Chapter 53: The Death of the People
Yang Guang smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Xue Aiqing, your body is still very weak, you can be escorted by the guards to the post house in Jiangdu to rest for the time being!" ”
Hearing this, Xue Liang hugged his fist with difficulty and said, "Holy Lord, the minister still has a reluctant request!" ”
"Say."
Xue Liang resolutely said: "When the Holy King Division goes on the Northern Expedition, the minister is willing to follow the expedition!" Xiangcheng was lost from the minister's hands, and the minister must follow the holy car and retake it! ”
Yang Guang said with relief: "Accurate! Xue Aiqing's ambition to serve the country is commendable, but now you need to take care of your body first, and I will definitely let you fulfill this wish! ”
When Xue Liang's family left, Yang Guang couldn't be proud! This 100,000 stone military rations, not to mention anything else, in the long run, in the long run, change to Xue Rengui, a sure deal! Sure enough, people still have to do more good deeds in order to have good rewards!
Yang Guang looked at the nearby homeless people, found a family that looked like good people, walked over, and asked in harmony at a man with dark skin and a simple face, "Where are you from?" Why did you end up here? ”
The swarthy man's eyes revealed his natural awe for Yang Guang, and he was speechless.
At this time, a woman stepped forward and said: "His name is Zhang Daniu, he is from SD Lai County, and the woman is his wife, we fled all the way from SD!" ”
Yang Guang nodded, tried his best to contain his kingly spirit, and asked with a pleasant face: "What did your family do before, is there anyone else in the family?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Daniu seemed to be aroused by sadness, and the seven-foot man burst into tears when he heard this, and said: "There is no one else in the family, only me, my inside-in-law and a niece are left." ”
Yang Guang didn't see his niece and asked, "Where is your niece?" Why don't you see her? ”
Zhang Daniu replied sourly: "Back to the saint, the grass people's family has wandered here from SD, and everything that can be sold has been sold, but they still can't eat. There is only one women's dress in the house, and the inner family and the niece wear it in turn, and now the niece should still stay in the hollow of the tree, unable to see anyone! ”
Hearing this, Yang Guang's heart suddenly gloomy, and said, "Take me to see her!" ”
Zhang Daniu silently agreed, and took Yang Guang to an uncle who had been dug a hole in the center, only to see a young girl masked, wrapped in a layer of dilapidated old blanket, a pair of smart and bright eyes looking straight at Yang Guang, and there was only hatred in her eyes!
Yang Guang could feel the girl's resentment from afar, but Yang Guang still stepped forward, took off his cloak, covered the girl, and said: "Alas, the world is in turmoil, let you live here, I really don't want to go!" ”
Unexpectedly, this girl had a strong temperament, and she directly threw Yang Guang's cloak to the ground, and said hatefully: "Dog official! Don't be merciful in your wig here, my aunt doesn't need you to sympathize! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Daniu and his wife were shocked and hurriedly scolded: "Presumptuous! This is the Holy One! ”
The woman hurriedly knelt down and kept kowtowing: "The saint is angry, the little girl doesn't understand human feelings, she offended Tianwei, and I hope that the saint will look at her young age, don't worry about him in general!" ”
The girl realized that this person called himself "I," and heard her uncle and aunt call him a saint, only to know that the handsome middle-aged man in front of her was Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui!
Yang Guang stopped disapprovingly, and said: "Don't blame her, it's because I didn't govern this world well, so that the people are so down, I feel deeply ashamed!" ”
After the girl learned Yang Guang's identity, she was not afraid, her big black eyes instantly squeezed out tears, and the pear blossom cried like rain: "Holy Lord, why did you come!" Do you know how badly your dog officer has harmed our family, and we will destroy all of our good home! All ruined! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Daniu was shocked, and shouted in a deep voice with a straight face: "Out of the dust!" Hugh is presumptuous in front of the saint! ”
The woman also hurriedly apologized: "Holy Lord, it's all because the grass people and their wives are so used to this niece that she is so arrogant and unreasonable!" The grass people apologized for the saint on her behalf, and begged the saint not to blame her, and punish the grass people if she wanted to be punished! ”
Yang Guang laughed bitterly and said, "Tong Yan is unscrupulous! She's telling the truth, so let her say it, and vent it! ”
Seeing this, the grievances in the girl's heart were like a flood bursting the embankment, and she gushed: "The girl's family originally lived well in Lai County, but as soon as the holy will arrived, my grandfather was pumped to dig the Grand Canal, and there was no news for several years. My grandfather came back by luck, and he was completely exhausted, and he died not long after! ”
"Then my uncle was taken out of his military service to build a marching ship. I didn't know that the battle made Cha Ding urge very urgently, my uncle and the villagers soaked their bodies in the sea every day, and they still couldn't complete the task of building a sea ship day and night! As a result, my uncle's body festered, and the wound was full of maggots, and finally the wound festered, and he died of exhaustion! ”
Later, the imperial court ordered the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, and my father was transferred to the people's husband, escorting supplies and transporting equipment for the army day and night, thinking that this time he would not die of exhaustion. Unexpectedly, the disaster did not go alone, my father was attacked by the Goguryeo people on the way to transport grain, and he died in a foreign country and martyred the country! ”
The latter thing is even more miserable, Wang Bo, a native of Zouping in Qi County, called himself "Zhishilang", and wrote "The Song of Death in the Waves of Liaodong", inciting the people to rebel against Meng Rang according to the Changbai Mountain uprising, and the hometown of the people's daughter is in the midst of war. The third uncle didn't want to be with the bandits, so he took our family all the way south to flee. ”
The more the girl spoke, the more excited she became, her apricot eyes widened, and she said, "On the way to escape, we not only need to fight hunger, but also always guard against the attacks of the rogues!" My brothers and sisters starved to death on the road, lost to war, or forced into slavery. Dare to ask the saint, are you failing our Zhang family? Did the imperial court fail our Zhang family? Did Da Sui fail our Zhang family? ”
Listening to what Zhang Zhuchen said, Yang Guang felt guilty, reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Zhang Chuchen's eyes, and said apologetically: "I am deeply sorry for the Zhang family's experience, I am sorry for you!" As my people, not only did I not let you live a good life, but I caused your family to suffer great hardships and displacement, all of which are my fault! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Chuchen's tears rained down, as if he had waited too long for this apology, picked up Yang Guang's cloak that fell on the place, covered his face, and cried loudly.
"Holy!" Yu Shiji and Shen Guang were shocked and hurriedly spoke to stop them.
