Zhu Shun only stayed at home for a few days, then rushed to the capital with people and found the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

At some point, the Zhan Mansion built a small lake, and a small sandbar stretched away until it reached the center of the lake.

on fine white sand.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong was standing in the middle of the lake and was reciting the poem aloud: "Orange Island Head." ”

"Look at the mountains red all over, the forests are dyed with ......"

When Zhu Shun walked along the cement path, the distance was relatively far, and he didn't hear what the prince Zhu Cihong was saying.

When he stood next to the carved fence by the lake, he vaguely heard the voice of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull.

Qinyuan Spring.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong has to recite the poems of the great man several times every morning, and he has never seen such a majestic, lofty artistic conception, and such a poem that hits the hearts of the people.

As soon as he read it, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Mr. Zhu Shun coming, so he could only temporarily give up reciting and walked over the small sandbar he had built.

After the beginning of winter, the weather was relatively cold, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong actually wore a thinner than Zhu Shun, saying that it was to cultivate the character of hardship and hard work.

Zhu Shun mentioned the crown prince Zhu Cihong a few times, and when he saw that he must adhere to this habit, he didn't stop him, and said calmly: "Let's go, let's go out and take you to see what it means to endure hardship." ”

When the crown prince Zhu Cihong heard that he was going to understand the people's feelings, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and said more anxiously than Zhu Shun: "Sir, then let's go quickly." ”

Zhu Shun nodded, and left Zhan Shifu with the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

Nursing home.

Nursing home alley.

This alley is named because there is a solitary, and most of the people living in it are low-income people, and the city is no better than the countryside and can grow some food for self-sufficiency.

The people of Chengkuodu have to buy everything with silver, especially the firewood for the fire, and the people in the countryside can also cut some weeds and dry them as firewood, and the people of Chengkuodu can only buy them.

Fortunately, since the industrial distribution only provided some low-cost cotton slivers to the common people, the handmade textiles of Shuntianfu have flourished, and the life of the common people in the city has gradually improved a lot.

Not only can I buy the firewood and rice that I usually use, but I can also buy some pickles sold by the merchants, and my mouth is finally no longer dull and has no taste.

Just a month ago, all the firewood salaries in the capital began to increase their prices, and all the firewood salaries that used to be sold for only a few cents of silver became one penny of silver.

Within a few days, the price of firewood rose to two dollars of silver, and the price rose higher and higher, and just a few days ago it actually rose to three dollars of silver.

How did the people in the capital know that Li Lusheng had left them two more months to live, since they knew that all the coal kilns in western Beijing had fallen into the hands of Zhu Shun or someone who had a personal relationship with him.

made a trick to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and there was no way to live for those two months, and the vicious raised the price of firewood to three coins of silver.

It only took half a month to force a lot of gray-haired old people to death, the old man's body bones were already weak, and the winter was so cold, the frail old man froze to death one after another in the cold night.

In order to buy a load of firewood manipulated by the bureaucrats and gentry, many low-level people emptied their families, and even the silver to buy a thin coffin for their father and grandfather was gone.

It could only be covered with a straw mat, barely covering the corpse, leaving the last bit of dignity for his father and grandfather.

Zhu Shun took the crown prince Zhu Cihong to the alley of the nursing home, and saw several shocking scenes, which had been advocated by the Donglin Party as the Ming Dynasty in a peaceful and prosperous era, and almost every family in an alley was in mourning.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong's excitement at the people's suffering disappeared in an instant, and he froze in place, looking at a pair of tattered white lantern alleys hanging at the door of every house.

His chest was tight, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and muttered: "This is the peaceful and prosperous era that the Donglin Party said." ”

"Peace and prosperity!"

In the last sentence, the crown prince Zhu Cihong almost roared out in a low voice, looked at the vegetarian alleys in a daze, and walked in step by step.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong pushed open a hidden door and walked in, in the dilapidated courtyard, seven or eight people were crying, and they heard movement at the door and looked over.

All with angry and hateful expressions.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong didn't know this family, and the people of this family didn't know him, so they didn't understand why they showed such hatred the moment they saw him.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't say a word, and walked slowly along this dilapidated alley.

Every time I went to the door of a house, I would push open the hidden door and go in to have a look.

As long as the people in the family see him, they will show anger and hatred, and it is still an unforgettable hatred that killed their parents and burned their home.

All the way, all the way.

Gradually.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong's tall waist pole became more and more rickety, and when he walked to the mouth of the alley where the alley of the sanatorium and the next alley intersected, he almost became a little old man of twilight age.

The body is like, and the aura exuded from the whole body is more similar.

After watching the last house, the crown prince Zhu Cihong closed the palm of the simple wooden door, and kept trembling.

At the moment when the simple wooden door was closed, the prince Zhu Cihong, who had been silent all the way, suddenly asked: "Sir, the common people don't know Gu, why do they see Gu Quan is a hateful look that they have never seen before." ”

"It's like, Lone killed their parents."
