Wang Jianhuo has his own principles and means of doing things, after agreeing to be an official, he did not kneel, but stood with his head held high, looked at the emperor, and said: "The grass people dare to be officials, does Your Majesty dare to be a common man?" ”

"You think I haven't been a citizen?" Han Ruzi has just gotten rid of the identity of "tired marquis" not long ago, although he was not an ordinary person before, but he is not ignorant of the suffering of the people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Tonight, before leaving Luoyang, does Your Majesty dare to be a citizen for a while?" Wang Jianhuo asked.

Without waiting for the emperor to answer, the King of the East China Sea preemptively said, "What is this called?" Let's not talk about Your Majesty, what does it mean that grass people 'dare' to be officials? Could it be that the official of Da Chu still has to worry about his life? ”

Wang Jianhuo only stared at the emperor, "The reputation of the 'ugly king' for decades will be destroyed after dawn, and people all over the world will think that I have waited for so many years just to become a bigger official." ”

It was still the King of the East China Sea who spoke, "Your decades of prestige can be compared to Your Majesty's temporary security?" ”

Wang Jianhuo did not squeak.

Han Ruzi didn't squeak either.

"Your Majesty isn't thinking about it, is he?" King Donghai's eyes widened, "Maybe Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but I sincerely remind you: The emperor's safety not only belongs to himself, but also concerns the entire Great Chu, especially at this time, if Your Majesty has ...... in case"

The King of the East Sea couldn't help but think a little.

"When Emperor Wu was young, he often went out of the palace to pay private visits." Han Ruzi was a little moved, he had heard a lot of stories about Emperor Wu's private visit since he was a child, true or false, but one thing was definitely true, Emperor Wu was not the kind of emperor who sat in the palace and ruled the world.

"When Emperor Wu was in peace, the world was peaceful, and ...... And there are many trustworthy people around Emperor Wu, this ugly king ...... It's so reluctant to let him be an official, I'm afraid it's not credible, right? ”

In the face of doubts, Wang Jianhuo did not make any excuses.

"Aren't you by my side?"

The king of the East China Sea would never say that he was not credible, and he opened his mouth for a while, and suddenly reacted, "Your Majesty wants to take me out for a private visit?" This one...... This one...... Does Your Majesty really want to agree? Let's talk to someone first. ”

Wang Jianhuo said: "Seeing is believing, Your Majesty is dedicated to the people, this is a good thing, but Your Majesty is sitting in the heavily guarded barracks in Luoyang City, reading a pile of documents, listening to the words of officials, rather than bothering to guess and guess, unable to distinguish what is true and what is false, it is better to take a look in person." ”

Han Ruzi's heart was pounding, the ugly king was right, the emperor put pressure on the local officials, sent a temporary imperial history, and promoted Haoxia to an official...... In this case, why not go among the homeless people and take a look?

The King of the East Sea guessed the result from the emperor's expression, "Your Majesty, I have said everything that should be said, and I ask that these words be recorded, in case ...... I can also leave evidence, so as not to let people think that I deceived His Majesty. ”

"What evidence to keep? If I had it, would you still want to escape? ”

"No, no, of course I don't mean that, I just think...... His Majesty is a virtuous king, for the sake of the Great Chu country, Emperor Huan has only two sons, and His Majesty has no heirs...... Your Majesty must not misunderstand, this is purely for the sake of the descendants of the Han family and the Great Chu Jiangshan...... Zhang Youcai, are you standing stupidly? ”

Zhang Youcai and Loach have been guarding behind the emperor, there are outsiders, the two never speak, but they will never agree with the emperor to take risks, hearing the words of the king of the East China Sea, at the same time a few steps forward, turned around and was about to kneel down to persuade, was glared at by the emperor, and walked back to their original positions.

"The fortunate minister who has no guts." The King of the East Sea said in a low voice, and suddenly there was a sense of desolation that the dynasty was full of traitors and only self-loyal.

Han Ruzi turned his head and asked the guards who were a little farther away, "If you want to protect basic security, how many people are at least needed?" ”

The guard was stunned, his mouth open, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"Go and call Wang He, don't talk too much."

The guards ran out of the tent in small steps, and returned at great speed, indicating that they had no chance to talk too much.

Wang He also arrived soon, and glanced at the ugly king, "Weichen Wang He pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”

"I want to pay a private visit to Weifu, and I will leave in half an hour, you go and arrange it, don't be discovered by anyone when you leave the camp, plus you, up to six guards, the king of the East China Sea will accompany you, Wang Jianhuo, how many people do you bring?"

"The grass people are alone."

"Okay, Wang He, get ready to go."

Wang He knelt down, and just about to speak, Han Ruzi's face was slightly gloomy, "You are the leader of the guards, I appointed you, what I want is not to admonish, do you think you can speak better than the king of the East China Sea?" ”

The East Sea King blinked helplessly.

Wang He's thoughts were blocked, and after thinking about it, he said, "At least ten guards, there can be no less." ”

"It's up to you, but you can't leak secrets, especially not to tell Liu Jie, understand?" Han Ruzi had a hunch that once Liu Jie, the central supervisor, heard that the emperor was going out of the camp, there was a chance that he would hold the emperor's leg and not let go.

"Understood." Wang He retreated with a pale face.

After making an appointment to meet at a certain place, Wang Jianhuo also retired, and Han Ruzi asked Zhang Youcai and Loach to bring an extra set of bedding, pretending to leave the King of the East China Sea to talk all night, and then warned: "You two are not allowed to talk too much, during my absence, if there is anything, cover it up for me." ”

Zhang Youcai was so anxious that he was about to cry, "Your Majesty ......"

"Why, I used to be able to go out the night, but now I can't?"

Thinking of the master's adventure when he was a tired marquis, Zhang Youcai really cried, "In the past, there were still ...... grandchildren of the Du family."

"There are ten guards now." Han Ruzi became more and more excited, and he had been trapped in the barracks for several days in Luoyang, overthinking and dizzy, Wang Jianhuo reminded him: The fog in the music does not exist in reality.

The loach didn't care too much, "Your Majesty is just out of the door, it's not that dangerous, right?" ”

The King of the East China Sea and Zhang Youcai glared fiercely at the same time, and the loach hurriedly closed his mouth tightly, and the King of the East China Sea couldn't even come out of the account, muttering, "Let me say goodbye to the princess...... Your Majesty, is the ugly king really worth believing? He has a lot of things on his mind, and he just made His Majesty in a dilemma with a bet that seemed to be nothing. ”

Han Ruzi didn't answer, he believed in the ugly king, half of it was because of his own feelings, and the other half was because of Meng E.

Meng E entrusted Baoxi to the ugly king of Luoyang, which shows that in her mind, the ugly king is more trustworthy than most people.

If this is an interlocking scam - Han Ruzi thinks it is impossible, there are too many accidents in the middle, and only the immortals of the unknown prophet can think of it in advance.

Half an hour later, the emperor, the king of the East China Sea and eleven guards led their horses and quietly left the barracks, and they did not meet any guards on the way, they were all temporarily transferred by Wang He, and Wang He also played a small trick to count himself in addition to the ten guards and bring one more person.

Wang Jianhuo waited three streets away, alone, on horseback, nodding to the emperor and leading the way in front.

Because he had just experienced the battle, Luoyang was still under a curfew, there were no pedestrians on the streets, only a team of patrol soldiers, Wang Jianhuo had his own way to avoid the interrogation, and after meeting with the emperor, he didn't have to worry, the guard Wang He had a military card, and he could walk around the city at will, and even go out of the city late at night.

After going out of the city for several miles, the military badge was no longer needed, and the group took off their hats, wrapped their cloaks tightly, and tried not to show their official bodies, Wang Jianhuo wore a cloak and used his hood to block his iconic face.

It was the middle of the night, and the official road outside the city flickered with a little fire, stretching far away, and the roadside was covered with large and small shacks, and there were still many people lying on the ground, with a little hay laid under them.

Every once in a while, there are indeed official and private grain sheds, which are closed at night and no one is allowed to live, and occasionally there are poor people who take care of the grain sheds who do not sleep, and gather together to drink, and the noise is particularly harsh.

The group dismounted, several guards led all the horses to follow, Han Ruzi, Donghai Wang, Wang Jianhuo, and Wang He walked in front, and the other guards scattered to follow, holding the knife in the cloak in one hand at all times.

"This area is full of displaced people from Henan County, the time is short, not all of them have arrived, and there are still many on the road." Wang Jianhuo whispered.

Through the fire on the side of the road, Han Ruzi could see some homeless people who had not yet slept, they were sitting there in a daze, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, not knowing what they were waiting for or thinking.

There was a child who did not know whether it was a man or a woman, standing alone on the side of the road, clutching a ball of corn in his hand, swallowing it heavily, and when he saw someone coming, he turned around and ran.

"Without this grain release, at least half of the people here would not have survived the summer." Wang Jianhuo said.

Suddenly there was a quarrel in front of him, Han Ruzi quickened his pace, and heard an angry voice say, "Didn't you say to get grain and go back to your hometown?" When do you have to put food in one meal like this? ”

Another voice persuaded: "Okay, okay, the government has released grain, and you still complain, have you forgotten what happened to starvation?" I heard that this is for the emperor to see, before the emperor leaves Luoyang, he has to take a look, everyone has left after receiving the grain, what does the emperor see? ”

"It's really uncomfortable, it's better to be ......"

"Shhh, you want to die, you can be at ease, what about the wives and children at home?"

The quarrel ended, and a small crowd in the darkness dispersed.

Wang Jianhuo whispered: "It's okay to have a family and a job, and I am willing to return to the township, as far as I know, if the old and young in the family have starved to death, the men of that family will not come to receive food, and would rather be thieves in the mountains." ”

Han Ruzi snorted, it was too late to release the grain, I don't know how many people died because of this, and how many people were completely disappointed in the court, and they were determined to be robbers, or even rebel.

Based on what he has seen and heard so far, Han Ruzi feels that this private visit is worth it, sitting in the city, he only knows that the situation of the displaced people is grim, but he can't feel the sense of urgency related to life and death.

A man suddenly jumped out of the shadows on the side of the road, and the guards behind him swarmed up, and Wang Jianhuo waved his hand to them, indicating that they were okay.

It wasn't an assassin, just a thin outcast, who seemed to be hiding something under his tattered clothes, and he glanced viciously at the man in the cloak, and was not afraid at all, but instead spat on the ground menacingly, and ran faster.

Petty theft is a common occurrence among displaced people, and saving one's life is always the most important thing.

After walking two or three miles, Wang Jianhuo motioned for the guards behind him to move farther away, and took the lead into a path in the wilderness, where many homeless people also lived.

"The displaced people in this area are from other places, and they have long gathered near Luoyang, and they will come as soon as they are called." Wang Jianhuo introduced.

Most of the displaced people here had not slept, and men, women, and children gathered around the campfire, listening to a few people talking, who were dressed in tatters but not so thin, apparently the impostors that Wang Jianhuo had said.

"How? This is the chance, ten more will come together, and you can get together! One man was spitting and shouting at the crowd.

Wang Jianhuo asked an old man in the outermost area, "What is the opportunity for this one?" ”

"There is a great benevolent man who is willing to send us back to our hometown, and is willing to pay for us to buy seeds and hire cattle." The old man didn't reply, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark.

"That's a good thing."

"Well, after returning to the hometown, you have to take the title deed as a guarantee, and if you don't pay the account after the autumn, the land will belong to the family, I think at the beginning, we didn't sell the land when we left our hometown, but now we have some food, but ...... Alas. ”

Han Ruzi was furious, and finally understood why the merchants in Luoyang were so enthusiastic in participating in the grain release, they wanted to take the opportunity to annex the poor land.

Wang Jianhuo was not surprised at all, nodded, turned his head to the emperor and said, "Go further, there are still many things." (To be continued.) )
