Chapter 68: Riding in the Heart of the Sea
Along the way, Li Yunqing saw the hungry and cold people, as well as their fearful eyes. Seeing this, Li Yunqing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The so-called prosperity of the people is ancient, and the death of the people is bitter. Now these people have become the people of the country, and if you don't appease them as soon as possible, you will be a real bastard.
Li Yunqing knocked on the roof of the carriage, the carriage stopped, and Yang Bin respectfully said outside the carriage: "What does the emperor command?" ”
Li Yunqing said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and go straight to Haixin Pingliangjing!" ”
Li Yunqing spoke, and the carriage sped up. Ruan knew Li Yunqing's thoughts gently, and said softly: "The emperor doesn't need to worry, now Haixin is my territory, and the aftermath will be properly handled." He looked at the wound on Li Yunqing's shoulder, and said with concern: "I rushed here from the barracks all the way, and I only changed the medicine once, and it would be bad if the wound suppurated." His brows furrowed when he said this, and his expression was extremely serious!
Li Yunqing smiled bitterly: "Okay, then change it now." ”
Li Yanyu and Ruan Qingrou hurriedly helped Li Yunqing untie his shirt, revealing the terrible gunshot wound on his shoulder. When Luochen saw the terrible wound, he couldn't help but turn pale, and asked with concern: "Where! How did you get it? Who dares to hurt my big man? ”
Ruan gently glanced at Li Yunqing when she heard this, and said helplessly: "The emperor fought against Hei Ge, the leader of the grassland rebels, and was injured by him. Seeing Luochen's brows, he couldn't help frowning, Ruan said softly: "But he died in the hands of the emperor after all, and he died a miserable death, broken bones!" ”
Luochen let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, looked at Li Yunqing with pity, and said softly: "Luochen is courageous, the emperor must take care of the dragon body, only if the emperor is healthy, my great cadre can become more and more prosperous!" ”
Li Yunqing nodded and said, "If more girls care, I won't let myself go into danger." At this point, Li Yunqing changed his words and continued: "It's a girl, won't you be punished if you follow us out like this?" ”
There was a hint of a smile between Luochen's eyebrows and said: "It's okay, the girl has a dance skill and a pipa in one hand, but the mother in the courtyard doesn't dare to say much, the emperor can rest assured." At this point, he opened the curtain and looked at the exotic scenery, turned his head to Li Yunqing and said: "Today, the blessing of the emperor has seen this exotic style, and I want to thank the emperor for his grace!" ”
Li Yunqing said playfully when he heard this: "No need to say thank you, you can get here thanks to your flower boat, thank it if you want to thank it." The three girls in the carriage of Li Yunqing's teasing words laughed coquettishly.
At this moment, the streets of Pingliangjing are quite calm, after all, they are far away from the sea, and the news of the defeat of Emperor Changping has not yet arrived. But just because the people don't know doesn't mean that others don't know. The high-ranking officials and nobles of Haixin were wiped out by the Haixin Water Army as early as a day ago, and Emperor Changping became a prisoner of Emperor Wu of the Great Qianlong.
At this moment, all the officials gathered on the Dayuan Hall of the Pingliangjing Imperial Palace, and all eyes fell on the body of the Great Prime Minister Hei Fifty-six. One of them said eagerly: "Prime Minister, you are saying that Emperor Daqian is probably coming to Pingliangjing without much effort, and we are all ministers of the dead country now, how should we deal with it?" ”
Yuan Ping's expression was extremely gloomy at this moment, and he pondered for a moment, and then said: "All the sailors have been wiped out, and now there are only 5,000 guards in Pingliang Jing, and we are all civil officials, what do you think we should do?" If you want to commit suicide by breaking your belly, this minister will not stop you, and you may not do the same! ”
Listening to Yuan Ping's words of fifty or sixty, the corners of the ministers' mouths twitched. Their faces are not very good-looking, who wants to end their lives so easily? The so-called loyalty also requires a loyal goal. Now that their spiritual pillar has been reduced to a prisoner, who should they be loyal to, and can such loyalty see great results? Now they can't even think of what the result of loyalty will be.
One of the old men, who was very old, coughed twice and said, "Great Minister, for the sake of today, the old man thinks that only by obeying Emperor Longwu can we keep our Haixin Kingdom and our poor people!" If my loyalty cannot be given to the imperial family, then it is better to give it to our lovely people. ”
Yuan Ping Fifty-six couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this: "Lord Fengye is good, we should indeed guard our people, otherwise we will have nothing left!" At this point, he looked at the other ministers, and continued in a deep voice: "Listen, open the city gate, and come with me to kneel to receive His Majesty the Great Qianlongwu Emperor!" ”
When Li Yunqing's carriage arrived at Pingliangjing, he saw many officials wearing the same color of sea clothes but hats of different colors kneeling at the city gate from a distance. When the carriage approached, Li Yunqing got out of the car, and the officials at the door shouted in pure Daqian: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, the ministers welcome the emperor's holy drive!" ”
Li Yunqing walked in front of everyone, glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the regent of the country now that there is no owner?" ”
Yuan Ping Fifty-six respectfully knelt forward, kowtowed to Li Yunqing, and said: "The subordinate Yuan Ping Fifty-six, now temporarily taking charge of Haixin's affairs, what does His Majesty the Emperor command?" The minister must be careful! ”
Li Yunqing didn't delay any longer, and continued in a deep voice: "You wait to go to the Haixin Palace with me, I have something to discuss with you." Li Yunqing stopped getting into the carriage and walked straight towards the city.
Yuan Ping Fifty-six was stunned at first when he saw this scene, but then he also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up and waited behind Li Yunqing. Li Yunqing walked on the road, looking at the puzzled eyes of the people in the city, always nodding to them gently, he hoped that his arrival would not make them feel frightened.
After walking for a while, Li Yunqing glanced at Yuan Ping Fifty-six who was following him, and said in a deep voice: "As the backbone of the ministers and the people of a country, you can't calm the emotions of the people when you encounter something, how did you become an official?!" ”
Hearing Li Yunqing's question, Yuan Ping's fifty-six body trembled and was about to kneel. Li Yunqing hurriedly stopped his actions and said in a deep voice: "This is on the street, don't kneel down at every turn, disturb the people and ask for your head!" ”
Yuan Ping nodded again and again, and said in fear: "Your Majesty the Emperor, now that the Haixin Kingdom is dead, this is a major event that collapses the earth, and I don't know how to say anything to the people for a while, so I didn't do anything, and I ask His Majesty the Emperor to forgive me!" ”
Li Yunqing frowned when he heard this: "That's it, I will give you an order later, you lead the officials to do things well, if there is any more errand, I will be the first to take your life, I believe that the people below will be more obedient, what do you think?" ”
Yuan Ping Fifty-six's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor can rest assured that the minister will do things well!" ”
When he arrived at the Haixin Palace, Li Yunqing directly entered the Dayuan Hall and sat on the chair of Emperor Changping. The ministers below lowered their heads one by one, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the silenced atmosphere. Li Yunqing glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "As you know, Emperor Haixin Changping disobeyed the holy decree and aided in the abuse, and now he is captured by me. Now, the people of Haixin are all my people. I could not bear the suffering of the people, so I did not punish you. You must quickly do your own errands, appease the people, and deal with the post-war affairs along the coast, without the slightest slackness, otherwise, I will severely punish you! ”
Yuan Ping Fifty-six was very worried about his head, and hurriedly said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the ministers must do a good job and never disappoint Your Majesty's grace!" ”
