Hearing this, Xiao Xiao sat up suddenly, but he was so anxious that he forgot that he still had injuries on his body, and he "hissed" in pain and took a breath of cool air.

Qin Yining was taken aback, and hurriedly held his arm to let him find a comfortable angle: "Why are you so reckless, you forgot that you are still injured?" ”

Xiao Xiao raised his hand, "I know." Before you leave the day after tomorrow, be sure to carefully check the disaster relief items in public. He hugged Qin Yining in his arms and shook it, "Sister Yi'er, you are really my baby." ”

"You don't have to think of that. It's just that I want to get lost for a while. ”

"No, there are good wives and men in the family who don't suffer from misfortunes, I don't know how many people envy me." Xiao Xiao whispered something in her ear.

Qin Yining's face turned red, and he slapped him: "Why are you so annoying!" ”

Xiao Xiao didn't care, still looking at her and laughing.

The time of the day passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Xiao arranged the travel properly, and Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi and other strategists left first.

Inevitably, there was danger, and Xiao Xiao also arranged for Tang Xiu to lead people to follow and protect him.

Qin Yining gathered the servants of the inner house together again and gave them double the monthly money.

"I don't know when I will come back this time for disaster relief, maybe a year and a half, maybe three years and five years, such a long time, the palace only needs people to watch the house, and I will invite you to come when I and the prince return."

Naturally, the servants obeyed, and took the money and scattered.

The rest of the people are all going to be taken with them on this trip.

Although Li Qitian gave him a tight time, it was only one day, and Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining also prepared everything.

Early in the morning of the eleventh day, Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining had just dressed up, and someone came outside: "Lord Wang! The Holy One himself has come to practice for you! ”

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao glanced at each other, and had already guessed what Li Qitian was going to do, so the two of them led the crowd out of the gate of the palace, and bowed respectfully in front of the door to greet them.

Li Qitian stepped down from the imperial chariot, lowered his eyes and looked at the couple who were respectfully saluting, and stepped forward with a smile: "What is this for, Zhixi, your injuries have not healed, not to mention between me and your brother, why do you need to be like this." ”

As he spoke, many people had gathered in front of the palace, and horse-drawn carriages came slowly one after another, stopping on the side of the road in front of the palace in turn.

The corner of his eyes swept over the row of carriages, there were twenty taels, and he turned his head and said respectfully: "Although the saint said so, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, the courtier is the courtier, the son of heaven is the son of heaven, where can the minister be sloppy with the rules?" ”

Li Qitian nodded with a smile and glanced at Qin Yining behind him, "The princess has also been missing for many days, where did she go to play a few days ago?" ”

Qin Yining knew that Li Qitian had also ordered someone to track and kidnap her as a threat, but she was very lucky that she didn't let Li Qitian's people meet, this son of heaven is so small-bellied and willing to attack women, Qin Yining is quite ashamed of such a person.

"When I returned to the saint, I just walked around at will, and the natural and man-made disasters became more and more serious, so I returned to the capital."

Li Qitian thought about it, and didn't ask any more questions, let alone mention the rude behavior of Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining that day, and only said with a smile: "Zhixi." Needless to say, is the importance of disaster relief? When you go, you must do your best to relieve the people's suffering. I don't want to see the miserable displacement of the people. ”

But that's what happened to the one in front of me.

Qin Yining lowered his long eyelashes and perfectly hid the disdain in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao said: "What the saint said is that I am afraid that the ministers will do their best to share the worries of the saint. He looked at the carriage parked on the side of the road and said with a smile: "These are the supplies for the victims?" ”

Li Qitian smiled and nodded: "Yes." These are already in the register, so take them with you. He turned his head and gestured.

Xiong Jinshui immediately touched a booklet with a dark blue cover with both hands.

Xiao Xiao took it, respectfully thanked the Holy Grace, turned around with the account book, and handed it to Huzi, "You take someone to count the materials on the carriage, and you have to open them in public to display."

"Yes." Huzi nodded respectfully and walked quickly.

Li Qitian's brows were furrowed, his face was hot, and his heart was a little flustered.

As soon as he confessed, he took Qin Yining to help.

Li Qitian hurriedly said: "Those who have been registered in the book have already been brought over, and it is almost the auspicious time to set off, so you should also prepare." ”

Xiao Xiao didn't seem to understand Li Qitian's words, and said with a smile: "Yes, the minister is preparing." ”

Seeing that Xiao Xiao was getting busy, Li Qi's brows were furrowed to kill a fly, "What I said is that the good day has arrived, and we can't delay the time to set off, otherwise Qin Tian has supervised it, which is a big bad thing." Zhixi, you and the princess should get in the car quickly and leave immediately. ”

Although Li Qitian's tone is consultation, he is the Son of Heaven, and when he says it, it is a golden mouth.

Xiao Xiao couldn't resist the decree in front of the public, so he had to take Qin Yining to the carriage.

Huzi checked it with great fanfare, not caring at all whether the carriage that had been installed would be overturned.

Li Qitian's blood vessels on his forehead were bruised, and he immediately said: "I ordered to set off immediately, you can't hear it!" ”

Xiong Jinshui followed the emperor's side, the emperor spoke like this, where did he dare to be silent?

Xiong Jinshui walked quickly to the owl and said, "Hurry up, the will of the Holy Lord cannot be disobeyed!" ”

Xiao Xiao has no ill feelings towards Xiong Jinshui, he is polite with his attitude, but his voice is as loud as a bell.

"Since the Holy One said that it cannot be disobeyed, then it should be investigated clearly, and no one should be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes, in case someone takes this opportunity to embezzle disaster relief materials? It's better to see it in person. lest the minister come to carry the black pot to others. ”

Xiao Xiao's words were really direct, and everyone present was shocked, and the people who were watching from the periphery of the street were separated by the Imperial Forest Army, and they couldn't help but whisper when they saw it.

"The world is in chaos like this, and there are still people who will embezzle disaster relief materials? Wouldn't that be intolerable! ”

"You don't know that there are even more hateful grain merchants in the south who are still making their fortunes! Maybe in the blink of an eye, someone will use counterfeit materials to deceive the prince.

Li Qitian gritted his teeth when he heard this, and he made up his mind to be a benevolent monarch today, and he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only nod with a smile, "That's it, since you can't believe me, it's right to be clear in person." ”

The minister was terrified. Where would the minister dare to doubt the saint? Xiao Xiao immediately knelt down with a thud, and he didn't care about the wounds on his body.

Qin Yining also hurriedly knelt down, as a woman, it was inconvenient for her to speak, so she only lowered her head and trembled, as if she was frightened by Li Qitian's words.

The people didn't know why, but when they saw that the prince was kneeling, they knelt with him.

Prince Zhongshun's voice at the court was too high. There were many people who cared about the government and even thought that he would be able to go to Tatar, but he didn't expect the Holy Lord to arrange for him to go to disaster relief.

The people were not steady, and because of the distance, the discussion became louder and louder.

There are even more people whispering that a military general who has made such a great contribution is now useless as a hero, and he has to be suppressed by the saint so much, so he can only kneel down and kowtow obediently, and he doesn't dare to explain more.

As the people thought so, there was even more talk of not being cautious.

Although Li Qitian didn't know what the people were thinking, he had already guessed a rough idea by looking at everyone's expressions.

How could he forget that Xiao Zhixi is the best at winning people's sympathy, so that people can stand on the same team as him.

In addition to being angry, Li Qitian had already thought of a countermeasure to deal with it, and he was no longer flustered.

Originally, he was just opportunistic and lucky today, if he could use this legal system to subdue the tyrant, even if it was an unexpected gain, if he couldn't, it didn't matter, he was the Son of Heaven, couldn't he still deter a little prince with a different surname?

After a brief period of anger, Li Qitian changed his words, "You are also right, after all, I have a lot of opportunities, and I don't have to do everything myself." For example, the materials for disaster relief this time were used urgently and in large quantities, and I didn't have time to take a closer look. It's better to check carefully, lest something goes wrong, and then you're sorry for the people who have been affected. ”

Xiao Xiao lowered his head and looked at the ground, Li Qitian's shadow was stretched by the early morning sun, casting a shadow on the bluestone brick in front of him.

It seems that Li Qitian has no plan and immediately stops, and plans to arrange someone to top the cylinder.

Xiao Xiao slandered in his heart, but he smiled on his face, kowtowed, and said: "Yes, the minister will definitely check carefully." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Huzi took someone to check the items on the car, handed the booklet to Xiao Xiao, and said: "Lord Wang, there is no gold or silver on the car, and these twenty carts of grain and grass can only hold ten taels of carriages when gathered." There was neither gold nor silver written in the booklet. ”

Xiao Xiao presented the booklet to Li Qitian, and said with a smile: "Holy Lord, some of the ministers who are missing will not be held accountable. It's just one point, the saint must strictly investigate this fake account book, or this person is greedy for the silver of the imperial court! The minister sees that this hands-on person is simply ill-intentioned!

"You think, the minister went to the south to run an errand is your face, naturally accept your kindness, and the minister is a powerful person around the saint, if you take advantage of this to separate the relationship between the monarch and the minister, it will be difficult to do disaster relief in the future."

Li Qitian nodded again and again, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, he had different ideas, and did not directly suspect his head. Otherwise, if you don't talk far, he won't be able to explain in front of these people.

"Don't worry, the minister will investigate thoroughly!" Li Qitian's face sank like water.

Xiao Xiao said respectfully: "Yes, thank you, Your Excellency." After finishing speaking, he turned around and instructed Huzi, "Take people and gather the grain and grass to facilitate management after traveling, otherwise there will always be chaos if the team is too long." ”

Huzi immediately received the order and took people to carry the supplies.

When it was carried to the palace, the guards did not let the people avoid it. Everyone's eyes were staring at each other, and no one had a chance to do anything at all.

Until these grain and grass materials or linen clothes were loaded into the cart, Xiao Xiao pointed to the number of carriages and said with a smile: "Obviously, the grain and grass that can be transported by eight carriages can be transported, and the group of people in the household department has loaded twenty carts. ”

The corners of Li Qitian's mouth drooped, and he closed his eyes before he returned to his clarity, and said, "Don't worry, I won't spare anyone who does such things." ”
