Sima Yan, who was poured a bag of water on his head, went down the city tower in great embarrassment. quickly got into his royal chariot, just thinking about returning to the palace as soon as possible, changing his clothes and holding a court meeting.

Unfortunately, the convoy only came down from the city walls, and was stopped before it could enter the inner city.

The residents of Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of Dong Zhuo's relationship, died and moved, and there were not many aborigines left. At this time, the vast majority of the people of Luoyang were slowly migrated by Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Ei, and the heads of many village communities were often the descendants of Cao Cao's veterans...... Therefore, strictly speaking, if you want to ask the true intentions of these people, whether they are more to Wei or a little more to Jin, it is estimated that this answer will not make the people of the Sima family happy.

But ordinary people can't control national affairs. The people of the old Cao family have lost the country by themselves, and everyone can't do more except sigh softly when no one is around: don't eat for a day and panic, and don't eat for three days to die. We, the people, it is most important to have a full stomach.

But now, TM's can't even eat enough, this, we're going to talk to your emperor!

"What's ahead? Why did it stop? "The weather in the fifth month of the lunar calendar is already very hot, and Sima Yan is soaked all over at this moment, and he is still wrapped in a thick curtain, which is quite uncomfortable. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to get back to the palace as soon as possible. Therefore, after the convoy stopped for a while, His Majesty the Emperor was in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there are thousands of people blocking the road ahead. Belch...... The minister saw that there were more people coming in large numbers. ”

"What's going on? What did the people want? ”

"The people said that the imperial court only allowed each household to buy one liter of grain (about one catty) every day, and the people complained one after another, saying that their families did not have enough to eat. Therefore, after seeing His Majesty's royal chariot on the city wall, some people rushed to tell each other, and then ......"

As the people of the capital region, their standard of living is definitely higher than that of other places, and every household has some surplus food. Therefore, Shangshutai implemented the policy of pooling all grain and then restricting the sale of grain, and each household was only allowed to buy one liter of grain per day. At the beginning of the siege, it did not provoke much resistance from the people.

But now, the siege has been more than two months, and the surplus food in the people's homes has basically bottomed out. You are still restricting the purchase of food at this time, so how can everyone live?

You have to know that there is no family planning in this era. A family is generally four or five, seven or eight, a pound of rice a day? It's not enough to boil porridge!

Anyway, I can't survive, and it's not good to see your Sima family - when the old Cao family was there before, no enemy could hit Luoyang! What do you guys eat?

Sima Yan is not his idiot son who 'why not eat minced meat'. He still knows what the concept of one pound of rice a day is for a family. So when he heard the report of the eunuch with him, he became angry: "What about the Shang scholar? How did he do it? Let him come over quickly! ”

"The minister has already sent someone to inform Yang Servant to shoot. It's just that at this time, the people were angry and asked to see His Majesty. I can't say it, I can only let the Royal Forest Army suppress it. ”

"Never!" When Sima Yan said this, he simply took off his coat, took off the jade crown, and then found a scarf to tie it: "Let's go, go out with me to have a look." ”

It's good that you don't go out, but after you go out, you can see that it's amazing: where are thousands of people blocking the road at this time, it is clearly tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people blocking the road between the inner city and the outer city. And there's a lot more coming here.

However, at this time, the army in Luoyang City was in the hands of the Sima family's own people, so in just such a while, Sima Lun on the city wall and Sima Gui in the inner city had already received the news, and the army quickly drove over.

"Your Majesty." With Sima Gui coming to Sima Yan, it was Yang Jue, who was in charge of the logistics materials in the city.

"Wen Ju, what's going on? How can a household have one liter of grain a day, so that the people can be fed? ”

"Your Majesty, there is no way to do this. Because the Han army came too quickly, only the grain from Wancheng was brought in. When the Han army besieged Luoyang, the entire grain depot was only 13 million stone grain. This grain is absolutely not enough to support it for two or three years. The minister has to make a decision ......"

“…… I...... Got it. It's just that we treat the people so harshly, or if the Han Kingdom comes to fight, we ourselves will be in chaos. Let's change it up a little. ”

"Chen understands, it's just that in this way, the time for Luoyang to hold on ......"

"You don't have to worry about this. In this way, each household is limited to two liters a day. ”

"Oh, the Minister's Decree."

Later, dozens of small yellow doors shouted in unison: "Your Majesty's dictation, from today, each household is limited to two liters!" ”

Such a small improvement is not actually satisfactory to everyone. But with two liters of grain a day, the family can drink porridge to hang their lives. By this time, more and more troops had arrived. So the people of Luoyang finally dispersed - without thanking Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty and so on. Just silently dispersed. This scene really hurt Sima Yan's heart.

……

On the other side, Pei Fu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why did the two of us appear here, I think you have a good idea, right?"

At the beginning of February, after Lu Ya got the results of the Battle of Continental Ze, he immediately sent Si Wen envoy into Luoyang and activated Ji Han's only two shadows in the Luoyang court.

Needless to say, the Xu family has always had a certain connection with Shu Han. Even after Zhuge Liang took office, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang also had personal correspondence. And Xu Cong, after the envoy to Wuyuan County, contacted Si Wencao.

Although Lu Ya's movements were fast, Jia Chong's reaction was not slow. Not long after Lu Ya's envoy entered Luoyang, Luoyang began martial law, and he was not allowed to enter but not to leave. The Siwen envoy in the city completely lost contact with the outside.

However, as Luoyang was surrounded, especially when the purpose of Ji Han's trench was already obvious, these two dared to stand up.

The fall of the Jin Kingdom is imminent, and these two naturally want to take advantage of this time period to do something: otherwise, the Han army will enter the city, who knows who you are?

The first thing they contacted was Pei Xiu's eldest son Pei Jun: the eldest son, the Pei family has branches in Ji Han, and the status is not low. Wenxi Pei's family will still be a wealthy family in the future, but it is difficult to say whether the head of this wealthy family is yours. Your father is now the Shang Shuling of the Jin Kingdom, even if the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, with his current status, he will still be a high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty. But what about you? You're still young!

Therefore, under Pei Jun's bitter pleading, Pei Xiu, who was already extremely dissatisfied with Sima Yan, finally came out and did something that someone would do sooner or later.

After Xu Cong and others identified themselves, the hall fell silent for a while. After a while, Ma Long stood up: "Two, the fall of Jin is inevitable. As a general, Long has fulfilled his responsibilities. So, what are the two going to do, Long doesn't want to intervene. However, if you want to raise an army to kill Your Majesty, this point must not be agreed! And ......" Speaking of this, Malone smiled miserably: "Everyone here has been deprived of military power, even if we want to do something, we can't do anything." ”

"Hehehe, how dare you let all the officials here have the infamy of selling out for glory on their backs. What I want to say next is that if the Jin Emperor convenes a grand court meeting, all the officials only need to do this......"
