I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen stood on the stone pier of the city gate, and beside him stood Cheng Chuliang. After graduating from Yucai, he entered Zuowuwei.

Cheng Chuliang was happy for several days. If he was assigned to his father's right guard, how would he fare?

"Your Highness, you still have a great deal of pomp and circumstance. Even giving out porridge is more pompous than the rest of us." Cheng Chuliang admired sincerely.

"Chu Liang, this is the pattern. How big your heart is, how big your world is. Money is simply superfluous to me. I never care about money." Li Shen stood on the stone wall and looked at it. distance.

"How big the heart is, how big the world is." Cheng Chuliang chewed on these words from Li Shen, and his admiration for Li Shen in his heart reached another level.

Do you see, this is the role model of our generation, you look at the temperament, you look at the demeanor, you look at the way of showing off.

Just as Li Shen was looking deeply into the distance, a young figure came into his eyes. A little girl, wearing adult clothes, with unkempt hair, weak body, and skinny body.

He was holding a large bowl in his hand, and the bowl was steaming. He must have just received the porridge, and it might have been too hot. I was anxious to drink it but was afraid it would be too hot, so I blew it hard.

At this time, a man came over, picked up the little girl's bowl, and poured the porridge into his own bowl. Before the little girl could react, the man stuffed the bowl back.

Then the man seemed to say a few words and then left. The little girl looked up at the man, then looked down at her bowl.

Silently, he buried his head in the bowl and licked it seriously.

There are military guards who are responsible for patrolling the porridge soup. Firstly, they are afraid of crowding or jumping in line. Secondly, they are to prevent people from receiving the soup twice, thereby preventing those who have not received it from being unable to eat.

So everyone can only receive it once.

When Li Shen saw this scene, somehow, a soft place in his heart was touched, and anger ignited in his heart.

Seeing the girl's behavior, she didn't cry or make a fuss, it was obviously not the first time.

Li Shen was angry for a moment.

"Come here, arrest that person."

Li Shen yelled and pointed his finger at the man. This yell shocked many people.

The man also looked back after hearing the sound, and saw Li Shen glaring angrily and pointing at him.

The man secretly thought something was wrong and ran away.

As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, the guards followed the direction of Li Shen's finger and saw the man, and several guards immediately chased him out.

He didn't run far before he was kicked to the ground by a guard and escorted over. The little girl was also brought over.

Li Shen got down from the stone pier and squatted in front of the little girl. The little girl was still a little scared. Looking at the little girl from close range, she looked about five or six years old.

Although her hair was unkempt, she could still see the beauty between her eyebrows. The little girl held the bowl in both hands and brought it to Li Shen, and then said softly

"No more. I'll give it to you tomorrow. I can't give you the clothes. I'll freeze to death."

Li Shen fell silent. His weak voice was like a sharp knife piercing into his heart. There seemed to be something blocked in his throat.

At such a young age, he is so sensible and so sensible that it makes people feel sad.

Next to them, Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang had red eyes.

"Hit me!" Li Shen yelled at the man angrily.

Cheng Chuliang was the first to kick the man, and then he punched and kicked him in order to get up to him.

"Don't hit, don't hit." The little girl said anxiously,

"Why can't you hit him?" Li Shen asked.

"He can find a place for me to sleep, otherwise I will freeze to death at night." The little girl said seriously.

Li Shen waved his hand, then waved again, and the man was brought over.

"Tell me what happened to this child. Tell the truth, otherwise I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

Li Shen said expressionlessly.

"I am the king?" When Li Shen said "I am the king", the man was so frightened that his legs became weak and he collapsed to the ground.

"Say it quickly." Seeing this, Cheng Chuliang raised his hand again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life!!" The man was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Tell me, what's going on with this child?" Li Shen asked again

"Back to my lord, this child is from a small village. During this snowstorm, her house collapsed and the elderly and men died.

Only orphans and widowed mothers were left behind. Later, the food provided by the court was not enough, so everyone came to Chang'an, and her mother fled with her along the way.

It's just that her mother caught a cold on the road and gave all her clothes to the child. She couldn't resist the cold and died of cold at night a few days ago.

There were several women in the shack who would look after her occasionally. "The man didn't dare to hide everything he said.

"Since we are from the same country, it's fine if you don't take care of them, but why do you still want to snatch the children's porridge? This must not be the first time for this king to see you." After hearing this, Li Shen's face turned livid, even if human life is like a piece of grass, even if you see death Li Shen can understand even if he doesn’t save him.

But robbing other people's food is the same as killing someone.

"Villain...Villain..." The man thought for a long time but couldn't think of any good reason.

"Here, he will be sent to Zuowuwei for five years of hard labor." Li Shen waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, please spare the villain. The villain is wrong." The man was taken away.

Li Shen turned around and looked at the little girl, her young body shivering from the cold. Li Shen felt a trace of pity in his heart.

Li Shen took off his cotton-padded clothes and put them on the little girl, and asked as kindly as possible,

"What's your name."

"My name is Sanniang." The young child's voice was clear and clear. Maybe she had experienced too much, so she answered simply.

"How old are you?" Li Shen asked again.

"Six years old."

The crisp voice made Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang shed tears. A six-year-old child could survive hard in this severe cold weather.

How much trial and luck did this require? Li Shen felt that it must be her mother who was protecting her from heaven.

Li Shen took a deep breath, tried not to appear so weak, and said softly:

"Sanniang, can you come with me?"

"No, my mother said that she wants me to stay alive, and the armored general will take me away later. My mother won't let me go with anyone else." Sanniang's voice was firm.

Her mother meant that in the future, officers and soldiers might take her to a nursing home, which is a combination of a nursing home and an orphanage.

The government pays for it and assigns dedicated personnel to take care of it.

After hearing this, Li Shen felt even more sad. What a great mother. She gave the few clothes to her children when she was sick, but she froze to death. Before she died, she entrusted all the ways of survival to her children.

"Go and call some military guards over." Li Shen said to Cheng Chuliang.

Cheng Chuliang hurriedly ran to the city gate, and within a moment he grabbed a captain and came out. There were also several soldiers in armor.

"Come Sanniang, take a look. Look at what kind of armor you are wearing." Cheng Chuliang asked.

Sanniang looked at several of them wearing armor, then began to try hard to recall what her mother said, and finally pointed to the one on the far right and said happily:

"That's it. General, are you here to take me away?"

(In the Tang Dynasty, the law stipulated that ordinary people could retire at the age of 60, and officials could retire at the age of 70. Of course, the powerful ministers must retire later.

After people retire, [-]% of the land will be left to the elderly, whether they grow it themselves or rent it out.

The law also stipulates that the elderly must be cared for by someone, and must pay attention to filial piety and have a gentle attitude. Children who are unfilial will be punished.

If you can live to be 80 years old, the court will pay for it and send someone to take care of it. When you are 90 years old, you will be a treasure. The country will take care of you comfortably and the number of people sent will increase.

The main reason may be knowledge transfer. )
