Chapter 220: Selection of Talents
The woman came and stood by the carriage. "Xing'er, my sister and your brother have something very important to do, and it may not be convenient to take you with them. ”
"Where is my sister going?" Xing'er was a little sad when she heard Shangguan still say that it was inconvenient to take him.
"Xing'er, look?" Xing'er followed every place of her fingers, and saw a pair of fathers holding their daughters, the girl was about three years old, wearing a sackcloth and tattered. And his father was disgraced, and his clothes were more tattered than his daughter's.
"My sister is going to tell Xing'er that it is inconvenient for you and your brother to take Xing'er because you have to help a lot of people who need help like them, so you can't take care of Xing'er, right?"
"Well, because they need their brother's help. Good Xing'er, my sister promised you that she would come back to you in a few days? Do you want to go back to the palace with Rong'er?" Xing'er is sometimes sensible and distressing.
"That sister wants to come back soon," Xing'er endured the reluctance of the imminent separation, and hugged the woman standing by the carriage. Tears dripped down the woman's shoulders.
"Well, my sister promised Xing'er that my sister and brother would come back as soon as possible after taking care of things. The woman swore and promised.
"That's a hook hook. ”
"Okay--pull goo. ”
"Hanging for 100 years is not allowed to change. "Thumbs up to each other. Xing'er tearfully and Rong'er set foot on the way back to the capital. Xing'er was escorted back by Qingyun, and Qingyun was another personal guard of Chu Chen in addition to Mu Feng, so it is conceivable that Qingyun's kung fu is not below Mu Feng.
Xingyue Dynasty, court. The palatial palace, with hundreds of officials standing in their own positions in an orderly manner. In the main hall, all the officials did not dare to say a word, and the atmosphere was low to the extreme.
The sandalwood-filled hall adds thick uniforms to the originally gloomy atmosphere.
"Do the Qing family have a better way to deal with this disaster?" On the main hall, I saw a man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and a majestic voice spit out from his mouth, and the man's gaze swept to every adult standing in the hall. The hall was not very harmonious in the first place, because his look made those ministers even more frightened into a cold sweat. No one said a word about it. I'm afraid that this difficult errand will be done.
"I don't know?
The young man stood up from the crowd, bowed, and said, "Thousands of people have been affected in the area of Fuzhou near Cangcheng, and many of them have lost their homes. In the opinion of the ministers, His Majesty needs to select talents as soon as possible in order to relieve the suffering of the affected people. ”
"Talent selection? That's a nice note indeed. The man in the main hall replied by default.
"About the selection of talents?Do you have any recommended people?" There was a public opinion in the lobby, three or four of us, gathered around to discuss. Then he said in unison: "Prime Minister Li Cheng is a young talent, and he is rich in five cars." Of course, such a heavy responsibility must be Lord Lee. ”
In the court, hundreds of officials recommended Li Chijun one after another. The reason why they are like this is because no one wants to do these things that are not good for themselves.
"Su Aiqing also thinks that Prime Minister Li Cheng can take on this important responsibility?"
An old man in his fifties stood up from the crowd, "The prime minister is young and promising, and he is deeply loved by the people, and no one is more competent than Master Li for such an important task." Su Wuji replied respectfully.
Li Chijun just stood in the middle and didn't say much. It's just that I'm a little unhappy in my heart. is a villain who sees the wind and rudder, and the one on weekdays is almost the same, but now he throws it on him whenever he encounters something. It's really me off.
"Li Aiqing, does it make sense?"
"Uh......" Li Chijun immediately paused, and after he really pulled back his emotions, he nodded in agreement.
"Obey. ”
"Your Majesty, the disaster in Fuzhou is serious, and the people are miserable. In Cangcheng, whether it is in the west or east of the city, thousands of people have no place to sacrifice. In the opinion of Weichen, it is necessary to send disaster relief silver to Fuzhou as soon as possible to relieve the people's difficulties. ”
What Su Aiqing said is very true. ”
"Where is Shi Aiqing?"
"Wechen is here. ”
"I ordered you to immediately mobilize the disaster relief silver taels, and the Prime Minister Li Cheng went to Fuzhou to save the people from fire and water. ”
"This ......" the old man hesitated, as if there was something unspeakable.
Chu Xiaochen seemed to see through it at a glance, and then said unhappily: "Shi Aiqing has any proposals, why don't you say it?"
"Your Majesty, the disaster in Fuzhou is serious, if the disaster is not better controlled, the silver broadcast by the imperial court will be exhausted little by little. I'm afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. When the words fell, there was a lot of discussion. The Emperor glanced at them, then coughed lightly. The crowd did not dare to say more.
"The ancients said that the heavens and the earth have changed, the monarch has his gains, and the common people have difficulties and ministers think about their sorrows. My way of governing the country is not to lose the gains and to be providential. Just the right way to let the people suffer innocently?"
"Your Majesty is worried, Your Majesty is skilled. Loving the people like a son, this disaster is nothing but heavy rain for several days. Landslides and floods swelled. It happened to be the first snow. The right people suffered, and the emperor was so sympathetic to the people, he would definitely move the heavens. Bless the Fuzhou area. ”
After receiving Su Wuji's comfort, Chu Xiaochen finally felt a little better. He nodded, not blaming himself.
Then he said, "Su Aiqing still understands my heart very well,"
"Your Majesty praises, and the minister is ashamed. ”
"What Su Aiqing said just now is reasonable, if the disaster is not better controlled, the silver taels allocated by the imperial court will be like falling into a bottomless pit of the abyss. Moreover, the imperial court was less than ten days away from Cangcheng, and the people had to suffer for ten days during this period. Which Aiqing offers good advice so that the people will suffer less?"
Outside the door of the main hall of "Report ......", I heard a man in military uniform running from afar, holding a letter in both hands. Chu Xiaochen gave the eunuch beside him a look, and the eunuch quickly understood what it meant. Then he went to take the letter and walked up to the main hall, bowed his head and handed it to Chu Xiaochen.
The man opened the letter, only to see his handsome face change slightly, and his originally frowning brow instantly expanded. He laughed three times in a row, and the officials were puzzled. Chu Xiaochen immediately became serious.
"What I'm still worried about, in fact, Brother Wang has already been resolved, Prime Minister Li. ”
"Wechen is here. ”
"I order you to send disaster relief silver to Cangcheng early tomorrow morning. ”
"Obey. ”
"Aren't you all weird? What are you laughing at?" Chu Xiaochen had a sell-out expression. His piercing eyes swept over every official, calm and unwavering.
"I ...... I'm in a good mood today, so I might as well tell you. The disaster situation in Fuzhou has been better controlled, and Wang Di and his princess have been fasting and saving the people in the streets and alleys of Cangcheng. Local officials set up channels for donations and relief in Cangcheng, and all the money received was given to the affected villagers. ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, it must be the emperor's filial piety that touches the heavens. The people of Fuzhou are safe and sound. ”
"Alas...... I can't take that credit away. ”
"Do you know the disaster situation in Fuzhou, and who is this person who can be better controlled?"
"It was the emperor's filial piety that moved the heavens," a minister patted with great interest.
"This person is the wife of Brother Wang, and she is also the princess of Xuanyuan Kingdom. The news shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Shangguan still became famous in the Xingyue Dynasty after that, and it quickly spread throughout the Kyushu Continent.
Lin Wanyan and Ye Qingyu went back to their hometown Cangcheng to worship their parents, a fire that year, the Situ family burned to nothing, and the Situ family was also a family with a head and a face in Cangcheng. So back then, their parents and even the whole family were buried by the government, a deserted suburb, surrounded by weeds. The sun released its gentle energy warmly, and several uneven tombs seemed to be overgrown with weeds.
I saw a batch of light blue plush cloaks, her slightly emaciated figure woman kneeling in front of the grave, the woman bowed her head and kept burning paper money. Behind her stood a man dressed in a blue robe, hair flowing in the wind on both sides of his forehead. His black hair was half bundled and half batched. Long hair draped behind him. The straight body sets off the heaven and the earth, the robe is flowing, and the man is silent and lets the cold wind blow.
"Daddy, Ning Xue has come to see you. My daughter is not filial, and I still don't know who the enemy is?" In fact, she has been secretly inquiring why the Situ family was overwhelmed by a fire back then. It's just that she whispered lightly, and after a few inquiries, there was no news. The government said it was caused by an accident. But she just didn't believe it, she was only ten years old when she didn't understand and didn't think about many things, and now it's been ten years in a blink of an eye.
The woman's clear eyes were already moistened. Tears poured down like a fountain, but the woman kept burning paper money and muttering to herself. The events of the thirteen years are vivid, and she dare not forget them, and she will not forget them.
The man came up and helped her up. Along the way, the woman was silent halfway, while the man just watched quietly in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
"Are you alright?" the man in the carriage broke the quiet atmosphere.
"It's okay...... " the woman Yaoyao nodded and continued to bow her head and remain silent. She was very bad, she wanted to tell him, but the words came to her lips. but choked on something. Ye Qingyu was too good to her, which made her feel more and more guilty. They recognized each other, but they never went back.
"We may have to stay in Cangcheng for the next two days,"
"Why!" the woman frowned slightly. Puzzled asked.
"The disaster in Fuzhou was serious, and the court sent people to escort the disaster relief silver taels, and all roads leading to the capital were blocked, just in case. ”
"Isn't there a shortcut?" she had been out for more than ten days, if she didn't go back. Who will take care of Manchun Garden. The woman looked worried.
Man Yaoyaotou, in fact, there is a shortcut, but he doesn't want her to know, he just wants to be alone with her in Cangcheng for a few days. She really deserves a good rest, and it's the first time she's seen a woman so strong. Watching her take care of Manchun Yuan day and night, she was really distressed, so today he lied to her decisively, but not to mention that it is really a very uncomfortable thing to lie to the person he likes.
Cangcheng ...... The once bustling streets now look a little more desolate, with one or two beggars begging along the streets. From time to time, I hold the bowl in my hand and ask for it from people passing by. The streets are much more lively than ever, but a little more declining, and a heavy rain washes away everything that is harmonious, but it also bears witness to the righteous ability of people to support each other.
A group of children in tattered clothes are happily singing songs and songs full of hope in the streets.
"Every time I am strong in wandering and lonely...... Every time, even if it is very hurt, it does not shed tears. I finally saw all the dreams blossoming, and the young singing voices chasing were so loud......... The song spread all over the streets and alleys, bringing hope like a spring breeze. The child's innocent smile is the rebirth after this disaster.
I saw a carriage parked in the middle of the road. The coachman helped lift the curtain. I saw a delicate-looking woman poking her head out. Since the carriage was too high above the ground, the woman hesitated to jump out of the carriage.
A man dressed in rivers and lakes came over and hugged her directly. The woman's heart tightened, and the tension in her heart was like the aftermath of the wind, and she glanced at the man in surprise, her eyes were tender...... She clenched her fists nervously, and she was put down, her head bowed and a slight smile.
"Wanyan ......" only to hear a crisp sound like water in the distance. The woman looked back to find the source of the voice.
"Wanyan, is it really you?" the woman in white came in surprise. Without waiting for the woman's reaction, she hugged her directly.
