Emperor Maud wept bitterly, her big beautiful eyes full of tears. She's really, really, really sad! The betrayal of her father and husband made her unbearable.

Qiu Yue, the delicate maid on the side, looked gloomy, and comforted her with a sad face, "Princess, don't cry, your eyes are swollen." ”

Emperor Maude turned around and hugged Qiu Yue tightly, choked up and sobbed, and said, "No one wants me anymore, what should I do in the future?" "At this moment, Emperor Maude has the heart to die. His father wanted to die by himself! She only felt that the whole world was dark, and she felt like she was locked in a dark room, full of fear. I still can't believe it's true!

"Princess." Qiu Yue is just an ordinary little girl, she has grown up in the palace since she was a child, where will she know what to do? Now at this time, I have to hug my princess tightly and cry with her.

It's just that Qiuyue is not held in the palm of her hand like Emperor Maode and grows up. As a palace maid, I have seen some palace fights and intrigues in the palace, and my vision is farther than that of Emperor Maode.

After a long while, Emperor Maud choked up and said, "I'm going to worship the Queen Mother, and I'm going to be with the Queen Mother." ”

Qiu Yue's brows furrowed, and after groaning slightly, she said with anxiety, "Princess, we have no other way now. Let's stay here for the time being, let's not go out. I'm afraid."

"What?" Emperor Maude straightened up and sat up straight from Qiu Yue's arms, her big watery eyes full of doubt: "What are you afraid of?" How can we stay here all the time? This is a barracks, and there are men all around," said Emperor Maud's voice, which became quieter and quieter, and a faint flush appeared on her fair cheeks.

As a gentle and virtuous princess, she is actually very shy and very uncomfortable in the military camp where the male atmosphere is the strongest. Now that I heard Qiu Yue say that I want to stay here all the time, the feeling of shyness in my heart is even stronger.

"Princess." Qiu Yue held Emperor Maode's shoulders and said with a serious expression, "The saint is the one, but I want you that!" It's good for us to stay here, but if we really go out, what if there are three long and two short! ”

"Huh?!" Emperor Maud was stunned. After listening to Qiu Yue's words, she also understood that she was still very safe when she was in the barracks. But if you go out, your father wants to kill you!

Panicked in her heart, and the extremely sad Emperor Maude only felt that there was no place for her in the whole heaven and earth for a while, and she began to cry bitterly again under the sadness.

"Princess." Qiu Yue hugged Emperor Mao De into her arms and said softly, "That high general, the master is very good. He put us in the barracks just to protect the princess. Otherwise, when the saint made that request, he would have handed us over a long time ago. ”

"High General?" In a trance, the tearful Emperor Mao remembered the high-ranking general he had met from afar. He is handsome and full of manliness. Somehow, his smooth cheeks became more and more rosy, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Princess." Qiu Yue didn't see the look of Emperor Maode in her arms, and continued to herself: "That high general will soon marry Emperor Roufu. Emperor Joufu is very close to the princess, and she will definitely take care of the princess. After the wedding of Emperor Roufu, let's go to Emperor Roufu. ”

"Huan Huan?" Emperor Maude's expression was gloomy, and she bit the corners of her mouth, her big bright eyes seemed to be flashing something, and she muttered softly.

The food crisis in Bianliang is getting worse. After the water transportation was cut off, the demand for various daily necessities began to rise rapidly in this city of millions of people.

The price of grain has changed from one price per day at the beginning, to one price per hour now, and in the end, there is no purchase at all! The Song Dynasty didn't have any strategic reserve plans, and the food in Bianliang City was not enough for so many people to eat for a long time.

In order to be able to eat their stomachs, there are those who pawn their property, sell their children and daughters, sell their fields and land, and sell themselves as slaves, and they are forced to a dead end, rob their homes and houses, and violate discipline. Scenes of human tragicomedy are staged every day in this first city in the world.

The Song bureaucracy had gradually lost control of the city. The limited number of errands and the completely useless Imperial Guards were no longer able to control the city.

As for the soldiers brought by Zhang Shuye and the very few defenders of Bianliang City who were able to fight, they were all on the city wall to guard against the golden ** team, or they were monitored outside the camp of the Changsheng army. The law and order in Bianliang City gradually deteriorated.

Of course, the elites, who control the resources of the entire country, will not understand the suffering of the people. No matter how hard the people are, it will not affect their lives. These magnates are still drunk and dreaming of death every day, living the same extravagant life as before.

For them, that's a good thing. With this opportunity, they have already reaped great benefits. Food prices are so high that they are appalling, and these elites are the main drivers of this.

Even if there are people like Li Gang and Zhang Shuye who cherish the people, they can't save so many people!

Li Gang is not a corrupt official, although his income is very high, but he can't buy much food. The food in his own house is all issued by the imperial court.

And Uncle Zhang had some military rations over there, but he didn't dare to use it! This is military rations! What is the situation of no food in the army, as a person who knows the soldiers, he Uncle Zhang is very clear at night!

Li Gang, Zhang Shuye and others wrote to the two emperors many times, hoping that the imperial court could open a granary to relieve the people. But Cai Jing: Their reply is very simple, no!

The two father and son emperors are not stupid, and they also know about the current situation in Bianliang City. It's not that they don't want to help the people, but the problem is that there really isn't much food. So many sergeants (including the all-gate guards who can't fight, can only eat. So many officials at all levels, so many nobles and their lackeys. So many mouths are waiting for the imperial court to send food to eat. Once the people are relieved, those millions of mouths will soon eat up the entire imperial court!

What happens when you run out of food? These people may make trouble, and they are more likely to rebel! The Song Dynasty has always given preferential treatment to literati, and officials at all levels could not afford to eat less. The nobles have huge powers, and many of them are relatives of the emperor, and they cannot be offended. As for those originally with the lowest status, they can't fight, but they are all good at making food and wages!

Although officials and nobles at all levels are not short of these grains issued by the imperial court, they must not miss a single grain! This is a matter of principle.

In this case, the only people who can be sacrificed are the people. In the original words of Song Huizong, it is, "Let them fend for themselves." ”

In this situation that was close to the collapse of order, Gao Yang made a move.

Chang Shengjun set up a number of temporary porridge sheds in Bianliang City, and distributed them to all the people in Bianliang City for free!

At this time, everyone in Bianliang City was dumbfounded. With so many mouths to eat, even if the camp of the victorious army is full of food, it won't be able to sustain them for long!

Even Uncle Zhang deliberately went to the camp of the Changsheng Army to persuade Gao Yang. Persuade him not to be rash, the Chang Shengjun is the main force of the main force guarding Bianliang City. Their rations can't be moved!

Uncle Zhang said to Gao Yang that he would go to the imperial court to ask for relief in this matter.

After smiling and thanking him, Gao Yang said that he couldn't watch the people starve to death. He will continue to open porridge sheds to help the people. As for the imperial court, don't mention it.

Uncle Zhang left slowly in desperation. However, because of this incident, his impression of Gao Yang has changed greatly.

Originally, he was very angry because Gao Yang killed the ministers of the court without authorization in front of everyone. It's just that the victorious army at this moment is too important to this city and this country, so he has to suppress his anger in the bottom of his heart. I don't have the idea of settling accounts after the autumn.

It's just that Gao Yang is willing to use military rations, which are more valuable than his life, to relieve the people at such a critical juncture, which makes Zhang Shuye no longer be dissatisfied with him. "This is a person with a conscience, 10,000 times better than those powerful people who are drunk and dreaming all day long, and the Jin army is still buying drunk in the fence outside the siege of the city, raising prices and ruining countless people!" Who wouldn't know what the powerful were doing? There are so many lackeys who raise the price of food every day, and no one in this city can see it!

It's not just Uncle Zhang who thinks so, but all the people of Bianliang City who have been relieved think so.

It is only in times of crisis that people find out what others are good for. It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's true to send charcoal in the snow!

In the hearts of those people who live by drinking the rice porridge provided by the Chang Sheng Army every day, the incompetent court has long been replaced by the Chang Sheng Army! If Gao Yang were to raise the anti-flag high now, maybe many people would follow suit.

That's what Gao Yang wants.

It's not that he can't get the supplies to supply the city for its daily needs. It's just because he knows in his heart that most people don't cherish things that are too easy to get. Only after experiencing pain can you understand who is the one who is truly good to you.

Win the hearts and minds of the people. This is of great importance to Goyang's future actions in the city! He's brushing up on prestige.

It's just that this is a complex society where interests come first. Gao Yang's actions greatly hurt the interests of those powerful people who relied on raising food prices to make a fortune in the country.

Marx once said that if capital has 50 percent profit, it will take risks. If it has 100 percent profits, it dares to trample on all the laws of the world. If it has a profit of three hundred percent, it will dare to commit any crime, even in danger of being hanged!

This law is true in this era, in this country, and in this city! r1152
