Chapter Eighty-Six: Li Ying Dies

Supervise the situation of disasters and disaster relief in various places. Henan Province and Huainan Province have been affected, and the drought situation is much worse than before. If the arrangements had not been made in advance, the affected areas would have affected other provinces than the two provinces.

After a three-month drought like this, the losses are already very low, and the total number of deaths is less than 100,000.

The most prominent is the Xuzhou Prefecture, which is the hardest-hit area among the hardest-hit areas, and Lin'an County, which is under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Prefecture, has not had any deaths due to the disaster in the past three months, and no one has died of thirst and starvation due to drought.

At that time, when the governor of Xuzhou saw Lin'an's twists and turns, his first reaction was how could there be no death. The second reaction was that this should be true. The county magistrate of Lin'an County is his subordinate, and he has been a county magistrate in Lin'an County for ten years and has worked under him for six years. Although Lin'an County Ling is not a smart person, he is definitely not a stupid person. At this time, if such a number of people are reported, if it is fake, isn't it looking for death?

A letter was also attached to the Lin'an County Decree, which stated that there were a total of 1,200 households in Lin'an County, and more than 100 families had fled from the famine. Li Qing is the largest household in Lin'an County, holding one-third of the land under the jurisdiction of Lin'an County. The people called the area of these lands Li Qing boundary, and there were more than 300 households on the Li Qing land boundary, all of which were supplied with grain and water by Li Qing. Since the beginning of the disaster relief, all the people in the Li Qing Territory have not received a single grain of food for disaster relief, and all the food in the county government is the responsibility of the Li Qing Territory. All the food for disaster relief was used to relieve the remaining 700 households, and the water in Lin'an County was provided free of charge by Li Qing for the past half month. No one died as a result of the disaster.

The letter also stated Li Qing's request, which was as follows: Li Qing's only request was to ask the imperial court for help. It was agreed that the food and water that Li Qing would later provide for disaster relief would be lent to the imperial court. Li Qing hopes that the food and water will be lent to the imperial court, and he hopes that he can return it to him after the disaster. His Li Qing family really doesn't have so much financial and material resources to help the people, and he is now in debt. He had now borrowed a lot of money and was ready to go south to get enough food and water.

When the prefect of Xuzhou Prefecture Yin Luo saw this letter, his heart was both moved and shocked, a landlord can do this, what reason does the court have not to agree. He decided to turn in the transcript as it was.

Five of his counties were among the hardest hit, and the other four counties were among the most killed in other states, and he was ready to be dismissed from office after the disaster. But when he saw the memorabilia written by the Lin'an County Order, he knew that he was saved. He didn't have time to investigate these, he was willing to gamble, believe in the Lin'an County Order, and believe that there was a person named Li Qing.

After Xue Yu saw the folds of the county order of Lin'an County, he took it to the court and circulated it to the officials.

The court hall was circulated and discussed. The court was divided into two groups, and one group of people believed that such a situation could happen in Lin'an County, Xuzhou Prefecture, which was the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and should be rewarded and let other state capitals follow suit. Another group of people believes that this is the Xuzhou government's grandstanding in order to shirk the responsibility for the ineffective disaster relief.

In the end, Xue Yu sent the superintendent Yushi to Lin'an County to investigate, if the report was true, it must be rewarded, and Li Qing's request would be agreed to by the imperial court, and there was no reason for the imperial court to let the family go bankrupt for free disaster relief. If the report is false, it will be severely punished, and the punishment will be light.

Xue Yu asked Xue Dongwei in the evening if he had heard of a person named Li Qing in Lin'an County.

Xue Dongwei hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him." Now that the drought has come, he is a meritorious man." Although what Xue Dongwei said was inexplicable, Xue Yu still reacted and remembered that the signature of the original letter was Li Qing. Xue Yu asked Xue Dongwei to calm down and tell him about Li Qing.

Xue Dongwei thought for a while and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and at a young age, he has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and the wisdom to stabilize the country and the country. Now, God bless me Datang, and there is a heaven and earth Li Qing who stands on the ground in Lin'an County, holding a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand. Datang can get this person, it is really lucky, and the blessing of the people is also, how can it not make people cry with joy. Sun Tzu's admiration for Li Qingzhi is like a surging river, the sea is dry and rotten, and the sky is cracking. His noble sentiments are so touching. It is undoubtedly the greatest luck in my life to be able to meet a person with such a temperament as him in a small place like Lin'an County. "Xue Dongwei got Li Qingkua drunk, and Wen Cai Wu was omnipotent. Xue Dongwei's eyebrows fluttered, and his words were also messy.

Xue Yu looked at his grandson, who was proud of himself two days ago, how could he suddenly be unreliable, what is this talking about. Xue Yu ignored Xue Dongwei, shook his head and went back to the study, he still waited for the letter from the supervising imperial history.

The Turks learned of the drought in the Tang Dynasty and gathered troops and horses to attack the Tang Dynasty again.

Emperor Li Ying was about to return to Beijing after receiving the recital written by Xue Yu, and before leaving, he heard the drums of the enemy's attack. Li Ying was angry and ordered troops to meet the enemy, Sima Qing asked Sima Yunfei to defend the city and chased him out.

The Turkic soldiers were defeated and retreated, Li Ying did not listen to Sima Qing's persuasion, and led his troops to chase the enemy and was ambushed. Sima Qing protected Li Ying and escaped, but was shot dead by random arrows. Li Ying fled back to the city with an arrow and ordered Sima Yunfei to take over as the commander. Li Ying felt guilty in her heart, and her condition worsened with arrow wounds. Since he knew his fate soon, he wrote the edict of the crown prince, and died after not listening to Sima Qing's persuasion.

The news of the emperor's death and the two edicts quickly spread to the capital.

Xue Yu received the report that he went to Lin'an County to supervise the imperial history and was overjoyed.

At the court the next day, the prince asked people to read it to the officials. Everyone was in an uproar, and whether there were any deaths in the hard-hit areas was a great achievement. Moreover, the superintendent mentioned that Lin'an County is now well governed. The victims received the porridge in an orderly manner, unlike the areas he passed through were all chaotic, full of refugees and corpses. In Lin'an County, not to mention the corpses of refugees, even refugees rarely appear on the streets during the day, they sleep in the camps during the day, and only come out at night to receive relief porridge. Although the refugees are thin-skinned, they are still in good spirits. In addition, the refugees smoke the shacks with wormwood and other medicines every day, and the doctors of the medical center also go to the refugee camp every day to check on the physical condition of the refugees.

The superintendent did not see Li Qing himself, and Wang Wensheng, the chief administrator of Li Qing, saw him and said that Li Qing went to the south of the Yangtze River to prepare grain and grass. The superintendent of the imperial history originally wanted to go to Li Qing's realm to have a look, and after returning to Beijing, he would report to the imperial court and let other regions follow suit, but he was rejected by the governor Wang.

Wang Wensheng said that their lord was not there, and it was inconvenient to take the adults to Li Qing's house as guests. The county magistrate of Lin'an County also explained that the elders of the Li Qing family passed away, and there was really no one on the expedition. Li Qing is the third room of Li Shan's family. There is no one left in Li Qing's house, and Li Qing is left alone. If he wasn't there, Li Qingdi's outsiders wouldn't be able to enter. If adults want to meet the people of Lijia Village, you can ask them to come to the county government for questioning.

It is not good to supervise the imperial history, so I can only send the concert back to Beijing first, take a look in Lin'an County, stay for a few days, and inquire again. It would be best if I could see Li Qing, and if I couldn't see him, I could only go back to Beijing.
