All the ministers were against rescuing the victims outside Linzhou city. Yuxi stood at the table and did not speak. In the study, suddenly fell into a strange silence.
It was Xu Wu who finally broke the silence: "princess, at the end of the day, I feel that the adults have made a lot of sense. We all have a lot of trouble in rescuing our own victims, so we have no spare resources to help the victims under the rule of the imperial court. Why did the princess make such a decision? " Two days ago, the princess also said that she pitied the victims, but there was nothing she could do. Now I change my mind. Something must have happened.
As soon as Xu Wu's words fell, the twelve ministers looked at Yu Xi. In fact, people don't understand. If Yuxi wanted to help these victims, he would have said that he didn't have to wait for today.
Yuxi put his right hand on the table and said in a deep voice: "last night, I had a nightmare..."
Tan Tuo first asked: "I don't know what dream the princess had?" Following Yuxi for more than ten years, he watched Yuxi grow up step by step with his own eyes. How can he not know that Yuxi is not such a sentimental person. It's just that we must oppose it from his standpoint before we understand the reason.
Yuxi said in a mosquito like voice: "I dream that I have become one of the refugees. At the beginning of the day with wild vegetables to eat, but wild vegetables are also quickly dug up by the public. When there is nothing to eat, you can only drink water as much as you can. I can't sleep at night because I'm hungry. I can only cover my stomach and look at the stars in the sky. Then I make a wish to the stars. I hope someone can help us to survive this disaster. "
Hearing Yu Xi's description, everyone showed a look of surprise. Everyone present had nightmares, but no one could describe the dream in such detail as Yuxi.
Glancing at the crowd, Yuxi continued: "there is nothing to eat. 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, people who are infected with the plague will be carried out and burned as soon as they are found... "
Xu Wu is not as good as others. Hearing this, he asked: "is it true that the princess is also infected with the plague in her dream?"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I'm not infected with the plague, but I'm hungry. In order 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 when they didn't hear me, they threw me on the firewood to burn. "
Hearing this, all the people present changed color. This dream is really weird.
Without waiting for someone to ask, Yuxi said: "maybe you think it's just a dream, but I really feel the heartbreaking pain of the fire burning on my body. Thanks to this dream, I know what it's like to burn myself in a fire and burn my skin and flesh. " In order to make the effect realistic, Yuxi not only didn't apply to her eyes to remove the dark circles, but also specially asked mother Qu to make up for her, making her look particularly haggard. This is why Xu Wu was so scared when he saw her.
Fu Ming Ming said: "is it heaven's warning to ask the princess to help these victims?" It's normal to have nightmares, but such weird dreams are unusual.
Yuxi said in a voice: "I thought about it all night yesterday and came to the same conclusion as you. This is God watching me stand idly by the victims, specially let me suffer once in my dream. If I don't help these victims, it may not be as simple as a nightmare. It's likely that there will be more severe punishment. "
Now that I've said that, no one dares to raise any objection. Otherwise, it would be regardless of the life of Yuxi.
Yuxi said: "there are hundreds of thousands of victims in Hebei and Shandong. Even if I have this heart, I can't do it. But the group of victims outside Linzhou city can still be rescued. "
Shen Chunting said: "princess, I'm afraid that when other victims get the news, they will rush in." When it's time to save, it's time to save. Help, not so much food. If you don't save, you're afraid of being punished. At that time, it was a real dilemma.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "the plague broke out outside Linzhou city. The victims in other places won't rush there when they get the news." As for other places, she's not going to take care of them.
As the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, Shen Chunting has a tight control over money: "princess, we still have nearly a million victims under our own rule who need to settle down and help. We don't have so much money and food. I think even if we want to help these victims, there must be a limit. "
Yuxi said: "this is natural."
After talking about the relief of the victims outside Linzhou city. Yuxi asked Yuan Ying, Minister of the Ministry of war, to stay and the others put him back.
Out of the palace, Fu Ming Ming asked Tan Tuo: "my Lord, do you think the princess's dream is true or false?" Fu Ming Ming believed in Confucianism and instinctively did not believe in ghosts and gods. But looking at Yuxi haggard look, he can't help but believe. Furthermore, Yuxi didn't have to make up these words to cheat them.
"As long as you know, the princess wants to help these victims," Tan said True or false is not important, what matters is the attitude and decision of the princess.
Fu Mingming understood the implication of Tan Tuo's words and immediately nodded his head: "I understand."
After talking with Yuan Ying, it's almost lunch. Yuxi plans to go back to the backyard for dinner. He goes out of the study and looks up at the blue sky, spitting out a foul breath.
Back in the backyard, the first thing to do is to wash his face. After washing off the powder on his face, Yuxi felt much more relaxed.
Mother Quan looked at Yuxi and said, "but the problem has been solved?"
Yuxi handed Banxia the towel and said, "today I called all the ministers and told them that I decided to help the victims outside Linzhou city." Food is still good to solve, mainly medicinal materials. The garrison troops in various places had stored a lot of medicinal materials before, and only a part of them could be drawn out for the time being.
A lot of herbs have timeliness. Anyway, there won't be a big war in the past two years. Use them first, and then make them up.
Mother Quan is such a smart person. Even when she is old, she still has a clear mind: "did the nightmare you had last night have something to do with the victims?" Otherwise, Yuxi's attitude would not change so fast.
Yuxi did not deny it and nodded.
"You! It's a soft heart, a hard face and a soft heart. " She thought that Yuxi could really be cruel to ignore these victims, but she did not expect that she still overestimated Yuxi.
Yuxi said, "I just want to do my part." How I wish someone could help her before she died. Unfortunately, to death, there is no such a person. People who have never experienced that kind of despair and pain will never experience it. So she wanted to do something for the victims and help them. Not to get their gratitude, just for their own peace of mind.
Three days later, Liu Tienan received a letter from Yuxi. Seeing that Yuxi said in his letter that he should help the victims outside the city, Liu Tienan was in a bit of a dilemma. Now there is a plague outside the city. If we help these people and bring the plague into the city, the whole Linzhou city will be in danger. But since the princess has orders, he can't refuse to carry them out. After thinking about it, Liu Tienan called several generals to discuss this matter.
Li Jun stood up and said, "general, I'm willing to take food and medicine out of the city." It's very dangerous to go out this time. After all, no one can guarantee that he won't be infected with the plague. But Li Jun decided to go, not because he was great, but because he wanted to do his part for the victims.
Liu Tienan said: "if you are willing to take people to help those victims, I will not stop you, but there are some words I have to say ahead. After you go out, I won't let you come back until the plague is solved. " It's not that Liu Yongnan is ruthless, but that he wants to think about more than 100000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people in Linzhou city.
Li Jun nodded: "general, I understand. General, I just want to go home and see my wife and children before I leave the city. " Before every battle, he would go home to see his wife and children. This time, though not to fight, it is more dangerous than fighting.
Liu Yongnan said, "yes, but you have to come back quickly. You have to deal with a lot of things." He could prepare food and herbs, but Li Jun had to choose his entourage. And these people who follow out of the city must be voluntary, not forced.
Li Jun nodded and said, "I'll come back when I see them."
Gu Li didn't understand and asked, "general, didn't you say that the princess was not going to take care of the victims outside the city? Why do we have to help them now? " There's too much change.
Liu Tienan held the sword in his hand and said, "what does the princess think? Can I guess? We just have to follow orders. " As for what the princess thought, he didn't bother to guess.
Aunt Jia, her two children and sister Shang all moved to Linzhou city. Knowing that her husband was going to help the victims outside the city, aunt Jia immediately burst into tears: "I don't want to stop you from helping the victims, but you shouldn't take risks. What do you want me to do with Xia'er like this? " Aunt Jia named Li Junsheng's son Li Wenxia. It may be that Aunt Jia didn't regenerate after she gave birth to Li Wenxia.
Li Jun wiped aunt Jia's tears and said, "daughter in law, don't cry. When we fled, we hoped that someone could help us. We were lucky to have been blessed by the princess. Now those victims outside the city need help. I can't stand by. Don't worry, daughter-in-law. I'll come back safely. " He can't die in war. How can a small plague kill him.
Aunt Jia knew that this was the end of the matter, and it was useless to say anything else. He handed the child over to Li Jun and went to pack up by himself.
Back in the army, Liu Tienan said to Li Jun, "you can read. You can see the things on it by yourself." The reason why Li Jun can be promoted to the garrison of Wupin so quickly has a lot to do with his literacy. You know, there are very few people who can read in the army. In recent years, Liu Tienan has been guarding Linzhou City, and did not go to war with Yunqing. Otherwise, Li Jun's position might have been higher.
Li Jun took the pamphlet, looked at a page and was surprised. He said, "general, this is very useful." It says that you must not drink raw water where there is plague. The place where the patient lives must be cleaned up and disinfected with vinegar or liquor every day. All in all, I wrote a book full of books.
Liu Tienan said, "it came with the letter. The princess has also sent two doctors. They are on their way now. " He took out part of the grain first.
Li Jun asked the key question: "general, what about the medicinal materials?" There is a doctor, if there is no medicine is futile.
Liu Tienan said: "the princess didn't say it in her letter, but since she decided to save these people, she would certainly find a way to get the medicine. Now, we'll take some of them out of the army for the time being. " With Yuxi's orders, he is not afraid to take responsibility.
Li Jun went to the army and selected 300 people. These people are basically from Hebei or Shandong. Looking at these victims under the city, they are also impatient and want to do something for them.
Liu Tienan did not open the gate, but put them down with a hanging basket. After the grain and medicine, he also prepared to use the basket to put down.
The movement on the city wall has long been noticed by people who want to. When Li Jun and his party all landed, someone came up. He was a big, thick man, but he looked very smart.
As soon as he came up, he introduced himself to Li Jun: "my name is ye jiuying. I don't know what to call him." This person's eyes are also sharp, you can see that Li Jun is the leader.
Li Jun said: "my name is Li Jun, are you the person in charge here?" There are tens of thousands of victims here. If no one was in charge, it would have been a mess.
Ye jiuying nodded and said, "yes. Mr. Li, I don't know what's in these baskets? " With that, he looked straight at more than ten big baskets behind Li Jun, his eyes full of expectation.
"These are all medicinal materials," Li said. We've been ordered by the princess to help you. If you need anything, you can tell me. I will relay your request to the princess
Hearing this, ye jiuying immediately said, "what we lack most is food." Those who are infected with plague can be saved, but there is no way to save them. But other people who are not infected with the plague must have food if they want to survive.
Li Jun, who had suffered a lot, nodded: "the princess has ordered us to send you 10000 Jin of grain first. These grains will be put down from the wall by our people later. It's up to you to arrange this. " He is ready to let his own people watch. If no one organizes, the food will be robbed by then.
Ye jiuying grabbed the people beside him excitedly and said, "ah Xun, we have waited, we have finally waited." They are here all the time because they are told that the princess is a kind and generous person and believe that the princess of Ming will help them.
At the beginning, there were many people waiting here, but waiting for a long time didn't make any noise. Many people feel hopeless and give up to leave, but he insists on staying. And now, finally, let him wait.
Lin Xun also had tears in his eyes and said, "yes! Finally, let's wait. " As long as Princess Ming is willing to help them, their wives and children can live.
It's only September now, and there are wild vegetables to eat outside. When winter comes, many people will freeze to death, and few will survive.
