Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] National Crisis?

Hugging Ying and falling, the drop was about a meter or more, but he couldn't stand up beforehand, so he could only fall sideways, landing on his back.What's annoying is that the ground stopped shaking after the fall, and led Ying and the two women to stand on the open space under the loggia as if they were punished for a while, then saw the butler come over with his hands.It is gratifying that, apart from my twisted neck, only one primary school teacher who was standing under the eaves was hit on the head by the falling tiles. The palace and Zhuangzi are all intact, and even the wine steaming workshop was pushed halfway. Luckily, the dangerous walls didn't fall down.

"No matter how big or small the family is, they all moved out and slept in their own yards. In summer, except for a few bites from mosquitoes, at least they won't be crushed to death by the house." Supporting his neck, he turned his head a few times with difficulty. It was okay, and there was no sign of hemiplegia. , "I also informed Zhuangzi, and they all slept in their own yards. We will start building a shack in the middle of the yard tomorrow morning, and we will make it up tonight."

"In the back house?" Although no one came in or out of the back house, the butler finally felt that it was not elegant for the owner and his wife to sleep in the yard, "Why don't the old man build the arbor right now..."

"No need," made up his mind, counted one, two, three silently in his heart, twisted his neck suddenly in the opposite direction with a 'click', and it fell into place.He sucked in the pain, grinned and became flexible, it's worth it! "Okay, what should I do? At night, my wife and I will go to sleep in the thatched pavilion in the back garden, so we won't bother."

"Uncle Qian, find someone to take linen cloth and hang up the curtain on the high pavilion behind the garden. The thatched pavilion is too close to the pool, so it's very cold and uninhabitable." Ying denied my idea with a smile, she made the decisions at home, Talk a lot. "The servant girl from the back house also followed. We will build two small shacks first, and then reinforce them tomorrow. Also, you and Mr. Hu will build shacks in the yard tonight, and Dr. Zhou will also join us. The three of you are not allowed to make any mistakes!" Arrange your own house back.Assign servants to visit relatives and friends' homes to visit safety, while Lanling's family visits in Ying's name.

"Yes!" Ying spoke more authoritatively than I did, the butler responded swiftly, turned around and hurried away.

"Next time when I make arrangements, you are not allowed to interrupt!" Seeing that the butler walked away and climbed onto the veranda again, the food was stable and unchanged, "It's not big or small!"

"Yes!" Ying squatted down and lifted the skirt of the second daughter to have a look.Smeared with saliva, I rubbed it indiscriminately, "Break some oily skin, it's okay." He poked his finger at the second daughter bitterly, and glanced at me, "I'm so beautiful! You're the first one to get down and go up to eat!"

The narrow-minded look of a woman, didn't I twist my neck as a meat pad?No conscience.The second daughter probably also has an opinion, she can tell by her appearance.Usually Ying would smile when poking her, but this time she turned her face and didn't know what to think, the food was not good.Shaking his head helplessly, at that time there was no kung fu in his mind, whoever had a good position would go first.I'm not a discus thrower, so how can I throw two women down at once? It's already extraordinary to be able to lift the two women so far, if I try again.According to the current weight of the second daughter, it is difficult to move anywhere.

"What's the fuss?" Grabbed the chopsticks and tapped the rice plate a few times, "If this happens again in the future, you two and I don't care, just run away alone! Hurry up and eat! Find a beating."

"What's the fuss?" Ying sat down cross-legged next to me, took a mouthful of food and offered her courtesy, "God's punishment. This is a small shaking. I just hope that there will be no more in the future. There is a big movement, but it's great. We There are people in Zhuangzi who escaped because of this."

"Stop talking nonsense, God punishes bullshit." Love to show off without knowledge, ignorant.Turned over the chopsticks and knocked on the second daughter, hair porcelain, I was so used to it that I didn't look good.I finished eating early and went to sleep in the pavilion, I can't wait any longer.Haven't slept in the open for many years.This time, I brought my family and mouth dry, and the garden was gloomy in the middle of the night.It must be exciting to sleep on.

Lanling was worried about me, so he sent someone over at night to pass on the message, and brought over a lot of materials for tents for hunting. They were designed like military tents, made of leather, and very high-end.Ying was very curious about the leather tent, and immediately asked people to set it up, and canceled the pavilion plan, and the family of three changed to sleep in tents, which was still exciting.

Three days later, news of a major earthquake in Luochuan (Shangluo area, Shaanxi Province, according to the county annals, was severely affected and caused landslides, blocking official roads for nearly three months) reached the capital.Luochuan is one of the main roads connecting Guanzhong and Jiannan, an important town in the Qinling Mountains, and a strategic location. It has been said since ancient times that "take Luochuan to see Guanzhong", and it is the gateway of the capital.The whole court was shocked by this catastrophe.The official road leading from Guanzhong to Luochuan was blocked, and it was difficult to dispatch relief supplies to the disaster area. They had to go around the mountain roads from Hanzhong and Jinzhou to provide assistance. Said, Fan Luochuan sent the newspaper directly to the palace to wait for the emperor's approval.

"There are countless dead and injured, and the weather is so hot that it may cause a plague." Lan Ling said here, with a dejected expression on his face, "Once the plague rises..."

"Are there any specific statistics?" Can't bear to see Lan Ling like this, but there is nothing he can do.The plague is a big problem. In this era, it cannot be controlled if you want to control it.Especially in the disaster areas, once the corpses of humans and animals rot, and the rainwater rushes into the waterways, and now the official roads are blocked, all kinds of materials can't get in, it's hard to think about it.

Lan Ling shook his head, "Now the passage is blocked, and we all rely on the small road in the mountain to pass the news. It was a two-day journey, but now it will take three or four days to arrive." Looking at me, "You have many ways, think One out."

Lan Ling was able to ask all these questions, it seemed that he was really in a hurry to go to the doctor.What can I do? Think about what I have seen on TV for flood relief. "Drink boiled water, repel mosquitoes, and regularly disinfect the residence with lime water. Once the disease is found, it will be immediately isolated. The officials will lead the mobilization of the whole people to donate money and clothes. The army will be used to rebuild their homes. I will also have a meal with the disaster victims and commanders in the hardest-hit areas to appease the hearts of the people... Also, focus on publicizing a few heroic deeds to boost the morale of the whole people to fight the disaster together, make it tragic, and then... let fate."

"Wait a minute," Lan Ling drew a pen and paper to record, "it's reasonable to drink boiled water and repel mosquitoes. As you said before, it's easy to burn lime for disinfection with lime water. Officials take the lead in donating this and that," said Here, I shook my head, "The imperial court has not fallen to this point, and the non-governmental donations will be exempted. I can't afford to lose face. The army has already passed by, and the focus is on public security. In fact, it is not impossible to use it to help rebuild the disaster area... The head of the central government, who are you referring to?"

"Whoever is older." Shaking his head, since yesterday, he can finally spin freely, "Shangshu, Zhongshu, and Prince Taibao. It is really impossible to become a prince, princess, or empress. The emperor doesn't know if it will be?" I remember the news. Here, the hardest-hit areas must have the condolences of the chairman Yujia in person. I don’t know if the ancient emperors had this awareness.

"The emperor can't do it!" Lan Ling glared at me, "Nonsense! If you go back and forth for half a month, you won't be afraid of affecting the government. The minister and the chancellor are both on official business, and now there is going to be a war in the front, and there will be disasters in the back. I can't do without." He held his chin and thought for a while, "My lord, there are quite a few. But after all, it's an errand that attracts people's hearts. It's not suitable for lords, and it's not easy to go. Maybe there will be only princesses left."

"Calm down." Hearing Lanling's words, the wind was not right, and there was a posture of Luan driving a personal conquest, "Isn't there still a lady and a prince! Let's talk about it. You are a woman, and you are still a widow. It is not appropriate to go. A woman's family shows her face How shabby is it? Even if you want to go, the emperor won’t approve it, so it’s not enough to lose money.”

"But it's a joke, which dynasty's rules are you talking about?" Lan Ling gave me a disdainful look, "I don't care if the lady goes or not, but Luochuan is also considered as a part of Guanzhong. I've passed it too. At most, it’s just a matter of saying hello. Don’t tell me if you show your face to me, it’s not like my aunt has never beaten Jiangshan, if my father is alive, listen to you, believe it or not, hang it on the city wall and let it dry?”

"Don't talk about the plague. Don't involve food and drink." Lan Ling's words were correct.It may have something to do with the blood of the Li family. The style of the Tang Dynasty royal family was relatively open in Chinese history.In the past, there was the third lady (Princess Pingyang) who set up a base area behind the enemy in Guanzhong to show off her power, and later there was Princess Taiping who took power and participated in politics.As the eldest princess, Lanling is famous for her intelligence, she is quite prestigious in the court and the public, and she is also favored by Li Zhi. She is not as taboo as other princes. It is reasonable to come forward to appease the victims on behalf of the Li family, but I am not so open to the Li family. At this point, there may be aftershocks in the past after a major earthquake, and the aftershocks are often more harmful than the major earthquake, and it is too dangerous to run at this time.He sternly said: "You can't go, what's the point! Isn't it just a plague, since it's my wife, I'll find a way, and you stop the meeting!"

"Okay, think about it." Lan Ling saw me change color, smiled and waved his hands, "It's a good thing to know that you love me, if you don't go, don't go, what are you calling for?"

"It's not something I should worry about. For you, a woman, I'm reluctant to do it. For the sake of the country and the people, forget it once." The purpose is to prevent Lan Ling from getting into this troubled water. The law and order in the disaster area is absolutely chaotic. Where to go, and in life, once the water is polluted, the germs don't care about your status, you should clean it up, and she is a golden branch, so going there will inevitably cause trouble for others, and it will not help. "There are many ways, too many, and I can't think of them for a while. You should go and report first. The first thing is to disinfect with boiling water and lime, and then to deal with the wounded. Since the royal court has given the Wang family the right to make wine, you might as well buy some wine. Doctor, there must be enough herbs, my wife's natal family is a herbal merchant..."

"Stop!" Lan Ling slapped me and interrupted, "I'm a little lost. When is the time, I'm still thinking about soliciting business from my family. Prepare your wine for me, and I'll report it now!"

Just leave, no affection.Call Diying who is dividing the warehouse on the grain depot, and get a thousand catties from the wine cellar, and wait for Lanling to send someone to come and take it away.

"So much?" Ying was a little reluctant, "What price will you give to the court?"

"This..." If it is paid according to the price set with the court two days ago, it will not show that we have done a good deed, but it should be cheaper. I am afraid that in the future, people will get more at a cheaper price and suffer a disadvantage. Now that Lan has agreed As for the matter of the mausoleum, it is better to be generous. "deliver!"

"Give it away?" Ying looked at me and clapped her hands, "Then I'll give it away. It's a good deal, you always want to leave a reputation, such a big thing comes out..." After thinking for a while, "It's more than a thousand catties, let others see it. I thought it was as rich as our family, two hundred catties was enough. First, don’t make taboos, and second, don’t provoke gossip. It’s not a matter of how much, what matters is friendship, to show your heart.”

The fourth child is a cunning person, so he came to discuss with her sister in the afternoon, and wanted to build up the image of the Chen family in the event of the earthquake.Opening his mouth, he was about to donate medicinal materials there, saying that he had already discussed with his family, and this time he invested the capital. Once the donation channels were opened up, all the drugstores in Chen's family would be closed for three days immediately, and the big brands would be sold out. In the disaster area, our store is temporarily out of stock, so it is closed for three days...

"It's a good idea. Hehe..." Yingxi grinned from ear to ear, "Then come to me to discuss something, don't you have a relationship with the inner mansion, talk to there directly, maybe they are willing to take our family something."

The fourth child thought I couldn't see because I squinted my eyes and pretended to be asleep, so he pointed at me and said softly, "I came here to see my brother-in-law. After all, I have seen a lot. Sister, you can ask me for me."

"Your brother-in-law knows." She pouted at me, "I'm just pretending, I'm lazy on the chair, I just don't want to say anything."

"Betrayed me again." Without opening his eyes, he said slowly: "The fourth brother's method is good, and he has gained dignity and popularity. The pharmacy in such a big place has suddenly closed for three days for disaster relief. Everyone who is not making trouble knows it. Go to Even if you sell rat poison in the future, people will eat it, believe it or not?"

"No good words!" Ying smiled and slapped me in the face.

"That's the reason, brother-in-law is right." The fourth child is not interested in rat poison, as long as the reason is correct, she will express it in any way. "I'll go directly to Princess Lanling. She can be a home in the inner mansion." He said proudly, "The last time I sent toilet water over there, my empress even said a few words to me through the curtain."

"But I have climbed a high branch!" Ying smiled happily, but I felt sour after hearing this. "Have you seen what it looks like?"

"No, listening to the voice is a blessing." The fourth child stood up and took a teacup.No matter who drank it, he drank it all in one gulp, and ran away without saying goodbye.

"Got it? The fourth child is not an ordinary trick, not something that can be restrained by your gentleness." I smiled, this sister-in-law is not usually strong, and her thoughts are also active, "Going forward. Just listen After the empress asked about this, no one would dare to underestimate her."

"Maybe it's the wrong concubine." Ying got up and took a cattail fan and came over to cool me off. "The fourth child looks good, and he's smart..."

"Stop!" Interrupting Yingdi with a smile, I'm not blind yet, although the aesthetic style is not high, it's not that big of a deviation. "In the future, you should praise when you should. Just open your eyes and talk nonsense. No matter how good the conditions are, you can't confuse the public."

"I didn't say anything about my concubine!" Ying tapped her cattail fan unwillingly. "With such a big commotion, it seems that it's time for an amnesty. I don't know what the emperor will say this time."

"Fuck your own heart." Although he said so, there is really no way to explain what happened according to the current common sense. Since ancient times, the emperor has loved to put gold on his face, saying that he accidentally provoked others by saying such natural disasters God and God said so, which shows that the emperor and God are related.Or say that ignorance is caused by backward thinking. It stands to reason why the common people should replace the disaster when the emperor provoked God. It is obviously unfair to scold others in a roundabout way.

That's what he said, but Li Zhi still took God's face and made a deep self-criticism. The content of the self-criticism was very strange, and he took care of things that were half-baked. The flood was a warning, and he didn't pay attention and still went his own way. It caused earthquakes and the like, and both the people and the heavens admitted their mistakes.

It's pitiful for Li Zhihuang to be fooled. Others say that he is like Li Shimin if he does some meritorious deeds, and it is his own fault for some disasters. When Lan Ling explained the edict to me, I was still sad for a long time.They are all men, and I sometimes get angry when I am outside, but I am not qualified to suffer this anger in front of the people of the whole country. From Li Zhi's point of view, I have to be angry to death.

"Poor thing, I've been responsible for everything." She couldn't help showing a sympathetic expression, "Do you think the emperor's bad deeds have something to do with the earthquake?" It got involved, and said that the queen was fine, and changing to a new one made God unhappy. If Queen Wu was still there, maybe something would happen.I dare not say this to Lan Ling, and I squatted at the base of the wall to listen to other people's discussions.

"Is it easy to be the emperor?" Lanling spread his hands helplessly, "You are the head of the family, and if something happens to your family, you will always ask you to reason. For this reason, the emperor has become the head of the country. No matter what happens, he will not come out to pick it How to do it? Also, according to what you said, earthquakes are like farting, if you can’t hold it back, it’s embarrassing to show off in the future.”

"That's the truth!" I made a bit of a vulgar analogy, and I didn't mean to give Lan Ling a general understanding.It's also for the emperor, ah no, it's for a suffering male compatriot. "I'm most afraid of being wronged by others in my life. It's the same. Anyone who wants to put other people's shit on his head. Forget it, I won't tell you about it. The wine from the Wang family and the medicinal materials from the Chen family are all sent up. My family won't say anything. Well, it is considered an official family, and it is right to contribute to the country. The Chen family needs to be commended, after all, it is a model merchant." In the morning, Ying explained to me that she would help her mother's family in front of Lanling. .

"The whole family is tricky!" Lanling took out the new type of toilet water that the fourth son was filial to wiped on his temples, and said with a smile: "Although I hide my thoughts, I will serve the country after all, and there must be rewards. Now, the Inner Palace After starting this way, I deliberately praised some merchants, and slightly changed the discrimination against merchants in the ruling and opposition parties. The fourth brother is clever, and he took advantage of the boss's loophole to come in, hehe, it will be very troublesome."

oh?There is also such a big advantage, a little change in the image, since the emperor thinks it is necessary to do so, it is a great thing.But having said that, this Li Zhi is still too pitiful and sympathetic.
