Chapter 379: Prince Li
Jiang Yi, the prince of Songming, personally came to ask Bai Yu to come out and assist in the management of the deceased.
This is equivalent to the permission of the prince to send a funeral, which should be very beneficial to Bai Yu.
However, Bai Yu decisively refused.
If Xiao Leiguan wants to gain a foothold in Songming, the most important thing is to be detached from the world and not be contaminated by the power of the dynasty.
It is self-inflicted to hook up with the prince, not to mention a dying prince.
Otherwise, the five major local sects will join forces to attack the outside world, and Bai Yu, a golden elixir, will not be able to resist.
Even the Leiyang Sect cannot send a bunch of Yuanying to stay in the vassal state.
However, the next day, Bai Yu found the crazy Taoist.
"Brother, there are too many deaths this year."
The crazy Taoist was holding a broken bowl and huddled in a corner to beg for food.
"Yes, too many."
Bai Yu's eyes were leisurely:
"With many deaths, there will be more resentment. When resentment arises, demons will easily grow."
"I want to do some work."
The crazy Taoist looked 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 won't send demons to the world again."
"It's too difficult to subdue demons and defend the way. As the Leiyang Demon Suppression Lieutenant, I am not capable of it."
His meaning was very clear. He would do it even if the prince didn't come.
His only goal was to suppress demons.
He would only take action when it came to matters related to demons and demons.
The crazy Taoist held a broken bowl and laughed strangely:
"Hehehe, accumulate some virtue for the world, accumulate some virtue, accumulate some virtue."
He sang and danced, and walked towards the direction of the palace.
On the second day, Emperor Renwu of Songming Kingdom issued an order to confer the title of Bai Yu, the head of Xiaolei Temple, as the second-class Yuguo Zhenjun.
He also allocated 100,000 taels of gold and 100 miles of wasteland, allowing Xiaolei Temple to recruit people on its own to take charge of funeral affairs inside and outside the capital.
All floating corpses without owners can be buried.
With the emperor's order, Bai Yu immediately started to gather soil and stone with great magic power, and built a charity cemetery outside the capital.
He also formed a corpse collection team of several hundred people and began to collect corpses and bury them.
He worked almost day and night, and I don't know how many people were buried.
The news on the Burial World Record popped up one after another.
[Successfully buried the warrior Li Dachui, and received basic rewards: strength +8, life experience +378! ]
[You can choose an additional reward: Tiger Power Saber, Horsemanship, Qi and Blood +32. ]
...
[Subordinates successfully buried and received rewards: Wen Qi +3, Life Experience +121! 】
…
[Subordinates successfully attend the funeral and receive rewards: Strength +2, Life Experience +68! 】
…
A series of funeral rewards came, although not much, and the optional rewards were not of high grade, but a little bit adds up to a lot, which is very impressive.
Bai Yu's strength increased to more than 4 million pounds, and his blood and qi were not inferior to the top-level martial gods.
In addition, he almost learned the skills of all walks of life, such as ironmaking, fortune-telling, fishing, tailoring...
This winter, the court allocated money and grain, opened porridge stalls, and the prince personally supervised and brought doctors from the imperial hospital to see patients with everyone.
Bai Yu buried the dead and resolved the grievances.
This difficult winter was passed peacefully, without riots or plague.
With the arrival of spring, refugees from several states began to return home for spring ploughing.
And among the people, some people began to privately build a shrine for the prince.
Bai Yu also got a name, called the Venerable Anfen Quwen Plague
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu actually collected a lot of faith power, which was a pleasant surprise.
In the 93rd year of Renwu, in June, the prince rebelled, cursed his father and emperor with witchcraft, and attacked the palace with troops, but failed.
Prince Jiang Yi was captured by the imperial guards, given poisoned wine, and posthumously named Prince Li.
More than 200 people in the prince's mansion were killed.
In the same month, the fourth prince Jiang Chen was made the prince, and the eighth prince Jiang Jing was summoned to the capital and named the general king.
Various rumors about the former prince began to spread among the people.
What about cursing his father, having sex with hundreds of women every day, forcibly robbing women, embezzling the relief grain allocated by the emperor, and killing the victims of several states.
And the current prince Jiang Chen is close to the people and benevolent. He made a petition for disaster relief and saved the people of several states.
Those who knew about it did not dare to argue, and could only watch the polar reversal of public opinion.
Bai Yu stood at the door of the Zangshi Hall, listening to the noisy discussions and sighing in his heart.
The people's hearts can be guided.
If you control public opinion, you can turn black into white and call a deer a horse.
Those who plead for the people will die and their families will be exterminated, and they will be condemned by thousands of people.
Those who oppress the good will be in high positions in the temple and respected by the people.
He turned his head and looked inside the house.
There were 207 coffins neatly arranged inside.
Today, the Zangshi Hall has become the official funeral site of Songming State.
Except for the burial of their own family, all officials and civilians will be sent to the Zangshi Hall for burial, even the royal family is no exception.
Bai Yu walked to a big red coffin, in which was lying the Crown Prince Jiang Yi.
Bai Yu seemed to be talking to himself:
"When he came to my house that day, I knew he would not live long, but I didn't expect it to be true."
At this time, Xiao Tongtong was sitting on Bai Yu's shoulder and asked in confusion:
"Master, I don't understand why the prince, who is obviously a good man, would rebel?"
Bai Yu looked at him leisurely:
"The prince did not rebel, it was the emperor who wanted him to rebel."
"Power is a man's aphrodisiac, and there is no family affection in the emperor's family."
"The more wise the prince is, the more he endangers the emperor's throne, so he will not live long."
There is one good thing about China on Blue Star, it likes to write history books.
Therefore, future generations can learn about the rise and fall of a country by looking at history.
The power of the emperor will not be shared with anyone.
As powerful as Emperor Wu of Han and as wise as Emperor Taizong of Tang, they began to abolish or even kill the crown prince when they were old.
And the First Emperor of Qin never liked his eldest son Fusu, who was known for his virtue.
And Emperor Renwu of Songming Kingdom also couldn't stand Jiang Yi, a crown prince with a good reputation.
This time, he killed the old crown prince and appointed the four kings with bad records as the crown prince, because the four kings had a bad reputation and could not threaten the throne.
Even so, Emperor Renwu was still uneasy and appointed the eight kings as the general kings to compete with the crown prince.
The most ruthless is the imperial family.
Bai Yu stopped talking and took out a paper man and burned it.
From then on, there was a little Taoist boy in Xiaolei Temple, with the surname Yi.
This was the best Bai Yu could do, using the art of paper cutting to make an adult to save a concubine's heir in the crown prince's mansion.
If you want to save the prince himself, I'm afraid you will immediately attract the suspicion of several major sects.
Bai Yu called his men and started to play the funeral.
A long suona song buried this "Cruel Prince".
[Successfully buried the late prince Jiang Yi, and get rewards: Wood Spirit Root +13, Life Experience +23.48 million! ]
[Optional rewards: Jiang's Martial Arts, Yuan Fu Explanation, Emperor Dragon Qi +563, Yi Mu Zhen Yuan Jue.]
[Funeral participation rate 86%, family satisfaction 56%, you can choose two additional rewards. ]
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows.
The prince actually burst out with the Emperor Dragon Qi.
