Chapter 149: Torture and Killing
After all, it is not worth celebrating to be able to eat such a hot meal in the midst of this tribulation.
Who knows if there will be one meal left, and whether they will survive until the next meal?
The water of the East Sea was pouring into the city, and the city was like a bottle.
If the mouth of the river, which bursts its banks during the heavy rains, is not repaired, the Xuzhou ship will sooner or later become a ruined city under the sea.
In this era, navigation technology was not very developed, so the shipbuilding industry was not developed.
If the lake and the sea flood the entire city, none of these people will be spared.
Originally, there was a pavilion in this Wei that did not have a good place, and if you had dinner there, you could enjoy the beautiful scenery and moonlight.
I can watch the fireflies flying, but now that it's raining so heavily, I can only eat indoors.
When the flower mist is ready to cook, all of them are served on the table, and they have not yet started to eat, and they have just put on the good flower carving.
There was no movement outside, and the guards came in to report that Chen Chang, the advisor beside Wei Shijie, the former Taishou, asked His Royal Highness to introduce Taisun.
Hua Wu and Mu Linxi looked at each other and kept silent, they reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Usually, you don't have to laugh or laugh, but when it comes to political matters, whether it is Hua Wu or Mu Linxi, they will never say more.
It's called knowing how to avoid suspicion...
"Chen Chang..."Rong Chen touched his chin, he remembered this person.
When he first arrived at Wei Mansion, Wei Shijie sent this person to keep an eye on him, and now that Wei Shijie is in prison, why did he come to find him?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he still ordered his subordinates to invite Chen Chang in.
Soon Chen Chang walked in behind Xia Liao, and after coming to the hall, he knelt respectfully in front of Rong Chen.
Then he kowtowed three times, "Grass people Chen Chang knocked to see His Royal Highness Taisun." ”
"You are Chen Chang"
Rong Chen's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were staring at him, the previous people were always hiding in the shadows, pretending to secretly spy on him intentionally or unintentionally.
So much so that he didn't look at Chen Chang's appearance very carefully, but at this time, he looked at him carefully a few times and saw it clearly.
This person is mediocre in appearance and has a thin body. A pair of small eyes swept through the fine light from time to time. The skin is still a little dark.
If this is an ordinary farmer, some people believe it.
Although his attitude was respectful, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, without the slightest awkwardness.
This is also the only point that Rong Chen looks at, "Okay, what are you here to see?" He asked indifferently.
"The grass people came this time for the people of Xuzhou City to ask for something, Chen Chao said word by word.
"Oh! Since you are asking for the people, Xuzhou City has its own officials to preside, what are you doing when you come to me, the grandson who has no real power? ”
After his eyes were disinterested and moved away from him, Chen Chang was not at a loss, and continued, "Your Highness is wise and intelligent, since the grass people dare to come and ask to see Your Highness."
Then there are some things that don't have to go around those bends and bends, so let's just get straight to the point. ”
He was so interested, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes were slanted at him, wanting to hear what was going on.
Chen Chang continued, "Our biggest official in Xuzhou City, Wei Sima, has been sent to prison by Your Highness.
At present, there is no backbone in Xuzhou City, and the displaced people pin their hopes on the government.
And the government pinned its hopes on the imperial court, but the messenger sent by the imperial court was trapped on the road.
Wufa rushed to support our Xuzhou, the people who can now lead the officials and people of Xuzhou,
It is only you, Your Highness, that the floodwaters from outside the city continue to pour into the city, and the people are displaced.
And not only Xuzhou, if Xuzhou is lost, more than ten provincial capitals behind it will receive the scourge of this flood. So we have to guard this checkpoint, the people are the hundred lines of Xuzhou officials, but whether the officials or the people of Xuzhou are your royal,"
"What if I don't agree?" Rong Chen seemed completely unmoved by what he was doing.
Chen Chang's expression was calm, obviously he had expected him to be like this, so he said unhurriedly.
"The subjects under this are all the sons of the people, the so-called water can carry the boat and also capsize the boat, as the emperor and grandson, whether you have real power or not,
But since he has run Xuzhou, he should be able to bear this paper responsibility.
The people support the royal family, so at the critical moment, the royal family should naturally do something meaningful for the people below. ”
Hua Wu couldn't help but glance at Chen Chang when she heard this, it turned out that the ancients would have been morally kidnapped...
She thought that only modern people would use this kind of trick...
Yu is looking at Rong Chen's reaction again, he seems to have any concerns?
"Now that the disaster is imminent, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Rong Chen turned his head sideways and stared at him silently, "Then tell me why you came to ask for orphans?"
You are just a lackey raised by Wei Shijie's side, without any official position, what qualifications do you have to ask me? ”
Chen Chang still replied calmly, "Although the grass people are not officials, they are also ordinary people in Xuzhou City.
is the son of the Great Chu State, why is he not qualified to come to see His Royal Highness? ”
His rhetorical question. On the contrary, he choked Rong Cheng, and he couldn't think of any good words to return to him at once.
Everyone thinks that the royal family should be born high, and over time, these royal people will forget it.
They are the boats, and what drives them is the water of the people, the king is the light and the people are precious, and the community is secondary.
If one day they Jiang Wanming are dogs, then the people can also turn into flood beasts to overthrow their big ship.
Chen Chang's words made Rong Chen can't help but start to re-examine him, but this kind of appearance is born. A three-inch tongue that is not rotten is really indestructible.
He stared at Chen Chang like this for a long time, and finally stopped.
"That's it." Rong Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Since you are here to beg for orphans, then you must already have a way to deal with this disaster in your heart!" What do you want Lone to do? ”
He was sure that since Chen Chang dared to come to him, he would definitely not put all his hopes on him.
I don't really expect him to come up with a way to deal with it for a while.
So he guessed that Chen Chang had already dealt with this disaster before he came, and he had a way to deal with it.
And the reason why it was difficult for him was to let him vomit to the end.
Chen Chang had obviously prepared for a long time, and Rong Chen's voice had not yet fallen.
He took out a bamboo slip from his arms, presented it, took it with Rong Chen and twisted his brows, and opened it.
Looking at the proposal written above, the more I looked at it, the heavier my expression became, and it took about half a pillar of incense to read it.
Then there was no expression on his face, just asked coldly, this is what you call a disaster relief plan?
If anyone who is a little familiar with Rong Chen knows what he looks like, they are already very angry.
