Prince Qi's Mansion, in the study room of the back hall.

After Lao Qi had an attack, Master Wang hurriedly comforted him and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the problem is actually not big. It doesn't freeze three feet in a day, and the anger of the people of Yanzhou cannot be eliminated overnight. Pindao sent his proud disciple again." If you go and take charge, Yanzhou will definitely get into trouble on time."

"As long as Yanzhou is in chaos, other places will soon follow." Duan Shi continued: "Don't forget, Your Majesty, there are many people who want to take our boat."

"Yes, Your Majesty, those local snakes also need chaos in Shandong, so we just need to set up the stage and don't worry about no one singing." Zhu Yong also cheered him up and said:

"Besides, we are not rebelling, we are counterinsurgency. What is there to worry about?"

"Having said that..." Lao Qi still said with hesitation on his face: "But once it is launched, can we control the situation? Can we trap my brothers and nephews in Yanzhou as we wish? Can we get my father to agree to my terms? , no one can say for sure, right?”

"Of course we can't say for sure, but one thing is that those two families have made it clear that they support the prince as the talker of Shandong." Master Wang said in a deep voice:

"With the support of those two families, is the prince still afraid that he won't be able to defeat the sixth child?"

"Alas, I still have no bottom." Lao Qi muttered for a long time as if he was constipated, then he choked out a stinky fart: "Anyway, I haven't taken action yet, so if it doesn't work, just forget it?"

"Forget it?" The three of them were speechless when they heard this, and cursed secretly, if you are so afraid of Lao Liu, then just don't bother with it in the first place!

It was you who became furious after hearing that your brother was stupid and that your mother and concubine were thrown into the cold palace. You insisted on leading troops to Nanjing to save people. He also swore to heaven, cried bitterly, and said that he would not kill Lao Liu and that he would not be a human being. We just helped you plan this big show.

Now that the stage is set up, makeup is put on, and the audience is here, you say you won’t act anymore. Can you stop being so lazy? !

"Forget it, Your Majesty!" Wang Zhenren said anxiously: "We have already agreed to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival event. Today is August 13th. Now that we are canceling it, there is no time to inform us."

"Yes, Your Highness, the whole of Shandong is destined to be in chaos the day after tomorrow, and even gods can't change it." Duan Shiqiang suppressed the gloating in his heart, and said with a sad face: "Don't think about the cancellation, just deal with it with determination! "

"If they make trouble, let them go. I don't have to get involved," King Qi said.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. That will completely disappoint the Shandong gentry. Without their support, we will have no roots! What the court wants to do to us is just a matter of words." Duan Shi hurriedly advised: "Besides, King Lu's example is right in front of us. Does the prince still have a way out?"

Duan Shi's last words were like a heavy hammer hitting King Qi's heart, leaving him speechless.

"Yes, Your Majesty. After Lao Liu has cleaned up Prince Lu's mess, the next step is to deal with the Prince!" Zhu Yong nodded heavily and said, "He has no enmity with Prince Lu, and he can be so ruthless. He and Prince Lu have no grudges. The prince is incompatible with water and fire, I can’t even imagine what he will do to the prince!”

He didn't know what Lao Liu would do to Lao Qi, but he knew that his group of King Qi's minions would probably take the blame for his own prince. Based on what they have done in Qingzhou over the years, once it is verified, confiscating their homes and beheading them is a minor matter.

They also saw the imperial edict issued by King Luo Lu and his wife the day before yesterday. As for Boss Zhu’s partiality for taking medicine when his son is sick and his daughter-in-law is sick, he is definitely not unfounded!

So when Lao Qi was impulsive, they fanned the flames, and when Lao Qi was scared, they held on to him to prevent him from retreating.

And they also know how to persuade him very well. Every word you say to me will make Lao Qi more angry.

As soon as he thought of what a tragic end he would have if he fell into the hands of Lao Liu, Lao Qi couldn't care less about anything and fiercely threw his glass and said, "Then fuck her mother!"

~~

Just when His Highness King Qi finally made up his mind, all townships in Yanzhou simultaneously posted a notice to calm the people, announcing to all Yanzhou elders——

In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and compensate King Lu for the harm he caused to the elders of Yanzhou, starting from August 15th, the imperial court will distribute benefits to the people of Yanzhou. Everyone will receive benefits until the end of the month!

There is no need for everyone to run errands, just wait at home with peace of mind. Officials will distribute them uniformly at the entrance of each village every day. And the things I send out every day are not the same.

The notice lists all benefits and payment times in detail:

On August 15th, each person has a moon cake; on August 16th, each person has an egg; on August 17th, each person has a duck egg; on the 18th, one preserved egg; on the 19th, 2 taels of dried noodles; on the 20th, 2 taels of noodles Oil.

Twenty-one, two ounces of wine; twenty-two, two ounces of soy sauce; twenty-three, two ounces of vinegar; twenty-four, one ounce of tea; twenty-five, one ounce of salt.

Twenty-six, twenty taels of bacon; twenty-seven, a hairy crab; twenty-eight, a carp; twenty-nine, a foot of cloth; thirty, a chicken!

In order for the common people to understand, patterns were drawn on the back of each item. A wine bottle was drawn behind the wine, and an oil jar was drawn behind the oil... so it looked so dazzling that the common people couldn't take it off.

"Are these things for us?" After listening to the county health officer's lecture, the people couldn't believe their ears.

"You can't be bluffing, right? How can such a good thing be possible?"

"Of course it's true! Don't you see here?" The student pointed at the two big red seals on the notice: "This is the prince's private seal, and this is the official seal of the prefect's Yamen. You think you can bluff Bad?"

"That's not possible." The people shook their heads. The compensation promised by the prince before, whether it was for the children or those who were forcibly demolished, was all paid on the spot and would not be in arrears, so his credit has been established.

"That's right! This is the Bodhisattva's heart. He feels sorry for us Yanzhou elders who have suffered in the past two years, so he devoted all his money to reward us!" The staff worked hard to say good things for the Sixth Prince: "We have finally come to the end of our hardships. Such a good prince who loves his people like his own son!”

"Yes, yes, the prince is really a living Bodhisattva!" The people nodded vigorously. Whoever can give them so many good things is their only myth.

"But why can't these things be distributed in one day and do we have to receive them every day?" Someone asked after being grateful.

"Isn't this nonsense? How many people are there in Yanzhou? Can all these things be distributed in one day?!" The health worker said with an expression of "Are you an idiot?" "If you distribute the same thing in one day, the officer will be exhausted. "

"What you said makes sense," everyone nodded in understanding.

"In addition, the notice also said that in order to prevent fraudulent claims, first, you must collect it in person, and you are not allowed to collect it on behalf of others. Second, you must collect it continuously, and you cannot collect it again after one day."

The student then reminded everyone loudly: "But remember, don't roll around and cry when others don't have you!"
