The situation changes with the change of the saints, this is a dazzling pyramid, the people below are always staring at the face of the top layer, with the likes and dislikes of the top layer, and the wind direction of the whole pyramid also changes with the change of the top layer.

The famous grandson Wuji, who is famous in history, is not exempt from vulgarity, he will never stand in line casually, let alone make any decisions rashly, the first thing he needs to see before making any decision is Li Shimin's face, the eldest grandson family must maintain a high degree of consistency with the heavenly family, in order to truly achieve the interests of the family and the country, in order to ensure that the big ship of the eldest grandson family will not be overturned by the suspicion of the heavenly family at any time.

The same is true today.

Li Chengqian's low-profile visit, his tone and attitude have even reached the level of inferiority, coupled with the undisputed status of the eldest son, and the relationship with the eldest grandson's uncle and nephew, such a close relationship is impeccable and closely linked from interests to blood, but the eldest grandson Wuji still did not express his position easily.

Because Li Shimin's attitude is unclear, it is impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji's attitude to be clear.

This kind of major juncture of the struggle for the throne, every step may determine the rise and fall of the family, the eldest grandson Wuji can't afford to take this risk, even if the object of the adventure is his own nephew, he can't bet the fate of the entire eldest grandson family on the gambling table for Li Chengqian, this is obviously very cost-effective, in the face of interests and life and death, no matter how close the blood relationship is, what is it? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Li Chengqian, the crown prince, is deposed, the person who takes over his crown prince will inevitably be the concubine of Empress Changsun's own son-in-law, and he is also a blood relative of the eldest grandson's family, so is there a difference between who goes up and who goes down?

Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji chose two stoves, one to burn the prince's hot stove, and the other to burn the cold stove of King Wei.

As for the third-ranked concubine, the twelve-year-old Jin King Li Zhi, this name only flashed in the mind of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then immediately shook his head and denied it.

The first two are about to break their heads, either A or B, and it is impossible for the third child to sit in this position.

One is too young, twelve years old, he can't do the crown ceremony, and he is still a little kid who doesn't know anything. The second is that there are no connections in the court, there is no camp, the only reliance is the emperor's favor, and the third is nothing, at this age, you can't see his character, you can't see his knowledge, you can't see his way of life, it can be said that he has no special skills, and he is so ordinary that he can't be eye-catching, how can such a little kid be selected to be the prince?

The eldest grandson Wuji was completely indifferent to Li Zhi, and he was also sure that Li Zhi had no hope of participating in such a complicated battle of the East Palace, so, well, ignored it.

************************************************************

Jinyang County.

"Brother Zizheng, do you think I'm often ignored?"

Li Zhi opened his stupid eyes and looked at Li Su with a look of loss.

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

Li Zhi sighed and said faintly in a tone pretending to be an adult: "Look, I've been in Jinyang for a long time, right?" You're all busy giving to the people these days, aren't you? Sun Xianling is busy, you are also busy, even Fu Shanyan beside me is busy, it seems that you can always find something to do, there are always things to do, but what about me, I, a dignified prince, can only sit by the tent outside the city every day, squatting by the tent outside the city, or lying on the side of the tent when I am tired, watching you go around...... Everyone who walks by me will look at me and then turn around and walk by as if they didn't see anything......"

Li Su was stunned for a moment, then stroked Li Zhi's dog head with a smile, and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to do anything, as long as you stand outside the city, so that the people can see you standing there by the way when they receive government relief, your role will be fully achieved, like, well, like the drawbridge at the city gate, it looks useless, but in fact, it ...... It's still nice to look there. ”

These comforting words obviously made Li Zhi's mood even more depressed, he looked up at him, and then lowered his head and sighed in disappointment.

Li Su smiled, not planning to continue to comfort.

The little kid has a fragile glass heart, so he naturally needs to be comforted, but he can't get used to it too much, after all, Li Su is at most his cheap brother-in-law, not his father......

…………

Sun Furen is indeed very busy, and it seems that he has been even busier since Li Su and his party came to Jinyang, but unlike before, he is busy and happy.

Knowing that Li Su brought a lot of food this time, the people of Jinyang at least would not be starved to death, the food brought by Li Su greatly relieved his pressure, as the commander of Jinyang County, what he has to do now is to go to the mountains and countryside to mobilize the people to gather outside the city to receive food from the government.

It's just that the mobilization work is not done well, because of the snow disaster, the people in many villages have gone early, which is also something that Li Su still finds strange, almost all the villages around Jinyang have become ghost villages and ghost villages, there is no one in it, less than 10,000 people outside the city receive relief food, and many people have disappeared for no reason.

After waiting for three or four days, Sun Furen came back from the villages outside the city, and by the way, he also brought back two or three thousand people, who were the fruits of his labor in the past few days.

It is incomprehensible that less than 10,000 people have fled in a large county with a population of 200,000.

Sun Furen's face was not very good when he came back, he was busy walking between the villages in the past few days, gradually, he also felt that something was wrong, the people could not flee so much, after all, in this era, the idea of "the homeland is difficult to leave" is still deep-rooted, not to the point of starving to death immediately, no one is willing to leave the native hometown easily, but the people of the villages in Jinyang ran away in one breath, as if the gods had changed a trick, and the people were changed with a wave of their hands, which was really abnormal.

…………

"Dare to ask Marquis Li, this landlord named Wei Congli...... Who the hell is it? Why did he let him live in the county office? Sun Furen asked puzzled.

After days of running around, and with little success, Sun Furen's spirit was very bad, his face was also very bad, his face was full of haggard and tired, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and even the most basic clothes and manners of officials looked like a mess.

Li Su sighed and said: "Sun County Ling has worked hard, these days I have seen you running around, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and I admire it very much, but after all, you are the parents of Jinyang County, at this critical juncture, your body is especially important, the livelihood of all people is tied to one, you have to take good care." ”

Sun Furen sighed: "Where my duty lies, I have to do it, but I want to be worthy of Your Majesty, and I am worthy of Li Min...... Marquis Li, in the past few days, thanks to you and Your Highness sitting in the shanty outside the city to help the people, and sharing a lot of things for the lower officials, the lower officials are grateful......

After a pause, Sun Furen pointed to Wei Congli, who was wandering around and yawning in the garden of the backyard of the county government, and said suspiciously: "It's just ...... Who is this, and why did the Hou Ye take him into the county government to live? ”

Li Su turned his head to look at Wei Congli, a slight chuckle on the corner of his mouth, and said, "He...... It's a guest, well, please ask Sun County Ling to ask the people in the house to entertain you, just eat and drink, maybe ......"

"Maybe what?"

Li Su said with a smile: "Perhaps, the mystery of the disappearance of the people of Jinyang, this person knows a few clues, these days are busy with disaster relief, after the villagers outside the city settle down, I will have a good chat with him, toast or punish wine, after all, I have to eat the same." ”

Sun Furen was taken aback, turned his head to look at Wei Congli, and then nodded: "Since it is ordered by the Hou Ye, the lower officials should obey it, and there are also torture instruments in the Jinyang County Prison, if the Hou Ye wants to torture, just take it and use it." ”

Li Su smiled: "Using the torture instrument has fallen down, don't worry, I have a hundred ways to make him speak honestly, or...... Let him regret why he was born into this world. ”

******************************************************************

The weather is finally clearing.

When he woke up early in the morning, Li Su saw a trace of golden sunlight pouring on the ground through the pane, Li Su was startled, turned over, didn't care about tidying up his clothes, hurriedly ran out of the door, looked up at the fiery red and dazzling sun in the sky, and after being stunned, he couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, come on! Get up, and the sun is out! Li Su raised his voice and shouted in the courtyard.

Soon, the backyard of Jinyang County became lively, Li Zhi rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and walked out of the door in a daze, Li Su stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, Li Zhi screamed and immediately woke up.

"Your Highness, the sun is out, the rainy weather has passed, follow me out of the city!" Li Su smiled happily.

Li Zhi looked confused and said, "What about the sun?" ”

"With the sun, everything has vitality, or rather, the snow disaster has come to an end......," Li Su patiently explained: "Although the spring sowing time has passed, but at least we can artificially save something, what we need to do now is to organize the villagers to return to their hometowns, immediately dig ditches to divert water and sow seeds, maybe this year's harvest is not too good, but at least there are some meager harvests, which is much better than no harvest." ”

Li Zhi understood, and his worried expression gradually released light, like the sunshine after the snow, and his spirit was full of energy.

Turning his head, Li Su ordered to call Sun County Order, but he heard the report from the Ministry of Song, saying that Sun County Order went out of the city and went to the countryside before dawn.

Li Su was silent for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, this county order ...... is really too competent, in comparison, his own marquis is like a lazy green leaf, setting off the red flower of Sun County's order.

Slanted his eyes and glanced at Li Zhi, who looked stupid and ignorant next to him, Li Su pursed his lips in disgust.

Well, this guy is another green leaf......

…………

On the way out of the city, the Praetorian Guard opened the way in front, Li Su and Li Zhi walked, and the two discussed the spring sowing of the lost sheep with great interest as they walked.

"However, the people have fled, there are less than 10,000 people in the tents outside the city in the entire Jinyang, who will sow seeds in such a big place as Jinyang?" Li Zhi asked puzzled.

Li Sudao: "The most important thing at the moment is to rush the spring with God, and we can't delay for a moment, so these people outside the city should let them go home immediately, and tell them that the government will not cut off the relief, and there will be special people to send food to the villages and villages, those who have fled and no one has sown the fields at home, we mobilize all forces to sow the seeds first, such as mobilizing the people to sow seeds for compensation, and even using our guards and the soldiers of the state to help the people sow seeds, as long as the seeds are sown, there will be no urgency, those people who have fled their hometowns and homelands, Whether they did flee or went into hiding, getting them back was the next thing we had to do. ”

Li Zhi nodded, and then sighed: "I don't know where those people have gone, do they all think that if they go to Chang'an, they must have a way to live?" They are all dragged with their families, there are several mouths in the family, they have to eat and drink every day, how much food is enough for them to eat in Chang'an? ”

Li Su was silent for a moment and said: "Not necessarily all of them have fled to Chang'an, Jinyang's population of 200,000, if all of them flee to Chang'an, think about it, there are nearly 200,000 people in Jinyang under Chang'an City alone, Your Majesty and the courtiers must not be anxious?" Chang'an should have had a will a long time ago, but now there is no news from Chang'an, which means that there are not many people who have fled, at least not many people have fled to Chang'an......"

"Brother Zizheng, does that Wei Congli really know anything inside?"

"Maybe I know, maybe I don't know, I just feel suspicious, now we are like headless flies in Jinyang, everything has no clue, but anything suspicious is a hope for us to open a breakthrough, and we would rather catch mistakes than let go."

Li Zhi said with a bitter face: "I always feel that this place in Jinyang is very evil, and anything strange can happen......"

Li Su sighed: "Why did the octogenarian woman die tragically on the street, why did a hundred sows scream in the middle of the night, why did the guards often hear moaning, why His Highness's close-fitting calf pants were frequently stolen, and behind all this is the distortion of human nature or the degradation of morality......"

The more Li Zhi listened, the more shocked he became, his eyes widened in horror, his hands unconsciously covered his body, and his face was pale and trembled: "So many things have happened in Jinyang? Also, stole my ...... ...... calf pants? ”

Li Su glanced at him lightly: "...... No, you're nervous about anything, I'm just analogy with the strange things that might happen. ”

Li Zhi: "............"

The two of them were talking, but their steps were not slow, and when they were still more than 100 zhang away from the city gate, they suddenly heard an abnormal noise outside the city.

Li Su paused, grabbed Li Zhi with his hand, stared at the city gate, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

The noise grew louder and louder, followed by a terrible scream.

The guards in front of the two looked solemn, reacted quickly to form a circle, tightly surrounded Li Su and Li Zhi in the middle, and drew their knives and pointed at the city gate.

Li Su's expression was gloomy, and an ominous premonition passed through his heart.

Outside the city gate is the tent area set up by the local government and the guards for the people and refugees, these days has been isolated according to Li Su's zoning law, the people eat and stay here, if there is any accident in the hearts of the people who have gradually calmed down, it is likely to lead to a collective mutiny of nearly 10,000 people and refugees, and small turmoil will turn into stormy waves, and it will be out of control.

"Come on, investigate it thoroughly!" Li Su coldly ordered.

Fang Lao Wu led several subordinates and hurried to the city gate.

It didn't take long for Fang Lao Wu to run back with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, there are refugees outside the city who assassinate the officials of the government, and somehow stabbed three people to death, the people are frightened, afraid that the government will investigate Zhulian, two or three thousand people ran over the fence of the tent, and the remaining thousands of people are in a commotion, and it seems that a mutiny is brewing!" This place is dangerous, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, please leave the city quickly and take refuge! (To be continued.) )
