Chapter 169: False alarm

The sun is three poles, the relief is still continuing, the eaten up cauldron has started to cook again, and the long queue of the people is still slowly moving, it seems that it will take at least three or four rounds to make everyone full.

Hundreds of well-fed people helped to carry water and chop firewood, they were very busy, the people were very kind, and they always had to do something to show their return for eating free meals, so the errands of the servants of the Wang family were a lot easier.

Seeing that the rice and grain were all gone, Wang Yuan asked Huang San to take a few servants to the nearby people's workshop to buy some rice, vegetables and other things to replenish. Today, I underestimated, I thought that there were only a thousand people, but now in the face of three or four thousand refugees, it may cost thousands of catties of rice, hundreds of catties of vegetables, eggs and meat to fulfill my promise to feed them. This is just a meal, how to let these people have a long time to eat is a big problem, Wang Yuan began to think seriously about these problems.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the city gate, and I saw a carriage being stopped at the gate of the city and not allowed to leave the city, and an angry old man trembling down from the carriage shouted something to the soldiers who blocked the carriage. Wang Yuan saw the appearance of the person clearly, and was immediately startled, that person was Lu Yuanji, the chief scholar of the Hanlin Academy, so he hurriedly trotted over.

Lu Yuanji saw Wang Yuan at a glance and immediately shouted: "Oh, Master Wang, I have found you, the old man went to your house to look for you, and after listening to Mrs. Zun's words, I knew that you came to Xicheng to help." Hurry up, go with me. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Lu Chengzhi, didn't I take a leave?" Why are you looking for me again? ”

Lu Yuanji glared and said, "Do you think the old man has nothing to do when he is full?" Your Majesty sent someone to summon you at the Hanlin Academy, but the big guys didn't know where you went. The old man regrets that he shouldn't let you take leave, His Majesty must be anxious to wait, and he will definitely scold the old man when he turns back. Don't say it, let's go. ”

Wang Yuan exclaimed: "Has Your Majesty summoned you?" What's that? If it is a matter of preparing an edict, can't you wait for the edict to do it for you? ”

Lu Yuanji frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?" Your Majesty summoned you to the audience, and you still pushed back and asked some reasons, why don't you ask Your Majesty directly if you want to know the reasons? ”

Wang Yuan scratched his head and said: "No, I have thousands of mouths here waiting to eat, and no one will take care of me here as soon as I leave, isn't this going to be messy?" ”

Lu Yuanji stomped his feet and said: "You are just troublesome, after knowing that you came here to help, everyone said that you were nosy." There are people in the imperial court who take care of this kind of thing, what do you want to worry about as a Hanlin bachelor? I know you're young and want to make a name for yourself, but don't do what you shouldn't do. Hurry up, go quickly, don't say much. ”

Wang Yuan was speechless, it was a sad thing to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds but be complained about. His Majesty summoned him to see him in a hurry, and the affairs here always have to be handed over to one person, so he called the young servant named Qin Xiaoliu and said: "I have something important to do, here you keep an eye on it first, ensure that the order is not chaotic, and wait for your third brother Huang to buy rice and vegetables and come back." Do you have what it takes? ”

Qin Xiaoliu was obviously a little flustered, after all, he was originally just an ordinary peasant youth, and he was of course a little scared when he suddenly had to take charge alone.

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said: "Don't be afraid, I will explain these soldiers to help you, and the villagers will not make trouble on their own, this is a chance for you, if you really have the ability, you will get this matter done, and in the future, at home, you can also do some important things." ”

Qin Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Don't worry, master, villain...... Be sure to do things seriously. ”

Wang Yuan saw that he seemed to lack confidence, and said: "You are good to do this well, and after you do it, I will take your grandfather and your sister-in-law into the city, and settle down in our house to do things in peace, if you can't do it, then it's okay." ”

Qin Xiaoliu was overjoyed, he was originally worried about what to do with his elderly grandfather and little sister wandering here? Hearing each other's hosts' willingness to take them in, their courage suddenly doubled. patted his chest and said, "If you can't do this, the master will peel me off." ”

Wang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, turned around and found the officer and explained: "This general, Your Majesty has summoned me, and I am going to see Your Majesty here, please take care of the general here." ”

The officer had already heard the conversation between Lu Yuanji and Wang Yuan in his ears just now, and he had long been envious to death. I am afraid that it is rare for a military general of his level to see His Majesty once in his life, and His Majesty Wang Yuan specially summoned him to meet him, which is simply crazy with jealousy. But at the same time, he also respects Wang Yuan even more.

"Master Wang, but it's okay to go, the brothers here will show you, and there will be no chaos."

Wang Yuan thanked him and asked in a low voice: "I haven't known the general's surname for a long time, and when His Majesty asks, I can't ask three questions." ”

The officer was overjoyed, Wang Yuan was going to reveal his name in front of His Majesty, which was a dream thing. So he hurriedly said: "I am Yu Dagang, and I am the general of the left leading army and guard, and I am guarding Yanping Gate." Bachelor must remember. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Remember, I remember, I said goodbye." ”

Turning around, Lu Yuanji, who was blowing his beard and glaring, was already in a hurry, and urged repeatedly. Wang Yuan asked, "Where did Your Majesty summon you?" ”

"Where else could it be? Hanyuan Palace, it hasn't dispersed yet. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, at this time, the sun is three poles, the time has passed, the weekday court will have already dispersed by this time, but today it has not dispersed the dynasty, it seems that there must be a reason. If I delay like this, I am afraid that there will be more people who have offended, in addition to the anxiety of His Majesty and others, the hundred officials in the hall are afraid that they will also scold their mother.

I didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so I took the black horse 'explosive barrel' to turn over and get on the horse, and with my legs clamping the horse's belly, the big black horse galloped out and galloped along the long street.

……

Galloped all the way to the front of the Daming Palace, dismounted and entered the palace and went straight to the Hanyuan Palace, and Wang Yuan was dumbfounded in front of the palace.

Wang Yuan hurriedly stopped an official and asked, "Is the dynasty scattered?" ”

The official recognized Wang Yuan, pointed at Wang Yuan and said, "You are a person, we have been waiting for half an hour." Your Majesty summoned you to be so lazy, and it was really rude. ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "Then what now?" ”

The official said, "How do I know what to do?" It's up to you to do it yourself. With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Wang Yuan scratched his head with a wry smile, and hurriedly went up against the flow of people to the gate of the hall, and when he arrived at the gate of the hall, he saw that the two attendants were struggling to close the door of the hall, and the heavy door of the hall slowly closed with a dull and reckless sound.

Wang Yuan was helpless, and when he was hesitating, he heard someone talking on the steps on the side of the hall: "Master Wang, you are here, Your Majesty ordered you to go to Qinghui Pavilion to meet you after you arrive, come with our family." ”

Wang Yuan turned his eyes and saw a middle-aged waiter standing on the steps by the stone railing, looking at him with a smile. This person Wang Yuan has had several encounters, and on several occasions he has been seen accompanying His Majesty like Gao Lishi, and his name is Wang Chengen.

"Thank you, thank you, but I wonder if the king's chamberlain knows what His Majesty summoned me today? I've been delayed for an hour, and I'm a little uncertain. Can the king's chamberlain reveal one or two? Wang Yuan stepped forward and arched his hand.

"It's not a big deal, what else can you bachelors do? Today, the two ministers of the government hall discussed the matter of dealing with the refugees, and finally agreed on an idea. Because there have been some rumors in Chang'an City these days because of the refugees, His Majesty wants to draft an edict to calm the hearts of the people, so I invite you scholars from the Hanlin Academy to draw up an edict to calm the people. Wang Chengen smiled faintly.

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "That's it?" Aren't the masters of the Hallym Academy all there? Why do you have to call me? ”

Wang Chengen smiled and said: "Bachelor Wang is hypocritical, isn't it that His Majesty is not satisfied with the edict written by those masters?" His Majesty was in a bad mood, and tore up a few edicts to denounce them as hateful and insincere, which made it difficult to reassure the people. Even when the palace reprimanded the academy for being unmanned, Lu Yuanji was in a hurry to ask you to give it a try, I hope that Your Majesty can be satisfied with the edict you wrote. ”

Wang Yuan was speechless, Xuanzong was too particular, just an edict, why do you toss so much? I'm afraid it's not the edict's problem, but Xuanzong's mood today is really bad, maybe he was angry with Yang Guifei in the inner palace.

But knowing the reason, Wang Yuan's heart let go of most of it, and this is not a big deal. Although there are edicts in the palace, many edicts are drafted after the palace, and the time is not too late. At that moment, with Wang Chengen, he hurried to the Qinghui Pavilion to meet the driver.

Wang Chengen went in to report, and soon the servant went out to announce that Wang Yuan had entered, and stepped into the Qinghui Pavilion, Wang Yuan was dumbfounded again, it turned out that although the early dynasty was dispersed, Li Linfu, Li Shizhi, Yang Shenjin, Pei Kuan, Yang Zhao and other important ministers gathered here, still discussing things. No wonder I didn't see these faces in the crowd just now.

Wang Yuan walked forward quickly under the gaze of everyone and saluted, Xuanzong, who was sitting on the soft couch, pulled his face, and when Wang Yuan got up and split his head, he said: "Wang Yuan, during official time, you are not on duty at the Hanlin Academy, where did you go?" ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Lu Chengzhi have taken leave, and there are some urgent matters to deal with, so I ...... it."

"Hmph, urgent, your urgent matter or my urgent matter? Your Hallym Academy is very leisurely, and it is more comfortable than me. I talk and wander around every day, but when I really want to do something, I cower. I'm not happy. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister knows that he is wrong, and His Majesty will punish him." ”

Xuanzong saw that Wang Yuan had a correct attitude and admitted his mistake positively, so he snorted and said, "Stand aside first, and write an edict for me in a while." ”

Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the side to stand.

Xuanzong said to the ministers in front of him: "A few Aiqing, what should I do about this matter, you haven't given me an answer all morning, is it so difficult for me to wait for you to think of a way for me to come out?" ”
