Chapter 266: One Singing and One Harmony
At this moment, I saw several men dressed in Sven clothes walking over, and one of them hugged his fists and said, "Master Li, Miss Shangguan, we are local doctors, and we have been called by Lord Shangguan to assist you in treating the victims of the disaster. ”
"Great!" Shangguan Yan stroked his palms and smiled, "You guys came just in time!" We're short of manpower, I'll arrange it! ”
Shangguan Xun immediately arranged the positions of several doctors, and divided the queued soldiers into several teams, and Chu Yue'an's pressure was reduced a lot.
"In this way, I have time to go to the banquet of the King of Chu." Chu Yue'an smiled slightly, "Suifeng, you go back and tell King Chu that we will attend on time." ”
"Yes."
Inside the government.
Lord Yang waited in front of the saddle and behind the horse beside Yuwen Jinghuai, bent down and asked flatteringly, "What does Your Highness think?" Are you satisfied? ”
"So-so can be eye-catching." Yuwen Jinghuai said lightly, "It's almost time, let them enter." ”
"Yes." Lord Yang waved his hand, and then the gate was opened, and the officials and wealthy families who had been waiting outside the door immediately entered to greet the King of Chu.
Yuwen Jinghuai waved his hand to everyone: "Don't be polite, go and sit down, this king has just come here, and he wants to meet more friends, if you can come, it is to give me Yuwen Jinghuai face!" ”
"How dare you!" An older official patted his ass, "Being able to participate in the banquet of the King of Chu is a blessing for the three lives of the lower officials!" A few days ago, Xiaguan accidentally got a strange thing, thinking that this strange thing should know that His Royal Highness was coming to Qinghe County, so he deliberately appeared in Xiaguan's home, and Xiaguan also deliberately brought things to the prince today. ”
"Oh?" Yuwen Jinghuai became interested, "What is so strange, you can take it out and let this king open his eyes?" ”
As he spoke, the white-bearded official clapped his hands, and his subordinates came over in a birdcage, which contained a white thrush bird, and the official smiled: "The thrush has a loud voice, like a melodious turn, and this white thrush is even more difficult to find, but that day this bird flew to the house of the lower official, didn't it sense that His Highness was about to come here?" ”
As he spoke, the thrush chirped in agreement.
Yuwen Jinghuai stroked his palms and smiled: "It's good, since the song of this bird is better than the voice of this king's singer, it is a rare thing!" You have a heart, what do you call this adult? ”
"Xiaguan's surname is Chen, Chen Yaozu." The whitebearded official hurriedly reported himself.
"Lord Chen." Yuwen Jinghuai smiled slightly, "This king remembers you." ”
After Lord Chen made this start, the people who gave the gifts were impatient to give the gifts they had carefully prepared to the King of Chu.
"Your Royal Highness, Xiaguan accidentally got an inkstone, after grinding, the fragrance is fragrant, Xiaguan is a layman, I think only such an outstanding figure as the prince can be worthy of this inkstone, this is a little bit of the official's heart, I hope the prince will not dislike it."
"Lord Wang, the grass people used to go to the plateau in the west one day and bought a thousand-year-old snow lotus from the locals, this snow lotus is a big supplement, so it was brought to the prince and used to make up for the prince."
Yuwen Jinghuai was surrounded by everyone and enjoyed everyone's sycophants very much.
Some people tried their best to pat on the back, and naturally there were people who couldn't see it, so one of them got up and sneered: "Your Highness, now that all the people outside are victims of the disaster, but you are holding a feast here, you are the prince of the heavenly family, don't you have the people in your heart at all?" Can you really eat these dishes? ”
Yuwen Jinghuai's face turned cold, and he stared at the upright bearded official and asked, "Who are you like this?" ”
The bearded man hugged his fists and said: "Xiaguan Liu Hong, now is the critical time to control the water, please forgive me for having official business, and I will leave first!" ”
Saying that, Liu Hong was about to get up and leave, and just after walking a few steps, he saw Shangguan Xun coming over, and he smiled at Liu Hong: "Lord Liu, don't be impatient, you sit down first." ”
Liu Hong didn't expect that Lord Shangguan would come to join in the fun, but since Lord Shangguan had spoken, he still sat down.
Shangguan Xun glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone is very lively." ”
When everyone saw him coming, their faces were not very good, and they didn't dare to continue to shoot Yuwen Jinghuai's sycophants.
Yuwen Jinghuai sat on the chair, squinted at Shangguan Xun, and asked with a smile: "Brother Shangguan also came to have fun with this king?" ”
"Does Your Highness know how many victims are still hungry outside?" Shangguan Xun asked, "Your Highness is having fun here, I don't know if you have any guilt in your heart?" ”
"If you are not happy to have fun with this king, you will go to the disaster relief yourself, why bother here to sweep the king's prosperity?" Yuwen Jinghuai said helplessly, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”
Shangguan Xun smiled lightly: "At present, the food in the granary is only enough for the victims for two days, and the disaster relief food in the court will take six or seven days to arrive. ”
Lord Yang said: "Lord Shangguan, this is an official business that is inconvenient to discuss here, since the prince has such a Yaxing, Lord Shangguan is too embarrassed to talk about these things here, right?" ”
Yuwen Jinghuai waved his hand and smiled lightly: "What Lord Shangguan said is just a trivial matter, there are so many of us here, and everyone can borrow a little food from their families, so they can plug the gap in the past few days, right?" It shouldn't be a problem! ”
Lord Yang hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness doesn't know, since the disaster, the lower officials have summoned them to donate all the remaining food in their homes, and now I am afraid that there will be no surplus in everyone's family." ”
"That's right." Yuwen Jinghuai blinked a little embarrassed, "Lord Shangguan, you see that they don't have food at home, what should I do in this situation?" ”
"As an official, you should advance and retreat together with the people." Shangguan Xun said lightly, "If there are more people starving to death in the past few days, then you should also judge yourself and the present, so as to be worthy of the trust of Your Majesty and the people." ”
"Self-cut!" When everyone heard this, they panicked.
"Lord Shangguan, what do you mean by this, you are threatening us?" Lord Yang said in a cold voice, "When something like this happens, each of us is already anxious, but this is a natural disaster after all, even if we don't eat or drink, there is no way to do it, even if we want to be held accountable, then there is also His Majesty's Holy Judgment, Lord Shangguan can't say that if we die, we will die!" ”
"Since Your Majesty has given me this gold medal, then I have the right to decide your life and death." Shangguan Xun said coldly, "If Your Majesty wants to pursue me in the future, I am not afraid of death." ”
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" Yuwen Jinghuai hurriedly said, "It's good, how did you get to the point where everyone has to die, I don't think it's so serious, right?" Think about how you can reduce the starvation of people as little as possible! Is there really no margin in your house? Don't think about it anymore? ”
After Yuwen Jinghuai finished speaking, he sat down, and Lord Yang and Shangguan Xun were still confronting each other.
At this time, Shangguan Xun smiled and said, "Since you have no food at home, this meal must not be enough, so let me add a few dishes to you." ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and several officials came over with several large plates, which were covered with lids.
Then Shangguan Seeker opened the lid, and there was a bloody human head on each plate.
"You won't be unfamiliar with these." Shangguan Xun said lightly, "A few days ago, I was still your colleagues, and today this official personally supervised the beheading, and they have already paid the price for their actions. ”
As he spoke, the official sent the heads to each table, and the faces of the people around him changed, and some of them almost vomited.
Lord Yang's face turned pale: "Lord Shangguan, what do you want to do?" ”
"I've made it clear what I want to do." Shangguan Xun said coldly.
Yuwen Jinghuai sighed: "It doesn't have to be like this, everyone, if you still have surplus food in your hands, you can lend it, otherwise our Lord Shangguan will be red-eyed, but no matter what is three, seven and twenty-one, even if it is to buy your life with food, this king is here to make your decision, as long as you can make the disaster people live, Lord Shangguan doesn't care about you, if there are too many people outside, Lord Shangguan loses his mind, even this king does not dare to guarantee that something will happen." ”
Shangguan Xun and Yuwen Jinghuai are singing and harmonizing, and there are already cowardly people who can't bear it.
At this time, Shangguan Xun was about to add another fire, looked at the thrush and said, "What a beautiful thrush, Lord Chen, this is what you gave to the prince, right?" ”
Lord Chen didn't expect that he was suddenly named, his back was cold, and he hugged his fists and said, "It was given to the prince by the lower official." ”
"I heard that you snatched this thrush from a scholar, right? For this reason, you wronged the scholar for insulting a woman, and locked the scholar up, and the scholar's mother wanted to seek justice for her son, but you beat her to death in the name of disturbing the court. Shangguan Xun sneered and asked, "Is what this official said wrong?" ”
Lord Chen's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down: "There is nothing to do, wronged, wronged!" ”
"Lord Chen, if people don't know, they can't do anything unless they do." Shangguan Xun said coldly, "Come on, take it down and wait for trial!" ”
"There is still surplus grain in the Xiaguan Mansion, and the Xiaguan is willing to donate all the surplus food, begging the Lord to give the Xiaguan a life!" Lord Chen knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Shangguan Xun's eyes turned to the few officials who had just given the gifts, and these people were also cold, and hurriedly clenched their fists and said: "It seems that there is some surplus food in the Xiaguan Mansion, and the Xiaguan is willing to donate it!" ”
These people relented, and the others naturally did not dare to take a tough attitude, and then everyone was busy saying that they still had surplus food at home and were willing to donate it to help the victims survive.
Yuwen Jinghuai glanced at Lord Yang with a smile: "This situation doesn't seem to be the same as what you just said." ”
Lord Yang wiped a cold sweat, and only then did he realize that he seemed to have been put together by the King of Chu and Shangguan Xun, and hurriedly said: "The prince forgives the sin, and the lower officials don't know that these people don't know that they are so ignorant of the overall situation, and the lower officials thought that they had already donated the food at home!" ”
"It's okay, it's the same if you donate it now." Yuwen Jinghuai said lightly, "Then please ask Lord Yang to personally bring people to collect the food donated by your lords, and make sure to make up enough rations for these victims for the past six days." ”
"Yes, the subordinate officials must do their best." Lord Yang swallowed and said.
"Okay, this matter is perfectly resolved, don't shout and kill, it's scary!" Yuwen Jinghuai said with a smile, "I think you can't eat it anymore, give these meals to the victims, don't waste it!" As for you, don't be stunned, hurry back and take stock of the food in your own home, and this king will not send it. ”
With that, Yuwen Jinghuai got up and entered the house.
Everyone glanced at each other, and now it was difficult to ride a tiger, so they had to go home to donate the food at home, Shangguan Xun glanced at the background of Yuwen Jinghuai, smiled admiringly, and said to Lord Yang: "This grain matter is Lord Lao Yang, before dark tomorrow, just pile the collected grain in the granary, and the official has other things, so he will leave first." ”
Shangguan Xun also left, and several other adults came up and asked, "Lord Yang, what should I do now?" ”
"We were whitened by the King of Chu and Lord Shangguan, and there is no way now, you take out all the excess food in the house, make up enough for these few days, and wait for Lord Sun to come here." Lord Yang's eyes narrowed and said.
All the people who were making a commotion outside came, and Yuwen Jing Huaizhi came to the house proudly, and Shangguan Yan and Chu Yue'an were drinking tea inside.
"How?" Yuwen Jinghuai asked with a smile, "This king said that he could receive food, so he didn't break his promise." ”
Shangguan Yan gave a thumbs up to Yuwen Jinghuai: "Your Highness impressed me, I didn't expect Your Highness to hide this hand, admire!" ”
Yuwen Jinghuai looked at Chu Yue'an again, with a look of begging for praise.
Chu Yue'an smiled slightly: "Your Highness has done a good job, I thank Your Highness for the victims outside." ”
"That's it?" Yuwen Jinghuai was a little disappointed, "Can't you praise this king more?" ”
Shangguan Yan hurriedly pulled Chu Yue'an and was about to leave: "Your Highness, we have seen His Highness's methods today, there are still many sick victims outside waiting for Brother Li to treat them, we have to go first." ”
"There's no hurry." Yuwen Jinghuai smiled faintly, "It's almost dark this day, you don't want to eat much when you think about it, don't be in a hurry to eat something." You probably have to be busy for a long time, it's good that you care about the victims, but you also have to take care of yourself, otherwise this king will be distressed. ”
Chu Yue'an smiled lightly: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, we will take care of ourselves, but we won't eat the meal, we can eat steamed buns on the way back, Brother Yan, let's go." ”
"Okay!"
