Although he was too lazy to look at the second master's errands, Shi Jin still stood far away with Liu Yi in the end.

Twelve wooden shelves were erected in the place where the bodies were cremated, and an unrecognizable corpse was scooped up from the pit where the rain had still accumulated, and placed upright on the wooden shelves. At that moment, Shi Jin saw that the countless survivors of the disaster had all knelt down.

From Shi Jin's side, I couldn't hear any crying, and no one made trouble. However, the sorrow between heaven and earth seems to be gathered in one place, silently suppressing heavy thoughts and sorrows, and even the days are dimmed.

Liu Yi didn't have anything to do in the end, although she saw that scene from afar, she still buried her head on Shi Jin's shoulder, and didn't dare to turn her head to look.

Twelve torches wrapped in oilcloth were lit gradually, and soldiers wore scarves and held torches around the wooden frames. The fifth prince struggled out of the wheelchair, supporting the back of the wheelchair to support his body, as if he was praying for an obituary. The voice also appeared and disappeared with the wind, and occasionally one or two sentences came over, with some desolation and pathos, which led people to tears.

Shi Jin's eyes blurred suddenly.

That kind of emotion is indescribable, and my heart seems to be grabbed by a hand, which is strange and sad.

She suddenly didn't want to look at it anymore, and was about to turn around and leave with Liu Yi, but she saw Doctor He standing not far from her at some point.

His piercing eyes swept away her red circles, and then turned his head to continue to look at the desolation in the distance.

Shi Jin's footsteps were only paused, and he took Liu Yi and left.

Behind them, flames rose into the sky, sweeping away the once vivid shadows......

.

The fire burned for three days.

Although the source of the plague was controlled, the hearts of the five princes had not been relieved from that desolation and sorrow for a long time.

He sat in a wheelchair, and his upper body, which used to be quite straight, was also a little rickety.

Compared to these living lives, the factional struggle in the court looked like a joke.

Everyone is for their own selfish interests, and who can open their eyes to this purgatory on earth?

His voice was a little hoarse, and he lowered his eyes and asked Qi Mojing beside him, "How to deal with the bandits in Fanlong Mountain?" ”

Qi Mojing stood aside, his body as tall as a pine. No matter when and where, he seems to be able to hold up a piece of the world, "Time is pressing, just one word, bomb." ”

The five princes were in urgent need of silver and two for disaster relief, so he blew up Fanlong Mountain.

Rao is fifth prince was mentally prepared, but he was still taken aback by his boldness. He couldn't help but smile wryly, "Fanlongshan, it is said to be a bandit, but it is just a private soldier raised by the second brother." If you blow up, he's afraid he's going to hate the cavalry. ”

"But," he added, "the king will share it with you." ”

Qi Mojing's eyes showed some warmth, and his voice warmed up, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty can still bear it." ”

The two had a tacit understanding that they did not talk about this topic again, but only discussed and determined the next disaster relief arrangements one by one.

"So, the most urgent thing at the moment is the timber, the stones, and the coals for the construction of the houses. The most difficult time has passed, and the victims of the disaster are numerous, and His Highness can write to the nearest prefectures, towns, prefectures, and counties, so that these local officials are responsible for accepting a group of disaster victims, and the rest will be placed in newly built houses, barely avoiding this cold winter. Qi Mojing said.

"Wood, stones, coals...... The expenses were quite large, and the previous disaster relief silver taels also purchased grain, herbs, cotton clothes and other things from Xiangyang. If you want to survive this winter, I'm afraid you need to ask for silver from the household. "The Fifth Prince has a headache at this point.

Although His Majesty allocated 1 million taels of silver for disaster relief, the household department cried poor, and the hundred officials each insisted on a word, and the final allocation was only 500,000 taels, and it was detained in Fanlong Mountain.

This time it is to ask for silver again, and I am afraid it will be more difficult.

"It is essential to start with the household department, and we also need to have a charter here. At present, although the victims can barely survive on relief, it is not a long-term solution. Regarding the construction of wintering houses and ditches and combing, His Highness may wish to use work for relief, hire disaster victims and make rice and noodles, so that the two sides are safe. This is one of them. ”

"If there are those who cannot work, they are allowed to borrow rice and grain from the local government, and when they have a good harvest in the coming year, they will be repaid with new rice. This is the second one. ”

"Your Majesty, exempt the nearest disaster area from paying taxes for three years, this is the third."

"The government came forward to adopt widows and lonely people, which is the fourth ......"

Every time Qi Mojing stated a statement, the eyes of the five princes lit up, and when he put out the thoughts in his heart, he couldn't help but smile with his palms, and said with his hand, "What Mr. thinks coincides with a certain one." The little Ti Cavalry Division is actually a hill in Mr. Shi's chest! ”

The two discussed the details again and again, and stayed up all night tirelessly.

.

Haojing.

It was the time of the early dynasty of the hundred officials.

The performance of the five princes is straight to the face of the sky, and it is read by the great eunuch Chang De in the court.

His voice had some of the characteristic high-pitched voices of eunuchs, which made people tremble in their hearts:

“…… The six animals are exhausted and the living mourn, crying up to Dan, and babies crying all over the field; Gradually, the sound was silent and the people who fell to the ground were all hungry and died, and then finally they were exhausted and lay down, and the fingers of their arms and the tips of their feet tended to be where Haojing was; In the twilight of the year, the weather is cold, and the people left behind are not more than half of them, and they are eaten by their children and taken clothes from their corpses, all of which make people smell and change. However, the heavens are mighty, the floods are gradually stopping, the plague is not in full swing, only the cold is unbearable, and the rest are afraid that it will be difficult to resist the erosion of wind and snow. The people of the world, all the people of Daye, so the sons and daughters have the courage to ask for 500,000 taels of silver to prepare for the wintering of the new house......"

The hall was silent.

In the silence, Emperor Tianyuan was the first to speak, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the crown prince and master Yao Zhizhang stood up and arched to the end, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the five princes put all the people first, and disaster relief people in fire and water, deserve Your Majesty's trust that day, and also see his sincerity, thank the sun and the moon, and promote His Majesty's virtue in the four seas......"

As soon as he said this, the ministers also admired it.

The prince only felt a sudden pain in his chest. He was just injured, and because of the assassination, he finally won some attention from Emperor Tianyuan, that is, he was dissatisfied with Li Linfu's case, and he was allowed to listen to the government.

At this time, I heard that Lao Wu was praised by these courtiers, and he really hated the wound in his heart.

However, the words he said were a little proud, "The fifth brother has always been fond of Fengyue, and he is indifferent to Mingzhi, but I didn't expect it to be so generous and loving to the people, ambitious, he is a son, and he is also admired in his heart, and he should take the fifth brother as an example......"

Although his words were flattering, in the end they caused Emperor Tianyuan to be impatient.

What he wants is not the praise of the courtiers, but the real support.

Seeing that Gong Qingze, the head of the household, was hiding in the corner with his neck bent, his pair of dragon eyes only swept lightly, and then took Gong Qingze out, "Gong Shangshu thinks, 500,000 taels, is it okay?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gong Qing suddenly knelt on the ground in fright, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and the 500,000 taels for the last disaster relief were also taken from the repair of the imperial tomb." Right now, even if the treasury is emptied, it can't raise a huge amount of 500,000 taels......"
