Wu Yong stood outside the door in official uniform, with other officials involved in the disaster relief standing behind him.
At this moment, we are gathering together in twos and threes to discuss.
"His Royal Highness the speed of disaster relief is too fast."
"Yeah, it's only been about half a month, but Cangzhou City has been handled so well."
"It's true. If the people weren't still wearing masks, I would have thought that smallpox never happened."
Since entering Cangzhou, their team has been in surprise.
The villages along the way, although depressed, looked sparsely populated.
But there was no scene like the imagined scene of corpses strewn in the fields and the sky full of crows.
After coming to Fucheng, they refreshed their ideas.
Because order here seems to have been restored.
Wu Yong listened to the discussion among his men and did not say anything to stop it.
Underneath the indifferent expression, there was a hint of worry.
According to the news from Beijing, the change of generals this time was due to some other factors, not because the emperor was dissatisfied with him.
I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief.
But he didn't expect Mo Yun to bring news that he had offended the third prince.
After the third prince took over as the pacifier, he did not immediately trouble him. Instead, he was asked to take charge of disaster relief in other states.
Originally, it would have been better to adopt a steady advancement method according to his plan.
This is safe and secure, and at the same time it doesn't cost too much money.
One hundred thousand taels of silver sounds like a lot, but if it is really spread to these ten states, for some reasons, it may not be enough.
But no one expected that King Wu would be in Cangzhou.
He was also appointed as the pacifier of Hebei Province by the Holy Emperor, taking charge of the overall situation.
So as soon as the mission was completed, he hurried to Cangzhou to provide support, hoping to improve his evaluation in the eyes of King Wu.
Unfortunately, it is no longer needed now.
King Wu, who had never governed a place before, was able to solve the disaster in Cangzhou so quickly. If he was not talented, he was deliberately hiding his clumsiness.
"With this achievement, King Wu will be given some real power by His Majesty after he returns."
Wu Yong thought to himself.
At this moment, footsteps came from inside the yamen, and the people discussing around them immediately stood back to their original positions and looked forward quietly.
Li Ke stepped out of the yamen, and when he saw a group of officials below, his eyes naturally turned to the leader.
"Are you Wu Yong?"
"My lord, the envoy, is the lower official."
The latter bowed, his behavior was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had the proper etiquette.
Standing in front of Li Ke was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
He has a beard on his chin and wears the official uniform of the Imperial Censor of the Tang Dynasty.
With an upright appearance, he looks like an upright and upright official who is not afraid of imperial power.
Not to mention, the official uniform is also neatly dressed.
Just looking at such a person and thinking of the victims, the anger in Li Ke's heart became more and more intense.
"Very good. Since you are really Wu Yong, I won't hit the wrong person today."
"Fuck you!"
With an angry curse, under everyone's surprised gaze, Li Ke kicked the opponent directly in the chest.
This kick knocked Wu Yong directly to the ground, and even rolled him several times. The look of pain suddenly appeared on his face.
Before he could react, Li Ke grabbed his collar and rode directly on him.
No one expected that Li Ke would suddenly kick him like this, and he was stunned in place for a while.
"Mr. Comforter, what are you doing!"
Wu Yong endured the pain and looked at Li Ke in panic.
He did know that he was hated by King Wu, but he never thought that the other party would beat him in public.
What does this sound like?
"What?"
"Why do you have the nerve to ask me while riding a horse?"
Being asked this question, Li Ke became even more angry.
I saw Li Ke rounding his fist, and with a dull "bang" sound, the punch hit the opponent's eye socket.
"Ouch!"
After one punch, Wu Yong immediately cried out in pain, feeling like stars were shooting out of his eyes, and the vision in his left eye was blurred.
At this moment, other people present finally reacted, but no one dared to step forward to break up the fight.
Who is this person now?
But now their immediate boss.
So I had to dissuade him verbally.
"Master Comforter, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
"Your Highness King Wu, this is inappropriate. Master Wu is the censor of the Yushitai!"
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive!"
Everyone tried to dissuade him, which made Li Ke even more upset.
"Shut up, everyone. If anyone dares to persuade me again, I will beat you together today!"
Li Ke couldn't bear the trouble and said loudly.
After the words fell, everyone present shut up and stared at this scene with big eyes and small eyes.
But he was still confused in his heart.
Why did this start a fight?
The surrounding area fell silent. Li Ke looked at Mr. Wu who was covering his left eye and sneered.
"Do you know how many people have been killed just because of your bullshit disaster relief strategy?"
"You do not know?"
"Then let me tell you, there are 14,652 people!"
"These people had a chance to survive!"
Wu Yong covered his face. After hearing these words, he subconsciously defended himself: "Your Highness did not know something. The situation at that time was that it was indeed not allowed to enter Cangzhou."
"I can't help it!"
"piss off!"
"I can't help but think that I don't know anything?"
"You are just afraid of death!"
Li Ke interrupted him directly and looked at the other party coldly.
What Xu Xu Tuzhi is doing is bullshit!
The disaster is extremely urgent, and it's not like you are attacking the city, so who is waiting for you to take advantage of it?
Yes, fear of death is human nature!
Especially under today's circumstances, there is no specific medicine for smallpox. As long as you are infected, you are likely to die without treatment.
But this is not the reason for you Wu Yong!
"Wu Yong, if you are an ordinary doctor, you are afraid of death, so you choose not only to enter Cangzhou, but that's okay."
"I won't say anything to you either."
"But you are an official of the Tang Dynasty!"
"He is the pacifying envoy of Hebei Province appointed by the current Holy One!"
"Tell me, what is the mission of the Comforter?"
"Yes, it is to provide loans to disaster-stricken areas, exempt finance and taxation, and inspect officials..."
Wu Yong looked at the other party's frightening eyes, swallowed, and stammered in reply.
"Then let me ask you, have you done it?"
"I……"
Wu Yong was speechless and couldn't answer for a while. He couldn't even look directly at Li Ke.
Li Ke sneered when he saw this, let go and stood up. He originally wanted to punch him a few more times, but now he has no such interest.
No matter how hard you hit the opponent, the dead person cannot be resurrected.
"Eating the emperor's salary, being loyal to the emperor, and taking care of the emperor's worries are the duties of a minister. How far have you achieved it?"
"In this disaster relief, you Wu Yong neglected your duties, causing tens of thousands of people to be tortured and died by the plague. I will definitely take a good look at you!"
After saying this, Li Ke didn't bother to talk to the other party anymore, turned around and walked into the Yamen.
