At this time, it was already noon, the people were eating at home, Qin Yuandao and Qi Jingqin passed through the various Fang cities, the streets were empty, perhaps because of the food, and a large part of the reason was because of the expulsion of the officers and soldiers, even the children playing on the street hurried home, and the one hundred and eight square cities in Shangjing sent the materials to Chongxianfang, wanting to build a shelter in the fastest time.

Although there is no notice from the Yin and Qi royal courts in Shangjing now, some ordinary people who have always been keen-minded are the most able to truly experience the changes at all levels of society, and now they have closed their doors and heard about the severity of the plague early.

At the moment, no one can be blamed, when their lives are threatened, people do everything, not to mention, many of the refugees are dragged by their families, whether it is a wife, a husband, a son or a daughter, or a pair of old people, none of them regard each other as something more important than life, so it is reasonable to take the risk of forcing the court to treat them.

But the people of Shangjing are really innocent, but at this time, they embody the national righteousness, and the people who moved out of Chongxianfang are willing to requisition their houses to the government, and their residences have also been arranged by major inns.

When Qi Jingqin and Qin Yuandao walked on the street, although the streets on both sides were deserted not like before, and they did not reflect the morale of the Heavenly Empire when the capital and all the kingdoms came to the court, but the wisps of cooking smoke coming from the people on both sides of the street were still telling Qi Jingqin that it was still a peaceful and prosperous era, and flowers were still blooming.

Qin Yuandao watched Qi Jingqin look at the street in a trance, and couldn't help but nod and said, "How does the prince feel now?" ”

Every time Qi Jingqin went out of the house, if there was no guard of honor, he would not be able to see such people's livelihood and suffering, and now under such a disaster, even if he went to Beijing in a prosperous world, he also exposed his timidity.

Qi Jingqin didn't speak, Qin Yuandao said: "Once something happens in the Celestial Empire, the first thing to know is not the Three Provinces and Six Ministries, not the Nine Divisions Imperial Court, but precisely these people who live in reality. ”

In the past, when Qinzhou was flooded, it was Lu Gaohong's assistant, and then the epidemic was triggered after the flood, and when Qi Jingqin took over, he felt powerless, he sat in Shangjing, the center of power in the world, and only knew to issue orders and send people to execute, he once thought that his plan was so perfect, why did the people below always do nothing, he never thought that the situation would be so bad.

Now that he has finally arrived in Shangjing, he knows how serious the situation is and how blank it is to really carry out his plan.

"Qinzhou and Suizhou...... Is that also the case? Qi Jingqin looked at the closed shops on both sides of the street, the empty streets, and asked Qin Yuandao beside him.

"What is going on in Qinzhou and Suizhou...... Lord Wang, you have been in charge of this epidemic for so long, you must have never seen those refugees from Qinzhou and Suizhou, right? Qin Yuandao sighed, looked ahead and said, "They came from Qinzhou and Suizhou, but they can't represent Qinzhou and Suizhou at all...... They are only the survivors among them, and those who can't escape are the real ones......"

Qi Jingqin nodded, and looked at this street with an ignorant gaze again, he had been going to Beijing, thinking that he could govern the world properly by reading poetry and books and learning martial arts, and he could guard the country well, and let the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, but he never thought that in fact, there would still be many sadness and pain in the world that he could not touch in a high position.

"When our emperor was young, that was the real Ming Jun, and when he got older, he was caught up in many things." Taking advantage of the fact that he had not yet arrived at the East City Gate, Qin Yuandao also seized this opportunity to teach Qi Jingqin.

Maybe Qi Jingyang grew up under the education of the prince since he was a child, but it is obvious that such thoughts are useless, he is stupid and does not want the stupid bird to fly first, but Qi Jingqin is different, he has the courage to ask questions shamelessly, which is what he is today.

Qin Yuandao loves this court, and he loves his position, he may have selfish intentions, knowing that if Qi Jingyang really ascends the throne as the emperor at that time, then with his temperament, Qi Jingqin, Liang Fengmian and himself will definitely not have good fruits to eat, whether it is for the sake of the common people in the world, the people of Shangjing, or for himself, he will do his best to let Qi Jingqin ascend the throne, and be a good emperor who will be famous through the ages.

"What did my father do?" Qi Jingqin was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, but he also heard Qin Yuandao say that the real folk are much more cruel than here, but in this case, why was Shangjing a powerful country among several surrounding countries in the early years of Bingyu, and finally won the Central Plains? Among them, there are grassroots officials who have the understanding of the people's feelings, and there is also the leading role of the upper level of the political power.

Qin Yuandao looked at Qi Jingqin and said with a smile: "Your Majesty...... What he is best at is to win the hearts of the people, in the past, he often took us down to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect, the people sang happily along the way, everyone praised him as a virtuous monarch, when the people wanted, built a heart wall, that is, no one can break it at any time, which is why, last year General Liang will go to crusade with the prince to fight against Da Liang. ”

Qi Jingqin looked at Qin Yuandao, and as Qin Yuandao walked beside him, Qin Yuandao continued: "Later, the emperor saw the prince's ability clearly, and knew that the prince could take on the great responsibility, so he would give the power of the prince to the prince one by one. ”

Qi Jingqin nodded, understanding Liang Fengmian and Qin Yuandao's good intentions for him, during the time he was in contact with them, Qi Jingqin felt the attention he had never received from his father before.

If Qi Jingyang feels wronged, isn't Qi Jingqin wronged? The prosperity of Bingyu in the early years was done at the expense of their father's love, Qi Jingyang was at least the crown prince, Empress Mingxian was so favored, naturally, the emperor would go to Qianning Palace whenever he had free time, and the prince would also be present at that time.

When Qi Jingyang and Qi Jingqin were playing together when they were children, Qi Jingyang always showed off to Qi Jingqin that he had seen his father and emperor one day and another.

But when Qi Jingqin grew up, he didn't care about this kind of thing anymore, but whenever he saw some pictures of family harmony when he inspected the lower state capital, he would always think of his father who was in charge of everything, he was the emperor of everyone, he was doing his duty as an emperor, but he never cared about their feelings.

When he was a child, Qi Jingqin didn't know what his father was busy with, he only knew that there were hundreds of minions behind him, and he was always following him, so he had no way to get close to his father at all.

But now, he is only one step away from the throne, and he has realized the pain of his father's dilemma even more, not only to take care of what he loves, but also to manage the world well.

"Thank you, Lord Qin, for your advice." Qi Jingqin thanked Qin Yuandao with a humble attitude, and at this time, Qin Yuandao knew why Qi Jingqin was so good, he always faced any matter with a humble attitude.

Just when Qin Yuandao was about to say a few polite words, they unconsciously arrived at the city gate, although they were separated by the city gate, they could still hear the shouts of refugees outside the gate, they wanted to live, they wanted the court to give them a way to live, Qinzhou Suizhou had become a dead city, but they escaped, they came to the feet of the Son of Heaven, wanting to find a way to live for themselves and their families.

Qin Yuandao frowned, this is also the first time he has faced these refugees, as the prime minister, there are too many things that need to be taken care of, and there are a lot of things in the imperial court recently, several border towns are still doing post-war reconstruction, and it is rare for the Ministry of Industry to take out people to build Chongxian Fang at this time, there are many official documents and documents that are being sent to Shangjing layer by layer, after the emperor is seriously ill and falls, these things are logical to let the prime minister personally do it, it is in such a busy situation, Qin Yuandao still accompanied Qi Jingqin to the city gate.

Qin Yuandao knew that the refugees at the gate of the city were different from those officials around Qi Jingqin at ordinary times, although they could speak well, but after all, they were still reasonable, and the refugees at the gate of the city right now, when their lives were threatened, who would reason with you?

"Lord Wang, are you ready?" Qin Yuandao knew that Qi Jingqin had also never faced such an emotionally extreme person, but this was indispensable, as an emperor in the future, he had to know how to come from the people and understand the people's feelings in order to go further, but now, Qin Yuandao asked Qi Jingqin this question, not so much is he ready? It's better to say that it's harmless rather than afraid.

Qi Jingqin solemnly frowned, looked at the city gate in front of him, his eyes became a little resolute, listening to their overwhelming momentum, and because they were weak, they didn't dare to touch them, and those refugees became even more arrogant because of this.

"Lord Jing! Lord Qin! Liang Liang leaned on the city wall, listening to them shouting here, he was distressed and helpless.1 I didn't know what to do, but when I saw Qi Jingqin and Qin Yuandao, I suddenly came to the spirit, and I knew in my heart that they were here to relieve the siege.

Liang Fengmian heard this voice, and hurriedly went to the edge of the city wall to lean down and look down, after seeing Qi Jingqin and Qin Yuandao, he was also relieved, he knew that when they came to the city gate at this time, they must have said something to these refugees, he beckoned: "Come up!" ”

Qin Yuandao and Qi Jingqin glanced at each other, and then went to the city wall, they also had the intention of going to the city wall, on the city wall, standing high and seeing far away, they could see all the refugees, and they could also let the refugees see themselves, and then it was also a kind of condescending psychological effect, which could be better deterrent.

After Qin Yuandao and Qi Jingqin walked to the city wall, Liang Fengmian arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang." ”

"General Liang doesn't need to be polite." Since Qi Jingqin came up, his mind has been completely focused on the refugees under the city wall.

Standing on the city wall, his vision can become broader, the more things he sees, the more things he knows, and the greater the responsibility he has to bear.

The cry became clearer and sounded in Qi Jingqin's ears, and he looked at the thousands of refugees under the city wall without blinking.

Qi Jingqin seems to have been forced to accept the world in this way, inside the city wall is the quiet Shangjing Imperial City, and outside the city wall is the noisy world.

Qi Jingqin walked to the edge of the city wall with wide eyes in astonishment, Qin Yuandao and Liang Fengmian glanced at each other, and planned to step forward to stop him, but in the end they didn't do it, they all knew that these two sons of the emperor had grown up in the imperial city of Shangjing since they were children, and they had never observed the people's feelings.

Not to mention Qi Jingyang, even Qi Jingqin usually goes to the state capital, but he is just doing it, where do the local officials dare to 7 let the inspecting ministers see what the real state capital looks like?

The people under the city are also the people of the Celestial Empire, and their ancestors have lived on this land for generations, and they have the same salary, but there are two people separated by a wall.

On the city wall, Qi Jingqin was wearing a purple straight court dress, with a gold silk spider stripe of the same color around his waist, his black hair was tied up and fixed with a gilt crown, his slender body was quite straight, and the whole person was handsome and innate noble, still like a fairy, which made people feel unattainable and low to dust.

His skin is like a snowdrift, and the fine willows are swaying in the wind. The delicate skin can be broken by blowing, and under the bridge of the nose, the lips are shining like cherry blossoms, and the hair hangs down like a black waterfall. The most impressive thing is the eyes, a pair of calm, clear, and transparent eyes that see through the world.

The robe hugged the body, vaguely outlining the ethereal lines, looming in a trance, unable to see clearly, the way is unknown, and the front of him seems to be a morning mist rising in the valley, tangible and substantial.

In the black eyes, a trace of vicissitudes of life and pity were revealed, as if he had seen through all the vicissitudes of the world, melted into the autumn of ten thousand years, disdained the affairs of the world, and watched the vicissitudes of life coldly.

The heroic facial features are clear and three-dimensional, and a pair of azure blue eyes shimmer with an unknown light. The sexy thin lips are tightly pursed, and the handsome face curve is very resolute. The sturdy body of nearly one hundred and eight has enviable perfect proportions.

He stood in front of everyone with his eyes on the crowd, his eyes on all beings, he stood with one hand on the edge of the city wall, standing in the wind, the wind blew his purple straight court dress, and in the sun, his gilt crown of hair shone brightly.

The refugees under the city walls focused all their eyes on him, and slowly stopped crying, as if they were looking at who this person was and why he was here.

Liang Fengmian and Qin Yuandao glanced at each other, and then also stood behind Qi Jingqin.

Qi Jingqin looked at their eyes, except for the last time he saw such a weak crowd on the battlefield, this was the first time he saw such a helpless look, no one forced them with swords, guns and crossbows, and no one wanted to kill them, but they were so desperate, revealing weakness and fear in their bones.

"Who is he?" Someone asked in a whisper.

Suddenly, the crowd exploded like a pot and began to talk - "Who is this?" Will it be the Emperor? ”

"I heard that the emperor is already over half a hundred years old, and he is not so young."

"That will be Xiangye? Does the court ignore us? ”

“……”

"It's the prince! The only people in this world who can wear a golden crown are the nobles of the royal family! I don't know who in the 7 crowd shouted, and everyone began to revel.

"Lord Wang?! It's the king! The royal family finally remembered us?! ”

"Yes! Rajah!! Rajah!! Help us! ”

Qi Jingqin looked at this, his hand slowly clenched into a fist, and his brows furrowed even tighter-why is it like this?
