Chapter 166: Awakening
Feng Zhige didn't know if the crown princess believed what she said, but since she had already said it, she didn't care whether the crown princess believed it or not.
However, thinking that it is an eventful time now, I am afraid that the crown princess will not be able to have the leisure and leisure she has now for a while to have a headache for the prince's emotional belonging, so before leaving, Feng Zhige still gave the princess some tips.
"Presumably the crown princess also knows that the current Dawu Dynasty is not peaceful, instead of spending time on these inconsequential things, the crown princess might as well make more preparations for other things, so as to leave herself a way back."
After saying these meaningful words, Feng Zhige said goodbye to the crown princess Chen and left.
Entering the palace to see the crown princess was just a small episode for Feng Zhige, and she didn't take it seriously after returning to the Anguo Mansion.
Her attention then focused on a series of major events caused by the official grain case.
Although Zhao Tiannan has been working hard for more than 20 years since the founding of the Dawu Dynasty, he has never had the experience of dealing with the turmoil caused by famine as he does now in the past 20 years.
So although Zhao Tiannan has actively responded to the incident after the incident, his responses are inevitably not so effective in dealing with things.
Although the streamlining of the palace was used as an introduction, the hundred officials in the court and the families behind them took out a lot of silver and food, but these silver and grain can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for quelling the famine. Even in the entire Dawu Dynasty, it did not have a big impact.
When Zhao Tiannan was thinking hard about countermeasures, the people who were suffering no longer had the patience to continue waiting. Their lives could not be waited any longer.
Although hunger is a very common word, and it doesn't seem to have much power, when hunger is extreme, it often makes people do things that they would never dare to do.
Take these ordinary people who suffer from famine, they are usually the most docile, and they are full of reverence for the government and the court, but they are extremely hungry. They naturally lost their minds, what kind of government and court. All the awe has been left behind by them, and as long as they can fill their stomachs, they dare to do anything.
The incident first occurred somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, which was most affected by the famine.
The autumn harvest yielded less than 30 percent of the grain of previous years, and only a small part of this grain really belonged to the people who farmed the land. In this case, even the people who farm the land can't fill their stomachs, let alone those who live by buying grain, plus the price of grain has risen to a level that usually seems incredible, so not long after the autumn harvest, the ordinary people in Jiangnan and other places are already facing the situation of having no rice to cook.
At the beginning, it was okay, although there was panic in my heart, but relying on the food stored at home and some supplementary food, although I could not say that I was full of food. But I don't have to worry about starvation.
However, as time passed, the imperial court has not been able to come up with a feasible solution to the famine in Jiangnan and other places, and the people who have run out of grain and cannot afford to buy food. He had to take risks against his hungry yellow-skinned and skinny body.
In the minds of the people, in this kind of year, if there is still no need to worry about the food problem, of course, it is those officials in the yamen.
So on a hot evening, a group of refugees who were so tormented by hunger that they couldn't stand it rushed into the local yamen.
Naturally, the officials in the yamen are not vegetarians. In addition, these refugees are actually starving and have no strength at all, so after the initial surprise. The refugees were effortlessly suppressed, and even in the process of suppression, there were deaths, and several refugees who were tortured by starvation died.
This incident became the fuse of subsequent events.
Subsequently, there were incidents of refugees looting yamen and local wealthy households from time to time in various places, of course, most of the time these looting ended in the failure of the refugees, but occasionally they succeeded in grabbing something to eat, but they began to enjoy it from then on.
The turmoil and chaos of the people throughout the Dawu Dynasty began to lift the curtain.
This turmoil and turmoil began with the simple psychology of the hungry people who wanted to eat a full meal, and there was nothing wrong with this, but under the crisis of survival, everyone has the instinct to survive, and it is not unheard of that it has never happened, let alone just snatched it.
At the beginning, the people who had the behavior of looting were very simple-minded, but after the looting spread to the entire Dawu Dynasty, it has to be said that among the people, there are not people who have long-term vision and leadership skills, so one after another, people in various places spontaneously pulled up three or five hundred people, on the grounds of leading everyone to eat enough, and officially unveiled the rod.
It seems that only overnight, the Dawu Dynasty, which was originally a country and a peaceful country, fell into the same turmoil as in the last years of the previous dynasty.
When the news from all over the world reached Zhao Tiannan's hands, he was so angry that he almost destroyed the entire imperial study.
From the current situation, Zhao Tiannan seems to have seen his gradual rise in the turbulent times of the previous dynasty.
He himself went from a poor boy to the supreme throne step by step, and naturally he was extremely jealous of others following his example.
Zhao Tiannan's throne was not inherited from the hands of his elders, but he fought out of blood and fire for more than ten years, he has never been a king who can only compromise and forbear, but he has not used swords for more than 20 years, and today's people, have they forgotten how the Dawu Dynasty was established?
In Zhao Tiannan's eyes, these people who vainly tried to subvert his country could not be excessively punished no matter how much they were punished.
Therefore, treating these people who want to take advantage of the chaos to re-follow the path of his original conquest, Zhao Tiannan has never thought of being soft-hearted.
Under a holy decree, the garrisons of the various guards moved in unison, and in just a few days, they were able to forcefully suppress the so-called "insurrectionary" army, which was composed of ordinary people and had not yet formed a scale.
Although the turmoil and chaos were suppressed temporarily, Zhao Tiannan was not much easier because of this.
At this time, he can use the military power in his hands to suppress the people. But if the root cause of the famine cannot be solved, the previous scene will inevitably happen again and again, and after many times, his bloody repression will even arouse public anger. When the time comes, what should he do to solve it?
"Damn it!" Receiving the news that the people had been suppressed, Zhao Tiannan slammed the imperial case in front of him with a pale face.
Food, everything needs food!
Food is needed to solve the famine, and food is needed to quell the people's turmoil and turmoil, and even the army in his hands needs food to be able to afford it.
But. It's just that what the Great Wu Dynasty lacks most at this moment is food.
Jiangnan and other places were originally known as the granary of the entire Dawu Dynasty, after the autumn harvest every year. The new grain harvested in Jiangnan and other places will be shipped to various places, and now the output in Jiangnan and other places has been reduced by at least 70% due to drought, which has formed a huge loophole, enough to swallow the entire Dawu Dynasty.
Zhao Tiannan has to do it. It is to fill this loophole, of course, this is not an easy task, after all, in today's situation, silver alone is not enough, even silver may not be able to buy food at this time.
After conveying a series of his own responses, Zhao Tiannan looked at the results of the investigation that had only been sent to him today, about the Marquis of Weiyuan and Feng Zhige's people when they were in Huzhou.
As an emperor, Zhao Tiannan has something in his hands that ordinary people can't imagine at all, and he wants to investigate someone. Even if it's been a long time, you can definitely find out.
Feng Lin accidentally broke into Luo Shui Xuan after getting drunk, and then Mu Qingwan became pregnant. The phoenix song that was born fell into a deep sleep since she was born, until eight years later, when she suddenly woke up under the auspicious omen of ten thousand lotuses.
"Auspicious omen......" Zhao Tiannan muttered.
He still remembers that after the special scene of Huzhou blooming with thousands of lotuses, because he felt that this scene should be auspicious, the magistrate of Huzhou also specially reported it. So until now, Zhao Tiannan has left an impression on this matter.
But......
The man who had been sleeping for eight years suddenly woke up in this auspicious omen. And after waking up, not only is it not as ignorant as a baby who has never been exposed to the world, but it is as early as being enlightened by gods and Buddhas, which is really incomprehensible.
Zhao Tiannan paused, and continued to look down.
slapped the much-loved Feng Ming Dance, and made Zhao Youjun suffer dumb losses in her hands again and again, and made her first public appearance in front of Huzhou magnates, not only was not calculated by Zhao Youjun's mother and daughter, but also made Zhao Youjun and Mrs. Yang, who joined forces to calculate her, suffer a big dumb loss, and even made Lian Qing, who had the intention to push her into the water, be taken advantage of by Yang Yunhao and lose her reputation.
Then, he cleaned up several royal dead soldiers around Zhao Youjun, took the housekeeping right from Zhao Youjun, and in order to avenge Mu Qingqing, Zhao Youjun and Feng Mingwu were imprisoned in Chengming Hall for more than half a year, and almost drove the pampered two people crazy, until the holy decree asked the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to enter Beijing, and the two were released.
The more Zhao Tiannan understands, the faster his heart beats.
On the one hand, he convinced himself in his heart that this did not mean anything, and on the other hand, he could not suppress the sudden joy and anticipation in his heart.
This Fengzhi song, is Su Su coming back?
Under the agitation of the mood, Zhao Tiannan pinched the few letterheads in his hand into a little shapeless.
This letterhead not only records Feng Zhige's various things since she was born, but even the people who have appeared around her are listed one by one.
Zhao Tiannan also had some understanding of what happened after Feng Zhige entered Beijing, so after reading this part hastily, he saw the annotations on the people around Feng Zhige.
And two of the names made Zhao Tiannan's pupils shrink when he saw it.
Han Qingyan, Li Wu.
Even though more than 20 years have passed, Zhao Tiannan can still remember these two people.
Zhao Tiannan still remembers that when he and Han Su fought in the world, there were only three women in the entire military camp, Han Su and Han Qingyan and Li Wu, who were known as pearls.
Later, they established the Dawu Dynasty, and Zhao Tiannan expressed his importance to Han Su, even if the two had not yet married, he first let Han Su enter the Kunning Palace, and let all the palace people call him the queen.
At that time, Han Qingyan and Li Wu also followed Han Su into the palace.
Later, Han Su died in the palace on the eve of the wedding, Zhao Tiannan was busy dealing with a series of turmoil caused by Han Su's death, and he had to appease the old man Han who almost completely tore his face with him due to the pain of losing his daughter, and he didn't care about Han Qingyan and Li Wu during that time, only vaguely learned that the two were taken back to Han's house.
It's just the two maids beside Han Su, how could Zhao Tiannan waste his energy on them, so he didn't pay attention to these two people after that.
If he hadn't seen the names of the two on this letterhead, Zhao Tiannan would not have thought of them.
The reason why Han Qingyan and Li Wu were called pearls in Beijing at the beginning was not only because of their superior appearance, but also because of their well-known loyalty to Han Su.
Zhao Tiannan had experienced their loyalty at the beginning, and it can be said that in their eyes, except for Han Su, the master, even if he ascended the throne later, he could not make these two people bow down.
After leaving the palace, Li Wu has been in the Han family, and Han Qingyan took over the Fengming Pavilion and Fengyi Xuan left by Han Su.
Then a few years ago, after Huzhou showed auspicious signs, the two went to Huzhou together, and then Li Wu stayed with Feng Zhige, who was only eight years old at the time, and Han Qingyan opened the fourth floor of Huzhou Fengyi Xuan for Feng Zhige, which was never allowed to enter.
As the master of the Great Wu Dynasty, it was naturally impossible for Zhao Tiannan not to know about Fengming Pavilion and Fengyi Xuan.
One was grateful to the scholars of the world, and the other was rich in money by earning a woman's money.
However, Zhao Tiannan never knew that Fengming Pavilion and Fengyi Xuan were actually the industries created by Han Su at the beginning.
He had heard Han Su say that he was bored for a while and tried his hand at small industries, but he never thought that the so-called small industry of Han Su had developed into a behemoth that even he, the emperor, did not dare to target at will in more than 20 years.
Han Qingyan and Li Wu really lived up to their original loyalty, even if they had Feng Ming Pavilion and Feng Yixuan in hand, they never dared to make any ideas over the years, and only managed them conscientiously.
How could such two people who are absolutely loyal to Hansu be impressed by an immature girl seven or eight years ago? What is so special about this girl that will allow Han Qingyan and Li Wu to transfer their loyalty from the dead Han Su to her?
When the answer to this question secretly surfaced in his heart, he seemed to be a little unable to bear the rapid heartbeat like a drumbeat, Zhao Tiannan trembled and stretched out his hand to touch his chest.
"Feng Zhi Song...... It is...... Susu ......"
However, in just a few words, Zhao Tiannan took several breaths before saying it.
He seemed to have returned to that night more than twenty years ago, Han Su faced death in his arms with a calm face, and said with a smile before he died: "I will come back." ”
And now, she is back, still in such a way that no one expected. (To be continued.) )
