Chapter 915 Intolerance (2)

All the ministers were opposed to helping the victims outside Linzhou City, Yuxi stood in front of the table and did not speak when she saw this. In the study room, suddenly fell into a strange silence.

It was Xu Wu who finally broke the silence: "Princess, the general thinks that what the adults said is very reasonable. It is very difficult for us to rescue the victims of the disaster, and we have no spare energy to help the victims under the imperial court. I don't know the princess. Why did you make this decision?" The princess said two days ago that she also felt sorry for the victims, but there was nothing she could do. Now that he has changed his mind, something must have happened.

As soon as Xu Wu's words fell, the twelve ministers all looked at Yuxi. In fact, everyone didn't understand, if Yuxi wanted to help these victims, she would have said that she would not have to wait until today.

Yuxi put her right hand on the table and said in a deep voice: "Last night, I had a nightmare..."

Tan Tuo was the first to ask: "I don't know what dream the princess had?" He has been with Yuxi for more than ten years, and he has watched Yuxi grow step by step with his own eyes, so how could he not know that Yuxi is not such an emotional person? . It's just that he must oppose it from his standpoint before he understands the reason.

Yuxi said in a mosquito-like voice: "I dreamed that I became one of the refugees. At the beginning, I still ate wild vegetables every day, but the wild vegetables were quickly dug up by everyone. There was nothing to eat. At that time, I could only drink water desperately. I was so hungry that I couldn’t sleep at night, so I could only hold my stomach and look at the stars in the sky, and then I wished for the stars, hoping that someone would come to help us, so that we could survive this disaster and survive.”

Hearing Yuxi's description, everyone showed a look of surprise. Everyone present had nightmares, but no one could describe their dreams in such detail as Yuxi.

After glancing at everyone, Yu Xi continued: "There is nothing to eat, and my body is getting weaker and weaker. At this time, some of the victims were infected with the plague. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, as long as the person infected with the plague is found , will be carried out and burned..."

Xu Wu was not as good as others, so he hurriedly asked after hearing this, "Could it be that the princess was also infected with the plague in the dream?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "I was not infected with the plague, but I was so hungry that I could only breathe. To save trouble, those people carried me out and burned me with those infected with the plague. I begged them not to burn me, but They pretended not to hear me, and threw me on the firewood pile to burn."

Hearing this, everyone present all changed color. This dream is really weird.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Yu Xi said: "Maybe you think this is just a dream, but I really feel the heart-piercing pain of the fire burning on my body. Thanks to this dream, I know that the fire burns What does it feel like to have scorched skin and rotten flesh?" In order to make the effect realistic, Yuxi not only did not apply eye makeup to remove dark circles, but also specially asked Mother Qu to put on makeup for her, making her look particularly haggard. That's why Xu Wu was so frightened when he saw her.

Fu Minglang said: "Could it be that this is a warning from the heavens, asking the concubine to help these victims?" It's normal to have nightmares, but such a weird dream is not unusual.

Yuxi hummed and said: "I thought about it all night yesterday, and I came to the same conclusion as you. This is because God watched me stand by and let me experience the suffering of the victims in my dream. If I don't help Helping these victims may no longer be as simple as a nightmare. It is very likely that more severe punishments will be imposed."

Having said all this, no one dared to raise any objections. Otherwise, it would be to disregard Yuxi's life.

Yuxi said: "There are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in Hebei and Shandong. Even if I have the heart, I don't have the ability. But the group of disaster victims outside Linzhou City can still be rescued."

Shen Chunting said: "Princess, I'm afraid that other disaster victims will flock to them when they get the news." Help, there is not so much food. no help

And afraid of God's punishment. At that time, it was really a dilemma.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "There is a plague outbreak outside Linzhou City, and the victims in other places won't rush there when they get the news." As for other places, she doesn't plan to take care of them.

Shen Chunting, as the Minister of the Ministry of Households, has a very tight control over money: "Princess, there are still [UUReading Book 00ks] nearly one million victims of the disaster under our own rule who need to be settled and rescued, and we don't have so much money and food. I think it's fine. There must be a limit to helping these victims."

Yu Xi hummed and said, "Naturally."

After talking about helping the victims outside Linzhou City. Yu Xi asked Yuan Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, to stay, and the others let him go back.

After leaving the palace, Fu Minglang asked Tan Tuo: "My lord, do you think the princess's dream is real or not?" But seeing Yuxi's haggard look, he couldn't help but believe it. Besides, Yuxi didn't need to make up these words to lie to them.

Tan Tuo said: "You just need to know that the princess has the heart to help these victims." It doesn't matter whether it is true or false, what matters is the attitude and decision of the princess.

Fu Minglang understood what Tan Tuo meant, and nodded immediately: "I understand."

After talking with Yuan Ying, it was almost lunch time. Yuxi was about to go back to the backyard for dinner, walked out of the study and looked up at the blue sky, and let out a bad breath.

The first thing she did when she returned to the backyard was to wash her face. After washing off the powder on her face, Yu Xi felt much refreshed.

Seeing that Yu Xi's complexion improved a lot, Quan Momo asked, "But the problem has been solved?"

Yu Xi handed the face towel to Pinellia, and said: "I called all the ministers today and told them that I decided to help the victims outside Linzhou City." The garrisons in various places have stored a lot of medicinal materials before, and they can only withdraw part of them for the time being.

Many medicinal materials are time-sensitive, anyway, there will be no major wars in the past two years, so they will be used first, and then replenished later.

Sister Quan is such a shrewd person, even though she is old, she still has a clear mind: "Did the nightmare you had last night have something to do with the disaster victims?" Otherwise, Yuxi's attitude would not have changed so quickly.

Yu Xi didn't deny it, but nodded.

"You! It's soft-hearted, hard-faced and soft-hearted." She thought that Yuxi could really be ruthless and ignore these victims, but she didn't expect that she still overestimated Yuxi.

Yuxi said: "I just want to do my part." Before she died, she wished someone could help her save her. It's a pity that no such person appeared until his death. Those who have never experienced that kind of despair and pain will never experience it. So she wants to do something for these victims and help them. Not for their gratitude, but for my own peace of mind.

Three days later, Liu Tienan received a personal letter from Yu Xi. Seeing Yuxi's letter saying that he was asked to help the victims outside the city, Liu Tienan was a little embarrassed. Now there is a plague outside the city. If these people are rescued and the plague is brought into the city, wouldn't the entire Linzhou city be in danger. But since the princess has an order, it is impossible for him not to carry it out. After thinking for a while, Liu Tienan summoned several generals to discuss this matter.

Li Jun stood up and said: "General, I am willing to take food and medicine out of the city." It is actually very dangerous to go out this time, after all, no one can guarantee that you will not be infected with the plague. But Li Jun still decided to go, not because he was great, but because he wanted to do his part for the disaster victims.

Liu Tienan said: "I will not stop you if you are willing to take people to help those victims, but I must say something first. After you go out, I will not let you back until the plague is resolved." It is not that Liu Yongnan is ruthless , but he wants to think about the more than 100,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people in Linzhou City.

Li Jun nodded and said: "General, I understand. General, I just want to go home and see my wife and children before leaving the city." Every time before going out for an expedition, he would go home to visit his wife and children. Although it is not a war this time, it is more dangerous than a war.

Liu Yongnan said: "Yes, but you have to come back quickly, there are many things to deal with." He can prepare food and medicinal materials, but Li Jun has to choose the entourage. And these people who follow out of the city must be voluntary and cannot be forced.

Li Jun nodded and said, "I'll be back after I've seen them."

Gu Li was a little puzzled, and asked, "General, didn't you say before that the princess is not going to take care of the victims outside the city? Why do you want us to help them now?" There are too many changes before and after.

Holding the sword in his hand, Liu Tienan said: "How can I guess what the princess thinks? We just need to follow the order." As for what the princess thinks, he didn't bother to guess.

Aunt Jia, her two children, Mrs. Shang and others all moved to Linzhou City. Knowing that her husband was going to rescue those victims outside the city, Aunt Jia burst into tears immediately: "I will not stop you from helping those victims, but you shouldn't take risks. What do you want me and Xia to do?" Aunt Jia gave Li Junsheng's son was named Li Wenxia. It may be because of the physical injury caused by fleeing famine, Aunt Jia never regenerated after giving birth to Li Wenxia.

Li Jun wiped his tears for Aunt Jia and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't cry. When we were fleeing, I wish someone could help us. We are lucky to have received the kindness of the princess. Now the victims outside the city need help. I can't bear to stand by and watch. Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will come back safely." He couldn't die in a war, how could a small plague kill him.

Aunt Jia knew that the matter had come to an end, and it was useless to say anything else. Hand over the child to Li Jun, and pack up things by himself.

Back in the army, Liu Tienan said to Li Jun: "You can read, you can read the above things yourself." The reason why Li Jun was able to rise to the fifth-rank defense so quickly had a lot to do with his literacy. You know, there are very few people who can read and write in the army. For these years Liu Tienan has been guarding Linzhou City and did not follow Yunqing to fight, otherwise Li Jun's position might be higher.

Li Jun took the booklet, and after reading a page, he was pleasantly surprised, and said, "General, this thing is very useful." It said that where there is a plague, you must not drink unboiled water, and the place where the patient lives must be cleaned up. Disinfect with vinegar or spirits every day. Zero zero total, wrote a full book.

Liu Tienan said: "This was sent along with the letter. The concubine also sent two doctors, and they are on their way now." He took out some of the food first.

Li Jun asked the key question: "General, what about the medicinal materials?" It is useless to have a doctor without medicinal materials.

Liu Tienan said: "The concubine didn't say anything in the letter, but since the concubine decided to save these people, she will definitely find a way to get medicinal materials. Now, temporarily remove some from the army for use." With Yuxi's order, he is not afraid of worrying about it. responsibility.

Li Jun went to the army to pick another 300 people. These people are basically from Hebei or Shandong. Looking at these disaster victims in the city, they couldn't bear it, and wanted to do something for them.

Liu Tienan did not open the city gate, but put them down with a hanging basket. He also plans to put down the food and medicinal materials in the hanging basket.

The movement on the city wall has long been noticed by interested people. When Li Jun and his party had landed, someone greeted them. The person who came was a thick and big man, but he looked very smart.

As soon as this person came up, he introduced himself to Li Jun: "My name is Ye Jiuyun. I don't know what the name of Jun Ye is."

Li Jun said: "My name is Li Jun. Are you the person in charge here?" There are tens of thousands of victims here.

Ye Jiuyun hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes. Master Li, do you know what's in these baskets?" After speaking, he looked straight at the dozen or so big baskets behind Li Jun, his eyes full of expectation.

Li Jun said: "These are medicinal materials. We came to help you under the order of the princess. If you need anything, you can tell me, and I will forward your request to the princess."

Hearing this, Ye Jiuyun immediately said: "What we lack the most is food." Those infected with the plague can be saved if they can, and there is nothing they can do if they can't. But other people who are not infected with the plague must have food if they want to survive.

Li Jun himself has also suffered, nodded and said: "The princess has ordered our general to send you 10,000 catties of grain first. These grains will be put down from the city wall by our people later, and this matter will be arranged by you." He is going to let the people he brought watch, if no one organizes, the food will definitely be robbed by then.

Ye Jiuyun excitedly grabbed the people beside him and said: "Ah Xun, we have waited, we have finally arrived." They stayed here all the time because they heard that Princess Ming is a kind and generous person, and they believed that Princess Ming would help them.

At the beginning, there were many people waiting here, but they waited and waited, but nothing happened after waiting for too long. Many people felt hopeless and gave up and left, but he insisted on staying. And now, finally let him wait.

Lin Xun also had tears in his eyes, and said, "Yes! Finally let us wait." As long as Princess Ming is willing to help them, their wives and children can live.

It is only September now, and there are still wild vegetables to eat outside. When winter comes, many people will definitely freeze to death, and not many people can survive. (to be continued)
