I don't want to be king

Chapter 573

Ankang City, as the political, economic, and cultural center of Daliang Kingdom, has hundreds of people who freeze to death or starve to death every year.

As for those places where the economy is poor and the transportation is inconvenient, not to mention, in a city where thousands of people don't die a year, it's God's eyes.

Lin Yi was used to being a dick in his previous life, and sometimes he would unconsciously enter the eyes of ordinary people.

As a commoner with no food, no clothing, no rebellion, isn’t that a chrysanthemum set of electric drills?
If you don't have the courage, you can always fan the wind, right?

Therefore, the more he substitutes, the stronger his sense of crisis becomes.

He even almost became a patient with persecution paranoia.

Xie Zan clasped his hands and said, "My lord, the Ankang Mansion's Allied Forces and Masi built a shelter outside the city, providing accommodation, bedding and cotton clothes are all available, and the big porridge in the pot is also non-stop all night."

Gan Mao, who was sitting next to Xie Zan, said with a bitter face, "My lord, this porridge is too thick, and the people in the city who are not short of food have come out to claim it. If this continues, the daily money and food will be too much to eat." In order to continue, I think we should think of a way."

"Is there an impostor?"

This was something Lin Yi didn't expect, "The shelter you built is seven or eight miles away from the city, and the snow is so heavy, it takes more than an hour to go back and forth. Is it worth it for a mouthful of porridge?"

Gan Mao smiled and said, "My lord, that's not just a few mouthfuls, it's a big bowl with sweet potatoes in it, some people just pick it up at night, eat half full, lie down in the shelter, and wait until the day comes Liang, I have had enough breakfast, and I still have lunch. Maybe I will stay for four or five days.

Lord, when the weather gets colder, there will definitely be more and more people. No matter how many shelters are built, no matter how many large pots of porridge are cooked, it will not be enough. "

"It's cold, there's no work, no work, no matter where you lie down."

Lin Yi once again entered the perspective of ordinary people, and immediately understood the thoughts of these people.

It's winter, and the wind is biting. Just imagine that there is such a place where you can eat and drink, and there is a warm kang where you can lie flat. A fool would not go there!

You can even drag your family and cats through the winter!
Xie Zan said with a sneer, "My lord has a kind heart, so naturally I don't know how cunning these people are."

Lin Yi sighed, "Then you must have a solution?"

Before he could speak, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, I don't care."

According to his guess, it was probably sand mixed into the porridge, as He Jixiang once told him.

However, he didn't agree with the meeting of the Virgin Mary's heart bursting.

I always feel that only a notorious corrupt official like He Shen can do such a thing!
However, in the current situation, with so many people pretending to be disaster victims and eating relief food, it would be impossible not to use this trick.

Those who want to take advantage of it will definitely not be able to bear it. Only the people who are really hungry can bear the porridge that hurts their teeth.

As for whether there will be stones or not, it is not something that can be considered now, let them survive first.

"My lord is wise."

The three said in unison.

"I am responsible for the wise, you are responsible for doing bad things."

Lin Yi said indifferently.

The faces of the three old men turned black.

Damn!

This is as shameless as the prince is!
Unfortunately, they have nothing to do.

He Jixiang lifted his cup decadently and said, "I respect the prince."

"Thank you."

Lin Yi found that he now has the physique of drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk!

How come you're still sober after drinking so much?

Not scientific!

Xie Zan said in a deep voice, "My lord, now that my lord has already spread all over the world, what do you think?"

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think,"

Lin Yi interrupted again, "I know what you want to say, I'll tell you in advance, you don't need to make three invitations and four invitations, the emperor of my Daliang Kingdom is still my father, you don't need to think about anything else."

He Jixiang knew the prince very well, and seeing that his attitude was firm and did not seem to be fake, he couldn't help but sighed, and said, "I obey."

"Okay, you guys drink slowly."

Lin Yi didn't care about his image at all, looking for people to clink glasses everywhere.

Walking up to the King of Chu, he said with a smile, "Brother Eight Emperors, I am very relieved that you can come back."

The originally noisy Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly became quiet, everyone held their breath, and a needle could be heard.

King Lin Zhan of Chu stood up and saluted respectfully, "Is there any king in the world, no matter where the ministers are, they are the courtiers of the regent king."

"Brother Eight Emperors, it's too polite of you to say that,"

Lin Yi liked to hear this very much, "We are all brothers, you don't have to see each other, just sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Regent."

The king of Chu was still standing obediently, not daring to sit down.

He also knows this brother very well!

Be careful, hold grudges, some words cannot be taken seriously!

Lin Yi looked at the prince again and said with a smile, "Brother Eight Emperors has been away from the capital for some time, and Ankang City has undergone great changes. He may not understand it well, please take care of him."

The relationship between the prince and the King of Chu is not good, but they are brothers of the same mother and compatriots no matter what!
Lin Yi must let him be the guarantor!

If the King of Chu makes any troubles, just ask him!

The prince stood up and said bitterly, "I obey the order."

"Then let's keep drinking."

In the end, Lin Yi didn't know how much he drank, but he was already shaky when he went out.

He took the lead out of the Empress Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the banquet was over.

Only now did King Xin have the opportunity to walk up to his mother Concubine Kang and knelt down and said, "The child is unfilial, and the concubine mother is worried."

Concubine Kang said with tears in her eyes, "Good boy, just come back, let's go."

There are still so many people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at this moment, it is not convenient for her to say anything more.

"Son retire."

King Xin was not a long-winded person, so he left with King Chu who was waiting for him.

King Nanling stood in the huge square, looking at the back of King Chu who was walking away, his face was so gloomy that water could drip, "In the future, I will kill this thief with my own hands to relieve the hatred in my heart."

If it weren't for King Chu, his biological mother, Concubine Zhan, would not have died by throwing herself into a well.

Mei Jingzhi looked up at the snowflakes in the sky, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember what I said, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, don't act rashly for now, and if you make any noise, the prince and I will never forgive you lightly. I miss your mother's spirit in heaven, and I don't want to see you scarring yourself all over for her."

"grandfather."

Nanling King's tears flowed down his cheeks unconsciously.

The blizzard got bigger.

Sitting in the carriage, the King of Chu raised the curtain from time to time, looked out the window curiously, and said with emotion, "Unexpectedly, if I don't come back for two years, the changes in Ankang City will be so great.

I remember that there used to be a poor area in front of it, why has it become such a big square now?
Also, the riverside used to be full of residents, but now there is no one living there? "

King Jin smiled and said, "I only came back more than ten days earlier than you. I don't know much about many things. I only heard that after the old nine took charge of the imperial court, he acted arbitrarily and said that he wanted to improve the sanitation and environment, which caused public resentment and cost a lot of money." The money is countless."

King Chu said, "Sometimes, he really messes around a bit.

But you and I are now prisoners of the ranks, so please be careful with your words. "

King Jin laughed and said, "Hey, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Do you think he will really let us go in the end? "

Chu Wang said, "He even let the third child go, let alone we, you, still don't understand him, although he is greedy for money, but he doesn't have the heart to kill.

If the third child gains power, it will be the time of my death. "

King Jin looked at King Chu in surprise and said, "You have always been on good terms with Brother Sanhuang and devoted yourself to assisting him, so why don't you trust him?"

The King of Chu pursed his lips and said, "You and Brother Sanhuang are in the same boat in Pingcheng, so you trust him?"

"Hey, you're right,"

King Jin moved the stove in his hand to his stomach, and continued, "What about you, if you really gain power, can you tolerate us brothers?"

The King of Chu smiled and said, "If it was the past, I would have told you that you and my brother have the same blessings and share the same hardships, but now, I will tell you directly that one day I will have the power in my hands and kill all the heartless dogs in the world."

King Jin and King Xin next to him were stunned at first, and then understood.

Now that the general situation is gone, the brothers no longer have the ambitions they had before, and now they are disheartened. There is no need to pretend to be open-minded, to be generous, to be kind, to be thirsty for talents, to love the people like sons, it is too tiring.

No more pretending now: I'm really a villain.

Kind of you bite me?

"Brother Eight Emperors is indeed a man of temperament,"

King Jin said with a smile, "You think the same as I do."

If he ever gains power, he won't keep any of his brothers!

For the royal children, brothers are a disaster!
Including parents!

"This king is still sitting here, you want to kill me so much?"

Xin Wang, who had not interrupted all this time, suddenly spoke up.

The King of Chu said carelessly, "Brother Wuhuang, you are not a gentleman, I don't believe that you can accommodate my brothers after you ascended the throne."

"The first person I killed was you."

King Xin said with certainty.

"You want to kill me, I understand, but why am I the first?"

The King of Chu asked in a very exaggerated tone, "For so many years, you and I have been hiding in Chuzhou and getting along day and night. I have helped you so much, and there is no credit but hard work, right?"

Xin Wangbiao said expressionlessly, "It's because I get along day and night and you know too much that I can't keep you."

"What you said is so reasonable, I can't refute it."

King Chu sighed.

King Jin sighed, "Are you so sure that Lao Jiu won't kill us?

You shouldn't have come back. "

Only he and King Nanling were the worst, they were forced to come back!

Who let the third child not live up to expectations?

Just open the door and surrender!

Xin Wang said, "The general situation is over, it is better to give it a go than to drag on and survive."

"Hey, why did you leave the city?"

King Chu suddenly said.

King Jin snorted coldly, "Do you think you won't just live in mediocrity when you return to Ankang City?"

King Chu frowned, "What do you mean?"

The king of Jin saw that the two were deflated, and said, "Our houses in the city have long been taken back to the country by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Some are sold, some are rented out, and some are used to run so-called new-style schools. They live in the house of the third child.

Only the sixth child and the twelve child did not move. "

The King of Chu gritted his teeth and said, "That's unreasonable, then where do we live?"

King Jin sighed, "Like me, we all live outside the city. We are just separated by a wall, and we will be neighbors from now on."

After speaking, the carriage stopped.

The torches and lanterns in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the soldiers and horses illuminated the street as if it were daytime.

Jiang Yi rode up to the three of them, cupped his hands and said, "Three lords, here we are."

The King of Chu looked at the narrow door and the dark shadow wall in front of him, and said in disbelief, "You let me live here?"

King Xin laughed out loud, "Since it's here, let's rest in peace."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked into the yard.

Jiang Yi turned his head to look at Zixia behind him and said, "Miss Zixia, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Don't dare."

After Zixia finished speaking, she ordered the maids and servants on both sides to send the family members of King Xin and King Chu into the mansion.

After Lin Yi returned home, he lay down straight and slept until midnight. After waking up thirsty, he gulped down two large jugs of water.

Zixia said distressedly, "My lord, let's drink less in the future."

"I'm happy today, so I drank a little more,"

Lin Yi yawned, "How did my brothers react?"

Zixia smiled and said, "Prince Xin looked as usual, but Prince Chu lost his temper."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Anyway, it's four houses. Ordinary people can't afford them for a lifetime. Besides, if I can save their lives, they can enjoy it secretly. Don't be dissatisfied."

"My lord said so,"

Zixia thought for a while and said, "The king of Chu has two concubines who are pregnant, and the servants made their own decisions. Let Chen Xilian go and have a look, there is no serious problem."

"You did the right thing."

Lin Yi gulped down a pot of water again.

Zixia hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, that Suxin girl."

"Didn't you let her settle in Guan Xiaoqi's house?
What's up with her? "

After Lin Yi returned to the capital, Guan Xiaoqi just went back to Guan Sheng's place, and the house was empty, so he directly placed Su Xin in Guan Xiaoqi's house, and sent two girls to take care of him.

Zixia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Suxin has always been well-clothed and well-fed, and the place is very far away. I heard from the girl that there are often strange noises at night. Miss Suxin has not slept well for several nights."

Lin Yi said, "Besides the barking of animals, what else can there be?"

Zixia said, "My lord, in order to pay off Uncle Guan's debt, Miss Guan sold all the animals, even the mangy dog ​​was sent to the mansion to raise."

"Guan Sheng is betting on his head."

Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Zixia continued, "Miss Guan paid off the debt for Uncle Guan, and she was afraid that he would enter the casino again, so she had no choice but to go back to live, so that Uncle Guan could be jailed."

"A few days ago, she told me that she could gamble with me, and she was very open-minded.

As a result, the gamble is really high now, and I can't sit still. "

Lin Yi decided that if he saw Guan Xiaoqi, he must tease him, because what he said was different from what he did!

Zixia said, "Where is this gambling a good thing? If you get involved, there is no turning back."

"makes sense,"

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "You have time to visit her house and send some money there."

Zixia covered her mouth and said with a smile, "My concubine is merciful, and specially took out 200 taels from her personal silver, and sent it over."

"Do you think the princess has any money?"

Lin Yi remembered what Du Yinniang had said to him again, his eyes lit up.
