This remark made the people who were so excited that they lost their heads back to their senses, and everyone was a little uneasy.
What the lord said is right, only the emperor can say long live, they shouted like that when they were excited, if they listened to the conscientious people and sue the saint, they would not be a traitor...
Seeing that everyone realized the seriousness of the matter, Pang Xiao explained: "This king can understand everyone's excitement. After a long period of famine, seeing the saint sent food to come naturally happy, what everyone wants to express is that the saint cares for the people and is wise. The meaning of long live, I think everyone can understand."
The steps were paved, and many smart people in the crowd nodded in approval.
"The lord is right, what the big guy wants to say is that the saint is wise!"
"Thanks to the saint, we can survive!"
The people who had returned to God also all agreed.
But in the face of the loyal prince who gave them food and grass and helped them cover up, the admiration and gratitude in my heart were indescribable. Lord.
According to legend, Prince Zhongshun was stripped of his military power and official position, and he was even pressed by the sage to be beaten in public on the Golden Palace, for unwarranted charges. Today, the prince is still wholeheartedly speaking for the saints and thinking of the common people. The sincere heart of such a benevolent and righteous person has been trampled on in every possible way. People all feel worthless.
"Your Highness." At this moment, the gates of the old capital opened wide, and a man of the same age as Pang Xiao, dressed in regular clothes and a dark gray fine cotton cloak, walked quickly with a group of entourage.
"Yun Yancai, the former prefect of Xiaguan, see Wang Ye."
Everyone behind Yun Yancai also saluted.
How could Pang Xiao get the prefect to give a big gift, he quickly reached out his hand to help each other, "Master Yun doesn't need to be more polite, it's the king's mistake, which disturbed the order of the old capital, please take care of Master Yun more."
A sudden flash of surprise flashed in Yun Yancai's eyes.
In the old capital generation, there are several sayings, some say that Prince Zhongshun kills without blinking an eye, and some praise him for loving the people like a son. No matter how many rumors there are, it is not as good as seeing the direct feelings of people.
He didn't know about other things, but it was a chance to be a man, and the name of benevolence and righteousness outside was not necessarily a false name.
Now that I saw it, I found that this person is really a man.
The dignified prince, in front of one of his little prefects, treated him with such courtesy, gave him enough respect, and earned a lot of goodwill in front of the common people. If the rumors are true, he is a wonderful person.
Yun Yancai respectfully returned the salute, stretched out his hand sideways in a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is really too polite, it's a late official to greet you. Your Highness, please enter the city."
Pang Xiao nodded and led Qin Yining to the front, and the group followed behind Pang Xiao into the old capital.
Looking at the familiar streets, after several wars and famines, the old city is no longer as prosperous as when Qin Yining returned to the prime minister's mansion at the beginning of the year. Now it is the coldest time of the year. The falling snow is spreading on the roofs, streets and walls. After the snow-white layer, there is gray everywhere in the eyes, which makes people feel cold and lonely.
"My lord, the lower official has prepared the prefect's yamen, please don't dislike the princess and go to the yamen to rest?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Yun. However, this king has already ordered people to come and make preparations. Zhuojing's mother's family has a house here, and I haven't lived in it for a long time. This king plans to accompany her to go back and have a look."
"It turns out that the princess is from the old capital, but Xiaguan has forgotten it." Yun Yancai smiled and said, "If Wangye has any orders, even if you speak, Xiaguan will definitely do it for you."
Pang Xiao smiled, "Nothing else, Master Yun, get ready, the food and grass that this king ordered to buy in advance will arrive in the next two days, let's use the food brought by this king to make porridge first, and let the people have a full meal first. You don’t have to be too stingy with food, and there will be food delivered around tomorrow.”
Yun Yan just nodded quickly: "Yes, I'll do it now."
Pang Xiao thought for a while and then said: "Except for the fixed porridge shed, such as the broken temple in the city, and the abandoned mansion, firewood must be prepared for the refugees to keep warm. The people who lived in the old home can still say that if they flee nearby, they will In the first month of the first month, I am afraid there is not even a place to shelter from the cold."
In fact, before their party arrived, a group of corpses had already been disposed of in the city. On the outskirts of the city, there is always smoke and dust, which is the place where the corpses were burned. Just like when the earth dragon turned over, in order to prevent the disease, the corpse had to be burned.
Fortunately, after the famine broke out, it gradually entered a severe winter. If it catches up with the midsummer, I am afraid that in addition to the famine, the epidemic will be more difficult.
Pang Xiao and Yun Yan only told him to go to Qin Mansion with Qin Yining.
Yun Yancai had a master dressed as a scribe who was over the age of 10 and said with a smile, "How does your lord look at this prince? Is it really the same as what the shopkeeper Qiu said?"
"Whether it's the same or not, it's not like he's cheating for the sake of the people. If he cheats, he will be able to make the play so realistic along the way, and it's really not easy."
Yun Yancai led his subordinates to prepare according to what Pang Xiao said.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao went back to Qin Mansion.
They were in the capital, but Qin Yining never forgot to repair it. Although it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, and experienced famine, the shopkeeper Zhong Da has always been in the farmhouse in the old capital. When Pang Xiao and his party came back, the house was clean and tidy, as if they had just left for less than an hour and returned home.
The guards and Jinghu guards of the palace lined up and stood in front of the gate of the mansion. As soon as Pang Xiao gave the order to open the door, the gate was pushed open. Storekeeper Zhong Da greeted him with a group of familiar faces, and happily salutes Qin Yining and Pang Xiao.
"See the lord, see the princess."
"Master Zhong, please get up quickly." Qin Yining hurriedly stepped forward to help, and nodded to Lu Dehan, Liu Jiu'er and the others who were excited behind Store Manager Zhong, and said with a smile, "It's great that you are all here. I haven't seen you for many years, how are you all?"
"Okay, it's all good. Thanks to the princess's care, we worked on Zhuangzi, and Ningyuan also planted terraced fields. Although the season is not good, it is self-sufficient and can support many people." Liu Jiu'er is still a hearty temperament, see Qin Yining did not hesitate.
When Lu Dehan saw Pang Xiao by his side, he was a little restrained at first, but Liu Jiu'er and the other women were so easy to let go, there was no reason for him to be careful.
Therefore, Lu Dehan also said bluntly: "It's really thanks to the princess and the shopkeeper Zhong Da. During these days, not only our Zhuangzi, but also the workers in the factory under the princess were taken care of very well."
Qin Yining smiled and looked at the shopkeeper Zhong Da, who was wearing frost and dust on his temples, and said with a smile: "I'm busy in the capital, the mountains are high and the road is far away, so I often can't take care of this place. The factory has stopped working, and everyone has nowhere to go. Go, it's also thanks to Master Zhong Da for thinking of a way."
Shopkeeper Zhong Da smiled and cupped his hands: "Before coming out, the princess gave all the instructions to the old man. Most of the workers in the factory are the victims who were rescued in the past, as well as the soldiers and their families who were injured and left behind when they went to war with the prince. The big guy is grateful to the prince and the princess, so he is very willing to listen to the old man's words, and let the dispatch go wherever he wants. It is because the prince and the princess have laid a good foundation that it is more convenient for the old man to act. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "You are still so humble."
Shopkeeper Zhong Da blushed a little, but he was happy in his heart. After following Qin Yining for so many years, looking at one of the things she has accomplished, the shopkeeper Zhong Da has never regretted it, and feels glad that he has followed the right master.
"My lord, my princess, the kitchen has already prepared meals. It's very cold, and the boats and cars are exhausted. It must be cold and tired. Should I go to eat and rest first?"
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining did not refuse when they heard the words. The Qin mansion was so big that it naturally could accommodate all the people they were traveling with. Bingtang, Jiyun, Hanxiao and Ziyuan followed Qin Yining and Pang Xiao to Sydney Courtyard, while the rest liked to live in the courtyard. Live anywhere. The shopkeeper Zhong Da helped Hu Zi and Tang Xiu Zhang Luo, arranged the accompanying Jinghu Guards and Wangfu Guards, and also arranged the Qingtian Alliance and the Silver Faced Detectives.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao freshened up, changed into home clothes, and came to the Ming Hall of Sydney Courtyard.
A charcoal pot was burning in the middle of the ground, and the house was warm like spring. There were three dishes of small pickles and a dish of salted fish on the table. The porridge was thick mixed rice porridge.
The candles flickered, and under the warm light, everything seemed quiet and peaceful.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao took their seats at the table of the Eight Immortals and said with a smile, "I was just brought back by my father back then, and I lived here."
"I know." Pang Xiao gave Qin Yining a piece of salted fish with a fishbone selected, "I saw that you were bullied after you returned to the manor."
Qin Yining couldn't help laughing when she remembered that she had been left cold by the bamboo forest by Mother Jin.
"Now that things are right and wrong, and Mama Jin is no longer there, thinking of all the things in the prosperous time, I just feel sighed, the past can't be traced back."
Pang Xiao took a big mouthful of porridge and smiled: "But the future is promising."
Qin Yining was very happy and moved when she saw the beautiful lying silkworm under Pang Xiao when she laughed, and the soft emotions he only had when facing her.
"Yes, the future is promising."
After the two had eaten, Ji Yun and Bingtang came to withdraw from the dining table, and then retreated again.
They all lived with Qin Yining in the Qin Mansion, and now they feel like they are coming home, their mood is relaxed, and even their steps are brisk.
Pang Xiao pulled Qin Yining to the bedroom. The quilt was laid on the bunk bed, and it had been covered with hot pebbles.
"Let's sleep for a while." Pang Xiao turned to sit on the edge of the bed, slowly loosened his belt, and looked at Qin Yining who was standing in front of him.
His eyes were deep, Qin Yining blushed when he was seen, and hurriedly grabbed his hand as he took off his robe: "Don't, it's still early."
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Qin Yining's face became hotter and hotter. He fiddled with the blood-jade gourd hanging on the skirt with one hand, and said hesitantly, "And I can't serve you either. My little days are ten days late this month."
