virtuous king

The scope affected by the snowstorm this time is quite extensive, and the disasters in various places vary from mild to severe, among which Suzhou is the heaviest.

The disaster relief team led by He Shangshu and I arrived in a small city in the north of Suzhou in the evening. At that time, the sun was already halfway down. I proposed to spend the night in the inn first, and then start various disaster relief matters tomorrow.

Living in the inn, Liu Yanqing and I were of course assigned to the same upper room. I also thought about sharing a room with him, but after thinking about it, Liu Yanqing was weak, and he had suffered a lot during the journey, and his hands and feet were all born. Frostbite, if he was allowed to live alone in a room and left unattended at night, he might suffer from typhoid fever.

My original intention is very pure and considerate, it can even be said that I am very considerate of others, but in the eyes of He Yunli, my original intention of considering others seems a bit malicious.

In the room, I saw He Yunli standing in the lobby through the crack of the door. The latter was looking up at the door of my room and shaking his head repeatedly, frowning so hard that he could kill flies.

Liu Yanqing watched me coldly from the sidelines, sticking my buttocks on the door in an obscene manner, and raised an eyebrow: "Why didn't your Highness explain this time?"

"There is nothing to explain. The more you describe, the darker it gets. It's better to shut up." After hearing Liu Yanqing's words, I straightened up and walked to the bed in a rather melancholy manner. I picked up the quilt skillfully and shook it, then turned my head and said to Liu Yanqing. : "According to the old rules, you sleep on the bed and the king sleeps on the floor."

Liu Yanqing seemed to mutter something in a low voice, raised his head and looked at me with the corners of his eyes lifted: "It's not a bad thing to sleep together, why, Your Highness is still afraid that I will become a wolf at night and do something beastly?"

While laying the quilt on the floor, I smiled and said without raising my head: "No, no, I still sleep on the floor. I'm not afraid of you, but because I'm afraid that I'll go crazy again and make you abrupt."

Liu Yanqing raised his hand, as if he wanted to get out of bed and grab my quilt. I have been tricked by him many times, and I already have some experience in dealing with it. Seeing him raise his hand, he immediately rolled up the quilt and hugged him tightly.

Liu Yanqing moved his lips, stretched out the quilt and lay down on the bed.

The cold in the south is more difficult to bear than in the north. I rolled myself into a spring roll with the quilt, turned my head to look at Liu Yanqing who was sleeping on the bed and breathing lightly, thinking that I hadn’t slept in bed for a long time, and felt that I was covering the sky with this rumor. His Royal Highness Qi Wang is very useless.

It has been a year since I came back to Dachu, during which time my reputation has not improved, and my money has not increased. The only thing that has improved is more and more green hats on my body, and thicker skin on my face.

This is not the way to go.

I tossed and turned on the hard floor, unable to sleep well, turned over several times, and finally sat up cross-legged wrapped in a quilt, hesitantly said: "Yanqing, do you want to be majestic?"

Liu Yanqing turned around and lay on his side, bent his elbows and propped up half of his body, staring at me quietly, without speaking.

I persisted and said: "Tomorrow we have to see the governor of Suzhou. I thought, this kind of magistrate will definitely not know what I look like. Maybe I can take this opportunity to change my identity with you, so that I can do things more conveniently - of course, I know that Bad reputation, if you don't want to be scolded this time, this king will not force you."

The further I spoke, the deeper the smile on Liu Yanqing's face, until I stopped under his meaningful gaze, and said slowly: "What does Your Highness want to do?"

I tightened the quilt on my body, and said with a slung face: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my king's status is there, and I will definitely be worshiped by this group of people as an ancestor. I don't know how long I will eat. You have to be watched after eating a few bowls of rice. If... if it were you, what I mean is that if you are allowed to be the king of Qi who stays at home, I can go out... Hey, hey .”

Liu Yanqing said clearly: "Your Highness wants to investigate people's sentiments?"

I nodded and said, "That's right. You can't find someone who is too timid to do this kind of thing. I'll feel more at ease when I leave it to you."

Liu Yanqing lowered his head, his face looked very gloomy in this pitch black night, paused, and said softly: "Your Highness, if I didn't know that you have changed your soul in this shell, I would have thought you were thinking about that A seat under the ass."

I was shocked and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This king has no interest in that thing at all!"

Liu Yanqing lowered his eyes and said: "You are right to think so, but I'm afraid that others don't think so. Now that you have great power, if you really wash it--I mean, if you really win a sage The king's reputation, the emperor can't tolerate you."

You can't get a bad reputation, you can't get a good name, there are so many twists and turns in the mortal world, I said a little dejectedly: "How can I say this, my king is not wicked and there is something wrong?"

Liu Yanqing smiled, and patiently explained to me: "The mortal world is different... from the place His Highness used to be. All ordinary people are greedy and jealous. The higher you stand, the more jealous you are. Your Highness was notorious in the past. When you are unpopular, those above are at most worried about the power in your hands, but if His Highness really wins the hearts of the people in the future, that person should worry about your treason."

"It's true that the common people want a wise master, and they even hope that everyone from the emperor to the Zhima officials will be free-spirited, but the emperor is different. After all, there are only a few open-minded people. What most emperors want is neither a virtuous king nor a traitorous king. , but King Yong.”

I listened to him quietly, and said in a muffled voice, "Actually, the sky is not so good."

There really isn't much good in heaven.

People in the mortal world want to fight for power, want to have sex, and want to be fair and aboveboard, but it is different in the sky. Countless rules are placed there, and those who are bound are uncomfortable. Are you free?

In my opinion, the only gods who are truly at ease are the Jade Emperor and his family.

Even though there are all kinds of bad things in the sky, I still want to go back.

I said: "Actually, this king understands what you said, but this king can't live in ignorance. I have to make progress, I have to cultivate merit, and I can only go back after I have cultivated enough merit."

Liu Yanqing seemed to be talking to himself and also seemed to be asking me: "Can't I not answer?"

I pretended I didn't hear it, so I poked my neck and laughed: "It's getting late, go to sleep."

A night without dreams.

The next morning, Liu Yanqing and I changed clothes, ordered Douzi to call other members of the disaster relief team to gather for a meeting, and explained my plan in detail. During this period, He Yunli insisted on opposing it on the grounds of breaking the rules, but I suppressed it with force Of.

Not long after breakfast, Tian Zifeng, the governor of Suzhou, led us to live in the hotel with a battle. After bowing his hands to He Yunli, he walked up to Liu Yanqing with a warm face, bowed with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Highness, forgive me The officer has been negligent."

When Liu Yanqing heard Tian Zifeng call him His Highness, his facial features were almost distorted, and after a long time, he replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty Tian, ​​you are welcome, we...we have just arrived not long ago."

Tian Zifeng nodded and bowed his head to talk, and after about two cups of tea, Tian Zifeng finally noticed my presence, he let out a sigh, and squinted at me, saying: "Which lord is this?"

I greeted Tian Zifeng, bent over and was about to answer, but Liu Yanqing, who was standing beside me, snapped back and said, "Don't worry about him, warm the bed."

Tian Zifeng and I gasped at the same time.

Tian Zifeng tilted his head to look at me suspiciously, and said for a while, "This...it doesn't look like that, isn't His Highness trying to take down the official for fun?"

Liu Yanqing took a step back, put his arm around my waist, and said with crooked eyebrows, "What did you lie to me, this king likes him like this."

Liu Yanqing was half a head shorter than me. He said he was hugging me, but it was more like hanging on my body. Tian Zifeng looked at it and then looked at it, his face trembling uncontrollably: "I never thought that... Your Highness and the rumored It's very different, and His Highness's hobbies are also somewhat different from the rumors, His Highness allows you two days...let me...let me prepare again."

Liu Yanqing was puzzled and said, "What are you preparing again?"

Tian Zifeng smiled and didn't answer, he looked a bit speechless, clasped his hands in front of his chest for a while and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Mr. He, Your Highness, everyone is tired on the road, why don't you rest here first. After lunch, I will report the disaster situation here to everyone in detail."

Liu Yanqing tilted his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Lao Tian is here." With permission, Tian Zifeng withdrew respectfully.

I stood at a distance and thought about it, but I still couldn't suppress the curiosity in my heart, so I simply hung behind Tian Zifeng from a distance, trying to find out what he was going to prepare again.

I hid behind the brick wall and saw Tian Zifeng left the hotel with a sigh. There were two people waiting for him at the door, one was in his forties with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, and the other was fourteen or fifteen years old with a fair and clean appearance.

People in their forties saw Tian Zifeng coming out of the hotel, went up to meet him and said, "My lord, do you think this child is good?"

Tian Zifeng lowered his head and took a rough look at the child, shook his head and lowered his voice: "No, our news is wrong, that little doll who doesn't like such a delicate skin and tender flesh, go change it..."

Tian Zifeng paused, twitched his beard and said, "Go and get a stronger one."

My foot slipped and I nearly hit my head against the wall.

After a dazed effort, I heard the person on the other side of the wall say: "Master Tian, ​​the meaning of your words, could it be that you understand the meaning..."

Tian Zifeng choked for a moment, suppressed his voice and said, "It's probably what you understand."

I stood there in a daze and listened to them chewing their tongues. My face turned from white to green and then to black, and I felt the hairs on my back stand on end.

I can already imagine how grand it will be when gossip like "His Royal Highness is a bullied rabbit" spreads all over the streets of Suzhou in the near future...
