"Your Highness, Great Master Qing Feng is here." At this moment, Fung's voice came from outside.
"Please come in." Chu Xuanchen personally went to welcome Daoist Qing Feng after he finished speaking.
It was all thanks to Great Master Qing Feng that he was able to detoxify the poison.
When Great Master Qing Feng walked in and saw the reborn Chu Xuanchen, he stroked his beard and smiled.
"Great Master Qing Feng is here. Please take a seat." Chu Xuanchen said and then said to Fung, "Servants, serve tea."
"Your Highness, there's no need to be so courteous. This old man came because I wanted to know if Your Highness' poison has been cured. Seeing Your Highness like this, this old man knows that Your Highness' poison has been cured. This old man can rest assured. "Daoist Qing Feng smiled.
Chu Xuanchen said, "Great Master Qing Feng is indeed perceptive. Indeed, Wang's poison has been cured by Yue'er. This time, Wang's poison was cured because of Great Master Qing Feng's method of detoxification. Wang will remember Great Master Qing Feng's kindness. Later on, Wang will send people to Qing Feng Temple to light ten more eternal lanterns. "
Daoist Qing Feng smiled and said, "Your Highness is kind-hearted. It seems that this old man can adopt a few more homeless children. This old man will thank Your Highness on their behalf. However, Your Highness, this old man doesn't want a few eternal lanterns. This old man wants no more homeless children in this world. This old man wants the people of Chu to have a roof over their heads and clothes to wear. They don't need to wander about and have nowhere to stay. "
Chu Xuanchen's pupils contracted coldly. "Great Master Qing Feng, what do you mean?"
"Your Highness has lived in the capital for a long time. This place is bustling and is very different from the outside world. Does Your Highness not know that the world is no longer peaceful? "Daoist Qing Feng said solemnly.
"Wang has heard some rumors recently. They say that Jiangnan has suffered a rare flood and the northwest has also suffered a drought. Because of these disasters, the people have lost their homes and their livelihood has withered. They don't have enough food to eat. Some people are so poor that they have to trade their children for food. Wang has been poisoned recently and hasn't been feeling well, so he hasn't had the energy to investigate these matters. Now that Grandmaster is here, please tell Wang everything you've seen and heard along the way. "
At this point, he continued, "Now that Wang's poison has been cured, he has the energy to help them. Moreover, the citizens are the Chu clan's citizens. As a member of the Chu clan, Wang can't just stand by and watch them die. Wang has to shoulder the responsibility of saving the country and the people! "Chu Xuanchen said seriously.
Daoist Qing Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He looked at him with admiration. It seemed that he had not misjudged him. His Highness The Emperor of Li was indeed different from others.
Under his indifference and arrogance was a fiery benevolence.
He also knew that he could be relied upon by the people, which was why he came all the way here to offer the method of curing the poison. At the same time, he also told him about what he had encountered on the way.
He then said, "The flood in Jiangnan this time is much more serious than in previous years. Moreover, according to this old man's estimation, when the flood season arrives in June and July, the flood will be even more severe. When this old man arrived, a lot of farmland and houses had already been submerged. The road was filled with refugees fleeing for their lives. "
"This isn't the most heart-wrenching part. The most heart-wrenching part is that the imperial court had clearly sent people to control the flood and had also distributed some relief food. In the end, all of this relief food had been embezzled by corrupt officials! The officials protected each other and embezzled the relief funds and food. The only things left in the hands of the citizens were porridge soaked with sand and rotten potatoes. "
"The people couldn't eat their fill, so they could only rely on picking wild fruits and digging up weeds to fill their stomachs. When they finished digging up the wild fruits and weeds, they would gnaw on tree bark, eat Guanyin clay, or barter for seeds. Some citizens starved to death while others drowned in the flood. The emperor didn't care about this matter. He and the imperial court officials only cared about enjoying themselves and didn't care about the citizens. Therefore, this is both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. "
