Chapter 168: Refugee Influx

What Zhao Runzhi and this aunt have experienced, that is something that Shen Junru can't ask, everyone has their own past and secrets that they don't want to mention. She's not that kind of curious.

In her opinion, it is better to know many things than not to know, and many people die of knowing too much.

"Miss Shen is tormenting the old body, and the old body often hears Runzhi mention the eldest lady's favor to him, and the old body and soul are really grateful."

"Mrs. Zhao misunderstood, I have never given Mr. Zhao any favors, but Mr. Zhao has helped me a lot, especially my stubborn brother, after Mr. Zhao's teaching, he is really sensible. My father often said that when he got the opportunity, he would thank Mr. Zhao for his mentor. ”

"That's Miss Shen giving you a chance"

In the carriage, Shen Junru and Mrs. Zhao chatted about their relationship, and Shen Junru probably knew something about Zhao Runzhi's life experience.

It turned out that Zhao Runzhi's parents died when he was very young, and then he has been following Mrs. Zhao, in order to take care of Zhao Runzhi, this lady has never married. is this kindness, which Zhao Runzhi can't repay.

It is no wonder that the relationship between the aunt and nephew is so close, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are as close as mother and son.

Through the car curtain, Zhao Runzhi asked.

"Miss Shen, did you just say that Shen Shangshu and His Royal Highness King Qin went down to deal with the Huainan flood and the breaking of the embankment?"

"Yes, I moved early this morning."

"I'm just a little strange, why would the Holy Lord hand over such an important matter to His Royal Highness King Qin, I thought before"

"You think it will be handed over to the crown prince or the third prince, right?"

Don't say it's Zhao Runzhi, I'm afraid most people think so.

It's a pity that King Qin's dark horses still came out.

If Zhao Runzhi can help King Qin, it will be a great help in the future.

In his previous life, Zhao Runzhi and King Qin were not in harmony, a big reason was that King Qin was not in power and did not speak well, and he pushed a young prince, but secretly he was in charge of the government, and no one could say how long this little emperor could sit.

Therefore, at that time, the royalist faction led by Zhao Runzhi and the ruling faction led by the regent Wang Fengmin were often fighting.

Zhao Runzhi won the championship in one fell swoop in this autumn season, first entered the Hanlin, and then entered the cabinet, deep saint love, which is inseparable from his ingenuity, just a few years to worship the cabinet into the phase, that is, the saint died when he also left a will, Zhao Runzhi as the right minister, to assist the new emperor, it can be seen that its means and ability, it can be said that from the time he began to show his edge, his official road is soaring, steady progress.

Such a person, if he was born in the royal family, would be Feng Min's biggest opponent!

From scratch, it is the accumulation of more than ten years that has everything that has followed.

"It's not a secret, if the Fourth Highness hadn't had an accident, maybe it would have been one of the two princes who had gone this time, but after the accident, I was also thinking, who would the Holy Lord send? But he never thought that he would send His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who has always had no quarrel with the world and does not participate in any partisan disputes. ”

It is not easy to think of this step.

Shen Junru smiled, she has always been stingy in the matter of ordering Zhao Runzhi.

The carriage swayed, accompanied by Shen Junru's crisp and beautiful voice. Zhao Runzhi, who was driving the carriage outside, reduced the speed of the carriage as much as possible to make the carriage run smoothly.

"Our saint is smart, he is used to keeping the situation balanced, and will never let the family dominate, contain each other, check and balance each other, he may not not see everything, but just turn a blind eye, his throne will be handed over sooner or later, but not when he is still healthy. Once one side is so powerful that it will threaten him, then he will inevitably intervene to contain it, or cultivate another force to come out. ”

"You mean, he wants to cultivate the King of Qin?"

Shen Junru shook her head and said.

"It's not there yet, he's just giving those two a wake-up call."

Zhao Runzhi is a smart person, although Shen Junru's words are point-to-point, but these are enough for him to understand.

Aren't they delusional about the divine will?

Zhao Runzhi chuckled, and what Shen Yu said before flashed in his mind, "Are you pleasing to my sister?" At that time, he was actually a little flustered.

Is it so obvious?

Suddenly, the person behind him stretched out his hand, opened the curtain, and said softly.

"Come to the gates and lay me down."

"I'll send you back to Shen Mansion, it's just a matter of the way."

"You see those people."

When she was talking to Zhao Runzhi in the carriage, she saw the situation outside from the window.

In front of them, there were many people in rags, some supporting each other, some alone with branches, some holding little babies in one hand and thin packages in the other, but these people without exception were heading towards the city gate.

"It's refugees, they're already here."

"Why didn't you see it?"

Shen Junru muttered, only listening to Zhao Runzhi's explanation.

"I just walked on the trail, and I turned onto the official road, and then I saw these refugees, presumably there are still behind."

When she left the city gate in the morning, she hadn't seen the refugees.

This proves that these were the first people to flee here, and there are many more to come.

They all thought that at the foot of the imperial city, there would be at least a bite of food to eat!

However, what they don't know is that even if they arrive in the imperial city, they may not be able to survive.

Shen Junru's heart beat wildly, and it was obvious that Zhao Runzhi also thought of the seriousness of the matter.

There are so many victims, those who are dead and wounded on the road, if someone is buried, it is fine, if there is no one to bury, then will it cause a plague? If there were, this large number of victims came all the way and poured into the capital, and the spread of the plague was unimaginable.

The weather is so hot, it is very easy to have an epidemic!

Also, what will the adults in the city do to these victims?

It is almost impossible to open the city gates and allow a large number of victims to pour in, after all, the capital is only so large, and the large influx of people in such a short period of time will only cause more serious consequences.

Then all they will do is close the gates!

"We have to hurry, Mr. Zhao, I think if you are free, can you help me?"

"Miss Shen, what do you want to do?"

"I can't control the situation in the world, I can't accommodate so many refugees alone, the only thing I can do is to do a little bit."

A smile flashed on Zhao Runzhi's face, and he knew that the Miss Shen he knew had always been a soft-hearted and benevolent person.

He said.

"Perhaps, I have a better way here, may I like to hear it?"

What better way?

She knew that Zhao Runzhi was a genius!

"Of course, I'd like to hear about it."
