I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 135 Regret
Li Ke's action was like blowing the horn to rescue the disaster area.

Regardless of whether you are aggrieved or not, whether you are willing or not, under the full operation of these aristocratic families, food is still continuously transported to the disaster area.The data on the merit monuments in the east and west cities and the city gates are constantly changing.This made His Majesty Li Er and the ministers in charge of disaster relief in the court secretly heave a sigh of relief.As long as there is food, even if there is a famine, there will be no major mistakes.

"Throughout history, this is the first time I have heard of such a grand event of disaster relief."

The big rock that had been on his mind for many days was moved away early in the morning, and even Wei Zheng, who was in charge of the disaster relief, looked much better, and it was rare for him to make a joke.

"In this world, fame and wealth are the most touching words. Even if they are as cunning as ghosts, they can't escape this! This time, those old stubborn people will vomit old blood?"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, thinking of the expressions of those people who forced a smile in front of him and still had to sing praises, he felt really refreshed.This group of old people, I personally raised donations from them last year, and they cried poorly in front of me one by one. This time, they have to obediently drink my foot-washing water!
"Forcing people to do good deeds is not what a gentleman does, but I am ashamed. When I think of such things, I feel a little bit secretly happy—"

"Haha - me too!"

Li Shimin and Wei Zheng couldn't help but look at each other and smiled.All of a sudden, the gap between the two of them faded a lot.

"It's really amazing. Just a little change on the basis of the merit monument has produced a miraculous effect. Those silverfish who only care about their money and food bags have to move on their own. Such efficiency , is more than ten times faster than the power of the imperial court? To be honest, I am as curious as a cat scratching my heart, I really want to see what kind of character this Prince An is."

"Why don't we go together?"

Li Shimin seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed, and he proposed immediately.

The two monarchs and ministers took a rare photo together, changed into casual clothes, bypassed the crowd, sneaked out of Liangyi Hall, and went straight to Gao Laozhuang.

Gao Lao Zhuang.

"Shouldn't you be holding the account book to collect the account now, why come to me to play the autumn wind when you have time?"

Looking at Li Ke who came on horseback, Wang Zi'an sent away Wu Jue and others who were pestering him to tell stories, raised his head and joked with a smile.

"You put me in the top of the tank, but you can hide yourself very leisurely."

Li Ke ignored him, swung the saddle off the horse, and tied the horse aside.Walking with Wang Zi'an to a wind-covered hillside, he asked in a low voice when he saw no one was around.

"What should we do next?"

"Next step? Is there anything else we can do next?"

Wang Zi'an glanced at him and asked back.Li Ke couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and seeing that Wang Zi'an's face didn't seem to be joking, he couldn't help but slowly corrected his expression, and asked a question tentatively.

"do not care?"

"It's not that I don't care about it, I shouldn't care about it."

Wang Zi'an looked over the woods and looked at Qinghe in the distance.Li Ke was startled for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Wang Zi'an's words, and fell silent.Neither of them said a word, they just sat opposite each other, letting the autumn sun fall from the branches on their shoulders, forming a mottled light and shadow.

"I'm leaving. It's been a long time. I don't know when we will meet again."

Looking at the sparkling river in the distance, Li Ke's eyes were in a daze.

"When did you think about it?"

Wang Zi'an turned his head and glanced at him, and seeing a trace of unconcealable loneliness on his face, he felt a little sad, but there was no comfort.As a friend, I have already done what I can do, but there are some things that I have to go through by myself, otherwise it is useless to say more.

"Go back today, and after explaining the accounts to Duke Wei, I will ask you to leave."

Probably because the light was a bit dazzling, Li Ke lowered his head slightly, his voice muffled.

"After I leave, there is one thing I need to entrust to you."

"Go ahead."

Wang Zi'an clapped his hands, looking at the rare friend in front of him, very straightforward.

"Help me take care of my mother and concubine and my sixth brother. Especially the sixth brother, he has been stubborn and lawless since he was a child. I am not in Chang'an, and I am worried that he will cause a big disaster. Before I leave, I will plead with my father to let him come to study with you." ——Anyway, you are not short of this apprentice. I don’t ask for anything, I just hope that he can be safe.”

Wang Zi'an froze for a moment, but then nodded.It's just a few brats, and taking care of them for a while can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of being friends.

"After this incident, they will no longer be able to help you. Can you blame me?"

After pondering for a long time, Wang Zi'an couldn't help asking.Li Ke was startled, looked at Wang Zi'an's apologetic eyes, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Without this incident, they would never have been able to help me. Besides, although this matter has offended some old stubborn people, there are countless people alive, and it can be said that the merits are immeasurable. I don't regret it."

Looking at Li Ke's youthful face, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel relieved. This man is worthy of being a person praised by the later Taizu.The purpose of raising food and grass this time is naturally for the people in the disaster area, but for Li Ke, is it not a rescue?One is to retreat bravely and take the opportunity to jump out of the vortex of the East Palace competition, and the other is to gain a wave of popular support, so that those who want to attack him have to be afraid of three points——

"It's a pity that I can't participate in this rescue in person, and I feel a little regretful in my heart."

"What is there to regret? People like you are suitable for such opportunistic things. That kind of specific rescue work is really not suitable for a little boy like you."

Wang Zi'an laughed and joked.Li Ke rolled his eyes, ignored him, and spoke as if he was not a badass.

"Disaster relief is a very specific process, and food is only one of them. From the resettlement and relocation of the victims, to the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the victims, there are all kinds of trivialities, and they must be personally attended by experienced and respected ministers. On the other hand, they are the best candidates.”

"I know. I'm just a little bit sorry."

Li Ke's tone suddenly became a little low. He knew that Wang Zi'an was deliberately avoiding the most sensitive topic, and didn't want to make himself overwhelmed, but he knew that many things were not impossible to do, but that he could not do them. An invisible shackle.

Wang Zi'an's eyes flickered suddenly, he glanced at Li Ke, and changed the subject inadvertently.

"If you want to do your best, there is no way out. I heard that after a catastrophe, there will be a catastrophe. If you go back this time, you will immediately gather some medical staff and send them to Duke Wei. It may be possible to recover. To no small effect."
