The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

The next day was still fine weather.

Yu Jin woke up early, and after washing up, he went to the yard to punch for a while, and when the cold was over again, the prince heard the news of washing up.

Not too particular about the outside, Zhao Shilang accompanied the prince and Yu Jin for breakfast.

The squire came in with the tray in person, and his daughter, a young and beautiful lady, set the dishes.

The prince couldn't help but look at the little girl a few more times.

Although it can't compare with Yingying Yanyan in the East Palace, this kind of country wild flower is also unique.

The crown prince is a woman who can't be separated, but this time he can't bring his wife, concubines and palace maids, and his heart can't help but stir.

The squire blushed with excitement when he saw that the prince looked at his daughter a few more times.

God, how much virtue their ancestors have accumulated to actually have the opportunity to entertain the prince and the prince!

If the daughter is favored by the prince, it will be a step to the sky.

With a crisp sound, a pair of chopsticks fell to the ground.

The little girl hurriedly picked it up, rubbed it on her dress, and was about to put it on the dining table.

The squire hurriedly grabbed his daughter and scolded: "How can the chopsticks that fell on the ground still be used by nobles, take them out quickly."

The little girl grimaced and turned around to go out.

The prince frowned.

Such rude behavior is disgusting.

His interest vanished immediately.

The squire hurriedly apologized: "The little girl is rude, Your Highness abruptly."

"It's okay, I don't need you to serve here, let's step back." The prince said impatiently when he lost interest in the little girl, and even less in the little girl's father.

The squire withdrew and called his daughter over for a scolding: "I'm not very clever at ordinary times, why can't I even hold a chopstick? That's all, if the chopsticks are dropped and rubbed on the body, you're going to be mad at me?"

The girl smiled and said: "I did it on purpose, so that those eyes won't stare at me. Hmph, don't think that I don't know about my father's idea, let me tell you, I would rather marry a farmer than a farmer. Don't be a concubine for the seductive prince—"

"Damn girl, you whisper to me—"

The girl stuck out her tongue at the squire and ran away.

The squire shook his head helplessly.

That's all, he can't help his children when they are older, so he doesn't need to worry about it, so as not to die of anger.

In the dining room, the prince dawdled over breakfast, knowing that he could not escape, and said to Zhao Shilang: "Let's go, go to Qianhe County to see."

Zhao Shilang breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that His Highness would not even go there, making their faces from the capital look ugly.

Half an hour later, the prince and his party appeared at the gate of the county town.

"Your Highness, put on your coat before entering the city. The coat is fumigated with herbs."

The prince naturally wouldn't shirk, he hurriedly put on the thin coat that Zhao Shilang handed over, pointed to the city wall more than ten feet tall, and said, "Climb high and look into the distance, let's take a look at the city wall, so that we can get a glimpse of the whole picture."

Everyone's expressions twisted.

"Cough, the prince is right." Zhao Shilang couldn't help laughing and laughing. Seeing that the prince was unwilling to take risks at all, he didn't force it.

The emperor sent the prince to comfort the victims. It was meant to be seen by officials and the rest of the world. When he went back, he wrote a large book and spread the word. Everyone praised the prince for his benevolence. Who would know whether the prince entered the city or not?

That's fine, at least the prince's safety is foolproof. If the prince is good or bad, then his career is over.

Everyone accompanied the prince to the city wall.

As the prince said, climb high and look far.

Yu Jin stood on the city wall and looked around, and saw a large area of ​​ruins in the northeast, which was startling. To the southwest, there are fewer collapsed houses. It seems to be empty. At this time, countless tents have been built, and shrunken figures can be seen walking around.

He watched these silently, his expression not changing much.

He has experienced wars big and small in the south, and he has seen many times worse than this. It's just that such a tragic situation is constructed by one's own people and the enemy, and the people who suffer in front of them are all the people of Dazhou.

Only then did Yu Jin realize that the two gave him different feelings.

The prince's eyes widened in shock.

The ground movement in front of the Taimiao Temple that day, the sky and the earth shook, and the flagpole was broken. After thinking about it, he was extremely frightened. He already thought it was the most frightening scene.

He even saw several soldiers carry a swollen corpse to one place.

Fortunately, it was far away, otherwise he would have vomited out the food he used in the morning.

The prince looked blankly at Zhao Shilang: "The earth has been moving for so long, how come there are still dead people?"

Zhao Shilang no longer wanted to comment on the prince's innocence, and replied: "That's the person who died of the epidemic. Often, if one person gets sick, it will affect the whole family, and then the whole family will die..."

The prince shuddered violently.

The disease is terrible, he wants to go home!

Resisting the urge to run away, the prince said with a pale face, "Can't you control it?"

Zhao Shilang smiled bitterly: "How can the epidemic be so well controlled, it is often-"

Afraid to scare the prince, he didn't say anything, just listened to a cold voice and said, "It's all dead, even if it's under control."

The prince and Zhao Shilang looked at the speaker together.

Yu Jin's face was pale, as if it wasn't him who just answered the call.

By now, he has understood the intention of these people.

Disaster relief, of course, requires relief, but people in the city never want to go out. If it continues like this, it will only be solved when the city no longer died from the epidemic, but it will be up to the fate of how many people are still alive at that time.

This method of dealing with epidemics is a practice passed down through many dynasties.

In the face of natural disasters, human life is as cheap as ants, and there is no way to do it.

Zhao Shilang did not expect that Yu Jin would directly reveal the unbearable truth, and sneered: "My lord is too pessimistic, and the people who are currently gathered in the west are not a big problem-"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden commotion.

Dozens of people came from the city and gathered at the city gate to confront the soldiers with spears.

"Let us out, let us out!"

"Open the city gate, let's not stay in the city and wait to die—"

The ragged people, men and women, old and young, looked numb and desperate, and all of them shouted with red eyes.

The prince opened his mouth: "These people—"

Zhao Shilang explained: "Gather the people in the west who want to leave the city."

A look of disgust flashed in the prince's eyes.

Who knows if these pariahs have contracted the disease, yet they go out of the city making a fuss, and they have no sense of responsibility for the safety of other people's lives! Fortunately, he was wise, and he just stood on the city wall and watched, otherwise, if he did enter the city, he would be offended by these pariahs.

The prince silently praised himself.

Seeing that the victims were making a fuss in front of the prince, Qianhe County magistrate shouted: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to this official. The court will definitely settle everyone well, and will not abandon anyone easily. You see. , This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness is visiting everyone on behalf of the Emperor—"

The crowd was quiet, and a broken shoe was suddenly thrown on the wall, hitting the crown prince's forehead.
