Chapter 325: Hangu Pass is lost
The 300,000 army crossed the front of the Hangu Pass, alarming the eight desolate family sects in Nanzhan Zhou, two behemoths in the world, one is orthodox in the world, and one is a great sect, who wins and who loses determines the next fortune trend, some families have begun to bet, if the Great Zhou Empire wins, then follow together to fight the autumn wind to the Holy Sect, if the Holy Sect wins, then the chaotic times of warlord secession will be opened among the clans, and the rules will be re-interpreted.
The scholars and gatekeepers in the three states of Guannai, the wealthy and businessmen have also evacuated from the Guannai, many families have migrated, and there are many scattered family wealth on the way, and the road encounters bandits, although the public security in Nanzhan Zhou is there, most places have fallen into slight chaos, and the root cause of the great chaos is also because of the inertia generated by the legal system for a long time, which has led to many people not adapting to the life of the troubled times.
In the territory of Youdu, at noon, it is the time to open the warehouse to release grain, the ten warehouses in Youdu have lined up early, all of them are ragged homeless, most of the homeless people who have come to Youdu for the first time are sleeping on the ground, just for a little food at noon to survive, but fortunately it is in the hot season, there is no scene of freezing to death, otherwise if it is three or nine days, I don't know how long the hungry people who have no food in the stomach can support in the cold night.
Many young banshees are also ragged, in order to survive, many good-looking banshees go to the land of fireworks, in order to survive, most of the young and strong demon clans have also joined the army, and the family also recruits slaves, using the stock of family savings to recruit slaves.
Many of the homeless people living on the streets are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they look like hell on earth. With a faint aroma of rice porridge, the hungry people who had been waiting in front of the granary at this moment picked up the shirts in their hands and began to line up and walk forward, the young and strong huddles in front, the old and thin naturally crowded behind, the cruelty is vividly reflected at this moment, but fortunately, the rule is a bowl per person, most of them are water, and those with rice grains are earned, and they can only taste it, so it still provokes many people to rush to it. The shirt in everyone's hand is different, many people don't have a complete bowl, and some leak, so they can only wait under the mouth while serving it, for fear of wasting a drop.
There was a small episode in the middle of the line, a young demon clan dressed in white was also mixed in, although the face was dusty, but it can be seen from the dress that there is still some foundation in the family, many such teenagers are the children of the original official eunuchs, belonging to the group of blessings, but because of the donations of Beijing officials, some officials with high moral integrity are already very poor, plus donations, directly fell into the financial crisis, and there is no sense of distress at ordinary times, there is no food storage, so most of these officials and the children of officials are also suffering with the people.
This rice porridge for disaster relief is mixed with sand. You can only drink it after waiting for a while.
As for the rice porridge mixed with sand, it is also to protect this group of hungry people, only by mixing sand, those nobles who originally had food will not come to fight with the hungry people with a thick face. Many of the children of this group of eunuchs have been pampered since childhood and have never suffered hardships, but after a few hungry meals at home, they really can't stand it, and they will go to the disaster relief place to drink a bowl, but it is still a drop in the bucket.
But this scene will also be seen by the officials who are responsible for distributing food, and they will give a few more grains of rice on the emotion, but it is still not enough, and then there are shadow guards who check in the dark to record the names of this group of children and present them to the demon emperor, of course, after the record, this group of shadow guards will also go to these children's homes to observe for a few days, if there is really no food at home and are forced to go to the street, then give a positive evaluation, otherwise it will be reported to the demon emperor, and then the demon emperor will consider it.
In order to provide disaster relief, the Demon Emperor also has insomnia all day long, and often holds the "Jiuding" to watch the current affairs of the world until he is numb. Originally, there was panic and surprise, but I quickly got used to it, and I have to say that habit is a very powerful force.
During the day, the Demon Emperor summoned his eldest son, who was fifteen years old. Seeing that his eldest son has golden eyes, his head is born with dragon horns, although he is a young man, but his head horns are grandiose, and he has a rebellious atmosphere, which does not lack the momentum of the superiors, but lacks a forbearance and tempering.
When the Demon Emperor saw his eldest son, he first admired it, and then he felt some regret. After all, young people have to endure many hardships before they can grow into strong people. He was also young and unruly, but then ascended the throne and lost his temper by the ministers, but the next generation of demon emperors is about to enter the troubled times, and then it is not as easy as when he was young, and every move involves the foundation of the Great Zhou Empire, and the demon emperor feels that he is getting older, if there is a mistake in the future, he has now decided to set up a prince.
The eldest son of the Demon Emperor walked into the hall and saw the Demon Emperor bow his hand. "My son has seen my father. ”
When the Demon Emperor saw the eldest son of the emperor, he waved with his palm and said with a smile: "Chang'er come here." Stand by the widow's side. Let the widow take a good look. ”
The eldest son of the emperor stepped forward in response, and the demon emperor was generous, and patted the shoulder of the demon prince with his big hand. "My body has grown stronger. Ji Chang, do you know why the widow gave you the name Ji Chang?"
The eldest son shook his head. "I don't know. ”
"Many of the major events in the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time. The grievances between us and the Holy Sect have been too deep from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present, do you know this?" the Demon Emperor looked at the eldest son of the Emperor.
Ji Chang nodded. "I know, but I also heard that there are 300,000 soldiers and horses in front of the Hangu Pass, and they are shocked again, and they are like bamboos all the way. As long as Hanya is closed, we will win. ”
"Hahaha, how can it be so easy, if it is really that easy, the Holy Sect will not have been in charge of the land of the Three States for so long. The widow also had a hunch that this battle between our two sides was destined to be protracted for a long time. What is the future, I don't know the fixed number yet, you have to follow Mr. to learn more about the art of war, the way of governing the country, don't be greedy. The burden on you is much heavier than that of a widow. Therefore thou shalt be more virtuous than the widow. This is also a test of Providence for our Great Zhou royal family. The Demon Emperor sighed.
Ji Chang nodded. "Yes. "The young man has a heart, and the answer is a little perfunctory. But the Demon Emperor's heart was very happy. All he wants is a positive attitude, as for the rest, it all depends on the will of God, the young prince, the stubbornness is nothing in his opinion, but he must be responsible, and the rest is to live a good present and accumulate for the future, as for the result, it is all God's will.
The Demon Emperor picked up the pastries on the table and handed them to Ji Chang. "This is a new tribute pastry, there is a famine outside, and the widow has reduced the amount of money in the palace, and it is time for you to grow your body, eat more. ”
Ji Chang didn't refuse, picked up the pastry and ate it suddenly, obviously hungry. The Demon Emperor looked at it from the side, but his face was full of relief. "How nice it would be if time could last forever in a happy moment. ”
