[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

Fortunately, the Eighth Prince didn't listen to what King Jing said, and he didn't follow what King Jing said. He didn't go to the palace to face the saint, so please call the imperial army.

He took Jing Wang's letter and went to find Prime Minister Wang first.

Coincidentally, he met Bao Zheng again at Prime Minister Wang's place.

There is also a letter in Bao Zheng's hand, and the content is completely different from that in the hand of the Eighth Prince.

The worried Prime Minister Wang saw the Eighth Prince with a smile on his face immediately: "Master Bao, look, you have a letter, and the prince also has a letter, so who should I listen to? Why don't you send these two letters first?" Press the letter, don't bother the Holy One with it, it won't be too late to see the Holy Spirit after everything is found out."

"But this matter is very urgent. If it is true that Xuzhou is a group of mobs as written in the letter, then what do you ask the two little princes to do?" The Eighth Prince disagreed.

"If everything written in the letter is true, and what the two little princes have done has aroused public anger, and one hundred thousand starving people may starve to death at any time, then what should we do?" Bao Zheng asked awe-inspiringly.

"But..." Prime Minister Wang smiled stiffly, "The Eighth Prince, Mr. Bao, the matter may not be as serious as it is written in the letter. Maybe it's just that the prefect of Xuzhou and the two young princes are fighting for power and profit. We are in the same court As an official, you should be kind to others, so why make such a fuss?"

The Eighth Prince and Master Bao looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Prime Minister Wang is like this. He has a high position and authority, but he loves sex. He doesn't want to offend anyone, and he wants to have a good relationship with everyone.

"What's more, the two young princes are also my protégés. No matter whether they committed public outrage or needed the court to send troops, the old man has to bear some responsibilities. Before the matter is clear, I'd better give the old man a face and hold back..." Prime Minister Wang stood up and bowed to the two of them.

"Old Prime Minister, don't say that, let's send someone to investigate first, and it won't be too late to report to the emperor after finding out the truth, please hurry up!" If the old waist is broken, the loss outweighs the gain.

"Oh, thank you two adults for giving me this face!" Prime Minister Wang shook his head, he had long regretted accepting the two young princes of Prince Jing's Mansion as heirs. You shouldn't have received that apprenticeship ceremony!

Bao Zheng said: "If the prime minister is at ease with me, you might as well hand over the investigation to the Kaifeng government."

"With the help of Kaifeng Mansion, I'm naturally relieved." Wang Chengxiang smiled so that all the creases on his face were crumpled into a ball.

After visiting the Prime Minister, Master Bao and the Eighth Prince came out together, and looked at the letter in each other's hands. The Eighth Prince became more and more uncertain: "If they really love the people so much, how can they cause riots? I'm afraid the letters from these two brothers are not the same. If it is not true, Xuzhou is in danger!"

"What the prince thinks is also what Bao Zheng thinks. I will arrange people to go to Xuzhou as soon as possible." Bao Zheng said.

"This matter must be found out, and His Majesty must not be kept in the dark, or even used by others." The Eighth Prince gritted his teeth and said.

He is almost psychologically overwhelmed by these letters now. Those two letters from Zhao Yi made him suffer a lot. Another nephew's emotions, let him not be too sad for Zhao Yi's death.

Now seeing the eloquent letter in his hand, the Eighth Prince seems to have seen another, no, two Zhao Yi's appearance.

The children of the royal family are far away from the real power. Although they have titles, they cannot leave Beijing without authorization. They will stay in Bianliang for the rest of their lives.Now that all these years have passed, the young people in the royal family are not as good as one generation after another.

For the time being, Bao Zheng didn't care about the future development of the royal family. He was more concerned about the [-] Xuzhou victims who suffered from famine. Everyone called over.

Pang Yu came to Kaifeng Mansion to report every day during this period, so he and Bai Yutang also came.

Master Bao explained the two letters to them in detail, and then looked at Zhan Zhao: "When I received Chen Qian's letter, I wanted Zhan Weiwei to find out the truth first, but I didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would There is still a letter in his hand, which shows that the conflict between the prefect of Xuzhou and the two imperial envoys has reached the point of fire and water, I am afraid that Xuzhou's urgency cannot be delayed, and it may be very dangerous for the guards to go alone."

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu said at the same time: "This subordinate is willing to go with Zhan's guards!"

Bao Zheng hesitated.

Gongsun Ce said directly: "If the two of you go together, what will you do if there is something wrong with Kaifeng Mansion? Dynasty and Ma Han don't know when they will come back. If someone handed over a paper, who will lead the yamen servant to investigate the grievance? I come?"

"This..." The two couldn't help but looked at each other.

"Stop arguing, let Shaoxia Bai and An Lehou go, didn't they both go to Laiyang County a while ago, and they have a decent way of doing things, better than the two of you." Mr. Gongsun directly did it for Mr. Bao decided.

Master Bao stroked his flowing beard, nodded repeatedly, and looked at Pang Yu and Bai Yutang expectantly at the same time.

Seen by the elder Master Bao, Pang Yu agreed without saying a word, even Bai Yutang had no objection.

Therefore, the matter of the three of them going to Xuzhou together was discussed properly.

Bao Zheng was not at ease, so he carefully pondered the two letters, and analyzed the possible situation in Xuzhou with the three of them. Mr. Gongsun added that it took an hour or two to talk about it.

However, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu felt that they had a heavy burden on their shoulders, so they took the initiative to go out on patrol.

The sky was getting dark, and it was time for dinner. The cook of Kaifeng Mansion brought a large plate of steamed buns and a few dishes of side dishes, and persuaded: "The adults have something to do, so it's the same after dinner. The cakes are cold, but they are like stones." Hard!"

"That's right, let's eat while it's hot!" Bao Zheng is not a person who will starve his subordinates, he hurriedly greeted everyone, "Young Master can also make do with it, although it is not as exquisite as the food in Taishi's Mansion, it will fill your stomach But it's okay."

Pang Yu hurriedly said: "How dare you choose, Mrs. Du's cooking is already delicious."

Mrs. Du, the cook, heard the young master's praise, and laughed like a flower: "My lords, eat slowly, I'm going back to the kitchen."

However, after just a few mouthfuls, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu rushed back with anxious expressions: "My lord, it's not good!"

"What's the panic?"

"While the two of us were on patrol, we found people in Prince Jing's Mansion packing up!" Zhang Long panted, "After inquiring, I found out that the Eighth Prince went to Prince Jing's Mansion after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then it was reported that Prince Jing The news that I am planning to go to Xuzhou privately!"

"What?!" Everyone present was a little surprised.

It is a big or small crime for King Jing to leave the capital without reporting.And his purpose of leaving Beijing is also very obvious, nothing more than bringing the guards in the mansion to suppress the "mob" in Xuzhou for Zhao Qiujie and Zhao Qiutang. If he really waits for him to go, Xuzhou does not know what chaos will be like!

Zhan Zhao was the quickest to respond: "It's not too late. This subordinate will rush all night tonight and arrive in Xuzhou before King Jing."

"It's so good." Bao Zheng looked at Pang Yu and Bai Yutang apologetically, "It's just...that I have wronged you two."

"Young man, it's okay to take a little hard work as exercise." Pang Yu said with a smile.

Master Bao looked at the three of them with relief, nodded and said: "Go early and return early. Although the situation in Xuzhou is critical, you should also protect yourselves."

The three of them responded, and went to pack their things and prepare to go.

From Kaifeng to Xuzhou, it can be reached in two to three days if you hurry up, and if you drive overnight, you can reach it in one day and night.

The three of them knew that they had to be ahead of King Jing this time, so they were all prepared to endure hardships, and even the pampered Pang Yu didn't cry tired.

However, Zhan Zhao was still very considerate, and he would recuperate on the spot every few hours, which would not only allow the horses to recover their leg strength, but also allow Pang Yu to rest for a while.

Pang Yu was a bit overwhelmed by the continuous driving for several hours. The most important thing was that he didn't eat enough when he was in Kaifeng Mansion at night, and they all took shortcuts and never passed through villages or towns.At this time, the sky was dim, and one or two tea shops could be seen on the side of the road, but unfortunately the shopkeepers hadn't come to do business yet, so they could only sit dryly under the hut.

But at this moment, Bai Yutang took out two steamed buns from the bag like a magic trick: "I know you haven't had enough to eat, so let's pad your stomach first."

"Where did you get it?" Pang Yu didn't see this man when he was clearly packing his bags, and even hid the steamed buns privately.

"When I was resting in the temple before, I enshrined in front of the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva has always been merciful and merciful, and will not care about us." Bai Yutang said.

Pang Yu shook his hands and almost dropped the steamed buns on the ground: "You...you took away all the offerings from the Bodhisattva?!"

"I didn't take all of them, and I left two oranges for the Bodhisattva." Bai Yutang laughed, "Now we are considered starving people, don't the Bodhisattvas all save the suffering and suffering, and these offerings can save one or two hungry people, so it must be a blessing to the Bodhisattva. It’s a good thing to say, right?”

"It's... really nonsensical!" Pang Yu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

"Then do you want it?" Bai Yutang asked impatiently.

"...Yes!" Well, he is just that spineless.Apologizing 1 times to the Bodhisattva in his heart, silently thinking that he would definitely give more offerings to the Bodhisattva later, Pang Yu started to eat the dry steamed buns in the water.

Zhan Zhao, who was sitting a little further away, silently looked at the two of them: "..." In fact, he didn't have enough to eat.

When the rest was almost over, the three of them set off again, still taking shortcuts and rarely passing through towns.

Just less than half a day away from Xuzhou, they suddenly heard a cry for help.

Zhan Zhao rode his horse first, followed by Pang Yu.Not far away, the three of them saw a group of suspected robbers surrounding a young girl, as if they wanted to force her, but the girl resisted with all her strength, shouted loudly, and waved a thick bamboo pole.

Because of the bamboo pole, the robbers couldn't get close to her for a while, but when her strength always ran out, they simply waited and humiliated the girl with words: "What's the use of screaming loudly, here No one will come to rescue you if you don’t go to the village or back to the store!”

As soon as the words fell, the person who spoke was kicked by Zhan Zhao.
