If there had been no earthquake in Chang'an and Jinju, Li Zhi would have planned to go to Jiucheng Palace in September. Now that the prince is on patrol to the Jinzhou disaster area, Chang'an also needs someone to preside over the overall situation, so Li Zhi changed his itinerary.

Although there are houses in Chang'an City that have been destroyed, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the efficiency is always much higher than that of the locality, and half a month later, the people affected by the disaster in Chang'an have all settled down. However, the situation in Jinju is not optimistic, judging from the fold handed back by Li Hong, the disaster situation in Jinzhou is far more severe than imagined, and the previous local lied about the disaster situation, the disaster relief is not timely, and a large number of victims urgently need to settle down.

At this time, Wu Zetian was sorting the folds for Li Zhi according to the important Cheng dù, and he was still holding a red pen in his hand to mark the content that needed attention on the folds. She has been here with Li Zhi for almost a whole day today, and she feels that her eyesight is really a little unsustainable, so she puts down the red pen in her hand. When he raised his eyes, he saw Li Zhi holding the fold handed back by Li Hong in his hand, and his brows were tightly locked.

Seeing this, she stood up to his hands, and raised her hands to massage his temples on both sides.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, put down the fold in his hand, and his tightly knit brows stretched slightly.

"The crown prince and Di Renjie have just arrived in Jinzhou, although the situation in Jinzhou is far stricter than imagined, but since the lord also said that Di Renjie is a good person, there should be no big problem."

Li Zhi raised his hand, held Wu Zetian's hand, and said, "It's not that I'm afraid that Di Renjie won't be able to deal with it, but I just thought that there may not be a few local officials who have a vegetarian meal, so I feel a little worried." ”

Wu Zetian was stunned.

Li Zhi smiled, stretched out his hand and took out another book from the pile of folds for Wu Zetian to see, his tone was full of appreciation, and said, "Di Renjie is indeed a talent. ”

Wu Zetian took over the fold in Li Zhi's hand and read it at a glance.

In the Jinju disaster, some homeless people who were already in the city took the opportunity to make trouble, harassed the government from time to time, and took advantage of the fire to rob. The governor of Jinju was worried that the suppression of these displaced people at this time would cause unrest, so he turned a blind eye. After Di Renjie arrived in Jinzhou, the first thing he did was to ask the governor of Jinzhou to take the officers and soldiers to repair these homeless people who took the opportunity to rob their homes and houses, and punish the few people who took the lead to set an example. The trees fell and scattered, and the remaining unscrupulous homeless people felt palpitations when they saw that the leader was punished. At this time, Di Renjie asked the governor of Jinzhou to organize these displaced people, saying that now is a very good time, and everyone is forced to come to this point because of helplessness, such as today's Zi Rende, saying that as long as the disaster relief is meritorious, the past is not to blame, and after the situation is stabilized, the imperial court will arrange a way out for everyone.

In this way, the displaced people who had been wandering in the city had a place to stay, and when they joined the disaster relief team, someone came to restrain them. At this time, some well-intentioned people who were ready to move saw that the government first suppressed the displaced people, but only repaired the leader, and then came out to appease the displaced people and the disaster victims, and included them in the team that could be restrained, and they had to hold back any thoughts in their hearts.

Wu Zetian closed the fold in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the prince doesn't approve of Di Renjie's move." ”

Li Zhi smiled and bowed his head, "Zhizi Mo Ruomu, the personal soldiers I sent came back and said that the prince did not agree with Di Renjie's mention before, but before leaving, I told the prince that on this trip to Jinzhou, Di Renjie will be the main one and he will be the auxiliary, and I will let him leave Chang'an to let him increase his knowledge." ”

Therefore, even if the prince did not agree with Di Renjie's actions, there was no way. Before leaving, my father told me that although he was the prince, he had never walked around the people, and when it came to disaster relief and reassuring people's hearts, it was far inferior to Di Renjie who got up from the place.

At this time, the Confucian classics that the prince has been familiar with since he was a child, and the threesome must have my teacher finally came in handy.

Once the prince disagreed with Di Renjie's actions, he thought of his father's advice and Confucius's teachings, so he held back the opinions that had already reached his lips. silently watched Di Renjie and the Governor of Jinzhou send troops in a hurry, divided by two, and suppressed the group of homeless people, and then silently watched Di Renjie say things like saints and virtues, and fooled a group of homeless people not to want it, and then was willingly absorbed by the government.

Li Zhi smiled and said: "In the past, the crown prince thought too well of these Diao people, and always thought that people would not do evil for no reason, so whenever the imperial court issued a decree to rectify military discipline or settle the poor and homeless, he felt that this decree was inappropriate, and that decree was not good, and everything had to think of people who needed special care." He always sympathized with the poor and weak without any reason, but he did not know that the poor must have something to hate. ”

The people of the world are divided into three, six, nine and so on. Some people are born good and are good citizens, but there are also people who, for various reasons, never learn from the good and the bad, wander around as a gangster, and when they get the opportunity, they will take advantage of some small advantages, take advantage of the fire to rob, and take advantage of the chaos to rob their homes and houses.

The prince is benevolent, and in the face of poor and weak people, he can't help but think of extrajudicial favors. But if you want to govern the world, how can you make the people submit by extrajudicial grace?

Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian, with a relieved expression and a little relaxation: "It seems that it is right to let the prince go to Jinzhou this time." ”

Wu Zetian listened to Li Zhi's relay, and the feeling in his heart was not complicated, it was a lie. Her eldest son can now finally try to accept what he once thought was ugly, and once one begins to accept the ugliness of the world, it is the beginning of true growth.

Her eldest son may begin to transform because of this trip to Jinju. As a mother, she felt relieved and threatened.

When Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were talking about the crown prince, Li Chenzheng and Taiping were in the princess courtyard, and the little heads of the sisters were together, looking at a piece of paper handed to them by Shangguan Wan'er. The paper listed the things they would prepare and the games they would play on Xue Shao's birthday three days later.

Since Xue Shao is still in the filial piety period and has not yet been discharged, his birthday cannot be too high-profile, Taiping thought that he could just find a few brothers, his father and mother, plus Xue Shao's two brothers outside the palace to come into the palace to accompany him.

When the sisters were thinking about what to do that day, so that Xue Shao, who had returned to his birthday for the first time after losing his parents, felt warm and not sentimental, the palace maid Si Qi beside Taiping came in a hurry.

"Princess!"

The two sisters looked up at Si Qi in unison.

Taiping frowned, looked at Si Qi, and his tone was disturbed with displeasure: "What makes you so anxious?" ”

Si Qi hurriedly bowed his head, "The maid knows that she is wrong, but didn't the princess say that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has news, she will come to sue the two princesses?" ”

When Li Chen saw Si Qi's anxious appearance, and heard her say that this matter was related to the prince's brother, Li Chen chuckled in his heart. She had long heard from her father that the disaster in Jinju was much stricter than what was said in the newspaper, and a few days after the earthquake, the aftershocks continued, affecting the relief work. When the prince's brother and Di Renjie went to Jinju, although there were no aftershocks, they were full of ruins. In the words of the prince's newspaper, it was full of desolation, almost all the houses were destroyed, the people were homeless on the streets, and from time to time there were homeless people, and the government threw rats into the trap, and the situation in the Jinju disaster area was a mess.

Li Chen wondered if the prince's brother didn't die of illness or poisoned by his mother this time, but something happened in Jinju? Otherwise, how could Si Qi look so anxious?

As soon as Taiping heard the news that it was the prince, his face turned slightly pale, put down the list in his hand, and asked, "What news does His Royal Highness the prince have now?" ”

Si Qi raised his head and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Di Yushi are in Jinzhou, and it is said that they have settled the displaced people in Jinzhou very smoothly. The saint is in a good mood now, and is discussing this matter with Her Royal Highness the Queen, and saying that when Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns, he will reward His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

When Li Chen heard Si Qi's words, his heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he glanced at Si Qi angrily, and reprimanded him lightly: "This is a good thing, can you go on a rampage with a hundred thousand anxious looks?" It's a shame that you're still the princess's personal maid, why are you so ignorant? ”

Li Chen thought, the most important thing is that she was about to be scared to death by herself.

Si Qi was reprimanded by Li Chen, lowered his head, and his tone was a little aggrieved, "Didn't the two princesses say that once the prince came back, they would come to report it as soon as possible?" ”

Li Chen was choked by her words, his eyes widened, and he wanted to educate this chess player what it means to look at the master's face and act, if it was Wan'er, he would definitely not be so blind. But Yu Guang glanced at Sister Taiping next to him and felt that his move was superfluous.

No matter how Si Qi is, she is also Sister Taiping's person, she rashly taught her, for fear that she would overstep her and make Sister Taiping unhappy. Thinking about it, Li Chen was suddenly stunned, and his eyes fell on Si Qi again, because of her reprimand, Si Qi's face was flushed. In fact, she didn't mean to attack Siqi, but when did she start to become so arrogant?

Over the years, I have been pampered by my parents, and the people around me have been pleasing in every way, and I have no intention of restraining myself, so I have become what I am today. Li Chen sighed lightly in his heart, this is not good, it has to be changed.

Taiping saw that Si Qi made Li Chen a little unhappy, but he didn't reprimand Si Qi for anything, in Taiping's opinion, Ah Mei is still young, and sometimes it is very normal to be moody. She sent Si Qi down, and told Li Chen about the arrangements for Xue Shao's birthday in three days.

"I wanted to ask my father to let us go to Buxian Garden with Cousin Xue Shao to celebrate his birthday, but my father and mother have been very busy lately, so we should be sensible and not cause trouble for them. Sister, what did you say I would give to Cousin Xue Shao that day? ”

Li Chen didn't think about it, and blurted out, "Cousin Xue Shao doesn't lack anything in the palace, but I heard Aunt Chengyang say in the past that every time a few cousins have birthdays, she will personally make a bowl of longevity noodles for them to eat." ”

Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then lay on the table listlessly, "But I don't know how to make longevity noodles." ”

Li Chen: "......"
