The gates of the capital were closed, dozens of bloody heads hung high on the city walls, and thousands of displaced people were trapped outside the city.

They traveled thousands of miles, thinking that when they came to the capital, they would let the rulers who lived in the temples see with their own eyes what kind of misery their subjects were in, and they would be saved, and those corrupt officials who harmed the people would be punished.

But he didn't want to refuse to accept them even in the capital.

On the city wall, the imperial city garrison is wearing armor and holding sharp arrows in the crossbow, the prince has an order, and the trespasser is dead!

Yan Zhao watched the skeletal and dying refugees fall in piles on the root of the city wall, and his heart ached as his eyes returned to dead silence.

"Brother Huang..." his throat rolled slightly, and he finally said nothing.

These refugees have more or less black and red festering wounds on their bodies, and most of them are infected with epidemics, and if the epidemic is not controlled, the gates of Aa City are opened and they are allowed to enter, and the entire capital will not be spared.

But if you let them die at your feet and in front of your eyes, how can you bear it?

"Brother Huang, from the folk medicine workshop in the capital to the Hanlin Medical Hospital and the Taiyi Bureau, there are countless doctors, why not give some food first, and then let the doctors explore the cure."

"Seventh brother, these refugees must die, you should know better than me."

Yan Jun's royal phoenix eyes stared indifferently at the refugees who were groaning in pain under the city, the words spit out from his thin lips were so cold, he raised his hand slightly, and the imperial city garrison that received the order was aimed at the refugees under the city, ready to attack.

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave an order, these refugees would die in a rain of swords like meteors.

"Wait!" At the last moment, Yan Zhao shouted coldly.

But those imperial city garrisons obeyed Yan Junyu's orders, and did not pay attention to Yan Zhao's drinking, and the sword rain did not stop and shot overwhelmingly towards the dying refugees under the city, without the power to resist.

The cry shook the sky, Yan Zhao looked at these refugees who came to the capital after a thousand hardships, but finally died under the hands of the imperial city garrison, and asked coldly: "Dare to ask the imperial brother, now these refugees, if you come to a hundred, you kill a hundred, come a thousand, you kill a thousand, if you come to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, you will also slaughter them all?" "

"That's it!" Yan Junyu watched Yan Zhao's eyes as warm as jade seeping blood and ice, unmoved, and ordered the imperial city garrison to continue shooting arrows and slaughter the refugees under the city.

"Brother Huang, you're crazy!" Yan Zhao's eyes were scarlet, and he tried his best to keep his senses.

"Seventh brother, instead of feeling sorry for these refugees here, why don't you think about how to raise food and go to the south for disaster relief, my father's order has come down, do you want to stay in the capital and give up the thousands of hungry people in the south for these thousands of refugees who will surely die of the epidemic?"

"These refugees are walking all the way north from the southern states and counties, passing through many states, counties, villages and towns along the way, do you really think that killing these people will stop the epidemic?"

"Don't bother with the seventh brother." Yan Junyu's voice was as cold as quenched ice.

Yan Zhao stopped arguing with him, turned around and went to the palace with Xun Yu, and bumped into Gu Xiang, who came for the refugee.

He was now in his seventies, still with a sharp mind and steady steps, and bowed down to the castle tower.

With his current authoritative position in Dayan, when he saw Emperor Yongzhao, he only used to bow his body to show that he did not need to make such a big gift in the face of a prince like him who had no real power in the court, which shows that this person is thoughtful and does not leak.

With such an opponent with almost no shortcomings, it is no wonder that the father and emperor have been in camp for decades, and they have not been able to completely uproot the Gu family.

"Your Highness, how are the refugees?" Gu Xiang coughed lightly and asked Yan Junyu, who was standing in a tall building and staring at the distant mountains.

Hearing this, he turned sideways slightly, his ink-colored robe fluttered in the wind, and the wind and snow in his phoenix eyes did not have the slightest temperature: "As you wish!" "

"This is not true, and it should be as His Highness wishes. Ahem... These refugees are enough to help His Highness win the hearts and minds of the people, sweep away dissidents and secure the position of the prince, and after a hundred years, the Gu clan will be carefree..."

Yan Junyu was accustomed to seeing him worrying about the people's worries in front of him, and seeking benefits from the people later, and his Gu family's scheming face, and he had heard enough of the words that were deeply fetters between him and the Gu family.

He suddenly interrupted: "Gu Xiang, the city is high and windy, it is better to go back to the house earlier." "

With that, he strode around.

Now, he is slaughtering the refugees who came to the capital with thunderous means, not only to control the epidemic in the capital, but also to shock and intimidate the refugees in the south to stop going north and wait for relief from the imperial court.

If these large numbers of refugees who are likely to be infected with the epidemic are allowed to wander around, the whole country will be in danger.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Cheng Qi, who was following him: "Send someone to find a living mouth." "

·

In the Dayan Palace, in the Chongming Palace, Emperor Yongzhao sat on the imperial case, kneading his eyebrows impatiently.

The civil and military ministers at the head of the city have already made a fuss in order to raise grain for the relief of the victims, and they are unwilling to take the lead for the people to take out the surplus grain in the house, but clamoring for Emperor Yongzhao to issue an edict to collect grain from other states and counties.

But not long ago, Dayan levied an emergency tax on the grounds of resisting the attacks of the barbarians in the north, and now it is only in May that the tax will be levied again, which will inevitably arouse the resentment of the people.

These officials cried worse than one another, and Emperor Yongzhao didn't know that this group of moths was so rich, but he didn't want to take it out.

It's ridiculous that Dayan selects talents by imperial examinations, thinking that they were born in the township, they will be able to understand the people's livelihood and suffering, who knows that they can cross, and if they don't cross others, they have become moths who loot the people's wealth and abuse power.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongzhao's temples jumped suddenly, and he picked up the fold on the imperial case in his heart angrily, and smashed it hard: "Shut up!" A bunch of useless things! Asking you about the good way to govern the country, I can't tell the reason for a long time, and I ask you to ask for some money and food to help the victims, but the excuse is like a river gushing, and the brain is not used to protect the people in Anguo, but is used to drill camps for profit! If you can't find a way to raise money and food today, then it's better to dismiss your official and go home to farm! "

Lord Liu and Lord Zhang, who were standing close, were unfortunately affected, and Emperor Yongzhao's strength was so great that the two people who smashed straight fell to the ground, and the audience was silent for a while, and the needles could be heard.

The courtiers realized that there was always a smile on weekdays, and the soft-spoken Emperor Yongzhao was so angry that he lowered his head and pretended to be a quail.

Emperor Yongzhao saw that these old fritters had to be dotted one by one, and he was very angry and said: "You guys! You-"

Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground, and the eunuch who was accompanying him screamed and helped Emperor Yongzhao up: "Come on, come on!" Your Majesty fainted! "

Yan Zhao entered the palace and heard that Emperor Yongzhao had fainted in the court, so he hurried forward to visit.

In the dormitory, all the princes and princesses, as well as the concubines, knelt under the bed, and his mother and concubine were still squeezed into a place, crying and mourning one by one, and those who didn't know thought that their father had died.

Lord Sun of the Hospital of the Hospital persuaded with a bitter face: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has been depressed recently, and you need to be calm and not angry, so it is better to disperse earlier, the palace is ventilated and breathable, which is conducive to Your Majesty's recovery." "

The concubine was worried about His Majesty's body and said softly, "Sisters, why don't you step back first?" "

The concubines looked surprisingly unanimous, glanced at the concubine coldly, and then knelt in place without saying a word.

The queen was not present, according to her position, the highest status here was his mother Concubine Wen Guifei, but no one listened to his mother's words.

Concubine Wen Guifei saw this, a little embarrassed, she entered the palace late but was deeply favored by Emperor Yongzhao, the emperor and queen were not harmonious, and 29 days of the 30th in January were spent in Qiwu Palace, and it was rare to be hated by others.

However, she lives in Qiwu Palace, and is well protected by Emperor Yongzhao, she rarely sees these sisters on weekdays, and she has a lot less worries without having to deal with them.

Now that the emperor fainted and rested in her Qiwu Palace, these sisters rushed over hurriedly when they got the news, for fear that Emperor Yongzhao would not be able to be attentive when he woke up.

Concubine Wen looked at these women who didn't care about His Majesty's body at all and was a little angry: "Sisters, go back first, Your Majesty will definitely send someone to inform you when you wake up." "
