Datang all-rounder

Chapter 126

Just when Wang Ke was still immersed in the sad atmosphere, he heard an anxious voice in his ear: "General, what's the matter with you? Talk!"

Wang Ke turned his blank eyes to the direction of the voice, two anxious faces with tears in his eyes entered his eyelids, Wang Ke couldn't help but get excited, he saw clearly that these two people were Nanping and Lanling.

Wang Ke unconsciously asked: "Why are you here? What's wrong, you're crying like this!"

Nan Ping said with a slight cry: "The mother-in-law didn't go back when the general left. She didn't know what happened. She was very anxious in the mansion. The concubine asked sister Dongyue to stay with her mother-in-law at home, and we two sisters went to the palace. Come and have a look. But when I got here, I saw you like this, General, and I felt bad..."

Nanping was about to cry again as he was talking, Wang Ke was very moved, and quickly comforted him: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about things, it's nothing to do, the princess doesn't have to worry."

Hearing Wang Ke's words, Nanping and Lanling breathed a sigh of relief.

Nanping stood beside Wang Ke and wiped away his tears silently, but Lan Ling ran to Comrade Li Er, took Comrade Li Er's hand and said coquettishly: "Father, what can't be said tomorrow, it's like this today It's late, let's go, my daughter's father-in-law and the general haven't eaten yet."

Comrade Li Er shook his head deliberately pretending to be very sad and said: "As soon as this daughter gets married, she only knows her father-in-law and husband-in-law. I haven't eaten with your uncles yet. Why don't you know?" Feel sorry for me."

Lanling stuck out her tongue mischievously, and was about to speak, when Wang Ke interrupted her: "Lanling, you go back with Nanping first, and tell your mother that you have something to discuss in the court, and you won't be able to leave for a while, so eat first." , don't wait for us."

Lan Ling said disapprovingly: "Is there anything we can't talk about tomorrow? Don't we have to explain it today!"

Wang Ke was already getting angry, but he still suppressed it and said patiently, "The flood in the south of the Yangtze River is a big deal! Now the emperor is discussing with us how to rescue the disaster. Be good, Lan Ling, go back with my sister first. We'll be back when we're done."

Lan Lingyou didn't realize it, and said to himself: "Isn't it just a flood? Don't you have to come here a few times in a year? What's the big deal, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Comrade Li Er was also a little angry at this time, but he still didn't get angry with his daughter, but said flatly: "Lanling, how can you say that, the people who are affected by the disaster are all the people of my Tang Dynasty, how can you That's the attitude."

Lan Ling didn't give up, and wanted to open his mouth to speak.

Wang Ke had seen Comrade Li Er talk, so he didn't talk about Lanling anymore, but now seeing that Lan Ling wanted to say something after Comrade Li Er had said her, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly burst out.

I saw Wang Ke shouting to Lanling: "Lanling, you were born in the emperor's family, and you were born with rich clothes and fine food. You have never seen the suffering of the people. Do you know what the people in the disaster area are living now? Life? They have no tiles to live on, and no ground to settle down. We just eat at a few hours in the evening, and they don’t know if there is anything to eat. You have no sympathy when you go there. Dead bone. You go back with Nanping immediately, don't waste our time here."

Comrade Li Er and several ministers present were stunned by Wang Ke's stern words. They had never seen Wang Ke speak to anyone so severely, and in front of Comrade Li Er, So merciless.

However, they also believed that what Wang Ke said was not wrong. The situation is critical now, and there is no room for slack. They can only hurry up and find a way to keep more victims from dying. After the retreat, social stability can be restored as quickly as possible.

Lan Ling was scolded by Wang Ke, she didn't react for a while, she just opened her mouth wide and stared at Wang Ke blankly, she didn't expect that Wang Ke would talk to herself like this, after a while, Lan Ling said "Wow " cried out.

Standing beside Wang Ke, Nan Ping saw Lan Ling crying so sadly, but he didn't dare to go up to comfort Lan Ling, so he could only look at Wang Ke anxiously.

Wang Ke turned to Nanping expressionlessly and said, "Go and take Lanling back. We have something to do, and we can't decide when we will go home. You stay at home with your mother and don't worry about us. Go!"

Nan Ping hurried forward and pulled Lan Ling out. Lan Ling might have been scolded by Wang Ke just now, but she also knew that she was at fault, so she obediently let Nan Ping lead her and walked away without saying a word.

Wang Ke watched Nan Ping and Lan Ling walk out of the study, then cupped his hands to Comrade Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, I offended the princess just now, so please punish me."

Comrade Li Er shook his hand and said: "It's not your fault, it's Lanling's ignorance. You can settle the matter between your husband and wife yourself, and I don't care. The most urgent thing now is to quickly come up with a charter to see how to rescue the victims. .”

Hearing Comrade Li Er's words, Changsun Wuji stood up quickly and said, "Now the local government has started to help. Now, please show me how the court should proceed."

Comrade Li Er was silent for a while, looked at Wang Ke and said, "Boy of the Wang family, what do you think?"

Wang Ke cupped his hands to Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, as the emperor's assistant, I implore the emperor to let you arrange this matter. If there is any inappropriateness, the emperor and your lords will correct it."

Comrade Li Er nodded and said: "Okay, you can arrange it."

Wang Ke turned his head and said to Changsun Wuji and the others: "My lords, now I would like to share some of my thoughts on this matter, and please correct me, my lords."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "This matter is extremely urgent, so there is no need for my nephew to be modest, just say what you have, we will obey."

Wang Ke cupped his hands to Fang Xuanling and said, "Thank you for your trust, sir, I am very grateful!"

Wang Ke rationalized his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "The capital is thousands of miles away from Jiangnan. If the capital transports food and other necessary supplies, the delay on the road must be quite long. When the transported supplies arrive, I don't know how many people will be displaced. Now As a plan, assistance must first be provided from the nearby roads in the affected area, and the money and food consumed will be supplemented by the imperial court. Regarding this matter, the imperial court must issue a decree to send it to various places on fast horses, ordering the various places to organize support in advance .”

When Wang Ke said this, he glanced at Comrade Li Er and several ministers present, and continued after seeing that there was no objection: "There must be people with rich families in the disaster-stricken area. With the imperial court, after the disaster is over, the imperial court will repay it according to the actual situation. This can also relieve the urgent situation."

As soon as Wang Ke said this, Changsun Wuji interrupted him and said: "Nephew, don't worry, what you said is very true now, wait for the old man to draft the will first, and send it out as soon as the emperor seals it. Then we will discuss each item one by one. Send out an edict for one order, which can also save some time.”

Comrade Li Er nodded his head again and again, and hurriedly recruited people to bring paper and pens. Changsun Wuji wrote the pen, and everyone discussed and wrote the imperial edict.Wang Ke had no right to say anything about writing the imperial decree. It's not that he didn't understand it, but that the imperial decree was written in classical Chinese, and he didn't know how to write it at all. Pifu said a lot about "whatever you are" there.

At this time, no one wondered why Wang Ke didn't speak anymore, because they had all read the memorial written by Wang Ke, which was completely vernacular, just like speaking normally, they all knew that Wang Ke knew nothing about the use of written language. No one asked him to say a few words.

After the two imperial edicts were written and Comrade Li Er used the seal, when Comrade Li Er was about to send someone to send them out, he saw two people walking in hastily from outside the study room. Comrade Li Er saw that it was Li Jing and Li Er.

Comrade Li Er asked Li Jing curiously while having the written imperial decree sent away immediately: "Why are the two lovers here at this time? Is there any urgent matter?"

Li Jing was stunned, just now when he was in the mansion, someone from the palace came and asked him to enter the palace immediately.

But as soon as he came in, Comrade Li Er asked himself this way, feeling a little strange, and murmured: "The palace sent people to recruit ministers into the palace, isn't it the emperor looking for ministers?"

Without waiting for Comrade Li Er to speak, Wang Ke said to Comrade Li Er on the sidelines: "Your Majesty, I asked someone to invite two adults to come here. I have a measure that needs the support of the army."

Comrade Li Er heard that Wang Ke sent someone to call, so he didn't make any more noise.

Li Jing didn't know what they were talking about, so he could only ask: "Your Majesty, what's the matter, so urgent."

Fang Xuanling hastily told a brief account of what happened today, Li Jing and Li's complexions immediately changed.The two stopped asking questions, sat down quietly, and listened to the arrangements made by the people in the room.

Seeing that everyone was already in place, Wang Ke said, "Now, my nephew needs Master Li Jing to issue an order in the name of your general staff, asking all the troops near the disaster area to spare half of their troops to help the government offices in the disaster area. Help the affected people!"

Without saying a word, Li Jing picked up a pen and wrote an order. When he gave it to Comrade Li Er for his seal, he did not forget to ask: "Nephew, if there is anything else our army needs to do, just say it."

Wang Ke said: "There are still many places that need troops. We just have to wait for Uncle Yuchi and Uncle Qin to arrive."

Comrade Li Er saw that Wang Ke's every instruction was so practical, and he was very pleased. He lamented that he had found a good assistant, and said in his mouth: "Let's wait until they arrive. I have something else to say now." ?"

Seeing Comrade Li Er's questioning like this, Wang Ke said: "I have an idea, but I have to ask the emperor and all the adults to consider whether it is feasible."

At this time, no one cared about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and asked in unison: "What do you think?"

Wang Ke said: "I think that at this time, what the people need most is the support from the imperial court, even if it is spiritual support. So I am thinking, should I send someone to visit the people in the disaster area on behalf of the emperor? On the one hand, it can let the people know that the emperor and the court care about them, and on the other hand, it can also supervise the use of disaster relief materials so that they can be effectively used on the victims without unnecessary losses."

As soon as Wang Ke said this, everyone fell silent. Wang Ke's proposal had never happened in the past dynasties. Regarding this matter, it really needs to be seriously considered.
