Chang Anqing

Chapter 318
When Yang Yan and his entourage arrived at Xiagui, what they saw was already a fragmented city with broken walls and ruins. Without the prosperity and splendor of Chang'an, there were only countless houses collapsed into dust. Countless disaster victims and refugees were gathered under the simple and light straw huts. Everyone's face was darkened, and the pupils were full of fear and hesitation about the unknown.

Seeing this scene through the curtain of the car, Yang Yan's eyebrows became more and more heavy, until he saw a five or six-year-old child being hugged by a mother in shabby clothes. Indifferently, hearing the cries of the child, Yang Yan could no longer bear the pain and said: "Stop."

As soon as the words were blurted, the carriage stopped quickly, and when Yang Yan glanced sideways at Baoying who was in the same carriage, he received the tenderness of advancing and retreating from her pupils.

Amidst the rustling of their clothes, the refugees gathered not far from the city gate saw several ordinary carriages stop, and two plainly dressed but extraordinary young men got out of the carriage under the guards and walked towards them. Come step by step.

"Are you all the people of Xiabei?"

When a man with a jade complexion and a picturesque face came against the light, all the people present were stunned for a moment, but the woman beside him was calm and gentle, and her whole body seemed to be filled with lingering brilliance, but Like the sun competing for glory, people can't move their eyes.

During this gentle questioning, the woman holding her daughter was pulled back by the cry. Although she didn't know who the person in front of her was, she could vaguely guess the identity of either rich or noble. Therefore, under Yang Yan's patient waiting, the woman The man shook his head, patted the daughter in his arms, and said with a sense of loss: "We are all from Huazhou County——"

"Huazhou County?"

Yang Yan was surprised when he heard the words, so he heard another bold person add from the side: "This nobleman, the earthquake started in Huazhou, many people's houses were reduced to ruins, and there was nowhere to live. Even the crops in the fields were destroyed." Most of it was destroyed, we were helpless, thinking that Xiagui was not far away, so we wanted to come and join our relatives, but Xiabei put us outside the city and did not allow us to enter the city."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yan frowned intently, looked around at the people who were crowded together in the dust, and their eyes were dim, and finally set their eyes on the injured girl again, squatting down, Yang Yan said softly : "Don't cry—"

"The valley."

Hearing this, Xi Gu immediately came forward, knowingly brought a box of exquisite fruits from the carriage, in the shape of peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and rabbits...

Looking at the mouth-watering fruit, even the common people on the side couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw it. At this moment, Baoying on the side said, "Hui Rong, just stick a piece of fruit in the open space beside me." The porridge shed is here to distribute porridge and food for everyone.”

As soon as these words came out, the common people immediately seemed to see living gods, and their eyes were shining with hope.

Looking outside the city gate where the wind and dust passed by, it is really cold and sandy season, and hearing that the Crown Princess is going to serve porridge here, although Hui Rong hesitated that she could not take it, she still didn't say anything, and began to order people Get started.

At this moment, Yang Yan had already handed a plate of fruit to the little girl, his voice was like a pair of gentle hands caressing people's hearts.

Seeing that the little girl stopped crying, she pouted her mouth, wanted to reach for it, but couldn't help but retract it, put her index finger to her mouth, and looked at Yang Yan again with eyes full of heart.

Seeing the child's innocent eyes, Yang Yan smiled, patiently moved the fruit closer again, and said encouragingly, "What kind of look do you like?"

The little girl thought for a while, and carefully pointed at the pink and tender peach blossom fruit. Yang Yan smiled slightly, and stretched out Du Ruoxiang's plain handkerchief from his sleeve with his right hand, carefully wrapped the peach blossom fruit and handed it to the little girl. child's hand.

Smelling the attractive smell of the fruit, the little girl couldn't help but retracted her hands and glanced at A Niang, then at Yang Yan and asked tentatively, "I, can I eat it?"

Under Yang Yan's nod, the girl's mother said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you."

"Please get up."

When Yang Yan lightly helped the woman's hand, he looked aside and swallowed his saliva, looking eagerly at the children on this side and said: "Choose what you like too."

As soon as the words came out, the children couldn't help it after all, and rushed over overjoyed. Zong Ming, who was on the side, watched vigilantly and wanted to stop him, but Yang Yan patted his arm lightly, shook his head and retreated.

Just when the fruits were all gone, Yang Yan personally ordered Zong Ming to deliver the medicine, opened the porcelain cover, and was about to give the little girl the medicine.

"I'll do it."

Hearing the sound, Yang Yan turned his head and saw Baoying's smile.

Because there are many people around to serve on weekdays, Yang Yan is not familiar with these things. Seeing Baoying say this now, and looking at the little girl's already inflamed, red and swollen wounds, Yang Yan was afraid that he would hurt her badly. , and secondly, I also thought about the defense of men and women, and I was always not suitable for Baoying.

So when the wound medicine was handed to Baoying, Baoying squeezed the medicine with the remaining warmth from Yang Yan's palm, carefully, while telling stories and humming songs to the little girl who was eating fruit, while lightly applying it on her. vulnerary.

I don't know if it was the ballad that played a role, or the fruit in her mouth was soft and sweet, but the little girl really didn't say a word, as if she had completely forgotten, she just blinked her eyes, and sat around with a group of friends listening to Baoying tell the story.

Under the autumn sun, although there is wind and sand for company, the scene in front of him is so quiet that Yang Yan's heart is moved.

Looking at Baoying in the golden sunlight, wearing a gentle plain dress, with cloudy hair and no decorations, and a smile that is more beautiful than the morning sun.

Yang Yan's heart was touched and happy like never before.

He knew that he had met the person he wanted to spend his life with.

At this moment, the sound of hasty footsteps suddenly sounded. When Yang Yan and his party looked over, they saw several officials rushing over with their guards. Under his gaze, regardless of the dust on the tail of his clothes, he hurried over and saluted respectfully.

"My servant Zheng Jiuzheng, the governor of Gu, brought the officials of Xiagui to kowtow to His Royal Highness and Princess Concubine. The ministers were late to pick up the driver, and begged the Prince to come down."

In the silent wind, all the officials saluted meticulously and remained motionless, leaving only the common people looking at each other in blank dismay, looking at Yang Yan in shock.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness actually came to see us in person—"

In the unbelievable words of the people, the next moment, everyone hurriedly got up, as if seeing an unattainable god, bowed down to Yang Yan and his wife respectfully and in awe.

"Everyone, get up, get up."

While talking, Yang Yan personally helped up the people in front of him. The people were so moved by this scene that they hurriedly withdrew their hands, fearing that Yang Yan's hands would be dirty with his dusty clothes.

However, what they didn't expect was that His Highness the Crown Prince in front of him didn't show the slightest dislike. From his eyes, they only saw endless sincerity and empathy.

His Majesty the Crown Prince actually felt the same way as them——

"The people of Huazhou County want to enter the city, why are they not allowed to enter?"

Hearing Yang Yan's question straight to the point, Zheng Jiuzheng, the governor of Xiagui, was shocked when he heard it, and immediately said: "Return to Your Highness, because Xiagui is close to Huazhou, this time the disaster is also serious, and now many people's houses in the city have collapsed, which is extremely dangerous The lower officials were worried that there would be another earthquake that would hurt people's lives, so they put the common people in the habitable government offices, Taoist temples, temples, etc. Now there is really no extra space, please forgive me, Your Highness—"

Yang Yan finally relaxed a little when he heard the words, and looked at the injured people again and said: "Since the people have defected to this place, Qing and others, as parents and officials, should lend a helping hand. Seeing that their injuries are serious, why haven't there been any doctors to treat them?"

"This this--"

Seeing the predicament of the governor of Xiagui, the Ming Mansion on the side said cautiously: "Return to Your Highness, there are limited doctors in Xiagui, and there are many injured people in the city, so—"

"The people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is solid and the country is stable. The people have no distinction between distance and distance. Even if the number of doctors is limited, they should be given medicine to appease them instead of sitting idly by. That's why."

Although Yang Yan's words were as benevolent and gentle as his personality, the faint reminders and beatings in them still carried a compelling momentum, making all the officials present sweating.

"Yes, it's the ministers who didn't think carefully and begged the palace to come down—"

Seeing that the officials in front of him were wrong, but not unforgivable, Yang Yan said: "The earthquake is a natural disaster. At this time, Xiagui and the people need you and me to help each other and protect them together."

After all, Yang Yandao: "This time, the Crown Princess and I need to stay here for a long time, since there is no extra residence in the city—"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, a wealthy family in the city appreciates you coming here to understand the people's sentiments, and is willing to donate another house—"

"No need."

Before the governor finished speaking, Yang Yanyang looked at him and said, "Now there is still a residence in the official post."

"Yes, yes."

Because he couldn't figure out what Yang Yan said, the governor had no choice but to answer carefully, Yang Yan nodded and said: "Then let Gu live in with the people."

"Your Highness!"

The governor was shocked when he heard the sound, His Majesty the crown prince, how dare the crown prince of a country live in the official post with the victims of the disaster, if something goes wrong, let alone him, even the lives of his family are not enough to cover it.

"You are the body of a thousand gold, how dare the ministers, if His Highness does not give up, the next official is willing to sacrifice the house—"

Yang Yan thought for a moment when he heard the sound, and then said: "The people of Huazhou—"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the official post is now empty, and there are no officials coming and going. The next official will order people to sweep and expand it, put the people in, and then send doctors there."

Hearing this, the common people were all greatly shocked and grateful. As their status, they never thought of being able to live in an official post that only officials with a decree can live in.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, thank you, Your Highness—"

In an instant, all the people present buried their heads on the ground from the bottom of their hearts, kowtowed and kowtowed unceasingly, as if they were about to shed tears.

"Get up, everyone, get up."

Under Yang Yan's mobilization, the people were all supported to stand up, and the next moment, they clearly saw the determination and promise that they would never return Loulan until they broke Loulan from the face and eyes of the prince of the country.

"I entered Xiagui this time with the heart of sharing joys and sorrows with everyone. Your Majesty's benevolence, even though thousands of miles away in the north, to defend our territory and fight against the people, he still cares about everyone. Destiny is determined to help everyone rebuild the city and rebuild their homes. Don't worry, I have already brought food, grass and cloth allocated by the imperial court on this trip. The accompanying medical officer will definitely guarantee everyone's basic necessities. Clothes and clothes, I will be here to accompany everyone for a day, and I swear here today that I will never live up to my words!"

Hearing Yang Yan's sonorous and forceful words, everyone present was shocked and moved by it, because they never thought that their prince, who was supposed to be aloof and overlook them, would be willing to stay in such a dangerous place. A place where we can truly be in the same boat with them, and advance and retreat with them.

"Long live Your Majesty, His Royal Highness a thousand years old—"

"Long live Your Majesty, His Royal Highness a thousand years old—"

"Long live Your Majesty, His Royal Highness a thousand years old—"

……

After the words fell, thousands of words converged into the endless voices of the people. At this moment, their hearts were completely stable, and they were completely tied to Yang Yan.

That is popular support, trust, and respect.
