Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

The twelfth lunar month is approaching, and the capital is covered with snow.Riding Juechen, the memorial rushed to Beijing.A very simple memorial shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

"Pride and pride, pride and pride."

"Hey, absurd, confused, young and reckless."

"Since the founding of the country, nothing has happened."

……

The ministers gathered in the Jiuqing Pavilion, talking to each other, discussing that Prince Xuan Yizhou disaster relief beheaded the chief envoy Sidu Liangdao, detained and participated in politics, and participated in the council.The left chief envoy pleaded guilty, but the right chief envoy suffered from heart palpitations and asked for leave.

Bi Xin paced back and forth in Qianqing Palace, thinking of countermeasures to face the officials.Liu Fu made such an astonishing move, and he didn't know how to quell the rumors in the court.

Bi Xin knew that Liufu's disaster relief was not easy, so the local officials secretly passed the money, thinking of ways to deduct the people's land rent, then turned around and reached out to the court for money.Because of the entanglement of interests, the local forces are like a fortress of iron and steel. It is even more difficult for Liufu to investigate the truth of the disaster and then implement the disaster relief.

Bi Xin secretly announced that Li Ji, Sun Panjin and others came to the hall to discuss, and Bi Xin asked everyone their opinions on countermeasures.

Sun Panjin said: "This matter has been investigated carefully by the old minister. The grain supervisor was ordered to collect grain and pay. Prince Xuan found out the evidence of corruption, and even the scandal of oppressing the people and forcing the tenants to death. Prince Xuan sent someone to question After passing by, the head of Du Liang Road actually wiped out the tenant, leaving five people, old and young, and set fire to the thatched hut. There was no proof of death. So Prince Xuan went to ask Du Liang Dao in person. The prince then said, since you only gave your life to relieve the disaster and sympathize with the people, but you acted in the opposite direction and killed innocent people, it seems that if you don’t kill you, you can’t warn the world. So the prince drew his sword and beheaded the official on the spot, and detained the interfering people and others.”

"In fact, although Prince Xuan is reckless in this matter, he is pleading for the people."

"But if you are so reckless, how can the emperor explain to the court, and how can the disaster relief work be done as scheduled?"

A few people made comments one by one.

"What's Jin Fan's opinion?" Bi Xin asked.

"Second Lord has his reasons for this. The local ills have been there for a long time, and they can't be broken or established. He probably discovered the clues when he first arrived in Yizhou, and it suddenly happened now. It must be that the follow-up has been arranged. The minister has cured the flood. Knowing that there are local rules in the local area, the second master is not used to these things, he is probably pretending to cater to them, and then secretly investigates, reschedules the manpower, only waits for an opportunity to kill them by surprise, and then arranges his own people. Rearrange disaster relief matters." Li Ji analyzed in detail.

"But as far as I know, most of the food and salaries for disaster relief were lost in landslides. The food and salaries are not much, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. At this time, if you blame the local officials, if they are passive and negligent, it will not be good for handling the disaster itself. The old minister thinks that although Prince Xuan Thoughtful, but still a little lacking. I am afraid that His Majesty will have to carefully consider how to approve this matter." Sun Panjin replied.

"I believe in him, so I support him with all my strength. When he returns to Beijing, there will be an explanation. For a while, I will only say that it is my will. The disaster relief matters will be handled by Prince Xuan. There is no need to discuss this matter until the disaster is over." He frowned and waved his sleeves.

More than ten days later, Liufu memorials came to Beijing, and the disaster relief matters were finally arranged. Various policies were implemented. People who are oppressed by powerful officials can come to complain.

Speaking of the source of relief money and food, Liu Fu first recruited the bandits who wanted to cut off the food, and allowed them to join the army. The most important thing was to give their parents, wives and children the status of good citizens. It can also be divided into land property houses.Bandits joining gangs are nothing more than killing people and stealing goods. If they can have the status of a good citizen and don't need to lick their blood, they will naturally be willing to be recruited.

They cooperated with Liufu's plan to spread the news that the landslide destroyed most of the food and payment, and bluffed the local officials. In fact, Liufu hid the food and payment in the mountains and sent people to guard them.Liu Fu arranged another big show, which made the city full of storms. The detained officials were the backbone of the chief envoy's handling of practical matters, and they were brought up for interrogation one by one.No one is a hard bone made of iron, as long as a small hole is torn, everything behind will not be able to hold back.

One of the two chief envoys was so frightened that he pleaded guilty and resigned, and the other said that he could not recover from illness.Liu Fu happened to take over directly, promoted a few people who were considered capable after the previous inspection, and released those few to participate in politics, and the council asked them to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.People who have been through the gate of ghosts all work hard and do things carefully, for fear of making any mistakes and omissions, they will obey Liu Fu's orders.

Liu Fu again spread the word that bandits were coming to rob the big households, and then sent bandits out from time to time to harass the gentry and landlords.The gentry and rich merchants were terrified, so Liufu said at this time that they could deposit money and food in various government offices, and the officials would come forward to protect them and receive a three-point profit.The gentry are not expensive to see, and many people deposit all their money, food and goods with the government for peace of mind.

As a result, the money and food in Liu Fu's hands were suddenly rich, and he stepped up the government offices to distribute the money, food and cloth to the people affected by the disaster.After half a month, Liu came back and said that the officials wanted to expropriate a batch of money and grain deposited in the government. Those who voluntarily donated could be exempted from the next year's tax according to the number of items, and three-point interest could be exempted.Many gentry were hesitant. Some people wanted to return the supplies. Liu Fu said that the overall situation was not stable, and they would return the stored items, money and food one by one after the beginning of spring.

When the big households go home and settle the accounts, after deducting the three-point profit and damage and consumption, they will still lose a lot when they get the supplies back in the next year. It is better to directly deduct these from taxes.So they all expressed their willingness to donate part of the money and food for disaster relief, each of them pretending to help the poor and help the weak, and take saving the common people as their own duty.With the news, some people even came to donate money and food to avoid taxes in the coming year.

Bi Xin was very happy after reading the memorial, knowing that the disaster relief work was on the right track, and it was time for Liu Fu to return to Beijing.

Liufu finally returned to Beijing just as Lamei Hanxue in the palace opened.Bi Xin ran to the tower early and waited for Liufu. He didn't bring too many guards of honor, he just paced back and forth between the turret and the tower.Bi Xin brushed away the snow on the city wall, propped his head against the wall bricks and looked into the distance. Many people came to ask questions and came to kneel inside and outside the city wall to pray and bless.

He then saw more and more people gathered, braving the thin snow and chattering, and seeing the heat coming out of the crowd, he felt a bit of warmth, a bit of vitality.

Someone reported that Liu Fu had driven less than twenty li, so Bi Xin ran down the tower with his robe in his hands.There were not many accompanying palace people, but the guards guarding the city still kept the people a few meters away.As soon as he stepped down from the tower, the chattering people hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to bless him, and he smiled and said, "Everyone is flat."

Li He waved his hand and asked the attendants to make the circle smaller, and a few bold merchants presented them to the officials and palace people with their filial piety.He walked slowly out of the city, and the people in the city surrounded him. Everyone just followed closely without saying a word, and finally no one knew who threw a red plum blossom at him.

Before Li He could say "bold", Bi Xin picked up the branch of plum blossom and sniffed it lightly on the tip of his nose, then smiled and said, "I will give it to the second master in a while."

"Ah~~~"

"Second Master, Second Master!"

"The autumn rain on the phoenix tree is true!"

"Little girl is consummated in this life, and from then on, the ancient Qingdeng Buddha has no worries!"

A person started, and the voices one after another never stopped. Flowers and fragrant fruits were thrown over like crazy, and he was taken aback. He stared at a group of women in horror and began to cheer and scream. That momentum completely overwhelmed the shouts of the guards to maintain order.

Uncle, Second Master, Autumn Night Indus Rain, Indus Autumn Rain, and Tong Yin Ji appeared the most, mixed with the screams and cheers, Bi Xin became more and more surprised.Li He and others maintained order, and the crowd gradually quieted down this time. Bi Xin looked at the women who were desperately pushing forward and asked, "Who are you?"

"Ah, Your Majesty is looking at me, he is talking to me, ah~~~" The woman in the front row almost fainted on the ground.The woman next to her pushed her aside and approached her to answer.

The woman blessed her with difficulty and said: "We are all women who admire His Majesty. It is difficult to see the real face in the boudoir, so we can only express our lovesickness with portraits. When I see Your Majesty today, I am willing to never marry for life."

"The uncle and the second master met today, and the slave family specially prepared a pen and ink sketch." After a woman said, she held up a sketched portrait of him lying on the city wall. Although the portrait was simple, it was very vivid and lovely.

Bi Xin asked Li He to take the painting, it was really interesting, he smiled, with a canine tooth hidden on his lips.

"Ah~~~ I said that the uncle has peach eyes with tiger teeth, and the second master has almond eyes with rabbit teeth, ah~~~My God, Bodhisattva Buddha~~~"

"Bold, how dare you talk about Long Yan." Li He scolded loudly.

Bi Xin smiled and waved his hands and said: "You guys are really interesting, let's forget it for today, there is no need to talk about these rules." Then Li He stepped back.

"I'm going to pick up Second Master back to Beijing today, shall we go together?" Bi Xin smiled at the girls.

Only a few steps out of the city gate, the air was so hot that it seemed like a woman had fallen by the side of the road. Bi Xin heard people shouting, so he turned to go back to see what was going on, but he heard someone say: " Is the girl all right?"

A "God!" resounded through the sky, making each other's ears hurt.

The guards pushed away the crowd, and Bi Xin stepped forward and saw a girl lying in Li Ji's arms, or in Li Ji's arms.Several palace people hurriedly pulled the woman away, and Li Ji's expression also showed a hint of embarrassment and panic.

Seeing that Li Ji's ears turned red from being bluffed, Bi Xin tried his best to hold back his laughter, and signaled him with his eyes that you have today too.Li Ji walked into the space blocked by the guards, and went to Bi Xin to greet him.

Bi Xin beckoned him to come over and asked him why he was here, but Li Ji only said that the official business was done, and he should come and see if Liu Fu returned to Beijing?

Li Ji looked around and whispered: "Let's go quickly, don't provoke them."

"who?"

"Towel."
