Chapter 83: The Right to Be Born
"That's it, Cheng Qian is the prince after all, and it's normal to have a eunuch waiting by your side, so follow your heart, yes."
After listening to Zhang Zheng's words, Li Shimin pondered for a while.
finally rubbed his eyebrows, but agreed to Zhang Zheng's request.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and the minister will retire."
Zhang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thanked him in his mouth.
Then he consciously straightened his waist and turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
Out of the Taiji Palace, and then out of the imperial city, is the central axis of Chang'an, Suzaku Street.
The carriages and horses of the Kokufu were already waiting on Suzaku Street.
Liu San and Chen Yu led more than a hundred heavily armed guards of the Guogong Mansion, scattered in every corner of the surrounding area.
For fear that an assassin would come out of nowhere and end up killing Zhang Zheng.
Zhang Zheng did not dissuade him, now that it is a very difficult season, there is no big mistake in being careful.
I pulled over a small guy and asked my mother how happy she lived in the courtyard outside the city.
Zhang Zheng didn't plan to go back to the mansion on Suzaku Street, but stepped into the carriage and led a group of people towards the Weinan Courtyard.
As for the Yellow Gate sent by Li Shimin to deliver the message, let them run a little longer and exercise their bodies.
Anyway, they usually don't have much opportunity to exercise in the palace, Zhang Zheng feels that he has done a good deed, and those eunuchs should thank him.
Just after Zhang Zheng's carriage left the Mingde Gate, the little yellow gate in the palace also stepped out of the Taiji Palace with two flying cavalry soldiers.
I came to the residence of Zou Guogong in the middle of Suzaku Street.
When he stepped into the Zou Guo Mansion, he learned that Zhang Zheng did not return to the house at all, but went to the Weinan Courtyard.
The housekeeper Lao Zhou kindly reminded the little yellow door and the two flying cavalry soldiers.
If you chase the horse now, maybe you can catch up with Zhang Zheng's carriage and horse outside the city.
Xiao Huangmen, who passed the message, greeted Zhang Zheng's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart.
He's just a little eunuch who doesn't know how to ride a horse.
I had to look at the two flying cavalry soldiers with a sad face.
The two soldiers didn't complain, anyway, they led three horses when they came.
Seeing that Xiao Huangmen was about to cry, he carried him to the back of one of the horses, made him hold the saddle steadily, and gave him a whip towards the horse's buttocks.
Then the two stepped on the war horse, ignoring Xiao Huangmen's frightened expression, and rushed in the direction of Weinan.
And Zhang Zheng naturally didn't know about these things.
Now because of the impact of the locust plague, there are not many people on the official roads outside the city.
The farmland on both sides of the official road and the grass and trees on the hill in the distance are bare. From time to time, a field of locusts rises.
From time to time, there was a sound of "pop, pop" under the wheels of the carriage, which was the popping sound of the locusts that had not had time to fly away when the wheels of the carriage had been crushed.
Zhang Zheng, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
On both sides of the official road, there is a dilapidated and depressed and dry scene.
It is completely different from the scenery of the mountains and rivers reflected in the towers when I invited Ju Wentai to dinner a month ago.
Zhang Zheng's lips pursed tightly.
No matter how much preparation he and Li Er made, in the face of such a disaster, they were still unable to do it after all.
There are still people who starve to death in this locust plague, and there are also people who have been in this locust plague, and a good family has fallen apart, and they have no choice but to leave their homes.
Although the number is much smaller than in history, there is a yes.
After all, these meat eaters still can't do enough.
"Alas!"
Zhang Zheng sighed, closed the curtain, and couldn't bear to look at this desolate and depressed land again.
Chen Yu outside the window seemed to know what Zhang Zheng was thinking.
whispered to the curtain: "Shaolangjun, there are a lot fewer locusts now, and in the first few days, it is not an exaggeration to say that it covers the sky and the sun.
Fortunately, His Majesty and Shao Langjun did their best to get so much food in advance.
came up with a way to work for relief, which ensured that Datang did not starve to death due to the locust plague this time.
Otherwise, I am afraid that this year's great famine will cause many people to starve to death.
This is all the credit of Shao Langjun and His Majesty, and it is the great merit of countless living people. ”
"Alas~"
Zhang Zheng didn't reply, and let out a long sigh again.
Merit, merit or something, Zhang Zheng doesn't care.
Zhang Zheng just thinks that if you are born as a human being, you should live a human life.
At the very least, it is a natural right to have a full stomach.
"Okay, let's go, I've been in prison for so many days, and I've been homesick for a long time."
Zhang Zheng said something more to the window, Chen Yu said.
Then I began to close my eyes and recuperate, trying not to think about the scenes of corpses strewn all over the field.
With the continuous popping sound under the wheels, the carriage slowly drove into the village named Liujia Zhuangzi, which was actually Zhangjia Zhuangzi.
The people in the courtyard seemed to have known that Zhang Zheng would be back today.
A large brazier was prepared at the entrance of the courtyard early.
Zhang Zheng smiled reluctantly, but still raised his foot and stepped over the brazier.
It's auspicious, Zhang Zheng won't brush everyone's kindness.
Yuan sat in the middle hall of the front yard, and when he saw his youngest son coming back, his face showed a little excitement.
I wanted to stand up, but I seemed to remember something, so I could only sit restless and wait.
Zhang Zheng knows why, Datang governs the country with filial piety, and filial piety comes first.
Before the children salute, how can there be any reason for parents to stand up and greet each other.
Respectfully knelt down in front of the Yuan clan and kowtowed to ask for guilt.
"The mother forgives her sins, and the child is unfilial, which worries the mother."
After Zhang Zheng kowtowed three heads, Yuan got up and stepped into the hall to help Zhang Zheng up, with tears faintly flashing in his eyes.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, let Weiniang see, ouch my baby son, lost weight, the prison of Dali Temple, life is not good, I have suffered a lot......"
Zhang Zheng looked at his hands that had not seen the sun for ten days and half a month, and did not exercise, but looked more and more white and fleshy, and estimated that his face was the same.
I don't understand where the old lady saw that she was black and thin.
However, as parents, they are always worried that their children will suffer losses outside.
"How can the child go to prison to avoid trouble, but not really go to prison.
The jailer of Dali Temple is better than our family to serve people, the child is inside, the treatment is more comfortable than the emperor Lao Tzu, and the clothes come to reach out and eat to open the mouth.
You see, the fact that children are raised for nothing is proof of this. ”
Zhang Zheng said with a hippie smile, which made Yuan angry and funny.
"Okay, return to the emperor Lao Tzu, let Your Majesty hear that you are guilty of a big disrespect, I let Lu Yi and Lu Zhu'er boil hot water, and go to bathe and wash the bad luck first."
Yuan's was about to fight, but in the end, he just touched the head of his son, who was a head taller than him, and said softly, before the love was overflowing.
"Okay, boy, let's go."
Although Zhang Zheng didn't feel that he had any bad luck in him, after all, this was his mother's kindness, and Zhang Zheng didn't want to refuse.
Zhang Zheng said goodbye to his mother and left the front hall, and was about to go to the backyard to bathe.
In the front yard, Liu Er's shout suddenly came: "Shaolangjun, there is an angel in the palace." ”
