The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Before Princess Chu could cry with joy, she heard from her servants that Jiangzhou City was besieged by refugees.

The palace was fine. Three thousand soldiers of King Chu were guarding the palace, but the city of Jiangzhou was already in chaos.

Ling Changshi and others knelt down as soon as they entered the main room: "Your Highness, the epidemic has spread in Huizhou, Yangzhou and other places. Now refugees are flocking to Jiangzhou. Chen Shoubei has already invited you three times."

Of course, I want to ask the King of Chu what to do with these refugees.

Shoot?What if there is greater public outrage?
If they are not shot and killed, these refugees will surround Jiangzhou. Within a few months, Jiangzhou will be self-defeating, not to mention that there is now some chaos in Jiangzhou city.

It turns out that the continuous gloom in the Jiangnan area lasted for more than four months, and it was already the end of June when the sky completely cleared up.

Tens of thousands of people in the area south of the Yangtze River starved to death, drowned, and fought to grab a little food.

The surviving people are all hoping that the rain will stop and they can go home again.

After all, not all people can go to the capital at all costs.

However, as if God really didn't want them to live, the heavy rain continued until mid-June when the desperate refugees finally turned into thugs.

The first one to suffer was Huizhou. There was no king of Chu in Huizhou, and the number of city defenders was insufficient. However, in just a few days, the people inside and outside the city jointly broke open the city gate. The first to suffer was the mansion of the prefect of Huizhou. , followed by wealthy businessmen from Huizhou.

By the time the news reached Jiangzhou, more than five days had passed since the Huizhou riots, and at this time, the rain in the Jiangnan area had finally subsided.

The King of Chu naturally did not pay attention to the Huizhou riots. On the surface, he had three thousand guards, as well as a thousand city defenders and government offices, but secretly, the Jiangnan Navy was his people!
The Huizhou riot lasted only half a month before it was suppressed by Gu Yufan with particularly tough methods.

But at this time, the King of Chu was also a little confused. How long had it been? Why hadn't news of the disaster relief in the capital come yet?
He wrote to the emperor again, stating that there was a riot in Huizhou and asking the emperor to send people to provide disaster relief.

But before the disaster relief personnel from the imperial court arrived, the plague broke out in Huizhou.

After the flood ended, more and more corpses were exposed. In addition, there had been riots in Huizhou before, and corpses were everywhere. The disease quickly spread.

The temporary prefect in Huizhou City was one of Gu Yufan's staff. He originally thought he could make a fortune by coming here, but he didn't expect that an epidemic would break out just after arriving in Huizhou.

The staff knew that if the epidemic was allowed to spread to Jiangzhou, even if they did not suffer from the epidemic, they would be beheaded by His Majesty the King of Chu on the spot.

He made a prompt decision and summoned the government officials and others to seal off Huizhou City. At the same time, he searched for all the corpses in Huizhou City and burned them on the spot. He asked the doctors of Huizhou City to search each house one by one. , the whole family was arrested and sealed in a villa outside the city.

The staff can be regarded as a man of real ability. After a series of tough measures, Huizhou City fell into a short period of calm. Then he quickly wrote a letter of resignation to the King of Chu, telling the King of Chu about the epidemic in Huizhou, and asking the King of Chu to pay more attention. Be on guard.

What the staff did not expect was that the refugees from the epidemic area broke through the blockade overnight and not only reoccupied Huizhou, but also captured Yangzhou and other places. Death hung over these two cities.

No matter whether they are sick or not, they don't want to die, so Jiangzhou becomes their next place to attack.However, at this time, Gu Yufan had no time to pay attention to this. Instead, he handed over the secret letter he had received before and said in a hoarse voice: "You all should take a look at this."

After Ling Changshi read the contents of the secret letter, he stood up in shock: "Your Highness, are the contents of this secret letter true?"

King Chu looked over coldly: "Do you think I would use this kind of thing to joke with you?"

Ling Changshi shook his head. Of course His Highness would not joke about such a thing, but it was precisely because of this that he felt scared!
He had previously disagreed with His Highness letting these refugees go north to make trouble in the capital, because there were too many of them. Once discovered, His Highness would be unable to conceal the floods in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not only that, the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to replace the navy general.

But the prince insisted on going his own way and asked people to open the door of convenience and send thousands of refugees to the capital, just to allow these refugees to enter the capital...

But His Highness did not even think about what kind of place the capital was, and what kind of climate it could have with just a few thousand refugees.

When the emperor takes care of the refugees, the first people who cannot be spared are the prefects of the cities from Jiangnan to the capital!
If the prince's plan succeeds, then they will rise up and lead the navy all the way north.

But now the prince's plan not only failed, but the emperor sent an army, so much food and money to Mobei.

When the others saw Ling Changshi like this, they hurriedly took the secret letter and read it carefully. A look of horror appeared on everyone's face.

The more timid ones simply collapsed on the ground.

Now that the refugees have been dealt with, should the Emperor deal with them next?

King Chu glanced at these aides, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes: "I am not dead yet, who am I showing to you now with a mournful face?"

He and Gu Yuchen had been fighting to the death for a long time. This time they just gave him a small handle. Gu Yuchen didn't dare to do anything to him!
The King of Chu was extremely confident about this. He was so angry that Gu Yuchen, that dog, dared to send all his people to Lao Liu!
"The letter said that the imperial ministers sent by the emperor and the relief food money are expected to arrive here in more than a month. During this time, I will try to find a way to settle down Huizhou. I must entertain these people well and let them come well." Get out of here!"

Ling Changshi had a cold sweat on his forehead. Hearing King Chu's confident words, he closed his eyes without leaving a trace and whispered to dissuade: "I'm afraid, Your Highness. You have been unconscious for two days. Huizhou and Yangzhou have been completely occupied. Now the people in Jiangnan have fallen." Knowing that you are in Jiangzhou, refugees have already surrounded Jiangzhou."

"What?" King Chu angrily opened the quilt and walked off. Unexpectedly, his body had not eaten for several days, and he woke up so violently that his vision went dark and he almost fell down again.

Ling Changshi quickly helped him sit down again with quick eyes and hands: "Your Highness, you must take care of yourself!"

In just a few days, His Highness the King of Chu has changed from the high-spirited prince to what he is now. He always feels that the situation in the King of Chu's palace is over.

However, it is not to blame the King of Chu. After the new emperor ascended the throne, a series of things he did were unpredictable. His Highness, the King of Chu, acted as arrogantly as before. If this continues, they will only become more and more passive!
