40 There is still a long way to go

The officials in charge are both civil and military, and the military is the thousand households of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and there are civil officials, so they have no right to speak.

The civil official was the general judge of the Shuntian Mansion, about forty or fifty years old, and said with trepidation on his face: "Back to Your Majesty, there are Diao people who ignore the martial law order of the imperial court and try to rush out to beg along the streets, so there is a conflict!" ”

When Hu Guang heard this, he was slightly stunned, if he said so, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was performing his duties and was not at fault. But the dead people he saw in front of him, and those who were about to die, immediately flashed through his mind.

He looked up, then looked at the judge again and asked, "Is there help?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, one porridge a day, five hundred catties of charcoal."

When Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but be furious: "So many people, such a cold weather, just such a relief? What do Shuntianfu and Hubu do to eat? ”

With helplessness on his face, he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court has mobilized materials for King Qin's army, and there is really no more!" ”

The nearby soldiers listened to the conversation, and they were all silent. And those refugees who rushed to the front line and clashed with the soldiers before lowered their heads, as if there was a hint of helplessness on their faces. They knew very well in their hearts that compared to the supply of King Qin's army, their refugees were insignificant. Hehe, what about the emperor here, he turned around and left if he couldn't say a decent word.

Hu Guang frowned when he heard this, he was not an unreasonable person. Remembering that Jianlu invaded the land of Gyeonggi in October, and Jingshi began martial law, it has been more than two months, and so many people do have to consume a lot of materials.

Relatively speaking, the imperial court naturally gave priority to the military, and it was reasonable that the relief for refugees here would be reduced to a minimum. The original Emperor Chongzhen might not have known about the refugees in Jingshi, and just the military logistics of King Qin's army had already died of a headache. In the final analysis, it is still a sentence, the court has no food.

Fortunately, he crossed over, and ordered the transfer of the Qin Wang Army, which reduced the pressure on the supply of the Beijing Division. Thinking of this, Hu Guang turned his head and instructed Gao Shiyue: "I asked the wealthy families in Beijing to donate money and grain, this part is an extra thing, go and get the roster, I want to know how much food I have donated." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Shiyue agreed, and immediately ordered a fast horse to gallop out.

Hu Guang turned his head to look at the square, the cold wind was howling, and most of the people were shivering with cold, so he turned his head and ordered: "Allocate military tents from the Beijing camp to shelter them from the wind and cold, and ensure that no one is frozen outside." ”

The Jingying is the chief eunuch Li Fengxiang, who is currently assisting in the defense of Mangui at the head of the city. However, with the emperor's dictation, this was enough, and immediately another close attendant galloped out.

Recently, the refugees could not help but be extremely surprised when they heard Hu Guang's two decrees. They didn't expect the emperor to start solving problems for them without hesitation, now it's okay, they should be able to survive!

They had a feeling of being in a desperate situation, and under the excitement, someone immediately took the lead and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The refugees in the back didn't know what was going on, and the fear of the imperial power made them shout along, but the momentum was obviously not as strong as the people in front.

When they finished shouting, they heard the message from the front. Suddenly, the refugees behind were also surprised and happy, and before the change, they shouted loudly and happily again, shouting, kowtowing, and some even shed tears of joy.

"Ding Ding Ding" system prompt sounded, but Hu Guang was not in the mood to see how much the achievement value was. At this moment, he deeply realized that in this feudal dynasty, how many people can see hope with a word from the superior, and how many people can pick up a life.

I don't know how many of these refugees have lost their loved ones, and they don't know if they will survive until tomorrow. And these are caused by the incompetence of the imperial court and the ravages of Jianlu to the land of Gyeonggi.

Thinking of the original history, such a situation will happen repeatedly, and it will affect the whole country, the life on the land of China will be devastated, the white bones will be exposed in the wilderness, and there will be no rooster crow for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines.

At this moment, Hu Guang suddenly felt that being the emperor was not so excited, and was replaced by a heavy responsibility. Military disasters, man-made disasters, great drought in the north, typhoons and floods in the south, these will all be problems that he must work hard to solve as an emperor. On the road of ZTE Daming, there is a long way to go!

Thinking of this, Hu Guang suddenly turned around and ordered: "Pass the decree, order the cabinet, the six ministries and nine secretaries, and the noble emperor to come here to see the driver!" ”

Gao Shiyue was stunned for a moment, but when she saw that the emperor had a cold face, she didn't dare to advise, promised and immediately sent people.

There were more than 4,000 refugees in the square, and under Hu Guang's order, they all began to move, letting the old and weak get close to the fire to keep warm, and boil hot water to ward off the cold. The dead refugees gathered together and lined up on the road in front of Hu Guang one by one.

Hu Guang was still sitting on his horse, silently watching all this, watching the refugees who were still confronting the soldiers just now doing things obediently. In fact, as long as there is a way to live, who will want to make trouble.

It didn't take long for the officials to arrive, and the donor roster had been picked up quickly. Hu Guang took it and took a look, there were so many rich families in Beijing, more than a day had passed, and there were only more than 50 names.

Among them, he saw the name of Ruhua, and near this name, there were names such as Ruyue, Qiuxiang and so on, and at a glance, he knew that he had the same identity as Ruhua, and such names accounted for nearly half. The total amount of money and food registered on the roster is probably only enough for the refugees for two days.

Hu Guang slowly closed the roster, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath and didn't say anything.

On the street, the flow of people gradually increased, and there were few horseback rides, most of them sat in sedan chairs, and converged towards the refugee area.

It's just that when I saw the emperor sitting on a horse with his back to this side from a distance, he dismounted one by one, got off the sedan chair, and walked over.

Looking at his colleagues around him, a scarlet-robed official complained: "What are you doing to eat, how did you let the emperor out of the palace?" ”

"It's okay now, the emperor saw something with his own eyes that shouldn't be seen, wait for Long Yan to be angry for a while!" The other muttered as well.

These civil officials knew in their hearts that no matter how miserable it was in the music, it was a literal thing after all, and it was far less shocking than what they saw with their own eyes. The main reason why all dynasties and dynasties have worked hard to let the emperor stay in the palace with excuses such as disturbing the people and danger, is that he does not want the emperor to see everything outside with his own eyes.

When these courtiers arrived closer, after kneeling down to salute, Hu Guang did not let them get up, until Gao Shiyue told him that the people had arrived, he coldly glanced at the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty who were kneeling on the ground, and threw down the roster in his hand: "Let's take a look!" ”
