Chapter Ninety-Four: Departure

Lian Huilu really began to release grain free of charge in Quzhou to relieve the victims, just as the wrong monk said, the families who bought grain at a high price before all approached the government to ask for the first payment, and the money that Lian Huilu earned from the victims came from where to go back. Only Huo Chengren knew that the return route of the grain in front of him was fake, and the real person had been imprisoned in Foguang Temple. But Huo Chengren didn't dare to tell the truth, he was afraid that the Shang Fang sword would cut off his head at any time.

By the time Lian Hui Lu was released from Foguang Temple, the flood had receded and the disaster had subsided. When I came to Quzhou from Hangzhou, because of the big water, I could directly take a warship to arrive, but when I went back, the warship could only go along the waterway, go around the big circle and return to the location of the sailor, and even the return road was through Guò land, and return to Hangzhou from the location of the sailor.

missed this opportunity to make a fortune, and even the way back was as distressed as being ripped off the flesh, but fortunately, he was not discouraged when he picked up his life, he pondered: As long as he returned to Qian Hongzuo, the opportunity to make a fortune in the future would appear again.

After returning to Hangzhou, even on the way back, I heard that Qian Hongzuo was tired from his body because he was working tirelessly to direct the rescue when he was rushing to repair the embankment, and then he was busy with disaster relief so that he delayed treatment, and when the disaster passed, Qian Hongzuo fell ill and was recuperating. No one is allowed to be summoned, and no one is allowed to see him. Lian Huilu handed over the excerpt asking to see, but waited for many days before it was passed into Qian Hongzuo's bedroom.

In the dormitory, the curtain hung low, and Qian Hongzuo lay quietly on the bed.

Even when he returned from afar, he ran over crying loudly and cried, "Holy Lord, what's wrong with you? Wechen was worried to death. Lifting the curtain of Qian Hongzuo's bed, he suddenly saw Qian Hongzuo's face like ashes, and he was startled even on the way back, but forgot to pretend to cry bitterly and froze on the ground.

Qian Hongzuo said to Wu Dezhang, the waiter who took care of him by his side: "You take the waiters to wait outside, the lonely king has something to say, and he has to say it to Lian Aiqing alone." ”

Wu Dezhang led the attendants to retreat.

Qian Hongzuo looked at Lian Huilu and asked, "Why do you dare to come back?" ”

Lian Huilu was shocked and said: "I, after I gave disaster relief, I rushed back immediately." But the road was not smooth, and it was delayed for some time. ”

Qian Hongzuo smiled bitterly: "After your disaster relief? After you sell your grain. ”

Lian Hui Lu was even more surprised, and asked, "Holy Lord, you even know this?" ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "The secret fold of impeaching you has already been received when I was still in the rescue." If his subordinates behaved like this, it would be difficult for King Gu to detect it, and Wu Yueguo would have been full of corrupt officials. ”

Lian Huilu was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, he didn't know what channel Qian Hongzuo was through, and he knew about it. But if Qian Hongzuo is so shrewd, even if he is greedy for money, where can he escape? He thought eagerly: how to impress Qian Hongzuo so that he would not punish himself.

Qian Hongzuo asked: "Later, why didn't you continue to sell grain, but really got disaster relief?" ”

Lian Hui Lu covered up: "Weichen was greedy for a while, but when he saw the tragic situation of the victims, he really had a disturbed conscience, so he ...... it." After all, his heart was weak, and he didn't even continue to talk about the way back.

At this time, the breeze floated, and the light veil that was originally covered on Xie Xiangcun's portrait was blown up, revealing that face full of joy, Qian Hongzuo looked at it stupidly, and whispered with a sigh: "After all, you and he are brothers, and your heart will not be bad." ”

Even Hui Lu turned his head to look at Xie Xiangcun's portrait, and said suspiciously: "Holy Lord, you are sick, I am not brothers with him." ”

Qian Hongzuo said emotionally: "When Xie Aiqing was a child, he fled from the Central Plains to Wu Yueguo. His parents had no way to beg, so they wanted to sell his young brother to the royal family's imitation pear villa, exchange some silver taels, and continue to rush to relatives. But his younger brother was crying, Xie Aiqing couldn't bear it, and asked his father and mother to sell him into the imitation pear villa, and continued to hurry with his younger brother. Later, the family was separated. ”

Lian Huilu shook his head in disbelief and said, "I am from Shaoxing, not from the Central Plains." ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you still have a sense of compassion." The sea of suffering is boundless, compassion is a ship, and disasters are saved by compassion. ”

Lian Huilu bowed his head in shame.

Qian Hongzuo said: "My body is not good, I am afraid that I will die soon." If you stay in Hangzhou, sooner or later you will be impeached and imprisoned. This is the silver tael I have prepared for you, take it with you, and get out of here. On the table over there is my edict of pardon you. Qian Hongzuo laboriously took out a brocade bag under the pillow and handed it to Lian Huilu.

When Lian Huilu opened it to look, he saw that it was full of gold leaves. Suddenly, Lian Hui Lu burst into tears and said sincerely: "Holy Lord, you are now sick like this, and you still think about me like this, Weichen is grateful. You have been taking care of me for the past few years, and now that you are sick, let me take care of you and your body will recover. ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "While you can still go, let's go." I'm not kind to you, but I don't have anything to do with it. Qian Hongzuo gently stroked Lian Huilu's face and said, "Thank you for accompanying the Lonely King for so many years." ”

Even the way back leaned over and bowed, and he couldn't cry anymore.

After Lian returned, Qian Hongzuo's illness became more and more serious, and Qian Hongzuo was designated to inherit the throne after himself, Qian Hongzuo was the second son of Queen Ma, and the eldest son Qian Hongzuo was assassinated by Dai Yun when he was still the son. After all kinds of changes, Queen Ma was buried with the first king, and Qian Hongliang was the actual first king's descendant.

At this time, Qian Hongzuo already had two concubines, Du and Yang, and had a prince Qian Yu. After the decree was issued, Qian Hongzuo summoned the two concubines and the prince Qian Yu, and after the two concubines greeted their illness, Qian Hongzuo asked Concubine Du: "The lonely king is determined to pass the throne to Hongliang, love the concubine, do you blame the lonely king for not passing the throne to his parents?" ”

Concubine Du was really dissatisfied in her heart, because there was a precedent for Empress Dowager Xu to supervise the country, and Concubine Du also wanted to follow suit. But she didn't dare to say it explicitly, and said bluntly: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

Qian Hongzuo stroked the head of the prince Qian Yu, who was only two or three years old, and said: "Good boy, my father became the lord of the country at the age of fourteen, I was so excited and happy at that time." But you are too young now, if your father passes on the throne to you, it will not only harm you, your mother and concubine, but also Wu Yueguo. The dangers and crises are not something you can cope with and bear, and my father can't bear to let you suffer the pain again. ”

Qian Yu looked at Qian Hongzuo as if he didn't understand. Qian Hongzuo smiled at him, Qian Yu was young, and when he saw his father smiling, he also smiled.

Qian Hongzuo said to the two concubines: "The lonely king has worked hard all his life, and he rarely accompanies the two concubines, and the lonely king is sorry for you." Speaking of which, King Gu is even more sorry for his mother, and he is also sorry for Lord Zhen and Xie Aiqing, but King Gu is worthy of the people of Wu Yueguo, because King Gu did his best. ”

Soon, Qian Hongzuo died sadly at the age of 22. During the reign of Qian Hongzuo, he put down the rebellion in the interior, went to the frontier in the outer towns, reduced taxes several times, vigorously supported agriculture, silk weaving, pottery and other industries, and the people lived a prosperous life, and kept the peace of one side in the chaos of five dynasties and ten countries.
