On the other side, Confucius and his party quickly drove the carriage towards Chang'an City.
Although he said that he could not wait to fly to Chang'an City immediately, he also had a benevolent heart along the way.
Every time I pass by the county town, I stop and ask about local food issues.
Then he went to the door in person and relied on his old face to go to the wealthy merchant clans in the local county and personally borrowed food.
It can be said that I borrowed my old face along the way.
Fortunately, with the reputation of the Kong family, everyone will give themselves a little face.
Even at the minimum, three or four carts of food were prepared.
The benevolence and righteousness of Confucius once again penetrated deeply into the people.
And these news were constantly reaching Li Er's ears.
Li Er also had quite complicated feelings about this matter.
I actually hope that the clan members will open warehouses to store grain, so that more people can be helped.
At the same time, he did not want those clans to open warehouses to stockpile grain, and the court would provide relief to the victims.
Because if they open granaries to release grain, aren't they just trying to compete with themselves for the hearts and minds of the people?
In ancient times, if someone competed for the people's support, would an emperor be able to endure it?
the answer is negative.
Fortunately, Li Er still understands this member of the Kong family.
All other major families will rebel and may rebel, but the Kong family will never do so.
He also let Confucius and his entourage pass through various cities along the way and prepare food through the reputation of their Confucius family.
Otherwise, Li Er would find an excuse to get rid of them just by asking for food for the people.
The emperor is the most ruthless.
At this moment, the clan members and Li Er's inner thoughts were reflected.
[The clan members are all shameless, this emperor is no ordinary dog.
If they don't borrow food, it will be said that this group of clan lords have no regard for the life and death of all the people.
It's a cancer of the Tang Dynasty. If you borrow food, are you thinking about competing with the court for reputation?
Isn’t this called horizontal death and vertical death?]
[Li Er said that he just smiled and said nothing.
In fact, in addition to these methods, there is another method.
That is, they quietly donated the food to the local government, and then the local government handed over all the food to the people of the world.
Moreover, when donating food, they only told the people that the food was donated by the government, and did not mention them as a group of nobles.
Just ask your clan members to be good people behind the scenes.
A good person on the surface must have a court to shoulder his responsibility.】
[Bah, shameless, you have done all the good things in court.
In the end, people like them will still have to bear the eternal infamy.
Think about it, why is this person’s face so big?]
After passing through one city after another, on the official road, they saw another vehicle escorting grain.
This time, the vehicle escorting the food was different from the previous one.
I didn't stand up to ask before, but this time I just stood up and asked him.
Ask them about the identities of these food transporters and where they want to transport the food.
When he heard that the food being transported was to be sent to various disaster-stricken areas, the master took a deep breath.
Fortunately, this time, it was not sent to the front line to give to the soldiers fighting on the battlefield.
They have traveled such a long way, and they don't know what the people are like now.
I pray in my heart that these foods can be arranged as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the people of the Tang Dynasty may really not be able to bear it anymore.
Moving very quickly, the group finally arrived at Chang'an City.
Standing outside Chang'an City, Confucius looked up at this majestic ancient city.
People around him were entering and leaving the gate of Chang'an City one after another.
The guards of Chang'an City on the left and right, wearing armor and holding weapons, stood quietly on guard.
Not long after, several teams were patrolling inside and outside Chang'an City.
This drought did not have much impact on the city of Chang'an.
I saw the master muttering directly in his heart.
This foolish king.
"Master, should we go directly to the city?"
"Entering the city, find an inn to settle down first!"
"It's Master."
When these people arrived in Chang'an City and stayed at an inn, the news reached Li Er's ears.
Li Erleng snorted, still feeling a little angry and impatient in his heart.
As an emperor, which one of these things I do is not for the people of the world?
In the end, the Kong family actually said it was so unbearable.
Then they sent people to keep an eye on them and report anything immediately.
After they arrived in Chang'an City and checked into the inn, a letter was delivered to the Imperial College.
Members of the Kong family who worked in the Imperial College received the letter and came to the inn in the afternoon and met them.
According to the relationship, several members of the Kong family who work in Chang'an City also have to call Kong Xian eldest brother.
"I've met my brother."
"In your hearts, do you still have this big brother of yours?"
Forehead.
The Kong family is not like other families in that it has strict hierarchies: internal clan and external clan.
But the relationship between the upper and lower relatives is quite clear.
After hearing what the eldest brother said, they knew that the eldest brother came here with resentment.
When the eldest brother and his party were about to arrive at Chang'an City, His Majesty had already told them in detail what had happened along the way.
Everyone also understood that after the eldest brother came to Chang'an City, no one, high or low, would be afraid of this little bad temper.
"Brother, you have come all the way, traveling and traveling, and this inn may not be able to take care of you.
If you don't follow me to the Imperial College, we haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time.
Are the other people in the family okay? Let's go to the Imperial College and have a good chat first?"
"Hmph, you mean this inn is not good and only the Imperial College is the best?
After entering Chang'an City, paying homage to the court, and going to the Imperial College, when did I, a member of the Kong family, become so arrogant?"
When everyone heard this, the old face couldn't help but tremble.
Sure enough, when this big brother's bad temper comes up, he will lash out at anyone he catches.
Several people could only lower their heads, wait quietly for him to finish venting, and smiled awkwardly!
"Brother, we didn't mean that. We just thought that we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and we just wanted to get together.
If brother likes it, we will stay at the inn, and the shopkeeper will prepare some more food, and we will go get the drinks.
We want to help our eldest brother wash away his troubles!"
"It's Master."
"After coming to Chang'an City and becoming a master, does this status become different?
I need to prepare more food and drinks. Don’t you know about the disaster in Shandong?
Don’t you know that the people of the Tang Dynasty were affected by the disaster?
You just want to prepare more drinks and meals to welcome me every day. Why don't you care about the people of Shandong?
Have you forgotten where you were born?"
There was still such a rebuke, and several people could only smile awkwardly again.
The eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother. Just because he is older than you and is your brother, you can only let him vent his anger and no one dares to talk back.
"Brother, we also know about what you are talking about.
We also donated our own money, hoping to do our best for the people of the world.
However, the Holy One has already begun to arrange manpower and make overall plans.
We have already begun arranging manpower to help our people all over the world.
So brother, don't worry.
Although the people were affected by the disaster, it was only for a short time.
After waiting for a while, everything will naturally go smoothly. Let's eat first and the waiter will serve."
It's okay not to mention the old emperor, but when he mentioned the old emperor, Confucius' temper rose again.
"This foolish king knows how to fight every day. For the sake of his own ambition, he does not care about the life and death of the people in the world."
"Ah, please be careful, brother, this is in Chang'an City!"
"What happened to Chang'an City? We scholars should speak with facts.
Is it possible that this is because this is Chang'an, this is the emperor's feet, and the emperor has made mistakes, and people of our generation can't say anything about it?
This time I said it, I see Li Er, what can he do to me?
If he really has the ability, let him come over.
I didn't know that after I entered Chang'an City, he had already sent people to monitor this inn?
This is what I said to this foolish king. If he has the ability, he will send people to throw me into the prison and behead me in public.
