Chapter 32 Disaster Relief Trip
On the second day of the main hall, Xiahou Yixuan sat in front of the dragon case with a warm smile on his face, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have made a modest effort for the people, I have already seen and ordered Prince Chen to take someone to collect the silver taels. It is my blessing to have a minister like you to be loyal to the country, and it is a blessing for me to have the Dragon Shadow Kingdom. Now that the silver is available, all that remains is the question of disaster relief, to suppress the plague, to calm the victims, I wonder what you think about this?"
"Back to the emperor, Yanli is the most remote place in the Dragon Shadow Country, and the people are forced by life on weekdays, and they are miserable, and then they encounter the plague, and the disaster relief trip is urgent!" said Chu Pengnan, the waiter of the Chinese book.
"So what do you do? Who wants to go to the disaster relief?"
When the words fell, the court was in an uproar, the land was poor and remote, and there was a plague running around, whoever wanted to go to that kind of place, if they didn't make a small life, they would lose their lives there.
Xiahou Yixuan looked around, and said helplessly: "No adult is willing to go there to save the people in suffering?"
Seeing that everyone was silent and no one was making a sound, Yi Hongyuan came out and bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the old minister recommended Prince Chen to go, he is witty and calm, he is not surprised, and he is the emperor's younger brother, with royal blood. One can reassure the people on behalf of the emperor and let the people know that the emperor cares about refugees and worries about the country and the people. Second, in the event of a rebellion against the refugees, I am afraid that he is the only one who can subdue them. ”
"Is there anyone else who wants to go?"
"The ministers all recommended Lord Chen to go. Hearing Xiahou Yixuan's question, everyone echoed in unison without hesitation.
"The king is willing to go. As he was talking, Xiahou Yichen walked in, with a smiling face, making it impossible to tell whether he was angry or worried. This time, they made a little bit of blood, and it was not surprising that they all recommended him to go.
"Brother Huang rest assured, the younger brother will do his best to settle the refugees, control the plague, and live up to the expectations of all the adults. Xiahou Yichen said, his eyes casually swept over everyone's faces. The breezy words frightened all the ministers to shut up and bow their heads, not daring to look directly into his gaze.
As if to achieve some kind of goal, Yi Hongyuan showed an imperceptible sneer on his face, which was fleeting.
"Okay, can the silver be stored back?"
Xiahou Yichen stood in front of him, nodded slightly to Xiahou Yixuan, and said loudly: "With the previous 800,000 taels, a total of four million taels, all of them have been prepared." ”
Xiahou Yixuan nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Then I will order you to escort four million taels of disaster silver, bring the corresponding medicinal materials and a hundred medical officers, and go to Yanli for disaster relief." The disaster situation is urgent, and there is no need to delay, so we can prepare and set off tomorrow to ensure that the people are safe and healthy as soon as possible, so as to comfort the people's hearts. ”
"My brother will take the order, but I will take my princess with me."
Hearing that he was going to take Lin Xiaoyu with him, Yi Hongyuan was shocked, with her relationship with Lin Xiaoyu, with her, Lin Xiaoyu's actions would definitely have scruples, and he must have known this relationship, so he deliberately wanted to take Lin Xiaoyu there. "The princess and princess are really affectionate and envious of others, but the plague is everywhere there, how can the princess bear to take this risk. ”
"I can't bear it and I can't help it, why don't you go with this king?"
The prince laughed, and the old minister was just worried about the princess's safety. Yi Hongyuan pretended to explain that there was a tomb prepared for him, so how could he go to die.
Xiahou Yichen snorted coldly without changing his face, what he was worried about, everyone knew it in their hearts. "Brother Huang, the situation is strict, we can't continue to delay time, if the team moves forward together, it will definitely slow down. The younger brother wanted to set off in two batches, and today Xiao Yu took the imperial doctor to take the first step and rush to treat the victims. And I will select elite soldiers and escort Yinliang to set off tomorrow, so as not to encounter trouble on the road and be targeted by some ill-intentioned people. Isn't it, Master?"
"What the prince said is extremely true. Yi Hongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied. As long as he doesn't go with Lin Xiaoyou, then his plan will definitely not be an accident.
"Well, it's up to you to decide. They are all my people, the people of the Dragon Shadow Kingdom, we must do our best to settle them, and at the same time, I will also issue an order to exempt Yan Li from taxes for three years, and lead the ** concubines to pray for them, and strive to avoid disasters as soon as possible. ”
After Xiahou Yixuan finished speaking, all the officials shouted in unison: "The emperor is wise." ”
"Well, then you all retreat from the court, I still have something to say to the prince. Xiahou Yixuan waved his hand and said.
"The ministers retired. "All bowed and withdrew.
After the ministers were finished, Xiahou Yixuan said: "Now the shape is dangerous, you must be careful, and go and say goodbye to the queen mother before leaving!"
It's okay not to say it, as soon as he said it, Xiahou Yichen immediately pulled down his face, turned around and left without saying a word. Xiahou Yixuan shook his head helplessly, after so many years, why can't he let go of the past.
"Ze, are you ready over there?" asked Xiahou Yichen in the study.
"Xiang'an is the closest and most prosperous place to Yanli, he has rushed from Luchang to Xiang'an, and gathered all the grain merchants, medicine merchants are waiting for us, as long as the silver arrives, we can immediately get enough food and medicine to save the victims. Beiming reported truthfully.
"Then order him to pay for the resettlement of the victims first, and we will rush to it as soon as possible." ”
"This" Beiming said with a little embarrassment: "Merchants are mainly profit-oriented, and at this time, they are all hoarding food and medicines, driving up prices, and he will not be able to draw too much silver for a while." Now the refugees in Xiang'an City are in trouble, and those merchants who are forced to die hard will first send a part of the grain for disaster relief, just waiting for us to escort the disaster relief silver to the past. ”
"What about our side, how are you preparing?"
"One qiē properly, that princess there"
"Well, this king will tell her. ”
"What? In the Stargazing Pavilion, Lin Xiaoyou said in disbelief.
"That's right, I see that your appearance was not bad before, so this king will ask the emperor for instructions on your behalf, let you also go to disaster relief, and then you will take a hundred medical officers with Ming to go first. Xiahou Yichen said
Lin Xiaoyou came back to his senses and smiled, looked at Xiahou Yichen and asked, "Do I have a choice?"
Xiahou Yichen was stunned, he didn't expect her to ask, "Yes." ”
"Then I'm not going. Lin Xiaoyou's face turned cold and flatly refused.
"This king is not finished speaking, you have the right to choose, and this king also has the right to decide. Xiahou Yichen didn't care about Lin Xiaoyu's words at all, and swore sovereignty domineeringly.
"Why should I listen to you, why should I ask you to make decisions for me? Lin Xiaoyou said unhappily. Originally, disaster relief was a good thing, and she was happy to help those refugees, but Xiahou Yichen decided for her without consulting her, and her heart was inevitably a little unbalanced.
"Why, just because this king is your husband, and you are the wife of this king, and it is a matter of course for your husband to sing and sing with her wife, and you can only obey the king's decision. Xiahou Yichen said with a smile.
"I wasn't prepared. ”
"You don't need to prepare, this king has prepared everything for you. ”
"What about the refugees outside the city?"
"This king will arrange it himself. ”
She said one thing, and he said one thing back. Seeing the two secretly competing, Xiangqing and Lan Yu were scared into a cold sweat next to them, for fear of annoying the prince, so they couldn't eat and walked around. Bei Ming looked at Lin Xiaoyou with a little surprise, no one had ever dared to talk back to his master in his memory.
"Why, you don't dare to go?"
Lin Xiaoyou stared at him hatefully, feeling more and more that Xiahou Yichen looked like a cunning scoundrel.
"Princess, please, the journey of Yanli is still very long, and if we go early, the suffering of the people will be reduced. Beiming persuaded at the right time.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyou snorted coldly and turned away. Xiahou Yichen looked at her back, and a triumphant arc rose on his lips.
At the gate, all the medical officers who had been ordered to go had gathered here, and a long line of twenty carriages lined up a long street.
"Princess, let's go with you. "Xiangqing Lanyu said goodbye at the door, full of worry and reluctance.
Lin Xiaoyou smiled and comforted: "You two are at home, the situation there is even worse than outside the city, how can I let you go on an adventure." ”
"You're not afraid, what are we afraid of. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll be fine, let's go back!. Lin Xiaoyou said and got into the car. Bei Ming is right, the sooner she goes, the sooner the refugees can get out of the pain, how can she continue to waste time.
"Let's go. Beiming drove Lin Xiaoyou to the front, and the rest of the medical officers sat in a car, and the convoy walked slowly, and the people in the city all consciously gave way to the road. Out of the city, all the carriages picked up speed and hurried desperately.
Sending Lin Xiaoyou away, Xiahou Yichen recalled Dongfan and began to prepare for the matter at hand.
"Lord Wang, how should the refugees and old slaves outside the city be arranged?" Zhang Yingfu asked.
There were as many as four or five hundred refugees, how could the palace alone afford it, Xiahou Yichen thought for a while, and said: "One person will give them ten taels of silver, and let them all go back to their respective hometowns." ”
"There's a plague there, and I don't think they're going to say yes. ”
"Don't be afraid, that is their hometown, you say that this king will personally go to the disaster relief, let them also go back to help, if they don't agree, tell them that the palace will not continue to support them in the future. ”
"Yes, the old slave will do it immediately. Zhang Yingfu said and respectfully withdrew.
"Dongfan, the rest is your business, you know what to do!"
"The subordinates understand. ”
"Go, be careful, don't show any feet, if anyone knows about the leak, kill. Xiahou Yichen said calmly. The murder was not surprising to him, and he never showed mercy to anyone who dared to do anything wrong.
"Yes. Dongfan took the order and left.
As long as a group of elite soldiers are selected, they can set off tomorrow. Old thing, you have to weigh it carefully, who loses and who wins, that's not your business, Xiahou Yichen thought, a weird smile appeared on his face.
On the second day, Xiahou Yichen ordered 300 elite soldiers to escort the disaster silver to set off. In the Dragon Cinema City, knowing that Prince Chen was going to come to Yanli for disaster relief, the people crowded on both sides of the street, scrambling to get a glimpse.
Xiahou Yichen was already handsome and extraordinary, at this moment he was wearing a black robe, and a cloak embroidered with dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns on a black background and red edges, riding on a dark red horse, majestic and magnificent. Dongfan also rode to the side, and the group set off towards Yanli in a majestic manner.
