Chapter 233 The Indefinite Tomorrow (Part 1)
Min Shaoqing was very annoyed by Qu Zhu, thinking that this person was too cunning and gave people a feeling of instability. Qu Zhu was the president of the Imperial Army and a loyal minister around the new emperor. He had to give face on weekdays and could not express his inner disgust.
Qu Zhu may have been a kind reminder, but Min Shaoqing felt very annoyed. Since he was the emperor, he should consider the life and death of his people, rather than hiding alone in the palace as a lady. Qu Zhu said that the emperor would not read the memorial, but was actually just defending the new emperor's inaction.
But after seeing the new emperor, I found that the facts were really the same.
Xinhuang was a little sick. He sat on the bed covered with a quilt. There was a maid next to him serving tea and water. Xinhuang's stupid man kept wiping his nose with an embroidered chew. As soon as he spoke, his nasal sound was very loud.
"Premier Min... If nothing important is true, please come back. I am not in good health and need a rest."
Min Shaoqing was holding the memorial book and handing it over, but after thinking about it, he would just forget it. Telling to the new emperor may not be useful. It would be better to support him like a living treasure, and it would be fine if he didn't take it seriously.
At this time, Eunuch Wu brought the new emperor's breakfast with a wooden stent, a bowl of steaming noodle soup, millet porridge and eggs. Min Shaoqing, who hadn't eaten a full meal for several days, was so greedy. This ape was saved by the military and civilians of Xuzhou City. He was a little reluctant, but he felt relieved when he thought about it. Although this person had never done anything, who said that he was the emperor? It was because of this emperor that Xuzhou City could stick to this day.
"Prefect Min, wait." The new emperor suddenly called out to Min Shaoqing when he saw that he was about to walk out of the door.
"What are the emperor's instructions?"
The new emperor had already picked up the millet porridge, but he had already put it down and asked, "I've been trapped in the city for a month. Can the soldiers still have enough food and clothing?"
Min Shaoqing did not expect that the emperor would finally open his eyes and ask about the living conditions of the military and civilians in Xuzhou.
"When the soldiers are having some difficulties, they can roughly make do with it..."
The new emperor interrupted Min Shaoqing and said, "Don't lie to me. Actually, I already know. Commander Qu told me a few days ago that Xuzhou City is currently short of clothes and food and cannot be sustained. The lives of soldiers and the people are very difficult. Now they have to resist foreign enemies every day, which must be very hard. The master has not come, and the food and other supplies have not been shipped yet, but you have to believe that the master will definitely come."
Seeing Min Shaoqing looked surprised. The new emperor added: "The master I am talking about is General Liu Wenyan and Liu."
Min Shaoqing nodded hard. He had known about the relationship between Xinhuang and Liu Wenyan for a long time. It seemed that the two had a close personal relationship, otherwise they would not have called the master so sincerely and trusted him so much.
Min Shaoqing said respectfully: "The situation in the city is not something the emperor can predict, and the emperor is still sick now, so there is no need to worry about these things and leave them to the ministers to deal with."
The new emperor suddenly lifted the quilt and asked the maid to take the clothes. He wanted to put it on his body. The maid wanted to help. The new emperor grimaced at her, and it seemed that he really didn't need anyone to help.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"I'm going out for a walk." The new emperor tied his belt. At this time, Eunuch Wu had already handed over the boots, and the emperor began to put it on his feet by himself.
Min Shaoqing advised: "The emperor's condition has not been cured now, and the dragon body is the most important thing, so it is not advisable to go out."
The new emperor put on his boots and said, "General Qu also told me that many of the soldiers from the north were not accustomed to the local conditions and were sick, and their illness was worse than mine. But they had to eat enough to kill the enemy to defend the city for me every day. I was just infected with the cold, so why not go out for a walk? Master... General Liu also said that those who are emperors should share the joys and sorrows with his people, and I don't want to be a bird in the cage anymore."
Words are good words, but Min Shaoqing felt awkward. The bird in the cage seemed to be restricted by someone. Later he realized that it was Liu Wenyan's instruction that the new emperor cat was not allowed to come out in the palace, in order to prevent the new emperor from going out.
When the new emperor was trying to rebel, Chai Jin, the Imperial Army President Qu Zhu, Xuzhou Prefect Min Shaoqing, and Xuzhou Governor Ma Feng escorted the military camp where soldiers were temporarily stationed under the city wall, the entire Xuzhou city caused a sensation.
At this time, there was still snow in the sky. Many of the soldiers were still wearing single clothes, but it could not stop them from wanting to see Tianyan's enthusiasm. The new emperor did not bring many guards when he came out on this trip, and he was not wearing dragon robes. He looked very easy-going. The very young emperor, the soldiers only had two legs, one nose and two eyes when they saw it. Some wanted to find the right dragon horn on the new emperor's forehead, but they also found that it did not exist.
There were people inside and outside the military camp, and Qu Zhu was very nervous because there were more or less detailed works of the Huai Army in the city. It was difficult for the new emperor to come out so recklessly and could not ensure safety. However, the new emperor did not care about his own safety. He walked with the soldiers and wiped them with his own hands when he saw the dirty face. The soldiers were very moved. The snow floating in the sky also decorated the solemnity of the new emperor's travel today. Every soldier consciously did not move forward, but he did not want to be too far away from the new emperor.
The new emperor traveled not to go through the motions. He walked many places. Along the way, he saw that there were many people in the emperor. When he arrived, the soldiers who had just changed their guards from the city wall were cooking soup. When he learned that the emperor was coming, they all stood up with a little frightened and a little surprised, and didn't even bother to serve the cooked soup.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The new emperor walked up to the soldiers, patted them on the shoulders, then squatted down and took the soup and rice with a spoon and looked at it. He said it was rice, but most of it was wild vegetables. Fortunately, some batter was added to it, so that he would not be hungry after eating it. The new emperor was in a good mood, but he couldn't help but wiped his tears when he saw the soup and rice. Suddenly, others thought the emperor was serving rice for the soldiers, but they didn't expect the new emperor to pick up the chopsticks and eat it himself.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Even if Qu Zhu and other close ministers had no objection to this matter, Min Shaoqing would have no objection to it. The soldiers would say that it would be a great deal for the emperor to come to inspect the front line. Now he actually eats wild vegetables that the soldiers don’t want to eat. Is this what the emperor should eat?
However, the new emperor ignored the persuasion of others and ate a bowl of wild vegetable noodle soup, and even the leaves in the bowl were stuffed into his mouth without wasting any waste. When he finished eating, he stood up and found that the soldiers were also watching him.
The new emperor wiped his face, tears and his nose. I don’t know whether it was because of the touch or the wind and cold he received, the new emperor shouted: “Soldiers, don’t worry, this kind of hard life will not be too long. General Liu, he will definitely come. He will bring food, reinforcements, and some very powerful weapons. You have never seen it, but I have seen it. With a long-distance 'bang!', people will die, which is better than arrows."
Min Shaoqing heard what was mentioned above and felt that it was very helpful to inspire the morale of the army. The more he listened, the more he felt that it was unreliable. Some powerful weapons sounded mysterious, and it was probably fabricated.
Seeing that the new emperor was furious and wanted to continue, Min Shaoqing came forward and reminded him: "Stop the emperor, don't say this."
