People have troubles, and the emperor is no exception. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, these two troubles have no meaning to Lao Pang, about the problem of Xiangguo's position, Lao Pang has no ability to solve it for himself, about the problem of his son, Lao Pang wishes that he would only go to Pang Guifei's room every day.

Renzong sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Master Taishi, get ready, and go with me to see Lu Xiangguo." ”

Pang Ji immediately said: "The old minister obeys the order, and the old minister will go and let the inner court prepare." ”

Renzong said: "Don't alarm them, just the two of us, bring a few guards, and change our clothes." ”

The emperor of the Song Dynasty liked to pay private interviews very much, this tradition began with Zhao Kuangyin, the founding of the country, the story of the angry killing of the beggars was compiled into countless plays, and the legend of Huizong and Li Shishi was greatly interpreted in the people.

Moreover, the annual Lantern Festival is almost a celebration of the Song Dynasty emperor and the people.

Therefore, Renzong would not be like Kangxi Qianlong if he wanted to go out for a walk, and the officials who were provoked were greatly frightened.

Renzong and Pang Ji changed into civilian clothes, brought Yang Yi and six other guards, said hello to the guards outside the palace, and soon left the imperial city, very simple things.

From the palace to Lu Yijian's mansion, it was four or five miles to walk, and Renzong didn't even sit in a carriage, just to see how the people were along the road.

On the street, you can see the refugees.

Most of them were ragged and haggard, and they walked around the streets of Bianjing with a look of expectation.

Renzong's brows furrowed: "Taishi, how many such people are there in Bianjing now?" ”

Pang Ji thought for a moment: "Back to Long live, there are about fifty or sixty thousand people." ”

Renzong was surprised: "So many? ”

Pang Ji said: "These people can't live in their hometown anymore, so they come to Bianjing to find a way out. Banzai doesn't know, these people ask for very low wages, and some don't even need wages, just take care of the food. ”

Renzong nodded: "Alas, it's all my fault!" It was I who didn't do a good job as an emperor, and I caused them to leave their homeland! ”

Just as he was about to say something, a somewhat sturdy middle-aged woman walked up to Renzong, first blessed slightly, and then looked at Renzong with a pleading expression: "Master, can you reward the little woman with a mouthful of food?" The little woman does laundry, cooking, chopping wood, boiling water, and everything. ”

Renzong was touched by the woman's eyes, a pleading look that was not mixed with any distractions!

But he really didn't need such a servant, and besides, this kind of work in the palace was not something ordinary people could do.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a handful of copper coins from his bosom and put them down in the woman's hand: "Sister-in-law, go buy some food." ”

Pang Ji's face changed greatly: "Long live can't be given to her!" ”

But he said it too late, Renzong's money had already been stuffed into the woman's hand, and the woman knelt down gratefully: "Thank you, sir!" Thank you, sir! ”

When Renzong was wondering why Pang Ji said that he couldn't give it to her, he saw that the homeless people from all directions suddenly swarmed over, and they all rushed to Renzong's face, and men, women, and children suddenly fell to their knees!

One hand stretched out towards Renzong, Renzong was shocked, and Yang Yi and the others behind him also changed color on their faces! There's one or two assassins in between, so what's the matter?

Renzong suddenly didn't know how to deal with this situation, Yang Yi and the others gathered around him, and when they were about to draw their knives to expel the crowd, Renzong stopped them: "Don't do this!" These people are poor people, don't hurt them. ”

Pang Ji was pushed several times, but his old body burst out with powerful combat power at this time, and he forced a few strong homeless people out of the way, and then walked in, took out a handful of money from his arms, and threw it out into the distance: "It's all for you!" Without! ”

Those begging people immediately rushed in the direction where the copper coin fell, and Pang Ji pulled Renzong up: "Long live, go away!" ”

The six guards also seized this opportunity and ran away with Renzong in a hurry!

Renzong was frightened by the scene just now, and he no longer cared about looking at the people's feelings along the way, and when he saw a ragged person, he hid and walked, and after coming to the door of Lu Yijian's house, he first looked around, and only after finding those homeless people who worried him did not let Yang Yi knock on the door.

Lu Fu opened the door, and when he saw that it was Renzong, Lu Fu knelt down busily: "Grass man Lu Fu, kowtow to Long Live Lord!" ”

While kowtowing, he glanced at a family member behind him, and the family man hurriedly ran inside to inform Lu Yijian.

Renzong entered the gate and calmed down a little, and waved his hand to let Lu Fu get up: "Don't be polite, I will come to see Xiangguo, how is Xiangguo's body?" ”

Lu Fu didn't dare to get up, he still knelt on the ground and replied: "Go back to Long Live Lord, the lord's body is always not good, a few days ago, the son of the horse master got some precious ginseng from Goryeo, and the lord ate it every day, but it still didn't improve." ”

Renzong nodded, but Pang Ji kicked Lu Fu: "Don't go and inform your family Xiangguo yet!" ”

As he was talking, he heard the sound of a bell ringing from the Lu Mansion, and the family members on both sides quickly lined up in two lines and ran over, stood two feet away in front of Renzong, and then knelt down all at once. Lu Yijian slowly walked out at this time, his face looked ruddy, but Lu Yijian's face was originally white, and the ruddy itself illustrated a kind of pathology!

Lu Yijian's steps were very slow, and his granddaughter was supporting him by the side, as if as soon as that hand was released, Lu Yijian would definitely fall.

Seeing Renzong, Lu Yi knelt down briefly and saluted, and Renzong hurriedly ran up to help him up: "Xiangguo doesn't need to be polite, I just have Xiangguo in mind, let's see if Xiangguo's body is better." ”

Lu Yijian was a little moved, he was really moved at this time!

"The old minister is frightened, and he wants to live the distraction!" The tone of his voice was even a little shaky.

Pang Ji looked at Lu Yijian's appearance, and suddenly thought of himself. He and Lu Yijian are not a few years old, and in a few years, will he be like this? If he really can't stand up like Lu Yijian, what kind of result will he be?

Lu Yijian had the merit of supporting Renzong when he succeeded to the throne, and although he was a villain, he did a lot of good things for the Great Song Dynasty. What's more, where is there a Chen Shimei now, in order to get Chen Shimei's material and human support, those righteous men and gentlemen are willing to let go of Lu Yijian.

If you reach the day when you can't walk on the road, will those people let yourself wait for death with peace of mind?

Pang Ji didn't know, but there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Renzong grabbed Lu Yijian's other arm and gently patted his withered palm: "Xiangguo, take care of your body, when your body is better, I am still waiting for you to share my worries!" Without you in the court, I have no bottom in my heart. ”

Lu Yijian slowly turned to the side and asked Renzong to sit in the house. Renzong helped Lu Yijian to go inside together.

Lu Yijian's old face had a satisfied smile on it.

Renzong helped him walk, which was a great honor for Lu Yijian, and it was also an affirmation of his life! Lu Yijian felt that his life was really worth it.

"Long live, the old minister has a saying, you must say it to long live."

Renzong nodded: "Xiangguo, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Lu Yijian walked into the house, sat down slowly, and then gasped a few times, as if the action of sitting down had made him unbearable! After a while, he said: "Long live, now the displaced people are everywhere, the granaries in various places are in an emergency, if the grain is exhausted, my Great Song Society is in danger." ”

Renzong nodded: "Xiangguo rest assured, I have already issued a frugality order, including me, no more than three dishes per meal." Moreover, Shimei has already sent people to Goryeo and Dongying to buy food, and I want to be able to pass. ”

Lu Yijian coughed a few times: "The old minister knows, but now the Liao State and the party are still plagued by the war, and their displaced people will flee to the Great Song Dynasty in large numbers. If Banzai is left alone, they will inevitably start to snatch and even cause chaos. ”

This problem is indeed what Renzong is worried about, and he even thought about closing the border pass, but the border between the two sides is so long, how can it be closed?

"Is there a good plan for Xiangguo?"

Lu Yijian said: "There is no good policy, but there is a countermeasure. Lao Chen suggested that long live, select their strength from these fleeing Liao and party members, and start a war against Liao! ”

Renzong's face changed, Lu Yijian's idea was very good, but at this time, the Song Dynasty had no food to support a large-scale battle, and Renzong really wanted to fight against the Liao State, but now he would fight with those Liao people who had just defected to the Song Dynasty? This Renzong really didn't dare.

Pang Ji also doubted that Lu Yijian was old and confused.

Lu Yijian didn't seem to notice their faces, and continued: "The old minister knows that the Great Song Dynasty is in difficulty now, but the Great Song Dynasty will always have difficulties of one kind or another. Just like a person's family affairs, family affairs cannot be dealt with, and you cannot stay at home forever just because the family affairs are not completed. Long live, Lao Chen thought that the party was no longer a concern, but Liaoguo, once he pacified the war, with the alleviation of the food crisis in the Great Song Dynasty, he would inevitably be able to get out, and he couldn't give them a chance to breathe, absolutely not! ”

Renzong and Pang Ji glanced at each other, and finally said, "What Xiangguo said, I remember. I also want to say to Xiangguo, you will have a good life and recuperation at home in the future, don't worry about so many things. Wait until Xiangguo's body recovers, and then come to share my worries. ”

The corners of Lu Yijian's mouth moved twice, and he knew that he hadn't convinced Renzong in the end.

He did have a lot of selfishness in this proposal, he understood that the Great Song Dynasty was unable to support military rations now, but weren't the Khitans the same? He wanted to convince Renzong to give it a try.

Unable to convince Renzong, he sighed deeply, and the sigh was full of disappointment. Every Song person hopes that he can see the destruction of the Liao State with his own eyes, and Lu Yijian is the same!

If it was the same as before, he would have waited. But now, he doesn't know if he still has a chance to see the Liao Kingdom perish!

It is Lu Yijian's wish to destroy Liao, and his other wish is to bring down Lao Pang! He can't do this anymore, can Chen Shimei let him see it while he is alive?

The corner of Lu Yijian's eyes swept over Pang Ji, revealing a smile: "How is Taishi's health lately?" ”

Pang Ji clenched his fists: "There is Lao Xiangguo's concern, and the old body is quite strong." ”

Lu Yijian coughed, this time with a violent, irrepressible cough. His face became more and more red, and his granddaughter hurriedly ran up from the side, looked at Lu Yijian, and then said to Renzong: "Long live, my grandfather should take medicine, he will be sleepy after taking that medicine, please be considerate." ”

Renzong and Pang Ji knew that this was the eviction order, and Lu Yijian couldn't say anything to them anymore, so the two of them said a few more kind words and left.

Coming out of Lu Yijian's mansion, Renzong determined one thing, that is, Lu Yijian couldn't get better. In the position of Xiangguo, there must be someone to sit, who is suitable?

Pang Ji stepped forward and said, "Long live, there are too many homeless people on the street, the minister will hire a carriage and let us go back?" ”

Renzong thought for a moment: "Let's not go back first, let's go to Chen Shimei's place and see what he is up to." ”
