226 Puppet Emperor
Since I ascended the throne, for more than ten years, all the big and small things in the court have been handled by the three princes, I sat on the dragon throne and took his political achievements to the civil and military officials and said that these are all good strategies that I have been pondering for a long time every day and night, my plan, my ideas, my governance policy, and my strategy for the allies......
But who knows, I am actually a blind person who doesn't understand politics, but all of this depends on the help of the three princes in secret, if it weren't for him, Daqi would have been destroyed. But I don't understand, the seat is given to him, but he doesn't sit, is there a person like him? ”
Gonggong Chen's face turned a little pale, and he was very worried: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, you are angry, and you will not be able to go to court in the future?" ”
"Hehe, Shang Chao?" A sneer, but full of sadness. "Every day before the fifth watch, the Three Princes' Mansion has sent people to report the latest events in our Great Prayer Kingdom, what happened, and how to deal with it, everyone is ready, just wait for me to take it to the court, and move my mouth with the civil and military officials, why do I feel that I am such a puppet? is not a puppet in the hands of the three princes, but a puppet of the ancestors and ancestors, why should the eldest son succeed to the throne? ”
Gonggong Chen was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "Slave."
It's a lot of mouth, the slave shouldn't mention it, the emperor, don't be angry, it's the slave who is not good, and you mentioned something that made the emperor angry? ”
Halfway through, the emperor waved his hand and said heavily: "I'm fine, get up?" ”
"Emperor Xie?" Gonggong Chen trembled and got up.
The emperor commanded: "What do the imperial doctors sent to the Second Prince's Mansion say?" Can the second prince still stand up? ”
Gonggong Chen replied: "Imperial Doctor Li said that if the second prince has the idea of committing suicide, then there is no way, if he has the courage to live, it shouldn't be difficult?" ”
Cold lips curled into an unfathomable smile, "If only I had a chance to stand up?" ”
Gonggong Chen said again: "The Three Princes' Mansion sent news, the Three Princes and Detective Fang have cracked another case, and they have persuaded the county lord to send the runaway county lord back, and the next peace matters will be handed over to the imperial court?" ”
The emperor felt guilty, "I am very grateful to the third prince for letting my only daughter go, so that he can pray for peace and kiss?" ”
Seven days ago in the middle of the night, it was a thunderstorm late night, the town of Fenghuang was the second time in ten years that there was a catastrophic flood, only a month after the last time, the middle of the night broke through several embankments in Phoenix Town, the flood seeped into the town, washed down many poor houses, and countless cries crossed the sky in the middle of the night.
Ouyang Mansion.
A cold light appeared with lightning and thunder.
A black shadow quietly entered the West Chamber, opened the room of the eldest young master of Ouyang Mansion, and walked in.
Inside the room, there is darkness that you can't see your fingers.
The light of the person's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness, and he slowly came to the side of the bed, and when he saw the handsome face on the bed, his eyes hurt, and he immediately raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it fiercely-
Suddenly, the person on the bed opened his eyes, frightened and grieved, and looked at the person in front of him even more confused, enduring the pain, "Why? ”
The dagger went a little deeper again.
Ouyang Lingfeng snorted, and then, grabbing the hand of the person who came, he slowly let go, and closed his eyes. A tear that could not be explained by the person who came slid down the corner of his eye.
Outside the house, it was still a thunderstorm, unscrupulous.
——
A month later,
Today, the sunshine in Phoenix Town is very bright, but as soon as they arrived at the city gate, Qingyue and the six of them were dumbfounded by the scene outside the city gate.
Outside the city gates, many ragged people, lying or sitting, almost all became beggars. A mother with a child is skinny, but she is still nursing her young child.
One by one, their eyes eager to survive and eager to be noticed fell on Qingyue and them.
The Great Prayer Dynasty, how prosperous and prosperous, such a thing could happen. Qing Yue couldn't help but feel heartache for the scene in front of him, and even Qi Xuan was heartbroken.
Tang Jian asked Qi Xuan, "What's the matter?" ”
Qi Xuan said: "Two months ago, there was a catastrophic flood in Fenghuang Town, and I had already sent a message to Ning Yang, asking him to directly play the imperial court in my name to allocate silver and two to relieve the disaster, why hasn't the government resettled these refugees?" ”
Qing Yue walked up to the two and said, "Along the way, I heard about some things in Phoenix Town, and I heard that a month ago, there was another flood. ”
Fu Enyan analyzed: "The flood has only been a month in the past, and it happened again, which shows that the disaster relief silver allocated by the imperial court has been lost again, even if it is not lost, how can the construction be completed and all the collapsed dams can be repaired within a month?" ”
Qing Yue said: "Our first thing is to go to the government to ask about the situation? ”
Qi Xuan walked over, picked up an elderly man, and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you, where are you all from?" Why are you here? ”
The old man was thinly dressed and looked skinny, but his eyes had a resolute look because he wanted to survive, he said: "We are all villagers on the outskirts of Fenghuang Town, two months ago, our hometown was washed away by the flood, our family was displaced, and we wanted to go into the city to avoid the flood to make a living, but the city gate just didn't open, and we people have been out for two months."
A month ago, another flood flooded the other villages outside the city, and we had to go to the city, but we have been waiting here for two months, dying and starving, and we want to ask for something to eat from the government, but the city gate will not let us in, alas? ”
Qi Xuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Didn't the imperial court set aside the silver taels to help the disaster?" Why are you still here? ”
The old man said angrily: "What kind of disaster relief silver, I can't even see a copper plate, let alone see the government take people to repair the river dam." We have eaten grass and branches, but when will the imperial court come to the rescue of us, the poor people who have been displaced? ”
The old man's words made Qi Xuan's eyes hot, and he clenched his fists, "Damn? ”
Tang Jian sighed lightly, "The imperial court has allocated the disaster relief silver taels, maybe the disaster relief silver taels have already entered the pockets of local officials after leaving the imperial court?" ”
Fu Enyan said: "Now, should we go to the government to ask carefully?" ”
Nangong Shi glanced at the city gate, only to see that the gate was closed, and on the city tower, the archers were preparing for genetic awakening at any time
"The city gate has been strictly guarded, we can't enter, and the government may also be afraid that once the city gate is opened, a large number of refugees will rush to enter, which will destroy the harmony and stability in the city?"
Qing Bao looked at Qi Xuan and asked, "Lord Wang, this batch of refugees will not last long, they must be resettled immediately, otherwise the casualty rate will increase dramatically every day." ”
Fu Enyan said: "Before we have found out the whereabouts of the disaster relief money, I am afraid that none of these refugees will be able to return their lives." ”
Qi Xuan calmed down and thought deeply for a while. After thinking about it, he took out the tiger talisman from his bosom and explained to Qingyue and them: "This is the tiger talisman, this king has secretly placed the royal army in the provinces, towns and states to prevent fluctuations, this tiger talisman can mobilize the royal army, they can bring the refugees to a safe place as soon as possible, and they can take refuge for a month." After this month, it is necessary to build a dam and restore the refugees' hometowns, otherwise the royal army will not be able to supply so many refugees with food? ”
Tang Jian said: "So far, is the only way to stabilize the refugees in Phoenix Town first?" ”
Qing Yue asked, "Lord Wang, how did you go to find your royal army?" ”
"Give the king the flute you have with you?" Qi Xuan commanded, "This king needs it now?" ”
"Oh." Qing Yue responded, then took off the flute hanging on his waist and gave it to Qi Xuan, "This is just a flute, what can it do?" ”
Tang Jian smiled, "Qingyue Qingbao, what do you think?" ”
Qi Xuan brought the flute to his lips and gently blew out a tune, a tune that everyone couldn't remember the rhythm, the tone, and the melody.
The song is very beautiful, slow and orderly, relaxed, sometimes high, sometimes low, absolutely "signal song".
His expression when he plays the flute is quiet and, of course, elegant.
The sound of the flute wafted leisurely in the ears of every refugee, and they seemed to see a bright future
。
On the city gate, a general who was observing the Quartet heard the sound of the flute, and was suddenly stunned, and secretly exclaimed: "Is it the signal of the master?" ”
"Get out of the way?" The general, who was in his early thirties, pulled away an archer, stood by the city gate, and looked down. Seeing Qi Xuan playing the flute, he immediately asked, "But there is an edict from the three princes?" ”
。 Finally seeing the knowledgeable goods, Xiangnan and they were all relieved.
Qi Xuan put down the flute, took out the tiger talisman, threw it directly at the generals at the city gate, and said loudly: "This is the tiger talisman, seeing the tiger talisman is like seeing the third prince himself?" ”
After a while, the general shouted to the people inside the city gate, "Open the gate?" ”
After two months of guarding, the city gate finally opened, and thousands of refugees began to get up and rush into the city gate.
At this moment, Qi Xuan stood at the gate of the city, blocking the entry of the refugees, and he said to everyone: "Everyone, the imperial army has taken you to a safe place to live, and you should not rush into the town blindly. Everyone is waiting here, and in a short time, you don't have to worry about being displaced. ”
The refugees were asking, "Is this true?" ”
The general, with two teams of men, walked out.
The general walked up to Qi Xuan, handed back the tiger talisman to Qi Xuan, and said respectfully: "Zhao Jing, the leader of the Wangfu Army stationed in Phoenix Town, is my lord sent by Ning Guard?" ”
Qing Yue said solemnly: "Zhao Jing, he is your top boss, cultivating your three princes, haven't you seen the three princes soon?" ”
When Zhao Jing heard this, his face was full of surprise, and he immediately threw off his military robe, knelt on one knee, and hugged his fists and said: "Humble Zhao Jing knocks to see the master, the master is a thousand years old?" ”
Qi Xuan held Zhao Jing's hand, helped him up, and said, "General Zhao doesn't need to be polite, get up?" ”
After Zhao Jing got up, he asked, "Master, why are you here?" ”
"Let's not talk about this king?" Qi Xuan looked at the group of refugees and asked him, "This king asks you, you have also seen these situations in front of you, what is going on?" ”
Zhao Jing said: "I heard that the imperial court allocated two silver taels for disaster relief, but there was no movement repeatedly
。 As the leader of the royal army of Phoenix Town, the official government of Phoenix Town did not know that in order to be able to explore these refugees, he used means to climb to the position of the general of the city gate. The government is not allowed to let the refugees in, and the humble position can only be done, because there is no master's edict, and he does not dare to mobilize the royal army? ”
