Chapter 379 The Brutal Prince
Jiang Yi, the crown prince of Songming Kingdom, personally came to ask Bai Yu to come out and help manage the affairs of the deceased.
This is equivalent to a funeral permission from the prince, which is logically very beneficial to Bai Yu.
However, Bai Yu decisively refused.
If Xiaoleiguan wants to gain a foothold in Songming Kingdom, the most important thing is to stay aloof and not be tainted by the power of the dynasty.
Hooking up with a prince is asking for trouble, let alone a dying prince.
Otherwise, if the five major local sects join forces to attack the outside world, Bai Yu's golden elixir will not be able to resist it.
Even the Leiyang Sect cannot send a bunch of Nascent Souls to stay in the subordinate countries.
But the next day, Bai Yu found the madman.
"Brother Dao, too many people have died this year."
The mad Taoist was holding a broken bowl and huddled in a corner begging for food.
"Yeah, too many."
Bai Yu’s eyes were long:
"The more people die, the greater the resentment. When resentment arises, it is easier for demons to grow."
"I want to do some work."
The mad Taoist glanced at Bai Yu:
"Did the prince say that yesterday?"
Bai Yu shook his head and said:
"It has nothing to do with him. I just want to accumulate some virtue for this world, so that God will not send another demon down to earth."
"It's really difficult to conquer demons and defend the way. As a Leiyang Demon Suppressor, I'm powerless."
His meaning was very clear, he would still do it without the prince coming.
His goal is only to suppress the demon.
He will only take action on things related to monsters and cultivators.
The mad Taoist held a broken bowl and said with a strange smile:
"Hehehehehe, accumulate some virtue for the world, accumulate some virtue, accumulate some virtue."
He sang and danced and walked towards the palace.
On the second day, Emperor Renwu of Songming Kingdom issued a decree, honoring Bai Yu, the master of Xiaolei Temple, as the second-class true king of the country.
He also allocated one hundred thousand taels of gold and hundreds of miles of wasteland, and asked Xiaolei Guan to recruit people to take charge of funeral matters inside and outside the capital.
All floating corpses without owners can be buried.
With the emperor's decree, Bai Yu immediately set about to build a righteous village outside the capital by gathering soil and condensing stones with great magic power.
A corpse collection team of several hundred people was formed and began to collect the corpses for burial.
I worked almost day and night, and I don't know how many people were buried.
The messages on the burial record popped up one after another.
[Successfully bury warrior Li Dachui and obtain basic rewards: strength +8, life experience +378! 】
[You can choose an additional reward: Tiger Saber, Equestrian Skill, Vitality +32. 】
…
[The subordinate's funeral was successful and he received the reward: Literary Qi +3, Life Experience +121! 】
…
[The subordinate was buried successfully and received rewards: Strength +2, Life Experience +68! 】
…
A series of funeral rewards came. Although they were not many, and the grades of the optional rewards were not high, they were very impressive.
Bai Yu's strength has increased to more than four million kilograms, and his energy and blood are so strong that he is not inferior to the top-level martial gods.
In addition, he has learned almost all skills in all walks of life, such as blacksmithing, fortune telling, fishing, tailoring...
In the winter of this year, the imperial court allocated money and food to open a porridge shed. The prince came to supervise the operation in person, and also brought doctors from the Imperial Hospital to treat people.
Bai Yu buries the deceased and resolves the injustice.
This difficult winter passed safely, without riots or plague.
With the arrival of spring, refugees in several states begin to return to their hometowns for spring plowing.
Among the people, some began to build a shrine for the prince in private.
Bai Yu also mixed up his name with the name Lord Anfen Qubing.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu actually collected a lot of power of faith, which was an unexpected surprise.
In the ninth year of Renwu's reign, in June of Xia, the prince rebelled, used witchcraft to kill his father, and raised troops to attack the palace, but failed.
Prince Jiang Yi was captured by the imperial army, given poisonous wine, and given the posthumous title of Prince Brutal.
More than 200 people in the prince's residence were killed.
In the same month, the fourth prince Jiang Chen was made the crown prince, and the eighth prince Jiang Jing was summoned to the capital and granted the title of Grand General King.
Various rumors about the old prince began to spread among the people.
What kind of curse was it to kill his own father, to rob hundreds of daughters of the Japanese emperor, to rob civilian daughters, to kill the food relief funds allocated by the greedy emperor, to kill the victims of disasters in several states?
But now the prince Jiang Chen, who is close to the people and benevolent, went out to provide disaster relief and saved the people of several states.
Those who knew the situation did not dare to argue and could only watch the polarization of public opinion reverse.
Bai Yu stood at the door of the Burial Hall, listening to the noisy discussions in his ears, and sighed in his heart.
People's hearts can be guided.
Once you have a grasp of public opinion, you can confuse right and wrong and call a deer a horse.
Those who ask for orders for the people will die, and their clan will be destroyed, and they will be criticized by thousands of people.
Those who oppress good people live in temples and are respected by the people.
He turned to look inside the house.
There were 207 coffins neatly arranged inside.
Today's Burial Hall has become the official burial place of Songming Kingdom.
Except for those buried in their own families, all officials and civilians are sent to the Burial Hall for burial, even the royal family is no exception.
Bai Yu walked to a red coffin, inside which lay the ruthless prince Jiang Yi.
Bai Yu seemed to be talking to himself:
"That day when he came to my door, I knew that he would not live long, but I didn't expect that to be the case."
At this time, Xiao Tongtong was sitting on Bai Yu's shoulder and asked puzzledly:
"Master, I don't understand. The prince is obviously a good person, why would he rebel?"
Bai Yu’s eyes were long:
"The prince did not rebel, it was the emperor who asked him to rebel."
"Power is a man's aphrodisiac, and there is no family affection in an emperor's family."
"The wiser the prince is, the more he will endanger the emperor's throne, and his life will soon be over."
There is something good about China on Blue Star, and it likes to compile history books.
Therefore, when future generations look at history, they can know the gains and losses of rise and fall.
The emperor's authority will not be shared with anyone.
As powerful as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and as bright as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he began to depose and even kill the prince when he was old.
There was also the First Emperor, who had always disliked his eldest son Fusu, who was quite famous.
Emperor Renwu of Songming Kingdom also couldn't tolerate the well-known prince Jiang Yi.
This time, he killed the old prince and appointed the four notorious princes as princes. It was because the four princes had poor reputations and could not threaten the throne.
Even so, Emperor Renwu was still uneasy and appointed eight kings as general kings to fight with the prince.
Ruthlessness is the most imperial family.
Bai Yu stopped talking, took out a piece of paper and burned it.
From then on, there was a little Taoist boy named Yi in Xiaolei Temple.
This is the best Bai Yu can do, using the art of paper-cutting to save a concubine in the Prince's Mansion.
If you want to protect the crown prince himself, I am afraid that you will immediately attract doubts from several major sects.
Bai Yu greeted his subordinates and began to play funeral music.
A long suona song mourned the "violent prince".
[Successfully buried the late prince Jiang Yi and received rewards: Wood Spirit Root +13, life experience +23.48 million! 】
[Optional rewards: Jiang Family Martial Arts, Essence of Yuan Talisman, Emperor Dragon Qi +563, Yimu True Yuan Jue.]
[The funeral participation rate is 86%, the family satisfaction is 56%, and you can choose two additional rewards. 】
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows.
The prince's body actually erupted with the emperor's dragon energy.
