"Your Majesty......"

Hearing Zhao Chongyuan's words, Wang Lishi was shocked, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhao Chongyuan raising his hand: "Lux, how many years have you been with me." ”

"The slave maid entered the palace at the age of twelve, and after staying in the palace for two years, she was sent by the first emperor to serve Your Majesty, and it has been forty years since the twenty-second year of today's Yuan Dynasty."

Hearing Zhao Chongyuan mention this matter, Wang Lishi said with a look of reminiscence.

"It's been forty years before I know it."

Zhao Chongyuan sighed with emotion.

Forty years ago, Wang Lishi was fourteen years old, and he was only twelve years old, and at that time he was a master and servant, rather a playmate.

But in a blink of an eye, both of them became old men with half of their bodies in the ground.

"I wrote an edict, after returning to the palace, someone will hand it over to you, you put it behind the plaque of the Heart Cultivation Hall for me, and when I die, you will take it out."

Zhao Chongyuan suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Lishi was shocked and looked at Zhao Chongyuan in disbelief.

Zhao Chongyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while, it's just that there are some things that need to be mentioned and some preparations need to be made." ”

However, Wang Lishi's eyes were slightly red and said: "Your Majesty, don't scare the old slave, the old slave is a eunuch, and the relatives outside the palace are also dead, if you have three long and two short, the old slave will go down to accompany you and go down to serve you." ”

"Look at you."

Zhao Chongyuan scolded with a smile: "There are many people who want me to die, but few people can get their wish, so you can't get your wish." ”

"And you, Your Majesty?"

Wang Lishi wiped his tears, got up and looked at Zhao Chongyuan.

Zhao Chongyuan shook his head and didn't speak, and after a while, he said coldly: "Everything you should say has been said, what to do in the future is her problem, and you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Lishi's face changed again, and he quickly bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

He could naturally hear who Zhao Chongyuan was talking about, and he also understood the meaning of the warning in Zhao Chongyuan's words.

"Alright, get up."

Zhao Chongyuan patted Wang Lishi and didn't say much.

Wang Lishi also knelt respectfully on the side.

The carriage was still moving slowly.

Drive from the inner city to the outer city.

As the carriage continued to drive towards the outer city, the bustle on the side of the road gradually receded, and before you knew it, there were more and more refugees on both sides of the road in ragged clothes and begging.

From time to time, you can still see the owner of the roadside shop driving the men to drive away the refugees, and if the refugees do not leave, they will be beaten in the street by the host's family.

"It should be like this, then it is appropriate..."

In the carriage, Zhao Chongyuan pushed the curtain with one hand and looked out the window quietly, the expression in his eyes revealing complexity.

In fact, he was reluctant to leave the palace, nor was he willing to face all this.

Because seeing this tragic scene all shows his failure as an emperor.

Even if he has worked hard all these years and does not dare to slack off, but so what?

The tragic scenes in front of him all proved to him his failure to govern internal affairs over the years.

Let's just say that the disaster of Linyi only knew when the displaced people entered Yingtian.

However, Linyi is hundreds of miles away from Yingtian, and it takes a day and a night to speed up the whip, such a long distance.

There are so many refugees who can survive to Yingtian, you can imagine how many victims are in Linyi locally, or around Linyi.

And how many people died along the way?

"Your Majesty..."

Wang Lishi opened his mouth, wanting to comfort, but was interrupted by Zhao Chongyuan.

Zhao Chongyuan shook his head and didn't speak, his eyes, which were already slightly cloudy, were full of complexity.

And just like that, the carriage went all the way.

How long did it take.

How many refugees gathered along the way.

Zhao Chongyuan couldn't remember it anymore.

There is only deep self-blame.

Heaven punishes me, why bother the people?

And the reason why there are so many refugees in Yingtian City at the moment is not that the government of Yingtian City is incompetent and will not focus on governance, but will only make a fuss at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

It's that they also want to govern, but unfortunately the number of government miscellaneous servants is limited, and it has already taken a huge amount of energy to drive out the refugees in the inner city, and they can't draw people to drive out the refugees in the outer city.

Walking and walking.

The carriage came to a sudden halt.

"Your Majesty, it's here."

Wang Lishi glanced at the outside of the carriage, turned around, and said respectfully.

Zhao Chongyuan nodded slightly, lifted the curtain and glanced at it.

In the distance, Zhao Dingzheng took Zhang San, Lu Tao, Niu Budou and others to build a porridge shed on the side of the road.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yan is virtuous."

Wang Lishi praised.

Listening to this praise, Zhao Chongyuan's gloomy face rarely showed a smile.

"Do you want the old slave to call Lord Yan over?"

Wang Lishi asked tentatively.

"No need, let's go."

Zhao Chongyuan thought slightly, and finally shook his head.

When he left the palace this time, he mainly took a look at the situation of the victims in Yingtian City, so as to have a rough judgment of the disaster situation in Linyi.

However, just when the carriage was about to turn around and return to the palace.

Zhao Ding's voice suddenly sounded from outside the car union.

"Father."

Listening to this voice, Zhao Chongyuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously lifted the curtain, but saw that Zhao Ding didn't know when he was already standing in front of the carriage.

Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding with interest: "How did you know that I was here." ”

Zhao Ding glanced at the carriage that Zhao Chongyuan was riding, and subconsciously grinned.

Do you still need to see this?

The last time I went to Youzhou, wasn't it this carriage that I took.

But I didn't say it when I saw it.

Zhao Ding knew from the bottom of his heart that his own Lao Tzu was a thrifty character.

A pair of socks can be mended and mended.

To be honest, Zhao Ding also has admiration for this in his heart.

After all, in a dynasty that has lasted for three hundred years, the royal family and the people have long been derailed, and who knows the suffering of the people who are accustomed to living a life of fine clothes and fine food?

But on the contrary, my own Lao Tzu did it.

Zhao Ding deliberately diverted the topic, looked at the honest man in front of the carriage and smiled: "Naturally, I saw Hu Neiwei." ”

"See him?"

Zhao Chongyuan glanced at it with slanted eyes, beckoned and said, "Come up and take a walk with me." ”

"Wait."

Zhao Ding agreed, then turned around and ran towards the porridge shed, and it didn't take long for him to run back again.

"What are you doing?"

Watching Zhao Ding go and return, Zhao Chongyuan asked in surprise.

"I always have to explain."

Zhao Ding patted the dirt on his hand that he didn't know when, and then climbed into Zhao Chongyuan's carriage with a big grin.

"Yes."

Zhao Chongyuan laughed.

Then he waved his hand.

The parked carriage was back on the road.

Meanwhile.

Outside the city of Yingtian.

An estate outside the city.

A white-faced young man quickly turned over and dismounted, and ran towards the heavily guarded manor.
