Chapter 122

"The ones who survive are the people, those who starved to death on the side of the road, the violent corpses were eaten by wild beasts in the wilderness, and were treated as warm nests by snakes, insects, rats and ants, do you think they are willing to eat these wild grass bark, dirt and gravel, or would rather starve to death than be subjected to this kind of "practice"" Xiao Huaimin looked at Xiao Huaixu and Xiao Huaijing and asked, the two young princes were a little dumbfounded, they wanted to say that this is not right, people are the souls of all things, and they should have their dignity and principles.

They were taught that they could not be killed, that they should not be eaten, but their elder brother and even their father told them about another world today. In the face of such a world, they have no way to say it conclusively, and would rather starve to death than be humiliated.

The prince looked at Xiao Huaijing and Xiao Huaixu, and sighed helplessly, "Seventh, eighth, you only said that the victims were displaced and left their hometowns, and they should not be treated like this anymore." But once disaster relief begins, porridge sheds are opened, rice grains are distributed, do you think only the victims will come to receive it?"

"That's something for disaster relief, of course, it can only be distributed to the victims" Xiao Huaixu subconsciously replied, but Xiao Huaijing sat on the side thoughtfully, as if he understood what the brothers meant.

Xiao Huaimin followed and said, "You are still young, you haven't been to the people, and you don't know the real people." Ordinary people, even if they are not disaster victims, have a lot of grain and rice at home, and if they can save it, they will naturally save it. When a porridge shed is opened, the people in the neighboring villages and towns will come to the porridge shed to get porridge, not to mention the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and the people in the eight townships will be moved by the wind. There are even black-hearted grain merchants who deliberately send people to pretend to be victims of the disaster to receive rice. The victims of the disaster have been running all the way to hunger and cold, where can they fight if these people do not stop it, the rice and grain for disaster relief are really used for the disaster victims, and I am afraid that there will be no one in ten. ”

"So third brother, you deliberately added soil to the porridge, and put bark and grass roots in the rice grain." Xiao Huaijing suddenly realized, but the little fat man Xiao Huaixu was still in the clouds, and his face was full of puzzlement.

"Yes, the porridge is filled with dirt and gravel, and no one will come to eat the rice mixed with bark and grass roots, except for the hungry people who are really hungry. Although the victims are poorly fed, when it comes to displacement, survival is the most important thing, and nothing else can be done. Xiao Huaimin explained.

After Xiao Huaimin's words were finished, a needle drop could be heard in the study for a while.

"For those who are in high positions are not to be benevolent to women. It is good for you to have a kind heart, but you should also know that you should not be blindly merciful, and let it become a cage that binds you. Alright, that's all for now. You go back and submit a thesis on this topic. The emperor made up his mind leisurely, "You all go down, third child, go and see your mother." ”

The princes dispersed and walked out of the study door, the prince looked at Xiao Huaide and asked, "Second brother, what's going on with you today" Xiao Huaide made Xiao Huaimin stumble, but let Xiao Huaimin and the prince be in the limelight, and his face was full of gloom.

"What's going on, the younger brother is stupid, you don't have the eldest brother, you have a good mind, you can't think of so many sophistries and ingenuity, I just heard that the third brother fed the victims with livestock forage, and I felt angry, and I couldn't help but say it" Xiao Huaide Yang said angrily, even if the prince has a good temper, he can't bear to be said like this by Xiao Huaide, "Second brother, what kind of grievances do you have in your heart, Suo Jin said it together, why are brothers so bitter and mean." The matter of the third child has been explained very clearly, if you blindly believe that the third child is misbehaving, and think that I am clever and eloquent, you can refer to our book in the Ming Dynasty, and let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military judge it."

"I don't dare." Xiao Huaide took an exaggerated step back, "I obviously heard what my father just said, and you still let me participate in your book, big brother, do you think I'm stupid, you are all smart people, you know the overall situation, brother, I don't think I have that ability, so go back and take a good look at the high arguments between the eldest brother and the third brother."

Xiao Huaide perfunctorily arched his hand towards the prince, and then turned away. The prince looked at Xiao Huaide's back and was so angry that he choked. "Big brother, don't be angry." Xiao Huaimin stepped forward and said to the prince, "You didn't know the second brother on the first day, he is just that. It's just angry with himself to be more honest with him. ”

The prince stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Huaimin's shoulder, and said helplessly, "Since my father sent you the errand in Fujian, the second child has always had a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes, and I also know that he is unhappy in his heart, and feels that he entered the court earlier than you, and this matter should be handled by him." ”

"I thought that our own brother, he was angry at the time, and he would be fine later. I didn't expect to forget it, you just came back, and it was very tiring compared to running all the way. Hurry up and see Concubine De, listen to the queen mother, Concubine De thinks you are tight, I am afraid that I am looking forward to you in the past. ”

Xiao Huaimin nodded, smiled gently at the prince, and looked like a good brother, "Then the younger brother will go over first and say goodbye." ”

Xiao Huaide and Xiao Huaimin both left, the prince took the little eunuch on the side and walked two steps, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Huaijing and Xiao Huaixu, the two children, still together, muttering that they didn't know what they were talking about.

"Seventh, eighth, what are you still doing there, don't you leave" The prince said suspiciously, Xiao Huaixu, who was talking, looked up at the prince, and then pulled Xiao Huaijing to run to the prince, with a bun face that was so bitter, "Big brother, my father asked us to write a strategy about the disaster victims, but I still can't, what should I do" Xiao Huaixu said sadly.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and asked angrily and funny, "Why didn't you understand what your third brother said just now?"

Xiao Huaixu looked at the prince, his eyes were full of the sincerity and innocence of the young man, "I know what the third brother said, and I understand what he means." But eldest brother, can people be willing to be beasts in order to survive, then the integrity and bones that have been recited by ancient sages and sages through the ages, aren't these contrary to what the third brother said about the supremacy of survival?"

The prince didn't expect that this little fat man seemed to be ignorant, but he actually thought so much. He looked at Xiao Huaixu, his eyes were even gentler than when he looked at Xiao Huaixu before, "Old Seven, have you ever been hungry" Xiao Huaixu shook his head, he ate the most, the dim sum fruit in the palace has not been broken, where will there be a chance for him to starve.

The prince thought for a while, and then smiled and said, "Forget it, Seventh, it's a good thing that you have these ideas, but the eldest brother can tell you that what you think is not in conflict with what your third brother said." You have to figure it out for yourself. If you figure it out, your policy will come out. Go ahead, if you really don't understand, ask your master again. ”

Xiao Huaixu returned to the clouds and mountains and covered the ground, and when he saw that the prince was going to send him away, his face was still a little unhappy. Xiao Huaijing pulled Xiao Huaixu and said, "Oh, the eldest brother has said that you don't understand, go and ask Mr., let's go, the eldest brother still has something." Let's go, didn't you say that Concubine Hui Niangniang wants to make something delicious at noon, hurry up. ”

The prince watched the two little teenagers pull and pull away, and his heart that was broken by Xiao Huaide finally got better again.

In Concubine De's palace, as soon as Xiao Huaimin entered, he didn't even have time to salute, so he was pulled up by Concubine De.

"Good boy, let the mother take a look." Concubine De looked Xiao Huaimin up and down for a while, and then said with tears in her eyes, "I'm thin, and I'm a little darker." It can be seen that this time I went to Fujian to endure hardships. ”

Xiao Huaimin took advantage of the situation to help Concubine De sit down on the chair, and smiled at Concubine De, "Mother don't worry, my son feels that he has become much stronger when he goes out." The horizon is also widened, and no one will be laughed at in the future. ”

Concubine De took the Jinpa sent by the palace maid, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then pulled Xiao Huaimin and said, "I know that you are seeking to be motivated, so I never stop you." But in the future, these errands can still be avoided, and I don't expect you to be very creative, I just want you to be safe. Don't you know, you went to Fujian, and I had nightmares every night, either dreaming of the plague in Fujian, or the mutiny of the victims. Nervous. ”

"Mother, how can you scare yourself like this." Xiao Huaimin smiled, "Besides, isn't my son coming back, you see, it's good, not even a single hair is missing." ”

"It's good to come back, you can also accompany Ruofang when you come back, if this child doesn't always serve and talk to me in front of me, I don't know how to survive this time." Concubine De said.

Xiao Huaimin smiled, "That's natural, but Ruofang is your daughter-in-law, and it should be served by you." When her son is away from home, it is natural for her to be filial to her son in front of you. ”

"Okay, what should not be done." Concubine De glanced at Xiao Huaimin, "Only women can understand women's difficulties, you old men, you can only say this should be that, you don't know how to be considerate." ”

Concubine De pulled Xiao Huaimin and talked for a while, and the palace maid outside came to spread the word, saying that the people from the Internal Affairs Office came to talk about it. Yuhua, the big palace maid on the side of Concubine De, called people in, and the chief eunuch Fu Lai walked in with a few little eunuchs, saluted Concubine De and Xiao Huaimin, and then asked people to give the list to Concubine De, and said, "Concubine De, the cost of the Thousand Treasures Feast has been listed, please take a look." In addition, the Queen Mother said that the banquet in the New Year is a trouble, so that there are more things to have fun, which is not better than holding various ladies. ”

"A Thousand Treasures Feast" Xiao Huaimin was puzzled, and Fu Lai smiled at Xiao Huaimin, "The third prince has just returned to Beijing, and he may not know yet." The Queen Mother decreed that she wanted to hold a thousand treasures feast before the year, and invited all young ladies to enter the palace to make trouble. ”

Xiao Huaimin's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and said with a smile, "Grandmother Huang, who is the young lady you have taken a fancy to again, who do you want to be a matchmaker" Concubine De had already finished reading the list of degrees sent by Fulai, and handed the things to Yuhua, and when she heard Xiao Huaimin say this, she also smiled and said, "Who else can it be, the queen mother has not cared much about the affairs of the harem in the past two years, and the only one who can work her old man is your little uncle." ”

As soon as Concubine De said this, everyone in the room laughed tacitly. Xiao Huaimin was aroused, looked at Concubine De and asked, "Oh, little uncle is relieved, I don't know whose girl is so blessed"

Concubine De motioned for Fu Lai to step back, looked at Xiao Huaimin and said, "We haven't said anything about this yet, just because that girl is still in filial piety." As for the people, it is your little uncle's own favorite, the cousin of the Yu family of Jingyong Gongyu. Your sixth sister has already gone to see it, and she came back and said that she was very good, and her appearance and conduct were outstanding, and she also brought back a volume of Buddhist scriptures copied by the girl, and the Queen Mother liked it very much. No, let's look for a name and call the young lady into the palace to meet him. ”

"Jingyong Mansion" Xiao Huaimin said thoughtfully, Concubine De didn't notice that Xiao Huaimin suddenly became a little strange, and replied casually, "Yes, that young lady's father is Mu Jiangxuan, but unfortunately, Master Mu left earlier, and then he is also a humerus minister." ”

"My little uncle has a really good eye." Xiao Huaimin smiled and said meaningfully. The chapter content is being restored, so please visit it later.
