Zhao Huan returned the gift, straight to the point and said: "Changzhou magistrate ordered six Cao officials to be executed by the palace. Although the common people complained, things went out of control and disaster relief was sluggish.

I came here to ask Professor Fan to take charge of Changzhou affairs temporarily. "

"It turns out that the East Palace is face-to-face, and forgive me for being rude." After a salute, Fan Shiyan got out of the way, and asked a few people to come in sideways.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Zhao Huan glanced at the food on the big stone.

Porridge is not a few grains of rice in a bowl of soup, but it is thin enough, no matter how much it is eaten, it can only be mixed with water, and the side dish is only three slices of pickled vegetables.

"I don't want to treat myself so harshly in order to help the victims, please accept my worship." Zhao Huan bowed.

Fan Shiyan stepped aside and said: "His Royal Highness, the so-called good will benefit the world, and the poor will take care of himself alone. I have a clear conscience, and now I can only take care of myself."

"What a clear conscience." Zhao Huan sighed: "If everyone in Changzhou can have a clear conscience, why would I bother to kill so much?"

"Your Highness has killed more than a hundred officials, which is indeed the first of its kind in the country. The court is bound to be violent, and His Highness should be prepared." Fan Shiyan continued.

"Wen Zhenggong has a saying, worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. As long as the people are happy, so what if I don't be a prince?"

Zhao Huan looked up at the sky, and entered into the mode of pretending to be aggressive.

"When I passed through Yangzhou, I wanted to find the ruins of the former Sui Dynasty, but I only found out after asking, that the Yangguang Palace no longer exists.

Later, when his subordinates suppressed bandits in Beigu Mountain, they found that Ganlu Temple was also destroyed, and they were really inexplicable.

Summary of the itinerary along the way, nothing more. "

After a pause, Zhao Huan read: "The mountains and rivers are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the south side of the road. Looking at Yangzhou, I feel hesitant. I am sad. In the place where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been made of soil. Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people bitter."

"Okay, what a prosperous people suffers, and dead people suffer!"

Amidst the applause, the two scribes entered the courtyard hand in hand.

One of them was about forty years old, thin and thin, and the other was high-spirited, with a sword hanging from his waist.

Fan Shiyan introduced: "Your Highness, the elder on the left is surnamed Qin and named Zhan, and his character is Chudu. He is the son of a layman in Hangou.

The young sword-bearer on the right, surnamed Xiao, surnamed Jiasui, styled Minfeng, descended from the Xiao family in Nanliang, is proficient in writing and has extraordinary courage, His Highness can use it. "

"Minister Qin Zhan pays homage to Your Highness."

"The little man Xiao Jiasui pays his respects to His Highness."

Zhao Huan supported the two on the left and the right, and said with a smile: "I wanted to ask for a virtuous man to preside over the disaster relief in Changzhou, but I didn't want the other two to hide in the market, and almost missed the opportunity."

"Your Highness has a great reputation." The two said modestly.

At this time, Fan Shiyan's wife had already packed the tableware and returned to her room to bring out some tea.

There is only boiled water, and the tea cup is also chipped.

Fan Shiyan said: "The humble house is simple, there are no tables, stools, or tea leaves, so please sit on the stones and use some white water, Your Highness."

"Such white water is better than fine nectar and jade dew, and this stone cannot be lowered from the throne of Lingxiao."

Zhao Huan sat down straight, picked up the water glass and drank it down.

"Your Highness is proud!" Xiao Jiasui praised, and sat beside him.

Qin Zhan and Fan Shiyan took their seats one after another. Qin Zhan said: "Your highness has excellent writing skills and cares about the people. That's why there is a saying that the people are suffering when they rise and fall."

"That's right." Xiao Jiasui continued, "Everyone talks about the prosperity of the country and the people's safety, but who would have imagined that the floods in the three prefectures would reveal the true colors of many officials and cause the people to suffer a lot for nothing.

Fortunately, His Highness was decisive in killing and eliminating harm for the people, so the people had hope. "

"Thank you, both!" Zhao Huan pointed to Fan Shiyan and said, "Professor, who sacrifices his family for the people, is indeed a model scholar. I will present it to the imperial court as a commendation!"

Fan Shiyan said: "Chudu traveled here and there to raise money and food, and all the food obtained was distributed by Minfeng, which was fair and reasonable, and there was no complaint about gain or loss.

The two cooperated and brought out the best in each other. What they did was nothing but a seller's fortune, which is really nothing to worry about. "

"Hey~ Don't talk about it, let's talk about murder!" Qin Zhan waved his hand and said, "A few days ago, all the families begged for almost nothing, but when the news came this morning, all the big families rushed to send money and food.

The front and rear are extremely respectful, all of them are His Royal Highness's majesty, so I don't need to mention my credit. "

"The so-called cold tea, the face of the predecessor's judge is not as deterrent as the one who sees blood, that's why there is a difference between before and after.

At present, only the donations from various families are enough for relief, and we just need to send someone to receive them. " Xiao Jiasui said.

"Chudu was once the general judge of this state?" Zhao Huan asked.

"Yes, Zhenghe resigned in six years." Qin Zhan replied.

"He failed the examination in the fifth year of Yuanyou, and stayed with the Hangou layman. Later, the Hangou layman was falsely accused of being a member of the Yuanyou party, and he was constantly pursued and denounced repeatedly. On the way to exile, the father and son were separated.

In the third year of Yuanfu, a layman in Hangou encountered amnesty and turned back, and died in Tengzhou, Guangxi on the way.

Chudu heard about it and went to Tengzhou for the funeral in Hunan. At that time, the situation was unstable and it was inconvenient to return home, so he stopped the funeral in Tanzhou and kept the system.It wasn't until Chongning four years before he had to return to his hometown to bury his father.

His pure filial piety is beyond the reach of many people in the world. "

With a sigh, Xiao Jiasui continued: "Because he was controlled by the children of the Yuanyou party, he had no hope of official career, so he traveled abroad to study.

At that time, Liang Shicheng, the middle official, claimed that the remains of the Su family were used to recruit the descendants of the Yuanyou family, so Chudu was recommended and sentenced Changzhou as a missionary.

At that time, when he was in office, there were many favorable policies, and the people all praised him. His Highness sent someone to inquire about the truth. "

"I believe what Minfeng said." Zhao Huan laughed.

Xiao Jiasui still stared at Zhao Huan, and said: "Yuanyou party members don't care, they only say that Chudu was recommended by Liang Shicheng, and the world criticizes him, saying that he has served as eunuch.

With such a character, would His Highness be willing to use him? "

"The so-called party members are those who disagree with their political opinions and have nothing to do with their talents. Besides..." Zhao Huan replied: "I am the prince, and I can be used for eunuchs. Is there?"

"Your Highness is domineering!" Xiao Jiasui bowed down.

"

110 Three things in Changzhou

Hangou Jushi is another name of Qin Guan and Qin Shaoyou.

As Qin Zhan's son, his future is naturally closely related to Qin Guan.

His ups and downs are also a story to tell.

At that time, Shenzong felt that the army was weak and the country's affairs were weak. In order to seek strength, he worshiped Wang Anshi as his prime minister and began to reform.
