Chapter 201 The flood of victims
After Zhao Zhen left, the Wu Family Flower Hall became a little abnormal, and Ouyang Xiu said in a gloomy manner: "I'm afraid today's incident will have a great impact on Brother Zhao Xian, after all, he is a young man!" ā
Cai Qi smiled and said, "Oh? Is that really the case? Why is he much more mature than you in the old man's opinion! ā
"Uncle Cai, you're making fun of me again!"
In the face of Ouyang Xiu's dissatisfaction, Ouyang Ye sneered and picked up his wine glass, but Wu Cai shook his head and said: "The young man just now had a clear mind, spoke and acted politely and politely, the main thing is that his words can always be straight to the point!" Among such people, the dragon and phoenix are indeed unattainable in my family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Cai Qi nodded and smiled: "You are a awakened person!" ā
With Ouyang Xiu's intelligence, he instantly understood the trick, Zhao Zhen just said that for his face, he couldn't help but blush and muttered to himself: "Is there really such a delicate person in the world?" ā
Ouyang Ye, who had been silent, spoke: "Why not? The Holy One is today! I now think that Brother Zisi's guess should be right! ā
Cai Qi asked, "Oh? How can you see it? ā
"The young man just now is so clear about the will and time issued by the official family, plus the age is similar, who else is there besides the official family himself?"
Ouyang Ye's words made Wu Cai, who was accompanying the wine, tremble, and the wine glass in his hand clanged and fell on the plate, "It's actually an official!" I just had a drink with the official family?! ā
In Wu Cai's guess, Zhao Zhen should be a child of the clan, but he never expected that he himself would actually be the official family of the Great Song Dynasty! I couldn't help but be excited, and when he recalled what he had just said, he suddenly became afraid.
And Ouyang Xiu on the side sat still motionless, he was already stunned by the shocking news, was he calling the official family a brother just now?
also made a grand wish in front of him that he would take the high school imperial examination next year!
Thinking about this, I feel that I am a fool's dream, and I don't know how arrogant the disadvantages of the imperial examination have just been listed to leave on the official family!
Cai Qi smiled when he saw Ouyang Xiu's appearance: "Look at your panicked appearance, didn't you notice that what you said just now was all introduced by the official family?" He might still be taking the school exam! ā
"Is the official's answer to me like?"
"I don't know this, how can the thoughts of the official family be my guess!"
After Cai Qi's explanation, Ouyang Xiu also smiled, "I can't care much if the official family doesn't like it, I just know that I just said what I want to say, and it can be regarded as a depression in my chest." ā
Ouyang Ye nodded and said, "That's fine!" ā
Wu Cai saw that the atmosphere was much better, so he said to Ouyang Xiu: "Next year, even if it is the year of the imperial examination, may the virtuous nephew be named on the gold list!" ā
Cai Qi stroked his beard and said to Ouyang Xiu with a smile: "The title of the gold list still needs to be read hard, but it is a nail in the coffin!" How can you kid He De actually let the official family tell you the matchmaker! This is going to get out, who else dares to marry this little lady of the Wu family?! ā
At the mention of this matter, Ouyang Xiu's face instantly turned red: "Uncle Cai is laughing at the kid again!" ā
Wu Cai, who reacted on the side, was extremely remorseful at this time, no wonder he just asked his daughter if it was okay to be a concubine! Of course, the emperor's woman is a concubine! I knew that this young man was the saint today, let alone being a concubine, even if he was a palace maid who always accompanied him......
Thinking that he had just passed by the emperor's relatives, Wu Cai felt uncomfortable in his heart, not to mention that if his daughter married the emperor, he would be the emperor's father-in-law, and he would be able to get the title of the emperor's father-in-law.
But Wu Cai, who has been in the shopping mall for many years, will not have it anymore if he loses it, since he has made a two-year contract with the Ouyang family in front of the official family, he must fulfill it, not to mention that this Ouyang Xiu's young man is favored by the official family, and his future prospects must be limitless, even if he pays homage to the prime minister, it is not impossible.
I comforted myself with a sour heart: "Compared to living in the palace, it's better to let my daughter marry the kid of the Ouyang family!" Thinking of this, Wu Cai's heart finally balanced, and he became even more enthusiastic about Ouyang Xiu.
In the Kangping Fang outside the Wu family, several fast horses galloped past, Zhao Zhen kept waving the whip in his hand, and Peng Qi, who was watching, was afraid that he would fall off the horse.
How did he know Zhao Zhen's anger at this time, on the way to Gongxian, he ordered the neighboring state capitals to send food to Dengzhou and Ruzhou, in his opinion, it should be able to alleviate the urgent need, waiting for the rescue of the imperial court, what he is most afraid of is that the people leave their hometown and go to Beijing!
Well, now that the victims of the disaster did not go to Tokyo City, they all came to Xijing in unison, why is this? It's not for me, the son of the Great Song Dynasty!
Zhao Zhen is not worried about the civil unrest, but worried that the victims will lose too much on the road, compared to guarding the city and waiting for help, the loss on the road is even more amazing!
How could the victims of the disaster not know this simple truth, but they still came to Xijing in droves, which can only show two problems, either the food from the neighboring state capitals did not arrive on time, or the officials in Dengzhou and Ruzhou had no choice but to let the victims leave to fend for themselves.
No matter which one it is, Zhao Zhen can't bear it.
Riding on the horse and thinking about it, Zhao Zhen suddenly grabbed the reins, and the strong inertia almost threw him out, and Peng Qi broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it: "What's wrong with the official family?" ā
"I'm not going back to the palace!"
"No...... Not going back to the palace?! Peng Qi was frightened by Zhao Zhen's words, looked at the bright moon in the sky and asked in horror, "Then where are we going?" ā
"Out of town! I want to see how many victims there are and what the situation of the victims is! If you don't ramble any more, you'll go by yourself! ā
Peng Qi waved his hand helplessly to the guards, "If the official family wants to leave the city, Peng Qi won't stop it, and he can't stop it, can you let the brothers of the pro-health division follow?" ā
Zhao Zhen nodded and agreed, Peng Qi's words were beyond reproach, it was not safe to go out of the city at night, and at this time, you must not think that you were possessed by a real dragon, and the little people would not tell who you were in the middle of the night.
Peng Qi took Zhao Zhen to the city gate slowly, waiting for the arrival of the guards of the pro-health division, he secretly used his eyes from time to time to secretly take a large number of Zhao Zhen on horseback, it seems that today's official family is angry, and I don't know what those people in Wu Cai's family said, how to make the official family so angry.
The gate of such an important town as Luoyang City cannot be opened casually, when the forbidden army guarding the gate sees the official decree and immediately opens the door, the will of the official family in the Great Song Dynasty is the supreme law, and it can even be said to be above the law.
Is the emperor's exit to Chengxian a joke?
After leaving the city, Zhao Zhen was escorted by the guards and walked towards Peng Po Town, according to Wu Cai, the victims waited to get there tonight, but Zhao Zhen and the others couldn't walk just after they arrived in Longmen Town.
The road on the official road was densely packed with disaster victims, and even the horses had nowhere to stay.
In the early spring, the victims had little clothes to keep out the cold, and a woman lay on the side of the road and drank cold water until she was about to vomit and did not stop, just hoping to let the child in her arms drink a little milk.
There are almost no old people in sight among the victims, but they are all young and strong laborers.
The children tightened the belts of their trousers, hoping that this would reduce the hunger relief in solitude, and even more so, they would put their legs on the tree to ease the feeling of remembering.
When the victims saw a group of people on horseback coming, they immediately surrounded them, knelt on the ground and took out the crying baby: "Good deeds, take this child!" I don't want anything, just give him something to eat! ā
Looking at this kind of hellish miserable situation in the world, not to mention a high-ranking emperor like Zhao Zhen, even Peng Qi, a trained guard, couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes.
It was so miserable, the trees on the road were bare, and all the wild vegetables and weeds on both sides were pulled out and eaten.
At this time, even the grass roots are the food for life.
Zhao Zhen hated that he didn't bring anything with him when he went out of the city, and he had some things on his body that were the least valuable to the victims in front of him.
"Which of you has food on you? Leave them all! Peng Qi, you take my private seal fast horse to Xijing's Changping warehouse to transport grain! Directly transport the grain to Longmen Town! Be quick! ā
Peng Qi took the seal thrown by Zhao Zhen and hugged his fists on the horse and said, "Don't worry, son, I'll go!" Before leaving, he didn't forget to whisper to Li Jiu: "Protect the official family!" ā
He could see that Zhao Zhen was on the verge of breaking out, and at this time, it was better for the official family to do whatever he wanted.
