Zhao Zhen has been living a very nourishing life recently.

Since the Queen Mother handed over power, the relationship between mother and son has finally eased.

So for a moment, Zhao Zhen was quite grateful to that Chen Xin, if it weren't for this incident, the relationship between him and the Queen Mother would not have eased so quickly.

Zhao Yunrang entered the palace in this peaceful atmosphere.

The two childhood playmates chatted for a long time, and Zhao Zhen was not even afraid of taboos to leave him in the palace for a meal, but during the banquet, Zhao Yunrang looked at the delicious delicacies on the table but refused to put down his chopsticks.

"What? Are you not used to eating these dishes? ”

Zhao Zhen said half-jokingly: "In the past, you always said how wonderful the outside world is, and I always yearn for it, it seems that you are eating too much in the Qin family, and the food here can't get into your mouth......"

"No, Your Majesty......"

Zhao Yunrang shook his head with a somewhat lonely face, "The outside world is not exciting at all. ”

His strange appearance made Zhao Zhen a little confused.

It's a good thing to start a business, but he looks worried.

"When did it happen?"

Zhao Zhen's expression gradually became serious, and the emperor's keen sense of smell made him feel that Zhao Yunrang was hiding something from him.

Zhao Yunrang hesitated a little, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister and you have lived in Bianliang since you were a child, you are in the palace, and the minister is outside the palace...... It may seem different, but it's not different. ”

What is the ......

Xu Mao, who was serving on the side, had his eyelids jumping slightly.

What does it mean to be 'no different'? One is the emperor and the other is the king of the county, how can it be different!

It's taboo!

As soon as he wanted to make a reminder, Zhao Yunrang continued: "Your Majesty, Qin Wei often said. The Great Song Dynasty is now a false prosperity...... He said that everywhere the ministers could see was beautiful, so it was natural to think that the Great Song Dynasty was like this everywhere...... The poverty that the minister can imagine is that he can't eat, but ......"

Zhao Zhen's face gradually became serious.

He knew what Zhao Yunrang wanted to say, but he didn't want to hear these words.

Because the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, if it can't be improved, it will only increase the annoyance after listening to it.

"Your Majesty......"

Zhao Yunrang said seriously: "Have you ever seen a refugee?" The kind of real refugees...... Do you know what they eat? On the way here, the minister saw ......"

"What?"

Zhao Zhen was not interested, but still asked.

"Lice! Foot skin! And the wall skin...... Just outside the Nanxun Gate, at the foot of the most prosperous national capital of my Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Yunrang, who has been pretending to be a gentleman for many years, has rarely been serious, the environment he was in before did not allow him to be serious, but now it is different, after Zhao Zhen takes power, there is no need for him to pretend anymore.

But if there are some righteous people in the Great Song Dynasty, shouldn't they tell the emperor about this situation?

Over the years, he has been messing around with Qin Wei, and after a long time, people have changed, becoming cynical, worrying about the country and the people, and becoming less like a powerful person......

"Out of the Palace......"

Zhao Zhen couldn't hold the chopsticks anymore, he ignored Xu Maoze, who was about to admonish, and got up and went back to the dormitory.

Changed into a plain cotton shirt that was almost the same as that of the poor, and under the leadership of a group of disguised relatives, Zhao Zhen and Zhao Yunrang appeared outside the Nanxun Gate.

……

"What did you say to Zhao Yunrang?!"

After Ye Shuangchou learned the news of Zhao Zhen's departure from the palace, the Imperial City Division immediately controlled the Nanxun Gate within a radius of ten miles, and after ensuring that nothing went wrong, he did not protect Zhao Zhen closely, but now the Qin family.

"What?"

Qin Wei got up just now.

He looked at Ye Shuangchou with a frosty face.

"This morning, Zhao Yun let him enter the palace, and then he told His Majesty about the refugees outside the city, and then His Majesty left the palace...... You're looking for death! ”

Ye Shuangchou's face was terrifyingly cold, making people's scalp tingle.

Qin Wei frowned, his face full of innocence, "I didn't say anything......

Ye Shuangchou let out a cruel laugh and said coldly: "If Your Majesty makes any mistakes, the Qin family will wait to destroy the clan!" ”

"You scared the widow with a big bird?"

was inexplicably threatened, Qin Wei's temper also came up, and he suddenly got up and said: "I didn't say anything, where Your Majesty wants to go, it's not something that you can control, your Imperial City Division's duty is to protect Your Majesty, not to threaten an irrelevant person......"

The cold air in the air instantly increases several times.

Ye Shuangchou's face was already ugly, and his left hand turned into a fist and rose slightly.

Qiao Feng moved instantly, stepped in front of Qin Wei in one step, and reached into his arms to take out the crossbow.

"It's better not you, or ......"

Ye Shuangchou glanced at Qiao Feng and turned to leave.

Ma's!

Qin Wei kicked over the stool in front of him with a cold face, and scolded: "What kind of nerves does Ye Shuangchou have...... Your Majesty will leave the palace when he leaves the palace, there are so many forbidden troops in Bianliang City, is it possible that there are still people who dare to assassinate the king and kill him? ”

Saying that, he still hurriedly summoned Daniel Zhang and the others to rush outside the Nanfu Gate.

Anyone can have an accident in these years, but Zhao Zhen can't.

Otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty, which had just stabilized, would fall apart in an instant.

……

Outside the Nanxun Gate, Zhao Zhen stood not far away, silently looking at the fire burning in the pavilion.

But the faces of those victims were a little difficult to see.

Zhao Zhen subconsciously looked up, the sky was gray, and the warm midday sun did not shine on these refugees, but looked a little cold.

The pedestrians all hid far away, and the victims sat around the fire, no one making a sound.

Those with weird smiles on their faces, not joy, very weird.

Zhao Zhen saw the woman who caught lice in Zhao Yunrang's dictation, she caught it and stuffed it into her mouth, and every time she bit it, she could hear a snap.

The child's face was dark, and he didn't move at all, as if his life had stood still.

There were also a few black-faced refugees squatting by the city wall, clasping the wall skin little by little with their fingers, and their eyes kept looking around, for fear that the official of the inspection department would appear.

Qin Wei didn't know when he came to Zhao Zhen's side, glanced at Zhao Zhen, who was a little confused, and explained softly: "Generally, the walls of the big city are made of glutinous rice mixed with clay powder, which can satisfy the stomach, but it will swell the stomach...... It's very uncomfortable. ”

Zhao Zhen subconsciously turned his head and laughed in silence: "Qin Qing even knows this, and he has suffered before he thinks about it, I ......"

Qin Wei felt a little in his heart, and said seriously: "It's not Your Majesty's fault. ”

True.

This is not Zhao Zhen's fault, or rather, it is not the fault of a certain emperor, but a problem accumulated by the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhenzong once sealed Zen on Mount Tai, which was enough to overwhelm the Great Song Dynasty for decades.

Later, various sacrificial ceremonies, the people could live here to buckle the wall skin, which was already in love.

"I used to think that it might not be easy for refugees in the world, but as long as the imperial court provides disaster relief in time, they can always live, but now it seems that it ......"

Zhao Zhen was a little frustrated.

This scene really knocked out the foundation in his heart.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg......"

Since this day has finally come, Qin Wei no longer hides it, he decided to let Zhao Zhen re-understand the world, let him take a good look at the real Song people's livelihood.

"These refugees at least have a wall skin to buckle, but those people who are far away from the border, they can't even find weeds......

Zhao Zhen sighed: "It's the end of this year, is Curry empty?" ”

It is impossible to be empty, and if it is empty, the whole Bianliang will be in turmoil.

This is just a small trick by some people, reminding Zhao Zhen: Your Majesty, look for yourself, those disaster victims are wandering around the capital, looking tangled, right?

Tangled?

It's right to be entangled, let's go back to the old system and organize all the victims into an army.

Qin Wei knew it in his heart, but he felt that this was an opportunity.

Aren't you trying to force Your Majesty to repeat the old system?

Then so-and-so will take this opportunity to let His Majesty see what the real status quo of the Great Song Dynasty looks like!

Zhao Zhen saw it with his own eyes today, so his first reaction was sad, "The victims who should have been resettled actually appeared in the capital in a grand manner, which shows that the local officials are derelict in their duties, and this matter is not dealt with harshly, and there will be people who will follow suit......"

This is the opposite of the extreme.

These refugees appeared in Bianliang, and the original intention of those people was to make Zhao Zhen retreat.

It's just that they didn't expect that Zhao Yunrang would be so bold as to take Zhao Zhen out of the palace for a private visit...... Now, the disaster is in front of Zhao Zhen, so his first reaction is the incompetence of the imperial court!

As for repeating the old system...... Treating the symptoms but not the root cause is just a void in the end.

Zhao Zhen returned to the palace in despair, and immediately convened a meeting of the Zaifu.

"Have you heard about the victims outside the city?"

Zhao Zhen didn't talk nonsense for the first time, and went straight to the point, which shows how angry he is at the moment.

Your Majesty knew so quickly?

Lu Yijian organized the language in his heart, and then said: "The minister has also heard about this matter, saying that those refugees have nowhere to settle, so they fled in all directions. ”

What this means is that the imperial court has abolished the system of recruiting and incorporating forbidden troops for the victims, so there is nowhere to settle the victims.

Lao Lu, you are not kind!

This matter is obviously man-made, but he looks like he doesn't know it, and he still studies it decently.

Zhao Zhen's face was a little displeased, and he said lightly: "I went outside the city today......"

No way!

His Majesty is out of the palace?

Several people looked at each other......

They were weighing Zhao Zhen's intention to leave the palace this time, and they were also hesitating about what attitude to deal with this matter.

"The people are living a very hard life, but the government and the central government are not doing anything."

Zhao Zhen ignored the shocked expressions of the Zaifu, and continued: "This is just Bianliang, what if it is other places...... Didn't those people have no way to live? ”

The imperial court allocates so much disaster relief food every year, but it is eaten by dogs?

Do you have to join the army to live?

Apparently not!

"Message! Tomorrow summons Qin Wei to enter the palace, I want to go to the homes of those disaster victims, let him choose a good location in advance, and no love and malpractice will occur! ”

It's the fear that someone will rehearse it in advance.

Zhao Zhen was angry, and he scared the Zaifu half to death with one sentence.

"Your Majesty......"

Without waiting for them to admonish, Zhao Zhen said coldly: "This Great Song Dynasty is my world, what are you afraid of?" Are you afraid that I will not be able to come back from being assassinated by evil people? ”

Forehead......

Zhao Zhen, who speaks so harshly, is really the first time everyone has seen him.
