Chapter 592: The Grace of Survival
Out of Jinju City, there is still a hot scene outside the city.
The officials and the people were very busy, busy going up the mountain to collect wood, busy building tents. The existing tents are enough for the refugees in Jinzhou, but Li Su, Yu Tingshi and others agreed that the news of the release of grain outside Jinju will soon spread, and refugees from all sides will inevitably hear the news, so the existing tents will inevitably be insufficient, and tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people will live together in the future, and they must not be too crowded, otherwise it is easy to spread diseases, and it is imperative to expand the tents.
The carriage and horse stayed outside the city for a long time, Li Su and Li Zhi rode on the horse, quietly watching Yu Tingshi with a tired face and commanding the people to build the project, officials at all levels were busy before and after, the people were carrying wood and quarrying, and the men in the distance kept stirring in the huge iron pot with a big spoon, and the cold wind was faintly mixed with a little porridge fragrance......
A smile bloomed at the corner of Li Su's mouth.
Thousands of years in China, in fact, is a history of thousands of years of suffering, natural disasters, man-made disasters, wars, plagues, all kinds of tribulations are mercilessly imposed on these hard-working and simple people, countless people have died because of this, and countless people are born with hope, there is always a spirit passed down from generation to generation, that is, to live without accepting fate, and compete with God for life.
Despite many tribulations, this nation is still thriving from generation to generation, fighting against the sky, against disasters, and with people.
It was still gloomy weather, and it was still a bleak early spring, but at this moment, Li Su seemed to see a green spring outside Jinju City, and flowers were blooming in the green grassland.
"Let's go!"
Li Suyi reluctantly glanced at the vibrant scene again, waved his hand and ordered.
Ahead, there are still all kinds of hardships and hardships waiting for him, like these people outside the city, gritting his teeth to overcome them one by one, to get through, to live, and not to slack off.
The guard of honor set off slowly, and the wheels of the cart creaked and turned.
Thousands of honor guards, more than 2,000 temporarily recruited people escorted 5,000 stone of grain, and the vast procession soon attracted the attention of officials and people outside the city.
Yu Tingshi, who was commanding the project in the distance, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lifted the hem of his official robe and ran towards Li Su and the others.
Li Su waved at him from afar, stopped his actions with a smile, and bowed his hand to him as a farewell.
Yu Tingshi stopped, his eyes seemed to be a little red, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly: "All the officials and people, stop the work in hand!" ”
The surrounding officials and people were stunned, stopped in confusion, and looked at Yu Tingshi curiously.
Yu Tingshi took a deep breath, and said loudly in a hoarse voice: "The officials and people of Jinzhou, thank His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the grace of the Marquis of Li County in Jingyang, the emperor's grace is vast, Ze is the people, born in the world, the luck of the common people!" ”
After Yu Tingshi finished speaking, all the officials and people around him were stunned for a moment, and then knelt down to Li Su and Li Zhi one after another, and even the women, children, and old people who were resting in the tent also walked out of the tent one after another, and bowed down to the two young men on the horses from a distance.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Jin, the grace of Marquis Li's life!"
The sound is like thousands of horses rushing together, shaking the mountains and wilderness.
Li Su's eyes were also red, he pursed his lips and didn't say a word, Li Zhi on the side was already so moved that he sat in the saddle and burst into tears.
Together with Li Zhi, they silently turned over and dismounted, and the two of them straightened their clothes and crowns, and solemnly waved at the people who were kneeling around them to salute in return.
"Li Su (Li Zhi) thanked the father and elder ...... Jinju," the two said in unison.
Straightening up, Li Su laughed with tears in his eyes, waved his hand around, and said, "Fathers, please get up, everyone...... Be sure to live well! ”
After saying that, the two got on the horse, glanced around nostalgically, and the team slowly set off again.
The officials and citizens of Jinju still knelt on the ground, quietly watching the honor guard gradually move away.
***************************************************************
The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.
Saving a person from fire and water is just a small road, relieving all the people from hanging upside down, so it is called the avenue.
Walking on the way to Jinyang, Li Zhi has been in a state of excitement, and even Li Su, who has lived two lives and has seen a lot, has been in a state of excitement for a long time.
Li Zhi's face was full of light, he was scratching his ears and cheeks while riding on a horse, and he was so excited that he didn't know how to vent.
Li Su turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Your Highness is very happy?" ”
"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Zhi first knew the joy of doing good today, but it turned out to be like this...... So ......"
"Satisfied? Plenum? Li Su smiled and helped him answer.
"Yes, satisfied, fulfilling, like drinking elixir, hearty......" Li Zhi smiled shyly, and then sighed: "Zhi lives in the palace all the year round, I don't know the people's suffering, when my father sent me to Jinyang, I was actually a little reluctant in my heart, I felt that it was a thankless drudgery, but today I saw the people outside Jinzhou City to thank me, I suddenly felt that no matter how much suffering I suffered, no matter how tired I was, it was worth it." ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Your Majesty often hangs on the lips of 'water also carries boats, water also overturns boats', His Royal Highness lives in the palace, may not be able to understand the deep meaning of this sentence, what I have seen with my own eyes today, I think I must know that it is true, the people of the Tang Dynasty are kind and content, as long as they are not hungry, they are willing to support the powerful including your father and the emperor, 'the people are water, Jun is the boat', this is the truth, so the water carries the boat, the water capsized, those of us who do the boat, should also bear some responsibility for the water, what we do in Jinju is part of the responsibility. ”
Li Zhi looked confused, and nodded as if he didn't understand.
Li Su glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.
is still a child, there are not many truths in the world that can really be understood, and it is almost enough to say this, and the days to come will be long, and it will slowly and imperceptibly.
Since his acquaintance with Li Zhi, Li Su has consciously or unconsciously instilled some truths in him, some of which are easy to understand, some are more profound, some of which Li Zhi understands, and some of whom cannot be deeply understood.
As the prince who will inevitably inherit the throne of Li Shimin in the future, become the prince of the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and create a feat that is not inferior to Zhenguan under his governance, Li Su feels that he has the responsibility to implant all positive energy in his bones when Li Zhi is still young.
Because of his arrival, the general trend and direction of some history have changed, but Li Su has gradually liked this simple and simple era, and under the premise of not too tired, let this dynasty go higher, farther, stronger, the role and influence of the emperor on the country is very huge, Li Su hopes that Li Shimin will be able to produce another Ming monarch, a holy monarch, live up to the expectations of the people of the world, shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country, and continue to lead the Tang Empire forward.
This is the reason why Li Su, such a lazy and outrageous person, took the trouble to instill the little kid with the truth of life and chicken soup for the soul along the way.
After saying the big truth, in fact, Li Su also felt awkward, he found that he was very unaccustomed to saying these big truths, and the things that he instilled in Li Zhi all the way, even he sometimes couldn't do it, a typical fake big empty slogan, fortunately, the little kid actually believed it without doubt.
It's good, I like this kind of little kid who is easy to fool.
The team walked out of Jinzhou Baili, and then entered the Jinyang boundary, the place names of the two places seem to be only one word, but in fact they are hundreds of miles apart, and the current team in addition to the honor guards, there are also people and a cart of food, so these hundreds of miles of road to say less also have to go for more than ten days.
…………
After the excitement, the days that should be lived must be continued, and the road that should be walked must be continued.
The procession soon became silent again, moving slowly and silently.
"Brother Zizheng, it's so boring......"
After listening to the truth, Li Zhi felt bored, the journey, it was so boring, there was no mobile phone to play music and watch movies or anything these days, riding on a horse all day long, tired and tasteless, a child of Li Zhi's age can endure it all the way, Li Su feels quite admired.
Li Su glanced at him obliquely: "Your Highness is boring?" Do you want to find dozens of Kabuki for His Highness to come over and sing and dance around the palace? ”
Li Zhi's eyes lit up: "In this wilderness, Brother Zizheng really has a way to get it......"
Before he finished speaking, looking at Li Su's expressionless face, Li Zhi suddenly stopped talking, and said dejectedly: "Brother Zizheng, you are scolding me again......"
Immediately, his expression immediately became flattering, mixed with a hint of obscenity, and Li Su pursed his lips in disgust.
"Brother Zizheng, the story of the Three Kingdoms, how many days have I not told the story of the Three Kingdoms......" Li Zhiyang begged.
"Three Kingdoms...... Have I not extorted all your belongings? Got money to listen to stories again? Li Su showed a philistine face.
Li Zhi: "............"
What about the tall image of Brother Zizheng just now? What about the righteous appearance of "the people are like water, and the king is like a boat"? The style of painting changes too quickly, and the little kid can't adapt to the psychological gap for a while.
"Governing ...... Write an IOU, and return it in full when you return to Chang'an. Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said.
Li Su took out a thick stack of IOUs from his arms and said slowly: "Your Highness, how much do you owe me along the way?" Are you sure you can return it when you go back to Chang'an? ”
"Brother Zizheng looked at my sincere expression......" Li Zhi blinked his eyes and was cute.
Tut!
Li Su is so disgusted that he can't do it, the little kid hasn't learned well these days, and even his signature tone has been learned......
"Okay, write the IOU first, and then talk about the story...... Where was the last time you talked about it? ”
"Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu." The kid has a good memory.
"Oh, yes, Sanying fought against Lu Bu, it was said that the traitor Dong Zhuo usurped the government, and Cao Cao summoned the princes of the eighteen roads in the world to beg for thieves...... Wait, who is this? What is he writing about? Li Su stopped talking, and looked curiously at a person dressed as a scribe who had just been summoned by Li Zhi, although this person was dressed as a scribe, but his horseback riding skills were good, not only let go of the reins with both hands, but also held a pen in one hand, and a hardwood board in the other, on which a stack of papers was spread.
Li Zhi smiled flatteringly: "Brother Zizheng, don't doubt it, Zhi just wants to remember it, your story is too interesting, it's not enough to listen to it once, so the scribe of Zhizhi wrote it down, and read it again when there are flaws......"
Li Su glanced at him and said leisurely: "Remember the story...... This, the price is different, if the price increases, the copyright fee or something...... Uh-huh. ”
"Write an IOU again." The little fart said happily, with a single face that has more debts and no itching than lice. (To be continued.) )
