Li Chengqian left Qin Liu's family and went to the homes of other disabled soldiers to comfort them, these families are basically below the food and clothing line, some of them have a sick person at home and have no money to see them, and the family has a sad face, and some have been in the army for a long time, and after a few chaos, there is no one in the family left, only a disabled veteran is left to spend his life alone; Some of the injuries were not healed and there was no money to treat them, so they had to wait at home to die. Li Chengqian gave all these kinds of bereavement pensions one by one, sent doctors to treat those who were sick and injured, sent some money and things first, and promised to make arrangements for them next year.

At noon, the prince's family ordered Li Chengqian to go back to the East Palace for dinner, and Li Chengqian looked at the honor guard of 2,000 people, and could not solve the problem of eating outside, so he took people back to the East Palace for dinner and continued to care for the family in the afternoon.

In the evening, the group returned to the East Palace, Li Chengqian and Hao Chujun entered the Chongxian Pavilion, and the others in the Chongxian Pavilion were already on duty.

"Why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hold the Wannian County Commander accountable today?"

"It's normal that a few families can't take care of it."

"I'm afraid it's more than a few, right? The families we visited in the afternoon had apparently just been taken care of. ”

"That's right, what are we going to do, isn't it just to take care of these disabled veterans?

It is best for them to take the initiative to take care of nature, which shows that they are still afraid of me, the prince. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is His Royal Highness the Prince, if you are too annoying......" Li Chengqian's voice was full of helplessness.

"Humph!" Hao Chujun snorted coldly, as if unconvinced.

"Sir, don't be angry about these things, we have to do our things well, and today we have to trouble Mr. to sort out the day's records, and send one to the political hall tomorrow and one to Xu Jingzong." Li Chengqian said indifferently.

"Don't worry, the prince will write." Hao Chujun bowed solemnly.

"Mr. has accompanied the lonely king to care for the people during the day these days, and you have to sort out the records when you come back, and Mr. will have to worry more about carving the four books, if the family is okay in the near future, you will live in this Chongxian Pavilion."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values it, and the ministers will not hesitate to do so." Hao Chujun solemnly bowed down again.

In the next few days, Li Chengqian took the crown princess to visit and express condolences in Chang'an City, and the public opinion front presided over by Xu Jingzong also went all out to publicize His Royal Highness the prince's "reputation of benevolence".

Almost a few of them went the day before, and all of them had any difficulties, how Li Chengqian solved them, and what Li Chengqian said, all of them preached in various parts of Chang'an City.

The East and West Markets, the restaurants, the Pingkangfang, the city gates and even the squares, anyway, there are people everywhere, and people promote the benevolence of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The people in Chang'an City are the most simple, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Chang'an City every day to comfort the bereaved families of disabled soldiers and fallen soldiers, and all the people who have accepted Li Chengqian's comfort are full of gratitude to His Royal Highness the Prince, and they can't wait to die immediately to repay His Royal Highness the Prince.

The simple analysis of the common people: How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be possessed by evil demons when he is such a benevolent and virtuous king?

The rumors that came out a few days ago were naturally all deliberately slandered by King Wei and his party in order to compete for the position of the crown prince.

King Wei and his party are really not good things, and that Zhang Xuansu is still the teacher of the East Palace, he is really an old man who eats inside and out.

In the face of the scolding of almost all the people in Chang'an, Zhang Xuansu was not afraid at all, and he also saw that many rumors in Chang'an City had been released by Li Chengqian recently. Since Li Chengqian deliberately framed him, then he is the victim, is he still afraid of being scolded by a group of foolish people?

Of course, this is also related to the fact that street discussions can only affect some low-level people and cannot have an impact on officialdom, you must know that in the early Tang Dynasty, the power of the gate valve was very strong, which official cared about the thoughts of ordinary people?

But the next thing that happened completely caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an Shilin.

On this day, the sky in Chang'an City was cloudy and snowy, and the cold wind was howling, and ordinary people were huddled at home and did not come out.

According to the information compiled by Du He, the old woman's husband Liu Da was killed in the ninth year of Wude when the Turkic Jili Khan attacked Jing County, and a son was raised until he was seventeen years old, in order to avenge his father, Zhenguan went out with Li Jing to conquer the Turks for four years and never returned.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, the place where the Liu family lives can't be driven by car, so you have to get out of the car and walk, do you think you are still going?"

In the early years of Zhenguan, Chang'an City only had a population of 300,000, far from reaching the peak of nearly 2 million people later, many places in the city were very desolate, Quchifang was in the southeast of Chang'an City, next to the Hibiscus Garden, and now many places are still puddles.

"Then get out of the car and walk over!" Li Chengqian didn't think about it.

Li Chengqian got out of the car and saw that in front of the car was a wild lake with a radius of dozens of acres, and now that the weather was cold, a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the lake.

Along the shore of the lake, there is an uneven path that winds to two thatched houses in the distance.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's family is only one woman, and the concubine is the same in the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will stay here to rest." The crown princess Su is a considerate person, and she was worried that Li Chengqian would walk hard, so she proposed euphemistically.

"It's okay to walk around and practice the body, I'm also bored when I stand here, you and I can go together." Li Chengqian knew Su's kindness, and walked forward holding Su's hand as he spoke, except for a few guards who walked in front, and the entourage followed far behind.

Li Chengqian and Su Shilai were surprised when they walked to the front of the thatched hut, and there were no fences and courtyard walls on the side of the thatched hut, so they could see the situation inside at a glance.

The two huts still have an earthen wall from the back, but the front earthen wall is already halfway down, and it is blocked with sticks and firewood.

A woman was lying on all fours on the edge of the bamboo fence on the east side, and when she heard the movement, she looked back in a daze.

Li Chengqian saw that this woman's eyes were blank and numb, and when he saw them, he looked at them blankly, not moving or speaking, as if he had been pointed at by someone.

Li Chengqian and Su Shi stepped forward, only to see that the woman was thin and small, with gray hair, wearing a tattered single dress that could not be seen in color and did not know what material it was.

The crown princess couldn't help but step forward to help her, but the old ghost hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

It was only at this time that the woman reacted, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please spare the old woman, I haven't eaten for two days before I picked up the two dates, and I haven't eaten yet?"

The old ghost hurriedly helped her up, and she explained that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down to see it, don't be afraid, the woman still didn't believe it, and the crown princess Su also squatted down to talk to her.

Li Chengqian saw that she was holding two red dates in her mud-stained hands, and when she looked up, she saw that there was indeed a big jujube tree growing on the other side of the fence, and there were still a few jujube trees hanging on the top of the jujube tree, which had not been beaten down and swaying in the cold wind.

Through the bamboo fence, I saw a large wasteland on the other side, and on the other side of the wasteland was a high wall, and a side gate opened to the west of the wall, facing the date tree.

"Who's over there?" Li Chengqian guessed that the wasteland and the jujube trees should belong to the family in the east.

At this time, the half-dead Wannian County Commander hurriedly said: "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there will be Furong Garden over there." ”

"Li Tai, the king of Wei, lives here?" Li Chengqian didn't expect this place to be so close to Hibiscus Garden.

"Yes, but this wall is the west wall of the Hibiscus Garden, and on the other side of the wall is Qujiang Pond, and Qujiang Pond is ...... on that side" Wannian County Commander wanted to change the topic.

But at this time, the crown princess Su asked the reason, got up and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this woman is Liu, she relies on sewing oars and washing for others to make a living, she is hardworking and willing to work to make a living." It's just that she's getting older and older, and there are fewer people looking for her to work, and it's getting harder and harder every day to pay the autumn tax this year......"

"She still has to pay taxes?" Li Chengqian looked at the Wannian County Order with an unkind gaze.

Wannian County Commander didn't know what was going on, so he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and couldn't speak.

Li Chengqian knew that the Wannian County Order didn't know the situation, but when he saw the Liu woman holding the snacks Su gave her, she couldn't help but cry bitterly and said loudly: "In the future, her taxes will be exempted, and all the money collected from her this year will be returned to her." ”

"Wechen obeys." Wannian County Order was like an amnesty, and he scolded the county lord Bo to death in his heart.

He was a newcomer to Wannian County to serve as the county commander, and he was still learning about the powerful people living in Wannian County, when he suddenly received that Li Chengqian wanted to comfort the disabled soldiers and the bereaved families of the fallen soldiers in Chang'an City, and he and the Chang'an County Commander followed Li Chengqian almost every day.

For the sake of his own safety, Li Chengqian went wherever the East Palace told Li Chengqian about the people who needed condolences according to the yellow book, and Li Chengqian only told his entourage where he was going when he set off.

Therefore, the task of the county's lord Bo was to take care of all the families in Wannian County who might be comforted by Li Chengqian in advance, but he didn't expect to take care of them.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear to look at the woman again, looked up at the dilapidated thatched hut and said, "She's like this, why don't you leave?" Yes, this woman is the only one left in the whole family, and she can go to the powerful family as a slave, and life will not be so difficult.

"She's waiting for her son to come back." The crown princess lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and continued: "Liu said that her husband and her son are heroes on the battlefield, and she can't embarrass them. And she thinks her son is not dead, so she has to wait here for her son to come back......"

Li Chengqian held back his tears and shouted at the guards behind: "You repair this house for her, and the money will be paid by King Gu." ”

"By order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The two generals behind him also replied with red eyes.

They have seen a lot of tragic things with Li Chengqian these days, but the woman who is about to starve to death today, her arrogance and persistence make their eyes red.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at the bamboo fence to the east, the wasteland, the house, the jujube tree, and the few red dates hanging on the jujube tree on the other side of the bamboo fence, as well as the red dates that fell on the ground, all of which seemed so dazzling.

The things that Donggong gave to the Liu family have all been moved in, and the sergeants have stayed behind to repair her house and carry water.

On the way back to the car, Li Chengqian remembered a poem by Du Fu and decided to write it for Li Tai.
