This time, the emperor arranged it nearby, and he didn't even think about giving money anyway, so he didn't look for anyone, and even because he knew in his heart that the arranger didn't give money in the past, it was to deliver food, so he specially found someone he didn't like.
And the person he doesn't like is often a good one.
The general's surname was Zheng, and he was a military general from generation to generation. When the late emperor was still alive, their family was very beautiful.
Later, when the emperor came to power, he could only stay at the border, living the hard life of the court not giving money and food, and trying to find ways to get food and drink by himself.
The emperor didn't feel that this was inappropriate for the Zheng family, who had saved countless times for the royal family. Although the Zheng family never stood in line, this generation's General Zheng got along well with the first prince back then.
Even if General Zheng was measured, he would at most only say two or three words when he was young, and there would be nothing next to him, but for the emperor, it was kindness to send people to the border instead of trying to kill them.
When the decree arrived, General Zheng locked himself in the room and scolded him.
Everyone knew exactly who to scold, but they couldn't put it on the bright side, so they could only watch General Zheng angrily smashing the table. When he finally got angry, he still had to pinch his nose to check the route, pack up, and bring someone to support.
No one disagrees with supporting the people of Gezhou.
But in reality, a very big problem is placed in front of them: no food.
According to the current food in their barracks, it is not bad to be able to support Gezhou.
Even if their soldiers are good, but the clever woman is hard to cook without rice, can't eat enough, and can't rely on a piece of perseverance to support.
After checking the remaining money and food in the military camp, General Zheng locked himself in his room and scolded him for an afternoon.
The worst thing in the world is this.
The one above is a fool, but as his servant, you have to obey his orders, otherwise, you will not even be able to save the lives of the soldiers under your command.
No food, can only gather.
As soon as General Zheng has a high official position, he has gathered together, some of you and me, and his wife will have to take it out, but they have been at the border for so long, and they have so much money in their hands. .
The accountants who manage these are scratching their heads, wishing that grain would fall from the sky.
As a result, on the second day, a team of food actually arrived at the barracks.
When the truckload of food was unloaded from the truck, General Zheng could not wait to hug the legs of the truck and call on the Tathagata Buddha to bless the Buddha.
Before these soldiers could recover from this huge surprise, they heard the leader of the convoy say: "Not only our team, there is another team behind, there is more food than ours, we are all rushing. Those on the road, unfortunately, two of their cars broke down yesterday, and there is no place to buy new ones in the wilderness, so let us come first, wait for the battalion commander, and then trouble the general to pick them up."
Omg!
This is really another village, and God has opened his eyes.
General Zheng personally took people and brought out the food team that was trapped in the wilderness.
This night, the whole camp rarely had a full meal.
General Zheng, on the other hand, was sitting in his tent, looking at the letter in front of him and fell silent.
"so..."
This general, who has always been a rough guy outside, doesn't pay attention to anything and doesn't care about anything, asks the person standing opposite him respectfully in a deep voice: "Your master, do you want me to help him?"
The man replied respectfully: "The general is busy with his affairs, why would my master bother you, I just want to ask the general not to stop him when he needs help."
General Zheng was silent for a while.
"My Zheng family has been loyal and good for generations. I can't do this. Please bring these grains back. I don't dare to take them."
The people who were sent by Ji Changze had long expected that he would react like this, and only followed the instructions of his master: "Sir, you don't have to do this. Soldiers, even if the adults do not help with this, we will not take these grains with us."
"My master knows what the general is worried about. Please rest assured. What the master wants to do is not what you think."
"Isn't it?"
General Zheng smiled in disbelief: "With such a big temptation as the throne, if he had the chance, would he not come?"
Even he can't say that he has no feelings for the throne. If it wasn't for the fact that the Zheng family had been loyal ministers for generations and wanted to maintain the family's reputation, maybe he really couldn't help but get the dog emperor down and sit by himself.
"The general is not my master, so how do you know what my master wants?"
"The little one has retired."
The food delivery man is gone.
General Zheng was sitting in the tent alone, and he could still hear the laughter and laughter coming from outside, because it was rare for everyone to have a full meal today, and the atmosphere in the military camp was very good.
He quietly looked at the letter on the table, got up and threw the letter into the brazier, watching it burn little by little.
In the rising flame, he seemed to see himself in an hour.
At that time, before his father died, he had just started to learn Chinese characters. His father held his hand and taught him to write loyally to the monarch and serve the country, stroke by stroke.
He has been doing it, but the person on the throne is not worthy of him sitting like this.
Their Zheng family protects the emperor and the people.
rather than a stupid king.
General Zheng sat alone in the tent, until the cheers and laughter outside faded away, until the candles in the room burned out, and the tent was dark.
The next morning, when the sunlight outside came in, General Zheng moved.
He suddenly remembered what the man said last night.
Ji Changze doesn't want the throne?
Then what is he trying to do?
Kifu
--Snapped!
She is really happy.
If it is, if Liu Shengyan has something wrong, Madam Liu, Liu Leping, what will they do?
She knew what the temperament of her direct granddaughters was. At this time, when Liu Leping's backer fell, she let them go, so her idea was to let them take the opportunity to search for something.
According to today's temperament, 80% is Liu Shengyan.
Li Ziqian was in a trance.
Finally, relying on filial piety to hold people down and not let them go, I thought Liu Shengyan would be depressed and uncomfortable, but it didn't.
Li Ziqian also knew this, but now she doesn't care much anymore.
Along the way, Liu Shengyan has met all kinds of noble people and things, but he can't be the last one. Let's jump out of a noble person.
Mrs. Liu's tears fell, and she nodded.
"Madam, if you go, will the master be suspicious?"
Fortunately, she and Mrs. Liu are close friends in her boudoir. After so many years, she has only seen Mrs. Liu. This statement is not so abrupt.
If Mrs. Liu loses her husband, before her son can start a family, their family must live in the mansion.
Mrs. Liu is an elder, can she still reprimand these juniors?
If he is convicted...
However, Li Ziqian could not be comforted, and even her face turned pale again.
Liu Leping nodded obediently: "Mother, I'm not afraid. Dad will be fine. I know him."
At least...you can't really stand and die.
She was worried that the old lady was taking advantage of Liu Shengyan's accident, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Remember, if something happens while I'm away and you can't do anything about it, go to Ji's house and ask to see Mrs. Ji, she will definitely help yours."
After all, Ji Changze has always been scheming. Once Li Ziqian shows something wrong, he is likely to see something from her words and deeds.
The small broken land in Gezhou was besieged by the Hu people, and it was no wonder that it could hold up.
She didn't believe that this time Liu Shengyan was lucky enough to survive this catastrophe.
She was worrying about gains and losses here, but Mrs. Liu over there was quite calm. After returning, she immediately asked the girl to pack up the valuables, lest others come here to fish in troubled waters.
In this way, the food will not last long, and some people in the city will starve to death.
She originally just hated the concubine. After so many years, those hatreds turned into hatred, and even Liu Shengyan's wife and a pair of children were on her hatred list.
In Liu's residence, except for Liu Shengyan's small courtyard, the atmosphere was quite good.
"Don't worry too much, Madam. Your Majesty has ordered troops to be rescued."
Afterwards, as soon as Liu Shengyan was born, the old lady repeated her old tricks, trying to kill this son-in-law with all sorts of tricks.
This time when Liu Shengyan had an accident, she couldn't wait to call Mrs. Liu and Liu Leping over, "sadly" and told them the bad news, and "kindly" comforted them not to be afraid, even if Liu Shengyan had some troubles, he was caught It doesn't matter if the Hu people kill them, the Liu residence will still take care of their orphans and widows.
At that time, without Liu Shengyan to support them, the money will not be left to their own choice.
"Take my savings and prepare the car now. If Ji Changze asks, he will say that I have heard about the Liu family, and I am worried that Mrs. Liu will not be able to hold it, so I will go to see her."
Liu Shengyan's mother was also a good family girl. After being spotted by the old man, the old lady immediately virtuously helped him to accept him.
"Prepare the car and go to Liu Mansion."
Of course, it also includes Mrs. Liu's dowry and the rare farewell gifts from Mr. Ji a few times before.
She also knows the situation of the Liu family. If the news of Liu Shengyan's trapping is spread back, no matter how sad Mrs. Liu is, the Liu family will definitely take the opportunity to practice them.
Now that he is suffering, the old lady can't wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate, how can she be sad for this son of a bitch.
Li Ziqian swayed and almost lost her footing. Mammy Xu quickly supported her: "Madam."
After all, Liu Shengyan was not the old lady's biological child. If it weren't for him being an official and receiving a monthly salary, the old lady would not let him live in the mansion.
Seeing her pale complexion, Mother Xu sighed and nodded.
Seeing that Liu Leping's eyes were red, he had to be strong. Mrs. Liu felt sorry for her daughter and hugged her in her arms to coax her: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."
Mammy Xu patted Li Ziqian's hand and comforted her with a warm voice: "Master Liu has always been lucky, and it's not bad to come here this time."
The old lady almost didn't laugh out loud.
After waiting for so long, she didn't let her wait until this day.
The Hu people were besieging the city, and the city had just suffered a famine, so there must be not much food. Although there was food for disaster relief, the city was surrounded and could only sit and eat.
It's all sisters and sisters, what's wrong with giving something.
The old lady doesn't like concubines, but her dislike is not by saying to her husband "I don't like concubines, don't take concubines", but pretending to be generous to her husband to take concubines again and again, and then waiting for them to give birth to a son , and then use the means to make these poor children "accidentally" die.
Coupled with the current Liu Shengyan's family who is keen to throw the blame and is likely to be dumped, they must prepare early.
Even if the reinforcements came and rescued the people, the people who were trapped and starved to death in the city still needed people to bear the blame.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more beautiful she became. She smiled and told the people around her: "Shengyan is trapped, and Leping must be sad for her father. Go, let a few young ladies visit her sister and comfort her."
The tea cup fell, and Li Ziqian's always indifferent expression was rarely stained with worry. She nervously grabbed Mammy Xu's hand and asked, "But really? Did the Hu people really hit Gezhou?"
Should... not be?
It's just that Liu Shengyan's mother took good care of him, and Liu Shengyan himself was lucky. After so many years, the old lady has never succeeded once.
Instead, it was the old lady's own reputation, because of this move, most of it was ruined.
The old lady just thought this angrily in her heart, but when she thought of this, her body suddenly froze, and she remembered all kinds of things in the past.
Liu Shengyan, a big-hearted man, closed the yard door and lived his own life as usual.
