Although Lu Zhongtian's heart was already blazing, the words that came out of his mouth were like this.

"Zhenbang, the old man knows that you are sincere, and the old man also admits that he made some mistakes at the beginning and failed to seize the opportunity to win the hearts of the people. However, there is no need to mention it anymore. If the old man took out the edict of the Zen throne at this time to ascend the throne as the emperor, in the eyes of outsiders, they thought that the old man was greedy for imperial power and was out of place. The old man led the army and the people to resist the enemy as the privy envoy of the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he was just right. Guo Kun or anyone else claiming to be the emperor cannot be a fact. Everyone is not blind, and they will understand the fact that they take the opportunity to stand on their own. The old man now just wants to defend Bianliang City wholeheartedly, which is the old man's responsibility. Let's talk about the rest after Bianliang City is fine. ”

Liu Zhenbang observed his words and looks, and he knew himself in his heart. Lu Xiang naturally couldn't immediately agree to ascend the throne and become emperor because of a few words from himself. ascended the throne as emperor as him, and in order to avoid suspicion, he always had to be persuaded again and again. In ancient times, it was the case that the emperor was called.

"Lu Xiang, Xia Guan understands your feelings, Xia Guan will retire for the time being, Xia Guan is going to complete the errand assigned by Lu Xiang. Regarding Lu Xiang's accession to the throne, Xia Guan insisted on his own opinion and asked Lu Xiang to think twice. The lower officials will also discuss the matter with the other adults. I'm sure the others will be on the same page as Xiaguan. Liu Zhenbang said in a deep voice.

Lu Zhongtian's face was calm, and he stroked his beard and said, "Let's go and do something." Thank you for your hard work. ”

This sentence 'go do something' is meaningful and not specific, but Liu Zhenbang already understands it. Then he prostrated himself and stood up, and bowed himself and withdrew.

Lu Zhongtian sat on the chair, watched Liu Zhenbang's figure leave, muttered alone for a long time, suddenly got up and turned into the inner room, took out an iron key from his waist, opened a luxurious wooden box with iron locks at the head of the bed, and carefully took out a golden robe from inside. The robe was spread out on the long table, and on the red silk satin cloth, the golden dragon with golden silk was hovering on it, and its fingers and claws were flying, and its eyes were angry and majestic, and it was extremely luxurious and majestic. Lu Zhongtian squinted, his old fingers gently slid over the raised dragon scales on the soft satin, and his expression became extremely soft.

"Someone, wait for the appearance to change clothes." Lu Zhongtian suddenly withdrew his fingers and commanded in a deep voice.

……

The people of Bianliang have never received a good news from time to time, and each family can send one person to the big square in front of Daqing Gate of the Great Inner Palace Gate to receive a distribution of rice, noodles, five catties of vegetables, vegetables and meat. This news is simply great news for the people of Bianliang. For many days, the people have been in a state of hunger, and the quota supply of grain is too small, and it is all low-quality rice, mixed with a lot of sand, and it is difficult to eat. Even so, the rice is only enough to be boiled into gruel for a family. As for vegetables, vegetables and meat, don't even think about it. It's good to have a few pieces of pickle gnocchi, and many people sprinkle a few grains of salt in the porridge rice, which can be regarded as a meal that gives the gruel some flavor. Today, he actually said that he could receive five catties of rice noodles and a portion of vegetables, vegetables and meat, which everyone thought was incredible.

Many people thought that this thing was unreliable, and it was not until they rushed to the square in front of Daqing that they were pleasantly surprised to find that the matter might be true. Under the palace wall at the side of Daqing Gate, the grain and rice are piled up like a mountain, and on the wooden frame railing that is hundreds of steps long, the pigs, cattle and sheep that are slaughtered and washed are hung on it whole, and the white flowers are like a woman's ketone body. Thousands of forbidden troops were heavily armed to guard these food supplies to prevent them from being rushed by the red-eyed people to grab them clean. A half-person-high wooden platform was set up in the opposite direction of Daqing Gate, and there were more than a dozen civil officials and military generals sitting on the wooden platform at this moment.

"It's true, thank goodness, finally getting to eat a full meal. The elderly and children in the family are dying of hunger. Thank goodness. ”

"Isn't it? I caught a mouse last night, and I didn't even bother to throw it away, so I boiled it in porridge to satisfy my hunger. Today, I was going to hang my whole family, but I didn't expect the above to be merciful. That's great. ”

The people talked a lot, and many people excitedly expressed their gratitude and surprise. Of course, there are also people who sneer and tell the truth.

"Thanks? Thanks to whom? These are the things that have been taken from us, the things that have been taken away from them, and now they give you some thanks, and thank God? This is ours. ”

"That is, when have the people of my capital ever been so embarrassed? Even if there is a famine in the world, our people in Bianliang have never lacked rice, flour and meat. Now thank them? They are the ones who have caused the results we are today. ”

"Don't say anything, be careful, don't let them hear you. That being said, what's the use of saying that? Now it's good that they can give some back. ”

“……”

The crowd gathered more and more, and the entire Daqingmen Square gathered 70,000 or 80,000 people in one hour. Even the widest Daqingmen Square in Bianliang City is close to being full at the moment, and the black pressure is full of people.

Finally, in anticipation, the gong on the side of the stage rang, and the people quieted down, standing on tiptoe and stretching their necks to look at the stage. One of the officials in the row of officials sitting in a chair stood up and walked to the front of the stage. This person was wearing a scarlet official robe, and his appearance was thin, about forty people. Many people recognized this person as Liu Zhenbang, the deputy prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall.

Liu Zhenbang came to the stage and bowed high, and when the gong stopped, Liu Zhenbang said loudly: "All the people of Bianliang City, all the fathers and elders, the official Liu Zhenbang has given you a salute." ”

The crowd was indifferent, only a few hundred people returned the salute, and the scene was a little awkward. Liu Zhenbang didn't care, coughed and continued: "Today, all the fathers and villagers are here to prepare some rice, noodles, vegetables and some meat for you to distribute. The official knows that the fathers and elders of the Bianliang villagers have been having a very difficult time recently, and the imperial court has implemented the policy of rationing and controlling the rationing of food and materials, so that the fathers and villagers are not enough to eat, and they have some complaints in their hearts. Hey, in fact, these are all helpless moves. You all understand the current situation of my Great Zhou. The Jurchens and Liao people invaded our Great Zhou Dynasty in the south, and they occupied more than 100 cities and large areas of territory in the north. Millions of people were forced to flee south, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people came to the left of the capital alone. On the one hand, the imperial court had to mobilize soldiers and horses to fight with the Jurchen Liao, and on the other hand, it had to help these homeless people, and food and materials were naturally extremely scarce. Under such circumstances, the control and rationing of food and materials had to be carried out, which was also a matter of no choice. There is a reason, you fathers and villagers should understand that if the capital is lost, you will be as homeless and displaced as those displaced people, and you will not even be able to drink gruel, and you will lose your protection and become the soul of the barbarian iron hooves. Therefore, the villagers and elders should be happy, even if the food is not enough, at least you still have a bite to eat, is this reasonable? ”

The crowd was silent, and some ignorant people naturally felt that what Liu Zhenbang said was very reasonable. After all, in such a difficult situation, holding on to the situation and keeping Bianliang is already a good result. However, the control of food and materials is also a last resort. But more people actually know it in their hearts. Liu Zhenbang said these words are actually unreasonable. The people are under the court, which is the responsibility of the court, not the merit. The people paid taxes and fed the emperor's officials and horses, and the court should have protected the safety of the people, otherwise what was the use of the court? The northern roads were occupied by the Jurchens, and the people were displaced, which was the result of the incompetence of the imperial court. And those who know the inside story know that when refugees from the north came to the capital and wanted to take refuge, the gates of the capital were closed and they were not allowed to enter the city at all. When the people stormed the city gate, many people were shot and killed by the forbidden army defending the city, causing a tragedy. The relief in Liu Zhenbang's mouth is fake at all. There are a lot of food and materials sent to the Jurchens, and most of the words in Liu Zhenbang's mouth are lies.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen in the capital, even in such a difficult moment of material shortage, the imperial court has not forgotten you. When Lu Xiang learned that the people's livelihood was difficult, he specially ordered to take out military rations and materials to distribute to you. Lü Xiang said that the mission of the imperial court was to ensure the well-being and safety of the people in the capital. The pain of the people is the pain of the court, and every effort is made to let the people of Bianliang have food. Do you know that Lu Xiang himself only eats two meals a day, each meal is only a small bowl, plus one dish and one soup. These meals aren't much better than yours. Isn't it to get through the times together? Liu Zhenbang continued.

Someone among the people shouted: "Lu Xiang has done his best for the people, Lu Xiang is benevolent and righteous." Without Lu Xiang's support, we are all finished. Thank you Lu Xiang, please take care of your body. ”

"Yes, Lu Xiang must eat more, Lu Xiang can't collapse, our people are counting on him to save us."

The people looked sideways at the shouters, and no one knew them. They don't look like ordinary people. Ordinary people now have yellow faces and thin muscles, how can they have such fat heads and big ears. These people are all nurseries arranged among the people, who are responsible for driving the atmosphere and bewitching the people who do not know the truth.

"What do you see? Isn't what Lao Tzu said wrong? People can't be ungrateful, without Lu Xiang's maneuvering, the capital would have been broken long ago, and you would have been killed by the Jurchens. The protection of the capital is entirely due to Lu Xiang. The people who shouted viciously glared at the people who were looking at them sideways.

"Hmph, we wish the city was broken. We live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, what is the difference between being alive and you dying? Don't think that everyone else is blind and deaf, we all know what they have done. Someone retorted coldly.

"Ah, if you dare to say such things, you must be spies who have come in and demagoguery. I took it and went to see the officer. I took it and went to see the officer. "The gang shouted, they really wanted to take people. The rest of the people, though silent, took a stand by their actions, protecting the people who spoke justice with their bodies, so that they could not be approached or caught by those who were shouting.
