Chapter 8 No and Taylor

In the evening, in the Guogong Mansion, Yang Yong stood respectfully in front of Zhang Shouzheng and said: "Shibo, I inadvertently went outside Jiangling City today, and what I saw and heard was shocking."

"Oh, nephew, you might as well talk about it. The old man has been in Luoyang for a long time, and he doesn't know the changes in his hometown, and I don't know how shocking it is." Zhang Shouzheng is obviously particularly interested in this topic.

Seeing this, Yang Yong hurriedly asked, "Shi Boke still remembers the flood in the south."

"The old man has heard a little about this, has he?" Zhang Shou seemed to be lost in thought.

Yang Yong saw Zhang Shouzheng deep in thought, and immediately said the request in his heart: "My nephew implores Shibo to inform Jiangling Mansion and relieve the victims outside the city."

"It's not that the old man doesn't want to, it's just that it is a big responsibility to open a granary privately......" Zhang Shouzheng said after pondering for a long time, just looking at Yang Yong's resolute gaze halfway through, thinking that this matter could not go against his own heart.

pondered for a long time again, and made up his mind in his heart to say to Yang Yong: "This world is a disaster, and the old man can't manage it. However, this Jiangling Mansion is the old man's home, and since the old man has seen it, he has to take care of it. Disaster relief is like fighting a fire, and it cannot be delayed."

After Zhang Shouzheng finished speaking, he shouted loudly outside the door: "Where is the housekeeper?"

"What does the lord command?" An old man dressed as a butler trotted in from far away.

Zhang Shouzheng looked at the housekeeper and ordered, "You go and prepare the carriage for the old man."

"Please wait a minute, sir, it will be fine right away." The housekeeper hurriedly took the order, ran down and instructed the family to prepare the carriage

When the carriage was parked outside the mansion, Zhang Shouzheng said to Yang Yong next to him: "Yong'er, you can go to the Jiangling Mansion with the old man."

"My nephew would like to go to ......," Yang Yong finished speaking, and got into the carriage with Zhang Shouzheng.

For several days, Liu Sheng, Jia Fu, and Sima Zhao played with Bao'er among the victims, and several people sat cross-legged. Watching Bao'er walk away, Jia Fu asked, "Brother Sima, we have only seen Bao'er's mother these days, what about his father?"

"The concubine is blessed, and her ex-husband died of illness. My husband's family disliked me and drove me and Bao'er out of the house." A slightly plump woman with a beautiful face slowly walked out of the tent. Look about twenty years old, with a glass of water in his hand. There was a hint of sadness between the words, as if I had inadvertently remembered the past.

Jia Fu saw that the woman was sad and hurriedly apologized: "In Xia Menglang, please don't be surprised by Sister Yiyi."

"It's okay, it's all in the past. I wanted to return to my parents' house with Bao'er, but the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes. Halfway through, there was a sudden flood and he was involved in the victims. This way I just pity my treasure and endure all the hardships. A few months ago, I was fortunate to meet Mr. Sima, and since I got Mr. 's help, I have made the concubine feel a lot more at ease along the way." Urging Yi Yi to be relieved, there was a hint of relief in his tone.

Sima Zhao heard Yi Yi praise like this, and said embarrassedly: "What you have done is really not enough to worry about, Miss Yi Yi is too famous." If someone else sees this situation, they will definitely not stand idly by."

"I don't know where Sister Yiyi's maiden home is." Liu Sheng saw that Sima Zhao and Xuan Yiyi were polite to each other, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

Urging Yiyi heard Liu Sheng's question and hurriedly replied: "My mother's home is in Chang'an, if I visit Chang'an one day." You can ask the locals where the urging family is, and the concubine is waiting for you in the urging mansion to thank you for your kindness these days."

At this moment, the commotion sounded, and a team of stubborn armor soldiers ran over. Gradually, order was restored in the disaster-stricken civilian areas, and notices were posted everywhere, and literate people read: Gangneung Prefecture announced that the number of victims was increasing and the order collapsed. The victims are hungry, the people are miserable, and they are afraid of disasters in the long run. The government decided to mobilize troops to maintain order and open granaries to relieve the victims.

The cheers came like a tsunami, and the campers were jubilant as if they were celebrating the New Year, and they rushed to tell each other. Truckloads of grain and cheers entered the camp together, and teams of soldiers carried the grain. Some cooks began to set up stoves to cook porridge, and after the porridge was boiled, they began to line up. Under the deterrence of the armor, the looting disappeared, and everything was in order.

Liu Sheng and the others had already been deeply shocked by this scene, and Sima Zhao sighed: "When the government didn't come forward, it was a mess. Looting has been repeatedly prohibited, and the old, weak, women and children are not allowed to eat. Looking at this scene, who else dares to snatch it, the porridge in the mouth of the woman and children, this is my court. The important weapon of the country is to resist external insults and promote the prestige of our country externally, and to deter the small and stubborn inside, so that all industries are stable, and the old and weak, women and children have something to rely on."

"Brother Sima's words are exactly what I sigh in my heart. It's just that I don't understand why the relief of the victims has been delayed until today. In view of this situation, such an act is by no means a hasty action. It is really incomprehensible that some people in the DPRK and China have already been prepared." Liu Sheng also sighed and said that when he saw such a scene, he was even more puzzled

After hearing this, Jia Fu also thought for a while, and also asked everyone: "Yes, since someone in the court has long known about the disaster, they have already been fully prepared. Why do they stay still, saving people like fighting fire, why are they? “

Seeing a few people pondering, Qi Yiyi smiled indifferently and explained: "How does the imperial court act, but can we, the small people of Shengdou, speculate?" According to the concubine's humble opinion, there is a way that the sky is going to rain, and the mother wants to get married. Let it be, let it be".

After hearing this, several people were immediately relieved, and Bao'er suddenly ran over and asked innocently: "Mother, what did you just say about getting married."

When everyone heard Bao'er's innocent question, they suddenly burst into laughter. Bao'er was embarrassed by the laughter, scratched her head and muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that Bao'er heard it wrong."

At this time, on the road not far away, a horse galloped in, bringing up a cloud of dust. The knight slowed down, and a loud voice sounded: Your Majesty is dead, and the whole country mourns. Within three days, all weddings were banned throughout the country.

As soon as the words fell, the knight urged the horse to whip up again, and walked away. After a short time, another horse arrived, and immediately the knight shouted loudly: The new emperor has ascended the throne to show His Majesty's benevolence. After 10 days, the amnesty will be granted to the whole world, except for the most heinous people, the rest of the people can go to their own homes, and those who have relatives and friends can go to the prison after 10 days to wait for the queen.

The knight galloped away, and another horse followed: "Your Majesty has a decree: I have heard that the disaster in the south is getting worse and worse, and the people are displaced and miserable. From now on, the minister will be appointed to go to Jiangnan to coordinate the disaster."

The people who rode in a row were dazzled, and then thunderous cheers rang out. Slowly, some people in the crowd understood that it was inappropriate, and the cheers gradually subsided. Although the cheers subsided, people's faces showed knowing smiles.

When Jia Fu heard this, his head was blindfolded for a while, and a hundred feelings came to his heart, and he asked unquestionably: "The new emperor ascends the throne, amnesty to the world, amnesty to the world, amnesty ...... the world"

"Ten days later, we will be amnesty, we can go outside the prison that day, and wait for Uncle Jia to return home." Liu Sheng is also embarrassed when he thinks of his experience these days.

Jia Fu fell to the ground with two silent tears, and sighed for a long time: "Such days are finally coming to an end......
