The cold wind howled all night, how many people couldn't sleep at night, and the next day they got up with sleepy eyes, looking at Chang'an City floating with a thin morning mist, and felt more and more that Chang'an City was confusing at the moment.

Today, the entire East Palace is very busy, because Li Chengqian wants to take the crown princess Su out of the palace to visit the people, this is never a thing, only in the book I have seen that King Yan Zhao once asked the people to die in the Yan country, and now His Royal Highness the prince wants to follow the example of the sages to comfort the families of the disabled soldiers and fallen soldiers, which is a good thing that has never been done in the ages, so the people of the entire East Palace are cheering up to do this matter well.

At three o'clock in the morning, that is, at 7:45 a.m., Li Chengqian and the crown princess Su Shi were dressed plainly and took the prince's car out of the East Palace.

At the gate of the East Palace, there were already some subordinate officials of the East Palace, the Wannian County Order, the subordinate officials they brought, and the Sixth Rate of the East Palace, which was responsible for protecting Li Chengqian, and more than 1,000 people lined up to wait.

Li Chengqian slowly stepped out of the car, with a faint smile on his face, and asked everyone to excuse himself. Holding his iron cane and the crown princess supporting each other, he slowly walked to the front of the crowd with a limp.

said to everyone: "The lonely king is just walking around in Chang'an City, you don't have to be so prosperous." Leave the Wannian county order to lead the way for the lonely king, and the other ministers will go back to their respective official offices. ”

"As a subordinate official of the East Palace, we should naturally accompany His Royal Highness the Prince." The prince's family ordered.

Li Chengqian looked at all the subordinate officials of the East Palace, all of whom were high-crowned and red-robed, and the six rates of the East Palace behind him were also bright and majestic.

Looking at these contrasts with the coarse cloth robes on his body and the crown princess Su, he was very satisfied.

Nodding, let the old ghost check the people and supplies he brought with him. Li Chengqian prepared strings of money, silk, salt, bacon, millet, and medicinal herbs for disabled soldiers and the bereaved families of fallen soldiers.

In the Tang Dynasty, silk could be used directly as currency, and a large part of the Tang Dynasty's taxes were in kind, and the emperor's rewards were often silk or silk. Salt and millet are both daily necessities, so it is relatively affordable for Li Chengqian to bring gifts.

The arrangement of a few imperial doctors to accompany him was not for Li Chengqian or the crown princess, but because he thought that he might meet someone who was sick, he asked the imperial doctor to treat him on the spot.

In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was divided into two counties, bounded by Zhuque Street, with Wannian County to the east and Chang'an County to the west.

Except for Li Chengqian's car, the rest of his entourage were all on horseback.

Hao Chujun rode on the horse, looking at the mighty crown prince's guard of honor and a little confused.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are dressed plainly, why do they bring such a large honor guard?

However, he quickly figured it out on his own, this is a royal etiquette, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot change it casually.

Of course, Li Chengqian did this not because of the royal etiquette system, but because Li Chengqian needed to show his majesty as the crown prince on the one hand, and show his closeness to the people on the other.

He reminded others that he was a noble crown prince through a solemn guard of honor, and then flattered people with his pro-people attitude.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the government military system, and the soldiers were recruited from all over the country, and they returned after completing their military service.

There are not many disabled soldiers in Chang'an City, and there are only one or two hundred in Wanxian County. Of course, this also has something to do with the poor sanitary conditions in the Tang Dynasty, and many seriously injured people died directly.

These people live in the southern city, far from the inner city. Li Chengqian set off from the East Palace and walked south, and his first stop today was the Qin Liujia who lived in Jing'an Fang.

Li Chengqian watched Qin Liu's situation in the car, and Qin Liu turned out to be a soldier of the Right Guard.

In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, it was also last year, the Xue Yantuo Khanate in the north invaded, and Zhang Shigui, the general of the Right Tun Guard, led his troops north out of Yunzhou.

Qin Liu injured his right arm while fighting Xue Yantuo, and was later amputated and disabled.

Li Chengqian's car was driven by people all the way, and when he arrived at the door of Qin Liu's house, there were onlookers standing outside the city.

The solemn guard of honor made people feel noble and sacred, so when the plainly dressed crown princess and Li Chengqian limped out of the car with each other, the crowd saluted them like waves.

Li Chengqian got out of the car and saw a thin man lying alone at the door, Li Chengqian limped up to him, bent down to help him up.

Li Chengqian looked at Qin Liu's frozen face, and said to Qin Liulang with a warm smile on his face: "You are Qin Liulang?"

Qin Liu was very young, only in his early twenties, but he had already suffered from wind and frost, and his right arm had been broken at the root.

I think he had a very difficult year this year, and now he is about to enter the wax moon, and he is still wearing shabby single clothes, just to welcome himself to wash it cleaner.

"Small—little Qin Liu, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." Qin Liu's eyes were red and he was about to kneel.

"I've already worshiped it just now, and the Lone King is here to see if you're doing well, and if there is anything you need help with." Li Chengqian held Qin Liu and didn't let him bow down.

"What is the little thing, it actually made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see me in person." Qin Liu cried excitedly.

"That's as it should be, okay, take me to your house!" Li Chengqian comforted Qin Liu as he walked inside.

I didn't want Qin Liu, but he knelt in front of Li Chengqian, and said with tears in his eyes: "The little one can get the prince to ask, it's worth it if he dies, the little one and his family are all right, and the family really doesn't dare to pollute the prince's eyes." As he spoke, he kept kowtowing in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian couldn't laugh anymore, motioned to the old ghost to help Qin Liu up, looked at him and said seriously: "As the crown prince, King Gu will represent the herdsmen of the heavens in the future, and he will not dislike any of the people of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that you are a person who has meritorious service to my Tang Dynasty, who does the King of Lonely take care of if he doesn't take care of you?"

Li Chengqian walked into Qin Liu's small courtyard after saying that. I saw that the yard was clean, and there were three mud-walled and grass-roofed houses on the north side, which were somewhat dilapidated.

"Where's your family?"

"Well, it's just me and my daughter-in-law at home."

"What about your daughter-in-law?" This was asked by the crown princess.

"My daughter-in-law is sick and can't get out of bed." Qin Liu's face flushed.

Li Chengqian understands that Qin Liu is dying to save face, just like Ah Q feels ashamed for failing to draw a circle on the confession that sentenced him to death, which is the same psychology.

Li Chengqian motioned to the crown princess to lead the imperial doctor to see Qin's sixth daughter-in-law.

"Take me to see where your food goes?"

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone at the scene was startled, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to see what their family is doing with food?

Hao Chujun came out this time to be the person responsible for recording Li Chengqian's words and deeds, and he was closest to Li Chengqian.

He is a person with the talent of a prime minister, but he doesn't understand Li Chengqian's purpose of looking at the granary of Qin's six families for a while.

But as soon as Qin Liu spoke, he understood.

"My family buys grain to eat, and there is no food in stock." Qin Liu's voice became smaller and smaller, because Li Chengqian's eyes were already very serious when he looked at him.

In the end, everyone and Li Chengqian saw that there was only half a bucket of corn in the grain of the Qin Six family.

Li Chengqian didn't ask Qin Liu anymore, and walked directly to the edge of his stove.

The stove was cold, the water tank was empty, the pot was empty, and there was only half a bundle of dry wood and a little salt in the whole stove room.

Li Chengqian lowered his face coldly and instructed the neighbors around Jing Anfang Fang and Qin Liu.

Hao Chujun has been recording Li Chengqian's words and deeds, and he is completely convinced when he sees this.

Secret Path: The wise and benevolent king.

The Wannian County Order will already be sweating.

Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to them, walked into the small courtyard and saw four or five old men coming in, and as soon as he saw Li Chengqian, he knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Li Chengqian asked a few old men to help them up, and asked with a smile, "Which of you is Qin Liulang's neighbor?"

Seeing a few old men nodding, he asked, "How long has this Qin Liulang lived here?"

"It's been more than ten years."

"Does he have a brother?"

"I have two older brothers who live in Jing'anfang."

"Qin Liulang is good at gambling on weekdays?"

"This child is pitiful, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and he lives with his brothers. The year before last, in order to let him join the army, his brother and sister-in-law married him a daughter-in-law.

But when he came back last year, he had a missing arm, and his brother separated the two of them......

"Her daughter-in-law has been sick for a year and has spent all the family's money." The crown princess walked up to Li Chengqian and said.

"Bring in the things you have prepared, give an extra penny, and the medicine used by his daughter-in-law will also come out of the East Palace Pharmacy."

The chamberlain of the East Palace brought in two horses, five stones of corn, a large piece of bacon, ten catties of salt and two pieces of money.

Looking at these things, Qin Liu couldn't cry anymore, Li Chengqian walked up to him and said softly: "You were injured in the war for the country, and you encountered such difficulties, the court didn't take care of the lonely king and the father didn't do a good job." ”

"The prince is cautious." Hao Chujun reminded loudly.

"My father is the Son of Heaven, the herdsmen of the heavens, whenever the people of the Tang Dynasty are cut off, the father and the emperor are in charge, but the people of the world are trillions of ......"

"Wechen is guilty." Wannian County Order can't listen to it anymore.

Li Chengqian ignored him and said to Qin Liu: "Don't be too little of these things, get over the difficulties first, and wait until the spring when the lonely king finds a way." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the Wannian County Order and said to him: "Wannian County Order, the Lone King said that his father was busy with things and would inevitably not be able to take care of it, and you could not take care of everything, and there were one or two such Lone Kings who would not blame you." ”

Li Chengqian saw Jing'an Fangfang and those neighbors.

Pointing at Qin Liu, he said to everyone: "Qin Liulang was injured in order to protect his family and defend the country, and also to protect my people of the Tang Dynasty from being plundered by Hu Yi, we are all favored by them.

In the end, he said to Qin Liu, who was already crying: "The lonely king still has to go to other people's houses, if you have any difficulties in the future, you will go to the East Palace to find the lonely king." ”

When he walked out of the courtyard gate, he turned back to Hao Chujun and said: "Tell Wannian County Order, as long as Qin Liu's two brothers don't go too far, don't embarrass them, it's not easy for people, you can't say that the court didn't do a good job, just blame them." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent." Tailiu wept bitterly and bowed behind Li Chengqian.

Then, the people in the square who watched the excitement also knelt down and shouted "His Royal Highness the Prince"
