Sick beauty he doesn't want to rot [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 25 Misunderstanding

"There are always some things... higher than others." Bian Miao repeated Chu Qing's words, and suddenly he laughed heartily.

Chu Qing waited patiently.

After Bian Xiang finished laughing, he let out a long sigh and said to Chu Qing, "Maybe I'm really old, and what I think and think is only the whole country of Chu. Compared with me, your mind is wider, and you care about it." It is the fate of everyone in the world, to be honest, I am really looking forward to what kind of prosperous world it will be if one day you can become the co-lord of the world."

"Missing Bian." Chu Qing thought that he was not as noble as what Bian Xiang said, and part of the reason he was willing to go was because he had a hole in his hand, and he didn't just go to die, and the severity of the plague was definitely worse than what Bian Xiang had experienced before. The common blights of the past were far worse.

"Since you have made up your mind, then I will try my best to fight for you this time. If possible, I will help you to ask for Shang Fang's sword. The people of He County, please." Bian Miao walked to Chu Qing's side , solemnly patted Chu Qing on the shoulder and said, "The most important thing is to protect yourself."

"Wait a minute." A low, hoarse voice came from outside the door.

Chu Qing knew immediately that it was Qin Wuzhou's voice.

Qin Wuzhou doesn't do his homework in the side room, so why come here to join in the fun?

When Bian Xiang heard Qin Wuzhou's voice, his demeanor increased steadily, majesty and shrewdness coexisted in his eyes.

"This is..." Prime Minister Bian's voice was playful.

Qin Wuzhou had already appeared in front of Chu Qing and Bian Miao.

Chu Qing reluctantly introduced to Bian Miao: "He is the proton of Qin State, Qin Wuzhou."

Qin Wuzhou saluted Bian Miao upright with no expression on his face, and met Bian Miao's scrutinizing eyes.

Contrary to Chu Qing's expectations, Bian Miao was not angry, he stroked his beard and nodded, and said to Chu Qing, "He's not bad, his killing intent is a bit strong, but he's a good seed if he's trained well."

Chu Qing couldn't help laughing, and added: "He can be regarded as my student."

Bian Miao joked, "No wonder, you two look alike."

Chu Qing smiled even more happily.

Qin Wuzhou stared at Chu Qing and asked, "Do you have to go?"

Standing aside, Bian Miao found that when Chu Qing answered Qin Wuzhou, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"You mean Hejun?" Chu Qing asked.

"Yes." Qin Wuzhou's expression was quite serious.

"I've made up my mind," Chu Qing said to Qin Wuzhou, "I guess I'm going to leave in the future, you stay in my mansion, don't go out..."

"Chu Qing," Qin Wuzhou interrupted, "I'll only ask you once."

"Aren't you really going to seek death?"

At the moment when Qin Wuzhou asked the question, Prime Minister Bian raised his eyebrows, a little surprise flashed in his eyes.

Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, what kind of misunderstanding Qin Wuzhou had towards him, he always felt that he wanted to die, he really didn't want to seek life or death.

"Absolutely not. I cherish my life more than anyone else. You think too much." Chu Qing didn't dare to look at Xiang Bian who was beside them and listening to their conversation.

"I'll go with you." Qin Wuzhou's tone was determined, not a discussion or question.

Chu Qing persuaded patiently: "The danger of He County is far beyond your imagination, the two governors are already dead..."

"Master Bian, are the symptoms of the patients in those two places covered with erythema, shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing, and exceptionally high fever?" Qin Wuzhou interrupted Chu Qing's words of admonition, and turned to ask Bian Miao.

Bian Miao made sure that he didn't mention the erythema all over his body when he talked to Chu Qing earlier, so he simply said, "It's true."

"I've experienced it," Qin Wuzhou said to Chu Qing and Bian Miao, "it's the plague."

"If we don't control it now, it will spread to half of Chu in just half a year, especially in areas with poor sanitation habits." Qin Wuzhou recalled the nightmare-like epidemic in his previous life. The epidemic he encountered under his control, In addition to the plague, more than ten.

In the last year of his rule, these diseases broke out inexplicably at the same time, except for the urban land under the management of the Lancang uprising army.

When Bian Miao heard this, she said to Chu Qing: "Take your apprentice with you, you can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him forever."

"Practice is the only criterion to test the truth." Seeing that Chu Qing was still hesitating, Qin Wuzhou used the knowledge he learned from Chu Qing to persuade Chu Qing.

Chu Qing reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay."

Bian Miao looked up at the moonlight, it was getting late, the conversation was over, and the person he wanted to see was met, it was time for him to go home.

"Fourth Prince, please take care of everything." After Bian Miao finished speaking, she said to Qin Wuzhou with deep meaning, "I hope you will recognize your true heart as soon as possible."

"It's getting late, don't send me off."

After Bian Miao finished speaking, she left Chu Qing's mansion and boarded the carriage back home.

"Why did you suddenly come to the living room?" Chu Qing turned his head and looked into Qin Wuzhou's eyes.

"Hand in the homework." Qin Wuzhou took out the blueprint he just finished.

Chu Qing took the blueprints and didn't rush to look at them. He said to Qin Wuzhou, "I promised you earlier that I would go out with you on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"But there is a dinner party in the palace that day, I try to come back as early as possible, how about we go to the lantern night market together?" Chu Qing was thinking, the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the lantern night market, there are many people, they follow the crowd to wear a mask, others can easily Can't recognize them.

"Okay." Qin Wuzhou thought for a while and added, "I'm looking forward to it."

"Then it's settled." Chu Qing began to look through Qin Wuzhou's drawings after speaking.

Qin Wuzhou saw that Chu Qing was engrossed, and the moonlight outside was dim, so he hurriedly went indoors to take out the oil lamp and put it on the stone table in the inner courtyard.

"What do you think here?" Chu Qing pointed to a ditch and asked.

"This place is close to fields, and the river county lacks water. If ditches can be dug, it will be convenient to develop a mulberry fish pond model for recuperation." Qin Wuzhou explained.

"Good," Chu Qing went on to explain, "Mulberry-based fish ponds are a production and management model that combines planting mulberry and raising silkworms with pond fish farming. The mode of agricultural production..."【1】

Qin Wuzhou listened very carefully. Next, what he learned would be used to benefit the people's livelihood. It seemed that a grand picture was slowly unfolding in front of him.

……

The next day, because the morning court was going to be held that day, Chu Qing was awakened again at Yinshi.

When standing in the court hall, Chu Qing was expressionless, but she missed her bed very much.

The prince is still confined in the palace, but the current king of Chu has no energy left to trouble Chu Qing, because the princelings in the court have already been linked together.

Hubu Shangshu stood up with his finger on the wat board and said: "I have something to play."

The King of Chu supported his head with one hand, and waved the other hand, signaling to the Minister of the Household Department to speak quickly and fart quickly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of Chu and the future of Chu. I implore Your Majesty to return the Crown Prince to freedom." The Minister of the Household Department bowed down, looking full of sincerity.

Chu Qing thought about the words of the Minister of the Household Department, it was obvious that the princelings had already had a showdown with the king of Chu, and if they said this, they would forcefully protect the prince.

Then Hubu Shangshu's words were like a beacon, and countless officials stood up after him.

There are those from the Ministry of Rites and those from the Ministry of Officials...

There are official positions from the first rank to the fourth rank, accounting for half of the officials in the court.

Bian Miao stood where he was, and the old god was watching the farce in front of him.

King Chu's breathing became more and more rapid. He patted the armrest of the dragon chair vigorously, then pointed at the courtiers and said, "Do you really think that I won't kill you?"

The bowed courtiers were indifferent, as if they were silently resisting the ruler of the country who was gradually losing control of the country on the dragon chair.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, it was the herald.

"Report...report..." The herald was out of breath, and the clothes on his body were extremely dirty.

A sudden accident interrupted the stalemate in the court, and the king of Chu focused his attention on this abnormal herald.

"The two assassins...are dead." The herald knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

King Chu's face changed, and Chu Qing saw fear on his face.

"Why did the governor die?" King Chu barely maintained his composure.

The herald was tearful, and he said to the King of Chu, "The two adults were immediately infected with the plague as soon as they arrived in He County, and died within two days."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

Fear inevitably permeated the crowd, even if the most powerful people in the Chu Kingdom stood here, no one could gain privileges in the face of natural disasters.

Chu Qing carefully observed King Chu's reaction. After hearing the news, King Chu heaved a sigh of relief, but then he thought that He County was not far from the capital, so he started to get scared.

"The widow knows, you go down first, so you can rest." Chu Wang pretended to be calm, and gave the chief supervisor beside him a wink.

Immediately a guard took the man down.

"Right now, Hejun is suffering from drought and a disease is breaking out. Who is willing to go there to quell the disaster?" King Chu could hardly sit still. The disease could kill people in just two days. If it is infected by the epidemic, it is over.

All the courtiers who asked the king of Chu for orders just now returned to their original positions. They all lowered their heads like quails, completely losing their fighting spirit and determination just now.

The King of Chu waited for a while, and asked: "Shangshu Zhou, didn't you just want to protect the crown prince? The widow gave you this opportunity. If you are willing to go to He County to quell the disaster, the widow will let the prince go. How about it?"

"I can only deal with gold and stone accounts," Zhou Shangshu said quite sincerely, "Even if His Majesty throws me over, I can't do anything, it's just an extra life, and this treasury..."

Chu Qing sighed in her heart, she said it soundly, but she just didn't want to go.

The King of Chu didn't tangle with him, turned his head and asked, "Ma Taifu?"

"I am good at revising bibliographies and compiling historical records, but I have nothing to do with disaster relief. Your Majesty should find another master." Ma Taifu lowered his head, speaking decisively.

The king of Chu asked a few more people, and the answers were not much different from those of Zhou Shangshu and Ma Taifu.

Chu Qing made a conclusion, that is, it is because I am not good enough, it is because I do not have the ability in this area.

The King of Chu looked at the ministers in the court with an excited tone.

"If you don't go, do you want others to go? In such a big court, no one is willing to go to the disaster relief?"

There was another silence in the hall.

The King of Chu started to smash the pots and smashed them, and he said to the courtiers: "It's okay if you don't go. Next, I'll ask one, whoever doesn't go, will be downgraded directly to the third rank."

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."

……

The King of Chu wished he could take a sword and kill these rebels on the spot.

The court hall was in chaos, Chu Qing even thought it was ridiculous.

Bian Miao noticed that the fire was almost ready.

In the main hall, an old and majestic voice sounded, and everyone stopped.

"Your Majesty." Bian Miao paused, and he turned his head to look at the courtiers. Although Prime Minister Bian was almost ignored after King Chu ascended the throne, when he really wanted to say something, the courtiers listened attentively.

Chu Qing recalled that in the original book, it was written that the former emperor and Bian Xiang had struggled for decades to create a strong and prosperous state of Chu, and now he can vaguely see the scene of the prosperity of the state of Chu from the back of the nearly ancient old man.

"You are all useless." The king of Chu lost his mind completely. "Do you want an old man who has dedicated more than 50 years for the Chu country to go to the disaster relief?"

The hall fell into an unspeakable silence again.

"I want to recommend someone." Prime Minister Bian was not influenced by King Chu.

"Who is it?" King Chu's eyes lit up a little.

"The fourth prince of Chu, Chu Qing." Bian Miao's words were resounding.

Chu Qing held the ivory wat in his hand, and took a step to the side. The prince's robe was complicated and gorgeous, but it made him look extraordinarily elegant. He said, "I am willing to go."

Everyone in the court hall looked at the sickly young man. Chu Qing's questioning in the court hall last time seemed to still echo today—"What can you do for Da Chu?"

The plaque above the head that says "For the country and the people" is like an invisible weight, pressing on the chests of the courtiers, making them breathless.

"The fourth prince is worthy of being the prince of Da Chu. He is really a role model for Da Chu. I am willing to go to Hejun with the fourth prince." Cheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Engineering took a step to the side and said to the king of Chu.

Then two other officials came out and expressed their willingness to follow Chu Qing to He County to the King of Chu.

The King of Chu didn't speak, he looked at Chu Qing with complex eyes, it was really ironic, his own son was arrogant like a lunatic, and the other only wanted the position of King Chu, but it was his elder brother's child with great love in his heart .

"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Bian continued, "The situation in He County is special, and the fourth prince's body is precious. I implore His Majesty to allocate two thousand imperial guards to protect the safety of the fourth prince. In addition, in order to prevent local officials from rebelliously disobeying orders, please His Majesty grants Shang Fang the sword."

Compared with ordinary soldiers, the imperial guards of the king of Chu are better equipped and better drilled. They are elite soldiers, with a number of about 3 soldiers.

The amount proposed by Bian Miao was more measured, which made the king of Chu think it was acceptable, but in fact it was quite a lot.

The king of Chu refused very readily, and he said directly: "No, all the five hundred imperial guards guarding the prince can be allocated to Chu Qing, and no one else can increase it. The imperial guards should not be less than thirty thousand. This is the ancestral rule. .”

"Besides the pawns, if you have any requirements, just ask." The king of Chu showed unprecedented generosity.

Chu Qing said to King Chu: "Besides, I need supplies, gauze, corn, firewood, etc. In addition, I also need to call some doctors in the city. It would be great if there is an imperial doctor willing to go together."

"Sure." The King of Chu seemed a little tired of the court, "What else do you need? Discuss with the Ministry of Households and buy it with money. If he disagrees, don't be the Minister of the Ministry of Households."

"Let's go back if there is nothing to do."

Chu Qing took the carriage back to the mansion, the servants were extremely busy, and Steward Peng was counting the salutes that needed to be brought.

"Keep everything simple." Chu Qing said to Guanshi Peng.

"Yes." Steward Peng took the order and was about to leave when Chu Qing stopped him.

"Wait a minute," Chu Qing asked, "Is there any men's clothing in the mansion, the size is bigger than mine, and the materials need to be better."

Guanshi Peng thought for a while, and immediately came to his senses, and asked tentatively, "Is it for the son in your room?"

Chu Qing looked at Guanshi Peng's cautious eyes, and wanted to cry, but his relationship with Qin Wuzhou was so easily misunderstood?

"Yes." Chu Qing originally wanted to explain, but thinking of this kind of thing, the explanation would be more likely to be misunderstood, so it's better not to say anything.

"There is none in the mansion, I will order someone to buy it immediately," Guanshi Peng asked, "Master, what color and style does the young master like?"

Chu Qing recalled that in the original book, Qin Wuzhou liked to wear black clothes the most, so he said to Guanshi Peng, "Black or black, the style should be more atmospheric. Work hard for Guanshi Peng."

"Yes." Guanshi Peng became more and more certain about the relationship between Chu Qing and Qin Wuzhou, "I'll buy the little one."

Standing under the eaves with a book in his hand, Qin Wuzhou could hear clearly what Chu Qing and Guan Shi had said just now, why didn't Chu Qing clear up the misunderstanding with the manager, instead he made the mistake and endured it, could it be that Chu Qing... likes himself?
