The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 23 Mobei is so scary, the young prince is so pitiful

Gu Yuzhi learned very quickly, and soon wanted to copy the "Three Character Classic" and mark it with pinyin so that he could find it later, but he didn't expect that his schoolwork was really heavy. He had two hours of enlightenment classes in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Martial arts class.

After school, I still have to write the homework assigned by the teachers, repeat Xie Changshi's explanations, and practice writing big characters. Before going to bed, I have to learn pinyin with Teacher Shu, trying to figure out how to mark the pinyin on the big characters I practice, and then because of the pinyin The large characters cannot be turned in and can only be written again.

Shu Xiaohan looked at Gu Yuzhi, whose face was obviously smaller, and fell into silence. She didn't want to burden him anymore, but he didn't cooperate and seemed to be enjoying it...

A few days later, it was finally the day for Gu Yuzhi to rest. He had been looking forward to it since he got up early in the morning, thinking about going to Changzhou Mansion for a visit. Unexpectedly, just after dinner, the concierge reported that Magistrate Qi was here.

Gu Yuzhi glanced at Xie Changshi and saw that he was also confused, and hurriedly asked someone to call Magistrate Qi in.

Magistrate Qi's face was pale, and there were thin beads of sweat hanging on his forehead. With a big movement, it fell down his cheeks. As soon as he entered the meeting hall, before Magistrate Qi could say anything, he trembled and knelt down. : "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Prefect Qi, please get up quickly." Gu Yuzhi jumped off the chair and stepped forward to help him up, but found that he couldn't do it. He had to turn his head and look at Xie Changshi, "Prefect Qi, what's going on?"

Qi Wenhan wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he found that nothing could come out. He was so angry that he kept beating the ground.

At this time, Xie Changshi finally discovered the man following Qi Wenhan. Half of his hair crown had fallen off, his clothes had many scratches, and his shoes were full of mud. When he raised his head, Xie Changshi Then his expression changed: "Eunuch Ran!"

This Eunuch Ran has an unusual identity. He is the godson of Zhao Xi, the general manager of the palace. Now that he appears in Changzhou in such a mess, I am afraid that there is something wrong with His Highness's reward!
At this moment, Gu Yuzhi also recognized Eunuch Ran and was stunned: "Eunuch Ran, why are you like this?" He glanced behind Eunuch Ran, "Are you the only one who came to Changzhou?"

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and Gu Yuzhi looked at him with eyes full of sympathy: "Eunuch Ran, is it Brother Huang who asked you to come to my place? Why didn't you come with us before? Are you feeling uncomfortable coming here alone? Scared."

Eunuch Ran is only a teenager, and he became a eunuch because of his young age. He has grown very slowly these years, and he does not look much older than Gu Yuzhi. He helped the emperor pass messages before, and he is relatively familiar with Gu Yuzhi, so This time, he is the supervisor of the Mid-Autumn Festival rewards from the emperor and all ladies.

Eunuch Ran looked at the concerned expression on the young prince's face, and his strong composure finally broke down, tears began to flow, and he knelt down with a bang: "Your Highness, this slave is guilty. The emperor's reward is on the way to Changzhou. , was robbed by bandits!"

He lay on the ground and cried softly at first, and then when he thought about the two days of escape, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Mobei is really terrible, the young prince is so pitiful!

"Reward?" Before Gu Yuzhi could be happy that the emperor had really given him a reward, he heard a bolt from the blue. His reward had actually been robbed by bandits!

The young prince snorted hard, trying hard to express his anger. He turned to look at Xie Changshi, and his voice was unconsciously aggrieved: "Xie Changshi, the reward given to me by the emperor was robbed by bandits!"

The reward he had been thinking about for so long was robbed by bandits before he even took a look at it!What is tolerable and what is intolerable!
Xie Changshi's eyes fell on Magistrate Qi, and he obviously did not expect that the Mobei mountain bandits were so courageous that they dared to rob the emperor's reward.

The Governor of Qi was so stared at by Xie Changshi that he broke out in cold sweat and cried out: "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is nothing we can do about this in Mobei! The Mobei army is far away in Quanzhou, and they haven't set off yet, and the bandits are here After knowing the news, they ran away cleanly, and after so many trips, the Mobei Army ignored our requests for help."

Magistrate Qi couldn't tell the truth about this: "Our government office is short of manpower, and we have joined forces with several surrounding prefectures to catch them off guard. Unexpectedly, these bandits relied on their familiarity with the terrain and seriously injured many of our men. us……"

These bandits are capable of killing thousands of people!
The more Magistrate Qi talked, the more he wanted to cry. If he had known, he would have resigned and returned home!
Xie Changshi comforted Gu Yuzhi in a low voice, and after coaxing Gu Yuzhi to sit down again, he looked at Ran Quan: "Eunuch Ran, you are the supervisor, do you have a reward list?"

"There are some." Ran Quan took out an oil paper bag from his arms and handed it over, "The list of rewards has not even left me."

Xie Changshi opened the list and looked at it with some disgust, then walked to Gu Yuzhi and whispered: "Your Highness, I looked at the rewards. In addition to jewelry, cloth and medicinal materials, the Emperor and several empresses gave His Highness a total of gold." 3000 taels.”

During this period of time, through Xie Changshi's education, Gu Yuzhi already roughly knew how to convert treasury silver. When he heard that gold was 3000 taels, Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table hard, and his face wrinkled in pain the next second. He got up and shook his hands fiercely. He didn't understand why the emperor liked to bang the table when he was angry.

He took a breath and felt even more aggrieved: "Xie Changshi, I want to get my reward back."

Xie Changshi nodded and said in a loud voice: "Go and call the Chief of Guard Qi over." After the outsiders left, he stared at Magistrate Qi and said: "Find a way to inform the magistrates of other states. It must be tonight." Bring all the detectives the government can bring to gather at His Highness's place."

Magistrate Qi nodded repeatedly, said goodbye to Gu Yuzhi in a hurry, and walked out quickly. He wrote several letters, tied them to a carrier pigeon and sent them out quickly, feeling the sweat on his forehead that had never dried and his heart beating like thunder. Only now did he feel a little calmer.

God bless, Bodhisattva bless, the reward must be recovered, otherwise his old life will be completely over!
After all the arrangements were made, Xie Changshi told Gu Yu: "Your Highness, what the prefect said is that these bandits have been in Mobei for a long time, and Your Highness wants to establish a foothold in Mobei. Now is a good time.”

Gu Yuzhi knew that despite his young age, some people looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts even though he had the title of prince. He could clearly detect this from the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

He was a little worried and said: "But, I feel like some of them won't send people here."

"It doesn't matter if we don't send anyone, it's not them we're counting on. Your Highness just needs to write down the names of these prefects and talk about it later."

tell you later?

Gu Yuzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Changshi, always feeling that Xie Changshi was teaching him something amazing.
