Chapter 235: Princess Lu Xuan was captured by the Liao army
"Let's go!" Lian Hao put on his clothes and took Leng Yue into the carriage.
"Are you going back to dinner?" Lian Qi shouted, but no one answered her.
When Lian Hao and Leng Yue Dijie arrived, Xiao Heng was busy all over the world, Xiao Heng was instructing his two sons, Xiao Ji Xiaowu said: "You two bring more people out to find out, see who still has a cauldron for porridge, and transfer them all."
"Father, we've all mixed ten cauldrons in the city, and we really can't find it." Xiao Ji has been a county magistrate in Zhongshan County for several years, and he knows exactly who has a cauldron or not.
Xiao Wu was also worried, "Father, from the morning to now, hundreds of thousands of refugees have entered the city, even if we find a cauldron and boil porridge day and night, we can't stop so many people from eating and drinking, all the county counties are now about to be crowded with refugees, and the little manpower brought by the county order to maintain law and order is simply not busy." ”
"The county order is too busy, isn't there still General Di? Let General Di send more people, you guys go quickly, what are you still doing? "Xiao Heng is dying.
"Oh, good." Xiao Ji Xiaowu was urged by their father, so they hurriedly went, and they didn't have time to say hello when they met Lian Hao.
"Didn't you say more than 100,000 people? Why is it suddenly hundreds of thousands? Leng Yue looked at Di Jie.
Di Jie didn't know what was going on, so he said, "When I went to look for you, there were more than 100,000 people just opening the city gate. ”
"Lord Xiao." Lian Hao saw that Yueniang and Di Jie were still struggling with the number of people, so he stepped forward, and after saluting Xiao Heng, he asked, "Why are there so many refugees?" ”
"I don't know what's going on, this morning there was a sudden influx of refugees for a long time, and until now there is still a steady stream of refugees entering the city, such a huge number of people, it is not enough to use all the cauldrons in Zhongshan County to relieve refugees." Xiao Heng had never encountered such a headache, and he had already messed up.
"So what can we do?" Lian Hao asked.
"You ......" Xiao Heng's head was blown up, "Lian Hao, you and General Di will go to the tent that is responsible for the security of the county seat and the resettlement of refugees." ”
"There are hundreds of thousands of tents, not to mention I don't know where to build, and we don't have so many tents." Leng Yue felt that this arrangement was inappropriate.
Xiao Heng ran out of ideas, so he asked Leng Yue: "Yueniang, do you have a good arrangement for rehousing refugees?" ”
Leng Yue thought for a while and said: "In this way, let's distribute these refugees everywhere, if they are all stranded in the county seat, it will also be overcrowded, what do you think?" ”
"Everywhere?" Xiao Heng thought for a while and said, "It's good, but the refugees are too scattered and difficult to manage." ”
Leng Yue said: "What is the management, they are all refugees who have suffered from the war, they will be very grateful if they can have a bite to eat and a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but they are just resettled everywhere, I am afraid that some families will not accept them, this work is not easy to do." ”
"It's better to mobilize all the people around the county to work together to help these refugees tide over the difficulties than a few of us helping them, Lord Xiao, what do you think?"
"It's a good idea." Xiao Heng felt that it was feasible and said: "If someone is unwilling to accept it, then we are not reluctant, we can help those who can, as long as the refugees who have poured in are well settled everywhere, the overcrowding in the county is reduced, and we will find a way for the remaining refugees." ”
"Then let Lian Hao and General Di arrange it." Xiao Heng couldn't think of any good ideas, the top priority now is not to let all the refugees in Zhongshan County crowd the streets and alleys, up to now, the streets of Zhongshan County are not to mention the stalls, and not even a single shop dares to open the door.
"In this way, I will first take 2,000 people back to Miaoshan Village and let the village chief resettle, and then Lord Xiao will call the village chiefs and townships from all over the country, and let them all bring some refugees back to the village for resettlement, such a large state and ten counties, not to mention these hundreds of thousands of refugees, even millions, we can also tolerate it." Leng Yue felt that the sudden influx of refugees into Zhongshan County was a good thing.
"Okay, that's it." Xiao Heng finally stopped having a headache, "I'm going to ask the county commander to send someone to call the village chiefs from all over the country to discuss the resettlement of refugees." ”
With the cooperation of the village chief and the villagers of Miaoshan Village, the 2,000 refugees brought back from Zhongshan County were quickly resettled, and the original dozens of households in Miaoshan Village grew to several hundred in one day.
In front of all the village heads, the county magistrate Shangguan praised the righteous deeds of the village chief of Miaoshan Village, and someone was the first to take the lead, and soon these village chiefs also followed suit, and the resettlement of refugees was quickly and properly arranged as soon as possible.
"Father, you said that Yueniang is a woman, how can she understand so many things?" Xiaoji has been busy for so many days, and he can finally take a breath.
"Didn't you always think that Yueniang was capable? Why does this question that the moon girl is coming? Xiao Heng let go of the big stone in his heart for several days and joked with Xiao Ji.
"But Yueniang's ability is a little unreasonable." Is it normal for a female streamer to be able to solve a problem that even he and his father can't solve?
"It's unreasonable, and Ji'er, have you thought of one thing? That is, after these hundreds of thousands of refugees are settled, what will they eat? Guess what Yueniang said? Xiao Heng's eyes were full of admiration for Yue Niang's smile.
"How?" Although Xiao Ji knew that Yueniang would have a good way, he didn't know how Yueniang planned it, only that Yueniang asked them to mobilize all the farmers in this area of Zhongshan County to plant autumn rice, but they all knew that this autumn rice was impossible to grow.
He also talked to his father about this, and it is good to raise horses for autumn rice that cannot be grown.
Xiao Heng told Xiao Ji with admiration: "Yueniang said that when the frost falls in autumn, cover the field with oil film paper, and the frost-proof autumn rice will grow naturally, not only will the people in the ten counties of this state not starve, but also the hundreds of thousands of refugees we have resettled also have food to eat. ”
"Frost protection of oil film paper? What does Yueniang think? Xiao Ji couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Yueniang said that she just thought about it according to the practice of Da Pengcai, Ji'er, do you know what Da Peng Cai is?" Xiao Heng consulted a lot of books, but he couldn't find any records about Da Pengcai.
"I don't know." What canopy? I've never heard of it.
"Father is more and more suspicious of who this Yueniang is." Xiao Heng still asked Yueniang herself another day, how did she think of these things.
"Yueniang is really amazing, not only will she go into the mountains to hunt, but she will also run her own business, now she can easily handle even the people's plans, father, do you say that Yueniang still has something she can't do?" Xiaoji admired Yueniang from the heart.
"A woman can understand so much, far more than us men, what else do you think she can't?" Xiao Heng smiled and said, "If you have time, you can invite Yueniang and Lian Hao to come to the house for a light meal." ”
"Yes, father." Xiao Ji responded.
"Lian Hao, do you want to help my brother expand the establishment of the Tiger Camp Army and the Dragon and Lion Army?" Leng Yue pushed and was about to fall apart, Lian Hao asked.
"Think, how to expand?" Lian Hao was tired and weak to reply.
Leng Yue sat up straight and gave Lian Hao an idea: "You can recruit soldiers with fields, as long as one of these refugees is willing to be a soldier, how about sending two acres of fertile land?" ”
"Okay, when I'm resting, I'll talk to your brother and Lord Xiao about it." Lian Hao fell asleep as he spoke.
Palace!
The emperor was having a hearty time with his favorite concubine, and suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door, which frightened the emperor on the spot, "Who is outside to disturb me, drag me out and behead me." ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is a minion." The people outside cried to the emperor in the palace and cried: "Princess Luxuan, she was captured by the Liao army, your majesty, you quickly find a way to rescue Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
"What?" The emperor hurriedly got dressed, opened the door and grabbed the eunuch who reported the news and asked, "The imperial sister was arrested by the Liao army?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch who reported the news cried and nodded violently, and took out the letter that the prince of the Liao army asked him to bring back from his body: "Your Majesty, this is the salvation proposed by the prince of the Liao army, he said that if the emperor does not agree, he will bring the head of Her Royal Highness the princess to the emperor." ”
The emperor opened the envelope, and after reading it, his face changed, and he muttered: "How can I exchange two states for the life of the imperial sister?" ”
Two states, that is most of the northwest region, let the two states, the Liao army and the capital are only a few hundred miles away, isn't the capital in danger?
"Your Majesty, you must not." In the early dynasty, none of the civil and military officials agreed to exchange the two states for Princess Luxuan.
"But that must be my imperial sister." The emperor was still reluctant to Princess Luxuan, so he asked the civil and military officials: "Do you have a good way to rescue the imperial sister without ceding the two states?" ”
The civil and military officials below shook their heads, and no one could think of any good way.
"You say, I summoned General Di to come back, will he come back to defeat the Liao army for me and rescue my imperial sister?" The emperor was not sure that his holy decree would be able to summon General Di back, so he asked the civil and military officials.
Lord Yin Qian of Jingzhao Mansion sneered, a month ago, Lord Zhu asked the emperor to reuse Lord Xiao, and the emperor actually slaughtered Lord Zhu's mansion, if he hadn't left Lord Zhu in his mansion, I was afraid that Lord Zhu would not be spared, and now above the court, who would say anything more.
"What do I want you to do?" Seeing that the ministers below were silent, the emperor angrily picked up the teacup on the royal table and threw it at the minister.
"Your Majesty, stop your anger!" The ministers knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to dissipate his anger, and everyone was afraid that the emperor would be angry with him, and then he would end up with a full house of beheadings.
Seeing that the ministers were frightened, Duke De said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you didn't rest well last night, why don't the emperor retreat to the apse to rest." ”
The emperor also felt that it was not interesting to go to the court early, so he shook his hand and retreated.
"Your Majesty, you take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger, the emperor and the princess have been dependent on each other since childhood, how can the slave not know the emperor's heart to save the princess." Father-in-law De handed over the dried tea and said with deep feelings.
"The imperial sister also went to fight the Liao army for me, and now that she is defeated and captured, how can I not care about the reason, but the thief of the Liao army, the lion, opened his mouth widely, and actually asked me to exchange two states for the imperial sister, two states, how can I be reluctant." The emperor had no intention of drinking tea, grabbing his head and talking nonsense.
"Didn't the emperor want to come back like General Di Jiedi? Then the emperor will make an order. "Father-in-law De supports the emperor's way.
"What if General Di doesn't come back? Isn't my imperial sister more dangerous? "He asked Lian Hao to kill Xiao Heng's family and that Shen Yueniang, all of them were resisted, this time he called, Di Jie is now obeying Liu Linzhi's orders, will he obey the order?
"Then the emperor will personally invite him, and the emperor will deign to it, and he is not afraid that Di Jie will not come back." Father-in-law De grew up watching the emperor and Princess Luxuan, so he was naturally reluctant to let Princess Luxuan die at the hands of the Liao army.
"You asked me to invite me personally? Father-in-law, what kind of good idea is this? Di Jie is just a lieutenant of Wupin, is he worthy? "The emperor can't get off the shelf.
"If the emperor doesn't invite in person, Princess Luxuan will be in danger, Your Majesty, are you willing to let Her Royal Highness the princess be killed by the Liao army?" Gonggong De also knew that it was very difficult for the emperor to go to Zhongshan County to invite General Di, but the form was forced, and the emperor could only suffer this grievance, "Your Majesty, you don't have to condescend first, wait for General Di to rescue Her Royal Highness the princess and defeat the Liao army, the society will be stable, and the emperor will kill a group of traitors in Zhongshan County, and give the emperor anger, but now it is imperative that we rescue Her Royal Highness the princess first." ”
"But ......," the emperor said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you." ”
On the second day, the emperor's guard of honor went out of the capital, and the people in the capital cheered.
"I heard that the emperor is going to Zhongshan County to invite Lord Xiao and General Lian to enter the court."
"Yes, how could the emperor remove Lord Xiao from his post before, Lord Xiao is a good official."
"In the past, when Lord Xiao was the head of the six departments in the court, Lord Xiao did not work hard for the court, and the emperor was even more confused."
"If the emperor hadn't removed Lord Xiao's family, even the general wouldn't have rebelled, and if the general hadn't rebelled, how could there be the current war?"
"This emperor of the Xiao family is really not as good as the generation."
"Alas, I hope that Lord Xiao and they will be able to save the war on the border after they return to the DPRK."
"I hope so."
The people all hope in their hearts that the emperor can invite Lord Xiao and the generals back to turn the tide, so that they can return to a peaceful and prosperous world.
Under the gate of Zhongshan County, Gonggong De shook off the dust and shouted to the city gate in his sharp voice: "The emperor is driving, wait for the city to open the city to greet you." ”
"The emperor is here?" When the guards guarding the city heard the emperor, they all panicked.
"Hurry up and report to General Di!" The guards guarding the city asked them to hurry up and call the general.
"Why haven't you opened the city gates?" The emperor waited a little impatiently.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, these little Luo Luo who are guarding the city don't dare to make up their minds, so they will ask General Di to greet the emperor in person." Father-in-law De replied respectfully.
"General, General!" The guards guarding the city knocked on General Di's residence and said in a panic: "General, the emperor...... The emperor is here. ”
"Your Majesty?" Di Jie hurriedly dressed, "Let's go, follow me to meet the emperor's holy car." ”
