Winter has arrived, and spring is waiting to return.
It is a pity that countless people will stay in this winter of the 29th year of Zhengde forever.
After bidding farewell to Leader Wenxin, Xu Yi was not in a hurry to take the next step.
Instead, he was leaning on the master's chair in the study room, flipping through the files in his hands that he had already memorized.
The rising sunlight in the morning passed through the window sill of the study room and shone on the Taishi chair.
In vain, the man on the Taishi chair melted away a little bit of the coldness.
Added two or three points of warmth.
After a while.
Xu Yi put down the file in his hand, crossed his hands behind his head, and slowly closed his eyes.
Letting the sun shine happily on his body, his whole body assumed an extremely lazy posture.
Time passed slowly, I don’t know how long it had passed.
Suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the study.
Xu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside the study.
Outside the study, a thin, middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance slowly walked towards the study.
It’s about asking the heart. A completely inconspicuous question thrown into the crowd.
"Wen Xin pays homage to the young master." Wen Xin crossed the threshold of the study, stayed two steps away from Xu Yi, and saluted respectfully.
Xu Yi slowly sat up straight, and the laziness on his face disappeared in an instant.
What replaced it was seriousness and solemnity, and upon closer inspection, there was actually a hint of murderous intent.
"Where has he gone?" Xu Yi asked calmly.
Wen Xin cupped his hands and replied: "Back to my little master, after Chang Shuirong left Jingzhao Mansion, he went directly to Qingzhou Feng's house."
"The Feng family took a carriage from Qingzhou to the Duke of Song Dynasty, and the head of the Feng family accompanied him all the way."
"The two of them stayed at the Duke of Song's Mansion for more than half an hour and then parted ways."
"When my subordinates return, there are two Wenxins left to follow the head of the Feng family, three Wenxins to follow Chang Shuirong, and four Wenxins are distributed outside the Duke of Song's mansion."
"You did a good job." Xu Yi praised, and then ordered: "If there is any abnormality in these three families, report it as soon as possible."
Wenxin bowed his hands and said solemnly, "I obey your orders!"
"Go." Xu Yi waved his hand.
After Wen Xin walked out of the study, Xu Yi frowned instantly.
Among the twenty-six princes who founded the Zhou Dynasty, only one was qualified to be hereditary.
The Dukes of other countries have long since disappeared in the long river of time with the passage of time.
As for the Duke's family, most of the children in the family are active in various armies.
To a certain extent, it can be understood that the family has some military power.
And this Song Guogong was one of the Duke's family.
Interestingly, Xu Yi initially thought that the new backer Chang Shuirong was looking for would be the great general Li Guangli.
I never expected that at the end of the fight, it would be Zhang Yongnian, the Duke of Song Dynasty.
However, what Zhan Yongnian always looked down upon the most were his relatives who occupied the position of general.
First it was Zhao Qing, then Li Guangli.
"Zizzizi." Xu Yi frowned and smacked his lips and murmured in a low voice: "The situation is getting more and more interesting."
Whether it is Qingzhou Feng family or Song Guogong Zhang Yongnian.
In Xu Yi's eyes, they were just the first aristocratic family to be exposed.
Throughout Guanzhong, there are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, and countless disaster relief grains and relief funds are definitely not something that one or two aristocratic families can absorb.
Even if it is one of the noble family of another country.
but.
Now that it has surfaced.
Then I'll do the surgery on you first.
Without a mountain of ironclad evidence, it is naturally impossible to attack a prince.
However, just relying on the files in Xu Yi's hands was enough to beat the accomplice Qingzhou Feng family to half a disability!
Since a situation has been set up to attract all attention to Jingzhao Mansion, it will be convenient for leader Wen Xin to act.
So
, it’s time to win over one or two small aristocratic families and fake it!
In addition, the people in front of Jingzhao Mansion also need to be refreshed.
Although the donations from the people were extremely limited, Xu Yi at this time wished he could cook a pot of porridge with just one grain of millet.
Who has the right to despise the people for not donating enough?
Xu Yi slowly sat up straight and said in a deep voice toward the door: "Zhao Shou."
For a moment.
Zhao Shou quickly walked in from the study door: "Sixth Master."
Xu Yi stood up slowly and took off the disaster relief commander-in-chief badge from his waist.
He solemnly handed it to Zhao Shou and ordered: "Go immediately to mobilize Huo Chenghu's troops to come to Jingzhao Mansion!"
"We must ensure that there are 100 people in the Criminal Department, and there will be quite a few from Huo Chenghu on down!"
"And on the way back, no one is allowed to leave the formation without permission! If anyone disobeys orders, shoot them without mercy!"
Zhao Shou heard this and said solemnly: "Obey the order!"
The words are over.
Zhao Shou ran outside quickly.
At the same time, Xu Yi held the file and slowly walked towards the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion.
Outside the main entrance, there were still crowds of people.
Xu Yigang walked out of the main door.
Yao Silian walked up quickly.
He asked in a low voice: "How much food have been harvested now? How many days will it be enough for the victims outside the city? I see that there are obviously not as many people today as there were two days ago."
Xu Yi looked at the nervous Yao Silian and replied in a low voice: "If today is included, it will be enough for the people of Chang'an City for about ten days."
"It's only been about ten days." Yao Silian couldn't help but have a flash of disappointment on his face.
For three days, Yao Silian watched with his own eyes as grain trucks continuously took away grain from Jingzhao Mansion.
I thought that the food would be enough for the victims outside the city to eat for at least more than a month.
It had only been about ten days since I suddenly heard about it, and with the huge psychological gap, how could I not be disappointed.
Xu Yi added at the right time: "Being able to eat for ten days depends on everyone working together to provide disaster relief and no one putting their hands into the relief food."
Yao Silian came back to his senses and sighed heavily. He didn't understand these truths.
It's just that I was overwhelmed by the busy days.
Yao Silian sighed again, his eyes couldn't help but look at the two official seals on Xu Yi's waist.
He said solemnly: "Sixth Prince, please don't let down the two official seals on your waist."
"There's only so much I can help you with. The rest is up to you."
"At any time, please remember, Sixth Prince, that you are responsible for the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong."
Xu Yi looked at Yao Silian with a solemn face and said seriously: "Mr. Yao, please don't worry."
For some reason, Xu Yi clearly didn't make too many promises.
However, Yao Silian actually felt at ease after hearing those reassuring words.
Yao Silian turned around and stood parallel to Xu Yi, looking down at the dense crowd of officials, students, and common people.
only. Xu Yi's eyes were actually more focused on the densely packed stone tablets.
...
It’s not past half time (it will be two o’clock in the afternoon in later generations.)
Everyone who had been busy all morning in front of Jingzhao Mansion was chewing pancakes in their mouths.
I endured the pain in my wrist and continued writing furiously.
It’s not just officials and students.
Even Xu Yi was sitting at the small desk in front of Jingzhao Mansion.
Quickly writing down one name after another and one account after another on the paper.
I don’t know if it’s because of the status of Prince Xu Yi or because of his appearance.
Since Xu Yi sat at the desk, the queue in front of Xu Yi's desk has obviously grown a lot.
Moreover, the yin in the long dragon is strong and the yang is declining to the limit.
For a time, it became a scenery in front of Jingzhao Mansion.
Just as Xu Yi was writing non-stop.
On the street not far away, there was suddenly a sound
Come the sound of horse hooves!
After the sound of horse hooves, dozens of people trotted towards the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion with neat steps.
It doesn't take a while.
Everyone stopped completely in front of the Jingzhao Mansion.
Xu Yi calmly finished writing the last name in his hand.
He whispered an apology to the long queue in front of him.
Then he slowly stood up and walked towards Huo Chenghu and others.
See Xu Yi coming.
Huo Chenghu and other officials from the Ministry of Punishment quickly stood up and dismounted.
Facing Xu Yi, he cupped his fists and saluted, "Greetings to Jing Zhaoyin!"
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
Then he ordered Zhao Shou to bring all the horses in Jingzhao Mansion.
Huo Chenghu quietly walked towards Xu Yi and said in a low voice: "May I ask, sir, why did you call me here in such a hurry, but what happened?"
Xu Yi glanced at Huo Chenghu and the hundreds of criminal officials behind him.
He said softly: "Has Huo Yuanwailang noticed anything different in front of the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion?"
Huo Chenghu's heart trembled, if there was anything different in front of Jingzhao Mansion.
That is naturally the dense crowd of people, and the equally dense crowd of disaster relief merit monuments.
'Disaster Relief Monument! Huo Chenghu suddenly realized something in his heart and murmured: "Sir, are you talking about the Disaster Relief Monument?"
"Smart." Xu Yi praised, then pointed at the disaster relief monument behind him, and chuckled: "Don't Huo Yuanwai Lang feel that Han Fu Cheng is particularly lonely now?"
Huo Chenghu looked in the direction of Xu Yi's finger. There was a stone tablet standing apart from all the disaster relief merit tablets.
Han Tong's name was clearly written on the stone tablet. At a quick glance, he looked a little lonely.
Huo Chenghu understood this and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Huo, I will only follow your orders!"
Xu Yi smiled and said calmly: "At midnight on that day, the promise I made will always be valid."
The words are over.
Huo Chenghu was obviously relieved, and then he clasped his fists again.
How many people who can be sent to assist in disaster relief are important people in their respective ministries?
No one has anything against getting promoted and getting rich.
Huo Chenghu is only in his early thirties this year, which is an age when he is physically strong.
At this time, an ascending channel was placed in front of him without any obstruction.
Even if he knew that this passage was full of bloodshed, he would still go to the dark side!
Without him, not only would one general accomplish everything on the battlefield, but it would also be the case elsewhere!
The conversation between Xu Yi and Huo Chenghu was not secretive.
Because of this, the conversation between the two was listened to by many people.
The Imperial Academy students turned their heads to look at Xu Yi from time to time.
His eyes were full of admiration and yearning.
Yao Silian stroked his beard and looked at Xu Yi with a smile on his face, his eyes full of expectation.
It doesn't take a while.
Zhao Shou led a war horse and slowly walked out of Jingzhao Mansion.
Behind him, there were more than ten servants of Jingzhao Mansion, leading fast horses to follow silently.
Xu Yi reached out to take the reins and climbed onto the horse.
Then he pointed at the dozens of fast horses behind Zhao Shou and said loudly: "Official servants of the Ministry of Justice! All mount up!"
The words are over.
Dozens of horseless criminal officials walked quickly towards the horses with red faces.
What man doesn't love horses? Naturally, these officials from the Ministry of Justice are no exception.
In a short time, there were hundreds of people in the punishment department, each with a fast horse.
Xu Yi turned the horse's head and faced the confused and talking people head-on.
Since the arrival of Huo Chenghu and others, various discussions have been endless.
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly to signal everyone to be silent.
After the noise gradually subsided.
Xu Yi said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, I would like to thank you for your generosity over the past three days.
Thank you for your generous help. In the past three days, tens of thousands of victims have died outside the city because of your generous help! "
Xu Yi pointed at the densely packed stone tablets not far away and continued loudly: "Buddha said, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"
"You fellow villagers have built tens of thousands of pagodas!"
"If there really is a Buddhist country, then there must be pagodas everywhere in the Buddhist country!"
"Because of you! This disaster relief merit monument in front of Jingzhao Mansion has become a veritable merit monument!"
Xu Yi finished speaking.
Tens of thousands of people were completely excited. The seven-level pagoda and tens of thousands of pagodas were a veritable disaster relief meritorious service!
They didn't even dare to think about these things in the past!
But now, these things belong to them, even if their names are not on the merit monument at this time.
But they believe that before long, their names will definitely appear on the merit monument!
Some people who believed in Buddhism were so immersed in the cakes painted by Xu Yi that they could not help themselves. They wished they could go home and get all their money.
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly to stop the noise of the people.
Then he pointed to the Disaster Relief Merit Monument again and said loudly: "You are frugal and use your utmost kindness to help the people who have suffered the disaster! This is your credit! It is your kind thoughts pagoda!"
"But unfortunately, there are some giant rats! They are hiding in the dark and stealing everyone's good thoughts!"
"The kind thoughts were sent out, but before they even hit the ground, they were swallowed up by the rats! This prevented everyone's kind thoughts from falling completely on the people who suffered the disaster!"
"Good intentions cannot save people! This monument of merit is just a tower in the sky! It will never become a pagoda!"
"These rats are as hateful as thieves! Hateful!"
"Fellow folks! Tell me! What should we do!"
Xu Yi finished speaking.
A pot exploded in front of the Jingzhao Mansion! The angry voices of countless people shook the sky.
Thousands of words finally condensed into six characters: "Kill the corrupt officials! Get rid of the rats!"
Xu Yi looked at the officials from the Ministry of Justice inadvertently.
Seeing that everyone was like ordinary people, their faces turned red, they raised their right arms and shouted in unison: "Kill the corrupt officials! Get rid of the rats!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly in his heart.
Then he waved his hand to stop the noise.
He said loudly: "Today! I will personally capture Shuo Shu! Bring him to the Disaster Relief Monument of Shame!"
"Make it so! I will look up to you for your merits in all my life!"
"Make it! I will always be in the shadow of you all! Is that so good?!"
Xu Yi finished his words!
Deafening cheers instantly sounded in front of the Jingzhao Mansion.
It wasn't just the people who were excited, the students from the Imperial College all turned red at this time and shouted loudly!
It seemed that he was even more excited than the common people.
Xu Yi waved his hand again and said, "Please wait for a moment! My officer! Go and come back!"
The words are over.
Xu Yi waved his hand and galloped forward!
"Drive!" Zhao Shou and Huo Chenghu shouted and quickly followed Xu Yi's pace.
The remaining hundreds of officials from the Criminal Department all turned red and waved their whips wildly.
It's like there is nowhere to vent all the strength in your chest.
In an instant.
More than a hundred riders, with an unusually fierce momentum, galloped toward the distance.
The sound of horse hooves resounded through the streets, like a heavy drum, beating in the hearts of every citizen at the scene!
Countless people's blood surged instantly! I wish I could replace those hundreds of government officials.
Follow that majestic figure in person, and go back together!
For a moment.
The temperature in front of Jingzhao Mansion rose by more than ten degrees.
