Chapter 39: Soup kitchen

In the middle of the night, after the soup soup was completed, the whole people squatted on the ground and ate, and some children with yellow faces and thin muscles smiled on their faces, which was extremely rare and brilliant like flowers.

Seeing this scene, Sihan's heart was suddenly touched.

These days, I only know that the people's livelihood has been declining after the war, and I only know that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River have caused the refugees to lose their places, but all the tragic scenes are only imagined out of thin air in my mind, but now I have witnessed all this, and I have witnessed those children with yellow faces and thin muscles, only to know that Tanglin is in danger and the people are not able to make a living, and it has reached this point.

Thoughts were churning, and for a while, Sihan's eyes were far away, and his face was very dark.

After Qingshan finished the porridge, he was about to approach Sihan, but when he saw Sihan's face like this, he didn't dare to move forward, but stood aside nervously, carefully rubbing his sore arm, and didn't dare to make a sound.

The hours gradually passed, and the sun was like fire overhead.

After a long time, an oil-paper umbrella moved to the top of Sihan's head, slightly covering the blazing sun.

Sihan came back to her senses at this time, and subconsciously turned her eyes to look, and saw that Lan Yeyu was standing beside her at some point, holding a paper umbrella in her hand, and asked from a distance, "The eldest princess is so distracted, what are you thinking?" ”

Sihan's face was indifferent and he didn't speak.

He continued to slow down: "The refugees that the eldest princess saw today are only the tip of the iceberg. The flooded Jiangnan and its surroundings, and even the war-torn places around my Tanglin, are flooded with refugees. ”

Sihan's pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "The refugee problem really needs to be solved urgently. But it's useless to rush for a while. Now that the people are in crisis, next, the palace will reduce taxes and distribute relief funds to the disaster-stricken places across the country, so as to help the victims really survive this disaster, what does the regent want? ”

Lan Yeyu nodded slowly, and said slowly: "Tax reduction and exemption, allocation of relief funds, it is indeed acceptable." It's just that it's not long-lasting. Even, if the imperial court allocates funds, it will be like silver entering the river, although it solves the urgent need, but it is easy to cause the treasury to be empty, so it is not beneficial to the imperial court. ”

Si Han looked at him deeply, "What is the regent's good plan?" ”

He seemed to be waiting for Sihan's words, and his face gradually spread a little interest, "Carry out the refugees and recruit soldiers." ”

As he spoke, his voice raised, "Refugees join the army, and Tanglin will give them silver, so that they can use the silver to support their families." In this way, the imperial court allocated silver to save the refugees, and the silver was not completely wasted, and it also strengthened my Tanglin army, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Sihan's expression was slightly gloomy, his mind was floating, and he was slightly complicated.

I have to say that in the past two days, the words and deeds of this moth have been very different from what I thought before.

In the past, as long as this person met her, he seemed to be calculating against her at any time, but in the past two days, he seemed to have changed his temperament, and he would really discuss the affairs of the country with her, and propose a feasible way, and such a sudden change in this person caught her a little off guard.

If this person suddenly changed his ways, suddenly dissipated all his anger and turned into a loyal minister, she would have been a little unbelievable anyway.

After all, people's hearts and human nature cannot be said to change.

The more I thought about it, the more complicated my thoughts became, and even, deep in my heart, there was a hazy and empty feeling circling, inexplicably feeling unknown, but as for where it was unknown, she couldn't analyze it, but she had this feeling in her heart, empty and not good, unable to meet, but lingering.

Si Hanwu stood on his own and fell silent.

After a while, Lan Yeyu's warm and waveless voice rose again, "Today's timing is just right, it's not easy to postpone it too much, so as not to affect the progress of recruitment, yes, at this time, the eldest princess wants to let the county order arrange the recruitment?" ”

His voice was extremely calm, calm and calm, and his tone was calm and unwavering, and there was nothing unusual about him.

Sihan came back to his senses at this time, staring at him with a cold gaze, "The regent took the initiative to invite the palace to come over today, but he had already planned to let the palace recruit refugees as soldiers?" ”

He smiled slightly, his face was still calm, but he never refutated, he was silent for a moment, and said elegantly and slowly: "Although Weichen is a powerful minister, he does not dare to recruit refugees as soldiers without authorization, nor does he dare to hoard troops without authorization. The invitation of the eldest princess today is to appease the hearts of the refugees, and secondly, it is indeed to recruit soldiers. After all, there are many young and strong men among the refugees here, and it is not a problem to recruit 500 troops. ”

As soon as the words arrived here, he paused, and saw that Sihan's eyes were getting deeper and deeper, and his pupils almost imperceptibly slipped through half a wisp of helplessness, and then he seemed to be extremely sincere and serious: "Eldest princess, Weichen's move is for the sake of Tanglin." ”

Is it?

Even the moth, who never came to the rescue when the country was broken, let alone showed up, would seriously tell her that he was thinking about Tanglin.

Now that the people's hearts are unstable, it is not a good thing for refugees to suddenly recruit troops, but it has to be said that Tanglin is indeed not strong, and Tanglin may not be able to roll troops to come, and it is also urgent to expand Tanglin's troops.

His thoughts were churning, his face was full of complexity, and he did not speak.

Lan Yeyu didn't say anything more, just stood beside her calmly.

After a while, when the refugees were about to get up and leave, Si Hancai's pupils shrank, turned his eyes to look at Lan Yeyu, and said in a deep voice: "Although the recruitment of refugees can be carried out, let the county commanders have a better attitude, if there are men who are completely unwilling to serve as soldiers, there is no need to be too embarrassed." ”

"In today's troubled times, if the eldest princess is blindly kind-hearted, it may be disadvantageous." Lan Yeyu spoke slowly, his tone was a little lazy, as if he was comforting and ridiculing.

Sihan said lightly: "If you don't want to be a soldier, even if you force him to be a soldier, he may not be able to work hard for the country, maybe he will escape on the battlefield." ”

He hooked his lips and smiled, and only said, "The eldest princess is thoughtful. As he spoke, his voice raised, "For the recruitment of soldiers, Weichen will order the county order to do it." Within three days, we will strive to rush the recruited refugee troops into the school field for training. ”

Sihan didn't speak immediately, when she swept her gaze around, her eyes were fixed on those skinny children, for a while, her heart ached slightly, but for a moment, she lowered her eyes, forcibly pressed the waves in her heart, and responded to Lan Ye in a low voice, "Hmm." ”

At this time, as the princess of Tanglin, she really has to recruit troops and buy horses everywhere to strengthen Donglin's troops.

It's just that among the people, the most disliked thing is that the strong man enlisted in the army, after all, once the strong man enlisted in the army, then there were only yellow-haired women and children left in the homes of these flat-headed people.

And every time they celebrate the festival, they will not reunite with their families, but lack people and strength, and even pray in fear every day, praying that the husband is safe.

War harms people, but in this troubled world, those battles on the battlefield, the war between the two countries can break out at any time.

The war does not stop, the monarch of the country, even if he is sympathetic to the people and cannot be reunited, he must be ruthlessly ignored, even if she Yan Sihan has a merciful heart, she can't, she can't do it for the sake of Tanglin, and she can't carry out the mercy to the end.

At this point, Sihan let out a long sigh.

When she came back to her senses, Lan Yeyu was looking at her with a little interest, and asked leisurely: "The eldest princess is reluctant to let the refugees join the army?" Still soft-hearted? ”

Sihan's pupils shrank, glanced at him coldly, and then snatched the paper umbrella in his hand slightly and simply, "The regent still hasn't gone to do something?" ”

He hooked his lips and smiled, said no more, and then turned away, and summoned several county commanders to gather not far away to speak.

Sihan glanced at Lan Yeyu twice, and then his gaze was roundabout, and he met the slender eyes of Qingshan not far away.

In an instant, Qingshan's eyes trembled twice, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes, and then violently reached out and pushed away the woman with heavy makeup who was standing beside him and rubbing his arm.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Sihan's indifferent eyes and cold face, she was startled, and then timidly moved her broken steps and hid behind Qingshan.

"Today's soup soup is hard work. The palace wanted to praise Yue Hou for two sentences, but unexpectedly, Yue Hou was served by a beautiful woman, and it seemed that he was very comfortable. It was only a moment before Sihan pressed his heart and spoke out in a deep and shallow voice.

Qingshan was tense, as if he was facing a great enemy, and then looked at Sihan with a weak heart, and smiled with a dog's leg, "Eldest princess, Weichen was wronged, it was she who was rude to touch Weichen first, Weichen was about to push her away, but before she could do it, she was seen by the eldest princess." ”

After speaking, ignoring the stunned face of the woman with heavy makeup, he immediately ran towards Sihan, and then stood in front of Sihan, and said enthusiastically: "The eldest princess Jin Zhi Yuye, how can she personally hold the umbrella, let Weichen hold the umbrella for the eldest princess." ”

As he spoke, he was eager to snatch the paper umbrella in Sihan's hand.

Sihan didn't refuse, let him take the paper umbrella, and then glanced back at the woman with heavy makeup who was full of astonishment and grievances, and said in a deep and shallow voice: "Yue Hou's beauty is charming, Chu Chu is pitiful, even if the palace looks at her, she feels that the charm is not shallow." Such a beautiful woman, she is full of grievances at this time, and Yue Hou can't go over to comfort and comfort? ”

Qingshan hurriedly said: "She asked for it, she had to hook Weichen out of the city today, and she had to touch Weichen, Weichen counted her down two sentences, which she deserved." ”

Sihan's expression was slightly gloomy.

The prodigal son on the Fengyue field, although he is arrogant and lascivious, but he also treats the beauties of the land of Fengyue very much, but this Qingshan is different, although he is arrogant and lascivious, although he likes Fengyue, but he only focuses on himself, and it is also like crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and turning his face in a blink of an eye, he is also easy to control, and he can catch it.

In his eyes, women are just robes that can be changed at any time, and these people he likes are also unlucky.

Moreover, I have to say that this Qingshan is not unintelligent, it is not that it is not tactful, but that it is not good for philistines and sleekness, and it is even used in the wrong place.

Sihan was silent for a moment, then gathered his mind a little, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Yue Hou still hasn't had a long memory, and in front of this palace, he dares to talk nonsense." ”

His hand holding the oil-paper umbrella trembled, his eyebrows and eyes were about to squeeze together, and he said with a suffocated face: "Eldest princess, Weichen knows that he is wrong." But it was she who took the initiative to touch Weichen, and took the initiative to rub her hands for Weichen, Weichen kept giving porridge today, and her arm was indeed very sore. ”

The aggrieved voice is a little immoral when it comes out of a big man's mouth.

What's more, this Qingshan was obviously full of grievances, and those slender eyes couldn't stop smiling at her, coupled with his white face, a soft and fragile meaning that seemed to be dyed in the land of wind and moon couldn't be concealed, Sihan was stunned, and gradually looked away, and couldn't help but sigh again How did the old Yuehou give birth to such an arrogant and useless son.

"The matter between you and that woman, this palace has nothing to care about. This palace will give you a chance to come with you all this time, and you will tell me what is wrong with you these days? ”

Sihan forcibly pressed his heart and spoke in a low voice, and as soon as these words came out, he suddenly realized that his words suddenly seemed to be saying to an immature child.

However, Qingshan frowned, stared at her cautiously, and replied like a child, "Weichen, Weichen is wrong to ignore the eldest princess's ban and go out of the city to play." ”

Sihan's pupils shrank, and he said casually: "What else?" ”

And also?

The corners of Qingshan's mouth stiffened, and the palms holding the handle of the umbrella were about to sweat, "Also, there should be no deception to the eldest princess, saying that Weichen is Weichen's cousin." ”

Sihan was not satisfied, and continued in a low voice: "That's all? ”

Qingshan couldn't help but start reaching out and picking his head, his face full of bitterness.
