live up to the moon

The next day.

Li Yuehan drank the porridge, raised his eyes slightly, "Come on, this porridge is a bit bland, I'll make it for you again."

"No need." Li Qinghan sat down, scooped up a bowl and sat opposite him.

They are at her mother-in-law's house, and her mother-in-law said that drinking porridge in the morning is light and healthy!

He nodded, and after a while he saw that the bowl of the person sitting across from him had bottomed out, and he was still able to control the character set without changing his face, "That's right, why is the little lady so cold-faced, ouch! ouch! Still staring I!!! I'm so scared~"

Last night, Granny Yu recognized Li Qinghan as his wife. He was right in calling her that, right!He is so dedicated!

"..." Li Qinghan ignored him, and bowed to his mother-in-law, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for your hospitality."

Granny Yu is getting old and has poor eyesight. She squinted at Li Qinghan for a while with those dim eyes, "Hey!! Hey!! This little girl is so pretty, you really picked up a treasure."

Li Qinghan: "..."

He smiled and said, "Really! I have admired him for a long time since I was a child, and he saved my life. He has a good eye." He was naturally referring to the move of the Shangyuan Festival assassin, and Li Qinghan used his hands to help him block it. down.Li Yuehan sighed, "It's a pity that he is really a younger sister Lin, who has a stubborn illness." When he was inspired, he performed an impromptu performance, "Mother-in-law, what do you think I should do, my young and beautiful lady... ..."

Li Qinghan who uses it as material every time: ...just as long as you are happy.

After hearing this, Granny Yu sat down hurriedly, "Oh! What a chronic disease."

Li Yuehan hates iron for being weak, "Cough, it will become like this after a long time." It's not because his cousin is sullen...he was very young, Li Yuehan remembered that when he first came to the East Palace, he still I thought he was serving a bowl of water, but I didn't expect that it was just "ginger soup" mixed with a few slices of ginger in clear water.But it's because he didn't say anything, the late emperor and empress dowager didn't know, those people who acted on the wind just got worse...

"You young people! Hey!" Granny Yu followed suit, "Go to the capital and have a look. There is a doctor named Xiaotiao Medical Center who is very skilled in medicine! Hey, let me tell you He is a medical idiot. His parents are from this village. Unfortunately, his life was not good. He was raised when he was more than ten years old. He, he can be regarded as my old woman who grew up watching him. He is half a grandson. Now that I am promising, I will come to see my old lady every year..." She wiped her tears as she spoke, her eyes were cloudy but shining, and she started the mode of thoughts.

He glanced at Li Qinghan, "Try it?"

"..." Li Qinghan turned his head indifferently, and Lian Yu looked at Li Yuehan rather complicatedly, as if saying: Come on, even the imperial doctors can't cure him.

"There are always some ways among the people, everything is possible!" Li Yuehan stood up and handed the white jade pendant around his waist to Granny Yu, "Thank you, Granny, and I also want to thank you for my wife, thank you for the introduction and hospitality, we I'll go first."

Trembling in Granny Yu's hands, she obviously felt that the jade pendant was very valuable, "You can't, you can't." She raised her hazy eyes, and saw the blurred figures of the two, she said to Li Yuehan, "As long as the young master Ask Bo Yu for my old lady, how is my grandson doing well in the city, hey..."

"Good good."

She watched the young man carry his little lady on his back, and when he walked away, she sighed in a low voice, and put the jade pendant away carefully and carefully. He and Bo Yu really have similar temperaments. ...

……

When we arrived in Hezhou, it was already evening, the sun was about to set, and it was dusk.

As soon as they arrived in Hezhou, they found that although there was no major disaster here, there were crowds of refugees. It was a coincidence that a shadow guard found four or five corpses in an alley, which were already stinking.

After Li Yuehan settled down in the inn, he went out with Yi Lin.Li Qinghan was also investigating among the people everywhere, and the two acted separately.

After Li Qinghan inquired, he realized that it was very different from what they thought. For example, in this remote place, the price of goods is not expensive, but the food is almost as good as the capital at the foot of the emperor, and some are even two or three dollars higher.

Li Yuehan and the two circled around the Zhizhou Mansion, and when the sun went down, the two of them appeared on the wall of the Zhizhou Mansion.There are no heavy guards here, and the guards are relatively weak. Li Yuehan easily climbed over the wall and landed in an inconspicuous corner of Zhizhou Mansion, followed by Yi Lin, and the two of them disappeared in the night.

Instead, he turned around the prefecture's capital, only to find a heavily guarded place in the far west.

Li Yuehan guessed that this was the warehouse, the reserve warehouse, the official bank and food allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief.

Yuchao's storage management is well-organized. The reserve warehouses are located in densely populated areas. Each state and county has four locations in the southeast, north, and west, which are used for disaster relief in famine years, and are directly set up for disaster relief.This has played a positive role in alleviating the living pressure of the disaster victims and promoting the recovery of production.

The establishment of warehouses is mainly for disaster relief and famine preparations, to stabilize the people and consolidate the foundation, to stabilize food prices, to regulate the market, to support military horses, and to prepare for wars.

The southeast and northwest are guarded by their own troops, but Xicang is in Zhizhou's mansion.Since the Yu Dynasty, the reserve warehouses in all dynasties have been run by the government and the people, but this one is located in the Zhizhou Mansion, which is heavily guarded by soldiers.

He has never visited the other southeast and north warehouses, but there is no doubt that the west warehouse is the most important of the four warehouses.

On the branches of the moon, there are a few tips.

Li Yuehan rubbed the center of his brows, "Let's go, I'll go to the other three warehouses tomorrow to have a look."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

Li Yuehan was just thinking that the granary was the key point, but the point must be more than that. He lay on the bed and stared at the half-covered moon still holding the pipa outside the window.

After a while he heard Wang Gonggong's voice, thinking that Ah Qing had returned.

He got up and sat up obediently. Li Qinghan pushed the door open with a sullen face, and Lian Yu didn't look too good.

"What's wrong???" he asked.

Li Qinghan glanced behind him, Wang Gonggong immediately signaled to close the door, and he was guarding outside, the partition wall has ears, there is no wall in the world that is not airtight, and the left and right sides of the wing room are the rooms of the attendants.

Li Qinghan said, "Just now we went to an ordinary family's home, which is connected to an alley. There are piles of dead people in that alley, just because the price of food is so high, they starved to death."

Li Yuehan looked up at his cousin, but said nothing.It seems that there is not much difference with what he thinks in his heart.

"At the beginning of the question, the peddler said there were only four or five." Lian Yu said, "But after we went out, His Majesty said that the peddler was lying. When he said this, his expression was extremely unnatural, and he glanced into the alley from time to time. Let's go to the alley to check."

He, a big man, shuddered when he recalled the scene just now, and he cursed, "Fuck, there are four or five people here, a bunch of people, dead in one room, this Fuck nobody cares, I fucked up!!"

The stench was overwhelming, and there was no life in that alley, it was lifeless.They didn't find a few people along the way, and some people's expressions were numb after passing this alley.

They found nothing out of the ordinary.

When entering a room, Li Qinghan coughed, "I smell something, right here, go and have a look."

When they walked to the innermost place, they found that there were piles of dead people inside, full of the smell of corpses. Lian Yu almost vomited, but Li Qinghan managed to calm down, and he walked to the side of the pile of corpses and squatted down.

He covered his nose and observed for a while.

There are more than four or five corpses here, at least a dozen or so.Those people were not afraid of death even if they didn't want to be buried, and they piled up together, full of resentment.

Some of the corpses have decomposed, there are elderly people in their seventies, young women and men, and some children.The appearance of corpse spots is also very scary, a large purple-red mass, and there are many.It's not a day or two to think about death.There is still some corpse water under the body, which is really disgusting.Those rotting corpses had maggots growing on them, and white worms were wriggling on the corpses. Lian Yu couldn't hold back and went out to find a place to vomit it out.

This is not the first time Li Qinghan has seen these things, he has seen them since he was a child, there are many such things in the palace.At that time, I saw for the first time that in the middle of the night, the eunuch next to a concubine of the late emperor threw away the belly of a court lady, put stones on it, and sank into the river.At that time, he hid in the forest of the imperial garden and peeped at this scene, which scared him so much that he dared not go out for a month or two.Later, when he passed the cold palace, the guards fell asleep by the palace gate, unable to do what they wanted, and he still showed one eye through the crack of the gate out of curiosity, and then he faced the other eye.He was so frightened that he wanted to cry out, but the next moment he was immediately frightened silent, because he saw that the woman in the door had no face, showing a bloody face, and a mouthful of white teeth smiling at him.

It was a midsummer night at that time, and the flies were multiplying at their peak. Li Qinghan's eyes widened. The woman behind the door seemed to have an itchy face. She was digging her fleshy face with her nails, and there were maggots and some white bugs on her face. It squirmed on the face, and some fell off with a rustle.The woman screamed in fright, her nails sank into her face, and a lump of flesh was pulled off alive.

Li Qinghan lowered his eyes when he thought of this.

Two jade-like hands touched the dead man's cheeks, squeezed his cheeks to look back and forth, turned his neck, he put down his hands and lifted the corpse, the corpse water dripped drop by drop, Li Qinghan With some cleanliness, he pinched the empty clothes on the corpse with two fingers, stepped back a few steps, pulled the corpse out of the pile of corpses and threw it on the empty ground.

Lian Yu just came in after vomiting and saw this, then went out again.

After he finished vomiting again, when he came in, he saw Li Qinghan studying the corpse, and walked around the corpse.

At any rate, it was a guard who barely stopped, but his head was a little heavy, "Your Majesty, let's go back first, it's already night." He looked at the pile of corpses next to him for a while, and felt a little nauseous. The way to live here.

The two returned to the inn.

Li Yuehan pondered for a while and said: "Tomorrow, let's go to the alley and have a look, and go to Xiku at night. I think..."

"what?"

"I think this Xiku is quite important, but if you can go into Liu Hedong's room and search carefully, maybe there will be something unexpected... something."

Wang Gonggong has already come in, he said: "It's late at night, Your Majesty should go to rest first."

Li Qinghan nodded, clenched one hand into a fist and covered his mouth and coughed for a while.

Li Yuehan looked at him more deeply and quietly.

Li Qinghan: "What??"

So one hand touched his head, "Take medicine!!!"

Wang Gonggong hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness, you can't, how can you say that you are not a child if you are already in charge, you can't..." Li Yuehan pushed him out, smiling very softly and gritted his teeth, "Eunuch, the night is deep, go and rest .”

Wang Gonggong: "..." He is just a prisoner but he thinks that His Majesty has no queen or concubine.How to spread the branches and leaves, and besides the many ministers in the court, some of them basically read it once a day.When the late emperor was there, Li Qinghan had no sense of existence. Although those concubines wanted to raise him, the late emperor did not hand him over to any concubine, and no concubine would take the initiative to invite him. It is a taboo to be the queen, let alone think of the prince.

Just like a vain position, no high-ranking official would not want to marry his daughter to a prince who is about to be abolished, not to mention all the high-ranking officials are human beings, and no one will support him.The daughters of other officials can also be reluctant, but it is too low. How can a dignified princess be the daughter of a petty official? The royal family does not want a prince, but it does not want royal face.In this way, it was too high to be too low until the first emperor died, and the queen mother played around with it, and Li Qinghan barely sat on the throne.

At that time, he was only 16 years old, and the queen mother was behind the curtain to listen to the government. It was not until the second year that Li Qinghan really took charge of the government, but there was still no queen or concubine.

So when he was 19 years old, the regent stepped in and took the lead... But your majesty is the king of a country, how long can they last, after all, they are teenagers...

Eunuch Wang glanced at the back room, shook his head and left.

"Drink medicine."

"Yeah." Li Qinghan lifted the bowl and looked up, the bottom of the bowl was gone, only the dregs of the writing remained.

Li Yuehan: "..." He thought...he asked, "Can't you let me feed you? Is the medicine bitter?"

"do not know."

"..."

He just finished decocting the medicine, and put a few rock sugars in it out of fear of suffering. Li Yuehan scooped a spoonful to try it out. Facts have proved that curiosity can really kill a cat.He ate four or five rock candies in a row.

Li Yuehan sat over, "Haha, isn't it? I don't think it's bitter. How did you drink the medicine?" It is also proved that Li Yuehan was most afraid of taking medicine since he was a child. A few candies.

"That's it." Li Qinghan sat upright, put his hands on his knees obediently, and replied with expressionless eyes.

Li Yuehan looked at him and sighed in his heart, how could someone be so serious and cute.He continued to stroke Li Qinghan's hair, "Okay, go back to your room and sleep."

"Oh."

With the moon in the sky, Li Qinghan lay on the bed and blinked.

Li Yuehan bent over and carefully tucked the quilt for him, "Okay, I'm going back to sleep." He turned around and closed the window, "Don't catch a cold at night, it's already like this."

Li Qinghan nodded.

He walked outside the door, and when he was about to close the door and go back to his room, he continued to mutter, "Also, don't kick on the quilt at night, think of it as a medicine jar."

"I'm not a child, I'm older than you." Li Qinghan turned around and closed his eyes.

"Yes, yes, cousin..." Li Yuehan smiled wryly. He was also very scared, and caring was confused, and he didn't understand human feelings at all.

He closed the door and went back to his room.
