Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 908
In the autumn of the 20th year of Yankang, Prince Liu Qu personally went to Liangzhou for disaster relief.

When he arrived here wearing plain clothes, everyone in the world was shocked. Before that, the officials did not think highly of this prince. After all, this emperor is not only a ram, but also He is good at martial arts, he spends his whole day studying military affairs, and later went to the Southern Army in person. I heard that those martial artists in the Northern and Southern Army really like this prince.

But for the officials in the temple, such a prince cannot be regarded as too wise, but no one dared to express his thoughts. I heard that the prince not only rushed to Liangzhou in person, but even rushed to the county with the most victims , greeted these people one by one, and brought some food to eat with many victims of the disaster. Immediately, the reputation of this prince resounded throughout the Xiliang area.

Under the promotion of a certain emperor who did not want to be named, this matter was also published in the mansion newspaper and became known to the world. Among the people, the people praised this prince one after another. What kind of filial piety, filial piety Words like De's spread wildly, and the Embroidered Messenger, who strictly forbade folk rumors on weekdays, ignored it at the moment.

But at this moment, in Liangzhou, Hu'er's life is still very good.

At present, Yuan Xi from Jimin Mansion is in charge of disaster relief affairs in Liangzhou. Yuan Xi, how should I say, is a relatively honest person. As a family member, he doesn't have much arrogance and duty of doing things. He doesn't seek breakthroughs, but he won't make mistakes either. After Zhuge Liang took the post of Shangshu Ling, he has been reprimanded by Zhuge Shangshu the most times in these years, and he can hardly keep his current position.

However, Zhuge Liang still hasn't abolished his official status for a long time. Perhaps because of his temperament, he may not be able to propose any decent government orders, but Zhuge Liang's arrangement, he can still complete it well. At least, he will not cheat. He wasn't afraid of fatigue, but Hu'er didn't think highly of this person. He had just arrived in Liangzhou, and he went directly to the county with the most disaster victims according to what Xun Linggong taught.

A lot of supplies brought from Luoyang were directly distributed to the people here, exchanged a few words with them, and told them that I would definitely accompany them through this difficult time, and the temple would help them , the emperor is also very concerned about you. Sure enough, the prince only said a few words, and these victims were so touched that they were moved beyond words. They bowed in the direction of Luo County, with tears on their faces.

Hu'er had dinner with them, and after two days of this, Yuan Xifang came to see him.

Hu'er is currently living in the county government office of Fuping County. The county magistrate gave this place to the emperor to live in, and moved out with his own people to work in another place. The special product here, the sheep here is different from the sheep in the Central Plains. It is hairy, and the meat has no fishy smell. It is very delicious. Hu'er just ate it once, and he likes this delicacy.

"Your Highness, the servant of the Jimin Mansion shot Yuan Xi, come to pay my respects." Jiang Wei said slowly.

Today, he has been dismissed by the emperor from his position in the Southern Army, but he himself has entered the East Palace, which is not a bad thing. After all, if he enters the East Palace and serves as the prince's personal entourage, he will definitely be the third order of the temple in the future. The position of the servants, and as the first official to enter the East Palace, it is very likely that he will be the position of the third order. Therefore, most of the colleagues in the Southern Army congratulate him.

Hu'er heard this, nodded, and said: "He is finally here. I have been in Liangzhou for almost six days, and I thought he would not come to see me. Let him in!", Jiang Wei Hastily said: "His Royal Highness, Yuan Jun is also busy with disaster relief, so there is no time to spare, Your Highness should not blame him."

Hu'er laughed and said, "I understand."

Yuan Xi was personally taken to the county office, and when he saw the crown prince sitting in the upper position, he hurriedly bowed his body, "I greet your highness the crown prince!" Hu'er squinted his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. Yuan Xi's figure He is tall and thin, and his appearance is not outstanding, and at this moment, his whole body is a little messy, which makes Hu'er a little displeased, "Yuan Jun, come and sit down."

Yuan Xi just sat aside, and Hu'er pointed to Ge in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yuan Jun came at the right time. In Fuping County, there is a delicacy called rotten sheep's feet, which is to throw the calf of the sheep directly. Put it in a steamer, steam it for six hours, and then add many spices from the Western Regions, plus wheat, it is really delicious. You see, this is just about to be ready, and you have already come."

Yuan Xi glanced at Yan in front of him, nodded, with a dull expression on his face, and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know when Luoyang's new batch of relief supplies will arrive."

"I'm not sure, you have to ask Liu Jun."

"I understand." Yuan Xi nodded, and sat on the side blankly without opening his mouth. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Jiang Wei asked, "Yuan Jun, I don't know what's going on with the current disaster?"

"The weather is getting colder, and the disaster situation has improved. However, we still have to get rid of the locust eggs, otherwise, next year's disaster situation will be even more terrible."

Hu'er also became interested, and asked curiously: "Yuan Jun? Is this how the locusts are going to be removed?"

Yuan Xi said dully: "The prince said: locusts are afraid of fire, poultry burn them with fire, and poultry eat them."

"Even I know these things, I'm asking you, what else do you do besides these things? Is there no other way?" Hu'er asked impatiently.

"Cao Situ said: Locusts are afraid of fireworks, so they can be driven away by thick smoke."

Hu'er shook his head in displeasure, with disdain on his face, but seeing that he was still doing his duty, he didn't say much, but Jiang Wei smiled and chatted with Yuan Xi about disaster relief. Compared with the intelligent Jiang Wei, Yuan Xi's slowness was completely revealed. For example, when Jiang Wei asked about the number of victims, he couldn't even answer directly. to be able to answer.

There were so many documents in his sleeves, Hu'er even suspected that if there were no such documents, this guy would not even know how many disaster victims there were in Liangzhou!
Soon, the so-called Fuping delicacy was ready, and Hu'er even wanted to give Yuan Xi a piece, but when Yuan Xi stepped forward, Hu'er almost threw all the rotten meat out of his hand, just because, Yuan Xi's body was really too stench, Hu'er had never smelled such a stench, even the smell of blood on the battlefield was not so bad.

"Yuan Xi!! You don't pay attention to me?! You came to visit me wearing such clothes, I didn't say much, but you smell it, what smell is it on you, you are sincerely against me ?!", Liu Qu shouted angrily, Yuan Xi was taken aback by him, looked at the crown prince in horror, bowed himself, and felt aggrieved in his eyes, "I dare not, these are poultry dung"

"I can't even eat this meal!! Without my order, you don't come to see me again!" Liu Qu angrily threw the bowls and chopsticks in his hand on the ground.

Yuan Xi bowed again, but he didn't dare to look at the crown prince again. He lowered his head and left the camp. Looking at Yuan Xi who was leaving, Jiang Wei frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Highness, why are you doing this?" ? Mr. Yuan is dedicated to his duties, does not despise filth, and serves the country, how can His Highness treat him like this?"

"Boyomo is going to be angry. I have never heard of a minister dressed so badly. He came to see the king. Although I am only a prince, his behavior is really rude. He is simply fooling me like a child. I am not I wouldn't be so angry if I asked him to burn incense and bathe, and then come to see me after a little washing." Hu'er said.

"Your Highness, I have often heard that since ancient times, Mingjun has always been able to respect and respect corporals." Just as Jiang Wei opened his mouth, Hu'er laughed loudly, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, he is a man without much talent. , this point, I am the clearest, if he has the slightest talent of you, Bo Yue, I will definitely respect the corporal, but unfortunately, he is a mediocre subject."

"Your Highness, why did you say that?? Yuan Jun is a majestic servant. How could he be incompetent? He once studied as a teacher of Zhao Gong, ruled the classics of Confucianism, and passed the examination to be an official. Over the years, he has never had the slightest achievement. Fault, this is the promotion to Pu She, not to mention me, even if the other Pu She in the court is summoned to relieve disasters on his behalf, they may not be able to do better than him, how can Your Highness say such words?"

Hu'er waved his hand, and said indifferently: "You don't know, but I can see clearly, I know who will be a great talent and who will not be, look at him, he has absolutely nothing of his own when it comes to disaster relief All plans are to imitate the ancestors, without assertiveness, submissive, and dull-looking, such a person really does not know how he became the three evils of Luo County back then!"

"The three evils of Luoyang in those days, my uncle Liu Yi is now the seat of counselor of the temple, and Mr. Cao is now also a dignified captain of the Northern Army."

Jiang Wei looked helplessly at His Highness the Crown Prince, sighed, and said, "Yes, Your Highness, the mediocre person you think is the least talented among the three is now serving as a servant. The other two have to follow him when they see him." salute"

Hu'er was taken aback, and said displeasedly: "It's just because of his family background. Don't mention this, Boyue, it's better to go to the temple as soon as possible, and they will transport the relief supplies as soon as possible."

"Oh," Jiang Wei nodded.

In the county government office, the lights were flickering. Hu'er happily picked up the rotten meat and ate it voraciously. Many officials in the county government carefully sat around, flattering the benevolence of the current prince with all their strength, but Jiang Wei was not here. He has already returned to the study, helping the prince to write a letter to the temple, asking Liu Ba to send the remaining supplies earlier, his words are full of pity for these victims, it can be said that those who heard it wept.

Hu'er listened to everyone's flattery, grinned loudly, his face was full of oil, and he spoke extravagantly under the lamplight.

And outside the city, the thin and dull servant, holding a torch, led the people, and was running around the cultivated land. The torch in his hand hit the pests, and many people lit fires around them, fanning vigorously towards the cultivated land. The wind filled the cultivated land with thick smoke, and Pu She was sweating profusely, his whole body was black, and his body was filled with an unpleasant smell. After running wildly all night, he slumped on the ground tired.

The disaster was finally contained.

Everyone in the world sighed with emotion at the prince's feat of disaster relief and praised the prince's benevolence. Without the prince, how would the people of Liangzhou survive in the face of such a large-scale locust plague? ? ?
