I heard that the ill Governor Wu of Lizhou was the samurai Wok, and he was most likely the biological father of the empress in history.
I wonder what Wu Meiniang, who is likely to become the first strong woman in history if normal history develops, will look like when she is young?
This made Fang Yiai full of different expectations for her trip to Lizhou.
At the very least, regardless of whether Emperor Zetian will appear in the future, Fang Yiai does not hope that this little pink flower will be overtaken by Li Shimin, an old man.
Because Samurai Wok was tired and sick, in order to show the royal concern, Li Shimin specially arranged for Dr. Huang to accompany him. One was to treat Samurai Wok, and the other was to ensure the health of the prince.
It was originally planned to arrange for two imperial doctors, but since Fang Yiai was accompanying him, one was reduced to save money.
Li Shimin had once again caught him in love. Fang Yiai thought depressedly.
While rushing along the way, in addition to talking about medical theory with Imperial Physician Huang, I spent most of my time with Li Chengqian, listening to Wei Zheng's introduction to Lizhou's situation and customs, as well as things to pay attention to after going to Lizhou.
The most focused introduction was on past examples of flood relief, guiding Li Chengqian to analyze the pros and cons of the examples, as well as issues that require special attention.
After hurriedly driving for ten days, Wei Zheng, Imperial Physician Huang, and several entourages from the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel who followed felt very uncomfortable. Fortunately, they finally arrived at the border of Lizhou.
When we arrived at Lizhou, the road became muddy and difficult to navigate as we drove toward the city. In the end, the carriage was basically struggling to move, sinking at every turn.
Seeing that this was not an option, everyone discussed and asked Li Chengqian and Fang Yiai, who were good at riding horses, to ride to Lizhou City first, so as not to delay the disaster relief work.
The accompanying guards were also divided into two groups on the left. One group escorted Li Chengqian and others first. The other group helped Wei Zheng and others move slowly.
The reason why Wei Zheng did not ask to join the vanguard was not because he was not good at riding horses or anything else, but because the emperor wanted to test Li Chengqian this time, so he did not join the vanguard.
If the prince handles the matter completely well, not only will the prince gain credit, but he will also gain face in front of the emperor, making the emperor more satisfied with the prince.
On the other hand, even if there were loopholes in the prince's handling in advance, he, Wei Zheng, followed behind to check for any gaps.
If you can correct and remedy the situation at that time, if you can reveal the key points to the prince one by one, it will definitely be more memorable to His Highness, and it will more fully achieve the emperor's intention of training the prince.
Because of the existence of the little butterfly Fang Yiai, Li Shimin's attitude and concern for Li Chengqian are much better than in history, so that Li Chengqian is not still immersed in his own lonely world as he was in history.
On the contrary, the father-son relationship with Li Shimin became more and more harmonious. Li Shimin's thoughts on Li Tai were gradually attracted.
In addition, there was Fang Yiai, a little student next to him, who was studying his homework. Li Chengqian didn't want to lose to Fang Yiai, who was younger than him, so he studied very seriously and from time to time.
He took the initiative to ask a few people for advice on his doubts, and received praise from several teachers. This not only made Li Shimin look good, but also gave Li Chengqian a good rating. More importantly, he also received more dedicated teachings from several teachers.
.
Yes, to teach a future good emperor under his own hands, if you tell me this, it will be an honor for several lifetimes!
There was also Changsun Wuji beside him, who from time to time taught Li Chengqian how to deal with the world and how to deal with things. With Li Chengqian's sincerity and transparency, he naturally no longer showed joy and anger on his face like before, and slowly began to become more diplomatic.
Therefore, Li Chengqian understood what Wei Zheng meant, and naturally he would no longer ask Wei Zheng to accompany him. Instead, he asked everyone to take good care of Wei Zheng, and he also solemnly entrusted Wei Zheng's health to the accompanying Dr. Huang.
He didn't take any arrogance of the prince at all, and left a good image of respecting teachers and morality.
This move made Wei Zheng, who had always had a serious face, look much softer. It also made the entourage feel that following such a humble prince was a worthwhile and honorable thing, and they were even more dedicated to their duties now.
Wei Zheng called Fang Yiai aside again, and gave him serious instructions to take good care of His Highness the Crown Prince. He also said that even though Fang Yiai was swallowed by mud and rocks, he also wanted to ensure that the Crown Prince was safe and sound.
Arrive at Lizhou City smoothly!
Regarding the sick Samurai Wok who has not yet been seen, Dr. Huang also told Fang Yiai not to be too pushy, but to carefully inquire about his past medical records from the doctor who usually treated him.
The local doctors asked the local doctors about the taboos in using local medicine. Moreover, if he could not get medical treatment, he would put it off until he arrived in Lizhou later, and the two of them would discuss it.
You must remember that there is no merit in this trip, but there must be no mistakes!
Because of his status as a samurai wok, although he was a merchant, he was a close friend of Emperor Li Yuan, and the two had an irreversible friendship!
Moreover, this person had previously given a lot of substantial help to the emperor on the battlefield. Otherwise, why did Pei Ji, who also had a close relationship with the emperor, pack up and go home, while his warrior wok was still able to delegate real power?
Seven or eight days later, struggling in the mud, Li Chengqian, Fang Yiai and his party arrived at the post station ten miles outside Lizhou City.
Along the way, we visited several counties that were said to be severely affected by the disaster, and saw the countless people struggling to survive in the muddy water. The group of people felt a lot in their hearts.
Seeing the scene that was even more miserable than the snowstorm in the capital that year, Li Chengqian and Fang Yiai looked at each other and fell silent.
Seeing that some people obviously could be saved, but died because of the delay in rescue, Fang Yiai missed the kind of friendly scene in later generations where "one party is in trouble and all parties support it". Although there are many people who have the intention of showing off, but
More people are actually helping others!
Thinking of the military rescue of disaster areas in later generations, Fang Yiai couldn't help but suggest to Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, can you ask the governor of Lizhou to send some of the Lizhou soldiers to help local rescue? Most of the Lizhou soldiers are from Lizhou. If they can be mobilized to participate in disaster relief,
, I think the effect is better. After all, among these people, there may be their own family members!"
"No one is allowed to mobilize the army without the military order of the father." Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he frowned and said hesitantly.
"Filial piety comes first, and people's hearts are full of flesh. If the family is hit by a disaster, the safety of parents, brothers, sisters, and even wives and children is uncertain, how can people in the military camp practice with peace of mind? I'm afraid there are many slackers, and there should be deserters. If so,
If the disaster is more serious, it is not impossible to break up the camp!" Fang Yiai said thoughtfully.
"Moreover, the regulation prohibiting the mobilization of troops without authorization refers to cross-border mobilization. If the local troops are only mobilized within the boundaries of Lizhou, it is not subject to this restriction!" Fang Yiai said.
"In addition, if Lizhou soldiers are allowed to participate in disaster relief," Fang Yiai pointed to the corpses dug out of the mud in the distance, "Maybe people like that girl can still save their lives!"
"Furthermore, if we mobilize troops for rescue, not only will we save more lives, but we can also stabilize the morale of the troops! Let the Lizhou soldiers know that the imperial court has been thinking about the floods in Lizhou and is concerned about the safety of the people here! Thirdly,
Even though Lizhou soldiers participated in the rescue in the end, many soldiers' families still lost their lives, but they have tried their best for their families, and they no longer have self-blame and resentment, and can instead serve the court better!"
"As for the fourth one, I haven't thought of it yet." After saying that, Fang Yiai looked at Li Chengqian seriously.
After carefully considering the feasibility of Fang Yiai's words, Li Chengqian felt that this idea was a good one, but the details needed to be discussed and the cooperation of the governor of Lizhou and the governor was needed.
Moreover, if Lizhou soldiers can be mobilized to participate, not only the rescue efforts will be much stronger, but also the subsequent resettlement and disaster relief, because of the presence of the army, will deter many young people who want to speculate!
More importantly, if Lizhou's deployment of troops to participate in rescue and disaster relief is successful, then this may not be impossible to adjust and form a new rescue routine, which will benefit the people everywhere who may be affected by disasters in the future!
For Li Chengqian, this may not be a major achievement!
"Let's go directly to Lizhou City!" Thinking of the many possibilities, Li Chengqian stopped checking around and went straight to Lizhou City.
After resting all night at a post station outside Lizhou City, Li Chengqian did not alert the local officials and ordered the guards to enter the city slowly. He and Fang Yiai took two people with them each and took the lead in entering Lizhou City incognito.
It's rare that it didn't rain in Lizhou these two days, and the quaint streets didn't look dull or cold.
While riding horseback towards Samurai Wok's official residence, at the intersection, Fang Yiai's riding Zhui Feng suddenly became manic due to some unknown stimulus, and almost hit a girl who was turning towards him at the intersection!
Because Li Chengqian and Fang Yiai were riding in front, they saw that Fang Yiai's horse was about to hit the bright-eyed little girl.
Li Chengqian shouted "Be careful!" and without thinking, he jumped from his horse and rolled around on the ground several times with the woman in his arms. At least no one was hurt by Fang Yiai's horse.
The people following behind were all startled. Those who shouted "Master, Master" quickly got off their horses and went to check Li Chengqian, who was holding the girl on the ground, and Fang Yiai, who had just restrained Zhui Feng.
After comforting Zhui Feng, he glanced at Li Chengqian who was dazedly kissing the girl accidentally. Knowing that both Li Chengqian and the girl should be fine, Fang Yiai breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Yiai dismounted and checked behind Zhui Feng. Fang Yiai didn't believe that Zhui Feng would go crazy for no reason. Sure enough, he found three fine needles on the horse's butt!
