Li Chengqian almost didn't fall down when he heard this, thinking that this must be ironic. He didn't dare to look back, because it was a group of people who were about to die of cold and starvation, and Li Chengqian only dared to face them if they were allowed to eat a full meal (this is just like the psychology of the author who didn't dare to check the recommendations and favorites when he had few updates).

Li Chengqian hurriedly walked into the courtyard and saw a few officials under the eaves of the house inside making porridge for the victims, looking at a group of women and children dressed in tatters and who could be blown away by a gust of wind, standing in the snow shivering, stretching their necks to look in the direction of the pot.

The servants who made porridge raised their spoons high for each spoonful of clear soup and little water, and then slowly poured them into the bowls held by the victims, as if to show that they were high.

Li Chengqian's eyes turned red when he saw it, and he was about to step forward to pack up these things, but he saw Xu Jingzong coming over and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no food here, and the scribe here said: The food can be delivered after noon." ”

Li Chengqian sighed when he heard this: "You immediately go back to the East Palace to transfer 500 stone of rice and bacon, half of which will be sent here, and half of which you will personally escort to the disaster resettlement site in Chang'an County." ”

"Bacon for the victims? How many tens of thousands of people are there?" Xu Jingzong's eyes widened, unable to believe what he had heard.

"First of all, according to two taels of bacon per person per day, you can eat bacon without salt, which is also convenient."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are tens of thousands of people in the two places combined, and it is a few thousand catties a day, is it enough for the East Palace?" Xu Jingzong asked uncertainly.

"You go back to find Zhou Zhiyao, if it's not enough, let him go to the inner mansion to ask for it, my father once ordered the lonely king to receive things from the inner mansion without restrictions." Li Chengqian said impatiently.

Xu Jingzong didn't dare to say more and hurriedly went out.

Li Chengqian knew that there was no way to change it without food, so he didn't come forward to disturb the victims to make porridge, but just looked around.

suddenly thought that he only called Liu Xun and Tang Jian, and it would not be the same thing to be scolded with the thickness of their cheeks.

If you call all the officials, they may not all support you, after all, the officials' minds are complicated, what should you do?

When I saw Zhang Shiheng at a glance, I thought of a scholar.

"Mr. Zhang, you took the edict of the lonely king and went to Guozijian, Taixue and Simenxue, and called all the students inside to let them come and see how my prime minister of the Tang Dynasty rescued the disaster." Li Chengqian said, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Wechen obeys!" Zhang Shiheng agreed and hurriedly went out.

"The third child, you go to the military department to borrow some tents, charcoal, and iron milling or something, and distribute them to two places."

Li Chengqian looked at the victims and wanted to find some old clothes for them, but he knew that people in this era did not have old clothes, no matter whether they were rich or poor, a piece of clothing was worn by a large one and a small one, and the master wore it for the servants.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the people and things you want won't be able to come for a while, so you should get in the car first and warm up, and I've been freezing in this snow for a long time." The old ghost whispered.

Li Chengqian looked left and right, but he couldn't find anything to do for a while, and it was not a way to stand in the snow all the time. He turned and walked out, his carriage still outside the pile of corpses.

Li Chengqian walked out of the courtyard, the people outside were heating the porridge pot, and the expressions of the victims standing in front of the pot returned to a numb appearance, seeing Li Chengqian come out and go out directly, he didn't add a handful of rice to the pot, and the crowd rang out a few harsh "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The people who followed Li Chengqian all looked angrily at the group of victims, trying to find out who was so bold.

Li Chengqian didn't stop at his feet, and said in a low voice: "Don't care!" Only then did the crowd endure and follow.

When Li Chengqian led everyone to get close to the pile of corpses, he saw that the child who followed Ren Yaxiang just now was still squatting next to the pile of corpses.

Li Chengqian motioned to the others not to come forward and startle him, and he quietly approached to take a look, only to see that the child was still holding the naked woman's body in both hands, and he looked at the woman quietly without crying or making trouble.

Li Chengqian guessed that this woman should be his mother, took off the cloak on his body, covered the woman's body, and then picked up the child and continued to walk out.

The child was left to his clutches, neither close nor struggling, still quietly watching him.

The old ghost hurriedly stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's give it to the old slave." ”

Li Chengqian ignored him, hugged the child and walked forward directly, the old ghost was afraid that they would fall, so he kept supporting them by the side.

After getting into the carriage, Li Chengqian put the child next to the small charcoal stove on the carriage, ordered the car to be driven outside the courtyard, and then sent someone to find some food for the child, and then sat in the carriage and thought nonsense.

----------------

Li Chengqian didn't know how long he stayed in the car, during which Liu Xun and Tang Jian came, he didn't get out of the car, but just arranged for the people inside to take care of them.

Qiu Shenji came back with very good news, and he didn't get out of the car until someone outside the car replied that the students of Guozijian, Taixue, and Simen had come, and Li Chengqian got out of the car.

During the Zhenguan period, there were more than 3,200 people in these three schools, and Guozijian only recruited the children of officials of the third rank and above, Taixue recruited the children of officials of the fifth rank and above, and the four schools recruited the children of officials of the seventh grade and above.

All the students stood outside the car, and when they saw Li Chengqian getting out of the car, they all hurriedly bowed down and saluted Li Chengqian.

Many people standing in front have seen Li Chengqian, and some even glance at Li Chengqian, obviously they have played together, but Li Chengqian doesn't know any of them at this time.

Li Chengqian looked at the young eunuchs in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "Everyone, the Lone King invited you here today to discuss the matter of composing poetry, I don't know if you are willing?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a poet, everyone and I can listen to His Royal Highness the Prince's teachings and repentance, it is really a blessing for three lives." One of the instructors replied, and the others nodded yes.

"Okay, all of you, I'll follow me in and have a look." Li Chengqian said that he should walk in first.

As soon as the students entered the courtyard and saw a mountain of corpses, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to go forward, Li Chengqian turned around and beckoned: "Come here!" "And then little by little around the mountain of corpses.

Liu Xun and Tang Jian had been freezing in it for a long time, and Li Chengqian had them forcibly pour a bowl of high-grain porridge each, and they were frozen in the snow.

As soon as the two of them saw Li Chengqian come in, their faces changed, Tang Jian still knew something, and knew that it was not a trivial matter for so many people to freeze to death.

Liu Xun thought that he was the prime minister's respect, and Li Chengqian was just a prince, and he dared to let go of the filth that the prime minister forcibly poured into the disaster victims, and also made people freeze in the snow.

I saw that his face was pale, and his eyes stared at Li Chengqian with resentment: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you know that the ministers are among the ministers who participate in politics, and they are also the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, not people you can insult and practice at will." If you don't give the minister an explanation today, the minister will come to your majesty to join you! Liu Xun's words were almost shouted, and the students who followed Li Chengqian didn't know what was going on, and looked at him with a look of astonishment.

After Liu Xun finished speaking, he stood there with his chest together, waiting for Li Chengqian to give him an answer, and the anger in his eyes could burn Li Chengqian.

"Practicing you, how can the lonely king do you?" Li Chengqian walked forward slowly, and said with a faint smile on his face.

"You forcibly poured the old minister with something to drink for the victims, and let the old minister freeze here. You are so cruel and unkind to your courtiers, how can you inherit my Tang Dynasty in the future? You are not very stubborn, you regard your courtiers as mustard, your courtiers as enemies, you are not worthy of being a Tang Dynasty......" Liu Xun is really arrogant.

Li Chengqian saw that Liu Xun had been unable to speak, and directly waved his hand and said softly: "Let him shut up." ”

The two guards stepped forward and forcibly blocked Liu Xun's mouth, Liu Xun was angry and kept fighting, but an old bone couldn't fight the two young and strong soldiers.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can you treat the prime minister of the dynasty like this?" A young priest couldn't help but question when he saw Li Chengqian bullying the elderly.

Li Chengqian didn't look back and said: "I asked you to come to listen, not to let you say!" ”

The edict was about to argue again, but was grabbed by an edict next to him, and whispered in his ear: "The prime minister is still like this, let alone you and me?"

"Has General Qiu asked all about it?" Li Chengqian turned back to Qiu Shenji and said.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I've asked clearly."

"Speak!"

"Things have to start from the poetry meeting in the Hibiscus Garden that day, His Royal Highness the Prince of Snow saw that there was going to be a snow disaster, so he asked the officials present to donate rice for disaster relief after the snow, Liu Shenzheng and Xiao Jue of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Cangbu Langzhong were present that day, and both of them pledged to donate food. Because the two of them thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted them to go to Jiangnan to buy rice after the snow disaster, they first greedily allocated disaster relief rice in Yicang, and then colluded with the lords of Chang'an and Wannian counties to buy some old sorghum to help the victims. ”

"Have they found all the rice they are greedy for?"

"I found it, and they were all hidden in the outer house of Liu Yuan, the son of Liu Shenzheng. Liu Yuan and Xiao Jue have also taken it and have been handed over to the Criminal Department for trial. ”

"Hmm" Li Chengqian nodded, and Qiu Shenji retreated.

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the people from the three academies, and said earnestly: "Be the prime minister of the court!" has always flaunted himself as honest and honest, who knew that he was such a shameless person in secret?

Liu Xun has never been a local official, nor has he led troops, it can be said that Wu can't immediately settle the world, Wen can't put pen to paper, he can be the prime minister with one mouth, and Datang treats him like a deep sea!

But what about him? As soon as he had a little power, he was so bold and reckless, regardless of the lives of the people and the safety of the world, he just put money in his waist.

Here are more than 600 people who froze to death last night, not counting the day before yesterday and Chang'an County.

You also heard it just now, and he was still bent on driving the Lone King out of the East Palace, replacing him with someone he was satisfied with entering the East Palace, and then letting their father-in-law Wan Dai hug him like this from generation to generation. ”

The students of the three institutions listened to Li Chengqian's speech, and they all opened their mouths wide, they couldn't believe that the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty had done such a shameless thing.

Li Chengqian motioned for someone to let Liu Xun go, and as soon as Liu Xun was free, he pointed at Li Chengqian and said loudly: "This is fake, you slandered the old minister." Then he said to the students: "Don't believe his nonsense, this is all made up by him to slander the old man." ”

"Liu Xun!" Li Chengqian shouted, shocking the audience, and then pointed to the pile of corpses and said sharply: "The lonely king asked you to preside over the disaster relief in Chang'an City, why did so many people starve to death?"

"People will starve to death in a disaster year, can I starve to death a few civilians and make it impossible for me, the prime minister, to pay for my life?" Liu Xun said with a stiff neck.

As soon as Liu Xun's words came out, everyone at the scene looked at him, and the lives of thousands of people were not as good as him, is this still a person?

"Liu Xun, you starved to death thousands of people, and the food for disaster relief was transported to your son's house to starve so many people to death, and it has nothing to do with natural disasters.

On that day, the lonely king said to you, 'Erfengerlu, the people are fat and the people are anointed.' The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive.

Thousands of people starved to death because of your greed, and you still think you're fine?

Are you still human?"

Liu Xun opened his mouth wide and wanted to speak several times, but when he saw thousands of students looking at him, there was resentment, contempt and even someone wanted to eat him, and his heart was completely cold.

"The official barn rat is as big as a fight,

I don't leave when I see someone open a position.

The soldiers have no food, and the people are hungry,

Who sent the dynasty into the king's mouth. ”

After Li Chengqian finished chanting this poem, he looked at Liu Xun and said: "After you die, this poem will be engraved on your tombstone, and you will be called an official hamster in the future." ”

"Good"

"Good poetry" everyone applauded.

Liu Xun's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what Li Chengqian said, pointing at Li Chengqian, and he couldn't say a word.

Li Chengqian ignored him, turned his head to the students of Sanfu and said: "I came to you today to ask you to compose poems, the poem of the lonely king has already been made, and every time you write a poem or write an article, you will express your views on today's events or Liu Xun." ”

When the students heard this, they hugged Liu Xun and sprayed wildly.

Liu Xun looked at the angry faces, kept circling around him, and his ears were full of buzzing, only to feel that his head was heavy and his chest was tight, and the last mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he fainted on the spot.

Li Chengqian also wanted to arrange disaster relief, but he ignored him, and only asked people to send him home to take care of him first.

As soon as Liu Xun woke up when he got home, his wife cried to him about her son, and when she heard that her son, who had always valued him, did such a thing behind his back, he felt a pain in his heart and fell down again.

The last time Liu Xun woke up was in the middle of the night, and as soon as he looked down, he saw a tombstone standing in front of the bed, which was engraved with Li Chengqian's poems during the day, and he screamed "official hamster" and died.
