Chapter 431 Issue the imperial decree to save the people
The courtiers suddenly lost their backbone.
Well, Prince Rui and General Xu Guang just died yesterday, and today, King Xian and Prime Minister Li were killed again. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
No one who can become a courtier is a fool. This is clearly the handiwork of the young emperor of the Yunxiao Kingdom in front of them! People were panicked for a moment.
Among the ministers who entered the palace yesterday, there were even some who recognized Bai Xiao standing behind Jun Lingyun with sharp eyes.
Isn't it the same expert guard who fought against General Xu Guang yesterday without losing?
These ministers couldn't help but swallowed and closed their mouths.
It turns out that everything in their Xizhao court has long been under the control of the Emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom.
What's more, the guards around him are so powerful, how powerful can Jun Lingyun, who is known as the God of War, be?
But there will always be those who are short-sighted and want to say a few words. Jun Lingyun ordered coldly.
"Bai Xiao, if anyone has any objections, let them go out of the city to appease the victims."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Bai Xiao's loud voice made the courtier who wanted to express his opinion tremble a few times, feeling chilled from the inside out.
Even King Xian and Prime Minister Li went to comfort the victims, but they were all "unfortunately killed"! Which of them dared to say that they could come back alive after going out? The courtiers did not dare to say anything.
Xiling Yu faced Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi and knelt down solemnly.
"Xilingyu, long live my emperor and my queen, a thousand lives."
Some of the courtiers knelt down because they were stronger than others because of the situation. The justice of the country was not as important as their own lives.
There were two tough guys who didn't kneel down and were thrown out of the city gate by Bai Xiao, who ate a mouthful of mud.
"Ah! Why are you so barbaric?"
The two of them were in a hurry and spoke without hesitation, but they heard Bai Xiao say to the victims outside the city:
"This is the court bug who keeps you out of the city and ignores you. Everyone, take revenge if you have any grievances, and take vengeance if you have any grievances!"
After Bai Xiao finished speaking, the two men saw in horror that they were surrounded by victims who were so hungry that they could eat people, looking at them with resentment.
No longer caring about his image, he hurriedly climbed into the city, shouting as he climbed:
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old!"
Bai Xiao snorted coldly, picked them up again, and threw them back to the courtiers.
Now, all the courtiers knelt down and shouted long live. No one dared to do it again.
Jun Lingyun faced the victims.
"From today on, I am your emperor, and you are my people. I will not give up any of my good people! From now on, I will open warehouses to store grain and set up porridge!"
These refugees couldn't believe their ears. What did they hear? Will the new emperor open a granary for them?
"We are saved, we are saved! Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for us!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Queen!"
The victims fell to their knees, and their excitement was revealed in their noisy cries.
Chu Yunxi was about to cry. She was of no use to her for what happened today. She didn't need to come.
But Jun Lingyun said that for the rest of his life, no matter whether he was happy or sad, he would share his empire with her, so he brought her with him. Let her see such a touching scene.
The gratitude of the people was so pure. The joy of dying and living seemed to wash away all the previous suffering. From the dead silence, hope was renewed.
When everyone got up again, simple tents had been moved outside the imperial city.
The officials had already received the order and learned that the dynasty would be changed today. They had been waiting aside for a long time. This was the time to show off in front of the new emperor.
Chu Yunxi thought that there were too many victims, and if they fought for a mouthful of porridge, there might be a stampede, which would get out of hand, so he offered words of comfort in advance.
"I feel sorry for you. I will accept the porridge where you are and save your lives. I will arrange accommodation for you later. I hope everyone will not fight for it. Everyone has it. If someone messes up the order and delays the time, we will also
You will not be spared!"
Her words were measured in advance and retreat, and she gave both grace and power.
The refugees once again knelt down and thanked them from the bottom of their hearts. They were already grateful to have a bite to eat, so what other grievances could they have?
Since everyone has it, just bear with it, it is better than starving to death.
Looking at their Xizhao court, I wish they, the victims of the disaster, had died far away.
Look at the emperor and queen of Yunxiao Kingdom again, no, they are also their emperor and queen now. This is called benevolence!
With such an emperor and queen ruling, their lives have hope again.
The courtiers returned to the Xizhao Palace, and Jun Lingyun promulgated five edicts one after another to save the people from the fire and water:
1. Change Xizhao Kingdom to Xizhao Prefecture and put it under the territory of Yunxiao Kingdom. My second brother Jun Chengren, who has a kind heart, was named King of Xizhao and took charge of the revival of Xizhao.
2. All civilian rebel armies will be recruited by the imperial court and incorporated into the northern garrison. The new army will be led by General Chu Wenzhong! Those who are unwilling to join the army will be disbanded on the spot, and those who disobey orders will be killed!
3. Governments at all levels should open warehouses to stock up on food! Anyone with food at home in the Xizhao Kingdom can keep food for themselves for up to one year, and use the rest to provide relief to the victims.
It is registered with the government, and in the next few years, equal value will be repaid. Either new grains will be given, or taxes will be reduced or exempted. Those who cheat and cheat will be killed!
Fourth, all disaster victims who receive relief must accept labor arrangements uniformly arranged by the court within three years.
Fifth, set up a Dharma altar outside the capital city and ask the Dharma master to perform the rituals to pray for the people of Xizhao.
These five imperial orders were quickly promulgated and posted one after another. The people were excited and in awe. With such an orderly order, there was no need to worry about not being able to resume their pre-disaster life.
After Jun Chengren and Chu Wenzhong received the news, they took the rebel army they had conquered and successfully completed the recruitment of the imperial court.
Jun Chengren immediately rushed to the capital of Xizhao to meet Jun Lingyun.
He really didn't expect that during this trip to Xizhao Kingdom, the Emperor Brother would directly hand over the entire Xizhao Kingdom to him. It turned out that the Emperor Brother trusted him so much! He would definitely live up to the Emperor Brother's expectations.
Chu Wenzhong was busy finishing the troops, and he was also very excited. He also did not expect that during a trip to Xizhao Kingdom, he would directly transform from a small commander into a general like his father!
In this way, the new Yunxiao Kingdom and the entire northern territory are protected by the Chu family and his son. This shows Jun Lingyun's trust in the Chu family.
Soup stations in various places were quickly set up. The people were crying with joy.
Although the large families who donated the food were reluctant, they were not so uncomfortable thinking that the court would pay them back.
At the same time, on the temporary altar set up outside the capital, the magicians were practicing their practices for days, all under the attention of the victims. From time to time, victims came forward to worship and pray for good health in the coming year.
When more people followed and knelt down, the leading mage stopped and announced the result of his communication with God.
"Thank God for telling us the source of Xizhao's disaster!"
After hearing this, the victims made a loud noise. Could it be that there is a reason for the pain they suffered?
The mage made a surprising statement:
"Everything started when the Xizhao royal family got twins!"
