Chapter 144: The Benevolent Emperor

After changing his clothes, Helan Minzhi hurried out, although the Great Treasure Hall seemed to be larger than the Imperial Palace, it seemed to be very empty, and it did not look delicate everywhere, but it was slightly desolate. The candlelight here www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion is far less bright than Wu Zetian's, and the wind and rain outside make it even more dim in the hall.

But that's not what he should say, all he can do now is sit down honestly in the place he has prepared for himself. Compared to his simplicity and speed, it took longer for the woman to change clothes with the emperor. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took a look outside.

It seems that the soldiers who escorted themselves and others should still be standing guard at the door, and no one in this storm is copper-skinned and iron-clad, and it is not easy for anyone. glanced at the room, except for the palace maid and the eunuch, Xue Rengui was not there. Could it be that he is also outside with ordinary sergeants?

Thinking of this, Helan Minzhi quickly stood up and took two steps outside. Sure enough, Xue Rengui, like an ordinary sergeant, stood upright in the wind and rain, looking at the dark front meticulously. Suddenly, Helan Minzhi's nose was slightly pantothenic. He seemed to understand why Xue Rengui could be famous through the ages and become a famous general with the Tang generation. can govern the army so well, and the soldiers he leads can be so disciplined, he is worthy of the title of general.

In the future, if it is still the trajectory of the previous life. Then maybe I can help him in the future, thinking to myself, but my footsteps walked towards the hall. This time is not the time to get close to Xue Renguitao, taking advantage of the chaos, his relatives befriended the minister, and he was the minister who guarded the palace, so he said that he was still young, but he couldn't stand it, and people who had a heart just loved to find trouble.

By the time he returned, Wu Shun and Min Yue were already seated. Although the clothes have been changed, like Helan Minzhi, his hair is still wet. The rain was so rapid and too great that the umbrella was useless at all, as if it hadn't been hit, and it was drenched all over my body.

After a while, Min Yue began to sneeze, and Li Zhi and Wu Mei walked out hand in hand. looked at the main hall, frowned, and sat down in the top position with a gloomy face. The old eunuch who was serving beside him kept staring at Li Zhi's expression with slanted eyes, and immediately understood something. Hurriedly trotted down, and it didn't take three or two minutes for a few palace maids to come up with several bowls of ginger soup and handed a bowl of ginger soup to no one.

"Warm up, it's enough to toss today, don't catch a cold." Wu Mei took the ginger soup and handed it directly to Li Zhi, and then said to Wu Shun and them.

At this moment, Li Zhi, who was frowning, gradually slowed down his face. He Lan Minzhi, who was watching from the side, was secretly frightened, this person who could figure out the emperor's mind by frowning, this must be a lot of emperor's heart. In the future, even if this old eunuch does not make friends, he must not be offended.

After using the ginger soup, my body gradually warmed up.

Li Zhi seemed to suddenly remember something: "Laifu, you go and pass on the decree and let General Xue enter the house with ginger soup." None of the soldiers outside the door gave him a bowl. You should also find a place to drink a bowl of ginger soup and sweat, and come and serve. ”

The old eunuch arched his hand: "The old slave thanks everyone for their grace." He walked out of the temple.

Li Zhi is a benevolent monarch, at least after he recovered, he did not forget the soldiers outside the door. That's pretty good, it's good.

Xue Rengui was also grateful, and knelt down on one knee as soon as he entered the door: "The ministers have thanked Your Majesty for the reward for the soldiers." He was already soaked all over his body, and the two steps from outside the hall made the hall full of water traces, dripping from the ends of his hair to the bottom, and even some of the water dripped into his eyes, and Helan Minzhi didn't see him blink his eyes. This is the tough guy in the army, the iron-blooded veteran who has climbed from the bottom. A man with iron bones up and down.

"Get up and give Xue Aiqing a seat. I was negligent to see you like this. After talking back later, let's go back and rest. I've been pointing at you here for the past two days, but don't get sick. Facing Xue Rengui, Li Zhi said in the gentlest tone with a little concern.

Although he knew that this was a kind of imperial technique, Helan Minzhi also had to say that he was really moved at this time. If I were Xue Rengui, I'm afraid I would really feel warm.

"Your Majesty, although the minister hasn't been on the battlefield for some years, his body is still tough. This little rain, the minister is not afraid. ”

"That's good, that's good."

After watching Xue Rengui finish drinking a bowl of ginger soup and gradually stretching out his body, Li Zhicai asked with a worried face: "This Jiucheng Palace can be temporarily safeguarded, I don't know how the people under the mountain are?" ”

Although Li Zhi has been repeatedly presented with twists and turns these days, it is said that several rivers in Guanzhong have broken out in floods, but this is just a string of numbers after all. In what year will there not be an earthquake or a flood in this great world? Therefore, Li Zhi didn't care much about it, but he just ordered Shangshu to save the Ministry of Household Funding, the Ministry of Industry to repair it, and the yamen of various provinces, prefectures, and counties to prevent disaster relief. But the rain is coming today more quickly and heavier than the previous days. And it has already endangered the safety of Jiucheng Palace, which is not a trivial matter. I have become what I am now, and you can imagine what the people of the world have become.

At this time, his life is finally worry-free, and as an emperor, it is time for him to care about the people.

"Your Majesty, I don't know much about the ministers, but I see them. This evening, there was a sudden flood near the rooftop, and most of the people's houses have been washed away. Survivors, I'm afraid there won't be one in ten..."

Xue Rengui got the truth, and he really didn't listen to this truth. If a politician comes, I am afraid that he will have to say this: There was a sudden flood near the rooftop, but thanks to the protection of His Majesty, most of the soldiers and civilians under the mountain can still survive. As soon as the flood receded, the ministers immediately organized relief and repaired the houses.

This can be regarded as leaving face for the emperor, but he obviously can't think of these things for such a big old man. When the emperor asked, he answered truthfully, and said whatever he saw. I'm afraid what he saw was too miserable.

"Can the news be transmitted back to Chang'an now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the water under the mountain is too urgent, and now it's night, I'm afraid I will have to try it tomorrow at the latest. Otherwise, no matter how many people are sent, it will not help. ”

"Okay, I drafted the decree overnight, and you came early tomorrow morning to ask for the decree to be sent back to Chang'an as soon as possible, and handed it over to the eldest grandson."

"Receiving Orders"

After waving his hand and letting Xue Rengui go down, he turned around and asked the old eunuch beside him: "Is there a shortage of food in Jiucheng Palace now?" ”

This does not simply refer to food, but also to various daily necessities.

"Back to everyone's words, since it rained heavily, the old slave arranged for people to move all the stored grain to the storage place behind the Great Treasure Palace. Now this food is enough for more than a year, so please don't worry. (To be continued.) )
