Chapter 175: My Emperor is kind
After the emperor's cavalry passed by, the officials who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time left one by one in carriages.
When Wei Jiu and Liu Wanzhi were left, they were dumbfounded. Pingkangfang was very close to Zhuque Gate. They were too lazy to take the carriage and walked here. But what should they do now? Even if they go back to get the carriage at this time, Li
Er's bodyguards won't allow them to join in, so what's the deal?
After walking a few steps behind the convoy, Wei Jiu became a little irritated and took out a bag of money from his arms and threw it to Liu Wanzhi.
"Go! Now find someone to buy two horses. If you go outside the city, you will be exhausted. Can you believe it?"
"Are you crazy? Everyone rides in a carriage but we two idiots ride a horse? Have you noticed that His Majesty has stopped beating you recently?"
"I have a way. If you're afraid of beating me, you can ride on your own. You can walk."
"I ride too. I went to see Miao Hui last night and my legs are a little weak now."
"Liu Wanzhi, you fucking gave Miao Hui?"
"I'm going to buy a horse!"
An accident, definitely an accident. Wei Jiu sincerely admires Liu Wanzhi's courage. Isn't he afraid that Zhang Chi's father will catch him in the middle of the night and chop up his second brother?
It was torture for Wei Jiu to follow the team on foot, but it was the envy of the people watching on the street. They also wanted to follow the team, which could only be accompanied by a third-grade official with a minimum title of nobility.
At this time, a carriage stopped aside, and the carriage behind accelerated to follow the team. When Wei Jiu passed the carriage, a burst of laughter came from the carriage, and Wei Jiu cursed loudly after hearing this.
"Li Ke, make some room for me."
Li Ke's handsome face poked out of the car window and looked at Wei Jiu with a wicked smile.
"There's no place, there's no place. All we have here is oil and pot. Come in and I'll fry it for you?"
Wei Jiu was so angry that his tooth hurt, and he pointed at Li Ke and cursed.
"Do you still have any humanity?"
Li Ke burst out laughing. The quarrel between the two caused the people in the carriage in front to keep turning their heads and looking sideways. Gradually, the news that Wei Jiu and His Highness King Wu were messing around in the rear reached Li Er's ears, and an oral order was immediately issued.
Give each of these two evil deeds a whip and whip them to death.
The executioner was a toad. After the two crisp cracks of whips were heard, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who wanted to go to the back to join in the fun, sat quietly in the carriage and remained motionless.
Not long after, Liu Wanzhi came back with the horse. Wei Jiu got on his horse and followed the team. This made Li Ke jealous. He also wanted to ride a horse and didn't want to sit in this carriage like a girl. He had been with him several times.
Wei Jiu discussed the exchange, but was ruthlessly rejected by Wei Jiu. As for Liu Wanzhi, he simply ignored Li Ke.
Although there is a difference in identity, they are too familiar.
But Wei Jiu didn't last long. His and Liu Wanzhi's horses were snatched away, and each of them was kicked. Wei Jiu lay in the carriage and glared at the two old men driving the horses at a gallop.
How does this look like being a public servant?
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong snatched away the horse. The former galloped to the right side of Li Er's open-air chariot and smiled at Li Er.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with me, old Cheng. I'm usually fine, but once I travel with you, I want to walk by your side, just like before."
There was a cold snort from the left, and Li Er turned his head to look at Yu Chigong on the other side. He didn't know whether it was because he remembered the past, or whether it was because the two old brothers had such a heart now. In short, most of the haze in his heart was gone. Who can say?
After becoming the emperor, I am left alone? I still have my old brothers around me, and this world should be mine.
After leaving the Chang'an city gate, Li Er's face changed. Looking around, he saw no fields or mountains, just people gathered densely together. After slowly approaching, he found that they were dressed in tatters, with yellow faces and muscles, and there were even women hugging them.
I breastfed my infant child, but she had not had any milk for several days, so there was no milk left to keep her full.
The tragic scenes made Li Er frown, and anger surged into his heart. Looking at the crops eaten clean by locusts and the suffering people, at this moment Li Er burst out with murderous intent in his heart.
Officials and concubines stood behind Li Er.
The people affected by the disaster stared blankly at the sudden appearance of a group of people in front of them. They did not know who the current emperor was, who the queen was, or who the prince was, but they knew that the person in front of them was a noble person. Some people knelt on their knees and knelt down repeatedly.
, if one person does this, hundreds of others will follow suit.
Slowly, all the victims outside the city knelt on the ground and knelt down continuously, without any begging, and they were very quiet.
But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable it made Li Er's heart. These people who had been tortured and became less human were his people, Li Er's people, and the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Er suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it in the air. When he opened his hand again, there was a locust in his hand. Looking at the locust in his hand that had difficulty flying, Li Er was furious. He raised his other hand to pinch the locust, his eyes were blood red.
He roared.
"The people have to rely on food to survive, but you let evil animals like you destroy the crops. If the people have any sins, let me bear it alone. If you are really spiritual, you can come and eat my heart and lungs, Li Shimin. Don't do it
Bring suffering to my people."
At this moment, the people who were kneeling were stunned, and they all raised their heads and looked at the man holding the locust in his hand.
He is the emperor?
Is he the current His Majesty?
But as they watched, their emperor put the locust in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it.
Li Er clenched his teeth and shouted loudly at the kneeling people with a red face.
"Any mistakes you make or any charges you have will be borne by me, because you are my people and the people of my Datang Empire."
The people knelt down and worshiped again, shouting for the mercy of our emperor, and many of them burst into tears.
With such a majesty, what are they still asking for?
At this time, how could the person behind him still stand still? Cheng Yaojin stepped forward, grabbed a locust and threw it into his mouth. Li Er swallowed it, chewing it, and roared loudly while chewing.
"Cheng Yaojin is willing to share everything for His Majesty. If you are really spiritual, you will first devour my heart and lungs, Cheng Yaojin. If there is not enough."
"And I, Yuchi Jingde."
"And I, Li Xiaogong."
"My eldest grandson Wuji."
"I am Qin Shubao."
"I have Fang Xuanling."
Li Er turned his back to the officials behind him. The people were moved by his actions, how could he not be moved by the old brothers behind him.
The eldest grandson stepped forward, came to Li Er's side, bent down to pick up a locust in front of her, smiled at Li Er, and then swallowed it in her mouth. Not long ago, she was worried about this, worried that she would really eat a locust.
, but at this time Changsun is willing to accompany Li Er, and she will eat after he eats it.
The husband sings and the wife follows.
But tender moments are always ruined by others, and a voice that disturbs emotions comes from behind.
"Empress, according to the order, His Royal Highness should eat first!!!"
The eldest grandson turned his head with a death glare, but did not see the evil figure of Wei Jiu. Li Er did not want his eldest grandson to swallow this dirty thing, so he patted the eldest grandson's back gently.
"This evildoer is right, Li Chengqian! Come here to me."
Li Chengqian stepped forward quickly. As a son, he did not want his eldest grandson to eat locusts. He grabbed a locust and smiled faintly at his eldest grandson. He raised the locust to his eyes with his trembling right hand and slowly opened his mouth. To be honest, Li Chengqian was a little bit
He was afraid, but he relaxed his vigilance because of fear. Li Tai appeared beside him at some point, quickly grabbed the locust and stuffed it into Li Chengqian's mouth, and then closed Li Chengqian's mouth with his next move.
Li Chengqian glared at Li Tai angrily, but Li Tai just smiled.
"Brother, please hurry up and eat. Third brother has already eaten. Little brother will eat now."
After saying this, he raised a small golden dumpling in his right hand and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it crisply and showed enjoyment on his face. Seeing this, Li Chengqian became even more angry. He swallowed the locust in his mouth and pointed at Li Tai and roared in a low voice.
"What are you eating?"
"Brother! Locusts, Father didn't say you can't eat them fried? By the way, please keep your voice down, Changle and the concubines don't know they are locusts yet, they are delicious."
At this moment, Li Chengqian wanted to kill someone. He really wanted to kill someone, but he turned around and saw Changle holding a plate of yellow and orange dumplings and eating them. He couldn't bear it!
Li Er glanced at Li Chengqian and Li Tai with cold eyes. The two guys suddenly became like mice in front of a cat. Li Er snorted coldly and shouted loudly to the victims.
"I have said that you are my people, and I will not let you suffer. You can catch locusts, and you can exchange a sack of locusts for six cents if you send them to the government. In addition, I have ordered that from today onwards, we will provide food for disaster relief!"
The people kowtowed again.
