Chapter 118: Divide the People and Eat
The fifth prince Xuanyuan Yulin wanted to say something to the second prince Xuanyuan Yuqi and the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen, but he saw that the eyes of the second prince and the third prince were both looking at a corner not far away at the same time.
The fifth prince, Xuanyuan Yulin, put away the words he was about to say, and followed the line of sight of the two of them to look at that place. I saw that a few refugees were eating not far away, and they were not afraid of being seen by the three of them. One of the refugee men, after also looking up at Xuanyuan Yuchen and the other three, continued to eat cannibal flesh.
Seeing this kind of scene, I had never seen it with my own eyes in the previous ten or twenty years, and for the fifth prince Xuanyuan Yulin, the complexity of his heart couldn't help but arise. What kind of circumstances could such an incredible thing happen in the world where their Xuanyuan royal family was in power...... To tell the truth, the three of them saw people displaced and starving and countless corpses along the way, although these were unbearable, but they were not angry and frightened.
The fifth prince wanted to step forward to question, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by the second prince Xuanyuan Yuqi on the side, and glanced at him slightly, signaling him not to care about this matter.
Judging from what they have seen and heard along the way in the past few days, perhaps, the flood in Yunzhou has happened long before the Yunzhou Taishou played the imperial court, and the time was not short, otherwise, if the flood occurred at the beginning, then the Yunzhou Taishou had already played, and they rushed all the way to Yunzhou at a non-stop speed as soon as possible, and the disaster would not have reached the point of dividing people and eating.
At this moment, they have already seen such a phenomenon before they reach the boundary of Yunzhou, so what will happen to Yunzhou, which is the most severely affected? They can't imagine.
And Xuanyuan Yuchen didn't speak, just looked at the scene in front of him coldly, and his heart was already angry, not angry at the fact that these refugees were divided and eaten, but angry at the fact that the Yunzhou Taishou did not report to the imperial court at the first time when the flood occurred in Yunzhou. At this time, Xuanyuan Yuchen was like a calm sea waiting for a tsunami to roar, gloomy, where was there still a little bit of 'gentle son unparalleled in the world'.
Even a prince like Xuanyuan Yulin, who is cynical in the open and in the dark, knows that this Yunzhou is flooded every year, and after the flood, it is reported to the imperial court every year to declare the allocation of funds and grain, and officials are sent down every time to provide disaster relief. The five princes couldn't understand why, even if this was the case, the people were still displaced and the people were struggling to make a living? Over the years, where did the silver taels and the money allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief marry? Whose pocket did it go into? He really wanted to ask the second and third princes about what he thought of, but after seeing Xuanyuan Yuchen's face, which might collapse at any time, he immediately gave up his thoughts. He still wants to return to Jinling City alive, he doesn't want to be eaten by others here. In the eyes of these refugees, it is estimated that they will not care who his identity is, and dare not eat him.
At this time, Xuanyuan Yuqi also pursed his lips, and he didn't know what it was like to look at this scene coldly like Xuanyuan Yuchen, and there was a faint sense of anger. Compared with the fifth prince Xuanyuan Yulin, he already had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only glance at Xuanyuan Yuchen fixedly, and then continue to look at the group of people who were still busy dividing and eating not far away.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Yuchen, who has never liked to be angry, has already been furious in his heart. The warmth of the face is no longer there, replaced by gloom. The anger in his heart was suppressed by the self-control he was proud of.
I saw Xuanyuan Yuchen frowning his originally handsome sword eyebrows, and looking at the refugees who were not far away from him with ice in his eyes. He naturally knew very well in his heart that the biggest fault of these refugees was not these refugees, but the sorrow of their superiors.
immediately glanced at the second prince Xuanyuan Yuqi, with a complicated look in his eyes, but Xuanyuan Yuqi could quickly understand the complexity in his eyes, and then according to Xuanyuan Yuchen's meaning, he went to inform Huang Zunyi, the Taishou of Yunzhou, to meet him at the gate of the city, and why these were blocked from entering the city, and then asked the second prince Xuanyuan Yuqi to arrange to summon the doctors and doctors in Yunzhou City, and then find a way to check the bodies of these refugees and displaced people one by one.
At this time, Xuanyuan Yuchen thought of far more things than Xuanyuan Yuqi and Xuanyuan Yulin thought of, he knew that the scene he saw at this time was just one example of this kind of flood, but it would definitely not be the last one, and if the problem was investigated, it would be absolutely terrible. What he is most worried about is that after the geological changes caused by the flood, it will easily cause a plague, and at that time, this Yunzhou may really become a purgatory on earth.
After Xuanyuan Yuchen heard about the flood in Yunzhou, he had the idea of going to Yunzhou in his heart, but what happened to Shangguan Lihua and the conflict with Shangguan Lihua in the Dingguo Mansion made him make up his mind. Since what you want to give to Shangguan Lihua is the entire splendid mountains and rivers as an appointment, how can you continue to be silent?
His indisputability and gentleness can't give Shangguan Lihua enough security, in this case, only when he takes power in the true sense of the word, it will not be possible for this kind of thing to exist again, and he will never allow such a mistake to occur again.
In fact, Yunzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River in the Yellow River Basin, and it stands to reason that the 'winter flood' in the north has not passed, and the 'Lingxin' in the south is impossible.
What's more, this Yunzhou has been like this year for many years, not only this year, asking the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief year after year, but in fact, after Huang Zunyi, the Taishou of Yunzhou, reported the disaster every year, he asked for funds to allocate grain, and water conservancy has been built to prevent floods. However, now it seems that not to mention any improvement and effect, I am afraid that it is still unknown whether these so-called water conservancy dams and other projects will be built in real materials, otherwise, the continuous floods in Yunzhou will not still be so flooded, causing the people of Yunzhou and the surrounding areas of Yunzhou to live in misery, like purgatory on earth.
Now it seems that the flooding caused by Yunzhou is not due to the flooding caused by the heavy precipitation in the rainy season every year, but more likely to be the reason, more likely because the Fenghuang Pass protective gate in the upper reaches of Yunzhou City collapsed, and the water poured down directly, so the disaster will be so serious.
However, since there is an annual allocation for disaster relief, and then a large amount of land is used to build water conservancy, if it cannot be said to be unbreakable, it is not so vulnerable.
