Chapter 103

Xinghu Navy got the order from the military headquarters and began to go upstream to Yingzhou lake.

Zhao Qijue stood still in the bow for a long time before she said to the old man around her, "teacher, is the current situation related to you?"

The old man smiled without saying a word.

Zhao Qijue asked again, "should the teacher make arrangements for the future?"

This time, the old man answered softly, "I have sent a letter to the Wuzhou clan in the name of your highness!"

Seeing that Zhao Qijue didn't speak, the old man continued: "the Wuzhou clan has taken the first step, and there is no chance to look back. They will know how to make a choice is accurate! In the handling of this matter, they must be decisive and decisive. If they don't hold their key, they won't be really obedient!"

Zhao Qijue still didn't speak! The old man saw his frown, smiled and said, "no matter how big the loss is, you can slowly make up for it. However, once the opportunity is missed, there may not be another opportunity. The so-called unbreakable, some deep-rooted things are difficult to reshape a new look without smashing it! Your highness, sometimes you can't be too kind!"

Zhao Qijue sighed and nodded: "what the teacher said is not wrong!"

The old man stroked his beard on his forehead, meditated a little, and then said, "the news said that the man didn't stay in Wuzhou Prefecture at all, but went to TongZhou at one go. I didn't expect that he had no other skills, and the speed of escape was really not slow. But I've arranged something, your highness, don't worry!"

Zhao Qijue seemed to be tangled for a long time before she whispered, "are you sure?"

"It shouldn't be a problem!"

After reading the secret letter in his hand, Zhao Qixuan scolded himself: "I didn't expect the situation to be so serious. I'm careless!"

Shi Zhen asked softly, "do you want to be comprehensive about the king of Yingzhou lake?"

Zhao Qixuan frowned and didn't answer immediately. Shi Zhen said again, "I'm afraid I can't hide the dike break in Mingzhou!"

"Oh?"

"Our people found Cao Yi's figure in Wuzhou Prefecture."

"Cao Yi?"

Without realizing it, Zhao Qixuan thought of the person who hated. I don't know why, this "hatred" will increase by one point every day. Without his news, I feel like I'm missing something, but with his news, I feel different!

She has a natural memory. All secret letters are destroyed once and for all. But no one knew that she had read the secret letter about the Hezhou double meeting three times, but she didn't burn it! She had three unburned secret letters about him.

"Your Highness!"

Shi Zhen gently awakened the distracted Princess Linglang. Zhao Qixuan said "Oh" and whispered, "Cao Yi is trapped in Wuzhou, too?"

"Yes, our people found his whereabouts by chance!"

"Well, he was ordered by his father to check some things in the southwest. It's not surprising that people appear in Wuzhou!"

"Your Highness, my subordinates think that with Cao Yi's temperament, we can't guarantee that we won't investigate Mingzhou. Just in case, should we take advantage of the chaos..."

"No!"

Although Shi Zhen didn't understand why the princess wanted to let Cao Yi go, he felt that this was a good opportunity to hide evidence for Zhao Qirui and get rid of the important officials of the standing queen. It was a stroke of killing two birds with one stone. But the princess didn't allow it, so she didn't say anything more.

Zhao Qixuan changed the subject at this time.

"First find a way to find out the situation of those clans. I think there must be a problem!"

Shi Xuan nodded to show understanding.

"Also, why hasn't the pilgrimage hall been quiet about the refugees? Aren't you aware of the possible serious consequences?"

"According to previous news, the number of refugees received by chaotang is 100000, so I didn't pay attention to it!"

"But our people provided the news that it was nearly a million! Why did the numbers differ so much?"

Zhao Qixuan had an uncontrollable anger in her heart, but she didn't want to understand what the problem was.

"Check it out and see what the problem is?"

"Well, now almost all the refugees are squeezed in Suzhou and Huizhou. If chaotang has no specific measures and will for a long time, I'm afraid..."

"Write to chaotang immediately and report the real situation! In addition, call me the rich and powerful families in Yingzhou! The sooner the better! Let's go to Yingzhou now and call Jin Laoyou together!"

Seeing that the last boat was about to be full, plus the other party raised the stick fiercely and began to drive the crowded crowd. Finally, there were unwilling refugees who couldn't stand the suffering of inner fear and shouted hysterically: "everyone has no way to live! Grab the boat!"

When in despair, the instinct of self survival will be unstoppable and occupy all the consciousness of behavior! In my eyes, I only see that the ship is the last hope. The so-called humility and the so-called legal principle of order have been squeezed out of my body by the desire to survive! Hunger, fear, helplessness, let those who can't get on the boat, the tight string in their hearts, completely break in that scream!

The instant impact of the refugees pushed the defensive crowd back. Zhang Zhou pulled out his knife and shouted angrily!

"The troublemaker will be killed!"

The prisoners had long been nervous and depressed. Hearing the order, after a short hesitation, they pulled out their knives and waved to the refugees who screamed and rushed frantically

Suddenly, there were screams and blood light. The refugees in front saw the sad situation of waving knives and floating blood. In panic, they instinctively began to retreat, while the people behind continued to crowd forward! For a moment, the scene was chaotic, and screams and angry curses tore the sky.

After all, refugees are refugees. They are soon passive in the heart killing arrest and the dispersion of the gang! But in the process of violent driving and chaotic trampling, nearly 200 people were directly killed and injured!

Facing the vast lake, Zhang Zhou turned his back to the reporter and said faintly, "if the injured can be saved, try to save as much as possible. As for the dead, find a place to bury them at the dock!"

The dock is finally quiet again! Zhang Zhou couldn't shake it in his mind. A child was pushed down and disappeared under his eyes. His shoulders twitched and tears rained down!

He's blaming himself for not being able to control the situation! Although he knew he was not an immortal and could not save everyone, this guilt was hard to wave away!

Yang Xiaolang was in tears, but he didn't know how to comfort his adults. Those feijiao gang members and Suzhou criminal arrest saw all this, and there were waves in his heart!

A feijiao Gang man, who knew the inside story because he was around, blushed and fell on his knees.

"Your Excellency, you have done your best!"

Then kneel down behind you! Zhang Zhou looked back and saw these people. He picked up the leading man and choked: "get up! You did a good job today! I Zhang Zhou didn't handle it well and couldn't stand your worship! It's hard for you! The situation is critical, and I hope you can stick to it! Saving one more person is boundless merit! Zhang Zhou is incompetent, but he will never live up to your efforts!"

"May I serve you!"

Everyone bow down and take orders!

The next day, the first fleet of Hezhou water transportation arrived. According to the leader's report, forty ships came this time! Qu thirteen had also arrived with the ship, but he met Feizi on the way. After getting a new order, he returned directly to Hezhou and began to enlist ships.

In the latest situation, the coastal state capitals such as Kyoto and Texas have explicitly refused the entry of refugees, so yesterday's fleet can only go all the way north to Hezhou.

According to the existing conditions, it will take more than ten days to board the road at the nearest place in Hezhou.

More than 100 boats have been dispatched from all over Lianhua Lake, and up to 10000 people can be transported away today! But for the refugees gathered in Suzhou, the lake is a drop in the bucket! If the first fleet returns, I'm afraid it's too late!

Order the leader to take another order back and find a way to recruit and rent all private ships! Carry grain to the South and transport people to the North! Yesterday, he didn't think of transporting grain to the south. He didn't think about it well. Now he can only make up for it as much as possible!

He would never believe that the rich southern ten states could only levy so many ships! At least so far, no boat has been seen! It's time to settle accounts after autumn!

He invited Qiu Jun to the wharf to preside over it! I asked Hu to cross the sea, contacted Lianhua island and the surrounding large families, convened in the name of King Ping, and I was ready to meet these people in person.

In advance, he has to go to a place, the great Jianghu sect in Suzhou: dachuyun temple!

Dachuyun temple is located in dachuyun mountain 20 miles west of Suzhou mansion. It has a history of hundreds of years. After the founding of the people's Republic of Tang Dynasty, it was granted the name of Datang temple! The monarchs of all dynasties, the Holy Family and the prosperity of grace are incomparable to all sects in the world!

Over the past few hundred years, dachuyun temple has cultivated countless eminent monks and virtues. Now the most famous in the Jianghu is the three masters of dachuyun Temple: Master Kong Jian, who is granted the title of national teacher; The Tathagata with a big belly is empty and bright. Its martial arts are unfathomable. It is one of the four great martial arts masters in the world; Master Kong Che, known as the first Zen in the world! There is also one of the greatest figures, the abbot who has been closed for several years, asked the master.

Zhang Zhou has no mind to study its history, nor is he in the mood to watch the scenery of dachuyun temple. There are walking corpses everywhere. There is no good plan. Soon there will be corpses everywhere!

There are so many refugees in dachuyun temple that you can't see the edge at a glance! More than a dozen large pots outside the temple raised hot smoke and gave porridge to the refugees who could not see the end of the line! Countless monks shuttle among the refugees to deal with various matters.

He was received by a church head. If Zhang Zhou didn't have the identity of a marquis, his rank would not be enough to see in front of dachuyun temple.

"Lord Hou, it has been ten days since dachuyun Temple opened a porridge factory. I see more and more refugees gathering and less and less food! I'm afraid..."

Zhang Zhou naturally understood what the monk meant! But he didn't come to ask for food. He said bluntly, "Buddha is merciful and can save countless lives! Zhang Zhou came here today, not asking for food, but hoping to see the host and discuss important matters. I hope the master can recommend me!"

Fortunately, the identity of the Duke of Jiuzhou in the Tang Dynasty can still play some role in such an emergency. The headmaster thought for a moment and nodded.

"Now Zen Master Kong Che is in charge of the temple. I'll take the Marquis right now!"

Zhang Zhou thanked and followed the monk into the back mountain of the temple! The refugees are blocked outside the temple, and the back mountain can't get in!

After walking through the three temple gates and taking a long step, I came to Master Kong Che's residence built on the hillside! Zhang Zhou's heart has been dissatisfied. It doesn't matter whether he practices or not. What are you doing here in such an emergency? Chanting? Zen? Or pray for Buddha?

But anger dare not float on the surface! After all, it's good to see Master Kong Che smoothly. What he doesn't want to waste now is time, and he doesn't dare to delay things with emotion.

Empty Che's appearance of 60 or 70 years old, slightly thin, two long snow-white eyebrows almost drop to the corners of his mouth! Have the appearance of profound virtue!

"I don't know why you came to dachuyun temple, benefactor?"

"Master, now there are nearly one million refugees in Suzhou and Huizhou, and they are still gathering and increasing! It will take some time for chaotang's food for disaster relief to arrive. If you wait, there will be chaos sooner or later! I hope dachaoyun temple will help millions of people and alleviate the deterioration of the situation!"

"My Buddha is merciful! When there is an unexpected disaster from heaven, the sin affects all living beings. Naturally, monks will not ignore it! Dachaoyun temple has opened a porridge factory to provide relief to the victims, and some Buddhist disciples preach Buddhism to the hungry..."

If you can, Zhang Zhou really wants to kick him in the face. He scolds in his heart. When is it, can you stop being wordy! What kind of official accent do you play with me! Unexpectedly, his mind was like being captured by Kong Che. As soon as he stopped talking, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhou with a smile! Then he smiled and asked, "donor, do you believe in cause and effect?"

Zhang Zhou was excited by his insight into everything just now, and returned to God with an "ah".

Kong Che continued: "some things can't form a" cause "early, and you can't see a" fruit "late. In fact, it's life!"

Zhang Zhou nodded, but did not answer!

"It's not that dachaoyun Temple refuses to save, but that we can't change the" cause "! It's difficult to achieve the" result "!"

Zhang Zhou didn't know what he wanted to say, but psychologically he didn't dare to do it again!

Seeing Kong Che struggling to get up from the futon, Zhang Zhou hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him. Kong Che said thanks. After standing still, he motioned Zhang Zhou not to continue to help, and then said, "the Buddha said that all living beings can live in the world, but how can we get through it? When you are very hungry, the Buddha can't give you food, and when you are dying, the Buddha can't renew your life! What's the use of Buddha?"

Zhang Zhou didn't expect the old monk to be so rebellious! Even more speechless!

"Hehe, you don't have to feel that I'm rebellious! I just want to tell the benefactor and the world that Buddha is not charity! I can't solve all the suffering, but I hope to wake up more people's original good thoughts!"

Zhang Zhou thought for a while and said tentatively, "does the master mean not to save people, but to grasp the opportunity to save people, so that the people who are given can know that kindness is hard won?"

Kongche was noncommittal and said with a smile, "I already know what you asked! If you want those big families to take out the food at the beginning, it will only make the recipient more greedy! This is not good for the giver or the recipient! Now that the donor is here, it must be a good time! I will send my disciples to lobby those big families around to open their warehouses and give food to the victims!"

After empty Che's words, he suddenly put his hands together and gave Zhang Zhou a big gift, which startled Zhang Zhou!

"Master, why is this?"

"Why not! This gift is the cause between you and me. It will bear fruit in the future!"

Zhang Zhou secretly scolded, "who has cause and effect with you! How can you be like a divine stick!"

I don't want to empty Che to look at him again and laugh again. It really scared Zhang Zhou!

"There are many things, not only the benefactor doesn't believe, but also the poor monk! But if you don't believe, it doesn't mean it won't happen! Don't worry, I don't count people's life and death, I don't know the secret of heaven, and I'm not the magic stick that the benefactor thinks! Ha ha!"

After that, he seemed to walk out of the house slowly, but in the twinkling of an eye, there was no trace, leaving only one sentence.

"I hope chaotang will not delay too long, otherwise the immortal will have no power to recover!"

Zhang Zhou couldn't help pinching his thigh. Is it a ghost!

People in this era believe in Buddhism and cause and effect. At present, many large families, villages and ethnic groups in Suzhou strictly guard against self-defense. If you forcibly collect grain, the first person is not enough, and the second family may not listen to you, but the monks are different. In persuading the people's Congress to do good, the role of a monk is worth a hundred criminal arrests!

Zhang Zhou didn't expect too much, but tried to delay the time of the vagrant upheaval! It seems that dachuyun temple has already made arrangements. It's just waiting for the opportunity!

When to stand out and be a good person, timing is very important.
