If this Sheng Ji rice store is relying on the power of the king of Chu and wants to take the opportunity to raise the price of rice, and even coax and suppress Liang Ji, who has lowered the price of rice, this matter will be easy to do.

Because Sima Wei, the king of Chu, is Tai's younger brother. At the beginning, he was crowned King Shiping, but last year he was renamed King of Chu and was allowed by the emperor to come to Chu - his feudal country.

King Chu's mother, an aesthetic person, was originally just an ordinary palace person. Occasionally, she was lucky enough to give birth to the queen of Chu before she was canonized as a beauty. Aesthetic people are not even concubines in the palace, so they naturally have no power. Unexpectedly, as soon as her son was named the king, she connived at her family's misdeeds.

As soon as Taiyi heard the name of the King of Chu, he immediately said to Zhang Hong with an angry face, "You go and call the King of Chu." We worked hard to bring the price of rice down, but he was good, but he secretly caused trouble with his family. ”

I thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, the mother of the King of Chu, Zhen Niangniang, also came with him." Although the judge Niangniang is not famous, she seems to be a few years older than the first queen, and she is considered an old man in the palace. Let's go to the Chu Palace. ”

I listened to it too much, and I was in my arms, so I quickly changed my words and said, "You are very right, since the trial of Niangniang is in the Chu Palace, let's go on a trip in person." ”

I knew that if I could walk around, of course he couldn't ask for it. At first, King Qi and Mrs. Yang were not at ease and wanted to follow. But they followed, what else did they do? I'd like to take Tai to play on Hanyang Street.

In the end, King Qi and they went to Liang Jingren's villa, and Zhang Hong and I accompanied Tai to the palace of King Chu.

We only sat in the car for a while before getting down, and asked Zhang Hong to go with the car to inform the king of Chu first. My wife and I walked on foot with a few retinues.

The disaster on the Hanyang side was much worse than the Yangyang side, and half of the shops on the street were closed. If it's open, it's scarce. In short, it was a depressed scene.

We chose a grocery store of the same size. I went in and asked the shopkeeper, "Why are the shelves half empty?" Can't even get the goods in now? "It's not just a flood that will make people lack daily necessities to this extent, right?

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "The goods are coming, but the price is too expensive.,ap,Update the fastest. I entered, but I couldn't sell it. All the belongings here are soaked in water. The rich become poor, and the poor become nobody. ”

"No one?" I muttered in confusion.

"If you starve to death, there will be no one." The shopkeeper said nonchalantly.

I feel sad for a while, in this year of great calamity, even the dead are commonplace.

The shopkeeper looked up at us and said, "Listen to your accent." It's from the north, right? Alas, it's been a long time since I've seen a man from the north. Now people are running from the south to the north, and it is difficult for you to come to us. ”

I asked him, "Why do you have to run north?" Although the area has been flooded, the water has receded and it is still in time to plant a season of late rice. When we just walked all the way, we saw that many houses had not yet collapsed, and we could live in them as long as we cleaned them up. Isn't it better to stay at home and plant crops for harvest than to leave your homeland? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "If it's really like you say." No one will go to the ground. But now even I'm ready to go. He glanced at his shop, "Wait until I sell some more." I'll go. ”

"Why?"

"Because there will be big water here, after the big water. Then there will be the Great Plague. ”

"Who said that?" Who is so daring. Myths to confuse the public?

"I don't know, it's all going on like this anyway. I think you'll hurry back to the north. This is not a place to stay. ”

When I came out of the grocery store, my wife and I didn't speak for a long time, and our hearts were heavy.

Natural disasters have already made the imperial court overwhelmed, and if there are still people who take the opportunity to spread rumors and cause trouble, and take the opportunity to provoke civil uprising, the situation in the south is bound to be in danger.

The two of them were walking down the street wordlessly, when suddenly a surprised whisper came from their ears, "Concubine? ”

A group of people caught up from behind, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Liang Jingren.

Obviously, I'm with Tai, but I only call me, not Tai, is this still like words?

I didn't bother to talk to him, so I pulled Tai and continued to walk forward.

Liang Jingren chased after us, stopped in front of us, and only asked me, "I called you, why didn't you answer me?" ”

Because he is in the street, I can't shout at him. I had to ask him patiently, "Are the people who surrounded the yamen now disperse?" ”

"It's gone, I'll go out in person, what else can't be done."

This Liang Jingren is really very annoying, and every word he says is so inadequate. You are now in front of the concubine and the concubine, can't you be a little more modest and low-key?

I secretly glanced at Tai, and to my surprise, not only did he not get angry, but asked with a pleasant face, "What happened to those people who were arrested?" ”

Liang Jingren was also stunned. He didn't expect that he ignored Tai, and Tai took the initiative to talk to him, so he had to reply embarrassedly, "It's still closed." ”

I was a little curious, "Those people are still closed, how can the people around outside be willing to disperse?" ”

Liang Jingren smiled proudly: "Because of the minister, I made a clever plan, so I called the bottom of the kettle to draw salary." ”

I resisted the urge to punch him, and his smug smile was really not an ordinary eyesore.

He then said in a more smug voice, "Old man Sheng thinks I'm afraid of his beauty tricks, but in fact, I deliberately kept his land." There is an opponent fighting and playing, and the day is not so boring. I can't imagine that he is stupid enough to send someone to rob my rice shop! I'm sorry, the game isn't fun, I'm going to ruin it completely. ”

I'm sorry, I wanted to hit you again. This Liang Jingren can always easily make me very violent.

At this moment, a carriage came from afar, and after stopping beside us, a person jumped out of the carriage and shouted at us, "Lord, Lord, get in the car, something has happened in the palace of the king of Chu." His Royal Highness the King of Chu cried to find a short view, but the judge couldn't hold it. When I heard that the two lords were coming, I begged me to quickly take them over and persuade them. ”

I already had a vague realization of something. When I turned around and saw that Liang Jingren was sneaking away and trying to slip away, I shouted, "You stop me!" Isn't it a good thing you've done? ”

"There are too many good things that the ministers have done, such as donating money and rice, stabilizing the price of rice, and calming down the situation for the government...... And so on and so forth, the list goes on, does Her Royal Highness the Concubine want to be rewarded for meritorious deeds? ”

"You, you, you ......"

"The minister is listening."

"Zhang Hong, get up, let's go to the Chu Palace."

Try to hold your chest down and tell yourself that someone is just a matter of not seeing.

What made me even more unexpected was that after getting into the car, Tai actually said, "I like this Liang Jingren." ”

My eyes were about to bulge, "Why?" ”

Taiyi smiled and said, "He's very real." ”

"Just because he won't flatter you?"

"It's not. Nanfeng, think about it, although he is angry when he speaks, he really helps us a lot. Compared to him, those local officials, who only follow us like farts every day, actually help us, what did they actually help us? ”

Yes.

My husband is always the most perceptive, with wisdom that ordinary people can't see.
