"The Empress has arrived, but I am not able to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."
"Tell me about the current situation! Where is Mr. Xia?" Lu Zhiyun said calmly.
"When Mr. Xia first came, Nanzhou was in chaos. The victims had a dispute. Mr. Xia wanted to appease the people, but he was accidentally injured by the victims. He still hasn't woken up yet."
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that I hurt my head and I don't know when I will wake up." It is also possible that I will never wake up.
He didn't dare to say this.
"I have brought a miracle doctor with me. You arrange for a boy to lead the way and let her go and have a look."
When Lu Zhiyun spoke, Ming Ziyan stood up.
The governor quickly called a clerk and asked him to take Ming Ziyan to the guest room to see Xia Qingzhou.
"Master Xia is injured, what happened to Prince Anguo?"
"Prince An Guo met robbers when he passed by Mingyue Bay. All the supplies were gone." The governor said, "The robbers in Mingyue Bay were particularly rampant. They always hijacked businessmen who passed by. This time they actually hijacked them directly to the government.
His body shows how daring he is. The prince Anguo was seriously injured, and his followers had to place him nearby to recuperate, so the lower officials did not see him."
"Okay, Prince An Guo has someone to deal with it." Lu Zhiyun said, "Let's talk about the damage this natural disaster has caused to the people. How many houses were destroyed, how many people died, how many people were injured, how did you resettle them?
Theirs, have the supplies that Mr. Xia brought before been distributed to them?"
The governor wiped cold sweat and truthfully reported the information he knew.
"When I first came here, I saw a lot of people sitting and lying on the street. Have these people always been like this?"
"Their homes are gone, their families are gone, and each one of them is like a walking zombie. In fact, all the Queen Mother saw were those who were slightly injured, and those who were really seriously injured have been placed in other places by our people."
"Take me to see it."
"yes."
Lu Zhiyun followed Governor Xu as she walked around Nanzhou. When the victims looked at her with empty eyes, her heart became cold.
Back then, when Hubei City faced a powerful enemy, the people were at a loss and scared, but they soon cheered up and faced the next difficulties with the best mental state.
However, there is indeed a big difference between the two.
One is to fight to the death to protect his homeland.
One is that my home is gone, my family is gone, and I have nothing left after working hard for most of my life. I don’t know what the future will be like, and there is no hope in life.
Lu Zhiyun looked around and saw a high platform.
She stood up.
"Empress..." Ding Xiang quickly supported her.
Lu Zhiyun made a gesture to signal Ding Xiang not to be nervous, she was sensible.
She stood on the high platform and said to the walking corpses in front of her: "I am the queen of Fenglin Kingdom. I brought a large amount of relief materials here this time just to help you. But I am really disappointed when I see how you are now.
.Your family members are still buried underground. They are dead, but they die with their eyes open because no one has brought them out until now. Do you think they are dead, so there is no need to bring their bodies out? So?
, do you just ignore them like this?"
Mentioning their families, the originally empty victims finally couldn't bear it and broke down crying.
"mother……"
"Daughter-in-law... son... why don't you take me away?"
"This life is worse than death. It is better to bury us together. God, why don't you open your eyes? Why are we the ones suffering?"
…
Cries came from all directions.
Lu Zhiyun stood there, looking sadly at the scene in front of her.
"You are the queen, and the monster on the stone tablet is talking about you, right?" A middle-aged man shouted loudly, "Do you think we are not miserable enough, and you come here to harm us?"
"Don't talk nonsense." When Governor Xu heard this, he became anxious, "Those are all nonsense. The Queen cares about everyone's safety and came here to preside over the overall situation. How can you not appreciate it?"
"We don't know how to praise? We in Feng Linguo used to be fine. If she hadn't married here, we wouldn't have had this natural disaster. The stone tablet clearly says that when evildoers take over and disasters come from the sky, she is the one they are talking about."
"Come here, arrest him." Governor Xu shouted.
Lu Zhiyun did not stop Xu Governor's arrangement.
Two officers and soldiers controlled the middle-aged man who was speaking.
"Did everyone see it? This is a guilty conscience!" the middle-aged man shouted.
Lu Zhiyun said calmly: "I will investigate the matter of the stone tablet thoroughly. If I know that someone is pretending to be a ghost, then don't even think about having a good life. In addition, the most important thing now is to solve everyone's problems. The natural disaster has passed.
After so long, have you ever thought about cleaning up the wreckage and burying what should be buried? Some of the collapses were not very serious, so maybe the things at home were not damaged much."
"I know you have lost your loved ones. Natural disasters are something that none of us can budget for. The dead are gone, and the living have been immersed in pain. How can we let the dead rest in peace? I will arrange for my men to clean up later.
At the scene, if you don’t want your own things, then leave it alone. If you don’t want to recognize the remains of your loved ones, then I will let them throw them into mass graves and let them die in peace."
"If you still want to take back the bodies of your family members, find a good cemetery for them, and let them rest in peace, then cooperate with our soldiers and help us overcome this difficulty. Relief materials have already arrived. We just need to clean up the place.
We will use these materials to get through. If you don’t have a home, we will build a new home together. In addition, such a big disaster has occurred in Nanzhou, and I have made the decision. In the next three years, Nanzhou will not collect agricultural taxes."
"The Queen is so kind to us, and we are not ignorant," said an old woman, "but I am old, my wife is gone, my son and daughter-in-law are gone, how can I have any hope?"
"I will build the first nursing home and the first infant care home in Nanzhou. Elderly people without children will receive free support there, and children without parents will also be taken care of there. But Nanzhou is very difficult now.
, we must work together to tide over the difficulties together. You also know that there is a war on the border now. Our Fenglin country has just eased the civil strife, and the national treasury is not that rich, so everyone must work together more."
"Okay, we believe in the Queen." Someone said, "It's better to die than to live. We don't dare to die now even if we want to. Since we don't dare to die, let's live together for the dead!"
Lu Zhiyun looked at the people in front of her.
Those stagnant eyes were finally injected with life, and she knew it was the flame of survival. They finally took the first step and were willing to let themselves and others go.
