At noon the next day, Li Yanqing arrived at Fengqiu County, which is located in the north of Kaifeng Prefecture and is the county that must pass through from Baimadu in Hebei Province to the south of the capital.

After entering Fengqiu County, Li Yanqing first arrived at Panji Town, which was a refugee relief point, and saw five or six porridge sheds built in the open space in front of the temple in the north, which was close to the official road, gathering tens of thousands of refugees who had fled from the north, and there were long queues in front of each porridge shed.

Li Yanqing looked at them one by one, and as he saw them last time, there were porridge sheds in Daci Temple in Fengqiu County, porridge sheds in Tianying Palace Taoist Temple, and several porridge sheds of big households in Fengqiu County, but Li Yanqing looked at it twice, but he didn't find the porridge shed of the government.

Li Yanqing's eyes became cold, he didn't say a word, and rushed towards the county seat twenty miles away with more than a hundred personal soldiers.

Soon, they arrived at the south gate of the county, and there was also a relief point outside the south gate of the county, where the refugees were crowded, surrounding the poor few small porridge sheds, and people could be heard scolding and children crying everywhere, but the government was still nowhere to be seen.

At this time, a group of refugees from Tangyin County recognized Li Yanqing and shouted, "It's Li Guanren!" ”

Dozens of refugees stepped forward to surround Li Yanqing and cried, "Li Guanren, help us!" We only ate one meal in two days, and we didn't have any money on us, so the government didn't care if we lived or died! ”

The grief of the villagers made Li Yanqing feel sad for a while, and hurriedly comforted everyone, "Fellow villagers, I, Li Yanqing, will definitely help everyone, let's go to the city first!" I'll buy grain and rice for everyone! ”

He took out a few ingots of silver, and let two pro-soldiers lead dozens of people into the city to buy rice, and the villagers thanked them for their kindness, and at this time, dozens of people came up to complain, "Daguan, we are fleeing from Zhending Mansion, we have crossed the Yellow River with great hardship, but the government does not care whether we live or die, we have several old people who have died of weakness and illness in the past few days, it is too chilling!" ”

Li Yanqing arched his hand to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will definitely urge the government to increase disaster relief, not only Fengqiu County, but also all prefectures in Hebei and the capital will provide disaster relief, this is my Li Yanqing's promise to everyone, if I can't do it, I Li Yanqing will have no face to be this Kaifeng Yin again!" ”

There was a burst of cheers all around, Li Yanqing knew that it was not enough to just promise, and the difficulties of these refugees in front of him had to be solved, so he urgently ordered 20 personal soldiers to return to the capital Baoyanzhai to withdraw 5,000 taels of silver, and buy grain in the name of Baoyanzhai to go to the Yellow River to give porridge.

At this time, the anger in Li Yanqing's heart could not be suppressed, and he rushed towards the county seat, and several township soldiers guarding the city came to deal with the fierce situation, and did not dare to stop it, they flashed to the side, and Li Yanqing led the army to rush to the county government with a gust of wind.

Ren Qiu Zhixian hurriedly greeted him, "The next official is Jiang Qi, see Fu Yin!" ”

Li Yanqing pointed his whip and reprimanded angrily: "I asked all counties in Kaifeng Prefecture to start giving relief to refugees before noon today, and now it's noon, and you actually disobey the order?" ”

"Qiqi Mansion Yin, in fact, we have already started disaster relief this morning, but just now the prince sent someone to ask for the guilt and ordered us to stop the relief and obey the unified deployment of the imperial court.

Li Yanqing was furious, "Where is the person sent by Wang Hao?" ”

"Just drink tea in the county office."

Li Yanqing drank the order, "Find it out for me!" ”

More than a dozen pro-soldiers rushed into the county office like wolves, and after a while, a middle-aged man was pulled out, and the middle-aged man was so frightened that his face was as pale as dirt, but he still shouted stubbornly: "I am engaged in the Zhizheng Hall, and I was sent by the prince of the king, Li Yanqing, you must not be rampant!" ”

Li Yanqing turned around and asked Zhixian, "He said that he was sent by the Prime Minister, is there any evidence?" ”

"He has a silver medal from Wang Xiangguo."

Li Yanqing made a look, immediately rushed up to several soldiers, searched out a silver medal from the man's arms, and presented it to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing looked at this quaint silver medal, the front is the word 'Wang', and behind it is Wang Huang's official name, the governor of the Zhongshu Order, numbered 03.

The middle-aged man was in a hurry, "This is the identity of Wang Xianggong, Li Yanqing, give it back to me!" ”

Li Yanqing coldly ordered: "Break one of his legs and throw him on the street!" ”

Several sergeants rushed up and threw the sticks together, the middle-aged man screamed, and in a moment, his left thigh was broken by the sticks, and the soldiers threw him into the street.

Jiang Qi's frightened face was like earth, and Li Yanqing snorted: "If you want to keep your official hat, give me immediate relief to the refugees." ”

"Yes! Be! Obedience. ”

Jiang Qi hurriedly arranged for officials and officials to go outside the city to set up stalls again for disaster relief, and Li Yanqing sent more than a dozen soldiers to the counties to supervise the disaster relief situation in the counties of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Li Yanqing went to the East Palace first, he needed to discuss with the crown prince Zhao Huan about the relief of refugees, this matter could not be counted on the Zhizheng Hall, it must be presided over by the Military Council, and some ineffective officials in Kaifeng Mansion must also be dismissed on the spot.

"Li Fuyin, this afternoon, the official family convened the Military Council Hall and the Zhizheng Hall to discuss the matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until later."

"Where?"

"It seems to be in the Zichen Palace, His Highness went to the Zichen Palace!"

Li Yanqing bowed his hand to the eunuch, "Thank you!" ”

Li Yanqing turned around and walked in the direction of Zichen Palace.

Zichen Hall is the place where the Song Dynasty Emperor held a small court meeting, today is at the invitation of the Prime Minister King Huang, Zhao Ji temporarily held this court meeting, including the prefect hall and the military hall dozens of important officials participated in the court meeting.

In fact, this is not the first time that a court meeting has been held, the contradiction between the military council hall and the prefect hall is acute, especially Wang Hao and Cai You in order to prevent Zhao Huan from ascending to the throne, spared no effort to destroy the various prison decrees issued by the military council hall, Wang Hao and Cai You continued to complain to the son of heaven Zhao Ji, accusing the military council hall of bypassing the magistrate's hall and seriously evading the power of the minister, so that the prefectures and counties in the world only know that there is an East Palace, but do not know the imperial court.

For this reason, Zhao Ji has come forward to reconcile twice, but in the end there is no effect, and the fuse of today's court meeting is Zizhou Road and Chengdu Fu Road to release five million guan tax money, the military council is ready to allocate it to Hebei for military recruitment, but Wang Hao advocated that it be allocated to the inner treasury, used to build the dragon ship of the Son of Heaven's southern tour, the two sides did not give in to each other, Wang Hao asked to initiate this court meeting.

In the Zichen Palace, Li Gang and Wang Hao competed against each other, and their arguments had gone beyond the money itself, but over the ownership of power.

Wang Hao said hoarsely: "The crown prince's imprisonment of the country is a foregone conclusion, and the Zhizheng Hall does not deny it, but the Zhizheng Hall represents the power of the Prime Minister, if everything is decided by the Military Council, and the Zhizheng Hall has become an ornament, then where is the power of the Prime Minister?" Then it's better to dissolve the Zhizheng Hall and dismiss all of us from office! ”

Li Gang sneered and retorted: "The Military Council Hall has never thought of replacing the Zhizheng Hall, the role of the Military Council Hall is only to strengthen combat preparedness and prevent the Jin State from invading the Great Song Dynasty again, it is just a temporary official office under the Jianguo Palace, Xiangguo is still Xiangguo, no one will set aside Xiangquan, but I want to ask Wang Xianggong, the prince has been in charge of the country for two months, as the right minister, when did you come to the palace to ask the prince for government affairs?" When did you report on the affairs of the court? Not once, on the contrary, you have obstructed the decree of the state of supervision under the crown prince in every way, so that only two of the thirteen orders for war preparedness have been implemented, and it just so happens that Your Majesty is also there, please explain to Your Majesty, what is your intention to repeatedly sabotage the order of the state and obstruct the war preparation? ”

Wang Hao was stammered when asked, and at this time, Zhao Ji waved his hand a little impatiently and said: "If there is anything you can talk about calmly, it is all for the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to be so-for-tat, let this matter go for a while, and talk about other things." ”

Li Gang saluted, returned to his seat and sat down, Wang Hao glared at Li Gang fiercely, he also sat down, the hall was silent, the prince Zhao Huan was still sitting down like an old monk, although he participated in the court meeting, but in this kind of public occasion, he never expressed his position, Zhao Ji would not ask him, the father and son had a tacit understanding.

At this moment, a eunuch ran behind Zhao Ji in small steps and said a few words to him, Zhao Ji nodded, "Let him in!" ”

The eunuch rushed away, and Zhao Ji said to the hundred officials: "Kaifeng Mansion Li Fu Yin said that there is an urgent report, I let him in, everyone listens." ”

Not long after, Li Yanqing walked into the side hall quickly, he bowed and saluted, "Weichen see Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhao Huan only nodded slightly, but Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Li Fuyin has entered the state so quickly, let's say it!" What's the urgency? ”

Li Yanqing's sharp gaze stabbed at Wang Huang, Wang Huang was suddenly a little uneasy, his eyes hurriedly avoided, Li Yanqing sneered in his heart, and then he said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Qiyu Prince Jianguo, Weichen entered Beijing to go south from Hebei, along the way I saw mourning people all over the field, everywhere were displaced and homeless refugees, after crossing the Yellow River, the official road was also crowded with refugees who helped the old and the young, and saw that several porridge sheds were temples and Taoist temples, but I didn't see the figure of the government, which was a serious dereliction of duty by the government, so Weichen took office on the first day yesterday, and asked Shaoyin of Kaifeng Prefecture, why didn't he open a warehouse to help refugees? He told me that Kaifeng Mansion had already reported the relief plan to Wang Xiangguo more than a month ago, so Wechen wanted to ask Wang Xiangguo why he had detained the relief plan of Kaifeng Mansion for more than a month. Ignoring the lives and deaths of thousands of refugees? ”

At this time, Li Gang also angrily denounced: "This is also one of the prince's decrees, which were promulgated two months ago, but they are still in the hands of Wang Xiangguo. ”
