Chapter 164: The Beginning of the Disaster (2)
Dredging the silted river, saving people, saving the property that can be saved, issuing orders to disperse porridge, appeasing the people, doing everything that can be done well, and doing everything that cannot be done well.
Zhao Xiangling's desk was delivered all night, telling her to rest for twelve hours a day without half an hour of rest.
For three days and nights, Qifeng Palace was brightly lit, and Zhao Xiangling almost sat in front of the desk and never left.
Looking at the mountains of recitals on the case, Zhao Xiangling's eyes were red, but he didn't dare to rest for a while.
Because as soon as she closes her eyes, the loss may be the lives of a group of people.
However, there are still constant aftershocks outside, but Zhao Xiangling is not a big problem here.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Zhao Xiangling said: "The household department has allocated 30 million taels, and the loss of the capital is really heavy, and the silver is thrown down without even making a sound." ”
The point is that if the silver is thrown down, it may not be implemented.
Li Ruiqing's eyes were a little blue, and Zhao Xiangling had been open for a few days, and he was only a lot more than her. Besides, he still needs to leave the palace and calm down many things.
"I have joined hands with the right minister, and now the Ministry of Industry is still here, and no one can take any benefit from it."
Liao Xi is upright and can't see the slightest bit of selfishness, this is indeed the time when he plays his biggest role.
"Hmm." Zhao Xiangling knelt on the table, "I'll rest for a while, do you want to accompany me?" ”
She was a little tired, her chest was a little tight, and her eyes couldn't be opened very much.
"You sleep first, and I'll watch for you for a while." Li Ruiqing said, "Go and lie on the bed for a while, be obedient." ”
Zhao Xiangling did not walk away, but asked Celadon to bring a small pillow, rested it on Li Ruiqing's lap, and tilted his body.
As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep.
The emperor is simply the most tiring job in the world.
Li Ruiqing leaned slightly sideways, so that Zhao Xiangling could lie down more comfortably. He looked down at the various identical movements, and felt very tired.
He picked up the pen, imitated Zhao Xiangling's handwriting, and began to ink.
Time passed, the moon was in the middle of the sky, Li Ruiqing's movements had not changed, and the movements on the table had not decreased, but increased.
The inner servant kept handing over the folds at the bottom, and everyone always had one or two folds of the above, and the content was mostly repeated, all of which were the great sorrows of the people and the great sorrow of the people.
Li Ruiqing rarely felt a little irritable.
All the excerpts need to be reviewed by eye, but all of them are useless, and such a process is simply a waste of time listening to them feel sorry for themselves.
He simply didn't change it, read it all quickly, divided a few useful things, and only wrote a few sentences.
Rao is so, and the moon has shifted to the west.
The desk was finally empty, and Rao is Li Ruiqing was a little overwhelmed. He wanted to get up, but he couldn't stand up.
His legs were numb from Zhao Xiangling's sleep, and he was very weak.
Seeing this, Celadon hurriedly came over and helped gently raise Zhao Xiangling's head: "Lord Zuo Xiang, you also go and rest for a while, and you can sleep for up to two hours if you rest now." ”
Li Ruiqing rested for a while, picked up Zhao Xiangling, turned his head and said, "Call me after a stick of incense, don't wake her up." ”
Celadon sighed and responded, "Okay." ”
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that even the iron man won't be able to survive.
Zhao Xiangling slept soundly, and he didn't wake up even if he was moved like this. Li Ruiqing took off her clothes and let her sleep better.
He lay down on his own clothes, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Half an hour later, Celadon whispered into the house and woke Li Ruiqing up. Li Rui went out to wash after he sobered up, and then told Celadon a few words before going out.
Zhao Xiangling slept until dawn.
As soon as she woke up, she felt bad when she saw herself lying flat on the bed. She sat up and saw that it was already getting dark.
Diesheng let the celadon in, and Zhao Xiangling asked, "What time is it?" ”
Celadon said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to go to court early today. ”
Zhao Xiang paused: "Why?" ”
"Lord Zuo ordered to go down last night, saying that the disaster is too serious, and I hope that the ministers will concentrate on disaster relief and not distract themselves."
This is obviously an order issued by himself, and last night Ruiqing wrote the edict in his own tone.
Zhao Xiangling sighed: "Where is he now?" ”
No matter where Li Ruiqing is, it is estimated that he will not be in the palace.
Sure enough, Celadon said: "When the time comes, Lord Zuo Xiang left the palace to deal with the epidemic in the city." ”
Even more terrible than the earth is the plague.
Li Ruiqing is going alone now, I'm afraid Zhao Instant won't let him go.
Looking at the empty desk, Zhao Xiangling knew that his folds had been dealt with by him, and sighed: "Change clothes and leave the palace." ”
===
Zhao Xiangling dressed up in disguise, went out of the city and stood in the ruins, and he could see the white clothes from a distance.
He had several cuts on his body, some of which were slightly stained dark red, presumably because he had been bruised by the gravel while saving people, and he had no time to take care of it.
He and Liao Xi were lifting a man in the prime of life out from under a wooden beam and resting on the ground to look at his wounds.
Li Ruiqing lifted the man's robe, gently stroked the shocking scratches on his back with his fingers, and pressed down hard.
There was only a scream, followed by the sound of bones in place.
A woman with her child was silently wiping her tears, kneeling and praying that her husband would get through this difficult time.
Zhao Xiangling only paused, then walked forward quickly and stopped in front of Li Ruiqing.
Li Ruiqing didn't expect her to follow, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" Go back, it's dangerous here! ”
Liao Xi's face was full of surprise, and he also agreed: "Your Majesty...... Childe, it's better for you to go back, this is not for you. ”
Outside, he couldn't directly call Zhao Xiangling and His Majesty.
"I'll take a look." Zhao Xiangling said, "There's nothing to do when I go back, I won't make a mess." ”
She didn't help much, though.
At his feet, the strong man was still moaning, Li Ruiqing lowered his head, hurriedly sprinkled medicinal powder for him to bandage the wound, and asked the woman to help him to rest.
"If you want to stay, don't stay too far from me." Li Ruiqing said to Zhao Xiangling, "They are nearby, and I can't take care of you if you go too far." ”
Zhao Xiangling retreated to the rubble with celadon, signaling her to just watch from the sidelines, occasionally taking a hand.
Seeing this, Li Ruiqing and Liao Xi didn't say anything more.
Three days have passed since the ground movement, and most of the people who can be rescued have been rescued, and most of the people who have been moved out are corpses.
Whenever the rescued person is not alive, most of his relatives just cry, but there are still people who will scold and accuse the rescuer of not being decent.
For example, now.
"I just saw him move." Woman.
"You say, didn't you move the beam when you moved it just now, you said, you said!" The woman wept with her child.
What's more, they threw stones directly at people, cursing endlessly, and sprinkling all the injustices of heaven on other people's heads.
When Zhao Xiangling watched them throw all the stones on Li Ruiqing, he finally couldn't help but drag Li Ruiqing out.
"You're not going to dodge? Does it hurt? Zhao Xiangling dragged him out of here.
Li Ruiqing didn't speak.
