Guanzhong has experienced a harsh winter that has not been encountered in decades, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes has basically not stopped since October. The heavy snowfall deepened the disaster of the people in Guanzhong, who had been traumatized by drought and military disasters in the past two years, and also made the situation of disaster relief for the imperial court very serious. At the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, the disaster situation was obviously lighter than outside the city, as long as he left Chang'an City, many civilians did not survive the heavy snow and pressed the roof.

There are also more and more victims in Guanzhong.

However, after Hua Ji'an led his troops back to Guanzhong, the imperial court was no longer able to carry out disaster relief work in the Guanzhong area outside Chang'an City, and the local disaster relief could only be solved by the local government itself, and the imperial court focused more on buying people's hearts and dealing with military mutiny. For the imperial court, this cold winter is also very harsh, and the political situation is harsh.

In the wax moon, the New Year is approaching, and the city of Chang'an is still lifeless. Only those rich old men will go to the street in such weather, the people of small households are basically shrunk at home and do not come out, the people of Chang'an City generally have the habit of staying in Tibet for the winter, and there are very few people who come out to make a living in the cold winter. Because of this, even if there is no martial law in Chang'an City, the road is similar to martial law, and most of the people walking on the street are the people of the Yamen of the Defense Division, and of course there are strong men who are hired by the imperial court to sweep the snow.

The 70,000 troops of the imperial court were stationed two hundred miles outside the city of Chang'an, and since then it has become an isolated island, and it is even more difficult for the imperial court to investigate the news inside. Although there is still a lot of gossip in Chang'an City, the court noticed that these gossip basically have no credibility, they are all rumors, and the intelligence work of the imperial court is not going well. Mainly because the military was in charge of intelligence before the imperial court. Led by Liu Yu and Yang Lie. Now that both of them have disappeared, the imperial court is no longer able to use the original intelligence channels. Some of the newly built channels have collapsed due to the military's purge, and now only a few news can be transmitted from the barracks, and much information is still expired or useless.

Originally, the imperial court thought that Hua Ji'an would either rebel or surrender, and it would not take too long in the middle. Because there will definitely be a shortage of food in the Huaji Security army. Lack of supplies to protect against the cold. But apparently the imperial court underestimated the military's means of mobilizing materials, although the military withdrew the military camp from the border pass to Guanzhong, but in terms of requisitioning materials, it still used the original set used by Huaji'an, and did not go directly to the place through the imperial court, and the imperial court was in short supply of materials to the point of being stretched, but the local military food was still continuously transported to the military camp as an energy source. Although the imperial court has issued an official document to the land to strictly prohibit the unauthorized use of military rations, it has had little effect, and local officials can clearly distinguish who is stronger now, and the military will usurp power at any time. Even if the imperial court was victorious, they could be said to have acted in accordance with the laws of the Shun dynasty.

Those magistrates who ate the money of the imperial court. But the heart is towards profit, not the court. Their mentality of watching the lively and troubled waters is basically the same as that of the people.

In the blink of an eye, the confrontation between the military and the imperial court has not yet eased, but in Chang'an City, there have been some small and small chaos.

The victims have rebelled!

At the beginning, the imperial court distributed disaster relief materials in Chang'an City in order to buy people's hearts, so that some of the refugees who first went to Chang'an City to take refuge in the disaster received due material security, so that a large number of disaster victims who were originally outside the city poured into Chang'an City to obtain the protection of the imperial court.

Although the gates of Chang'an City were closed most of the time, the imperial court chose to open the city gate to accept the victims in order to reassure the victims at the beginning. But at this time, the number of victims who entered Chang'an City through the city gate and waterway had reached a very large scale, and the imperial court rescued the disaster for a few days, and found that the materials were really tight, so the disaster relief was delayed, causing dissatisfaction among the follow-up victims.

The victims of the disaster first had a robbery incident in the city, and then they simply organized themselves to go to the government to "petition", and tens of thousands of victims sat at the door of the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion without moving, robbing or making trouble, which made the court feel extremely uneasy.

It must be organized. The imperial court immediately held several levels of meetings, and the news was repeatedly reported to the new emperor, and Su Yan heard that the victims of the disaster could not eat and were making trouble outside the city, so he was uncharacteristically not upset, but very sympathetic. Seeing that the emperor was so considerate of the people, the officials were a little drumming in their hearts, they knew very well that the imperial court could not take out food and materials for disaster relief now, who knew that Su Yan just sighed and said: "Actually...... I was just like them in the first few years......"

The officials looked at each other, what did the emperor mean by this? Who are "they" referring to?

Although the officials were politically conscious, they apparently did not know much about the past deeds of the new emperor. Those are the secrets of the Son of Heaven, and it is very dangerous to know whether the Tao should be known or not, and the officials still know each other very well after the new emperor ascends the throne, so they did not inquire in detail. Of course, they didn't know that Su Yan was nostalgic for the past winter, when he had no food to eat and no winter clothes to wear, he ran to the chess building to eat, there was a stove in the chess building, and he even spent the night in the chess room of the chess building at night.

"It's been a long time!"

Su Yan remembered for a while, raised his head, and found that the courtiers, including Su Bi, were all looking at him. Only then did he return to reality from the past, and he was comforted in his heart, now that he was an emperor, he no longer had to go to the streets to suffer from the cold in the cold winter. He was also glad that this harsh cold winter had not come two years earlier, otherwise he might have become a zombie frozen to death in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and he would not be sitting here today listening to the courtiers' reports.

"My master...... Is there any news from Wuyihou? ”

As soon as Su Yan asked, Su Bi on the side cleared his throat twice, and Su Yan remembered that Su Bi did not allow him to mention Liu Wenyan in public again. But Su Yan still couldn't help but think of Liu Yu, in the past, as long as there was trouble, with his master, any difficulty could be solved, just like in the winter of two years ago, he would not have thought that he would sit here today and be the emperor, at that time he just dreamed that he had a big house in which he could gamble with a bunch of people. Now that there is a big house, but it seems that the dream of gambling cannot be realized, how can these ministers gamble with him in front of him?

Su Bi saw that Su Yan was stunned and didn't speak, and the ministers below didn't dare to speak, so she had to break the silence and ask, "Your Majesty, what to do with these people who come to the government to make trouble?" ”

Su Yan sighed and said, "Deal with it, forget it." They are also the people of my Dashun Dynasty, the master said before, who wants to be leprosy if they have hair, just like they are now, they have a house, clothes and food, who wants to run and sit at the door of the yamen in winter? I'm feeling a little cold sitting in front of the fire now, and ...... them."

Su Bi was quite helpless, what happened to the emperor today, the chatter was not over yet. On weekdays, he is still very energetic, the emperor is more and more excellent, both grace and power, and not greedy for pleasure, he is also very concerned about the affairs of the people, often send people out to inquire about the customs and customs, if he can solve today's embarrassment, maybe he will be a saint who will be famous for the ages. But today's Su Yan is in his mother-in-law's mother-in-law, and his master must be mentioned in three sentences and two sentences.

Su Bi hurriedly interrupted Su Yan's nagging and asked, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

"What I mean is that I have been able to fulfill the wishes of those who have been affected, or I have fulfilled them. So that they will go back. ”

The officials below immediately replied: "But Your Majesty, the imperial court really has no money and food." ”

When Su Yan heard this, his tone suddenly changed from weak and weak to dry: "Won't you make it up if you don't have it?" You guys, how greedy are you on weekdays, isn't it enough to peek a little bit out of your fingers to the victims? ”

The emperor drank this, and the ministers below honestly all knelt on the ground. They finally knew why the Emperor of the Dao Dao was babbling so much nonsense, it turned out that it was for the most troubled episode. "Take care of the emperor's dragon body." Officials tremble and persuade.

In fact, Su Yan didn't have an intentional attack, he just felt it, when he didn't have anything to eat in the past, he would also complain about those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, he himself became the head of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and became the biggest moth in the world.

Su Yan's tone softened and said, "What's the use of you getting up, kneeling, aren't the victims still without food?" Wait for Mr. Han to come over later, maybe he will have good news. ”

Han Sheng is now the right minister, but Su Yan is still used to calling him "old man", which is a respect from the bottom of his heart. These days, if it were not for the mediation of Han Sheng and Sui Yu, the imperial court would not have pulled out some details of food for disaster relief, and a heavy snowfall would have knocked the imperial court back to its original shape.

When the imperial court was worried about disaster relief, the victims in the city were also carrying out their "non-violent non-cooperation" at this time, and the Jingzhao Mansion was also very nervous at this time, they had never seen such an orderly "Diao Min", who came to make trouble, and actually sat there, saying nothing or doing anything, as if sitting on their own hot kang head, would they be preparing to paralyze the government and choose to attack the government at the right time?

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion were also too worried, and in the end, these victims did not show any signs of causing trouble. After sitting all day, they had gone back on their own, and a little accident happened in the middle, there was an old woman, her body could not bear it, and when she got up, she found that she was frozen, and her body had been cold for a long time. The people still didn't make trouble, they came out during the day, thinking that they could advance and retreat together, but they didn't expect that they still couldn't go back together.

"Let's go, let's go." There was an old gentleman-like man among the people, who shouted in a thick Guanzhong accent, "When you get to the top, you must give you a dream, and tell you how well you live in heaven?" ”

All the people followed his fingers and looked at the sky, solemn and solemn. At the same time, there is a bit of hope, as if the sky hides their ideal kingdom, and the dead old woman has already gone to this kingdom to explore the way for them.

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion looked at each other, this was the first time they had heard the concept of "Heavenly Kingdom", shouldn't they go to the underworld to report if they died? Is it to heaven? Is there another country in the sky? (To be continued......)
