After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight
Chapter 3: Disaster in Yunzhou (Plot Point)
"My father has entrusted me with the task of disaster relief in Yunzhou yesterday. I came here today to say goodbye to you all. We will leave in one more cup of tea."
"Yunzhou disaster relief, Your Highness, this is a hot potato. How did it fall into your hands?" Zhou Qiyu looked surprised.
Yunzhou experienced heavy rains in the second half of this year. The river water rose sharply and damaged the river dam, flooding many villages. The disaster has not yet subsided. A report three days ago said that people in three villages had been hit by the epidemic.
If this disaster relief was just an ordinary flood, it would indeed be a good job for the princes, and many princes would take the opportunity of disaster relief to make some money.
This is where the tricky part comes in. Once an epidemic breaks out, the situation is different. If you are not careful and get infected, it is possible that you may die from it.
Faced with such a dangerous and hot potato, the princes naturally tried to shirk their responsibilities and no one was willing to take over.
"I took the initiative to ask my father for help. The situation in Yunzhou can't wait any longer. If no one is in charge, I'm afraid the epidemic will not be able to control the officials under it for a long time, and riots may occur." Zhou Yichen confessed.
After an epidemic, riots of varying degrees often occur. Yunzhou is a very special location, which allows one to advance directly into the capital or retreat to the outside of the Great Wall.
If someone really wants to take advantage of this incident in Yunzhou to cause trouble, it will definitely not be a good thing for the imperial court.
"Ding! Host, please follow the plot and go to Yunzhou with the hero."
Chu Xi had been sitting nearby, quietly enjoying the feast. When he was called out unexpectedly, he almost smashed the cup.
"Why would a lazy prince like me go there? Are you looking for death?"
"The host must stay with the male protagonist!"
"..."
"I won't do it, so I'll give you electric shock punishment."
"You must go through important nodes. If you don't, you will die."
Chu Xi took a deep breath silently to suppress her anger. She did not hear a word of what the people around her were discussing about the Yunzhou epidemic.
It was not until they finished discussing the Yunzhou epidemic that Zhou Yichen stood up. Chu Xi had to put down his teacup and follow them downstairs.
Several people said some good things one after another, but they all knew that the flood had not been resolved and the epidemic had re-emerged, so this was a difficult task.
Chu Xi knew that she couldn't delay any longer, so she took advantage of Zhou Yichen not leaving yet and said, "Your Highness, I want to go with you on this trip."
"Qibai, you..." Zhou Yichen's heart moved, and his eyes became softer, "I know your feelings, but I'm not sure this time, and I may not be able to return, so you should stay."
Chu Xi, "......"
"You are in need of a thug, take me with you, I can protect you. Yunzhou must be in chaos right now, one more person means one more helper."
Zhou Qiyu and Zhou Jialiang stared at Chu Xi's back with complicated eyes. Chu Jiang... was loyal to King Yan.
Zhou Qiyu lowered his eyes. Having been trapped in the capital for so many years, he was accustomed to the prosperity of the capital, but he had also seen the fickleness of human nature and the intrigues. He had long been disgusted with such a life and only wanted to return to his fiefdom as soon as possible.
Zhou Yichen is much luckier than him. Although he is treated coldly by His Majesty, he has several confidants willing to follow him. Now he has Chu Jiang, his study companion, who is willing to follow him until death.
Zhou Jialiang snorted in his heart, he was just a powerless prince, what use would it be even if he really chased after him?
He thought so in his heart, but that inexplicable emotion made it difficult for him to let go.
Zhou Yichen smiled gently at Chu Xi's insistence. The four words "a gentleman is like jade" really do apply to him.
His insistence on Chu Xi was obviously... a misunderstanding. He misunderstood that Chu Xi would accompany him even if she knew there was a cliff.
"come here."
Chu Xi followed Zhou Yichen to the side. When the others saw this, they knew that the two of them had something to say and walked away on their own initiative.
Zhou Jialiang and Zhou Qiyu left in a carriage one after the other. They were only in a temporary cooperative relationship with Zhou Yichen. They helped Zhou Yichen ascend the throne, and after Zhou Yichen ascended the throne, he would let them return to their fiefdom.
Everyone who came out today knew about this deal. Except for these two hostages, the other four people were all legitimate or illegitimate sons of major ministers.
They are all people with outstanding abilities. Zhou Yichen called them together to tell them in disguise that he was going to leave the capital and that they would be in charge of the affairs in the capital for the time being.
Zhou Yichen is the son of the late queen, who was also from the Cui family. This has led to His Majesty being particularly cold towards Zhou Yichen, the prince who should have been the most qualified to ascend to the throne of crown prince.
His Majesty has been so cold to him for so many years that all the nobles in the capital know that His Majesty hates Prince Yan. In His Majesty's eyes, Prince Yan is a transparent person.
Even the title of Prince of Yan was obtained by his maternal grandfather, Grand Tutor Cui, after his retirement. His many disciples submitted petitions together to ask for this belated title of Prince of Yan.
The characters before the names of other princes were mostly used for compliments, but the title of Yan... was so meaningful that within a year after he was crowned king, many princes openly or covertly mocked the meaning of the title.
Regarding the Yunzhou incident this time, even if Zhou Yichen did not take the initiative to submit a memorial, I am afraid that it would eventually fall on his head.
It would be better to take the initiative and catch others off guard.
Zhou Yichen brought Chu Xi to the alley nearby, stared at her with deep eyes and said, "Qibai, the situation in Yunzhou is uncertain. If you go with me, who can take care of the overall situation in Beijing for me?"
This...is half true and half false. He just doesn't want Chu Jiang to get involved.
Chu Jiang is the person closest to him. If he really wants to take people to such a dangerous place, it should be other people.
"Your Highness, the capital does not need me. The situation in Yunzhou is unclear, and those princes have been hoping that something bad will happen to you. If the situation in Yunzhou is really as serious as the memorial says, you must take me with you on this trip."
Chu Xi...naturally wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that she would be able to guarantee Zhou Yichen's safety if she went there. On the contrary, Zhou Yichen's inherent aura of being the leading man would allow him to live longer than her.
However, since this broken system required that this node must be completed, Chu Xi knew that he could not escape this level.
"It's such a dangerous place. Can you trust others to go there?"
Zhou Yichen has been surrounded by swords and sabers for many years, and Chu Jiang's words really touched his heart. He did not reject Chu Jiang's words firmly, because no matter how many people there are around him, there are not many people he can trust.
"Then go back and pack your things. It's late. I won't wait for you."
Chu Xi waited for this and smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Yes, Your Highness, I will go back and pack my things now."
She quickly jumped onto her horse and disappeared into the street.
This scene was naturally seen by Zhou Jialiang, who was sitting in the carriage and slightly lifting the curtain.
