After Zhao Zhen left, the Wu Family Flower Hall became a little abnormal. Ouyang Xiu said angrily: "What happened today may have a great impact on Brother Zhao Xian, after all, he is a young man!"

Cai Qi said with a smile: "Oh? Is that true? Why does it seem to me that he is much more mature than you!"

"Uncle Cai, you are making fun of me again!"

Faced with Ouyang Xiu's dissatisfaction, Ouyang Ye sneered and picked up the wine glass, but Wu Cai shook his head and said: "The young man just now has clear thoughts, speaks and acts politely, and the most important thing is that his words can always get to the point! Such people are like dragons and phoenixes.

It is indeed beyond the reach of my family."

Cai Qi nodded and said with a smile: "You are indeed a sober person!"

With Ouyang Xiu's intelligence, he instantly understood the key. Zhao Zhen just said that for his sake. He couldn't help but blush on his face and muttered to himself: "Is there really such an exquisite and clear person in the world?"

Ouyang Ye, who had been silent all this time, said: "Why not? It is the current Holy One! Only now do I feel that Brother Zisi's guess is right!"

Cai Qi asked: "Oh? How can I see Rihua?"

"The young man just now was so clear about the decree and time issued by the official, and besides being of similar age, who else could he be besides the official himself?"

Ouyang Ye's words made Wu Cai, who was accompanying the wine, tremble, and the wine glass in his hand clinked on the plate, "It's actually an official family! I just had wine with an official family?!"

In Wu Cai's guess, Zhao Zhen should be a descendant of the clan, but he never expected that he himself was an official of the Song Dynasty! He couldn't help but be excited, and when he recalled what he had just said, he suddenly became frightened.

Ouyang Xiu on the side was sitting there motionless. He had been frightened by the shocking news. Was he just calling the official family brothers?

She also made a grand ambition in front of him to take the high school imperial examination next year!

Thinking about all this, I feel like I am just talking nonsense. The shortcomings of parallel prose in the imperial examination just listed have left an arrogant impression on the officials!

Seeing Ouyang Xiu's appearance, Cai Qi smiled and said, "Look at your panic. Didn't you realize that what you just said was prompted by an official? He might still be testing you!"

"Then the official is satisfied with my answer?"

"I don't know. How can we guess the official's thoughts?"

After receiving Cai Qi's explanation, Ouyang Xiu also smiled and said, "I can't control much if the official family doesn't like it. I just know that I just said what I wanted to say, which can be regarded as letting go of the depression in my chest."

Ouyang Ye nodded and said, "That's good!"

Wu Cai saw that the atmosphere was much better, so he said to Ouyang Xiudao: "Next year is the year of the imperial examination, I hope my nephew will be named on the gold list!"

Cai Qi stroked his beard and smiled teasingly at Ouyang Xiudao: "You still need to study hard to get the title on the gold list, but it is a sure thing that you will get the bride in the wedding room! Your boy, He Dehe, actually asked the official to help you matchmaker! This needs to be spread, and

Who dares to marry this young lady from the Wu family?!"

When mentioning this matter, Ouyang Xiu's face instantly turned red: "Uncle Cai is making fun of me again!"

Wu Cai, who reacted on the side, was extremely regretful at this time. No wonder he just asked his daughter if she could be a concubine! Of course the emperor's woman is a concubine! If I had known that this young man would be the current emperor, let alone a concubine, he would just be a constant companion.

The maid next to you can also do it...

Wu Cai felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought that he had just passed by the emperor's relatives. What's more, if his daughter married the emperor, he would be the emperor's father-in-law, and he would be able to get the title of father-in-law. This would not only be a dump.

He lost his status as a merchant and joined the ranks of his relatives.

But Wu Cai, who has been in the shopping mall for many years, knows that if you lose it, you will never have it again. Since he made a two-year agreement with the Ouyang family in front of the official family, he must fulfill it, not to mention that the young man Ouyang Xiu got the official

With the family's favor, your future prospects will definitely be limitless, and it is not impossible to become a general and prime minister.

He comforted himself with a sour heart: "Compared to living in the palace, it is better for my daughter to marry a boy from the Ouyang family!" Thinking of this, Wu Cai finally felt more balanced in his heart, and he became even more enthusiastic towards Ouyang Xiu.

In Kangpingfang outside Wu's house, several fast horses galloped past. Zhao Zhen kept waving the whip in his hand, which made Peng Qi worried for fear that he would fall off the horse.

Little did he know that Zhao Zhen was angry at this time. On the way to Gongxian, he ordered the neighboring state capitals to send food to Dengzhou and Ruzhou. In his opinion, it should be able to alleviate the urgent need and wait for the imperial court's rescue.

What they fear most is that people leave their hometowns and go to the capital!

Now that it's better, the victims didn't go to Tokyo. They all came to Xijing. Why? They weren't coming for me, the emperor of the Song Dynasty!

Zhao Zhen was not worried about civil unrest, but worried that the victims would suffer too much loss on the road. Compared with defending the city for help, the loss on the road was even more shocking!

How could the victims not know this simple truth, but they still come to Xijing in groups? This can only explain two problems, either the food from the neighboring prefectures did not arrive on time, or the food in Dengzhou and Ruzhou

The officials had no choice but to let the victims leave to find a way to survive.

No matter what it is, Zhao Zhen can't bear it.

After thinking for a while while riding on the horse, Zhao Zhen suddenly pulled the reins, and the strong inertia almost threw him out. Peng Qi looked aside and broke into a cold sweat: "What happened to the official family?"

"I'm not going back to the palace!"

"No...not going back to the palace?!" Peng Qi was frightened by Zhao Zhen's words. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and asked fearfully: "Then where are we going?"

"Get out of the city! I want to see how many victims there are and what their condition is like! If you keep nagging me, I'll go alone!"

Peng Qi waved helplessly to the guards, "If the official wants to leave the city, Peng Qi won't stop him, and he can't stop him. Can he ask all the brothers from the Guards Department to follow him?"

Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement. Peng Qi's words are irreproachable. It is not safe to go out of the city at night. You must not think that you are possessed by a real dragon at this time. A young man will not be able to tell who you are in the middle of the night.

Peng Qi took Zhao Zhen and slowly wandered towards the city gate, waiting for the guards from the Personal Guard Department to arrive. From time to time, he secretly used his eyes to spy on Zhao Zhen on horseback. It seemed that the official family was angry today.

I don’t know what those people in Wu Cai’s family said, and why the officials were so angry.

The gates of an important city like Luoyang City cannot be opened casually. When the guards guarding the gates saw the official's handwriting, they immediately opened the door. In the Song Dynasty, the official's will was the highest law, and could even be said to be above the law.

Is it a joke that the emperor's exports will be made into a constitution?

After leaving the city, Zhao Zhen was protected by his personal guards and rushed towards Pengpo Town. According to Wu Cai, the victims were waiting to arrive there tonight, but Zhao Zhen and others could not walk as soon as they arrived at Longmen Town.

The road to the official road was densely packed with victims of the disaster, and even the horses had nowhere to stay.

Almost all of them were sallow and thin, and there were many children and women among them. In early spring, the victims had few clothes to keep out the cold. A woman was lying on the roadside, drinking cold water, and did not stop until she was about to vomit.

I hope the baby in my arms can drink some milk.

There are almost no old people among these victims, they are all young and strong laborers.

The children tightened the waistbands of their pants in the hope that this would reduce the feeling of hunger when they were alone, and even put their legs up on a tree to relieve the feeling of being alone.

When the victims saw a group of people on horseback approaching, they immediately surrounded them, knelt on the ground and held out the crying baby: "Well done, sir, take this child away! I don't want anything, just give him food to eat!"

Seeing this hell-like miserable situation in the world, not to mention a lofty emperor like Zhao Zhen, even trained bodyguards like Peng Qi couldn't help but have red circles in their eyes.

It was really miserable. The trees on the road were all bare, and all the wild vegetables and weeds on both sides had been pulled out and eaten up.

At this time, even grass roots are living food.

Zhao Zhen hated that he didn't bring anything with him when he left the city, and that he had everything with him that was most worthless to the victims in front of him.

"Which of you has food? Keep them all! Peng Qi, take my private seal and go to the Changping warehouse in Xijing to transport grain! Transport the grain directly to Longmen Town! Hurry!"

Peng Qi took the seal thrown by Zhao Zhen, clasped his fists on his horse and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'll go right away!" Before leaving, he didn't forget to whisper to Li Jiu: "Protect the official family!"
