161 Heart-to-heart
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the relief grain arrived in Qingping County. Because of the presence of the prince and the governor, Qingping County is fortunate to be the first county and town to distribute relief food.
In addition to handling official duties, Liu Weizhi also had to inspect the disaster relief situation, and five cauldrons were placed at the gate of the city to give porridge non-stop. The team meandered out of more than three miles like a swimming dragon, and it was so dense that people felt clogged when they saw it.
Chen Qing took the initiative to ask Ying to help with the porridge, and the four brothers of the Liang family plus Liao Fanzhi were sent to each village to count the heads. It is said that it is not the turn of people outside the yamen to intervene in this matter, and the Liang family is not willing to do this thankless drudgery.
However, the little prince "believed" in the Liang family, not only entrusted the whole family with important responsibilities, but also repeatedly stated that he must ensure that each person has ten catties of miscellaneous grains.
With a handle in his hand, the little prince is not merciful, and Liang Zijun, who has only slept once in the past three days, pounced in front of Chen Qing with an unkempt face, and shouted with trembling lips, "Daughter-in-law...... I'm starving......"
The crowd was dissatisfied with Liang Zijun's behavior of cutting in line, and the two officials tried their best to stop it, so as to cause chaos and looting.
"Whoever dares to take a step forward, carefully grasp this big knife in his hand! Wait for me, whoever dares to rob, the yamen will not only take back the porridge shed but also not give you these things!"
Chen Qing pulled the person aside, took a bowl of gruel and reprimanded, "If you don't listen to you in a yamen gown, what will you do if you are beaten to death as a homeless person next time?"
"Let me eat enough first, and then talk about ......" Liang Zijun snorted and drank two bowls of porridge before wiping his mouth and smiled, "Ye is really born up, the first time to do this drudgery"
"You deserve it, if you don't commit a crime, can you let people arrest you as a strong man?" Chen Qing glanced at him angrily, and asked again, "Does the prince really believe it?"
Liang Zijun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If you believe it, you won't hold on to me and Liao Fanzhi...... Hey, that guy hasn't come back yet?"
"Come on" Chen Qing looked at the sky and waved his hand to Su Ying, who was also dressed in coarse cloth, "Come here and rest!
Su Ying wiped her hands and stamped over with a worried look in her eyes, "Let's help do things, can we really make the prince spare his husband? Why don't I believe that such a good thing can happen in the sky? Not to mention that he is the prince, even ordinary officials have no reason to violate the law to help the criminal, right?"
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as Brother Liao does things well, he can ensure that he is thorough" Liang Zijun squinted his eyes and took a nap, leaving half of his words to appease Su Ying at will.
"What do you say?" Chen Qing asked as he twisted his ears.
"Hey~~ It hurts! Doesn't he always feel that he can't meet his talents, and he can't show his ambitions when he is born in business? Ye This is a chance for him to ask for a chance to break his merits, and it is better to follow the prince than to go to prison and kill his head, right?" Liang Zijun stretched out his hand and wiped it on his neck.
"Then how can you go to Longtan Tiger's Den?" I'm afraid that my husband will be hindered everywhere and die again, so it's better to go to jail......" Su Ying listened to the urgency, and refused to let her husband get into danger.
The prince knew that his husband was guilty and pardoned him for some reason, but he wanted his husband to do some shady deeds or do some extremely dangerous errands. The usual trick of the master to regain his henchmen is nothing more than a combination of favor and grace, and he hopes that his subordinates are willing to give up their lives to complete the task loyally.
Liao Fanzhi happened to come back, pressed his daughter-in-law's shoulder and whispered, "If he has a heart, his master will be charged with killing his head...... Besides, how do you know that you can't come and go freely in that Longtan Tiger's Den?"
Su Ying leaned on that broad chest and sighed, "There's no other way?"
"It's only five years, the right is to travel, you should be happy that your master can get what he wants," Liao Fanzhi lowered his voice and said with relief.
"How can Su Ying feel at ease? What if her husband brings his wife with him? My father still has some connections in the court, for my sake, he won't let go" Su Ying looked sad and worried.
…………
Chen Qing and the others turned around silently, leaving the space for the little two to whisper.
"What about you?" asked Chen Qing in a deep voice.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Liang Zijun pretended to be stupid.
"Don't come to this set, I don't believe you didn't sell yourself to the top account" Chen Qing grabbed Liang Zijun's arm and didn't let him dodge.
"Hey...... I really can't hide anything from you, don't worry, doesn't the lord have evidence to prove his innocence? He doesn't dare to force me" Liang Zijun sneered, and raised his eyebrows smugly and smiled, "You know how capable your family is, right? Even the prince is favored, so he has to pull the master into the office......"
"Get out! If you want to enter the office, you should also be admitted in a dignified manner, what kind of glorious thing is it to be held hostage to enter the office? I'm afraid that he has bad intentions and wants you two to make a contribution!" Chen Qing was angry that he thought too beautifully, and he didn't hurry to joke at this time.
"That's why I introduced Brother Liao to him! How did you do the errand of avoiding people's eyes? Even if you enter the office, you should first get a top three glorious lintel," Liang Zijun teased his daughter-in-law with a smile.
"Don't be poor, can you not go or don't go, our family has not stopped recently, if you don't join the office, the whole family will be frightened? Let's talk about the ...... in Beijing" Chen Qing turned his eyes halfway through speaking, lowered his voice and said, "I have to go to the letter in time, otherwise I will collide with the prince, and I will have to go to the end!"
Liang Zijun hurriedly said that he would not dare to cause trouble again, if possible, he would definitely push the prince's solicitation to be a civilian.
Busy with the distribution of disaster relief food, and catch up with the Lantern Festival is approaching, the residents of the county and town feel the great grace of the prince, and have made palace lanterns to give to King Jing, in order to thank him for eliminating violence and peace, and relieving sentient beings.
Xia Jingyu has nothing to do, and he also intends to make his debut at the Lantern Festival and have fun with the people, Liang Zijun affectionately found the usual craftsmen to create a new and magnificent lantern for the prince.
After getting along for a few days in a row, the two guys often got together to drink and write poems, and they talked nonsense. Xia Jingyu is really knowledgeable and well-informed, while Liang Zijun is better at dancing with long sleeves and is accustomed to doing what he likes.
Every time Liu Weizhi was with him for less than an hour, he spontaneously retired. These two people, one wolf and the other embarrassed, got together and just made a pair! A lot of rhetoric Liang Zijun is a little thorough, and without waiting for a deep talk, the two of them jumped to a deeper topic, but Liu Weizhi still thought about it slowly, how can this preface not match the afterword?
Talking about the fun story of the Lantern Festival in his spare time, Liang Zijun also recalled the thunder and fire next to the river lantern, and his expression was as cunning and weird as a fishy old cat in an instant. Liu Weizhi, who was looking straight at him, scolded him for being indecent and wiped his face, and explained with a straight face, "Am I so out of tune? It's just remembering Jing's wife, why do you let Lord Liu dislike it so much?"
"What did you do to Chen Qing to laugh so obscenely?" Liu Weizhi stared at Liang Zijun strangely, and then thought about Chen Qing's seemingly decent but really sullen virtues, wiped his face, got up and scolded with a slight red ear, "Not right!"
"Hey......" Liang Zijunyao pointed to the drinking friend who left the table angrily, and smiled helplessly at King Jing, "I didn't say anything, why did he suddenly open up at this moment?"
"Hahaha......" Xia Jingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud when the person walked away, patted Liang Zijun on the shoulder and sneered, "Fake serious! haha...... This is a false seriousness......"
Liang Zijun raised his eyebrows, held his chin and muttered, "When the husband and wife perform the weekly ceremony, it is justifiable, what is there to be ashamed of?"
"Aren't you afraid of being treated as a broken sleeve and a lot of disease?" Xia Jingyu played with the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Liang Zijun curiously.
This husband and wife are also peculiar, one has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, the other is handsome and graceful, and their faces are among the best among their children. Especially that little brother, he doesn't bring a streamer, if no one mentions it, the world has to be regarded as a real man worthy of entrusting for life.
Xia Jingyu admits that he has read countless people, but he has rarely seen a special brother like Chen Qing. is not only calm, but also quite responsible, there are really not many people who can pass three moves in front of him, especially when he is still an official as a woman.
Chen Qing is not arrogant, not impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, he has never said inappropriate words beyond his identity, but he is not as humble as a woman.
Thinking of this, Xia Jingyu couldn't help but deeply observe Liang Zijunlai, the reason why he had the heart to solicit, and he wanted to attribute it to his subordinates regardless of his guilt, was still to take a fancy to his calm and self-control. At a young age, he was clear-minded and ruthless, and if such a cunning person made good use of it, it would not be difficult for him to be a powerful helper, but if he was allowed to let himself go, he was very likely to become a squire bully and a party to the disaster.
Liang Zijun is as cunning as a rabbit, cautious, and as cunning and decisive as a courtier, he is good at pushing disasters and preventing disasters. If it weren't for this son who still retains a pure heart and is willing to stick a knife in his friend's ribs, even if he says that he is broken, it will be embarrassing and useful.
"Incredible......" Xia Jingyu shook his head and chuckled after thinking about it.
"How do you say that?" King Jing suddenly sighed like this, which really made Liang Zijun, who was accustomed to speculating on people's hearts, puzzled, and couldn't help asking.
"With a temperament like yours, you should try your best to get out, why can't you figure out how to cover up for your friends? If you are afraid of joint crimes, some methods are to seal your mouth, why do you need to risk your own life, advance and retreat together?" Xia Jingyu really couldn't guess why Liang Zijun was such a person with a heart, how could he be not afraid of power and dare to take risks?
"Huh...... It's just righteousness!" Liang Zijun curled the corners of his lips smugly. Many people misunderstood him, and he didn't bother to explain, so he laughed at himself and said, "Why do you need to say some things, as long as the person who treats you sincerely, you are enough!"
"Oh?" Xia Jingyu frowned and pondered for a moment, and raised his glass with envy, "A confidant is hard to find, and this king has never been lucky enough to have a blue face, so he can't see through it."
"No, Bole needs to take the initiative to get close to Maxima if he wants to meet him, otherwise a good horse is ashamed to show his talent like a donkey" Liang Zijun drank the wine in the cup, and looked at the office of the Yamen with a light smile, and the meaning was beyond words.
"Well, looking for a confidant in wine...... It's a pity that this king is one step later than that" Xia Jingyu smiled, and became more and more fond of this Liang Zijun, who was cunning at the beginning, but was actually loyal.
The heart-to-heart conversation between the two did make King Jing have a great change in his opinion of Liang Zijun, and the previous assumptions were to use it to stir up the power of the DPRK and China, but after three rounds of drinking, they felt sorry for each other, and they couldn't bear to be limited by the turbulence of deceit in the DPRK and China.
But let him let him go back to the mountains and forests, and he was very sorry, even so, if he placed it on Wei's side, he could also make plans for the wood to shield from disasters.
Thinking of the wood Liu Weizhi, Xia Jingyu really took great pains, and it is not an exaggeration to describe Liu Weizhi's openness with a pure heart, but such an upright and strong person, if no one mentions it from the side, it is really hard to imagine what kind of transformation he will experience after entering the court.
I think that the Imperial Doctor is also a very deep disciple, so he can't bear to put himself in danger, right? If you let that wood explore its own way, you have to hit your head and bleed.
The court is not as comfortable as the Hanlin Academy, once involved, it is difficult to protect oneself, with Liang Zijun on the side, it can help him avoid risks and grow into a pillar of talent as soon as possible.
After a long time of confidants with a thousand cups, Liu Weizhi came back after dealing with official business and took a look, good guys! The wine jar was in a mess, and the two of them also drew a wine order, and shouted angrily, "If you are really idle, if you are really idle, if you supervise the affairs of the county government on your behalf, you can let me go back to the state capital to do the post of governor!"
Liang Zijun responded drunkenly, "Okay...... County...... Hiccup~ I haven't been a person yet, but I'm really interested in doing it for me!"
"Hey...... Wei Zhi, come on, come on, drink three cups with this king, just let him do the tedious things on his behalf, you and I haven't talked well for a few days......" Xia Jingyu narrowed her eyes slightly and clapped her hands in praise, waved her hand to send Liang Zijun away, pulled someone to the side, and drunkenly snorted wine.
"The next official takes the order!" Liang Zijun said goodbye without humility, and when he went out of the door, he was blown by the wind, and then he secretly muttered, "Drink too much, you!"
Liu Weizhi and the others walked away, and then they lowered their faces and reprimanded: "The prince is self-respecting! No matter how you say that you are also a dignified king, how can you accept the affairs of the official family at will?"
“…… Hmm~ It's just a joke, it shouldn't be true! Wei Zhi, this king has a headache" Xia Jingyu closed his eyes and leaned on Liu Weizhi's shoulder, rubbing his head vaguely.
Liu Weizhi moved his shoulder, and saw that the person who was lying on him still slipped as if he had no bones, so he immediately held the person's shoulder, stiffened his body and called for "send a bowl of sobering soup to the prince"
When the sobering soup came, the drunk King Jing refused to drink it, and the angry Liu Weizhi opened his mouth and forcibly poured it in. After Xia Jingyu was choked up, he put the bowl on the table and said angrily, "Drink it yourself when you wake up!"
Xia Jingyu rubbed the corners of his aching forehead, and the scoundrel reprimanded, "I'm the prince~ so unhappy to let you serve once?"
"The prince should also rely on his identity, lead by example, and should not be difficult for his subordinates......" Liu Weizhi gave the little prince a good lesson with courtesy, righteousness and shame.
"Shut up! verbose!" Xia Jingyu blew his face impatiently, annoying his strength to do anything at every turn. took out the prince's shelf and shouted, "Help the king to rest on the couch!"
It is rare to see King Jing stretching his face to train people, Liu Wei is a stalk, and he helps people to the side of the collapse with hard work, and bows down to obey orders.
"Wide clothes" Xia Jingyu closed his eyes and spread his arms, forgetting who he was talking to a moment ago, and naturally commanded the little slave to untie his clothes.
Liu Weizhi looked up in surprise and just wanted to call the little servant to enter the door, when he saw the prince impatiently waving his hand and patting him on the back of the head, and shouted: "If you dare not listen to the king's orders, you can't find death?
Liu Weizhi blinked, at a loss for the prince who changed his face, and saw that people were drunk and confused, so he had to take a deep breath and do it on his behalf...... Halfway through the untie of the pocket, King Jing couldn't bear to do it himself, and the more anxious he was, the pocket was pulled into a dead knot, and the angry Xia Jingyu sat on the couch and scolded, "Get out of me!"
Liu Weizhi's bluffed leg was weak, so he fell to the ground like a slave and shouted for the prince to spare his life, how can this still talk and laugh and be eclectic and immodest prince?
Unloading the treacherous face like a smiling tiger, Xia Jingyu closed his eyes and reprimanded, and without waiting for Liu Weizhi to answer, he shouted, "Take a photo!"
"My subordinates are here!" the shadow guard jumped off the beam without knowing it, and knelt silently to obey the order.
"Drag it down and kill it! This king doesn't have idlers around him! Who dares to send such a clumsy thing to this king? Pull it down and check it well, and if you want to put eyeliner next to this king, you don't pick a clever ......" Xia Jingyu sneered, suddenly opened his eyes, and glanced at the shadow guard with a dazzling eye...... Liu Weizhi......
Liu Weizhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and when he suddenly heard that there was eyeliner inserted around the prince, he couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, who was so bold? Even King Jing dared to install a fine work around him...... Suddenly, I trembled all over, and cold sweat covered my back.
It is said that the companion is like a tiger, King Jing is the most favored son of the first emperor, there are many rumors in the court that King Jing is a well-deserved orthodoxy, if he has no intention of succeeding to the throne, he should be enthroned as the emperor from the age of 10...... Without waiting for Liu Weizhi to think carefully about the possibilities, Xia Jingyu had already come back to his senses, scolded secretly, rubbed the corner of his forehead and muttered, "Uh...... Wei Zhi~ I said how clumsy, this king really drank too much today, you go down first"
Liu Wei muttered angrily in his heart, you are clumsy! I don't know who tied the clothes into a dead knot......
After Liu Weizhi bowed down and retired, and after walking out of the main hall, he couldn't help but speculate that there was no family affection in the emperor's family, and it was not a true temperament to think that King Jing was so idle, but a side that was deliberately shown to the world out of helplessness. If it weren't for what he saw today, even he would have thought that this idle prince was really as idle and ridiculous as everyone knew.
Xia Jingyu waited for people to go away, and then frowned and ordered the shadow guard to wait for a change of clothes. Lying on the bed, I couldn't help but roll over and smile, this guy shouldn't be stunned by his true face, ......right? Let's hope it doesn't scare him.
