to release Zhu Hongyuan."

Li Xu said: "I can understand the first thing the son said, but this second thing..."

"Currently the city is in chaos. Although Zhu Hongyuan doesn't agree with His Highness, he is an upright official. It is most appropriate to have him to protect the peace in the city. First, it can prevent the chaos from taking advantage of the chaos, and second, it can appease the hearts of the people. In the eyes of the people, he is still a good person." Nice officer."

Li Xu pondered for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Ming Yi looked at Li Xu who was walking away, and said: "My lord, it seems that Prince Rui is not as wise as the rumors say, why can't he even think of these things?"

Xu Jue glanced at him, and said: "Sounds simple, but he is eager to advance aggressively, so it's not surprising that the two sons of the emperor are not smart, but there are many capable people under Prince Rui's family, and they have saved a lot for him. Good reputation, among these princes, the smartest..."

Xu Jue paused when he thought of something.

Ming said: "Fifth Prince?"

Xu Jue shook his head: "The fifth prince is smart, but his temper is still young, so he is not a match for the two of them."

Mingyi thought for a while and said, "Could it be that what the young master said is..."

"Yun Zhao." After Xu Jue finished speaking, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Yun Zhao was able to sit on the position of servant by himself at a young age, and according to the current situation, when he came back from Dianyang's office this trip, it might be another to go up again."

Ming was taken aback: "Still promoted? He has been promoted twice this year."

"Not enough." Xu Jue said: "Yun Zhao is now valued by him, the emperor has other thoughts, promotion is the second priority, I'm afraid he wants to return him to the royal family."

Ming Yi was shocked and speechless for a moment.

"If it were someone else, they might not be able to stop Youyou's voice, but Yun Zhao's ability is outstanding, not to mention Jiangling, even in Li country, he is a top-notch figure."

Ming said: "Young Master praises him very much."

Xu Jue was silent for a while, and said, "Her eyesight is never bad."

Ming Yi is only sixteen this year, he is still young, he doesn't understand his words, he thought for a while, and said: "Yun Zhao puts such a good girl as a concubine, and accepts a vulgar and narrow-minded Qi Feiyan as a concubine, is this considered good vision?"

Xu Jue looked at him up and down, then reached out and touched his head, sighed, shook his head and went into the room.

Ming was at a loss as to what to make of his mind, and murmured: "Is there something wrong with what I said..."

Prince Rui personally went to the government office prison, invited Zhu Hongyuan out of the prison, and went out through the side door with his entourage, to consult the doctors in the city about the cure for the disease.

Although Prince Rui is not smart enough, he has one advantage, that is, he can listen to advice.

Although Zhu Hongyuan was dissatisfied with him, his duty was to still lead the soldiers to guard the city safely.

Li Xu was really desperate, so he went out of the refugee camp in full gear, walked around, and told him, "Don't let them starve and freeze."

After speaking, he ran to the hospital again.

When the news came, Gu Mingzhu was stunned: "You said that Li Xu stayed in the hospital regardless of the people making trouble at the gate of Zhizhou?"

"Yes."

Gu Mingzhu stood up and remained silent.

When Yueyan entered the room, he saw such a strange situation.

She glanced left and right and said, "What's the matter?"

Chunyan told the story again.

Yue Yan was also silent after listening, and after a while, said: "This idea doesn't seem like he can come up with it."

Gu Mingzhu smiled, but she was not very happy looking at it: "It's really not something he can think of. With Zhu Hongyuan's temperament, even if the grievances die, he can still tell which is more important. With him in Dangzhou, he will Can't make too much trouble."

Yue Yan said quietly: "He may have guessed that there is something different among the people at the gate of Zhizhou, knowing that Prince Rui is having a hard time talking about it, so he simply ignores it, and first controls the epidemic. Once the epidemic subsides, the refugees are gone. Naturally retreat, all problems will be solved, and also won a reputation of benevolence, four or two pull a thousand catties, really powerful..."

Yueyan looked at Gu Mingzhu, saw her meditating silently, and said, "Miss."

"Say."

"How to do it? Otherwise, we will set fire to the refugee camp..."

Gu Mingzhu raised her head suddenly, and Yueyan's voice stopped abruptly.

Gu Mingzhu endured it, and then said: "Don't say such things in the future!"

Yueyan lowered his head: "Yes."

She thought for a while, and then said: "Since Miss is unwilling to use this method, then we can only use Han Shuo's side and wait for the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos."

This is the only way right now.

The spring banquet is out.

Gu Mingzhu just looked at her and said: "I know this is a good way. Once the refugee camp is destroyed, there will be riots in the city. At that time, no matter what you do, you will not be able to save Li Xu's life. But Yueyan, you are so smart, you should know that. The consequences of doing so, once the refugees flee, Dangzhou will become a plague city, and tens of thousands of people will die at that time, although I hate the court, I can't treat the lives of these people like ants."

Yueyan said: "It's my fault, I'll go with the Spring Banquet."

She turned her head and went out to catch up with the spring banquet.
