Chapter 1276: The Shelter of the World's Poor Men Are Happy
Sitting in the car, and getting out of the car, is a different feeling.
Feel the shock of this praise of all the peoples.
Emperor Hongji took a deep breath.
He paced slowly and came to the front of the six old men.
Six old men bowed and bowed.
Emperor Hongji smiled.
He was busy helping Zheng Qing, the old man in the lead, to help him up: "Old man, you don't have to be polite, you are old, if you do all the courtesy, won't you make it difficult for me?" ”
At this time, Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan, and hundreds of officials surrounded one after another.
Everyone looked at Zheng Qing, and their feelings were even more complicated.
Zheng Qing coughed, and then stubbornly said: "Yes, yes, when I see the emperor, how to salute, how to salute, how to salute, grass people, etc., bathing in the emperor's grace, today to come here to greet the car, it is a blessing for three lives, if you can't pay the full salute, wouldn't you want to return with regrets?" ”
As he spoke, he broke free from Emperor Hongzhi and led the other five old men to bow down, knock three times, get up, bow again, bow three times, bow again, bow again.
After the big salute, he trembled slightly, almost stumbled, Emperor Hongzhi pinched a handful of sweat for him, supported him, looking at this old man, Emperor Hongzhi was a little excited, pursed his lips, and said: "How old is the old man?" ”
Zheng Qing said proudly: "Caomin was born in the ninth year of Xuande, and he is already nine out of seventy. ”
Emperor Hongzhi and the officials were amazed, this Zheng Qing seemed to have such a long life, it was really rare.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Nine out of seventy, this is a person with great blessings, if you are a few years older, you can almost see Emperor Taizu Gao." ”
Zheng Qingdao: "Yes, the greatest blessing is that I bumped into Your Majesty, Your Majesty governs the world, the whole country is safe, the grass people and so on, it is the blessing of Your Majesty." ”
Groove ......
Fang Jifan's tiger body was shocked.
What he is most afraid of is that there will be a problem in this link.
Thousands of instructions, let Professor Wang Jinyuan, these old people, never say the wrong thing.
Who would have thought that these people would be human spirits.
If you think about it carefully, it's true, people who can live to be almost eighty years old, what world has never seen, isn't it just a human spirit?
Look at people's kung fu of slapping horses, there is still a sense of ritual, life really needs a sense of ritual.
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his heart was overjoyed.
Xiao Jing and Fang Jifan said the same thing, and they gave him different feelings, so the old man in front of him said such things, and the feelings of Emperor Hongzhi were different.
But the real value of the common people, is the voice of the common people.
Emperor Hongzhi flicked his eyes and looked at the waiting edict Hanlin who was driving alongside, this Hanlin had already taken out a bamboo board and a pen, and was recording this historic moment.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Old man, don't say that, I have been on the pole for decades, I am ashamed to say it, there are many carelessness and inconsiderate governance, thanks to ......" He turned around, at this time, it was the pinnacle of his life, this cow can be blown for a thousand years, he glanced at Liu Jianren behind him: "Thanks to Liu Qing and others for sharing their worries for me, I have only given some kindness to the people, old man, it is an exaggeration." ”
Liu Jian's face instantly turned rosy.
The whole person's waist pole is actually straight.
Zheng Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty, you must not be modest...... Hey......"
As he spoke, his cloudy eyes were faintly moist.
Fang Jifan on the side only thought that Zheng Qing was an old man, but now he suddenly felt that this was like ...... It's not like acting?
Zheng Qing choked suddenly, grabbed the hand that supported him, and whimpered: "Your Majesty, the grass people and so on, what hard days have you never seen, Xuande ten years, the great drought, the government can't provide relief, the grass people's mother died, in the seventh year of orthodoxy, it was another great drought, the grass people followed the villagers to flee the famine, met the rogues, had been hungry for seven days, fed on turf and white soil, and barely survived......"
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "There is still white-faced soil in the world?" ”
Fang Jifan reminded behind him: "Your Majesty, the white-faced soil is also known as the Guanyin soil, this soil is actually inedible, but people are very hungry, but they can also eat, fill the stomach, people regard it as white noodles, so it is called white-faced soil, and because of the disaster year, it can make people survive the famine, just like the Guanyin who saves the suffering, also known as the Guanyin soil." ”
Emperor Hongji's scalp was numb.
but man feeds on the soil.
Zheng Qinglao burst into tears, looked back on his life, sighed with emotion, sobbed for a while, and continued to grab Emperor Hongzhi's hand: "After that, the change of Tumubao, the government levied the grass people garrison, and it was in the desert for three years, and barely survived...... Seventeen years after Chenghua, this day, I really can't live, and I don't know why, the weather changes so badly, there is a famine every year, every year you have to flee the famine, full meal, hungry, the grass people are not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, the grass people can survive, all rely on having a son filial piety, they have no food, hungry for a family of wives and children, and they also eat the grass people first. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Qing's crying eyes were already red and swollen.
The rest of the old men couldn't help but cry.
Zheng Qingdao: "This year's catastrophe, the duration of time, is more powerful than in previous years, I thought that this year is not going to survive, the family can not prepare longevity materials, the grass people let their children and grandchildren prepare a straw mat early, just waiting to die." But who would have expected that someone from the government suddenly came, and the same people, as well as Jiang Shusheng from this group, they brought food, gathered the big guys, and said that they would take us to escape from the famine. Not only that, but they also rented a carriage and horses, and the young walkers, the old and weak, women and children, sat in the car, and sent us all the way to Jingshi. ”
"They all said that this is Your Majesty used the silver of the inner treasury to relieve us, Your Majesty is benevolent, regards the people as innocent, and will never let our people suffer from the disaster and starve, they sent us to Beijing and gave us a place to live, and sent bedding, the great-grandson of the grass people is sick, and they also cured it, and now the disaster victims have no food, they distribute food and send it to the canteen, so that we can get through the current difficulties first. The children are young, Jiang Shusheng took the children to study, and the family was six young and strong, and they found jobs for us, so that the children and grandchildren of the grass people could rely on their skills to eat. ”
Zheng Qing tightly grasped Emperor Hongzhi's hand.
Maybe the whole person was emotional, and Emperor Hongzhi's wrist hurt.
But Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were full of shock.
He knows very well that spending money is one thing, but how to spend the money, and how to let these people who are being given money get real relief, is another matter.
Obviously, this silver is really spent.
Zheng Qing snorted and cried again: "Your Majesty, it's not just that, we live here, we are foreigners, and the day is not safe, thanks to the relief of the imperial court, and then ...... In the past few months, Your Majesty has sent the crown prince and the Duke of Qi to visit many times, Your Majesty, you are a great grace, the prince and the Duke of Qi, what a noble status, but let them come to such a filthy place as ours, I heard that ...... The prince also healed the sick and saved people. ”
Zheng Qing was moved.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced meaningfully at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan on the side.
Zheng Qing took a deep breath: "Since the prince and the Duke of Qi came, we disaster victims, the treatment is even more different, as soon as they leave, the head of the household department will also come to visit, as well as the governor of Shuntian Mansion, the governor of the Xincheng Soldiers and Horses, and many more officials who can't be named, they see that some sheds can't shelter from the wind and rain, so they personally bring the officials to repair them, and when they see that the people have vegetables, they think of a way, carry a few sheep, and eggs...... Especially the officials of Shuntian Mansion are the most attentive, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and never stopping. After that, some merchants also came and would donate some grain and cloth...... Your Majesty...... In this life, the grass people have gone through several dynasties, and they have never seen it, the disaster victims have such ah, the grass people have been hungry for half a lifetime, and they have lived such a good life under the care of His Majesty...... is already nine out of seventy, and it can be regarded as the end of life, but the children and grandchildren of the grass people are fortunate to be so loved by His Majesty, and their days will be better than when the grass people are there, and the grass people ...... On behalf of this family, on behalf of the millions of victims, I would like to thank Your Majesty here......"
After that, Zheng Qing broke away from Emperor Hongzhi's hand and continued to bow, crying silently and crying.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.
He was ashamed of these words.
He only knew that the prince had spent a lot of silver, and now he knew that this silver had become countless favors and fell on countless people like Zheng Qing.
This silver...... It's worth it.
Even if the market value doesn't rise, it's worth it.
Those who are the Son of Heaven are rich all over the world, but what they lack most is people's hearts.
As long as the human heart is there, even if the inner library is empty, so what?
And the gratitude of these victims has all fallen on themselves.
This made Emperor Hongzhi particularly ashamed.
The prince loves the people like a son, responds to disasters in a timely manner, handles things effectively, and acts prudently, Zheng Qing praises the court and himself, but he really praises it, but it is the prince, and the guy Fang Jifan.
Emperor Hongzhi helped Zheng Qing up: "Okay, old man, you don't have to thank you anymore, I am here, and I dare to assure you that in the future, you, your family, and these thousands of disaster victims, their lives will get better and better, you can rest assured." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Qing said, "The grass people have prepared some gifts to present to Your Majesty. ”
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "No need, no need, I have given birth to a good son, and I know that there is a capable son-in-law, this is already a great gift, old man, you are old, change your life, don't work anymore, come on, send these old people, send them home, don't let them be tired, don't be frightened." ”
He squatted for a moment, and after a moment of silence, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Just use my imperial car to send it, that car ...... Secure. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare." Zheng Qing shook his head desperately.

Also, by the way, ask for a double monthly pass.
