Chapter 225 Three Yuan Prime Minister
After entering the farm and seeing the people walking in the snow and chasing the wind in the yard, Xie Ruitang was half relieved.But who is the owner of this farm?Why is he so incompatible with the refugees, yet the village and the refugees don't touch him at all?
Entering the hall, I saw a tall old man in gray robe sitting in the hall. When he saw them coming in, he didn't get up to salute. He just smiled and said: "Sure enough, there are some similarities. You Xie family, even if you are just a straw bag, you are all good-looking." Skin.”

"Junior Xie Ruitang, do you know my father?" Xie Ruitang asked with cupped hands.

The old man laughed, his gray beard and gray eyebrows trembling happily: "Not only do I recognize your father, I also recognize your grandfather and uncle!"

Xie Ruitang smiled and said, "I'm sorry for my humble eyesight, but I have never recognized an expert."

Before the father-in-law could say anything, Yan Shiyi interrupted: "I recognize him."

"Oh?" The old man looked at Yan Shiyi with interest. Seeing that he was fair-faced, handsome, with sharp eyes, he was about the same age as Xie Ruitang, and he couldn't tell what kind of young master he looked like, so he asked with a smile: "What about you? Tell me, who am I?"

"Back then, our people hunted you down. I was still young at that time, and I just followed my senior brother to run errands and watch the excitement." Yan Shiyi also said with a smile.

The old man nodded and asked him, "Are you Zhang Zhi's subordinate?"

"Calling him a dog is an insult to a dog. How could I be his subordinate?" Yan Shiyi said disdainfully.

The old man burst into laughter and said, "Then you must be the adopted son of the old thief Wang Man. He loves to call Zhang Zhi a dog, and always regards himself as the emperor's confidant. Don't you know that he is just one of the three dogs raised by the emperor." How is your hypocritical adoptive father?"

"As you wish, both Zhang Zhi and Wang Man have passed away to atone for their sins, Mr. Shang." Yan Shiyi stopped trying to show off, smiled and bowed with his hands in hand.

Hearing Yan Shiyi call "Master Shang", Xie Ruitang suddenly realized and saluted again: "It turns out to be Master Shang Hongshang. Disrespectful! When you left the court, I was less than ten years old, and I was still in the harem. , I have never met you. I never thought that I am destined to meet you here today."

It turned out that Shang Hong was a cabinet minister in the dynasty of Xie Ruitang's great uncle. When his grandfather proclaimed himself emperor again and his father ascended the throne, Shang Hong served as a cabinet minister. Later, because the emperor favored Zhang Zhi, he resigned angrily after many impeachments failed. , but did not return to his hometown and disappeared.

He has a legend that has always been talked about by readers.

When talking about Shang Hong, he learned about Yuan in the provincial examination. At that time, he was young and vigorous and did not take anyone seriously. Unexpectedly, he failed in the examination the next year.Shang Hong learned from the painful experience and went home to calm down and read. It lasted another ten years.When he was 28 years old, he took part in the imperial examination again and won the first prize in one fell swoop. He took part in the imperial examination that year and came out on top again, winning the first prize appointed by the emperor.Entered the Hanlin Academy as the number one scholar.

Later, Shang Hong became the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He also served as a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and became a cabinet minister.Because he once won three yuan in a row, everyone respected him as the "Three Yuan Prime Minister", No. 1 in the Chinese Dynasty, and the idol of the poor students in the Chinese Dynasty.

"Unexpectedly, those two villains who wanted my life ended their lives in front of me. How unpredictable things are! After I hid here, I stopped caring about worldly affairs. Even your identity is yours. Let me know, little friend." Shang Hong said with a smile.

"I wonder where my uncle is?" Xie Ruitang took Haitang, who was standing behind him, and introduced to Shang Hong: "This is my wife, and that little friend is her brother."

Shang Hong pointed to the door and said with a smile: "Him? He went to work in the fields. I'm an impatient kid, so let him temper his temper." Upon hearing this, Ling Xue hurriedly turned around and went out without waiting for the prince's instructions, looking for Cheng Hanbai.

"You guys sit down. I have lived in this mountain for nine years. I have seen this place gradually become a refuge for refugees. Without asking, I know that the government outside is unclear and corrupt officials are rampant. You just said that Wang Man and Zhang Zhidu Since he has surrendered to the law, there must be another villain beside the emperor."

"That's true. Now my father is obsessed with cultivating Taoism, allowing treacherous villains to take advantage of the loopholes. The five servants are holding the emperor to command the princes. Even if I am the prince, it is difficult for me to see my father. The loyal words are not heard by the saints, and the slanderous words are everywhere. Sad!" Xie Ruitang sighed.

Shang Hong nodded and said: "The trouble caused by the internal servants of the Celestial Dynasty is no longer a matter of one dynasty or two dynasties. If this problem is not eliminated, it will be difficult to clean up the filth in the court."

Just as he was talking, Ling Xue and Cheng Hanbai strode in. Cheng Hanbai smiled and said: "Yesterday I heard that someone came in from the secret passage and mentioned your dress, so I guessed it was you! Why did you come so late? How late? In two months, the rice seedlings I planted will begin to flower and ear!"

"It was only when we came to look for you that we learned that Wanqing was planning to set fire to the mountain in a few days, and burn the refugees who did not want to go out, along with Fang Junbao and other remnants of the rebellious party. Euphemistically called them, they died in battle. Lieutenant General Cheng Hanbai takes revenge." Xie Ruitang looked at Hanbai and said:

"If it weren't for your sister, we wouldn't have been able to find the entrance to the underground river. You fell off the cliff in Lee Locust Ridge, and we never would have thought that you would appear in Savage Ridge with the refugees."

"My sister is here too?" Han Bai hurriedly looked around.

"You can't recognize me if I change my clothes?" Cheng Haitang pouted dissatisfied behind Xie Ruitang.She didn't know how happy she was to see her brother safe.She went over and pulled Han Bai to look up and down: "Brother flew down from the cliff? Teach us how to find him easily!"

"Thanks to the horse riding the snow and chasing the wind, it actually knew how to stop along the cliff, and the horseshoes were worn away. Later, both the man and the horse were hung on the tree, and it was all thanks to the merchant who passed by and saved me and Chase. Wind. I also heard the noise of people on the cliff. I didn’t know whether it was an enemy or a friend, so Shang Weng took us into a secret passage and hid us." Han Bai added:

"Zhui Feng and I were both injured, so we stayed at Shang Weng's place to recuperate. I originally planned to find an opportunity, sneak up the mountain, go to Taiping Village to kill Fang Junbao, and then go back to recover. But you came to find me."

Looking at Cheng Haitang, who was like a little beggar, Cheng Hanbai frowned and said: "There are millions of refugees here, hiding filth and evil, good and bad. There are fights and strife inside, and thousands of people outside are trying to kill them all. You, a girl, come here."

"Major General, you can't think of a way to evacuate the refugees yourself. The Crown Princess is all for you, but you blame her! How can there be such a brother?" Shuang'er quit, stood up and said quickly.

"It is indeed difficult to have a perfect plan to evacuate millions of refugees. However, I do have some ideas. I wonder if the prince is interested in listening to me?" Shang Hong raised his beard and smiled.

Xie Ruitang looked happy:
"Master Shang is too modest. Your advice is better than ten years of studying. Please speak up. As long as it is beneficial to the resettlement of the refugees and the stability of the people, Ruitang will do his best!"
