Chapter Twenty-Seven: Water Can Overturn a Boat It Can Also Carry a Boat
When the old man saw that this general was going to move seriously, he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Please also ask the general to calm his anger, our family's Tiesheng injuries were caused by themselves, and we can't blame them all." ”
"Old man, what do you want me to do? It's all up to you. ”
"Our family is small, I implore the general to help others, you see that the rain has no sign of stopping, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid most people won't be able to stand it today."
"Hmm."
Chongzhen thought about it, then retracted what he had just said, and re-ordered the entourage, each of them obeyed the order and left.
"Cheng'en, don't forget to ask Bo to bring everyone over first."
"Yes."
Chongzhen turned over and dismounted, wanting to walk side by side with the two, the old man couldn't even say anything, and Tie Sheng shook his head anxiously.
"This matter is all caused by my mishandling, why am I embarrassed to ride alone?" So, the three of them walked together in the rain.
As soon as he entered the refugee group, countless pairs of blank eyes stared at Chongzhen, as if pricked by a needle.
Chongzhen looked around, tens of thousands of people were placed in the open space, and the canopy that could hide from the rain was crowded with people, and those who had nowhere to hide were either cowering and hugging in a ball, or sleeping on the ground with their eyes closed, and the situation was miserable.
On the way here, Chongzhen learned from the old man that his group of refugees came from the foot of the Suzhen Mountain in the east of Datong Prefecture, and the people in the village were all surnamed Chen, and the old Chen Tou was both the chief of the village and the patriarch.
"Old man, greet the men of your clan, let's help move the women and children to the house first."
Lao Chen cleared his throat and called on the villagers to help, and the refugees from other villages around him were in high spirits when they heard this, and they all volunteered to join in.
"Walk in a line, okay, that's all!."
"Old man, there is a person lying on the ground who can't move, shouting to carry it away, quickly!"
"Tie Sheng, take a few people to the back and tell those restless people who dare to mess around with Lao Tzu to cut off their heads!"
The battle of tens of thousands of people is not afraid of slowness or chaos, and some refugees who are far away cannot take their turn for the time being, so they can only wait in place.
But now that there is a place to go, who would like to be drenched in more rain, and a number of bold and bold people took the lead in shouting and coaxing, throwing things into the crowd in front of them, causing a lot of commotion.
Lao Chen Tou saw the movement in the distance, and felt uneasy, and trotted to Chongzhen's side to ask what to do.
"Ignore them first, just lead the team like this, give priority to gathering all the sick numbers in one room, and then women, children, old and weak, if anyone dares to cut in line, call me out."
When the old man heard this, he called the others to take their usual farming things to maintain order in the queue.
"Your Majesty! Bo came first. ”
Chongzhen looked back, and it was Wang Chengen who led Yang Boxian and the people from the regimental training camp to arrive first.
At this time, it was not the time for brothers to greet each other, Chongzhen directly explained the matter, and asked Wang and Yang to immediately lead the team to the other side to transfer the refugees, and by the way, they took the lead in making trouble.
Then Sun Xuanhuai, who was in the government to deal with civil affairs, saw Chen Zhuo hurriedly come to say that His Majesty wanted to see him, and after asking the reason, he understood what to do. He immediately called on all households in the city to donate clothes and mattresses, allocated some of the newly stored grain, and led the people's carts to the palace of the king.
The number of people gradually increased, the speed of transfer became faster and faster, and more than a dozen troublemakers with blue noses and swollen faces were dragged out by Yang Boxian and others, and the riots among the refugees were also quelled.
Although Chongzhen did not summon Jiang Hao to come, including Chen Zhuo, the soldiers arranged by Chongzhen's side were all his cronies, and the news soon reached his ears.
Jiang Xuan heard about this on the side, and the two brothers quarreled.
"What's the use of complaining about me? It's raining all day, what do you have to do with me, isn't it normal to forget about busy military affairs? In Jiang Jiu's eyes, he was not wrong.
"Selfish!" Jiang Xuan knew that he couldn't please him, so he said four words and left angrily.
Jiang Hao sat on the chair and rubbed the armrests. It's only been two days, and there have been so many bad things, and the emperor didn't even ask himself to blame, if it was in the past.....
Anyway, leave one hand to observe and observe, if there is a change in the future, you can also get out of the whole body.
After thinking about it, he called the soldiers who reported to him next to him, and told him in his ear.
Acting royal mansion.
"Come on, all line up, get porridge according to the number, one bowl per person."
A large cauldron was set up in the corridor in the middle of the house, hot porridge was boiling in the pot, the people were distributing food to the refugees, Chongzhen was standing aside with his chest in his arms and watching, and Sun Xuanhuai led several doctors out of the ward.
"Your Majesty, some individuals are weak, and the damp evil is too deep inside, and I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the sky. If the situation is still good, the doctor prescribed a dose of Guizhi soup, which can be used to dispel the cold and evil in the surface, and the minister will go back with the doctors to grab the medicine. ”
"Okay, good guys."
The doctors hugged their fists and thanked them, and the old clothes, sweat towels, and old bedding brought by the people were also distributed.
It's night, and Chongzhen feels that he doesn't have enough time. Suddenly, the hem of the dress seemed to be pulled, and when I looked down, I saw that it was a little girl who had come to pull her, as if she had something to say.
"Uncle, this is for you." The little girl took out a rattle from behind her and raised her little hand to hand it to Chongzhen.
"Uncle, what are you playing?" Chongzhen squatted down and pinched the grip of the rattle and asked.
The little girl looked at her favorite toy a little reluctantly, then shook her head again, and said, "Mother said, uncle is our life-saving benefactor, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated." ”
Seeing the little girl's resolute expression, Chongzhen took the rattle and hung it on her waist, the little girl happily clapped her hands and jumped on the spot, Chongzhen also danced with her, the rattle shook with it, and two small beads knocked on the drum surface, "dong dong" sounded.
On the way back, every refugee who saw Chongzhen respectfully thanked him, Chongzhen smiled and agreed one by one, this move is the true feelings of the people, and the common people in the past to meet the Son of Heaven is far different, this is the real people's desire.
Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, Zhu Mingxia died in the civil unrest is good, but as long as he is sincere for the people, the water that capsizes the boat can also save the boat.
At the gate of the palace, Chongzhen met Jiang Xuan, who led the family to come, and as soon as the two met, Jiang Xuan dismounted and knelt down to worship and ask the king for his guilt.
This matter has nothing to do with him, how could Chongzhen blame him, knowing that he was interceding for his brother, Chongzhen, who had no intention of pursuing it, said: "Jiang Xuan, what are you guilty of?" Hurry up, please. ”
Jiang Xuan said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to allow lowly people to protect the civilians of the palace and atone for their sins." ”
"In that case, let it be up to you."
With Chongzhen's permission, Jiang Xuan immediately ordered Jiading to replace the original guards. Jiang Xuan brought all the soldiers in armor, Chongzhen knew in his heart that these were his private soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved to see his meticulous appearance.
Compared with Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xuan, the former attaches great importance to self-interest and erosive military discipline, just like a warlord. The latter got the true inheritance of his general, a pure heart, loyal to the liver and courage, and thus made a judgment.
In this regard, Chongzhen already had some calculations in his heart.
"Acher!" I sneezed, and I didn't get drenched in the rain that day, I'm afraid it's not a cold.
