The eldest prince pondered and meditated all night, and finally came up with a bad move. Many princes were arrested in the previous palace change, and they didn't have time to deal with it before, and now is a good time to loot. Directly sent people to seize all the properties of these princes, and finally found 5 million taels in bits and pieces, ready to use them for disaster relief, of course, these 5 million taels are also the last amount that the prince said. Who knows if there is any confusion in the midst of this?

Those courtiers have an opinion on this, because in the process of raiding the house, the eldest prince did not let these people get involved at all, and you said that such a fat errand would not let them interfere, the eldest prince is going to cut them off!

Of course, it may not be that serious, but in the eyes of those people, if they don't take advantage of them, then they are at a loss. And the eldest prince not only got a large sum of money, but also had a good reputation. People are simply fame and fortune.

It's just that since those princes and ministers didn't intervene in the previous quarrel, then those princes and ministers need to be arranged in the next disaster relief, which is also a necessary balancing act. The eldest prince thought about it again and again, and finally compromised, he knew that once the silver taels for disaster relief were delivered to these greedy people, they would inevitably be exploited badly, but what could he do at this time? The court really can't find an official who can use it, and he has to blame the first emperor for this matter, who let the first emperor drive away so many officials in the court when he was still alive. Either they are killed, and most of the remaining people in the court are some regional Fengying people. And the only remaining Qingliu also left the capital under the persuasion of their degraded friends, no one knows where they went, everyone only knows that in the past ten years, a large number of officials left the capital and mysteriously disappeared.

As to who should bear the burden of disaster relief, the DPRK and China have been arguing for a long time, and each side wants to grab more resources for itself. In the end, they finally came to an end, and it had been several days since the blizzard happened. The people who were hungry and cold and fantasized that the imperial court would send people to help the disaster almost fell into despair.

In one corner, the house that used to be good is now collapsing. There is only a small corner left, which can still play a little shelter from the wind and cold, and in this corner is a pair of grandchildren who are in danger. The old man is over 60 years old, his hair is already white, even if he is shivering from the cold, he still opens his arms and hugs his granddaughter into his arms, wanting to use his shriveled body to give his granddaughter a little warmth.

The little child looks like he is four or five years old, and there is an unhealthy Hongyi on his face, which is frozen too hard, and his face is about to be frozen.

At this moment, the grandfather and grandson curled up under a tattered quilt, looking at the gloomy sky and the falling snowflakes, and fell into despair.

Alas, when will this blizzard stop? Because the snowstorm came at night, after it fell all night, the heavy snow pressed on the roof of the house, and the house collapsed without warning. Their family of six, young and old, survived her and this little grandchild. Needless to say, the meaning of grief is not to be said, but what the old man thinks about most now is how to let his only granddaughter live.

The weather was so cold that even if he barely picked up a torn quilt from the discard, it was still not enough to protect against the cold. What's more, the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky not only covered the houses, trees, and pedestrians on the roads, but also weighed down their food.

Even if they could find food, how could they cook food in such a cold weather, with snowflakes constantly falling in the sky, and even the fire could hardly rise, and the firewood was all wet. They were in desperate need of a sip of hot soup.

"Grandma, I'm cold."

"Girl, let's bear with it, okay? Bear with us a little longer, and someone will come to our rescue. If it's cold, get closer to grandma, and we won't get cold if we get closer. ”

The old man held the child tightly in his arms, his voice was calm, but there was a numb dead silence in his eyes. Her left leg was broken, and she is now unconscious, and I don't know if it has been lost. But she is already the only adult in the family, so she can't panic herself, but let her little granddaughter worry and be afraid, right?

So he had to be strong, and now that everyone was hungry like this, she was really worried that if her little granddaughter went out, she wouldn't be able to come back. Don't test what a person can do in an extremely hungry and cold environment, it will only leave you dumbfounded.

The old man has lived for many years, so he never dared to think of people in too good a way. Now it would be nice if the court could send someone to help them.

Obviously, their family is honest and dutiful, and the annual taxes are also paid honestly, shouldn't the imperial court hurry up to help them at this time? Every night, innocent people die in action. It doesn't make sense, those who are officials don't know. Aren't they more shrewd than the other when they calculate how much tax they have to pay? How do you get stupid now?

Seeing that the face of the granddaughter in his arms was getting more and more ugly, and her body temperature was getting lower and lower, the old man was already desperate at this time. She looked up at the dim sky and asked a barrage of questions.

"Oh my God, open your eyes and see. We're all suffering, and no one can help us? My poor little granddaughter, who is not yet five years old this year, is going to die like this? She hadn't grown up yet, she hadn't seen what the world was like, and how pitiful it would be if she died like this! I'm willing to die myself, can someone kind save him? Even if you are a slave and a maid in the future, as long as you can have food to eat and live, it will be fine......"

In her muttering, the old man seemed to hear something squirming, and she opened her eyes with difficulty, thinking that it was the same people who were spying on their grandparents in the dark. However, she saw a bright red.

That is, is that blood? But how can blood move? Could it be that she is really dying, so dizzy, and misunderstood?

Alas, it seems that the heavens did not hear her accusation and prayer......

"Are you alright, old man? Can you hear me? If you can hear it, you blink. ”

Who's talking? The sound came and went, as if it had fallen from the sky. However, this sound was accompanied by a pungent smell of meat. Who's cooking the broth?

The old man's eyes reflexively widened. (End of chapter)
