Four hundred and twentieth chapters disaster snow
Guanzhong experienced a severe cold winter that had not been encountered for decades. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes has basically not stopped since October. Heavy snow has caused disasters, deepening the disaster for the people of Guanzhong who have suffered from drought and wars in the past two years, and also making the situation of disaster relief for the court very serious. At the foot of the emperor of Chang'an City, the disaster situation was obviously lighter than outside the city. As long as the Chang'an City came out, many civilians could not stand the heavy snow and press the roof.
There are also more and more disaster victims in Guanzhong.
However, after Hua Ji'an led his troops back to Guanzhong, the court was no longer able to carry out disaster relief work in the Guanzhong area outside Chang'an City. Local disaster relief could only be solved by local governments themselves. The court focused more on winning people's hearts and responding to military rebellions. For the court, this cold winter was also very harsh and the political situation was harsh.
In the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is approaching, and Chang'an City is still lifeless. Only those rich men will wander on the streets in such weather. The people of small families are basically shackled at home and cannot come out. Generally, the people of Chang'an City have the habit of resident winter food for winter, and there are very few people who come out to make a living in the cold winter. Because of this, even if there is no martial law in Chang'an City, the road is similar to martial law. Most of the people walking on the street are from the Defense Department. Of course, there are also strong men hired by the court to sweep the snow.
The 70,000 army of the court was conveniently stationed 200 miles outside Chang'an City, and from then on it seemed to have become an isolated island. It was even more difficult for the court to investigate the news. Although there were still a lot of rumors in Chang'an City, the court found that these rumors were basically unreliable and were all rumors. The intelligence work of the court was very unsuccessful, mainly because the court was responsible for the intelligence of the court, headed by Liu Yu and Yang Lie. Now both of them have disappeared, and the court can no longer use the original intelligence channels. Some newly built channels have collapsed due to the military's purge. Now there is only a very small amount of information that can be transmitted from the military camp. A lot of information is still expired or useless.
Originally, the court thought that Huaji'an would either rebel or surrender, and would not delay too long in the middle. Because there would definitely be shortage of food and supplies in Huaji'an's army. However, the court obviously underestimated the military's means of calling materials. Although the military retreated the military camp from the border to Guanzhong. However, in terms of recruiting materials, it still used the set used by Huaji'an to go directly to the local area without going directly through the court. The court's materials were so short that the local military ration was still transported to the military camp. Although the court had issued official documents to ceding land, it strictly prohibited military rations from being called without authorization, but the results were very little. Local officials could tell who was stronger now. The military would usurp power at any time, even if the court finally won. They could also be said to be doing things in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Shun Dynasty.
The local officials who were paid by the court were concerned about interests rather than the court. Their mentality of watching the fun and troubled waters was basically the same as that of the people.
It was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there was no sign of ease between the military and the imperial court. However, some minor chaos occurred in Chang'an City.
The victims rebelled!
The incident originated from the imperial court's incisive and slightest response to disaster relief. At the beginning, the imperial court distributed disaster relief supplies in Chang'an City to win people's hearts, which allowed some of the refugees who first went to Chang'an City to avoid disasters to get the material guarantees they deserved, and caused a large number of disaster victims who were originally outside the city to flock to Chang'an City to obtain the protection of the court.
Although the major gates of Chang'an City were mostly closed, the imperial court initially chose to open the city gate to accept the victims in order to reassure the victims. After several days of acceptance, the imperial court could not bear the number of victims and did not open the city gate again. However, at this time, the number of victims entering Chang'an City through the city gate and waterway had reached a very large scale. The imperial court saved the disaster for several days and found that the supplies were really tight. Therefore, the disaster relief matter was delayed, which caused dissatisfaction among subsequent disaster victims.
The victims first had a robbery incident in the city, but later they simply organized themselves to go to the government to "petition". Tens of thousands of victims sat at the door of the Jingzhao Government's yamen without moving, not robbing or causing trouble, which made the court feel particularly uneasy.
This must be organized. The court immediately held several levels of meetings, and the news was reported to the Xinhuang again and again. Su Yan heard that the victims were making trouble outside the city without having enough food. He was not upset, but rather sympathized with him. The officials were a little upset when they saw the emperor so compassionate to the people. They knew very well that the court could not provide food and supplies for disaster relief. Who knew that in the end, Su Yan just sighed: "Actually... I have been like them in the first few years..."
The officials looked at each other, what did the emperor mean? Who are they referring to?
Although the officials had enough political awareness, they obviously didn't know much about the past deeds of the New Emperor. Those were the secrets of the emperor, and it was very dangerous to know what they shouldn't know. After the New Emperor ascended the throne, the officials were still very aware of it and did not go to inquire in detail. Of course, they didn't know that Su Yan was missing the past winter. When he had no food to eat or wear winter clothes, he ran to the chess building to have a meal. He even spent the night in the chess room in the chess building at night.
"It's been a long time!"
Su Yan remembered for a while, raised his head and found that court officials, including Su Bi, were looking at him. He then returned to reality from the past, and felt great comfort in his heart. He was now the emperor and no longer had to go to the streets to get frozen in the cold winter. He was also glad that this severe cold winter had not come two years earlier, otherwise he might have become a frozen zombie in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and would not sit here to listen to the court officials' retribution today.
"My master... Is there any news about Marquis Wuyi?"
Su Yan asked, "Yeah" on the side cleared his voice twice. Su Yan then remembered that Su Bi did not allow him to mention Liu Wenyan in public again. But Su Yan could not help but think of Liu Yu. In the past, as long as there were troubles and his master, any difficulties could be solved. Just like in the winter two years ago, he would not have thought that he would sit here as an emperor today. At that time, he just dreamed that he had a big house where he could be gambling with a bunch of people. Now that the big house is there, the dream of gambling cannot be realized. How could these ministers in front of him bet on him?
Seeing Su Yan standing there and not talking, Su Bi didn't dare to speak, and the ministers below did not dare to speak, so she had to break the silence and asked, "Prince, what should we do with these people who came to the government to make trouble?"
Su Yan sighed and said, "Forget it. They are also people of my Dashun Dynasty. The master said before that whoever wants to be a stingy person with hair is like now. They have houses, clothes and food. Who would like to sit at the door of the yamen in the middle of winter? I feel a little cold when I sit in front of the stove, let alone them..."
Su Bi was quite helpless. What happened to the emperor today? It was not over yet. He was quite energetic on weekdays. The emperor was more and more outstanding, he was both kind and powerful, and he was not greedy for pleasure. He was also very concerned about folk affairs and often sent people to inquire about the customs and culture. If he could solve his current difficulties, he might be a saint who has been famous for his eternal names. But today, Su Yan mentioned his master in his mother-in-law and mother.
Su Bi hurriedly interrupted Su Yan's nagging and asked, "What does the emperor mean?"
"What I mean is that if the wishes of the victims are satisfied, they will be satisfied. In this way, they will go back."
The officials below replied immediately: "But your Majesty, the court really has no money or food."
When Su Yan heard the voice, his tone suddenly became weak and weak: "Don't you beg for it? How much do you guys have greedy on weekdays? Isn't it enough to expose some of the victims from the cracks in your fingers?"
When the emperor blew, all the ministers below knelt on the ground. They finally knew why the emperor was talking so much nonsense. It turned out that it was for the last attack. "Take care of the emperor's dragon body." The officials persuaded tremblingly.
In fact, Su Yan did not intentionally have an attack, he was just inspired. When he had no food to eat, he would complain about corrupt officials. Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, he became the leader of these corrupt officials and the biggest borer in the world.
Su Yan's tone slowed down and said, "What's the use of getting up and kneeling? The victims still have no food to eat? Wait until Mr. Han comes later, maybe he will have good news."
Han Sheng is now the right prime minister, but Su Yan is still used to calling him "old man", which is a kind of respect from the bottom of his heart. These days, without the mediation of Han Sheng and Sui Yu, the court would not have cut out food from some details to rescue disasters, and a heavy snow would have brought the court back to its original form.
When the court was worried about disaster relief, the victims in the city were also carrying out their "non-violent non-cooperation". At this time, the Jingzhao Mansion was also very nervous. They had never seen such an orderly "troubled man" who came to make trouble and actually sat there, saying nothing, just like sitting on their own warm kang. Will they be preparing to paralyze the government and choose to attack the government at the right time?
The officials of Jingzhao Prefecture were also worried, and in the end the victims showed no sign of causing trouble. After sitting all day, they had already returned on their own. Something happened in the middle. An old woman could not bear it. When she got up, she found that she had frozen and the body had been cold for a long time. The people still did not cause trouble. They had come out during the day and thought they could advance and retreat together, but they did not expect that they could not go back together in the end.
"Let's go, let's go." There was an old man among the people who looked like an old man, shouting in a strong Guanzhong accent, "When I get to the top, I must give you a dream and tell you if you have lived in heaven?"
All the people followed his fingers and looked at the sky with solemn and solemn expressions. At the same time, they also had some hope, as if the heaven was hidden in their ideal kingdom, and the dead old woman had already arrived in this kingdom to explore their way for them.
The officials of Jingzhao Prefecture looked at each other. This was the first time they had heard the concept of "nation". Shouldn't they go to the underworld to report after they die? Could it be that they went to heaven? There is still a country in heaven?
