After a long journey of several days, the group finally arrived in Chang'an, where the towering city walls could be clearly seen from a few miles away, and the city guards patrolled in an orderly manner. There was a long line at the gates, and outside the city walls sat thousands of ragged refugees, the cries and noises of children and adults, mixed together, and it was irritating to listen to them.

"Okay, my child started to have a high fever yesterday, and if I don't see the doctor, I will definitely go out of the city before dark," a village woman said with tears in her eyes, pulling the doorman's clothes while holding a four- or five-year-old child.

The doorman looked at the child, only to see that the child's face was yellow and thin, his lips were white, and he trembled slightly, and the doorman showed a little pity and then put the village woman aside with an expressionless face, and said indignantly: "Everyone will say that, you don't see that those people over there have been hungry for a few days and still can't get in, if you want to go in, you have to give money, one or two silver per person, and the people behind are fast." ”

Seeing a lot of such situations, everyone will feel numb, and they don't know what tomorrow will bring, and how they can take care of others. can only be the emperor in the future, govern his subordinates, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment as much as possible, Yang Ying sighed secretly in his heart when he saw this situation.

An army opened the way, and Yang Ying entered the capital smoothly. There seems to be a different world outside the city, the straight avenue, lined with all kinds of vendors, a dazzling array of items, there are women and girls buying all kinds of rouge gouache, there are children holding their parents' hands to buy strings of rock sugar gourds, there are tavern juniors shouting loudly, it is very lively, and there is no tragic situation of war at all.

Walk into the palace, only to see five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, the corridor lingers like a ribbon, the densely arranged glazed tiles, the eaves are pecked to the sky like an eagle's beak, the pavilions are inclined according to the terrain, the four corners of the house are golden dragons, and the ball that rises high in the middle is like four dragons winning pearls.

Back at the palace, I can finally have a good rest.

However, before dawn, Yang Ying heard a call like a duck: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court early."

Yang Ying's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he could vaguely see a eunuch and several palace maids, "Your Majesty, all the ministers have been waiting for an hour."

The eunuch said to the palace maids beside him, "Why don't you change the emperor's clothes quickly."

About a stick of incense, Yang Ying sat on the imperial court, staggered to the court, and at this time he had already sobered up, looking at the sparsely standing ministers in the court, "What about the others" Yang Ying wondered.

The ministers under the hall looked at each other, and no one answered, and couldn't help but be a little angry, they didn't let people sleep early in the morning and didn't say anything, seeing that no one answered, the eunuch just now walked behind the emperor and said quietly: "Except for some who followed His Majesty to Jiangdu, most of the remaining ministers went to the rebels to find another way out. Yang Ying also felt helpless when she heard it, but she also felt that it was excusable.

Seeing the ministers in the audience bowing their heads, as if something had fallen on the ground, and peeking at Yang Ying's expression from time to time, like a group of children who had done something wrong, Yang Ying couldn't help but feel amused by the various situations in front of him, forced a smile, and said righteously: "Now I give you a chance, since you are not optimistic about me, you can resign and leave Chang'an now, I will never stop you, if you don't leave now, you will betray the court in the future, not only yourself, but also your family will suffer." Listening to the emperor's words, the ministers below seemed to have seen a ghost, with an incredible look, feeling that the emperor in front of him had changed people, which was not like the style of a "tyrant", and he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the words of the "tyrant".

After a short period of thought, as if everyone had reached an agreement, they knelt on the ground one after another: "The ministers are willing to live and die together with the Great Sui", after listening to the minister's statement, although he didn't know how much credibility there was, Yang Ying still said: "Since Aiqing is still willing to believe in me, then I promise that as long as the Great Sui is there, you will be prosperous and rich in the future." Yang Ying couldn't help but think: Fuck, being an emperor, you have to lie and coax the minister.

"What else do you have to say below, just retreat if you have nothing to do" Yang Ying was a little weak, and pressed the dragon chair where he was sitting, although this position made tens of millions of people yearn for it, how many people could sit firmly and sit well?

"Your Majesty, there was a clash between refugees and guards outside the city yesterday, and many people have gathered to make trouble."

When she saw thousands of refugees yesterday, Yang Ying felt uncomfortable, but she didn't expect that just after returning to the palace, such a big thing would happen before the day had passed, and Yang Ying didn't know how to appease these people.

"What is the best plan for Zhong Aiqing", seeing that no one spoke, the official standing at the end said: "Emperor Qiqi, if you want to appease these people, it is best to find the leader to persuade him and provide them with food, and when they have food, they should be able to keep to themselves."

"Okay, if you handle this matter properly, I will give you a promotion to the third rank, and the same is true for all Aiqing, there are so many vacancies right now, as long as you have the ability, you can fill it"

"Your Majesty, there is not much grain in storage, I'm afraid it won't last long before it will be consumed, and the treasury is almost empty, only enough to pay a month or two."

After listening to the words of the courtier, Yang Ying was helpless, "I will find a way to solve the matter of silver, first solve the matter of the refugees, and then retreat from the dynasty", Yang Ying stood up two or three steps and left the dragon chair, as if this dragon chair was a big trouble, and people couldn't avoid it.

When leaving, Yang Ying did not sit on the imperial palace again, but walked in the palace on foot, wandering around, Yang Ying asked and knew that the eunuch who served him was called Li Lianying, so he called him Little Lizi.

"Alas, it's not easy to be an emperor, Xiao Lizi, why do you say that everyone wants to seize this position" Seeing the emperor listless, Xiao Lizi said with a smile: "The emperor is the real dragon son of heaven, no one sees the emperor bow and die, only see the emperor's scenery"

"You can still see clearly"

"Actually, if the emperor is worried about the silver, then there is no need to do this, you can borrow it from the lonely family! Anyway, the whole world is the emperor."

"I didn't expect you to be quite clever" Yang Ying turned to look at him, then patted him on the shoulder, "It's everyone who thinks like this, I'm relieved" Yang Ying listened to Xiao Lizi's suggestion and pondered how to borrow money from the Lonely Valve.
