Chapter 863 Only Hot Soup and Rice Can Comfort People! You Call This the Second Treacherous Minister of the Qin Dynasty?

Since the fifth day of the earthquake, red flags have been gathering towards Zheng County from all directions.

By the seventh day of the earthquake, nineteen red flags were flying in the wind over Zheng County.

The twentieth red flag finally arrived near Zheng County after going through hardships and dangers.

"Look!"

Looking at the dazzling flags in the distance, Su Jiao cheered loudly: "Zheng County is right ahead!"

"Fathers! Work harder!"

"Everything will be fine when we get to Zheng County!"

After a day and a half of sleepless migration, all the victims and rescue workers were exhausted.

When they heard Su Jiao's words, they subconsciously raised their heads, and then they saw the red flags.

The eye-catching red and the vigorous and powerful word "Chang'an" on it are like a stimulant, injected into everyone's limbs and bones.

Summoning the last strength, an old, weak, woman and child continued to move forward unswervingly with trembling legs.

At the same time, a general's flag with the word 'Chang'an' written on it, with a black background, was also approaching them quickly.

Under the flag, Ying Chengyu strode toward Su Jiao, shouting excitedly: "Shilang Su!"

Looking at Ying Chengyu's figure from afar, Su Jiao almost gave up and rushed towards Ying Chengyu.

Unfortunately, the stretcher in his hand restricted Su Jiao's movements, so he could only shout cheerfully: "Jun Chang'an! I am humbled here!"

"Fathers! Look! It's Lord Chang'an! Lord Chang'an has come to pick us up in person!"

One of the victims curiously followed Su Jiao's gaze and looked into the distance.

Then they saw a young man wearing a king's crown, wearing a coarse cloth, covered in dust, and his face could only be vaguely handsome from the curves of his eyebrows and face, walking quickly towards them with a pole on his shoulders.

"Is this Shangguan Lord Chang'an? I thought that Lord Chang'an would be a man with a height of one foot, a waist two feet wide, an arm that can run a horse, a fist as big as a altar, eyes like a copper bell, and a beard that looks like an iron needle! He can lead! Our Great Qin soldiers should look like that when they defeat the generals of the Four Kingdoms!"

"Well, I heard that Lord Chang'an's head is as big as a measuring stick, his forehead is as long as a horn, his eyes are as narrow as willow leaves, and each of his fingers is several feet long and extremely dexterous!"

"But why do you think Chang'an-Jun is just an ordinary person, a person similar to you and me!"

"But such an ordinary person did something that no noble person would do, and saved all of our lives! Children, remember, that is our benefactor! We in Dongxiaoli would rather risk our lives A benefactor who must protect everyone’s lives!”

Ying Chengyu's appearance does not meet the aesthetic standards of this era for heroes.

Ying Chengyu is indeed exceptionally handsome, but there is no part of his body that is obviously different from ordinary people.

He doesn't have double pupils, his wrists can't reach above his knees, he doesn't have a chest like a bird of prey, he doesn't have legs with seventy-two moles, he doesn't have a forehead as full as horns, and he doesn't have a purple beard. None of him can be... The physical condition that a person identifies as a hero is just that of an ordinary person.

This ordinary appearance and figure made all the victims in Dongxiaoli feel a little more close to Ying Chengyu.

But the extraordinary things he did made all the victims feel even more grateful and respectful to Ying Chengyu!

Under the gaze of pairs of eager eyes, Ying Chengyu strode up to Su Jiao.

With a bend of his legs and a tilt of his shoulders, he unloaded the pole with two large buckets of corn on the ground, and then gave Su Jiao a big hug.

"It'll be good if you come back! It'll be good if you come back!"

After pinching Su Jiao's arm again and carefully observing all parts of Su Jiao's body, Ying Chengyu showed a satisfied smile: "Good!"

"Very good!"

Feeling Ying Chengyu's warm and strong embrace, facing Ying Chengyu's worried eyes, Su Jiao, who had not cried during the entire disaster relief process, had red eyes at this moment.

Putting down the stretcher, Su Jiao suddenly handed over his hand and shouted loudly: "On August 17, the fifteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, I humbly accompanied Lord Chang'an to Zheng County to rescue the victims."

"On August 18, under the orders of Lord Chang'an, I led four ministers, 200 guards, and 500 strong men to rescue the victims in Dongxiaoli, Houfang Township."

"On August 19, I led my troops to Dongxiaoli to provide relief to the people on the spot."

"Today, August 23rd, I have led four ministers, one hundred and ninety-eight guards, four hundred and eighty-five men, and nine hundred and eleven victims of the Dongxiaoli disaster to return to Zheng County."

"Humble, luckily you live up to your fate!"

No one organized or rehearsed in advance. Nearly a thousand Dongxiaoli victims shouted in hoarse voices: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an! Thank you, all superior officials!"

Ying Chengyu solemnly raised his hands and returned the salute: "Servant Su Jiao, you have returned with all orders, you should have done a great job!"

"I will report all your merits to the king and ask the king to reward you generously!"

Feng Jie and others immediately handed over their hands: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"

Su Jiao just showed a relieved smile.

If you have not failed to live up to Lord Chang'an's expectations, all your hard work will be enough!

Ying Chengyu turned his attention to the victims.

But like Su Jiao, he didn't say much. He just picked up the pole again and shouted loudly: "The two and three sons have worked hard all the way, and they must be tired."

"The camp has been set up. The two or three boys will be able to rest later."

"Lif!"

"Let's eat!"

After giving the order, Li Fu immediately led his men carrying poles on their shoulders to greet the victims, and distributed the crude wooden bowls that had just been carved to everyone.

Ying Chengyu personally carried a pole to greet the victims, dug out a large spoonful of corn rice from the rice bucket with a wooden spoon, pressed it into Zheng Miao's rice bowl, and warned in a gentle voice: "Come, eat first!"

It wasn't until Ying Chengyu was walking towards the next victim that Zheng Miao came back to his senses from his dazed state and murmured: "Is dinner served again?"

"Why is it that Mr. Chang'an is the same as Mr. Su, who puts off the meal even if they disagree with each other?"

When facing Su Jiao, Zheng Miao prepared a lot of words to respond, but in the end, Su Jiao started cooking and serving food in a hurry without even using a few words.

When facing Ying Chengyu, Zheng Xi couldn't even utter a single word of the manuscript he had prepared for four days before he was pushed down by another spoonful of rice.

Li Fu, who happened to be not far away from Zheng Ji, said with a smile: "It should be said that Shi Lang Su is the same as Lord Chang'an."

"Mr. Chang'an is such a person. Although Mr. Chang'an is a world-famous lobbyist, Mr. Chang'an is more willing to actually make our lives better."

"Elders must be exhausted after traveling a long distance. It's important to eat hot rice and drink hot soup first to have a good rest."

"Come, have some soup!"

Zheng Ji quickly put his rice bowl on the ground, picked up another empty bowl, and took the hot soup that Li Fu had scooped up.

Looking at the pickles, minced meat and oil in the soup bowl, Zheng Miao was speechless.

Although the minced meat in this bowl of soup is not as big as a soybean, it is still meat!

Holding the steaming bowl of soup in both hands, Zheng Yan slid over the edge of the bowl and took a sip of oil star, letting out a long sigh of satisfaction.

A bowl of hot rice and a bowl of broth are more comforting than a thousand words!

Seeing all the victims in Dongxiaoli sitting on the ground, tasting soup and rice greedily or cherishingly, Ying Chengyu handed the empty rice bucket back to the young man and whispered: "Send the minister Su Jiao and other five ministers to come to discuss matters."

After saying this, Ying Chengyu left the place with light steps.

But even though Ying Chengyu had moved as gently as possible, many Dongxiaoli victims such as Zheng Jiao still caught the sight of Ying Chengyu's leaving figure.

They didn't shout farewell, they just knelt down and bowed their heads in the direction where Ying Chengyu left, and worshiped sincerely!

Ying Chengyu didn't know what was happening behind him.

After finding an open place to stand, he watched Su Jiao, Feng Jie and others quickly approaching with a smile on his face.

But when Ying Chengxuan glanced at Zhou Qingchen, Ying Chengxuan's smile froze: "Shilang Zhou, what are you doing?"

Zhou Qingchen hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I would like to report to Lord Chang'an that the baby hugged Xiaguan too tightly. It was really difficult for Xiaguan to break free for a while, so I had to bring this child to see Lord Chang'an."

"Don't blame me, Lord Chang'an."

After finishing his words, Zhou Qingchen released his right hand.

Cai'er, who was held in Zhou Qingchen's arms, frowned slightly. Her little arms and legs were like octopuses and she hugged Zhou Qingchen's neck and waist even more tightly. She adjusted herself to a more comfortable position without opening her eyes the whole time. posture.

After proving that he really couldn't break away from Cai'er, Zhou Qingchen quickly hugged Cai'er with his right hand again, with undisguised worry and love on his face.

Ying Chengyu looked a little surprised and said, "Of course I won't blame Shilang Zhou."

"I just never thought that Minister Zhou could gain so much trust from the children in the disaster area!"

Who was the most treacherous minister of the Qin Dynasty in the eyes of the Western Han Dynasty scholars?

There is no doubt that it is Zhao Gao!

Who was the second treacherous minister of Qin in the eyes of Confucian scholars of the Western Han Dynasty?

It was not Li Si who was generally recognized by later generations, but the servant in front of him with a girl in his arms and a loving face——

Zhou Qingchen!

As the trigger of the book-burning incident in the Qin Dynasty and the reason for the destruction of a large number of books, Zhou Qingchen was scolded by the Confucian scholars of the Western Han Dynasty for I don’t know how many years!

Moreover, Zhou Qingchen's records in historical materials are all related to praising his virtues and flattery, and there is no record of even one actual thing he did.

Even in the book-burning incident, Zhou Qingchen's role had no limit, he was shameless, and he flattered Ying Zheng, which caused Chun Yuyue, who was already prepared to tolerate it, to go completely crazy, and then angrily denounced Zhou Qingchen and Ying Zheng, which caused A series of subsequent events!

It will only slander and flatter others, leading to the discontinuation of classics.

These two felonies allowed Zhou Qingchen to surpass Li Si with an absolute vote, and could even vaguely compete with Zhao Gaoyi!

Ying Chengyu really didn't expect that Zhou Qingchen would have such a side!

Su Jiao smiled and said: "I don't know, sir, but I was mainly responsible for treating the injured after arriving in Dongxiaoli. It was Shilang Zhou who organized the rescue of the victims."

"Although Minister Zhou doesn't talk much, the victims all praise him!"

Zhou Qingchen hurriedly bowed and said: "Shilang Su is so complimentary!"

"It was Chang'an Lord's prestige and decisiveness, as well as the good situation created by Su Shilang, that led me to organize the rescue."

"I am just attached to Lord Chang'an!"

Ying Chengyu waved his hand, interrupted Zhou Qingchen's flattery, and said solemnly: "I will report everything you have done to the king, and ask the king to reward you generously."

"But now, it's not time to reward based on merit!"

"All the victims from the surrounding townships of Zheng County have been transported to the surrounding areas of Zheng County, but Zheng County is only the county most severely affected by the earthquake, not all."

"According to the investigation of the fourth-term students of the military academy, several surrounding counties such as Tongcheng, Huaide, Wucheng, and Xiagua were also devastated by the earthquake."

"It has now been seven days since the earthquake occurred, and it may be difficult to rescue the victims buried deep under the rubble."

"But we still need you to help the people, suppress chaos, drive away the epidemic, and provide food supplies!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at Su Jiao and others and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have enough energy to go to all directions and rescue the victims?"

Su Jiao smiled: "It's just seven days, how can it be in time for a big battle?"

"I have plenty of energy left, I am willing to go to all directions!"

Zhou Qingchen, Feng Jie and other ministers also bowed without hesitation: "I am willing to go!"
