Chapter 466: The Envoy's Words Are Amazing
After Li Heng and Li Xuan greeted each other, they looked at the group of embarrassed people behind Lao Zongzheng. www.biquge.info Most of these people were his brothers or nephews, and they were supposed to live in beautiful houses, eat and drink, and enjoy life, but they suddenly encountered great calamity, and they all became refugees in one day, and I am afraid that if they wander outside for a few more days, they will be no different from beggars begging on the street!
Although the chaos in Chang'an was temporarily controlled, it still gave Li Heng too much stimulation, and it was really hard to imagine what would happen to these people if he really followed his father to Shuzhong and let Chang'an be broken by Sun Xiaozhe's rebels. He didn't even dare to think about it further!
Now Chang'an City is not peaceful, due to the chaos and evacuation, the city has been operating for more than 100 years of public security system collapsed. The doors could not be closed at sunset, and the doors were opened at sunrise, and even many of them were burned down in the fire. Therefore, Li Heng arranged for these people to enter the East Palace together with the children of the royal family who had been found in the city before.
After a whole day of cleaning, the idle people in the East Palace have been basically cleaned up, and although it is not in accordance with the etiquette system to let them live here, they can only do it expediently after the chaos.
"Brother Prince!"
A crisp voice suddenly made Li Heng's body stiffen, and he hurriedly followed the voice, but he couldn't find where the sound came from in a group of embarrassed people.
"Brother Prince, I'm here!"
The voice sounded again, and Li Heng's eyes finally locked on the crowd of people a few steps behind Li Xuan, a young man who looked dark, thin and small. The linen robe on his body was fat and large, and the whole person looked extremely incongruous when he was covered in it, and his face was also covered with dust, so that Li Heng hesitated, and he couldn't call out the name that had reached his lips.
The thin black boy finally squeezed out, and was about to run to Li Heng, but was grabbed by the collar by the old Zongzheng Li Xuan and carried back like a chicken.
"No rules, go back!"
The young man's eyes immediately turned red, but he couldn't hold back and didn't cry. Li Heng couldn't bear to see it, so he said:
"Zong Zhengqing ......"
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, from far and near.
The princes and grandsons were like frightened birds, and they all cowered together in fright, and some of them even cried with a whimper.
Lao Zongzheng Li Xuan shouted angrily:
"Crying bird, how can the Taizong bloodline be so cowardly!"
However, the rebuke didn't work, and the crowd still whimpered and shook their heads. The gate of the imperial city creaked and flashed open, and a single horse galloped in.
"It's Qin Envoy!"
Li Fuguo's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that the person who entered the imperial city was Qin Jin, and he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.
After sunset, no one or horse was allowed to enter or leave the imperial city, and even now this system had to be observed, so Qin Jin could only enter alone.
Li Heng didn't wait for Qin Jin to get off the horse, but actually stepped forward to hold the reins of the horse for him. Qin Jin secretly screamed that it was inappropriate, turned over and dismounted, and wanted to make a big salute, but was stopped by Li Heng again.
"Qin envoy, please accept Li Heng's worship!"
Frightened, Qin Jin hurriedly jumped away and helped Li Heng, who was bowing down.
"Your Highness has tormented the ministers......"
Li Heng insisted on bowing down.
"If it weren't for Qin Envoy Jun rescuing them from outside the city, I'm afraid that tomorrow the Sun Thief rebels will arrive...... Stand Li Heng's worship!"
Qin Jinyan was able to accept Li Heng's worship, but he also insisted on refusing. Zong Zhengqing Li Xuan couldn't look at it, and came to the two of them and said:
"The general was worshiped by the prince, and the prince respected the virtuous!"
With Li Xuan's statement, Qin Jin finally couldn't resist Li Heng's insistence and accepted his worship.
"The minister came back to repay His Highness and found one hundred and seventy-one people!"
Lee Hyung-do:
"If you make another great contribution, you should go back and rest early, and you will be in good spirits tomorrow......"
"The city defense division has not yet been completed, and the minister cannot sleep, so the minister will retire first!"
After a face-to-face with the crown prince, it was considered that he had an explanation for tonight's actions, Qin Jin got on his horse and left in a hurry, the work in the city was just as complicated, and he wished that it would take another seven days of hard work, and it would not be so hasty.
Seeing Qin Jin hurrying to leave, Li Xuan's expression was complicated, and he said heavily:
"If it weren't for the Son of Heaven's pro-villain Yuan Xianchen, my Datang would not be in danger today!"
criticized the Son of Heaven in public, if it was seven days ago, Li Xuan, even if he was Li Longji's cousin, would inevitably be reprimanded and even dismissed. But now, Li Longji has already fled to Shuzhong in disgrace, and there are not a few people who scold him behind his back.
Although Li Heng also agreed with Li Xuan's words, Li Longji was his father after all, so he always felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say that Li Xuan was not, so he could only smile awkwardly.
"Zong Zhengqing has been tired for many days, so he went back to the palace to rest early and recuperated his mental ......"
Li Xuan did not divert the topic from the donkey as Li Heng wished, but pointed the finger at Li Heng.
"The prince can't learn from Li Sanlang!"
Li Longji is the third among the brothers, so many people called him Li Sanlang before he ascended the throne, and now Li Xuan mentions his old name, and he is very dissatisfied with him. Li Xuan also has enough reason to be dissatisfied with Li Longji, such a strong Tang Dynasty has fallen into such a field in the hands of Li Longji, who can calm down?
Perhaps Li Xuan also realized that what he had just said in excitement was a bit excessive, so he softened his tone again.
"The prince can pick up a heavy burden when he is in danger, and the Tang Dynasty can't die, he can't die...... The old man is happy, happy......"
As he spoke, Li Xuan laughed loudly, and the old tears of laughter were all over the place...... Seeing that Lao Zong was losing his temper like this, everyone present was sad.
After laughing for a while, Li Xuan's spirit was a little sluggish, after all, he was very old, and no matter how hard his body was, he couldn't help tossing.
"The old man was tired and went back to rest. Then he turned back to the crowd and said, "Let's go, go back and rest!"
Li Heng had long intended to let Li Xuan go back to rest, but today he saw his mood fluctuate, for fear that he would have an accident. Suddenly, seeing the thin black boy following behind Li Xuan, with tears on his face, looking at himself pitifully, Li Heng beckoned with a soft heart:
"Worm Niang, come here!"
The boy burst into tears and laughed, picked up his fat robe and ran over. This time, Lao Zongzheng Li Xuan didn't stop him anymore and walked away. It's just that the princes and grandsons looked at the black and thin boy, and their eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Yes, the prince is now in power, and it is no longer what it used to be, and who is not envious and jealous of being able to get the prince's special care?
"Worm Niang thinks she'll never see the prince's brother again?"
Li Heng raised his hand and scratched the tip of the young man's nose, and said with a smile:
"See where the princess looks?"
This black and thin boy is the princess Shou'an who has just been crowned, and her milk name is called Worm Niang.
The insect girl blinked her eyes and said: "Fleeing outside, the more embarrassed the better, if you are dressed in brocade gold and jade, I am afraid that the prince's brother will not be able to see the insect girl now......"
Speaking of the encounter of fleeing outside, the insect girl slapped her chest, showing that she still had palpitations. There was a county lord who refused to give up his fancy clothes and was dragged away by thieves in the middle of the night and ruined, but fortunately he was not killed, so he was able to return to Chang'an with Li Xuan.
Li Heng laughed and said:
"Clever ghosts. ”
Won Li Heng's praise, and the insect girl proudly raised her pretty face covered with dust.
"Let's go, go back to Taiji Palace with the prince's brother, wash up well, and change back into the princess's clothes......"
Li Heng is very fond of doting on this half-sister, so the insect girl also naughtily calls her the prince's brother. However, the insect girl refused Li Heng's special care.
"Worm Niang can't go to Taiji Palace with Brother Prince, Worm Niang is still the same as others, go to the East Palace!
Hearing this, Li Heng was stunned for a moment, and then stroked the back of the insect girl's head with a smile.
"The lesson of the insect mother is that the prince's brother should not be close to each other!"
As he spoke, Li Heng's heart moved and said:
"Worm Niang has just met the colt, are you still satisfied?"
The insect girl, who was still flexible, instantly twisted, folded her hands in front of her, and rubbed her fingers. Seeing this, Li Heng laughed. The insect girl looked up dissatisfiedly and said:
"Still laughing, ignore the prince's brother!"
Sending the insect girl away, the smile on Li Heng's face gradually faded. He really has too many things in his heart that he can't let go, and a moment of pleasure is already a rare luxury. Speaking of the sister of the insect mother, in addition to his liking and doting on him, there is a more important point, that is, the father has already ordered her to marry Qin Jin, and because of this, she was canonized as Princess Shou'an.
Li Heng is very clear about his father's thoughts, and the insect mother is just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time, but he told himself that he would not learn from his father's ruthlessness no matter what. Qin Jin is a person he is very optimistic about, although he has had rebellious behavior, but it is for self-preservation, and now the facts prove that there is great righteousness in his heart. The father does not use this person, although he has a suspicious character, but in the end, he is still blinded by the desire for pleasure, so that he cannot distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
Now that the worm girl is out of danger, Li Heng has decided to marry her and Qin Jin, which can be regarded as a good story.
Early the next morning, Li Heng convened important ministers above the third rank to discuss the meeting, and Qin Jin also responded to the call. Chen Xilie was the first to express his dissatisfaction with Qin Jin, he believed that the wartime control and private enterprises engaged in by Qin Jin were all nonsense.
"Last night, more than a dozen families found Lao Chen, complained to Lao Chen, and said that Qin Jin's connivance department would rob the people's property......"
Li Heng smiled:
Li Heng also knows a thing or two about what the old minister said, the wartime control and the order to concentrate materials are from Li Heng's own handwriting. ”
"Your Highness, doing this will only make the people in the city deviate from my Tang Dynasty, absolutely not!"
Chen Xilie's voice trembled, and a few muddy tears burst out of his dry old eyes.
Wei Fangjin and Cui Guangyuan were both close to Qin and Jin, and when they saw Chen Xilie, the old guy, behaving like this, they refuted it one after another.
Because of the civil unrest, seven or eight out of ten of the people's families in the city have lost their permanent production, and now that the wartime control and the distribution of materials are equal, so many ......people will not starve to death."
Cui Guangyuan spoke unceremoniously, mocking Chen Xilie and affirming to the crown prince the benefits of wartime control.
Wei Fangjin said without yin or yang:
"How, could it be that Old Minister Chen has another clever plan to solve the livelihood of the unemployed people in the city?"
