Chapter 18 Scraping and Quenching
Back in the East Palace, Lin Frame immediately stepped forward and asked Zhao Yuliang: "Your Highness, do you need to send some people to protect you secretly?" ”
The road from the capital to Sichuan was a long way, and there were many dangerous places along the way, and among the officials who accompanied the prince, there were two factions that were estranged from each other due to different political views, so Lin Jian was never at ease. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, to send someone to escort the crown prince from the East Palace Ten Rates would obviously arouse the emperor's suspicions, so if you want to send someone else to protect the prince, you can only come secretly.
In addition to the ten rates of the East Palace, Zhao Yuliang secretly raised 3,000 elite soldiers outside.
These 3,000 people are all strong in martial arts and have unique skills, so one person can top three people.
Zhao Yuliang divided the 3,000 people into six teams, distributed in the eastern, western, southern, and northern suburbs and city centers of the capital, with the code names of Dongying, Xiying, Nanying, Beiying, Chengying 1, and Chengying 2.
These 3,000 people only obeyed the orders of the crown prince and Lin Jiao.
The crown prince knew very well that although the East Palace was under his orders, because the emperor also had control over them, he could not completely rule them according to his own ideas.
This puts the prince in a passive state.
In order to prepare for emergencies, the crown prince began to secretly recruit elite soldiers when he was seventeen years old.
Zhao Yuliang had a plan in mind on the way back, and replied according to his own thoughts at this moment: "Send ten people from Chengying No. 1 Middle School to follow along the road disguised as merchants, but don't follow too closely, and divide into two teams. After a pause, he said again: "Wu Xu and Zhou Tong are the captains." ”
It couldn't be better.
Lin Jian immediately smiled and said, "Yes." ”
Zhao Yuliang said solemnly: "Due to the serious disaster over there, I can't predict the return date for the time being, and during the time I'm not at home, you have to take care of the East Palace for me." ”
"Yes."
"If there is a new recruit or the like, no matter how humble and ordinary his position is, he must send someone to check the other party's background before deciding whether to hire or not. This is especially the case with caution. ”
Lin Huan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the small ones will definitely be strictly controlled." ”
"Ugly words ahead, if I come back and find that something is wrong, no matter how serious the matter is, you will have to bear the greatest responsibility."
Listening to Zhao Yuliang's increasingly serious tone, Lin Jian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The little one understands, and the little one obeys His Highness's instructions." ”
Zhao Yuliang glanced at him, got up and took out a bag of silver taels from the cabinet on the side and threw it to Lin Frame, and said, "Buy some food and clothing supplies for your parents." ”
Lin Frame thanked him.
Zhao Yuliang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”
"Then Your Highness should rest early."
"Hmm."
After Lin Frame left, Zhao Yuliang ordered his personal palace maid to fetch the pair of jade chess pieces he had placed in the cabinet.
As long as he returns home, Zhao Yuliang's biggest interest is reading books and playing chess, especially chess. As long as there is a chess game in front of him, Zhao Yuliang can forget everything around him and devote himself to it.
When playing chess, the chessboard is like his country, the chess pieces are his soldiers and horses, and they are also the medium of his resourcefulness. In this way, he sees each game of chess as a battle, imagines another stronger self to be the opponent, and constantly fights with that imaginary opponent for strategy, pattern, vision, courage, endurance and insight. Therefore, for him who is only nineteen years old, even if he has not personally been on the battlefield, in his heart, he has already fought tens of thousands of battles.
He often thinks: How big is a person's experience, how high is his vision, and how strong is his ability to sit on the infinite country and benefit it?
Only noble people can benefit people.
This is what he learned in his day-to-day game.
When the palace ladies saw that he was engaged in the game, they quietly went to the outer hall to wait.
Zhao Yuliang didn't like to have people by his side when he played chess.
After playing a game of chess, Zhao Yuliang felt happy, so he got up and went to bathe and change clothes.
At the time of the third watch, Lin Frame had already prepared horses, outfits and three personal guards with strong martial arts according to Zhao Yuliang's arrangement.
In the middle of Yin Shizhong (around four o'clock in the morning), Zhao Yuliang walked out of the East Palace in a strong suit.
Lin Frame and several palace maids sent each other off in the back.
Zhao Yuliang, who was wearing a strong suit, was a little more heroic than usual.
For safety reasons, Zhao Yuliang also wore a bulletproof armor inside the suit.
When Zhao Yuliang arrived at the Qianqing Palace, it was not yet dawn, but the emperor had already gotten up and was eating breakfast.
Zhao Yuliang hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Last night, I received two more urgent letters from Sichuan about the disaster." As he spoke, the emperor motioned to Gonggong Zhang to bring the two letters.
Father-in-law Zhang hurriedly complied.
Zhao Yuliang Zhanxin took a look at it -- the content was all about the disaster situation. Judging from the data, the disaster is very serious. Zhao Yuliang's mood also froze.
Guo Mao, Feng Hong, Bai Zekui, Peng Wentao and Liu Yan came in one after another at this time.
Zhao Yuliang had no intention of making more greetings, and immediately took the five officials and the 20,000 soldiers to Sichuan in a hurry.
When the people heard the news of the prince's arrival, they came to the section of the road he had to pass and knelt and waited.
Seeing him coming, the people had mixed feelings and cried loudly.
Although Zhao Yuliang doesn't like to show his feelings in front of people, he can't help but reddened his eyes when he sees this situation. He comforted everyone in a very calm tone and encouraged everyone to cheer up and face it bravely, after which he left a few officials to help everyone solve the difficulties, and continued to go to the disaster area with other officials.
Ahead is the scene of the disaster area.
Zhao Yuliang looked at it.
But seeing that this once thriving place, with abundant grains and dwellings, has been replaced by large areas of broken walls, the scene is like ruins, and it is unbearable to see.
On this ruin, people are constantly digging with shovels, shovels and other things.
Apparently, they were rescuing people who were buried in the ground.
Zhao Yuliang immediately arranged for someone to come to help, and called the magistrate to come to understand the situation.
"According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 2,800 dead, more than 4,400 injured, and about 500 missing." Local officials carefully debriefed.
Hearing this data, the corners of Zhao Yuliang's mouth trembled, and he asked, "Is there still food distributed to the victims?" ”
The magistrate replied, "No, since last night we have eaten all the food from Linxian County." ”
Zhao Yuliang immediately ordered the food delivered to the victims, and instructed the magistrate: "In order to prevent the plague, you should issue a notice to the people not to drink raw water during this time, and the wounds should be scrubbed with a cloth soaked in boiling water." ”
The magistrate nodded hurriedly, "Yes." ”
"When they have restocked their food, quickly take them to a safer place. The excavation and rescue work will be done by the people sent by the main palace. ”
The prince's words gave the magistrate great comfort and encouragement, and the magistrate hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
The crown prince stretched out his hand to help him up, and continued to instruct: "In addition, immediately send someone to the vicinity to collect the situation, see if there is anything abnormal, and if there is, immediately report to the palace." ”
The magistrate was busy receiving orders.
Zhao Yuliang walked towards the ruins.
The officials who had come with him also hurried to follow.
Zhao Yuliang didn't want them all to follow, he told them to "split up, listen carefully to the movement underground, and if they heard someone calling for help, immediately notify the rescuers."
They did so immediately.
Zhao Yuliang asked a local official accompanying him: "Do you know the situation in Baoning and Shunqing?" ”
"Yes, it is said that the disaster in those two places is equally severe." The local official replied respectfully.
Zhao Yuliang said: "The palace will rush to Boryeong at dawn tomorrow, and you should send someone to count the latest number of dead and wounded in the Zunyi area now." ”
"Yes."
