Bring a boyfriend home for Lantern Festival

D16

The emperor was in a dilemma, and the prime minister suddenly said that the emperor in the world treats the people equally, and that the emperor is really exhausted in a natural disaster, so why not send a prince to represent the court to relieve the disaster, which is actually to appease the hearts of the people.

Originally, the emperor couldn't think of a better countermeasure for a while, but it is not impossible for him to send another prince out, but he doesn't know who is the most suitable to send out.

The prince heard that the Nanhe River was dry and the ground was cracked, and the victims were dissatisfied with the court, so he didn't want to go to this muddy water. When everyone was silent, Cheng Shi personally recommended:

"The emperor cares about the world, but there are so many things in the court that it is difficult to escape. The princes will definitely be willing to do it for you. King Yuexian must have the same intention!"

Yu Tianze, who was suddenly named, stared at Master Cheng, and made a note of this account in his heart. Anyone with some brains would know that this kind of errand is not a good one, but it's not because he doesn't want to solve the emperor's worries and problems, let alone it concerns the Nanhe generation. Many people.

It's just that he has always been with Concubine An, and Concubine An is the younger sister of the assistant minister. Needless to say, the important ministers in the court divided him into the assistant minister's party on their own. I don't know.

Yu Tianze walked to the front of the hall and promised the emperor in front of the ministers, "My ministers are willing to go to Nanhe for disaster relief, and I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

"Natural disasters are expected, and the people suffer. Although I am a mortal, my heart is for the common people. If the sky does not follow people's wishes, I will do my best to protect the safety of my people."

"The emperor is deeply aware of righteousness, and I am a humble minister to thank the emperor for his grace on behalf of the common people in the world."

The emperor is easy-going, but now every word is cherished, and every sentence pierces into the hearts of caring people, Yu Tianze is no exception, suddenly feels that this emperor is worthy of being the proud son of heaven, and the world can learn from his heart.

Cheng Shi was like the emperor's number one fan, he was the first minister to shout "Long live" excitedly, and the others also shouted "Long live", usually Yu Tianze always felt that the minister's long live was no different from the rhetoric to coax the leader.

But now he was deeply shocked by the majesty of the emperor, and the exciting atmosphere in the court hall also deeply moved him, and he couldn't help shouting "Long live!"

Time waits for no one, so he set off to Nanhe for disaster relief that day, and the emperor personally sent him to the palace gate. Originally, Yu Tianze also thought that the disaster area must be much more miserable than what others said, but when he actually arrived at Nanhe, Surprised.

The city of Nanhe is desolate at first glance. Most of the houses here are adobe houses, and a few brick houses can be vaguely seen on both sides of the street, as if to make the city look less bleak.

Walking into the street, there was no trace of green, and the dry and cracked earth walls seemed to be cracked and collapsed at any moment. Yu Tianze felt that the environment here was really bad, but he walked along with the officials leading the team and found that there was no sign of it. to a common people.

"Why don't you see people here?"

A younger man walked out of the crowd. Hearing King Yuexian's question, he immediately walked in front of Yu Tianze, and after bowing to Yu Tianze, he explained:

"Reporting to the lord, it's a dry day, and the people have fled to the mountains to escape the summer heat, and even some people are hiding at home and refusing to come out."

Yu Tianze saw that the county magistrate was still young but revealed a calm temperament that had been experienced in the officialdom.When An Pingzhi raised his head, Yu Tianze could see his appearance clearly. The eyebrows and eyes of this man were slender, and the distance between the eyes was slightly wide. breath.

Yu Tianze has always judged based on his own appearance. This person must not be a fuel-efficient lamp. He knows that it is impossible for a person like himself who comes from a distance and is within the high wall to ask questions from these officials. What.

So they continued to escort the grain to the granary. The receptionist originally wanted to ask Yu Tianze to go to the place prepared in advance to rest first, but Yu Tianze wanted to go to the granary with them.

Seeing the empty granary, Yu Tianze asked An Pingzhi, "Where did all the grain go?"

"Reporting to the prince, the original food here has been distributed to the people, but now the food here is exhausted, and the people are already hungry, and now they all go to the mountains to eat bark."

"Bark?"

"That's right! The thousand-year-old tree in the mountain has also suffered. It has been peeled off by someone, and it is now withered."

Looking at the empty granary, Yu Tianze couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that no matter when and where, this natural disaster is the easiest to defeat human beings.He asked An Pingzhi to take him for a stroll around the city, and knocked on the doors of several houses himself. Sure enough, as An Pingzhi said, there were indeed no people in the street.

"My lord, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest first! It's not suitable for us to go out at night."

"It's not appropriate to go out?"

An Pingzhi seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and immediately lowered his head, rolling his eyes in his eye sockets. Seeing him deliberately concealing the truth, the general accompanying him scolded him, asking him to speak quickly Don't try to hide something from King Yuexian.

This An Pingzhi looked around, as if he was afraid of being overheard by someone, he lowered his voice and said:

"My lord, in fact, I don't dare to speak nonsense, it's just that this happened so often that it's hard for me to tell the truth."

"What's the matter, just say it, there are no outsiders here."

After taking a peek at the mighty general, tremblingly, he told Yu Tianze exactly what he had heard and seen. Yu Tianze didn't believe in folk ghosts and gods. Hearing An Pingzhi's words, he thought he was talking nonsense gibberish.

Just as he was about to speak, the door next to him suddenly opened, and everyone who had just heard An Pingzhi's words was taken aback. The accompanying general immediately drew his sword. In front of Yutianze.

Yu Tianze looked at the door that was pushed open from the inside, a pair of brown pupils looked at the group of people outside through the crack of the door, Yu Tianze expressed his condolences to An Pingzhi with great concern, and pulled him away with one hand.

Opening the space, Yu Tianze opened the door, and there was an old lady inside. Seeing his attire, the old lady felt that he was not an ordinary person, so she let go and opened the door with confidence.

There was also a little boy inside the door. Seeing Yu Tianze, he immediately hid behind the old lady, trembling all over. In order to appease her grandson, the old lady muttered, "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

Yu Tianze was slightly taken aback, and felt that the boy looked familiar. It should be that the frowning was somewhat similar to his playmate when he was young!

He took out a bag of snacks from his arms, and handed them to the child with a smile. The child looked at the delicate pastry, and then at the big brother who was more delicate and beautiful than the pastry. It is better to accept.

After receiving the pastry, the little boy said thank you, Yu Tianze nodded in satisfaction, and then set his sights on the old lady,

"Hi old man, I'm from another place, so I'm not very familiar with the situation here? Where have all the people here gone?"

The old lady saw that he was very enthusiastic about her grandson, so she told him that all the people here had gone to the mountains. Hearing that what the people said was in agreement with what the magistrate An said, she felt less grudge against magistrate An.

Suddenly remembered something, and asked the old lady:

"In that case, why don't you go to the mountains? Is it because you are old?"

"That's right! My son and daughter-in-law are gone, and only my old bones and this little grandson are left. Anyway, life and death are up to fate, so why bother."

I never thought that this old lady would be so open-minded. She must have seen through the cycle of cause and effect in the world, so she would rather resign herself to fate!Yu Tianze ordered someone to bring some food to them.

When someone called Yu Tianze the prince, the old lady immediately knelt down and saluted. Yu Tianze helped her up and planned to send her into the house. Unexpectedly, the old lady stubbornly refused to be helped by him and let herself His grandson personally sent them away.

Not long after Yu Tianze left, the door was opened again, this time from the outside, the old lady who was originally sitting on the chair got up immediately after hearing the door open, when she saw the person who was wearing black clothes and covered her face, After she looked, the smile on her face froze in an instant, and turned into panic. Before she could make a sound, her throat had been cut.

Seeing this, the child ran out, the man immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, his feet stopped suddenly, and when he lowered his head, the old lady stared at him with ferocious eyes.

Pulling hard, he tore off the hairpin and chased it out. The child fell to the ground as soon as he ran out of the door. He was still young and would only sit on the ground and cry. At this time, the man in black walked away with a bloody knife. out.

His face, which was tightly wrapped in a black cloth, seemed to send out a killing signal. The child only felt that he was going to die, and couldn't even cry, and just looked at the man in black who was approaching in front of him stupidly.

At this moment, a person suddenly came down from the sky and stood in front of the child. The man in black suddenly stopped in his footsteps, and then cut him down with a fierce knife.

With a crisp sound, the knife was split into two by the sword that blocked it. It seemed that he couldn't believe his eyes, and the man even pulled the cloth on his face deliberately.

I saw the man in front of him with a dark mask on his face, a handsome figure, also dressed in black, and holding a slender sword in his hand. The sword looked slender but the material was not his own at first glance. It can be compared with the broken knife.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he threw out a gun casually, and the man immediately turned around and lifted the child on the ground, hugged him into his arms, held a sword in the other hand, and waited for the attack of the man in black in the smoke.

Sure enough, the man in black flung out the poisonous needle while taking advantage of the smoke, but unfortunately he missed a single needle. He never expected to meet a master, and the man in black threw another gun and was about to run away, but suddenly a sword came from behind, Enduring the severe pain, he fled the scene.

Seeing the person running away, the masked man put down the child in his arms and immediately entered the room. After seeing the corpse lying on the ground, he stopped the child who was about to walk in.

The child didn't know whether it was fear or courage, and he didn't cry bitterly when he saw the corpse on the ground, but just quietly lay on the shoulder of the rescuer, and was taken away by him.
