Chapter 075: Pacifying the Displaced People
"Stop." With a coquettish shout, the people who were about to do it stopped. When they looked up, a beautiful girl was standing in front of them, followed by two handsome men, both dressed in brocade clothes, not like ordinary people. I couldn't help but stop and looked at the three of them in a daze.
"He has already begged for mercy, why don't you let him go?" Qiyunxiu was dumbfounded.
"That'...... Forget it if he steals from us? A man said.
Another chimed in, "We don't have anything to eat now." Before Luoyang was under the rule of the Later Qin, it was conscripted for many years, and then the Jin army came over, and now it has only been a few years, and it has changed hands and become the world of Great Wei. When will this continuous war be a head? The old seven family finally opened a shop, and if he wants to feed the six people in the family, is it easy for him? We, the neighbors, can't just watch him suffer dumb losses. ”
Qiyun listened to what they said, so he took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, "These are for you, is it enough to buy those steamed buns?" ”
When those people saw that people were paying the bills, they didn't pursue it, and the old seven stepped forward to take the silver, threw the steamed buns to him, and the crowd slowly dispersed. Qiyun saw that the man kneeling on the ground was unkempt, his face was swollen, and he really looked hungry. So, he picked up the steamed buns on the ground, handed them to him, and asked, "It's a little dirty, do you still want it?" ”
The man's eyes were red, "Yes, what's the matter if it's dirty?" Eating it can save your life. With these steamed buns, my two children will have a way to live. Girl, your heart is so good, thank you, Miss Xie! As he spoke, he kowtowed to Qiyun twice.
Qiyun listened to him very pitifully, and was about to give him the rest of the broken silver. But I heard Mo Chuan, who had been silent for a long time, say coldly: "Now Luoyang has just ended the war, and there are many homeless people. If you give him money and food, I am afraid that in the future, the street will be full of homeless people, and they will come to ask you for it. ”
Qiyun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but still gave the broken silver to the man. Sure enough, just as Mo Chuan had predicted, from the dim corners of the street, many ragged homeless people gradually poured out, all of them gathered around the three of them, some were still young children, some were sick and weak old men, with yellow faces and thin muscles, weak energy, obviously hungry for a long time, and they all looked at them with blank eyes.
At this time, Qiyun had no silver on his body, and his expression was embarrassed. Only looked back at Tuoba Tao and asked him to relieve the siege, flashing his eyes like a lost deer.
Tuoba Tao saw Qiyun like this, and he couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing that almost all the homeless people in the street were coming, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you are really a bit of a large number, but I didn't have so much silver with me, so I thought of a way." At noon tomorrow, everyone will go to the side gate of Henan Wangfu, and I will let people set up a porridge shop there, and everyone can receive it for free when they arrive. The crowd looked at him, incredulous, still entangled, and did not disperse.
Qiyun looked at them and said with a smile, "What he said is true. He was the eldest son of the Great Wei Emperor, King Taiping. The king of Henan who guarded Luoyang in the Great Wei Dynasty was his uncle of the Four Emperors. You say, Is his word credible? ”
"Ah, the eldest son of the emperor? King Taiping? Are you sure? The crowd exploded.
Tuoba Tao clenched his fists and apologized, and said sincerely: "The King of Henan is the fourth emperor uncle in Tuobatao. Tonight, I discussed this matter with him overnight, and asked him to open a warehouse tomorrow to give porridge, you can rest assured. When everyone saw that he was noble, his identity seemed extraordinary, and his words were earnest, they no longer doubted it, their faces were happy, and they dispersed with the old and the young.
Seeing this, Qiyun thanked him.
Tuoba Tao said: "This is what I should do, thank me for what to do?" Then again, how much more should I thank you? ”
"For what?" Qiyun was curious.
Tuoba Tao said: "I remember that day in my Taiping Palace, Cui Situ tested you. You said in one breath five strategies for governing the country, the first of which is to resettle the homeless, and I have written them all down. ”
"Really?" Qiyun's joy was beyond words, and Tuoba Tao looked at her smile and nodded with a smile. Mo Chuan was on the side, seeing the two of them with their eyes flowing, tender and sweet, unhappy in their hearts, and coughed.
Hearing this, Tuoba Tao smiled at Mo Chuan and said, "This is thanks to the Chaoying Palace, which allows Yun'er to have such a ability." Yun'er was taken care of by the palace master, and Tao was very grateful. ”
Mo Chuan heard him say that Qiyun seemed to be temporarily placed in the Asakei Palace. Seeing that they seemed to be her own people, and she was an outsider, Mo Chuan was even more unhappy in her heart, and said coldly: "This is her own ability, and it has nothing to do with me." She's in Heicheng, but she just borrowed the name of my Chaoying Palace. ”
"The palace master is too modest." Tuoba Tao listened to his expression and words a little strange, and he didn't care much.
"Don't dare." Mo Chuan bowed his hand and looked respectful.
When he arrived at the palace of Henan, Tuoba Tao invited Mo Chuan to go with him to see the king of Henan, and took care of Qiyun to rest first. When the king of Henan saw Mochuan, he naturally treated him as a guest, was warm and polite to him, and ordered someone to arrange for him to live in the mansion. In addition, Tuoba Tao and the king of Henan talked about opening a warehouse for disaster relief and relocating displaced people, and they talked about it very late.
In the middle of the moon, there was silence all around, and a white figure flashed and jumped from the window into Qiyun's room. Mo Chuan approached Qiyun's bedside step by step, looking at her sleeping face, there were a hundred tastes in his heart, and he couldn't tell the difference. At this moment, Mo Chuan looked at her so close to him, but it seemed to be so far away. Sitting on the edge of the bed, her fingertips gently caressed her lips, soft and delicate, like cherry blossoms, and a strange feeling arose in my heart that I had never felt before.
Is it right or wrong to personally help her approach Tuoba Tao as the civil and martial prince of the Chaoying Palace? Everything is under your control, but the only thing that is out of control is the human heart. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few months, Qiyun and Tuoba Tao were so affectionate. I have always been conceited and calm, but why do I see them like that, and my heart will be like turning over the river and the sea?
Looking at her flower-like cherry lips, his gaze was deeply attracted, and he couldn't help it, he slowly lowered his head......
Suddenly, he heard a very light footsteps outside the door, Mo Chuan's hearing was much more sensitive than ordinary people, and he heard the footsteps coming towards Qiyun's room. Mo Chuan glanced at Qiyun reluctantly, and jumped out of the window lightly.
The door gently pushed open, and Tuoba Tao quietly walked in, straight to Qiyun's bedside. He sat on the edge of the bed, carefully examined Qiyun, gently stroked her cheek with the back of his hand, carefully pressed the quilt for her, and leaned down to kiss her lightly on the forehead. Mo Chuan saw all this through the gap in the window, through the moonlight, his handsome eyes were deep and cold, and his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.
