Chapter 025
The arrangements had just been made here, and Ni Liang hurried back with three more people. After some introduction, he learned that one of them was Cai Wanyi, the former Quanzhou Sicheng official, one was Huang Xianyao, the son of Quanzhou general Huang Keji, and the other monk was Quanzhou
Master Yuan Miao, the elder of Qingyuan Shaolin Temple, it was they who led the rebel army to escort His Highness out of the siege during the Quanzhou Incident, escaped the pursuit of the Yuan army, and escorted His Highness all the way to the sea until they were separated. Bi?

After Zhao Bing asked, he found out that the situation of the Quanzhou rebels was worse than that of the people on the sea. Regarding the unexplained disappearance of Her Highness, the Queen Mother thought that they had served successfully and did not issue a punishment, but she still blamed them for their poor care. Naturally, she
They were indifferent. Those who worked below were just looking for food. Seeing that the Quanzhou rebels fell out of favor and His Highness who protected them disappeared, they naturally lost their good looks. It would be easier to supply supplies.
After arriving in Jiazi Town, they didn't even have a place to live, let alone provide them with food and grass, as if they were asked to fend for themselves. Cai Wanyi also went to the food and grass officer for this, and despite all kinds of pleading, he only gave them some moldy old food.
But it was only enough for two or three days. In the situation of lack of food and clothing, some people did not resent the treatment and left, some switched to other units, and some fell ill. Now there are only more than a thousand people left.
It is in a state of disintegration and seems to be unsustainable.
"Amitabha, we are relieved that His Highness has returned safely. Tomorrow I will take all the disciples to leave. Today is my farewell." Yuan Miao looked at the frowning young prince sitting in the seat and sighed. He knew that in such a situation, let him
It is really difficult for a child to change. Leaving alone can save him some troubles.
"Uncle Zong, don't be anxious. The situation is critical now and we still need the help of all the masters." After hearing Yuan Miao's words, Zhao Bing jumped out of his chair and came to him in a few steps and bowed deeply, "I have already ordered you to go down and raise food and fodder. Everyone."
You can also stay in the mansion temporarily, but it's a pity that some people can't wait until I come back."
This monk Yuanmiao has a great background. His common name is Zhao Mengliang. He is a descendant of the clan who settled in Quanzhou after the southern crossing. He and Zhao Bing belong to the same lineage of Taizu, and are the same generation as his father, Emperor Duzong. What is the story?

cn He was fond of martial arts since he was a child and became a monk in the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. During the Quanzhou Incident, after he heard about Pu Shougeng's rebellion, he sent the news first and organized people to escort him. However, Pu Shougeng took action first and colluded with the Yuan army to present the city.
The general instigated the capital to send troops to attack the Shaolin Temple. Yuan Miao led more than a thousand monks to fight against 30,000 enemy troops, killing thousands of enemy troops. Later, the enemy troops shot with bows and arrows, and then charged to death with iron cavalry. The Shaolin monks could not resist, and most of them were killed.
After the massacre, only dozens of monks escaped, with Yuan Miao as the monk.
Thinking about the Shaolin Temple monks in his previous life, they were all highly skilled in martial arts. Zhao Bing is now a major general who is short of troops. At least for the time being, he cannot be allowed to leave, so he is trying hard to persuade them to stay. Not to mention letting them go into battle to kill the enemy, even if they stay with him, they will not be allowed to leave.
As a top-level bodyguard, you don’t have to worry about someone assassinating or kidnapping you. Yuan Miao is from the clan and is an outsider, so there is no need to worry about his loyalty and he can definitely be a big help to him.
"Amitabha, the young monk understands His Majesty's kindness, but the young monk is already an outsider. It is inconvenient to interfere with the affairs of the mortal world. He only wants the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng to serve the Buddha wholeheartedly." Yuan Miao looked at Zhao Bing, his eyes became much gentler, and he gently pulled out of his body.
said the hand.
"Uncle Zong has decided to leave? Abandon the Queen Mother and Your Majesty and leave!" Zhao Bing knew that he was still hesitating in his heart, so he took out two more great gods and said with tears, and his mind was not idle, thinking about how to keep him.
.
"A monk has no home, and a young monk has no home since he entered Buddhism." Yuan Miao answered with his hands folded.
"Okay, can you ask Uncle Zong to postpone it for a few days? Firstly, let me prepare some money and things for Uncle Zong to pay for. Secondly, I want everyone to settle down and ask Uncle Zong to preside over a ritual ceremony to save those eldest sons and loyal ministers who died in Quanzhou.
"Righteous people, let them escape from the sea of suffering and re-enter reincarnation as soon as possible." Zhao Bing sighed again and said.
"..." Yuan Miao hesitated at first, but when he saw His Highness' face full of sadness, he didn't know how to answer.
"You, the great monk, really don't know what's good or bad. Your Highness is sincerely trying to persuade you to stay, but you still think you're arrogant and push back. I want you to be a descendant of the clan, but most of the country has been occupied by the Tatars. The capital has fallen, and the emperor is wandering around, but you don't want to serve the country and restore the inheritance of the ancestors. Even if
Even if you recite ten thousand lines of Amitabha, you may not be able to become a Buddha!" While the two were talking, Zhao Mengjin, who was sitting next to him, became angrier as he listened and couldn't help but jump up and said angrily.
"Amitabha, who is the arrogant person? Even the important officials of the imperial court cannot interfere with the royal family affairs!" The Clay Bodhisattva still has a bloody nature, not to mention that Zhao Mengjin's words hit Yuanmiao's pain point, and he declared the Buddha's name and looked at him with anger.
"Uh, bah, the Sa family is Zhao Mengjin's true state after Taizu. Your Highness is the deputy commander of the world's military and horses personally appointed by the Empress Dowager Xie. Zongzheng of the outer vassal, so why not deal with you according to the family law?" Zhao Mengjin jumped up to Lao Gao.
He scolded angrily, not afraid of Yuan Miao's sharp eyes.
"Using Yue is also a member of the clan?!" Yuan Miao said in surprise after hearing this. He was very angry. He understood that as a member of the clan, you were registered on the jade certificate when you were born. Unless you are expelled from the clan, no matter who you are in your life.
No matter what career you engage in, or whether you are married or funeral, you cannot escape the constraints of the clan. And His Royal Highness King Wei, the outer vassal clan, happens to be in charge of clans that are placed outside the capital. Of course, he also has the right to decide his stay and fate. Now,
The good words to persuade him to stay gave him enough face.
"Exactly. Since Taizu founded the country, he has been kind to the clan and treated us well. Now that the Song Dynasty is in danger, we and the clan just sit back and watch our family fall into the hands of thieves. Furthermore, as the ancients said, how can there be any eggs under the cover of the nest? They
How can you let me go, or do you want to kill me at your neck, clean your neck and let the Tatars come and kill you?" Zhao Mengjin stood up and said angrily, his fingers almost touching Yuan Miao's nose.
"Wonderful!" Zhao Bing secretly cheered for Zhao Mengjin. He thought that he had been in the army for many years and could not say anything except killing. He didn't expect that he could quote such wonderful words from classics. It seemed that he underestimated him.
He also underestimated the royal family’s education for the clan’s children. But looking at the two people glaring at each other, I was a little worried that the two of them would fight. They are both masters. If they really do it, no one can stop them!
"Amitabha..." Under Zhao Mengjin's gaze, Yuanmiao's face changed several times, and now he was struggling in his heart. After a while, he lowered his head and pronounced the Buddha's name, "Whatever your Highness's instructions are, I, the young monk, should obey them."
"Haha, is this right? If you monks are killed by the Tatars and the precepts are broken, the Buddha will definitely not accept you, so you might as well return to secular life!" When Zhao Mengjin saw what he said, he knew he had obeyed.
He patted Yuan Miao on the shoulder and smiled.
"Amitabha, killing a thief is a helpless act. A young monk will apologize in front of the Buddha, and he will take the trouble without doing anything!" After hearing this, Yuan Miao's face changed again, and she pronounced the Buddha's name, but did not see what happened to him. Zhao Mengjin suddenly shouted loudly.
After taking a few steps back, although everyone did not see where Yuan Miao was from, they also understood that he had suffered a hidden loss.
"Good skills, I will definitely ask for advice someday." Zhao Mengjin waved his hands and said.
"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. It's all a skill passed down from our ancestors. Let's just discuss it." Yuan Miao said with her hands clasped together, having already regained her usual composure.
"It's a great blessing that Uncle Zong can stay." Zhao Bing also breathed a sigh of relief. Not only could Yuan Miao stay, he would be given more help, but it would also be of great benefit to stabilize people's hearts...
The plan was decided, and everyone took action immediately. With the influx of nearly two thousand people, King Wei's visit suddenly became lively. When there are more people, there are more things to do. In order to facilitate management, Zhao Bing organized everyone into separate groups: Patients on the Epidemic Ship
Zhao Mengjin is in charge and is stationed in the smaller east courtyard; Quanzhou's escort volunteers are divided into two teams, and they are in charge of Cai Wanyi and Huang Xianyao respectively, and are stationed in the west garden;
Because of the inconvenience, Zhao Bing placed them in the Buddhist hall in the backyard.
Since the houses were limited and could not accommodate so many people, Zhao Bing ordered Zhou Xiang to take command of the original officers and soldiers, and mobilized skilled volunteers from each team to temporarily form a team and set up camps in the open space. Hao Yuntong led
He followed several doctors to conduct rounds and treat the patients. Thinking that everyone had not had enough food for many days, he ordered Wang De to take out all the food stored in the palace for the army, but even so, it was only enough for one meal, and tomorrow's breakfast was not yet known.
Where.
Fortunately, in the evening, Zhuang Shilin, who was sent to purchase grain and grass, brought back two hundred stones of grain, and even some vegetables and meat. Now that a large number of soldiers and civilians from the imperial court have poured in, not only the remaining grain in Jiazi Town has been requisitioned, but also the grain for hundreds of miles around is in short supply.
He bought these grains at twice the price. He originally thought that these things would be enough to feed the original group of people for a month, but he didn't expect that now that there are so many people, the small amount of grains in hand is far from enough.
, he immediately felt great pressure.
With the arrival of a wave of new people, Jiang Zongjie, who is responsible for guarding the palace, is also feeling uncomfortable. Now all the internal and external guards of the palace have been taken over by new volunteers. The forbidden troops in front of the palace have become gatekeepers, and their scope of activities
He was also restricted. Jiang Zongjie felt extremely angry at being marginalized, but he was also helpless. Who made the prince distrust him? Wang De, the chambermaid, was not much better. His Majesty ordered him to hand over his financial rights.
As for the distribution power, he, the general manager, had most of his power cut off. In fact, he only had the final say in the inner court, which made him extremely disappointed.
Helpless and helpless, lost and lost, although he was a young man, he was still a prince, and the two of them did not dare to disobey his orders, and such a 'big' thing happened in the house and they had to report it, so they reported to the empress and the palace commanders respectively.
Report. But at this time, Zhao Bing couldn't look happy. He knew that leaving these volunteers in the house was unfair and could easily be criticized. He had to find a way to earn a status for them so that this team could be released
