"Why should the princess be kind to a woman? Does it matter whether those people live or die? Xuanyuan's land is defended by soldiers, what can they do?

Those people outside, many of them are prisoners who have violated the law of Xuanyuan, it is winter, the stone factory in the anticline mountain is closed, they can wander around the city, if it is spring, they all have to go back to the mountains to work, people who will die sooner or later, what do they care about? ”

"If the general is willing to borrow, I will pay it back three times in the future!"

"This is against military discipline, and my subordinates can't obey orders!"

"What if I buy it at a high price?"

"I'm sorry, all the violations of military discipline, the subordinate can't do anything!" After Trull finished speaking, he hugged her fists, turned around and left the inner court, and when he went out of the door, he suddenly said in a voice that others could hear:

"I thought what was the matter, I was so naïve, that I wanted to borrow military rations? The military salaries issued by the imperial court are not enough, and they still want to borrow military rations, and they still want to let people live? ”

When Tong Xiaowu heard this, her brows furrowed, and Xuanyuan Yuchen stepped forward and hugged her shoulder: "Don't be sad, let's find another way!" ”

"What's going on in this North State? It's difficult everywhere, it's hard to walk an inch, not to mention internal and external troubles, and you don't even pay your military salary? If this is against the sky on the side of the military department, can we still get by? ”

Tong Xiaowu was also angry, and he didn't know what the imperial court thought, in the entire Xuanyuan, only there was a riot in the north, but he didn't support it at all, and how to win the battle.

"It's not as simple as we think!" Xuanyuan Yuchen opened the door curtain and looked at Trull who was far away, his fists clenched.

Tong Xiaowu saw his expression and suddenly realized: "You mean that the imperial court has already paid the general's salary?" ”

"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Yuchen nodded heavily, "In the hands of Trull and Qu Boyi, the biggest king of this northern state is not me, before I came, they were the biggest king of this northern state." ”

"No wonder the imperial court asked Trul to go to the west to guard the border passes, but he didn't do it, it turned out that he was the emperor of the soil here." In this way, some things can be explained, what is for revenge, what is for the interests of the country, now it seems, it may all be false.

"Lady doesn't know, right? Trull's wife is Qu Boyi's sister......"

Tong Xiaowu looked at him in surprise, "They still have this relationship?" ”

She had been asking people all morning and had not received any such news, and now it seemed that the situation here was more complicated than she had known.

"Not only that, Trul is also the general of Zhenbei who was once rewarded by the emperor, and Beiming also has a connection with them, and now there is a popular saying in Beizhou: officials are not officials, bandits are not bandits, south is not south, north is not north, there is wind in the anticline mountain, and there are ghosts and ...... in Beizhou City"

Hearing this, the back of Tong Xiaowu's head hurt, "Then how are we going on here?" Not to mention the distance, those refugees at the door can't just look at it? Although I am not a kind-hearted person, if these people die at our door, we will not have a hard time in the future. ”

Xuanyuan Yuchen turned around and touched Tong Xiaowu's hair, "Don't worry, we also have our own people, the Wuximen side has already set up a distribution in Black Wolf County, and it is also a border pass over there, but Dabajia Town, which is three hundred miles south of Black Wolf County, is a trading town, we can go there to sell grain, and then let the officers and soldiers of Black Wolf County help transport it back." ”

When Tong Xiaowu heard this, she nodded, "I forgot, my father-in-law is a prince, and he can mobilize troops and officers and soldiers, even if they are the emperor of the soil, they are not as big as my minister-in-law in name." ”

"Of course, I'm afraid I can't transfer the officers and soldiers of this northern state, as for the Black Wolf County, no problem!" When Xuanyuan Yufeng heard this, he was quite useful, and hugged her happily.

"Don't worry about opening the door and giving porridge, you will let people buy the grain in Beizhou City first, and take care of him three seven twenty-one, and live one day a day!"

"Yes, Xianggong!" Although Beizhou is not big, there are also a few grain stores, buy some of them first, and then make up some of them from the house, so that the refugees outside can live at least one day today, and she will think of other ways tomorrow.

In the evening, the soup was given, but the gate of the palace did not dare to open, and the side door was guarded by a family, and then some local strong refugees were asked to help, and the porridge shed was set up.

Tong Xiaowu stood in the shed to help cook porridge, looking at the people dressed in tatters outside, with mixed tastes in her heart.

Mama Zhang was helping on the side, looking at her sideways, a smile leaked from her face, the princess said every day that she was not a kind person, and always said that she did things with a purpose, in fact, she was the most soft-hearted, and she was most unaccustomed to the misery and helplessness of this world.

The crowd outside was a little messy at first, and there were even pictures of wanting to snatch food, but after on-site maintenance, everyone settled down, lined up, and waited for the soup kitchen.

Time goes by little by little, the night comes, the north wind is howling, the firewood on the stove is burning vigorously, the rice porridge in the pot has been turned over and flowered, and then slowly boiled for a period of time, you can open the porridge.

"The north wind is howling, the war drums are shaking, the Beizhou road is long, the Xuan River is turbulent, the winter is cold for half a year, the war horses are stationed in the north, the soldiers are scattering blood, fighting thousands of miles of wilderness, when to build a great cause, Huanfeng Guan Yongan ......"

Tong Xiaowu was stirring the porridge pot, and the queue behind him suddenly sang, at first it was a low and slow singing, but slowly, it turned into a high-spirited singing......

She turned her head slowly, lifted the curtain of the porridge shack, and looked outside, the refugees were singing in unison with their heads bowed, and although they buried their cheeks, the singing was deafening, reaching into the sky.

Snowflakes drifted in the sky, and large swaths of them fell, reflecting the song, which was particularly majestic.

The people in the palace looked at this scene in amazement, all the refugees in Beizhou here actually sang this song.

Yesterday afternoon, when they entered the city, the images of these people throwing stones and clods of earth at them had all disappeared.

In their eyes, these refugees who have no clothes and no food, these people who have lived in Beizhou all the year round and have not chosen to flee, have become extremely tall.

Tong Xiaowu couldn't hold back, tears fell, she covered her mouth, looked at the scene in front of her, and said that the poor mountains and bad waters came out of the people, it turned out that it was not, they also prayed to serve the country, and they also prayed for the peace of the country and the people, but sometimes they were really powerless.

Tong Xiaowu turned around and returned to the porridge shed, turned around and wiped her tears, looked at the refugees who were helping to chop firewood, and asked, "What is this song called?" You all sing? ”

"Back to the princess, we will all sing it, this song is called Yibei Han, it is a song rewritten by the former general Xuanyuan, and later General Xuanyuan died on the battlefield, this song flowed down and has been sung for many years." The refugee replied.
