Chapter 159: Disaster Relief
Su Xuan stayed in General Su's study for an hour and a half before he came out, no one knew what General Su said to him, no one knew.
I wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were many girls in the capital, and take the opportunity to make Liuxian Pavilion more famous, and by the way, I would build a small head. It turned out to be good, but now it's fishy. Not to mention the decline in business, he was also pointed at by the people passing by.
This pile of things came down one after another, and my heart was manic. King Yu also encountered some things on his side, and his face was also targeted. There is always a premonition that the capital is going to change.
However, on the third day, Master Zhao and Su Xuan both left the capital in the name of discussing business, and the county order of Lin'an City did not make a big deal about it, and also followed Su Xuan's hind feet to leave Lin'an City in a low-key manner, and someone secretly escorted them along the way, but nothing happened.
The assassins invited by Master Zhao and Su Xuan with a lot of money failed to leave a single living mouth, thinking that there were many masters around the county commander, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
In other words, I can't move for the time being.
Song Mengtong and Su Yiling would go to Mrs. Su on time every morning to say goodbye, saying that she was also very interested in Buddhist scriptures. Mrs. Su was happy and mentioned her a few words.
Mrs. Song also wanted to go back to the Taishi Mansion to visit relatives, but unfortunately she was closed to the door and almost fainted at the gate of the Taishi Mansion. The pale-faced, slender lady cried so much that Pear Blossom and Rain refused to leave, which caused the onlookers to feel pity.
When he returned to General Su's mansion, he actually talked to Li Qinse about his pain, just because Li Qinse was also treated coldly by the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he couldn't go back to his parents' house for the New Year on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Su Xiangsi was accompanied by the sound of sobbing in her ears, and she was drowsy and wanted to roll her eyes. I cried for a long time without shedding a single tear, and I didn't get to the point when I was dry.
Compared with Su Xiangsi, Song Mengtong and Su Qing got closer. I only came to the capital in five days, and I visited the most lively shops and scenery.
I almost didn't know all the nobles in the capital.
Hearing that Su Qing sent some things to the mother and daughter in Changchun Courtyard, Su Xiangsi could only send some things to the house according to the rules.
Every thing in Tingzhuin is more precious than the other two.
When Su Xiangsi received the news of the flood in Qingcheng, Li Yuwen had already finalized the decision to let Su Mian and Su Mingjin take the materials and silver to rectify the disaster.
In winter, snow storms freeze grain and poultry, and in summer, there are floods and droughts. Every year, many villages and people are struggling to make a living because of the severity of the disaster.
At this time, it depends on how the emperor, who is admired by tens of thousands of people, should solve these disasters and stabilize the people's hearts.
There are unpredictable dangers in going to disaster relief areas, and many soldiers are involved in disaster relief every year. Such a dangerous place can kill at any time, but such a heavy task is also the most desired errand among the hundred officials of the imperial court.
In addition to leading troops to fight, going to disaster relief is a major meritorious event, rewarded, and promoted. Every year, when there is a disaster, there will be a lot of noise in the court, and no one will accept the candidates recommended by the other party.
This year's flood came very suddenly and early, and there has never been any disaster in Heqingcheng. King Yu and King Ming were planning to recommend their own people on the morning of the second day.
Before everyone could react, the emperor had already handed over this important task to General Su Miansu.
This decision is a bit intriguing, the emperor is the son of the world, the people trust and revere the people the most, and the people's hearts are the country. The position of the Son of Heaven is also the most tempting, and everyone wants to sit in that position and enjoy the supreme right.
The most taboo thing for every emperor is that the officials and ministers are more popular than themselves, and they will suppress and contain the rights of the officials and ministers from all sides. Or let the rights of two people be balanced, never taking sides.
After General Su's Mansion came back from the border, it was understandable that he was rewarded, and everyone also found some abnormalities.
When the emperor was discussing the court, he occasionally liked to listen to the opinions of General Su, and even gave some privileges, but did not take back the talismans.
This time, he was directly appointed to deal with such a major matter alone, and in the past, two or three officials were required to go together. This time it was handled perfectly, so all the merits were taken up by Su Mian's father and son.
The people already admired General Su, and this time he made meritorious contributions. Then overshadow the emperor.
But there is a kind of implication that the emperor deliberately did this. The emperor's mind really can't be guessed randomly.
Su Xiangsi muttered in her heart, why did Li Yuwen suddenly make such a big decision, and hurriedly stepped out of the door to see his loved ones hurrying back from outside.
"Si'er, you've received the news too. The emperor's order had to be followed. Su Mian could only be helpless, and he was also very reluctant to see his daughter's worried eyes.
But the emperor was ordered, and the people in the disaster also needed him to stabilize the situation immediately, knowing that his daughter's worries were helpless.
Su Xiangsi nodded without hesitation and said, "My daughter understands, my mother and I went to pack up for my brother and father." As he spoke, he kept up with everyone's footsteps, and did not forget to tell Rosin and catkins to prepare more ointments and basic antidote pills.
Although this time I went to suppress the disaster, I also wanted to prevent the villain from doing evil. It is so far away from the capital, and it will be impossible to prevent someone from doing it secretly. In addition, it was the first time that Qingcheng had a flood, and after the summer, the torrential rain continued, first drowning a lot of crops, until now the houses have been washed away. People have been displaced.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole house knew that General Su, the third lady, and the third young master were going to set off to make meritorious contributions to the disaster, which was extremely dangerous. The owners of each house went to the outside of the house to see off the three rooms.
Li Qinse's eyes were full of guilt and reluctance, and he didn't know how serious it was in Qingcheng, and he didn't know how long it would take to come back.
Hold Su Xiangsi's hand reluctantly: "Our family can only ask for our daughter." ”
"You guys are in Qingcheng, don't get hurt, it's a great favor for me." Su Xiangsi grabbed Li Qinse's arm, and she could only give up.
She didn't blame Li Yuwen for making a decision so quickly, the one he trusted most in the court was his father.
Glancing at Su Mingjin, who was wearing armor next to him, he said very seriously: "Don't ask the people over there, you go completely, and you are not allowed to be injured when you come back." ”
"Don't worry, I haven't seen any wind and waves. You are in the house and be careful. Don't go with the girls. "Su Mingjin is still a high-spirited young man in the end.
Since returning from the border, he has been idle and has nothing to do, and now that there is something in front of him, how can he sit still. Su Mian and his wife wanted him to stay in the capital, but they reacted violently.
"It wasn't so bad when I left Heqingcheng, and a catastrophe destroyed the place where I grew up. My heart really hurts. There is General Su who believes that it will be pacified soon. ”
The family of four is quite touching and warm, and Song Mengtong, who is not long-eyed, interjected and came in. He saluted in front of Li Qinse and Su Mingjin, with tears in his eyes.
"Being in a high position, for the sake of the people's well-being, this is what should be done."
Li Qinse answered the words lukewarmly, and did not say any more. And Su Mingjin just turned over and got on the horse with a light hum. Song Mengtong didn't feel embarrassed, but chatted with Su Xiangsi cordially about the heroic demeanor of the general.
General Su told Su Mian on the side to pay attention to the small details in disaster relief, this time the old General Su did not go, and it was the first time for Su Mian to deal with such a thing, and he was really uneasy.
When the time came, after bidding farewell to the people who saw him off, he neatly turned on his horse, raised his whip and left General Su's mansion.
The main entrance was full of people, and everyone had mixed tastes in their hearts. This kind of good thing can only fall on the head of the third room. After returning from the disaster, Sanfang's status in the emperor's heart became even heavier.
No matter how hard the other two rooms are, they can't catch up with the three rooms.
Su Xiangsi looked at the distant backs of the three of them and didn't come back to her senses for a long time, her heart was very uncomfortable, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
"Obediently, let's have dinner with my grandfather tonight." General Su's generous palm stroked Su Xiangsi's smooth hair, and his tone was distressed. The most well-behaved and forbearant person in the house is Su Xiangsi, he understands that this little girl has endured too much.
"Okay." Su Xiangsi sniffed, turned around and followed her grandfather back to the study.
The door of General Su's mansion also slowly closed.
