[Sui and Tang Dynasties] The benefactor, the poor monk is a monk

Drive straight in and go straight to Xingzhou.Li Jiancheng led the army and surrendered all the way to the most important Xingzhou.Most of the cities along the road chose to give up struggling because Wei Zheng wrote a letter begging for mercy for Dou Jiande.

In addition, Li Jiancheng took measures such as allowing farmers to borrow food from the imperial court, allowing localities to reduce or exempt taxes due to disasters, etc., and the whole team was in a state of joy for a while without bloodshed.

After officially arriving in Xingzhou, Tanzong also began to exercise his authority.

Of course, Tanzong also dragged Wei Zheng along.

There are people who are too hungry to look like people everywhere, and among them, the young and middle-aged can still rely on their still strong bodies to work to get food, but the children are different.

A group of children with yellow and emaciated faces, tattered clothes, and yellow hair, who could not even distinguish between male and female, gathered together. As soon as they saw the well-dressed Tan Zong and Wei Zheng, they immediately greeted them.

A child who looked seven or eight years old seemed to know a lot. Seeing that Tan Zong had no hair, he immediately clasped his hands together and saluted, and kept saying, "Master, please help us. The Buddha is merciful, let us have a full meal."

As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down.

He is the leader of this group of children, and when the others saw his actions, they were quick to do the same, wanting to ask for food: "Master, master! Please!"

Tan Zong immediately opened his hands to try to stop them from kneeling, but it was really difficult to stop a group of people with his hands, so he had to dodge and dodge: "You don't kneel like this, the poor monk can't bear it."

The voice came from beside him, and the leading child immediately changed direction, trying to move people with emotion.

It was Wei Zheng who turned his head quickly: "You kneel down like this, we can't give you food now. It's better to get up first, let's find a way together."

Tan Zong nodded quickly: "Yes, you guys get up first. Let's go to the side and talk slowly, if we can help you find a way to have enough food, we will try our best to help you."

The leading child was also sensible, he stood up first, and helped a few people beside him by the way.

Tanzong didn't dislike the dust on their bodies, he pulled the leading child and asked, "Are you all homeless?"

The only thing that the leading child can see is a pair of eyes, which are very bright, and his speech is very logical: "Yes, we were all separated from our families during the war. I thought about such an important place in Xingzhou, There must be someone noble, so they sneaked in with everyone."

After hearing this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but look at the child a few more times: "It's smart."

The child was not afraid of life, and continued: "I heard that the prince of the Tang Dynasty came to recruit, but none of us in this group were willing to ask for it, and I couldn't think of any way, so I had to go around here to see if I could find someone to help .”

In times of war, there are people everywhere who can't get enough to eat.It is impossible for Tanzong to bring this group of children alone, so he has to find a way: "Since you are all separated, there must be some people who don't have children at home. I really can't find my family, so I find those people to join me." The whole family is fine too."

A child next to him, who looked like a girl, burst into tears upon hearing this: "Oh, no one, no one wants me... They don't want... No, I'm gone... Woooooo..."

The leading child bit his own lip: "Some of them were directly thrown away by the family, and they really couldn't afford to support them. Besides, if the life is better in the future, what you put together will not be as good as your own."

It's true... But if there is one, there is another. With so many people, it is impossible for the court to help support them. Tan Zong looked helplessly at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng also understands this difficulty: "That's right, if the child finds his biological parents, maybe that family will raise one for nothing, so we have to think of a way."

At this time, another child fixed his eyes on Tanzong, and said: "I, I don't care who raises me, as long as I have time to eat. If you raise me, I will grow up and help whoever works! I am not afraid of hardship." !"

... This means that he wants to go with him, and Tan Zong's head is even bigger.

The decision-making power for these orphans has now been delegated by Li Jiancheng to Tanzong.

Many people nearby saw that this group of poor children surrounded Tan Zong, Wei Zheng and others, but they were not chased away, so they couldn't help but surround them, wanting to get some benefits if they could get some benefits.

Seeing that there were more and more people around, the leading child became impatient, dragging and procrastinating in various ways: "Come with me first, and find a remote place before we talk."

Then a group of adults ran away with a group of children.

Although these children are small, they are extremely mobile. The older ones carry the smaller ones, and they scurry around, throwing away those who came up in a short while.

Tan Zong and others were also dragged to bumps, and Wei Zheng was lucky to be taken by Tan Zong, otherwise he would have been dumped to nowhere.

Seeing a dilapidated, uninhabited house, the leading child panted heavily and wiped his face with his hands: "Okay, okay... let's talk here..."

Tan Zong saw that he had smeared his face which could not be seen clearly, and did not do anything, but felt a little pity and admiration in his heart: "You live here?"

The child nodded violently, as if he was extremely tired: "Yes. Live here temporarily."

The house looks dilapidated, even the rain can't hide it.Fortunately, the weather is fine these days, otherwise I don't know how these children will survive.

Tan Zong thought for a while and asked Wei Zheng: "Tell me, should these children be recruited into the army, and they should be regarded as training boy scouts or something, so maybe they can serve the country in the future."

Wei Zheng looked at these children, pondered for a while, and shook his head: "Some children are okay, but all of them are impossible. Not everyone in the army can enter the army. If they can't keep up physically, they just die. What's more, not everyone For those who are willing to join the army, it is very hard to be a soldier.”

One can be solved, and the leading child looked at Wei Zheng: "Accept as many as you can, as long as you can settle everyone down well. Forget it, we beg you."

Tan Zong was being held by the child all the time, and he could feel his strength getting stronger and stronger. He sighed: "How about this, those who are willing to be soldiers, stand aside, and those who don't want to stand aside."

The children looked at each other and divided into two piles.

The leading child voluntarily joined those willing to serve as soldiers.

This kid is sure to be promising in the future.Tanzong suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked his name yet, so he asked, "Speaking of which, what's your name?"

The child paused, wanted to speak, but closed his mouth again, and finally said, "I don't have a name."

=皮= It clearly has a name but I don’t want to say it.

Tanzong is a monk, so he can't give this child a dharma name.

But the kid didn't seem to mind either: "Master, give me a name, anything."

Tanzong thought about it, but couldn't think of anything special, so he simply asked, "Do you have a favorite surname?"

He shook his head: "Don't give up your surname, just call it whatever you want."

Seeing that the children were asked by Tan Zong, Wei Zheng didn't join in the fun to help with naming, and didn't speak, just waiting for Tan Zong to deal with these children.

Tan Zong racked his brains and thought for a while: "In the monastery, they all take the name of the Dharma, or they are called Lingxian."

He nodded his head as a promise.

Tan Zong told those children who didn't want to join the army: "You all want to find your parents, or you just found your family members to make do, don't you?"

Those big and small children nodded.

Tan Zong continued: "That's fine, you can go back with us later, we will find a place to accommodate you first, you squeeze first, and then we will notify you, those who want to lead people will come to you, and then we How about letting the two of you make a contract that you will not find your biological parents in the future, and then abandon your adoptive parents?"

These horrible-looking children were obedient, and they were frightened by the poor life, so they obediently agreed.

As for those who want to join the army, Tanzong thought about it and decided to leave some leeway for his words: "Not all of you can be soldiers. If your health can't bear it, then you can deal with it like those children next to you, okay?"

Even if they can't be soldiers, there are ways to deal with it, and those children are more happy.

But a child among the group of children asked, "Female, can girls also serve as soldiers?"

... Girls seem to be able to serve as soldiers?Hey, no, I've never seen a girl serve as a soldier!How do girls become soldiers? !

As soon as the ignorant Tan Zong was about to veto it, Wei Zheng said first: "If you are in good health, you can also serve as a soldier. Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty, she has a team under her, which is all women."

Σ(っ°Д°;) っFuck, I don't know why, Tan Zong looked at Wei Zheng differently.

Wei Zheng received Tan Zong's different eyes, and nodded: "A heroine, the princess is also a capable person."

Okay, okay, Tan Zong pretended that he already knew it, and nodded: "Well, it mainly depends on whether you are in good health and whether you can endure hardship."

Now a group of children will be solved.

Tan Zong was very satisfied, and decided to ask Li Jiancheng for a reward later.

The requirements are not high, just a kiss is enough.

Gold, silver and treasure are nothing compared to a kiss!This is the true meaning of his life!

Tan Zong looked at the many children with a smile, and said, "Do you know any homeless children, you can call them together, and then we will form a team and go to the prince to solve it!"

What is meant by talking too fast, Tan Zong realized it deeply after a while.

The eyes of the newly named child lit up, and he turned his head to direct the important task: "Call Xingzhou, all the children you know who have nowhere to go."

...Wait... Tan Zong felt a little uneasy: "There are so many people?"

Lingxian nodded: "Many! Children are worthless these days! They are just burdens! If one is lost, the other will be lost too! Who knows when this hard life will end!"

...I always felt that I would be beaten by Li Jiancheng, and Tan Zong asked awkwardly: "How about this, let's go to the prince's side first, and then you go around to find those homeless children. Concentrating here is not a solution."

Ling Xian nodded: "Yes."

So everyone took the case and decided to return.
