Chapter 230: The State of Etiquette
"Do you really think I can't do anything with your hundreds of thousands of refugees?"
The leader of the scholars said: "I heard that the Great Wei is a big country, a state of etiquette, and it is claimed that everyone who comes is a guest, and we also come here because of this name, why do you blame us?"
What's more, our Wu State is also Han in nature, and Dawei is also Han Chinese, so why is it too anxious to fry each other from the same root? Shouldn't Da Wei help us? ”
Li Xingchen looked at him indifferently for a few seconds, and said, "Since this is the case, then you should abide by the laws of the Great Wei and follow the host, why should you oppose the guest?" ”
"Isn't that going back to the old question?" The leader of the scholars arched his hand and said: "So many of us have been coming to Dawei for a while, and Dawei has ignored us and others, and sent troops to shout and kill if there is a slight mistake."
We are also human beings and have human rights, and when we encounter danger, we naturally have to resist, which is really a helpless move, and I hope that the three princes will atone for their sins. ”
Li Xingchen held back his anger, "If I now order someone to set up a refugee camp outside the capital and ask you to leave this place immediately, are you willing?" ”
Originally, these leaders still wanted to have a great achievement, but yesterday the Lingzhou army settled the 10,000 refugees without losing one person, proving that his refugees are only too many in number, and they are actually vulnerable.
Once the fight starts, it will immediately collapse.
In addition, the vast majority of refugees don't want to risk their lives to revolt and rebel at all, so last night, these leaders discussed it carefully, if Great Wei can settle them well and solve their food and clothing problems, it doesn't matter if they leave. ”
At this time, Dahan said: "If the third prince has the sincerity to solve the problem, then of course we are willing to fully cooperate."
But we also have some worries, if the three princes can solve it, we will listen to you for everything. ”
"Say, what's the worries?" Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
"The grain we robbed in these merchants will not be returned, I hope the three princes can understand, after all, the people take food as the sky, and the robbery has already been grabbed, and there is no reason to return it."
Li Xingchen twitched the corners of his mouth, he had already robbed it, and there was no reason to return it? How else can this man say so high-sounding?
But since he was here to negotiate, Li Xingchen had long expected that they would say this, so he nodded in agreement.
"You can not return the grain, but the gold and silver treasures you have stolen from the major merchants and the people must be returned, otherwise this matter will not be discussed."
The big man turned his head and discussed softly with the other leaders for a moment, then came back and said, "Okay, except for the grain, everything else will be returned." But there is one more worry.
That is, there are more than 300,000 refugees in total, and they have to eat every day. If the three princes can guarantee that we will not be hungry and full, we can guarantee that we will never set foot in the capital again, and the capital will not be chaotic again. ”
"I don't need you to say it, I know it."
The people live on food, and it is the same everywhere.
If the problem of people's livelihood is solved, nothing will happen, and once the people are hungry, there will be all kinds of incidents.
"The three princes, when can we start evacuating?" The scholar leader laughed.
"Two hours later." Li Xingchen turned the horse's head and left, and after taking a few steps, he stopped the horse and turned back to warn.
"I say it one last time, remember the promise that everything but food will remain in the city, and when you go out, soldiers will check it, and if you find anything other than food, you will be killed."
Li Xingchen looked very domineering when he said this, and more than a dozen leaders were shocked, and after watching his back leave the Golden Bird Square, the other small leaders behind him surrounded him and said gossipingly.
"The third prince kills people like hemp, can you believe his words?"
"It's one thing to kill people like hemp, if he doesn't have the heart to solve the refugee problem, he just sends troops to encircle and suppress all of us.
Now that he is here, prove that he will not abuse force.
And he is a person who is famous all over the world, how could he ruin his reputation for a little food.
As long as he says that he will settle us properly, he will definitely do it. ”
"Okay, anyway, it's come to this point, if there are no three princes in the capital, we may have already attacked the palace by now, hey."
"If you have it, hurry back and inform your team, except for food, you are not allowed to take a stitch or thread, if you are found by the soldiers, you will really be killed."
After returning to the newspaper field, Li Xingchen ordered Dugu Ling and Yuan Wanshan to immediately send the materials stored in the capital, such as marching tents and quilts, to the Lingzhou army to build an open space outside the capital for the refugees to use.
However, these supplies were far from enough for the 300,000 refugees, so they could only forcibly destroy the grain city, find military warehouses, and help them all out of the city, so as to support a temporary residence for all the refugees.
When the prince got the news, he was furious in his heart, and immediately took his own soldiers to the newspaper to question.
"Li Xingchen, Li Xingchen, you are so bold, you dare to take Lingzhou County to the capital privately, do you want to commit the following crimes?"
Li Xingchen looked at him contemptuously, "Where did you start with this?" First of all, Princess Celestia lied to me. Secondly, your imperial court did not make arrangements for hundreds of thousands of refugees, causing the people of Great Wei to suffer from refugees, and now you still have the face to come and question me?
The main thing is, what can you do to me? What can I do? ”
Li Xingchen stood up arrogantly and looked at him condescendingly.
He was already half a head taller than the prince, and coupled with the awe-inspiring momentum on his body, the prince was frightened and took several steps back.
Dugu Ling sneered: "It's nothing more than the crown prince of the dynasty!" ”
The prince was severely humiliated by these words, and gritted his teeth and glared at Li Xingchen.
"You are rebellious, it is your fault to bring the Lingzhou army into the capital without permission, the eldest sister has ordered the soldiers to block all the city gates, how did you get in?
Did all the soldiers at the city gate be killed by your Lingzhou army? ”
Dugu Ling looked at him like an idiot, "Using the Tiger Talisman can indeed mobilize the army, but the army's spirit is unstable, especially after seeing what you did indifferently, do you think those warriors are convinced of you?"
As soon as they saw General Yuan bringing 10,000 Lingzhou troops to come, they immediately opened the city gate and let us enter and leave freely.
Prince, Prince, your temporary throne is not justified, imprisoning the emperor Lao'er and committing crimes, and talking about others?
"General Yuan, arrest him." Li Xingchen suddenly burst out.
"Li Xingchen, what do you want to do?" The prince's pupils shrank sharply, and he was terrified.
Yuan Wanshan sneered, and a hand knife hit the back of the prince's neck, and the person immediately fell to the ground.
The guards brought by the prince pulled out their matching knives, and Li Xingchen glanced at them indifferently.
"I don't want to hurt you, let's go!"
