Five hundred and ninetieth chapters the grace of life
After leaving Jinzhou City, there is still a bustling scene outside the city.
Officials and the people are very busy, busy going up the mountain to collect wood and building tents. The existing tents are enough for the refugees in Jinzhou, but Li Su and the governor Yu and others agreed that the news of the release of grain relief outside Jinzhou City will soon spread, and refugees from all sides will inevitably come to hear the news. Then the existing tents will inevitably be insufficient. In the future, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people live together, and they must not be too crowded, otherwise it is easy to spread diseases, and it is imperative to expand the tents.
The carriage and horses stayed outside the city for a long time. Li Su and Li Zhi rode on the horse, quietly watching Yu governor Yu commanding the people to build projects with a tired look on his face. Officials at all levels were running around, the people carried wood and quarry, and there were also gurus from afar constantly stirring in the huge iron pot with a large spoon. The bitter cold wind was faintly mixed with a bit of porridge fragrance...
A smile broke out on the corner of Li Su's mouth.
China has thousands of years, but it is actually a history of suffering for thousands of years. Natural disasters, wars, plagues, and all kinds of sufferings have been mercilessly imposed on these hardworking and simple people. Countless people died because of this, and countless people were born with hope. There is always a spirit passed down from generation to generation, that is, living without accepting one's fate and competing for life with God.
Despite many hardships, this nation is still thriving from generation to generation, fighting against the sky, disasters, and people.
It was still gloomy weather and still a bleak early spring. But at this moment, Li Su seemed to see a green spring outside Jinzhou City. Flowers bloomed in the green grass.
“Depart!”
Li Suyi looked at the vibrant scene again reluctantly and waved her hand to order.
There are still all kinds of hardships and difficulties waiting for him, just like these people outside the city, gritting their teeth to overcome them one by one, and living, and not slacking off.
The chariot and horses slowly started to move, and the wheels of the cart made a squeaking sound.
The ceremonial guards of thousands of people, and more than two thousand temporary recruits were escorted by the civilians, escorting five thousand stones of food. The vast team quickly attracted the attention of officials and people outside the city.
Yu, who was commanding the project in the distance, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lifted up the hem of his official robe and ran towards Li Su and others.
Li Su waved at him from afar, stopped his actions with a smile, and bowed to him from afar, as a farewell.
Governor Yu stopped, his eyes seemed to be red, and he was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly: "All officials and civilians, stop the work in their hands!"
The officials and civilians around were stunned, stopped in confusion, and looked at Yu curiously.
Governor Yu took a deep breath and shouted loudly with a hoarse voice: "The officials and civilians of Jinzhou, thank His Highness King Jin, the Marquis of Li County, Jingyang, for their survival, the emperor's kindness is vast, and they are loved by all people. They are born in this world, and the blessing of the people!"
After the governor Yu finished speaking, all the officials and civilians around him were stunned for a moment, and then knelt down to Li Su and Li Zhi one by one. Even the women, children and elderly people who were resting in the tent walked out of the tent and knelt down to the two young people riding on the horse from afar.
"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin, the grace of Marquis Li for his life!"
The sound is like thousands of horses running together, shaking the mountains and fields.
Li Su's eyes also turned red, and she pursed her lips and said nothing. Li Zhi next to her was already moved, and she sat on the saddle and she cried like rain.
With Li Zhi, they turned over and dismounted. The two of them dressed and bowed solemnly to the people who were kneeling around them to express their grace to the return gift.
"Li Su (Li Zhi) thanked the elders of Jinzhou..." the two said in unison.
Li Su laughed with tears in her eyes, waved her hand around, and said, "Please come up, everyone...you must live well!"
After saying that, the two of them got on the horse, looked around nostalgically, and the team slowly started again.
The officials and civilians in Jinzhou still knelt down on the ground, watching quietly as the guard of honor gradually drifted away.
******************************************************************
The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people.
Saving one person from water and fire is just a small path, and helping all people to hang upside down, so it is called the great path.
Walking on the way to Jinyang, Li Zhi was always in an excited state. Even Li Su, who had lived for two lifetimes, was in a state of great excitement.
Li Zhi's face was flushed, and he rode on the horse and scratched his ears and his forehead, so excited that he didn't know how to vent his anger.
Li Su turned his head and looked at him, and smiled and said, "Your Highness is very happy?"
"Yeah!" Li Zhi focused his head and smiled, "Ji now knows the joy of doing good. It turns out that this is...so..."
"Satisfied? Enriched?" Li Su smiled and helped him answer.
"Yes, satisfied, fulfilled, like drinking nectar, refreshing..." Li Zhi smiled shyly, and then sighed: "Zhi lived in the palace all year round, not knowing the sufferings of the people. When my father sent me to Jinyang, I was actually a little reluctant, thinking that it was a job that was not worth it. But today I saw the people outside Jinzhou thanking me, and I suddenly felt that no matter how much I suffered and how much tired I suffered, it was worth it."
Li Su smiled and said, "Your Majesty often talks about 'water also carries a boat, and water also capsizes a boat'. Your Highness lives in the palace, and may not understand the profound meaning of this sentence. What we have seen and experienced with our own eyes today must have known that it is true. The people of the Tang Dynasty are kind and responsible and content. As long as they are not allowed to hunger, they are willing to offer to the powerful, including your father. 'The people are water, and the king is boat' is this reason. Therefore, if the water is carried, the boat will be sailing, and if the water is poured, the boat will be overturned. We who make boats should also bear some responsibilities for the water. What we do in Jinzhou is part of the responsibility."
Li Zhi showed a confused look and nodded in a vague way.
Li Su glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.
I am still a child, and I don’t really understand much of the principles in the world. It’s enough to say that. As the days ahead are longer, I will slowly move into subtle ways.
Since he met Li Zhi, Li Su has consciously or unconsciously instilled some truths in him. Some are easy to understand, some are more profound, and Li Zhi has understood some, while others cannot understand them deeply.
As the prince who will inevitably inherit the throne of Li Shimin in the future, becomes the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and under his rule, he has created something that is not inferior to Zhenguan, Li Su felt that he had the responsibility to deeply implant all positive energy into his bones when Li Zhi was still young.
Because of his arrival, some historical trends and directions have changed, but Li Su has gradually fallen in love with this simple era, and without being too tired, this dynasty will go higher, further, and stronger. The emperor's role and influence on the country is huge. Li Su hopes that Li Shimin can produce another wise and saint king, who will live up to the expectations of the people of the world, shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country, and continue to lead the Tang Empire forward.
This is why Li Su, a person who is so lazy that he is so lazy that he never tires about instilling the principles of life and spiritual chicken soup in the little kid along the way. After doing this bowl of chicken soup that is heartless but not kidney-free, he will replenish some moral values for the little kid.
After saying the big truth, Li Su felt awkward. He found that he was not used to talking about these big truths. He sometimes couldn't do the things he had instilled in Li Zhi. The typical fake big empty slogans were glad that the little brat actually believed without any doubt.
Very good, I like this kind of brat who is easy to fool.
The team walked out of Jinzhou and entered the boundary of Jinyang. The place names of the two places seemed to be only one word apart, but in fact they were hundreds of miles apart. In addition to the guards of honor, the team now also had civilians and trucks of food, so it took at least ten days to walk these hundreds of miles.
…………
After being excited, you have to continue living the days you should live and the road you should walk.
The team soon became silent and boring again, and slowly moved in silence.
"Brother Zizheng, it's so boring..."
After listening to the great truth, Li Zhi felt bored. The journey was so boring. There are no mobile phones playing music and watching movies these days. He rode on horses all day long, and it was tired and tasteless. Li Su thought that children of this age could endure it all the way.
Li Su glanced at him: "Your Highness is bored? Do you want me to find dozens of Kabuki for you to come around and sing and dance around the palace?"
Li Zhi's eyes lit up: "Brother Zizheng really has a way to get this in the wilderness..."
Before he finished speaking, looking at Li Su's expressionless face, Li Zhi stopped talking and said dejectedly: "Brother Zizheng, you deceive me again..."
Then his expression immediately became flattering, mixed with a hint of vulgarity, and Li Su curled his lips in disgust.
"Brother Zizheng, the story of the Three Kingdoms, I haven't told the story of the Three Kingdoms for many days..." Li Zhi begged.
"Three Kingdoms... Didn't you extort all your belongings by me? Have you had money to listen to the story again?" Li Su showed a philanthropist face.
Li Zhi: “…………”
What about the tall and glorious image of Brother Zizheng just now? What about the righteous appearance of "the people are like water, the king is like a boat"? The style of painting changes too quickly, and the little kid cannot adapt to the psychological gap for a while.
"Zhi... wrote the IOU, and returned it back to Chang'an as much as possible." Li Zhi gritted his teeth.
Li Su took out a thick stack of IOUs from his arms and said slowly: "Your Highness, how much money have you owe me along the way? Are you sure you can pay it back after you return to Chang'an?"
"Brother Zizheng looked at my sincere expression..." Li Zhi blinked his eyes and acted cute.
Tsk!
Li Su was so disgusted that the little brat didn't learn well these days, and even learned his signature tone...
"Okay, write the IOU first, then tell the story...Where did you talk about it last time?"
"Three heroes fight Lu Bu." The little brat has a good memory.
"Oh, yes, the three heroes fought against Lu Bu. The treacherous minister Dong Zhuo usurped the power, Cao Cao summoned the eighteen princes of the world to fight against the thieves... Wait, who is this? What is he writing?" Li Su stopped talking and looked curiously at a person dressed by a scholar who had just been summoned by Li Zhi. Although this person was dressed as a scholar, he was good at riding a horse. Not only did he let go of the reins with both hands, he also held a pen in one hand and a hardwood board with a stack of paper on it.
Li Zhi smiled flatteringly: "Brother Zizheng, don't doubt it. Zhi just wants to remember one. Your story is too interesting. It's not enough to listen to it. So Zhi ordered the clerk to record it and read it when there are flaws..."
Li Su glanced at him and said leisurely: "Remember the story... This is the price, it's different. It's going to increase the price, copyright fees, etc.... Yes, um."
