Yan Gong Changge

022. Yu Sang Meets Zhaohua for the First Time


To outsiders, it seems that King Shang dared not to take His Majesty's will into his heart, and he didn't look anxious at all. In fact, it was because he was not in a hurry, it was because he couldn't bear it.

The bones outside the city are frozen to death, and the wine and meat inside the city stinks.He couldn't bear to read every day when he received the grain requisition report. It was everywhere where the people refused to pay grain, where the soldiers forced the people to rebel, and bandits were rampant.

So Zhaohua made a bold decision to stop collecting grain.

Ziyan was originally a chauffeur in Prince Shang's Mansion, and he also heard that Prince Shang's Mansion recruited servants to make a living. Zhaohua knew that he was not someone who was beyond Ming, so he always took him with him.Recently, Ziyan was worried about his highness every day because of the food collection, but his highness actually ordered to stop the grain collection. This... this is the crime of beheading.

"Your Highness, now that you don't let them collect food, how can His Majesty explain it?"

Ziyan was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he had served His Royal Highness Shang Wang for half a year. He also understood the temperament of this Highness, who was soft-hearted and kind, and he didn't want to see the people suffer, but it was His Highness himself who suffered the most.

However, Zhaohua made up his mind, the people had no food left, even if they were forced to expropriate, no matter how many people were killed, it would have little effect, so why bother to embarrass the people.

The original intention of collecting grain is nothing more than filling the national treasury. It is not only filling the national treasury, but it is not the only way to go.

"Your Highness, is there any other way?"

Zhaohua smiled lightly: "What? Are you scared?"

Ziyan was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a stern look: "Ziyan is not afraid, Ziyan is worthless for His Highness."

Zhaohua was a little puzzled, so he listened to Ziyan again: "Your Majesty limits you to three months. If you fail to pay the food by then, His Highness will definitely suffer. You are willing to suffer for the sake of the people, but in the end you will get nothing. Who can remember your kindness?"

Zhaohua was a little surprised, unexpectedly, Ziyan was devoted to him, and he said, "I am in this situation, it is rare that you are willing to follow me, I have other plans for food collection, don't worry, let's go first Do something outside the city."

How dare he not do what Yuan Yun told him not to do it immediately.

The two were walking towards the gate of the city, and a bullock cart happened to pass by, and the person sitting in the cart was the county magistrate of Ruxiu, who hadn't left the mansion for nearly a month. He was stunned when he saw His Highness Shang Wang outside the car through the shaky curtain.

I haven't seen him for half a year. The little boy who had a quick glance outside the palace at the beginning seems to be a different person. It has only been half a year and he no longer has the same childishness as before. The only thing that remains the same is that he is still as dazzling.

The frame gradually drifted away, but it took a long time for Ruxiu to come back to her senses, and when she touched her cheek, it was as warm as a touch.

"Girl, the front seems to be people from the Grand Master's Mansion." Jie's voice sounded from outside the car, the frame stopped, Jie gently raised the curtain, Ru Xiu took a look, and saw a huge group of people blocking the way.

"It's the girl from the Grand Master's Mansion giving porridge in front, we can't make it through." Jie helped Ruxiu out of the car, but Ruxiu didn't care, and said: "Prayer is supposed to be pious, we just go up on foot."

Jie curled her lips, dissatisfied, and said: "These refugees outside the city did not come here because of the government's food collection. The Grand Master asked His Majesty to handle this matter, and now the girl from the Grand Master's Mansion is giving alms outside the city. What is it? A slap in the face for a sweet date?"

"Shut up!" Ru Xiu scolded coldly: "When is it your turn to talk about the Grand Master's Mansion? Even Your Majesty wants to sell the Grand Master's Mansion's face, what are you!"

Jie was most afraid that her daughter would be angry, so she kept quiet and didn't dare to make a sound. Fortunately, no one else could hear her, so Ruxiu glared at her and walked forward.

Yusang had been giving alms outside the city for a day or two. The refugees heard that the girl from the Grand Master’s Mansion was so kind, and more and more people came. The roads outside the city were full of refugees. He walked up to Yusang.

From a distance, Yu Sang saw the chariot frame of Prince Ding's mansion approaching, and saw the peerless face of the woman who came, and she knew who it was without guessing, so she handed the long spoon in her hand to the maidservant behind her.

"I've met the county magistrate." Yu Sang bowed gracefully.

Ruxiu hurriedly helped her up, and said with a faint smile, "A mere county magistrate has a false name, how dare you bother the girl to see him, please get up quickly."

Yu Sang was also generous, she got up slowly and saw the ox cart not far behind Ruxiu, and asked, "Is the county lord going up the mountain? I'll let them make way for the county lord."

Ruxiu waved her hand, "It's okay, I was going up the mountain to pray, so it's better to be devout."

At this time, the bell in the temple on the mountain rang, and Ruxiu smiled coincidentally: "The girl is giving alms outside the temple, and the Buddha will definitely remember this merit."

Yu Sang was taken aback, turned around and looked at the refugees with dark eyes, shook her head and said softly, "I just can't bear it."

Yu Sang turned around, and before she could speak again, her eyes were fixed on the young man in white clothes and jade crown not far away, "This is..."

She opened her lips and whispered, Ru Xiu followed her gaze and was also taken aback, "His Royal Highness, why is he here?"

"Shang Wang?" Yu Sang murmured softly, for some reason, seeing the distant figure approaching step by step, her heart beat so fast.

As Zhaohua approached, Ruxiu and Yusang greeted each other one by one. Zhaohua was always polite to everyone, so he returned the courtesy one by one: "Master Ru is polite, and Miss Yusang is polite."

Yu Sang frowned, and asked, "Your Highness recognizes Yu Sang?"

"Girls from Grand Master's Mansion are serving porridge outside the city, who in Ye City doesn't know?"

Yu Sang's face turned red. She could not bear the suffering of the refugees by giving porridge, but at this moment, she was extremely grateful for her kind deed.

Zhaohua didn't pay attention to other things, and only focused on those refugees. Seeing the people in the Grand Master's Mansion serving porridge in an orderly manner, there was a smile on his brows, and he solemnly saluted Yusang: "Girl is kind, Zhaohua is on behalf of the people. Thanks."

Yu Sang hurriedly bowed her knees and returned the salute, "Your Highness is serious, Yu Sang just did what she should do, and she really can't be worthy of His Highness's thank you."

Zhaohua smiled comfortably and didn't say anything more, but this heart-warming smile made the two girls remember it in their hearts.

Some people are like this, with just one glance, they already know that the front line is set.

Jie stood behind Ruxiu, and said softly: "Girl, it's getting late, you have to go down the mountain before sunset."

Ruxiu nodded, facing Zhaohua and Yusang, slightly bent her knees, her eyebrows and eyes curved, "Because there is something important, Ruxiu took a step ahead."

After all Ruxiu left on foot, Zhaohua looked at her back and frowned.

"Is your Highness in a hurry to leave the city? Yu Sang asks them to get out of the way first."

Zhaohua withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to stop, and said, "No, I came here specially to find Miss Yusang."

"Looking for me?" Yu Sang's heart beat faster and faster, and she felt uncomfortable when she was face to face with Zhaohua, but she was looking forward to saying a few more words. She had never felt this way before.

Zhaohua took a silk pouch from Ziyan, and put it in front of Yusang with both hands, "I was here half a month ago, and the girl kindly helped her. I came here today to pay back the money. Thank you for your help."

Half a month ago?Yu Sang was taken aback, remembering the woman in white who was surrounded by refugees.

"Your Highness and her..." Yu Sang paused for a moment, then smiled softly: "It's only ten taels of silver, and I'd like to trouble Your Highness to deliver it in person."

Yes, it was only ten taels of silver, but Muyun asked him to hand it over to the grand master's daughter in person. Only then did Zhaohua understand Muyun's intentions, but he understood that she was doing everything for herself, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

However, this grand master's daughter is completely different from the grand master. She is kind-hearted and compassionate, and she is a person worth making friends with. Zhaohua turned around and said to Ziyan: "From tomorrow, Shang Wangfu will give 20 taels of silver to Yu Sang every day." Girl, use it to help the refugees."

Yu Sang was overjoyed, and quickly thanked the refugees.

These days, Yusang has also heard the rumors outside that there is no progress in the requisition of grain, and His Royal Highness Shang ordered to stop the grain requisition. She had never seen him before and thought it was a good thing for the people, but now she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. He became worried.

"I heard that His Majesty stopped collecting food, what if His Majesty blames it?"

Zhaohua didn't expect her to ask this question, but since he was the person Mu Yun wanted him to befriend, he replied seriously: "I will enter the palace later and ask His Majesty to take back the request for grain. A county lord has done something there, girl, don't worry, Zhaohua will do his best to protect the people."

Yu Sang forced a smile: "Of course, Yu Sang can't bear the suffering of the common people."

After returning to the mansion, Yu Sang sat alone in the garden, and Jane brought the cakes. Seeing her girl returning home, she was in a daze, and said with a smile, "What is the girl thinking? Are you thinking about His Royal Highness Shang Wang?"

Yu Sang's face turned red, and she reached out to hit the girl, cursing: "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't think about anything!"

Jian Su knew her lady's good temper, so she wouldn't really hit her, so she put the cakes on the stone table, stood by her side and said: "His Royal Highness is like Qionglin Yushu, all the girls in Yecheng want to marry Entering the Shang Palace."

"Really?" Yu Sang asked doubtfully, she seldom left the house, so she never knew.

"Of course, especially after the calligraphy of His Highness King Shang was copied by scholars, the girls in Yecheng became even more crazy."

Yu Sang rested her chin with one hand, fiddled with the cakes on the table with the other hand, and sighed, "Who told me to open up to the folk customs?"

I have always been like this in the folk customs. When the first emperor and the first empress were alive, they still restrained them. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the folk customs became more popular. Girls never shy away from meeting men they like. It is a common thing to throw fruit and carts .

Jane smiled and said, "So girl, with an identity like His Royal Highness Shang Wang, the candidate for the concubine must not be from an ordinary background. In this city of Ye, if His Royal Highness Shang wants to choose a princess, the girl will be the No. 1 choice." With the current status of the Grand Master's Mansion, the daughter of the Grand Master deserves to be a queen even if she enters the palace, let alone be worthy of a prince.

Yu Sang was very happy to hear this, but she didn't understand how she could never forget someone she had only met once.Her mother passed away early, and she has no brothers or sisters. Except for her father, Jian Jian is the closest person to her, and she no longer shy away from it now, and said directly: "I just think he is too different from what I imagined, and I am just a little curious." .”

When Zhaohua was still the crown prince, she had never seen him outside the palace wall, but after the new emperor came to the throne, there were many rumors about the former prince.
