Text Chapter 498 Xicheng Disaster Victims
Outside the western part of the city, refugees have built some shacks with the help of some well-wishers.
They saw that the autumn was getting stronger, the autumn wind was bleak, and they also knew that once the harsh winter came, the days would be more difficult, and the journey back to their hometown had to start at least after the winter, so they had consciously begun to prepare for the winter, in addition to building some sheds, they also picked up a lot of dry firewood and piled it up in the shed, ready to be used as firewood for heating in winter.
In fact, some of the refugees were able-bodied and could work to make money, but Zhao Yuankai forbade them to enter the city in order to make the city look neat and clean. And these people are all good people, and they have always been in awe of Wang Fa, and they really don't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi.
This is why when Yang Qianye arranged for refugees to enter the city to petition today, the number of people was not large, and they could only take the way of singing "scattered music and dance" to attract the attention of the Son of Heaven, too many people were about to be cornered, but they were still in awe of Wang Fa very much, that was the awe that went deep into their bones, whether they had the ability to resist and not to mention, even if they were in such a difficult situation, they did not have the heart to resist.
Therefore, when a large number of officers and soldiers poured out of the city, it immediately caused panic among the refugees. Some people thought that the Taishou of Puzhou was going to drive them away, and some people who knew about asking the emperor for their lives today couldn't help but be annoyed.
When the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest left the city, they immediately lined up left and right, standing upright, but they did not disturb the people. Immediately afterwards, the Huangluo umbrella cover in the distance fluttered in the wind. These refugees are not all illiterate peasants, but there are also people whose families are reasonably well-off and literate in reading, but who have suffered serious disasters and have no relatives or friends to turn to.
The man immediately exclaimed, "The emperor is here!" When he was busy, he knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his forehead, and made a great salute, but he didn't dare to raise his head in fear.
When the other people heard him shout, they realized that the emperor was coming, how could they have seen the emperor? When I often hear people talk about it, that feeling, it is similar to hearing people talk about the gods in the sky, and they are busy and kneeling, but how to salute the emperor, they don't know much, some kneel there and don't dare to move, some kowtow like pounding garlic, the royal car has not come over, he only drinks two bowls of porridge a day, he has a gold star in his eyes.
Li Shimin's face is ugly, when the emperor likes Shunmin, these refugees in ragged clothes, with vegetables on their faces, and terrified like quails, are undoubtedly some Shunmin, and Shunmin is in trouble and is forced to this role, which makes him especially uncomfortable.
How many years has the Tang Dynasty been founded, Li Shimin has personally fought in the north and south, and has dealt with all kinds of anti-kings, who were those anti-kings originally? Who are their soldiers? They are all the original obedient people! The rabbit is anxious and bites, so it is a loss that the affected area is small, the affected people are few, and there is still a harsh winter, and they have not blocked their last trace of survival, otherwise who dares to say that there will not be a civil uprising in Zhongzhou?
And once the civil uprising happens, who dares to guarantee that it will not burn the world with a spark and finally oust himself, the emperor, from the throne?
"Stop!"
Li Shimin raised his foot and pedaled hard, and the carriage and horse stopped immediately. Li Shimin got up, walked out of the car, stood on the board and looked around the entire refugee area.
In this kind of place, who will pay attention to planning, there are different heights, dilapidated shacks scattered around, and ragged people everywhere.
The waiter had already put the pedals, Li Shimin endured the anger in his heart, and slowly walked down from the car.
"Get up, get up, all get up!"
Li Shimin walked through the guards and personally helped up a gray-haired old man with a sour nose. The old man stood up tremblingly, and when the other people saw this, they got up in a panic, looking at this middle-aged heroic man in a bright yellow robe with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold on the robe, and dreamed in a trance: This is my emperor of the Tang Dynasty? I actually saw the emperor?
"You ...... It's all my fault for suffering. ”
Li Shimin's eyes moistened and said to the people.
The people were speechless, and suddenly saw such a big figure, they had not yet woken up from the shock, and they really didn't know what to do.
Li Shimin's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the victims, and gradually fell on a shed behind him, on which only two big words hung "soup porridge." ”
Li Shimin walked over and looked at the shed, there were several bags of rice stacked in the back, and two pots were supported in front.
Li Shimin looked at the porridge, although it was not dry rice, but it was also very sticky, Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Which good person is this porridge?" ”
Bao Jiye grabbed it out with a roll, tried to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said tremblingly: "It's the grass people who are giving porridge." No, no, no, it's not a grass people, this is a good deed funded by the fifth girl of Dajia in Chang'an West City and handled by the grass people. ”
Li Shimin sighed and said, "It's me who has a negative shoulder, please take the fifth girl's behalf and accept my gift!" ”
Li Shimin folded his sleeves, bowed solemnly to Bao Jiye, and bowed for a long time.
Bao Jiye snorted and pumped over.
This scared Li Shimin too, this is too excited, he fell to the left, this is going to fall, and he must not fall into the stove pit?
General Li Ji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's golden body, where can the small people afford His Majesty's gift?" With a wave of his hand, he motioned to the few soup kitcheners who were standing there to quickly lift the embarrassed Bao Jiye aside to rescue.
Those people woke up like a dream, and they hurriedly lifted Bao Jiye aside, pinching and patting their chests, but they still didn't wake up. One of them deliberately played in front of the emperor, brought a bowl of water, and said in a deep voice: "Let me, look at me." ”
He sucked a sip of cold water, puffed out his cheeks, and took a sip on Bao Jiye's face.
Li Shimin saw that because of his appearance, although the people waiting for the soup soup were still in line, but the soup soup had stopped, he rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward, picked up the spoon from the edge of the pot, and called to the disaster victims in the front line: "Come, come close!" ”
The victim was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward, holding the bowl in both hands, Li Shimin sank the spoon to the bottom, scooped a spoonful of rice for him, smiled and nodded to signal him to get out of the way, and while continuing to serve porridge to people, he said to the ministers around him: "My people have suffered such a calamity, how can I be indifferent." Where is the book of the household? ”
A red-robed officer stepped forward to salute: "The minister is here!" ”
Li Shimin said: "You are responsible for the disaster relief here. It is necessary to ensure that the people have food, clothing, and a place to live, and that arrangements should be made for their return to their hometowns. ”
The head of the household should be respectful.
At this time, Bao Jiye had been woken up by the man's mouthful of water, and when he saw that the emperor was giving him porridge, he hurriedly got up, approached him, rubbed his hands and said: "How can the emperor do this kind of work, the grass people come, the grass people come." ”
Li Shimin smiled, handed the spoon to him, and said, "Fill it for the people, let everyone eat, and after the food is used up, go to him to get it." My people, how can I not even have a full meal to take care of them? ”
What Li Shimin refers to is that the household department is still in charge of money, grain, and the people, and it is impossible to take the lead in handling this matter.
Li Shimin put down his sleeves, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and looked to the side, not far away, there was another soup kitchen. Li Shimin walked over there again, and in the crowd, Li Yu's heart hung up.
Seeing the emperor walk into his own soup kitchen, Li Yu was very relieved, just hoping that the emperor would approach the people and understand the hardships here, it was best to go back to the house immediately, even if it was to punish Zhao Taishou, who only focused on face projects, regardless of whether the people lived or died, it would be really calm at that time.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually walked to the porridge shed again, and that porridge shed was set up by Yang Qianye.
Li Yu had already concluded that Yang Qianye did not do anything when he asked for the people's life, in order to lure the emperor out of the city, and then take advantage of the chaos here to reduce the role of the emperor's guards, and then snipe in one fell swoop.
Li Yu stood on tiptoe behind a group of civil and military officials, the pot was steaming hot, and it was full of steam, but the soup kitchener's spoon for scooping porridge was steady, and his eyes didn't blink, he must be a well-trained killer.
The few people standing at the front of the line with a broken bowl were all men in the prime of life, and they must have been the killers of Joe disguised as refugees. No, there are still two little girls mixed in between these strong men, but although their faces are dirty, their foundations are clearly very good, their skin is fresh and the meat is tender, they must be played by Qiao Qiao, the female killer under Yang Qianye.
At this time, I saw an ink-robed man seeing the emperor coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Li Yu stood behind, and he couldn't see clearly between the staggered movements, but he thought in his heart: "Oh no, that's the ink white flame!" This dead eunuch is going to kill the emperor! ”
Li Yu was in a hurry, and with his thighs between his cheeks, he moved with the soles of his feet, and rushed forward with twisting and twisting, but the careful eldest grandson Wuji had been watching in the crowd, and saw Li Yu, who was extremely disgusting to him, stepped forward, and the eldest grandson Wuji stroked his hair with his right hand, and carried a robe in his left hand, with a sad face, as a pity for the people's suffering, and handed out one foot under the robe quietly.
"Poof!"
Li Yu fell straight down, knocking the two officials standing in front of him into a stumble.
The moment Li Yu fell, he saw that the ink-robed man had already walked to Li Shimin's side, shrugged his shoulders and bent down, Li Yu's heart almost jumped out of his throat, Mo Baiyan's martial arts were very powerful, he had been taught. Although Li Shimin is the emperor immediately, he has an extraordinary martial arts career, and he is accompanied by two middle-aged guards with bulging temples, but he is afraid that he will have a heart or not.
Li Yu couldn't care about anything anymore, and shouted loudly to warn, saying, "Stop hurting my lord!" ”
With his arms on the ground, he rushed out close to the ground.
In fact, the injury on Li Yu's buttocks is not so serious, but the problem is not whether he has the ability to move, but the injury of his muscles and bones, the slightest movement will hurt to the bones, and his body functions will subconsciously prevent him from acting out of self-protection. It's like a person who has numb thighs, but he can still move, but his consciousness will prevent him from moving below. So in a hurry, Li Yu could only dig the ground with both hands, rush out close to the ground, and pounce on the black-robed man.
"Poof!"
Li Yu rushed to the middle of Li Shimin and the black-robed man, grabbed the black-robed man's feet and neck with both hands, and lifted it upwards forcefully, the black-robed man stood unsteadily, and fell on his back. Li Yu used both hands and feet, pounced on him, he could be polite to Yang Qianye, and to this old eunuch who instigated Yang Qianye to make a repeat country, Li Yu was not polite at all, pounced on him, and reached out to pull his "fake beard!" ”
One, two, three......
Li Yu pulled three handfuls in a row, and the black-robed man screamed in pain, Li Yuzheng wondered whose craft this fish glue was, it was so firm, and when he looked at it, the whole person stayed there. The black-robed man in front of him, although he was dressed the same as Mo Baiyan, he was ...... Li Yu has never seen it!
Broken!
Li Yu's heart was cold, he slowly turned his head, and gradually moved his gaze upward from the robe of the five-clawed golden dragon, looking at Li Shimin.
The green tendons on Li Shimin's forehead were tensed, Li Yu watched the green tendons on his forehead jump twice, and took two breaths in a row, only then did he suppress the urge to go berserk, and said in a deep voice: "Li Langzhong, if you feel unwell, I can grant you leave and let you go to see the doctor!" ”
