Chapter 265: Banquet
Yuwen Jinghuai was not polite, and then went to the arranged place of residence surrounded by Lord Yang and others.
Shangguan Yan saw that Yuwen Jinghuai really left like this, a little anxious, took Chu Yue'an's hand and asked, "King Chu really left with them, won't he be the same as them?" I have known the King of Chu for more than ten years, and although he had a lot of affairs before, he was still a pure person in the end, and he didn't look forward to not having problems in the big right and wrong. ”
Chu Yue'an smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, King Chu must have his plans, let's wait to watch the show." ”
Let's say that Yuwen Jinghuai went to live in the mansion arranged by Lord Yang, and the maids who served were all beautiful maids, and there was also a singing and dancing wind music team prepared, just waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to serve comfortably.
"Although it's a little simpler than in the capital, it's still eye-catching." Yuwen Jinghuai said lightly, "You also have a heart." ”
"It's good if the prince likes it." Lord Yang said, "The prince has a good rest first, and the lower officials still have official business, so they will retire first." ”
"By the way, you still have to deal with the floods, you go and do your job." After a pause, Yuwen Jinghuai frowned, "Wait a minute." ”
"What else does the prince command?" Lord Yang asked.
"That's what it looks like." Yuwen Jinghuai said, "This king lives here alone, and he feels lonely. As for the king, if you decide to hold a banquet here, you will give the king a list of people, and invite all the people who are qualified to participate in the banquet of the king, and they must be local officials, rich gentry, and people of prestige. In addition, the king did not bring people with him, so this banquet will be handed over to you to manage, take care of it, don't lose the pomp of the king. ”
Lord Yang looked at the King of Chu coming to this hand, could it be that he wanted to scrape some oil and water from these people? Whether it's good or not, there is no way for the big guys to give gifts to the King of Chu on weekdays, and there is this good opportunity, the big guys still have to think about the law?
Lord Yang didn't dare to neglect the banquet of the King of Chu, and hurriedly arranged for people to prepare.
Market.
Several officials who had previously been sentenced to behead for dereliction of duty and corruption were now kneeling with all sorts of flowers, surrounded by onlookers and victims. These people don't know how many people have been killed, and now that they have become prisoners, they naturally provoke the anger of the people, and the people have no way to vent, so they have to pick up the stones on the ground and throw them over.
Shangguan Xun personally supervised the beheading, he looked at the people around him, and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, this incident has been flooded by the Yellow River, destroying many fields and houses, displacing many people, and killing countless people. Although this is a natural disaster, but the matter has reached this point and there are few man-made disasters, and the following people are the culprits, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people! The time has come, and the decision is made! ”
As his words fell, the executioner raised his sharp broadsword and fell with his sword, and in an instant, several heads fell to the ground together.
"Lord Qingtian!" The onlookers saw that this time it was serious, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly, "Finally, there is a master who can make decisions for us!" ”
"Hurry up, everyone!" Shangguan Xun looked at everyone and said loudly, "The imperial court has not forgotten you, and the food for disaster relief is also on the way, so you will soon be able to have enough to eat!" It's just that during this period, we have to deal with this flood well, so that more people can't be affected, and you also want to rebuild your hometown faster, right? It's just that I can't deal with this flood alone, and I have to help the big guys! ”
"My lord, you just have to command, I don't have anything else, I still have the strength, as long as the adult commands, the grass people are willing to do anything!" One of them stood up and shouted with real arms.
"Me too, but by your lordship's orders!"
"Me too!"
Previously, everyone did not trust the ability and character of officials, and they were not very willing to actively participate in disaster relief.
Shangguan Xun was also moved when he looked at everyone, and continued to say loudly: "What is the big guy good at, come to the master to register here, and after the disaster relief is over, the court will reward you!" ”
The people flocked to the master and lined up to register.
"Everyone, stay safe, line up!" Shangguan Xun shouted, but he also noticed that the number of officials today seemed to be a lot less.
There was a lot of manpower, and a lot of food was carried into the mansion, so these things naturally couldn't be hidden from Shangguan Xun's ears, so he immediately called Lord Yang over and asked.
"Now is the most critical time, but what kind of banquet are you sending people to prepare, Lord Yang, what do you want to do?" Shangguan Xun scolded coldly.
"This is the order of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness wants to hold a banquet, and the lower officials can only do it." Lord Yang pretended to be helpless, "The lower officials dare not disobey the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if your lord thinks that this banquet is unnecessary, you can go and tell the King of Chu in person." ”
"What does King Chu want to do?" Shangguan Xun frowned, and then went to find Yuwen Jinghuai.
Lord Yang is happy to see it, and he wants to use the hand of the King of Chu to kill the majesty of this Shangguan!
I only saw Yuwen Jinghuai lying on the Taishi chair, the two maids on the left and right were fanning the wind, and there were two maids squatting on both sides, one feeding him grapes, and the other raising his hand to catch the seeds he spit out.
"Your Highness enjoys it." Shangguan Xun said sarcastically, "Could it be that the happy days in the capital are not happy, so you have to come here to enjoy it?" ”
Yuwen Jinghuai raised his eyes and glanced at Shangguan Xun, and said to the left and right: "Beauties, you go down first, this king and Lord Shangguan have a few words." ”
"Yes." The four girls went out.
Shangguan Xun said with some anger and helplessness: "Your Highness knows that there is a shortage of food at the moment, why do you still hold a banquet in a big way?" Do you know how many people can survive with all this food for your banquet? ”
Yuwen Jinghuai held a bunch of grapes, held one in his mouth, and said with a shallow smile while eating: "You are angry with your little family, the so-called reluctant children can't trap wolves, this king is trying to find a way to solve the shortage of seven or eight days." ”
"How is Your Highness going to solve it?" Shangguan Xun asked.
"Borrow." Yuwen Jinghuai laughed, "If you don't spend some money, how can all the creditors of this king come tonight?" ”
"What does Your Highness mean?" Shangguan Xun smiled knowingly, "It turns out that His Highness is planning to do this. ”
"You came just in time, you will cooperate with this king in the evening, let's just sing this play." By the way, didn't you do a big thing today, just add a dish to them in the evening. Yuwen Jinghuai smiled, "Call Brother Li here as well and enjoy the acting skills of this king." ”
Shangguan Xun raised his eyes and glanced at Yuwen Jinghuai when he heard the words, and his eyes changed slightly.
Soon after, the news that reached Lord Yang's ears was that after the King of Chu and Lord Shangguan quarreled, Lord Shangguan was reprimanded by King Chu, and finally left in a huff, which made Lord Yang very satisfied.
Inside the inn.
Chu Yue'an and Shangguan Yan were not idle, and after the medicinal materials were returned, Chu Yue'an came up with several recipes and asked him to boil a large pot of medicine.
In addition, people were sent to publicize that they could see a doctor for free here, and those who were suffering from the disease naturally came one after another.
"Don't crowd everyone, line up, everyone will have their turn!" Shangguan Yan maintained order, "You are a big boy, occupy the position of an aunt, are you embarrassed?" Line up in the back! ”
While maintaining order, Shangguan Yan also had to supervise the situation of a few Xiao Er decoctions in the inn, in case they were lazy and boiled the medicinal materials, how precious the medicinal materials are now, they can't be wasted.
Chu Yue'an was to see the victims: "Your wind and cold have entered the internal organs, so you will keep coughing, go and get the No. 2 medicine, you have to take this medicine twice a day, for seven days in a row, so you have to get the medicine yourself every day." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" The eldest lady held Chu Yue'an with her blackened hand, and sincerely thanked, "You are such a good person, young man, you will be blessed." ”
Chu Yue'an didn't dislike it, and said with a slight smile: "I'm just doing what I'm good at, it's okay." Auntie, you take it and line up to get the medicine first, the next one. ”
A middle-aged man came, looking at the clothes that did not look like the victims, after Chu Yue'an checked his pulse, he said lightly: "You are in the wrong place, this is a place for free medical treatment for the victims, not like the place where you are greedy and cheap." ”
"What do you mean, I'm a disaster victim, you can't heal, right?" The man said in a bad tone.
"Look at these victims, they are all so hungry that their chests are close to their backs, but unlike you, you eat too much and have digestive problems." Chu Yue'an said coldly, "If you don't leave by yourself, then I will throw you out." ”
"Stinky boy, what kind of thing are you, look at how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" The man was annoyed and angry, and pounced towards Chu Yue'an.
Before Chu Yue'an could move, he saw him ask someone to lift him up from behind.
"Just let him go, don't add to the trouble." Chu Yue'an said lightly.
Suifeng threw the man out and said coldly, "If I were to see you again, it wouldn't be as simple as it is today." ”
Chu Yue'an raised her eyes and asked, "Why are you here?" What about your master? ”
"Your Highness can't rest assured that Li Gongzi will let his subordinates come to protect Li Gongzi." Sui Feng smiled and said, "By the way, in the evening, the prince will hold a banquet and invite Li Gongzi and Miss Shangguan to go together!" ”
"Banquet?" Shangguan Yan, who was invited, was confused, "What does King Chu want to do?" Why do you have a banquet? ”
Chu Yue'an didn't figure out what he wanted to do, he thought for a while and said, "Since he is holding this banquet, there must be his reasons, let's go and see what medicine he bought in his gourd." ”
Shangguan Yan glanced at the people who were queuing up to see a doctor, a street far away, as if there was no end in sight, and frowned: "We have time there, look at the people who want to see a doctor." ”
