Chapter 008: Lifesaver
Outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, it was surrounded by displaced people from all around. The homeless people shouted loudly www.biquge.info "Open the gates and let us in." ”
The gates were never opened, and no officials came forward to mediate. What's going on?
I inquired about the displaced people from other places and learned that there was a famine in many places in Henan, and the people had no food to feed themselves, and those who had money went south to the imperial city of Jingzhou, and most of the poor people came to Kaifeng City. At this time, tens of thousands of displaced people had gathered outside the city gate.
In Kaifeng City, in a palatial mansion, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man is cross-legged and leisurely sipping tea. The concubine next to him was peeling melon seeds and sending them to his mouth.
"My lord, you see that there are so many displaced people gathered outside the city gate now, how to deal with it?" A servile-like man next to him asked.
The middle-aged man put down the teacup, "Hmph, these people who want to eat are born with a cheap life, and it is not a pity to die, so they came to my realm to make a fuss." Leave them alone, close the city gates, starve them for two days, they can't survive, and they will naturally leave. The person who spoke was none other than Yin Jiaqin, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.
"But the court knows about it, I'm afraid it won't affect it well!"
"What are you afraid of, I have my own way to prevaricate on the side of the court. What's more, my sister is now the queen of the dynasty, who dares not to give me three points of thin noodles. Jachin looked fearless.
Jia Qin enjoyed the glory and wealth in the house, while the homeless people like Lu Xiaoyu, with the scorching sun on their heads, endured the scorching heat, and shouted to open the city gates, but never received any response. Fortunately, when Lu Xiaoyu came, he brought the "air conditioner" that he had made in Taoyuan Village before.
"Come over here, cool down, this thing can relieve the heat." Lu Xiaoyu instructed Tao Kan to let those displaced people who suffered from heat stroke go to the shade of the trees and turn on the "air conditioner" for them.
"Little brother, where did you get this thing, how can you blow a cool breeze as long as you step on it lightly with your foot." An eldest brother who had just fainted from heat stroke couldn't help but ask when he saw Lu Xiaoyu's invention.
"I can't think of it, I can't do it, this is my own research and development, it's called air conditioning." Lu Xiaoyu said proudly.
"Little brother is a strange man. My name is Zhao Su, there are two big brothers in our homeless team who are good at making friends with capable people like little brothers, they will be very happy to see you, let me introduce you to you. With that, the eldest brother ran to the side and pulled over a strong man who was weak and scholarly.
"The life-saving benefactor is above, please accept my Li Da and my Li Yi." The strong man's name is Li Da, and the scholar's name is Li Yi, who are two brothers, the elder brother is good at writing and the younger brother is good at martial arts. As soon as the two of them saw Lu Xiaoyu, they bowed down. Not only Lu Xiaoyu was blindfolded, but even Zhao Su was stupid, just after they met, why did the little brother become the life-saving benefactor of the two eldest brothers.
Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly helped the two of them up, "Benefactor, you forgot, it was you who fell from the sky that day and helped us lure away the Khitan soldiers, so that we could escape from the persecution of the Khitans." Li Yi said excitedly, and Li Da next to him also nodded frequently.
"For you were among the people at that time, and there was such a coincidence. Seeing this kind of bullying thing, how can I sit idly by! Lu Xiaoyu also laughed, he could still save people by flying in the sky, no wonder Superman and Spider-Man flew in the air. This is probably the so-called taking you to pretend to be forced to fly with you.
"Brother Lu, where did you learn this spell, why is it so powerful, can you show us again." Li Da pulled Lu Xiaoyu and asked him to cast a spell, how could Lu Xiaoyu know any spell, so he had to excuse himself that he had a master behind his back to guide him to fly in the air. The three of them saw that Lu Xiaoyu seemed to be in trouble, and they did not continue to ask.
Lu Xiaoyu chatted with the three of them about their previous experiences, and Lu Xiaoyu also pulled Tao Kan to introduce them to the three of them. Lu Xiaoyu himself is accustomed to mixing in the rivers and lakes, and he is very righteous, and he criticized the inaction of Kaifeng Mansion and the imperial court, and coincided with the two brothers Li Da and Li Yi, and they talked very happily, and they had a feeling of hating each other.
"Brother Xiaoyu, a few of us really hate each other, why don't we take the opportunity to make a bloody alliance and marry Jin Lan." Li Da proposed.
The three of them expressed their approval, but only Lu Xiaoyu was silent.
"It seems that Brother Xiaoyu doesn't look down on us rough people, forget it, we are not strong." Li Yi said regretfully.
Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly shook his hand and said with a twist, "I didn't mean that, it's just that this blood alliance is okay, what's that, I'm fainting." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Even Lu Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed. Since the last time my finger was pinched out of blood, I was left with the sequelae of fainting blood, and I fainted when I saw blood.
So, one day in the midsummer of the first year of Xuanhe in Southern Chu, Lu Xiaoyu, Tao Kan, Li Yi, Li Da and Zhao Su married Jinlan. Because Li Yi is a few years older than the five, he worships as the eldest brother, Li Da is the second, Zhao Su is the third, Lu Xiaoyu is the fourth, and Tao Kan is the fifth.
Lu Xiaoyu proposed that since everyone was righteous outside Kaifeng City, and there were five people, why not name it Kaifeng Wuyi. Everyone unanimously agreed, and in this way, the five of them vowed to share weal and woe and strive to do a great cause.
However, the exile brigade guarded the city gate for a few days and called the city gate for a few days, but it was still dead and quiet inside. The displaced people are hungry and cold, and the five brothers often rescue and protect these people, and since then they have won the hearts of everyone, and the name of Kaifeng Wuyi has also been widely spread among the displaced people.
"Open the city gate quickly, we want to see Fu Yin." Lu Xiaoyu knocked on the city gate for a while, but still didn't move, and said to Li Yi breathlessly: "Big brother, it's not a way to go on like this, you have to think of a way to make things bigger." ”
"The fourth brother is right, it's better for us to fold the people!" Li Yi licked his lips that had already worn out his skin and said.
It turned out that the people at that time collected 10,000 signatures and could personally submit a letter to the emperor of the dynasty, so the eldest brother Li Yi came forward to draft a document, asking for food relief in Henan.
At this time, thousands of miles away in the imperial city of Jingzhou, in the emperor's bedroom, the emperor was concentrating on carving a wooden handicraft in his hand with a knife. Xiong Jie, the emperor of the dynasty, ignores the government all day long, and his biggest hobby is to like carpenter work. At this time, he was carving a wooden teapot that he had made for a long time, and he didn't know that a big eunuch had come in outside.
"Your Majesty, there are people in Henan who have jointly signed a letter, Henan has been in chaos for many years, and this year there is a famine, I hope the emperor can send food for disaster relief." The eunuch said cautiously.
"Tong Zhongxian, just leave this kind of trivial matter to you, I still have big things to deal with now. It is up to you to consult with your ministers. The emperor didn't raise his head, and dealt with it casually.
The eunuch Tong Zhongxian answered, and went out with a smile. He beckoned the little eunuch to arrive, "Go, call me the old immortals in the court, and say that the emperor has something to discuss with them in the council room." ”
There were already twenty Zaifu standing in the conference hall. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing when the emperor cared about national affairs and personally summoned them to discuss matters.
"I think it must be Tong Zhongxian's dog slave who is getting in the way. This time, he must not have a good heart," Li Mi, an old minister and prime minister of the Three Dynasties, said indignantly. "I heard that the people of Henan have a disaster this year, living in dire straits, Tong Zhongxian is reluctant to tell the emperor about the disaster, the people are not happy, and the old man has heard people talk about the tragic situation of people eating people several times, which is really chilling." He wiped away his tears as he spoke. Everyone shook their heads when they heard this.
"Whoever says that he eats people, what nonsense is telling the truth. Phew, what nonsense. Master Li, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Now the four seas are leveling, and the country is peaceful and peaceful. Where did the famine come from? Tong Zhongxian entered the council hall and happened to hear Li Mi's words.
"Hmph, the disaster in Henan is serious, why haven't you reported it for a long time, is there something unseemly. I heard that the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion is the uncle of the country, looting the people's fat and ointment, making the people miserable, and you are also in cahoots with him. You deceived the emperor like this, I will go to the emperor to sue you. Li Mi pointed at Tong Zhongxian's nose and scolded.
"You, you, okay, you go and sue, see if the emperor listens to you or me. You old immortal, me! Tong Zhongxian was scolded, and he didn't give up, and immediately refuted.
Li Mi is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and the current emperor has never scolded him like this, so angry that he directly pinched Tong Zhongxian's neck. Everyone hurriedly pulled the two apart. Li Mi and Tong Zhongxian had already ripped each other's official uniforms into a mess.
"Okay, since you care so much about the people of Henan, this time the emperor originally cares about the people of Henan, and you want to find the minister to understand the local situation, I don't think you need to find someone else, just work hard Lord Li to go." As for the salary, let's talk about it when you understand the situation, but this year's CD collection in various places is not good, I don't think the emperor will agree to allocate funds for disaster relief, haha, Lord Li has to do something to do, so he will leave. Tong Zhongxian's face changed faster than turning a book, no wonder in the past few years, with his wrist, he is the husband of the emperor's nurse, and he has suddenly won the emperor's trust, and all confidential matters in the court and China are left to him to decide.
"You, you, you......" Li Mi was so angry that he fainted suddenly. Zhong Zaifu also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so he could only leave with Tong Zhongxian, and everyone helped Li Mi out of the palace.
