I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chapter 27 The Last Edict
  Han Zaifu's deeds are very exciting. From a common man to a legendary figure, almost everyone in the Zhou Dynasty knows about his legendary deeds.

Especially during the years when Han Yuanli served as Prime Minister, he vigorously promoted talents, reformed the mechanism, and rectified the administration, making the court clean and bright. Not only that, he also strongly supported the construction of new water conservancy facilities in major water towns, preventing floods, and building ditches to benefit the public. thousands of people.

Unfortunately, due to the sudden death of the current emperor, after the new emperor came to power, someone falsely accused Han Zaifu of planning to support the second prince to the throne.

At that time, the emperor died suddenly, and the prince was still patrolling the sky. After receiving the news, he rushed to the capital without stopping.

After all, the second prince was in the capital and usually had a bad relationship with him. Although he was appointed as the prince, many ministers in the court did not give up and secretly supported the second prince.

The second prince was equally ambitious, coveting the throne, and even secretly opposed the prince.

Therefore, the emperor died suddenly, the prince was outside, and the ambitious second prince was in the capital. In such an unfavorable situation, how could the prince sit still.

He didn't care about anything else and rushed to the capital overnight, but he was ambushed on the way. Fortunately, the prince was well prepared, so he easily dealt with the ambusher.

After solving the ambush, the prince knew that this was just the first batch. Even if those people had taken action, it would be absolutely impossible for him to return to the capital, so he asked his men to pretend to be him and return to the capital with great fanfare, and then he quietly returned with his guards.

Fortunately, there were still many ministers in the court who were loyal to him, and many generals even sent troops to support him, which enabled the prince to return to Beijing safely.

At that time, the second prince had already joined forces with the eunuchs in the palace to forge the edict, but he didn't expect the prince to come back so quickly.

What's more important is that there were many people belonging to the prince in the palace. In their obstruction, the second prince failed, so they delayed the prince to return to the capital.

After the prince returned to Beijing, Han Zaifu took out the imperial edict and supported the prince on the throne, becoming the current emperor.

It stands to reason that the prince, who is now the emperor, was pushed to the throne by Han Zaifu. How could he support the second prince to take the throne?
  If that were the case, and Han Zaifu hid the edict and teamed up with the eunuchs to forge a fake edict, then the second prince would have succeeded in ascending to the throne.

Even if the prince succeeds in his counterattack and ascends to the throne, it will be unfair and unfair.

However, in the face of Han Zaifu, who had made great achievements in supporting him, the emperor finally dismissed him from the post of Zaifu.

Of course, it was not for the crime of supporting the second prince to ascend to the throne, but for forming a clique for personal gain, allowing the tribesmen to invade the people's fields, and doing evil...

Waiting for these charges, Han Zaifu was taken down and exiled to Lingnan.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Han Zaifu is an upright, upright and honest person, and is even called "Han Qingtian" by the people of Ping'an County. How could he form a clique for personal gain and condone his tribesmen to do evil...

Therefore, all fools know that the new emperor only attacked Han Zaifu because he saw that Han Zaifu was superior to him, and also wanted to establish his authority.

If it weren't for Han Zaifu's merit in supporting him and being deeply loved by the people, once something happened, it would arouse people's anger, and it would not just be as simple as exile.

However, although Han Zaifu was exiled, he was exiled three times in the following decades.

In addition, this time, I am afraid it is the first time to recover.

Moreover, more importantly, there are now three years of severe drought, uprisings in various places, and the new prime minister Zhang Qilin committed suicide. As a result, the court has no minister who can shoulder heavy responsibilities, so the new emperor has to re-appoint Han Zaifu.

However, the drought and the uprising cannot be easily solved in a few years, so in the next five or six years, Han Zaifu will still be the person below the one person in the court and above ten thousand people.

Liu Wei used his own special channels to get the news about Han Zaifu's appointment. Now telling Chen Chuxue and others about this news can be regarded as reciprocating the favor and thanking them for their previous help.

Uncle Geng nodded, "Thank you very much. Ten kilometers ahead is Ping'an Town. You may be able to rest for now."

They could tell that the man was exhausted and lacked water and food.

To be honest, they have already given them water. As for food, firstly, they are strangers after all and cannot be exposed. Secondly, there is no way to take out their food.

What they can eat is either raw, such as rice, cabbage, potatoes, rice noodles... or cooked, such as steamed buns, steamed buns, etc...

During times of famine, how could people who could take out these things possibly escape?

Besides, once these foods are exposed, they may cause trouble later. “Dad…Dad…hungry…”

At this time, the child in Liu Wei's arms suddenly woke up and cried loudly again, apparently because he woke up from hunger.

"Pearl, be good, Pearl don't cry..."

"Come, drink water. Drink water and you won't be hungry!"

"Daddy will be able to find food soon. Pearl just needs to be patient and patient..."

However, a child is a child after all. When he is hungry, he just wants to cry for food. No matter how Liu Wei tries to persuade him, he cannot calm him down.

In the end, Liu Wei was cruel.

He directly stretched out his wrist and put it in the child's mouth, "If Pearl is hungry, just bite it..."

He had no other choice. There was a famine and drought, and there was no way he could find anything to eat. He could only live one day at a time.

Going to Jiangnan is just a vague wish.

"Hey!"

Chen Chuxue and others sighed. She looked at Xiaoyue in her arms. After all, she didn't want her to see this tragic scene.

She pulled Aunt Geng to the distance, and then whispered a few words, and then there were two more potatoes in Aunt Geng's arms.

Chen Chuxue specially told Aunt Geng to bake this in the fire this morning, so that if she got hungry on the way, she could eat it directly without having to cook.

Even if you encounter special circumstances and cannot cook, you can still fill your stomach with potatoes.

So, most of her snakeskin bag of potatoes was roasted and placed in her space.

Now I just took out two pills to be on guard against others. Two pills could ensure that they would not starve to death. With water, they could hold on to Ping'an Town.

And if you take too much, it will be troublesome if the hungry Liu Wei gets greedy. Although Uncle Geng is there, he will not take action if he can.

Still ask Uncle Geng to hand the potatoes to Liu Wei, so that even if Liu Wei has bad intentions, Uncle Geng can handle it.

"This is the only food we have left, give some to the child!"

When Liu Wei heard this, he immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Thank you, thank you. I, Liu Wei, can't repay you. If I can still survive, I will repay my kindness to a few of you in the future."

Uncle Geng waved his hand, "Let the children eat first, we have to go beforehand."

Liu Wei wiped his tears without getting up. He held the child in his arms, holding the potato in his hand, and pinched a little from the potato with his other hand to taste it first.

He knew that the person who could give him food was not a bad person, but he didn't want his child to take even the slightest risk.

"Tie the child as tightly as possible to the chest, and don't wrap it too thickly, otherwise the child will not be able to bear it."

Before leaving, Aunt Geng couldn't help but remind her that the first thing she saw was that the child was covered with prickly heat.

Tie the child in your arms so that the child cannot be exposed to the sun all the time, and if there is any problem with the child, you can detect it in time.

Then, Chen Chuxue and others left.
