Chapter 57: The Gengzi Rebellion in the Past Life

Yun Ke also woke up on the fourth day. When he woke up, the morning light had penetrated the window of the meditation room and slanted into the room. There was a faint fragrance of sandalwood on the nose, and a distant sound of ancient bells and jade in his ears. Voice. As in the sky and as in the ear.

"Are you awake?" A warm and warm voice came from the room, and Yun Ke turned his head in the direction of the voice.

Under the light of the morning light, a man in gray and white Zen clothes stood by the bed, his eyes calm and gentle. There is a bit of the air of dust, but his face is still wearing a veil, his black hair hangs down his shoulders, and he is casually tied with a peach wood hairpin. On his slender fingers hang a string of boxwood Zen beads, which are round and round. The beads slowly turned on his white fingertips, like the movement of life.

"Sixth brother." Yun Ke wanted to sit up, but as soon as he moved, a sharp pain came from his lower back, causing him to take a breath of cold air.

"You lost too much blood, so you slept longer." Yun Ling said with a slight smile. "Doctor Sun was scared to death by you. If you don't wake up again, I'm afraid I will go and tell the truth to the emperor."

"It makes the sixth brother worry." Yun Ke didn't dare to act rashly now, so he could only nod his head slightly.

"Between you and my brothers, you don't need to say these foreign words. I am here all year round, and you are the only one who can come to see me and talk to me." Yun Ling's eyes lightened slightly, and then he recovered. normal.

"Sixth brother. Did something happen while I was in a coma?" Yun Ke looked around, pondered for a moment, and then asked.

"Which aspect are you asking about?" Yun Ling lifted the hem of his clothes, sat down on the soft stool by the bed, and looked at his brother with a little deep meaning.

Yun Ke was slightly startled. Then he burst into laughter, his sixth brother had not asked about the world for a long time, although he couldn't hide what happened in the capital, but he almost never talked about it in front of him and asked him himself. Isn't it a question.

In fact, what he really wanted to ask was how is Gu Yuqi doing. It's just that he was embarrassed to ask so directly in front of Yun Ling.

He never expected Gu Yuqi to come and see him, but he couldn't help but think, maybe she would really come to see him? Yun Ke felt a little tired and lost.

"When you were in a coma, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou came to beg to see you." Yun Ling seemed to see through Yun Ke's mind. "But I was dismissed by me."

"Oh." Yun Ke nodded with all his thoughts.

"I think the young lady from Dingyuan Hou's family must be very beautiful." Yun Ling said with a slight smile, "Although it is not polite to talk about others behind your back, there must be something special about you who can sacrifice your life to save you like this, isn't it? "

Yun Ke's white jade-like cheeks suddenly showed two faint blushes, and he turned his head away unnaturally, "What are the sixth brothers talking about?" Where is that woman beautiful, she is obviously very hateful. Yun Ke remembered Gu Yuqi's eyebrows, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Well, that woman is beautiful and will be even more beautiful in the future.

"Don't be stubborn." Yun Ling smiled faintly. He always felt that his seventh brother was too cold, with a calm and ruthless that did not match his age, but at that moment, he seemed to be alive. Up, there is a bit of the smell of fireworks in the world. "With your skills, if you didn't have to take care of others, how could you be injured so badly? I have already brought you back to the royal father's side, but I just said that you accidentally fell, and the fifth brother sent someone to ask about your injury. , I came back the same way. You can rest assured to stay here for a few more days."

"Thank you fifth brother." Yun Ke nodded.

The capital was going to be in chaos soon, he remembered it clearly, anyway, he had already arranged everything early, it would be good to stay in Huguo Temple for a few more days, and just happened to avoid those things in the capital.

"It's a pity." Yun Ling suddenly sighed again.

"What's wrong?" Yun Ke asked succinctly.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see Mrs. Dingyuan Hou in the future." Yun Ling sighed in a low voice. "And that young lady of Dingyuan Hou's mansion is more famous now, and it can be regarded as notorious. It is rumored that she forced her biological mother to death, disobeyed her biological father, and was expelled from Dingyuan Hou's mansion. I am begging bitterly in front of you, I am afraid that now the father and the emperor have ordered to arrest the young lady of the Dingyuan Hou residence, oh, no, it can only be said that it is the former direct young lady."

Yun Ke's heart trembled, "What happened?" He only slept for a few days, how could so many things happen! Forcing your biological mother to death, disobeying your biological father? What a guilt this is!

"The night you were injured, I heard that the Dingyuan Hou family who lived in the Zen courtyard in front of them rushed back to the capital overnight. After two days, news came from the capital that the Dingyuan Hou mansion was on fire, and the Dingyuan Hou's daughter was injured because of the fire. The disobedient father was expelled from the house and set the mansion on fire. Mrs. Dingyuan Hou's whereabouts were unknown in the fire. Most of them were burned to death in the Hou mansion. "Yun Ling said while watching his seventh brother's expression carefully.

Madam Dingyuan Hou is dead! Yun Ke couldn't bear it any longer and sat up, "What the sixth brother said is true?" He eagerly held Yun Ling's hand, Yun Ling looked down at his movements, then raised his eyes and nodded. "Should be inseparable from eight." He paused, "Dingyuan Hou's mansion has issued a notice last night, and also invited the master of Huguo Temple to go to give Mrs. Dingyuan Hou's dharma services for three days." He It's just to tell the truth about what he heard. As for the truth and falsehood, it has nothing to do with him. He only said it because Yun Ke was very concerned about the daughter of Dingyuan Hou's mansion. Chi private claw carry.

Although Yun Ke has been reluctant to say who fell in with him after he was rescued, the cloth tied to his body is of a completely different material than his clothes. Even if he refuses to say, Yun Ling guesses. Get one or two. Mrs. Dingyuan Hou's unexpected visit and tentative tone, coupled with the fact that the girl who came to tip off the news was obviously dressed up as a maid from a big family, Yun Ling could probably guess the reason just by thinking about it.

Yun Ke has always been cold-hearted. If he hadn't maintained the young lady of the Dingyuan Hou family, why would he have said nothing?

Yun Ke's brows furrowed deeply.

He slowly lay back on the bed again, his mind is in a mess now, how could this happen?

In the last life, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou passed away at about this time. But in the last life, Gu Yuqi was always the daughter of the Hou's mansion, and she was not kicked out of the Dingyuan Hou's mansion. What went wrong?

Still... Yun Ke's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly. Damn Gu Yuqi, in order to avoid me, she actually used such a tragic method! Fire again! You are very capable. In the last life, the palace was set on fire, and it was yourself. In this life, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was burned first, and it was your mother who was burned to death! The Dingyuan Hou Mansion, which had also left.

Yes, it must be Gu Yuqi's ghost. She openly contradicted herself and beat herself up again. Beating the royal family was considered a serious crime. It must be that the Duke of Dingyuan wanted her to come to apologize and admit her mistake after learning about it, but she refused, so she disobeyed her biological father.

He only felt a surge of anger suddenly rise from his heart, **** it! He thought that this woman would be restrained in this life, no longer ignoring filial piety and being inhumane, but who knew that Gu Yuqi's scripture in this life would have gotten worse. In the last life, Gu Yuqi married into the palace in the midst of filial piety. !

He instantly felt that he was a fool, how could he think about this kind of woman for decades, even if he lived again, he would never forget it! Yes, if there is a sin, he can't clean himself, he kills his brother with his own hands, but if he doesn't do it, he will die, and Gu Yuqi? Thinking about how that Hou Dingyuan cultivated her carefully, how could it be so easy to be detrimental to her? Even if he had some thoughts, he would never force his daughter to death, but Gu Yuqi forced the death of her biological mother and disobeyed her biological father. Can it be done, is it still human?

The anger surged, and even the eyes dimmed a little. But after getting angry, he thought about it carefully, and felt that something was wrong.

This made Yun Ke frown deeply.

"You should rest first. Don't think too much about other things." Looking at his brother's deep frown, Yun Ling sighed silently, comforted him, and then got up and left.

The more Yun Ke thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he summoned the dark guard, "You send someone to check the whereabouts of Gu Yuqi in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and who he is with, and report immediately when you find out." He ordered. The dark guard took the order to leave, and Yun Ke slowly closed his eyes.

Gu Yuqi's whereabouts must be found out, but there is one more thing in front of him. If he remembers it well, in half a month, a nationwide plague will break out in Daqi.

He has secretly collected and stored a lot of the medicinal herbs of dry leaf grass. This medicine is only three taels of silver per pound, but in another month, the price will soar to twenty gold per pound. The speed of the price increase and the high price increase is simply astonishing.

It was this plague that caused Emperor Jing's trust in His Highness the Prince to drop sharply, and bandits clustered everywhere. The fourth brother of the Jiangbei camp, Ding Wang Yunqing, would also lead his troops out of Jiangbei on the grounds of righteously suppressing the bandits. After the bandits were eliminated, Ding Wang Yunqing would rise to the throne The King of Jing, Yunyi, was favored by Emperor Jing because he dealt with the plague in a timely manner. In order to check and balance the rising King Ding, Emperor Jing would allocate part of the military power to Yunyi and himself.

This plague is a starting point for him to take control of power and move to the top step by step.

In the last life, he risked his death to enter the epidemic area, accidentally contracted the plague, and almost lost his life there. Thanks to Zhang Wanyi's ancient recipe, the method recorded above saved the people of the world, and even more He, and the most important herbal medicine in this recipe is the dead leaf grass, because it accounts for a large proportion in this recipe, so the dead leaf grass will be out of stock for a while, forming a situation where it is hard to find a thousand dollars.

It was also because of this that Zhang Wanyi was granted Yunyi to marry by Emperor Jing and became the concubine of King Jing.

In the last life, he died in the epidemic area, and his heart was disheartened. Yun Yi and De Concubine forced him to go. If the people in the epidemic area were saved, the credit would be on Yun Yi's head. If he also caught the plague, then all the responsibility They will all be pushed on his head, and they have nothing to do with Yun Yi, everything is handled improperly by him.

Such a ruthless concubine, such a ruthless fifth brother, in his last life, when he was seriously ill, he swore that if he could escape this catastrophe, all those who had bullied him would be punished.

In this life, he knew for a long time that Zhang Wanyi took out the prescription, and naturally he would not suffer from the infection again, but the top priority was that he had to take care of his current injuries and return to the capital.

Because soon after the plague broke out, he would be sent to the epidemic area by Yunyi.

Thinking of the prescription, Yun Ke suddenly remembered something. He didn't take it to heart in the last life. In this life, he needs to take a look at it.

After taking a rest, Gu Yuqi and her party mostly travel at night. At night, they will not attract too much attention on the road, but this also has a disadvantage, that is, according to the laws of Daqi, the town will be closed at night. , so Gu Yuqi and the others can only try their best to avoid the town and do not pass through the town, so they will travel more distance, but compared to the risk of crossing the town, it is nothing to take more mountain roads.

From the capital to Kuizhou, it would take about 15 days for a fast horse to rush day and night, but Gu Yuqi and the others only hurry at night and rest during the day, which slows down the journey even more. In Kuizhou, the plague broke out first in a town in the south.

She found the recipe in the last life in an ancient book. She happily showed the recipe to Zhang Wanyi and asked her to send someone to find a few sick people to test the medicine. A few days later, this recipe was offered by Zhang Wanyi one step ahead.

When she heard that Yunke was sent to the epidemic area to relieve the disaster, she was so anxious that she could not sleep foolishly. Yun Ke wouldn't know how uncomfortable and worried she was when she learned that he was infected with the plague and was quarantined in the epidemic area. She went crazy and swept all the bookstores in the capital. A tattered manuscript was found in the eye-catching little shop. It was an ancient book from the previous dynasty, which recorded this recipe.

At that time, she was very angry, and just wanted to go to Zhang Wanyi to have a theory, but Zhang Wanyi took the lead to come to Dingyuan Hou's mansion to plead guilty, crying that this recipe was not offered by her behind Gu Yuqi's back, but was accidentally taken by her. Her father, Prime Minister Zhang, found out that it was dedicated to His Royal Highness King Jing without her knowledge. His Highness King Jing thought it was Zhang Wanyi who found it, and asked His Majesty this method.

She begged Gu Yuqi bitterly not to tell this matter, otherwise their family would be a criminal who deceived the king, and they would be executed. Besides, whether this recipe could be successful or not is another matter. If it fails, their Zhang family will also bear the consequences. Gu Yuqi was so angry that she wanted to die, but being asked by Zhang Wanyi like this made her feel pity. After all, Zhang Wanyi was already her best friend in that lifetime. It's just a prescription, just give it.

Gu Yuqi recalled this and couldn't help but smile coldly. How stupid was she in the last life?

How could a woman like Zhang Wanyi who was born with a seven orifices and an exquisite heart give away the prescription without confirming it? Besides, Prime Minister Zhang has been an old slick in the officialdom for many years, but if there is a little mistake in this recipe, he will not make a cage for himself to get into.

Therefore, Zhang Wanyi must have confirmed that this formula is indeed effective before taking it out.

It was because of this Fang Zi that she gained a good reputation and became Princess Jing, but what about herself? I feel that the purpose of saving Yun Ke has been achieved anyway, as long as he is safe, it doesn't matter who gave this recipe.

Later, when he returned to Beijing, he just went to thank Zhang Wanyi, but didn't pay attention to himself, the real savior. Even if she said to him that she found the recipe by herself, she would only get him a sneer.

So stupid, so stupid. Gu Yuqi was beside the carriage, holding a piece of grass in her mouth, looking up at the sky.

The sun shone through the gaps in the trees, warm and dazzling, Gu Yuqi couldn't help narrowing her eyes. In this life, without her reading medical skills day and night in the capital, would anyone still offer this recipe?

Gu Yuqi sighed, there should be more. Even if she didn't turn out the recipe in this life, that Yun Ke was reborn, so even without her in this life, even if he was infected with the plague in the epidemic area, it would only be a near miss. It seems that some arrangements have already been made. Even if Gu Yuqi didn't have her in the capital to find a recipe for Yun Ke frantically, Yun Ke would not die because of the plague.

As for Zhang Wanyi, I don't know how she will become Princess Jing in this life. After all, she is two or three years older than herself, and she is not too young now. But according to the current situation, I am afraid that she will be canonized soon.

"If you go back to the young lady, I'm afraid that the top of the mountain is a little uneven." Zhao Wu rode his horse and ran from a distance, dismounted from the horse and clasped his fists in front of Gu Yuqi.

In order to avoid the town and avoid Dingyuan Hou's tracking, they all chose a relatively uncommon path to walk, and when they saw the town, they tried their best to avoid it. It was already far from the capital, and it was not surprising that there were bandits and robbers in the mountains.

Gu Yuqi still remembered that after the plague in the last life, these robbers and bandits couldn't survive in the mountains, and they went down to loot one after another, which also caused a great chaos in Daqi. They sacked the palace. The historian of Daqi also named the turmoil, the Gengzi Rebellion, because this year happened to be the year of Gengzi.

Because of the plague and the Gengzi Rebellion that affected the entire Daqi this time, Daqi hurt some vitality, and the national strength was weak in the next few years, which gave Rouran an opportunity to make a comeback.

However, Gu Yuqi felt that the Rouran people came a little late. If the Rouran people sent troops to take advantage of the chaos in Gengzi, it would not be impossible for them to occupy half of Daqi.

History is like this, when you look back, anyone will be the aftermath, but at that time, there was no such courage and speed.

The further north you go, the more bandits there are. Because of the desolation, there are large and small cottages on many hilltops. Daqi had fought for years before, and it seemed to be prosperous and stable, but it had hidden hidden dangers. In the vicinity of the capital, there are even more blooming flowers, where can you see that people in remote areas are still starving and freezing.

The aristocratic extravagance is unabated. Emperor Jing’s day-to-day worries are nothing more than his position. There is no need to care about whether the people live and work in peace and contentment. Peace in the world, this kind of slogan is shouted to the emperor. He is aloof and naturally does not know the real situation.

If he could detect the clues early, the Gengzi Rebellion would not have erupted so comprehensively, and the impact would not have been so far-reaching.

Gu Yuqi gathered everyone together, and the more they walked, the more assured Liang Huaiyu would let Gu Yuqi make arrangements. Therefore, in this team, although Liang Huaiyu is the boss, it is Gu Yuqi who counts.

"It's not far from the Jiangbei Camp. There should be bandits in the mountains ahead. Zhao Wu has already checked it out. If there are bandits, we don't have to be afraid." Gu Yuqi thought for a while and said, "Well, let's today. Just hurry up during the day, and then take a rest after passing the hill. Zhao Wu, you lead the way with five guards, Sister Chunxing, you and Sister Dongxue ride a horse together, Sister Xia He, sister Qiuyue, Bai Fu With Dai Mei, Dye Mo with Runying, Rouge and my mother. The carriage made the rest of the guards drive in the middle of the team. Everyone must walk together. Zhao Wu, you have rich experience, head. We must be careful before leading the way, and be careful to observe whether there are any traps or the like. If the bandits we encounter are not strong, we will fight them, but don't fight to prevent them from having support. If we encounter powerful bandits, We focus on breaking through the siege, and remember to try our best to go to the Jiangbei Camp after getting out of trouble. They don’t dare to chase after them. If anyone gets lost, we will gather outside the south gate of Jiangxia City, where the Jiangbei Camp is located.”

After Gu Yuqi finished speaking, she glanced at everyone, "Does everyone remember?" She tried her best to let the maids who did not know martial arts be protected by people who knew martial arts, so that even if they broke through, they would not drag everyone down because of them.

Although Gu Yuqi has opened a plug-in, she doesn't know much about the bandits in this area. After all, she has never experienced such things as bandit suppression, but according to her previous life's memory, she vaguely remembers that the bandits here are just a group of rabble. What kind of weather, because the Jiangbei Camp is not far in front, this powerful bandit has long been exterminated by King Ding, and the rest are just some scoundrels hiding in the ravine.

So she is not very worried, but for safety reasons, she still makes such an arrangement.

"Yes, young lady." The ten guards responded in unison, and their eyebrows shone with light. It had been a long time since they had heard such a powerful arrangement. They were originally orphans rescued by General Liang Da. They grew up in the barracks and went to the Liang family in Jiangnan to serve as guards in order to repay their kindness, but they still had the blood of soldiers flowing in their bones. The days inside the gate of the deep house made them numb day by day, and only the days of fleeing with the eldest and the young lady awakened the blood that was already flowing in their blood.

Seeing the uniform answers from the guards, although there were only a few of them, they were very imposing, and Gu Yuqi's blood also became hot.

Although she has never been a soldier, she has seen others lead soldiers. It wasn't that she never stayed with Yun Ke in a place like the military camp. With the voices of the guards, Gu Yuqi's memory seemed to be aroused. She proudly straightened her chest and looked at her mother.

Liang Huaiyu looked at her daughter in the morning light with warm and soft eyes. If she was a boy, would Daqi have another God of War? Perhaps the mantle of father does not need to be passed on to Gu Huaizhong, but should be inherited by Gu Yuqi.

In his daughter's eyebrows, Liang Huaiyu vaguely saw his father, General Liang, the **** of war in Daqi. Yes, the blood of his daughter's blood is the blood of generals!

"Mother, how are my arrangements?" Gu Yuqi asked.

"Okay." Liang Huaiyu nodded, then got on his horse and lifted the silver spear stuck on the ground, "Just do as the young lady said!" She proudly raised the silver spear in her hand, the body of the spear reflecting in the sunlight A dazzling light came out.

"Let's go then!" Gu Yuqi also got on the horse's back and lifted the spear hanging behind the saddle.

Chun Xing and Xia He's hearts were also agitated with pride. With such a young lady and young lady following along, even if there was a sea of ​​swords and flames in front of them, how could they be afraid! What's more, it's just a bunch of little thieves.
