"The saint is wise, and the minister knows that the saint will not condone the villain who wants to slander the minister and provoke the relationship between the monarch and the minister!" The owl saluted with admiration on his face, and his attitude was sincere, and he couldn't see any flaws.

Li Qitian's heart was beating wildly with anger, and his expression was almost uncontrollable! Xiao Zhixi dared to point at Sang and scold Huai, scolding him for being a villain! He can't have a seizure!

Li Qitian only felt that he and Xiao Zhixi were really fated at this time, and this person was born to restrain him!

Don't want to look at Xiao Xiao's smug face anymore, Li Qitian squeezed out a friendly smile and said: "Although I will strictly investigate this matter, but the disaster relief cannot be delayed, you still set off immediately, these grains and grass are used first." ”

"Yes, I obey." Seeing that Li Qitian didn't even mention the matter of making up for the twelve carts of grain and grass, he had a number in his heart, and he didn't know much, so he took Qin Yining and his entourage to give Li Qitian a respectful salute.

Li Qitian was very satisfied with the courtesy and thoughtfulness of the owl, his mood was a little smoother, and he nodded and allowed everyone to set off.

Xiao Xiao and his party set off with eight carts of grain and grass and headed for the outside of the city.

Watching Xiao Xiao walk away, Li Qitian also returned to the palace and drove back to the palace.

The people who stretched their necks in the distance and watched knelt down and kowtowed, and the mountains shouted long live.

Li Qitian's mood is not better because of this, today's plan is not successful, and so many people have also seen this scene, this matter will soon spread to everyone in the capital, and then how many mouths will slander him behind his back and create rumors about him?

It's time to show some attitude.

Thinking about this, I secretly made a decision in my heart.

And Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao left the capital, but they didn't put their minds on Li Qitian's solution to this matter.

"He is a face-saving person, and he will definitely find a way to make a show when he is looked at by so many people." Qin Yining sat sideways in the carriage and gave up most of the space to Xiao Xiao lying on his stomach, "I just didn't expect him to really come up with such a way to slander you, I swore to remind you before, and I wanted you to be on guard, but in my heart, I felt that my idea was a bit of a fuss." ”

"It's a shame that I listened to you." Xiao Xiao sighed, "If you are discovering halfway, or passively waiting for the next step of the Holy Lord, it will be too stupid." ”

Qin Yining smiled, and when he lifted the curtain and looked back, he saw the eight carriages.

When I thought of the disaster relief in the whole south, the saint only gave eight truckloads of brown rice and grains, which is a drop in the bucket for today's disaster situation.

It seems that the treasure will be moved when necessary.

As Qin Yining expected, these eight carts of grain were simply not enough to support them to go to the south, and when they met a small town along the way, they had already used a cart of grain after proper observation, and saw those hungry children with yellow faces and thin muscles, big heads and thin necks running barefoot after the grain and grass carts, just to touch the rice and go back and cook porridge for their parents who were already so hungry that they couldn't get up, Qin Yining's eyes were red.

"I've always been protected by you so well, even if I know that there is a disaster, I can't feel it without seeing it with my own eyes."

Outside Jingang City, Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao stood on the side of the road and watched the accompanying palace guards build a porridge shed, and then looked at the people who had gathered in the distance, and Qin Yining made up his mind.

"Zhixi, if I used to be a little hesitant to activate the treasure, now I don't hesitate at all."

Xiao Xiao's face was also solemn, and he took Qin Yining's hand and nodded, "I am the same." ”

Qin Yining felt that the tips of his fingers were cold, and shrank his fingertips into the warm palm of his hand.

There is not enough grain and grass, and the porridge shed can only be divided into thin porridge. But even if the porridge and soup are all revealed, the people still cherish it very much.

The grain and grass were eaten up in only three days.

All that was left in his hands was an empty carriage. When I left the porridge shed and went to Jingang City, the desperate and numb eyes of the people really made people sting deeply.

In the face of natural disasters, human power is really too small. But fortunately, they still have a chance to fight.

The scene in Jingang City was better than outside the city, but it was much worse than the situation when Qin Yining came last time.

With so many retinues, and driving an empty carriage, he was very eye-catching, and he didn't deliberately publicize his identity when he came all the way to disaster relief, and now he is also acting in a low-key manner, because many people in Jingang just blindly believe that he is a person who took advantage of the country's disaster to make a fortune.

They had not yet found a place to settle, but they were stopped by Chen Zhixian, who had just taken office.

"Lord Wang, you can be regarded as here. Have you brought grain and grass with you? Since I got the news of your disaster relief, the lower officials have been making preparations and will wait for you to come to put food and porridge to solve the urgent need! ”

The previous magistrate of Jingang County was convicted by Li Qitian because of the fire at Jingang Wharf and the news of the fire dragon warning.

Now the new Jingang magistrate has just taken office, and he is very upright, although he was born as a jinshi in the last years of the previous dynasty, but because he is too sleek and flexible, he can only be a seven-grade release official.

Xiao Xiao has heard of this Chen Zhixian, and when he saw it today, he knew that the rumors outside were true, this Chen Zhixian was indeed a straight man, and he had no worries when he spoke.

If it were left to other officials, who would say such a thing that would cause ambiguity? It's as if he was a little county magistrate who dared to question the prince's ability to do things.

It's just that in the face of Chen Zhixian's face full of expectation, Xiao Xiao knew that he had no other intentions. He didn't know how to respond to his expectations.

"Lord Chen. When the king went out of Beijing, the saint arranged eight carts of grain and grass, and there were countless victims along the way, and the king could not see death without help, so he had to build a porridge shed on the side of the road to give the people their lives. Now that I have come to you, all the grain and grass that this king has brought with me have been used up. I'd like to ask an adult to help me this time. ”

When Chen Zhixian heard this, more than forty people were as aggrieved as children, and tears were about to come out.

"How so! How so! Eight carts of grain, how big is a wagon? Muttering and muttering here, Chen Zhixian has already seen the empty car brought by Xiao Xiao, which is just an ordinary-sized carriage, allowing people to come out for disaster relief, but only giving such a little food?

"This is simply incredible, doesn't the Holy One know that there is not enough food and grass outside? Doesn't his old man know how many innocent people have been starved to death? ”

"Lord Chen, it's better for you to calm your anger and be cautious."

It is rare to see such a sincere person who can question the Son of Heaven for the sake of the people, so he is naturally reluctant to let him bear the charge.

But the honest Chen Zhixian didn't understand Xiao Xiao's thoughts.

"Prince Zhongshun is the person next to the Son of Heaven, so he naturally speaks to the Son of Heaven, and you are pampered in the capital, so naturally I don't know how many people starved to death. Why did you nod and bring out these eight carts of grain? Chen Zhixian stomped his feet.

"Presumptuous!" Huzi couldn't listen to it anymore, and reprimanded: "The treasury is empty, the holy treasury has no money, and after many years of war, you shouldn't use any silver?" What's more, the Holy Lord still has to repair the Emperor's Mausoleum! Is it not right for the saint to use silver to repair the emperor's tomb? Now that there is no silver for disaster relief, the eight cars that can be brought are all won by the prince, you dare to be picky! Aren't you afraid that the Holy One will learn of the heavy punishment of you? ”

Qin Yining shook his head secretly as he listened. The people around Xiao Xiao naturally learned some of his styles, and Huzi's words seemed to be speaking for the saint, but in fact, the content only increased Chen Zhixian's dissatisfaction with what the saint had done, and he really gave Li Qitian another charge invisibly.

Chen Zhixian was furious when he heard it, but he also knew that he was soft-spoken, what he said just now was so impulsive, it was already the mercy of the prince that the prince did not condemn the crime, and the people around the prince naturally meant what the prince meant. If he contradicts this guard, won't he also contradict the prince?

Chen Zhixian suppressed his anger, lowered his eyebrows and said very resolutely: "Lord, you have been ordered to provide disaster relief, and since you have arrived in Jingang, you must give priority to disaster relief, and whether the people of Jingang can survive depends on the prince." ”

Xiao Xiao was helpless, "This king is also going to Shusheng to ask for rice and grain transportation, and there is no guarantee at the moment." ”

Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't dare to guarantee it. Chen Zhixian was anxious and angry, and grabbed Xiao Xiao's cuffs: "Lord Wang, can you see death and not save it." There are so many people waiting for you to help! You can't come up with a charter when necessary, don't blame the lower officials for doing too much, the lower officials are desperate, and they can't let you leave Jingang. ”

Qin Yining smacked his tongue when he listened.

This adult is too tough. How dare he say that he wants to detain the owl here?

This person clearly figured out Xiao Xiao's thoughts. Knowing that he was not a man who would target the people, nor would he punish him for such a thing, he dared to make such a strong demand.

Qin Yining shook his head and sighed lightly. In the face of such an unreasonable and partial, partiality for the good of the people, Xiao Xiao really can't do anything about him.

Xiao Xiao really didn't get angry, but just patted Chen Zhixian's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "This king immediately folded his son and asked the saint to deliver grain and grass. I also asked Chen Zhixian to cooperate, and in recent days, the people have been appeased, including those who are waiting for soup kitchens outside the city, this king will not leave, and when the people here can live, this king will go to the direction of the old capital of Dayan. ”

Chen Zhixian was stunned by Xiao Xiao's kind and reasonable attitude. He even thought about whether the prince would kill him in a fit of rage, but he still did so, betting that the rumors in the world that Prince Zhongshun was a benevolent and righteous person were true.

Now that he really saw Prince Zhongshun's personality, Chen Zhixian couldn't help but withdraw the hand that pulled the sleeve of the owl, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed three times in a row, and he didn't care if his forehead was purple.

"For the sake of the people of Jingang, thank you to the prince!"

Xiao Xiao hurriedly picked people up and said soothingly: "You and I are for a common purpose. Disaster relief is the king's duty, where can he bear such a great gift from Lord Chen? ”

Chen Zhixian waved his hand, shook his head and smiled ashamedly.

Xiao Xiao said: "I need Lord Chen to cooperate more these days." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Chen Zhixian seemed to have his mind spinning at this moment, and said busily: "Xiaguan will take you to the place where you are placed, right?" ”
