life in a hurry

Chen Feiqing also heard this sound, looked back at King Ning, then looked away quickly, pointed to a soldier in the city and said, "Come out."

The soldier was the leader of the captain, but he was considered to be energetic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "Yes."

Chen Feiqing asked, "What's your name?"

The man said, "Zhang Bao."

Chen Feiqing smiled: "I have some fate with Zhang Hu. Just now I saw that you were the only one who was chasing down ruffians and protecting the people. Why are your colleagues different from you?"

Zhang Bao was silent for a while, and said: "The scene was chaotic just now, and it is common to be confused."

Chen Feiqing knew that he didn't want to offend people, but it was okay to do that just now, and said: "The emperor ordered soldiers in the city to protect the people. You have done a good job, and you will be the commander-in-chief of the city in the future."

Cheng Zongbing was dumbfounded and said: "Young Lord——"

Chen Feiqing looked at him.

Cheng Zongbing looked at Yao Yi again.

Yao Yi knew that Chen Feiqing was not going to win him over, so he said unwillingly: "Young Lord, I'm afraid you can't easily decide the transfer of official positions in this city."

Chen Feiqing said: "The soldiers in the city belong to the Ministry of War. How can I not be the master?"

Yao Yi said: "The Ministry of War is the emperor's decision."

Chen Feiqing looked at him for a while, smiled easily, and corrected: "My father is in charge of the Ministry of War."

As soon as he said this, Yao Yi was stunned.

Everyone knows that An Guohou supports his troops and respects himself, but no one dares to say that this Chen Feiqing is a swindler who turned out to be his mother? !

Yao Yi met Chen Feiqing a few years ago in Beijing, and in his impression he felt that he was a friendly person, wouldn't he become so arrogant in a few years?

But he thought about it carefully again, and it seemed that it would not be unimaginable for him to be more domineering and domineering in Chen Feiqing's position.

However, King Ning is still there!

Yao Yi went to see King Ning again, but he didn't expect that King Ning didn't respond, he just lowered his head and talked to someone as if he didn't hear him.And Qin Zhengwen was farther away, squatting on the ground to condolences to the victims, as if he really didn't hear it.

Thinking about the sentence that King Ning said just now, "Can this king stop his surname Chen", it seems to understand a little bit.

Yao Yi seldom went to Beijing, but he had heard that Prince Ning and Marquis An were in conflict, but he didn't expect it to be like this. It seemed that Marquis An was the better one. No wonder King Ning had gotten closer to the Queen Mother in the past two years.

Yao Yi was thinking about it in his mind, when he heard Chen Feiqing say again: "Master Qin, I will take care of the soldiers, and you will take care of other things."

Qin Zhengwen heard it now, looked back, and said with some displeasure: "The soldiers were assigned to me by the Ministry of War, and I shouldn't be in charge of the young master."

Chen Feiqing seemed to be more polite and friendly to him, and said with a smile: "Then please forgive me, Mr. Qin."

Qin Zhengwen looked away in disgust, looked around, and said: "When I come here, I have been confessed every day, that is, I have been concealed. It's rare that everyone is here, so let's make it clear today. Distributing relief food It is the responsibility of the imperial court. You are the people, and the imperial court has the responsibility to protect you. But the hundreds of thousands and millions of people in the world are also ordinary people, and the imperial court also has the responsibility to protect them. The previous relief food was greedy by giant beetles. Who is the giant beetle? Well, the emperor doesn't know, and this official doesn't know, so the emperor sent this official to investigate the case, and he will give the world an explanation. But it doesn't matter at this time. Before this official came, the emperor summoned this official in private and said The first sentence is that the case is not important."

The victims began to whisper, with a little anger on their faces.

Qin Zhengwenyang raised his voice and continued: "The second sentence is that human life is important!"

The victims fell silent and looked at him.

Qin Zhengwen said impassionedly: "Disasters are natural disasters, and disasters are man-made disasters. The imperial court can't prevent natural disasters, it can only prevent man-made disasters. However, this is not important. The important thing is that the emperor wants to see that his people will never starve to death again! My official I don’t know if you know a person named Zhang Jiu. Maybe you don’t know him, maybe you do. He is also a disaster victim. He went to the capital from Xiaojing Village. Did he go there for survival? Yes. He did it for all his fellow villagers He went there to survive, he didn't go to the capital to beg for food for himself, he went to the capital to listen to Datian, and to beg for food for all the victims like him! But unfortunately, when he arrived in the capital, he was already He was dying, and it was a coincidence that this official met him, and after learning about it, he reported it to the imperial court, and thus came here."

King Ning lowered his head and turned the wrench in his hand, sat down on the side of the stall, and looked at Qin Zhengwen expressionlessly.

Qin Zhengwen continued: "Zhang Jiu is a great man. Although he has only been farming for 35 years, he can only write his own name in his life. The eight generations of his ancestors have been farming. There is no such thing as noble. With blood, he can't recite the Four Books and Five Classics, he can't be the number one scholar, and he can't write any marching strategies, but in the eyes of this official, he is a person who truly understands benevolence and righteousness."

The noble blood is probably King Ning and Feiqing Chen. King Ning wrote the theory of marching when he was young, and there are still many people who are good at martial arts.And Qin Zhengwen himself is the champion.

Yao Yi really didn't expect that Qin Zhengwen would scold himself when he went crazy.

"He is alive now. The emperor personally met him and sent an imperial doctor to treat him."

The victims were in an uproar again, but this time most of them were surprised and envious.

Qin Zhengwen said: "I'm not telling you this to make you sing praises to the emperor. This is what he should do."

Yao Yi: "..."

I really dare to say it!

There was a moment when Yao Yi forgave Qin Zhengwen for his bad behavior every day after he came. After all, he not only hated himself, but also dared to hate the emperor. Maybe he is a fool, why bother with a fool? so many.

Qin Zhengwen said: "I just want to tell you that the emperor has sent me here, you will not die, you will die, if someone wants you to die, I will not let you die! The new relief food has arrived. Just in the warehouse, you said that you can’t get enough to eat. A middle-aged man can’t get enough to eat a bowl of porridge. I believe it. I’m a person with a pen. It’s just right to eat two bowls of dry rice. But you also You can't make trouble for no reason. Starving to death without enough food is two different things. My family was poor since I was a child, and my widowed mother brought me up with all my strength. Although she insists on eating and using everything, I still have tasted the pain of starvation. Taste, it’s really uncomfortable, but it won’t die. Food is the most important thing for the people, and everyone wants to be full, but now if you don’t have enough to eat, you still can’t get enough. At least there are tiles to cover their heads, but the victims outside the city only live in thatched huts, which are ventilated from all sides. The official will also let them enter the city, but there are too many people, and they cannot enter so many at a time, so they can only come in batches."

"There are so many of you, but there is only so much relief food. If there are a hundred of you, should I feed fifty of you and starve to death, or let a hundred of you half-fed and live? Of course, to people, one's own life is the most important thing. Whether those fifty people die or not has nothing to do with oneself. You can think this way, but you should also think about it at the same time. If Zhang Jiu thinks this way, then There's really nothing left."

The victims whispered again, Qin Zhengwen said: "If you have something to say today, if you have questions, grievances, or distrust, you can say it, and I will answer it. It's just that you choose someone to speak, and you talk all over the place. No one can hear clearly."

The victims looked at each other, pushed and pushed an old woman out after a while.

Qin Zhengwen smiled suddenly: "You are a bit like my mother. You must be eloquent on weekdays, so everyone pushed you out. You are also good at bargaining, right? My mother is very good at bargaining, and I am afraid to see her in the vegetable market."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

The old woman also laughed with a sullen face, and said: "This grown-up can still joke."

Qin Zhengwen said: "I don't like to joke."

The old woman didn't take it seriously, she just said: "My lord is straightforward, so we will be straightforward. Why don't you allocate more food?"

Qin Zhengwen said: "The granary is only so big. First, it can't be put down. Second, the court found out about this incident suddenly, and the emperor immediately sent an official here. It is true that so much grain cannot be transferred in a short time." Let me tell you this, adjusting the grain does not mean adjusting it, it will fall from the sky immediately, this time the grain was borrowed by the emperor from other places."

The old woman looked back at the crowd and asked, "Does the emperor still need to borrow food?"

Qin Zhengwen said: "Yes, the emperor also needs to borrow. Let me explain a few more words. Every year, some of the grain in each place is kept in the local granary, and some is offered to the court. As for the amount of tribute, it depends on the conscience of the local officials." And courage, you should know better than this official how little conscience and courage some officials have."

Just as Yao Yi wanted to forgive Qin Zhengwen, he suddenly disappeared.

Qin Zhengwen went on to explain: "Not only you will have famines, but other places will have floods, earthquakes, plagues, everything, and other places are also afraid of famines. You have to eat, what should you do? This is human nature. Of course, you will not starve to death because of this. The emperor is still borrowing and bargaining everywhere. Before the new food is borrowed, this official can only Do your best to keep everyone alive."

The old woman said again: "Then we still have enough food for a few days? If we didn't borrow it, what should we do?"

Qin Zhengwen said: "Ten days are enough. If there is no new food within ten days, Lord Yao will give you his head and hands to make soup for you."

The old woman looked disgusted, as if she really didn't want to drink.

Yao Yi seemed like a dead dog.

Qin Zhengwen continued: "After beheading his head, I will apologize to you with death."

The old woman said: "No, you don't need it, my lord."

Yao Yi: "..."

Seeing this, Lu Ding finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

The victims were also laughed by him, and they all laughed.

Yao Yi: "..."

Qin Zhengwen said: "The emperor trusts me to entrust this important task. If someone still starves to death, it is my dereliction of duty. Even if the emperor doesn't pursue it, I will have a bad conscience. I won't mention this matter for now, because I don't care about it." Will make that day. Do you have anything else to ask?"

The old woman looked back again, and said, "We don't have anything to ask for now, do you have anything else to say?"

Qin Zhengwen said: "I just hope that since you have entered the city, you will take care of each other and remind each other not to cause too much trouble to the residents of the city. They did not raise or release the locusts, but they are still willing to accept you , this is their affection, if something goes wrong because of this, I will be ashamed of them."

The old woman nodded.

Qin Zhengwen said again: "Everyone is a disaster-stricken person, the more they have to be twisted into one rope at this time, everyone wants to be full, but as a human being, you can't pay attention to a person who only wants to eat himself and ignores other people's bellies. That's something only beasts in clothes like to do. I believe that everyone is not to that extent, and I hope that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. You are a big man, and you have to eat up the portion of the old, weak, women and children. You are really ashamed Men, this officer disdains this kind of person."

The victims all nodded.

The first victim who was being escorted by the soldiers also lowered his head in shame.
