Rong He pounced on him to stop him, and he was hit several times on his head and body.

Liu Chenghuan was shrewd, and he heard a trace of concern in his voice, and protected his nephew in his arms with his backhand, admitting his mistake loudly, promising never to mess around again.

……

The emperor didn't like his son anymore, but in private, he still commended King Qi during the court discussion.

The ministers expressed their deep feelings that His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qi were worried about the country and the people, and they would definitely dedicate themselves to state affairs, fulfill their duties, and share their worries for the monarch. Long live the mountain on that day to show loyalty, the next day back to the yamen, should quarrel, should be shaken.

There is no way, the imperial court is a imperial court, and the rice is still eaten in a pot.

It is difficult for the household department and the military department, the official department and the Ministry of Works, the central government, the local government, the anti-Japanese war, and the northern defense are also difficult. A mere tens of thousands of taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket.

But King Qi's behavior made King Yong unable to sit still.

King Yong is far away in the fiefdom, his anger is trembling, as the emperor's favorite son, King Yong's vassal is only a temporary avoidance, his life is much more prosperous than King Qi, to be precise, it is glory and wealth, Zhong Ming Ding food.

But he regarded wealth as his life, and let him give away his private property to others, which was more uncomfortable than killing him. You must know that his father is addicted to alchemy but real money, Ouchi's money is burned, and it will be his turn to ascend the throne in the coming day, and he can't count on his private money?

King Yong's "far-sightedness" has begun to plan for the luxurious life after ascending the throne.

But his good brother actually took the initiative to donate silver to the imperial court?

Isn't it stupid! Isn't it full of food! Is it a panic to burn too much money! If you want to show filial piety, it's good to donate to Ouchi, what do you do if you donate it to the household?

and you will be revealed! Isn't this a roast of Lao Tzu?

This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other, what is too anxious!

After scolding his brother, King Yong still followed 50,000 taels with tears in his eyes.

On that day, the officials of the palace entered the palace to perform business, and the teacups were filled with boiled water......

Chapter 49

The two princes took the lead in donating silver to the imperial court, and the rest of the clan vassal kings in various places also had to bleed, a total of 200,000 taels of silver to the household department, and the emperor instructed the household department, This money is all used for disaster relief, of course, after the layers are decentralized, there are many people who can really use it.

At the beginning of August, the Emperor sent an edict to the Qin Heavenly Prison and ordered the Ministry of Rites to fast and pray for rain on a certain time, and to pay tribute to the gods of heaven and earth, Sheji, mountains and rivers; Ordered Shun Tianfu and all prefectures and counties to appease, resettle, and give relief to the displaced people; Funds were allocated to transfer grain to the affected prefectures and counties, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate dispatched the Imperial History Inspectorate to provide disaster relief and lead the displaced people to return to their hometowns and resume their businesses.

In order to prevent the □□ people from doing nothing and forming bandits, the counties also put up notices to recruit the displaced people to repair the city walls, dredge the canals, and unload and transport grain in place of the people, and so on.

According to the rules of officialdom, the prefect should not interfere too much in the affairs of the prefecture and county, but Cao Zhixian still personally went to the prefectures and counties to inspect the disaster relief situation in order to show his attention. Sure enough, the lower-level officials all complained, seeing that winter was about to begin, and it did not rain in the affected prefectures and counties, and there was very little rain in the Gyeonggi area, and the land production was reduced, and the grain stored in the warehouses was prepared to be used for the people of the capital to survive the spring famine, and it was really difficult to support so many displaced people for the local area until the beginning of spring.

Cao Zhifu knew that the following states and counties had their own difficulties, so he wore out his lips and tried his best to comfort and appease: "Even King Qi and King Yong have donated silver to the imperial court in a festive manner, which shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the displaced people. ”

……

Zheng Ge was in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, and on this day he suddenly asked Shen Yu to accompany him to Tongzhou to inspect Caoyun. Shen Yu knew that it was the teacher who had something to tell him, and nine times out of ten it was still a matter of promoting a lecturer for King Qi.

Shen Yu didn't know the truth behind King Qi's donation of silver, but after this incident, he had some preliminary ideas about King Qi's personality.

The carriage went all the way out of the city along the pipeline, and the two barely talked to each other, Shen Yu and the other teachers spoke first, but Zheng Qian seemed to be lost in thought.

The two barely talked all the way to the Tongzhou wharf, leaning against the city wall and overlooking the endless canal, where countless displaced people were called to work, carrying goods to a huge fresh boat, and officials fanning behind them, urging and cursing behind them.

Even so, because they could exchange a little money, they were still happy.

Zheng Qian asked Shen Yu to accompany him to a distant place, and the left and right entourages were left in place.

Shen Yu said respectfully: "I don't know what kind of training the teacher has? ”

Zheng Qian's calm gaze swept over his face and asked, "You have a personal relationship with that Zhao Chun of Anjiang County?" ”

Shen Yu said without thinking: "No." ”

Zheng Qian looked at him suspiciously: "You don't have a personal relationship, why do you bother to deal with him?" ”

Shen Yu said: "In order to leave the last bit of conscience for the officialdom of Daqi. ”

Zheng Ge Lao paused for a moment and was noncommittal: "In this external investigation, the officials will move him to a position and adjust it." ”

Shen Yu knew that the officialdom of Nanzhili was also complicated, among which the cronies of Wu Jun's father and son were unknown, and the experience of Zhao Zhixian defending the land and resisting the Japanese was well known to Shen Yu, and was even made into a joke by Mr. Storyteller and spread it all over the streets and alleys, and no one dared to mention his official for a while.

They changed their mindset and put pressure on the officials to get rid of this dangerous person who was in the way and could explode at any time.

If Zhou Xin, the former secretary of the ministry, was still there, he would definitely let them go back where they came from, but Zhou Xin was framed two years ago, and now the secretary of the ministry will be much more flexible.

But fortunately, the official position was retained, but it was just a change of place to continue to be the magistrate.

Zheng Qian suddenly pointed to the huge ship and said, "What they are carrying is the silk that the palace rewarded King Yong, a total of 20,000 horses. ”

Shen Yu looked sideways at Zheng Qian, surprised with a hint of resentment.

Take all the baht, use it like mud and sand, nothing more.

"What about King Qi?" What Shen Yu asked was, what reward did King Qi have?

There was a hint of sarcasm in Zheng Qian's voice: "King Qi, I got the two-year arrears. ”

Shen Yu was speechless.

Zheng Qian asked him rhetorically: "Minghan, you are also the father of two sons, will you treat the eldest son harshly because you love the younger son?" ”

Shen Yu said: "How could it be. ”

Huaiming, Huai'an, and Peng'er are all the flesh of his heart, and he just wants to block all the wind and rain with his body, so that they can live in a light forever.

He never understood what kind of mentality it was to treat his children harshly, just as he could not understand his father all his life.

Elder Zheng Ge also sighed: "King Qi is benevolent and virtuous, he shouldn't be treated like this. ”

Shen Yu thought of his former situation, and knew the pain of King Qi, patriarchy was like a mountain pressing on his head, pressing people out of breath, King Qi may be more difficult than himself, because there is a monarchy above the patriarchy.

The monarch is not merciful, but the courtier must still be loyal and filial.

A fire suddenly surged in his chest, for his past, for King Qi's situation, and for the future of the dynasty...... Although he knew very well that this was Zheng Ge Lao's method of agitation.

Zheng Qian looked at the rolling waves from afar: "Minghan, the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached, can you bear to watch this stormy dynasty fall into the hands of such arrogant and lascivious people?" ”

The wind rose, and a thunderstorm swept through, shocking people's hearts.

It seems that the heavens have warned of such rebellious words, but Zheng Ge Lao is not afraid of the wind and thunder.

Shen Yu's tense face suddenly relieved: "The teacher misunderstood, the student was not perfunctory before, but he was afraid that his knowledge was shallow and incompetent. Today, hearing the words of the teacher, it is like an initiation. ”

Shen Yu faced Zheng Qian, folded his sleeves, and solemnly said: "Although Yu is not talented, please try it." ”

Zheng Qian's laughter was drowned in the sound of the storm, he said three "good" words in a row, and looked at Shen Yu deeply: "The old man didn't see the wrong person. ”

……

Yunqingguan on the outskirts of Beijing, the porridge factory opened by Princess Wenyang is still giving porridge. After the two kings donated silver one after another, the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing also donated money one after another, raising nearly 10,000 taels of donations.

Princess Wenyang was born shrewd and capable, and selected a few shrewd and kind-hearted women from the homeless people to assist, and arranged more than 20,000 homeless people in the western suburbs in an orderly manner, none of them starved to death, and there were no more robberies and riots.

The young and strong men went to repair the city wall during the day, and Wen Yang was afraid that the young women would be bored and sad with nothing to do, so he asked for an order from the camp department to make military uniforms, so that they could also work to subsidize the family.

Of course, this is also indispensable for the strong support of Qingyunguan.

The presiding elder of Qingyun Temple was once one of the real people who was deeply trusted by the emperor, but he did not approve of the king of a country taking pills, and was gradually snubbed by the emperor. Later, when he was old and weak, he lived in the meditation and practiced purely, and all the trivial matters in the meditation were handed over to the young disciple Zhou Xichen.

He took the initiative to carve out an open space in the view, in which hundreds of children, boys and girls, sat on the ground. He also sent a few disciples, together with him, to teach them to read the "Three Character Classic" and learn some commonly used words.

Some pregnant women who are about to give birth among the displaced people are also included in the view of giving birth, so he also invited two stable women to cook in the view.

In the eyes of many fellow disciples, this is a great disrespect to Tianzun, and some people are even more unaccustomed to seeing the senior brother make the Taoist temple a "miasma", disturbing the normal pilgrims to make incense, and go to the host to complain.

The old host only let Xiao Daotong pass out one sentence: "Immortal Dao Guisheng, immeasurable people"

And he sent them away.

When Princess Wenyang heard about this, she disguised herself as an ordinary woman early in the morning and came to Yunqingguan, and the first thing that caught her ears was not the chanting of the Taoists in the morning, but the sound of children's books.

Slowly walking into the gate of the Taoist temple, I really saw a group of children sitting in the square in front of the main hall, and there was a Taoist standing in the middle, with thin cheeks, tall figure, and fluttering clothes, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones.

That person was Zhou Xichen, I saw him holding the dust in one hand and the scroll in the other, and when he read a sentence, the children followed suit.

The children's voices were immature and their words were unclear, but Wen Yang only felt that he had never heard such a beautiful voice in his life, and for a while his eyes filled with tears and he stood in place.

Suddenly, a bean-sized drop of water hit her cheek.

She thought she was in tears, but soon, the second, and the third, smashed on her forehead and put her hair in a bun...... She looked up at the sky, and sure enough, there were raindrops the size of beans falling.

The rain wet the scrolls, Zhou Xichen must have noticed it, and suddenly looked up, and saw a good-looking, beautiful and pure woman standing in the rain curtain.

He said silently: "Three immeasurables." ”

The rain became denser and denser, and the palace and eunuchs dressed in civilian clothes beside Wen Yang did not bring umbrellas, reached out and used their sleeves to protect her from the rain, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, go back." ”

Wen Yang was unmoved, and excitedly watched the little beans springing up, jumping up from the ground one by one, clapping his hands and cheering.

"It's raining!"

It's just because their parents told them that once it rains, they can go home soon.

The people in the inner city of the capital have not seen such a heavy rain for a long time.

The women who run the house do not accept their clothes, the shops along the street do not collect their stalls, some stand under the eaves, some craned their necks to look out the window, some simply stand in the rain, some weep, and some cheer to welcome the heavy rain that has not yet come from the long drought.

The palace eunuchs of King Qi's palace knelt on the ground and reported the good news to King Qi and the princess, but the prince refused to let people have an umbrella, and ran from his bedroom in the heavy rain, regardless of the wet rain, and hugged his father.

King Qi's face also showed a long-lasting smile, stroked the child's back, and sighed with tears in his eyes: "God is virtuous, ancestors bless!" ”

Before the Chin Heavenly Prison had chosen a time to pray for rain, showers suddenly fell in the Gyeonggi area, which had been dry for a whole summer.

Under the leadership of Wu Jun, the first assistant, the officials of the capital congratulated the people overnight: Your Majesty is virtuous, the sky rains, and the people are blessed.

……

The joys and sorrows of the world are not connected.

Nanshuiguan Hutong, Shen House. The backs of one big and one small are facing the rain curtain outside the window, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Huai'an sighed, and Sister Peng also sighed.

Huai'an asked, "What are you sighing for?" ”

Sister Peng'er followed with a milky voice: "What are you sighing for?" ”
