Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Three: Draw Swords and Four Gus Heart Confused
Emperor Tianqi didn't know whether Li Qiyuan was insulting him or Zhang Jingyi.
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but become furious and was full of anger.
But there is nowhere to vent this anger.
However, Wei Zhongxian failed to do anything else. His ability to spy on the ministers is really impressive.
Emperor Tianqi stopped making any more noise, closed his eyes and leaned against the soft cushion in the carriage.
The vast team immediately left Beijing.
It is best to go out of the capital and towards Changping. Just follow the "Shendao".
This road leading to the Ming Dynasty’s tomb is huge, and there are special mausoleum guards responsible for repairing it on weekdays.
The court has always valued the matters involving ancestors, so it is quite easy to go along the way.
Before he knew it, Emperor Tianqi took a nap in the carriage. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had left the capital.
At this time, Emperor Tianqi did not know what Zhang Jingyi was doing in his house, but he was vaguely looking forward to it.
Since Zhang Jingyi dared to let him, the emperor, go on inspection in person, maybe he really has some unique skills?
Of course... the yield per mu is still unbelievable.
Maybe it's just some kind of exaggeration or metaphor.
Walking further forward, the road gradually began to wind and head north.
At this moment, the team in front suddenly stopped, which made Emperor Tianqi's chariot even stop.
So Emperor Tianqi poked his head out for no reason, and Wei Zhongxian hurriedly came up and said, "Your Majesty... what are the instructions?"
Emperor Aoki said, "Look at what happened before?"
Wei Zhongxian did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly rode his horse and asked in front, then came back and said, "A group of refugees came from the front, and the guards in front were driven away."
This time, it was too hasty. Otherwise, the officials and the guards of Changping County would have prepared by the road, and there would never be any situation where someone would be wandering here.
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say, "Disaster? These people have left their hometowns and are guilty of following the law."
"This is naturally, the guards ahead are..."
Emperor Tianqi thought for a while, but said, "Follow me to take a look."
After saying that, he got off the carriage by himself. Wei Zhongxian became nervous and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty... Most of these people are prisoners of crime, and your Majesty's daughter..."
Emperor Tianqi shook his head and said, "In my memorials, I always see the word "refugees". Today I want to see it with my own eyes."
As he said that, he strided through the heavy guards, and sure enough, hundreds of meters ahead, a team of cavalry guards waving their whips, driving out dense refugees like sheep.
Emperor Tianqi frowned and immediately ordered: "Let them stop and bully the weak, what a good man."
Wei Zhongxian was about to suffocate. They were imperial guards, not heroes.
But Wei Zhongxian had always followed Emperor Tianqi's advice, but some ministers followed him and said, "Please avoid him."
Emperor Tianqi ignored them, but rushed forward, and got closer and was stunned for a moment.
Most of the memorials sent by prefectures and counties in the world do not describe the image of refugees. However, in the mind of Emperor Tianqi, these refugees are all evil people who violate the law and discipline and are disgusting.
But what I saw in front of me was just a group of old, weak, women and children, one in ragged clothes, and some were even naked. The naked person showed dark skin like elm skin, which seemed to be unable to wrap around the bones inside. The bones on his body were prominent, and there was no human form.
Of course, their faces are abominable. Even the younger-looking woman has her hair and has some hair. She doesn't know what she has on her head, but it seems to be a piece of it, her skin is wrinkled, and her appearance is very ugly.
But in front of the cavalry guards, they did not describe the evil spirits as described in the local memorials.
They supported the elderly and the young, like mummies. After the attack of the cavalry of the guards, they just wailed and lowered their heads to avoid them.
Emperor Tianqi said: "Where did the refugees come from?"
"I don't know either, and I don't understand what they say."
Emperor Tianqi got closer, and he heard these people talking with a local accent.
In this era, most of the people who can speak official language are scholars, but... Emperor Tianqi understood the accent of these people: "These are all from Datong Prefecture."
As he said that, he asked someone to order the cavalry to come back, and after a while, Wei Zhongxian brought another man.
This man may not know the identity of Emperor Tianqi, but he also knows that Emperor Tianqi must be a noble person.
At this time, he was like a frightened bird. As soon as he saw Emperor Tianqi, he immediately bowed and kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "Prime Minister, please spare me."
Emperor Apocalypse said, "Come on your head."
Behind him... Huang Liji pulled Sun Chengzong's sleeve and whispered in surprise: "Your Majesty can even speak Datong's accent?"
Sun Chengzong had a expressionless face and also responded in a low voice: "Your Majesty has always wanted to follow the example of Wuzong."
When Huang Liji heard this, he understood everything.
The so-called Wuzong is Emperor Zhengde. Emperor Zhengde is even more outrageous than Tianqi. He wanted to go out of the pass to fight, but later he simply stayed in Datong and appointed himself as the general officer.
At this moment, the man raised his head carefully.
Emperor Tianqi looked at him and looked closely at him. He had a majestic look on his face, but when he saw this person's appearance, he subconsciously took a step back.
This face doesn't look like a person, it's clearly no different from a skeleton.
Emperor Aoki calmed down and asked, "What's your name?"
"Little...Little Man Chen San."
"Are you a Datong?"
"yes."
"Since you are here, can you have a way out?"
"No, no, no, never." Chen San looked trembling. He was very weak and weak in speaking. At the same time, his body trembled because of fear.
"Why leave your hometown if you have no way to lead me?"
"Living... I can't survive anymore." Chen San said with a sad face: "If you don't leave, the whole family will starve to death. In the village...If there is no food, even the trees will be eaten up, and there is no food left. There is no left. The lumps of soil in the field... I will die of eating it. It's okay when I eat it, but at night, my stomach bloated all night, covered my stomach and howled until the third update, and I can't hold on anymore... When I was dying, I said that the child was still young and must find a way out for him. I... I'll come out with the people."
Emperor Tianqi's scalp was numb when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say, "There has been no disaster in the past two years of Datong, why is there no food?"
Chen San said aggrievedly: "We farmed the master in the village. This place is already barren. Over the whole year, we only collected a few stones of coarse grains. We paid most of the rent for rent. The remaining ones were urged to pay the taxes and the grain taxes. After a while, we couldn't support people. So we owe rent every year. This year, we said that there was a famine, and that the price of grain has risen. The master in the village has even urged rents to be urged. This is really urgent... The villain... The villain really has not committed crimes... The villain is a good citizen."
Emperor Tianqi vomited blood in anger, and Guanzhong had a severe drought, and it seemed that the capital and Shanxi had suffered disasters.
Even this is true for Datong, so what about Guanzhong?
The situation in Guanzhong is just afraid it will be even more terrifying.
Emperor Tianqi stood there, his face turned pale for a moment, and he couldn't even say a word.
The more he did this, the more frightened Chen San was just keeping kowtowing like pounding garlic.
Emperor Tianqi suddenly looked at Huang Liji standing beside him and said, "Huang Qing family, who can you blame me?"
At this time, Huang Liji was actually shocked.
But he couldn't help but have a question in his heart, why is it me again?
He had no choice but to say, "My dear..."
Emperor Tianqi said angrily: "Is Chen San guilty?"
Huang Liji thought for a while and said, "There is neither."
Emperor Tianqi said: "What about the imperial court? Is it guilty of levying heavy taxes?"
Huang Li smiled bitterly and said, "The court... after all, it is for border pay, let alone if the food is not urged, how can the court maintain it?"
Emperor Tianqi said, "Where is the master in his farmland? Is he guilty?"
Huang Liji said: "The land belongs to someone else. I will release the land to collect rent. After that, Chen San owes the rent. It is natural to repay the debt. What crime is there?"
Emperor Tianqi actually nodded, and agreed with Huang Liji's words, and then said, "Then Chen San can't survive anymore. He just wants to live a life of silence and make a way out for himself. What's the crime of becoming a refugee?"
Huang Liji nodded quickly: "Yes, it's really pitiful."
"But this made me feel disappointed." Emperor Tianqi could not help but show his despair: "Everyone is not guilty, everyone has his own reason, everyone... has done their own duty, but what is the result? As a result, a person like Chen San has not encountered natural disasters, but he is also good. He works hard all day long, but he can't even have a full meal. If it is because of his guilt, I can still uphold justice, kill sinners, and be the blue sky. But now everyone is not guilty, what should I do? What should I do? What should I do with the imperial court? What should I do with a person like Chen San?"
This questioning actually caused Huang Liji to be overwhelmed.
Chen Sanzi was so scared that he shivered and curled up on the ground, making no sound.
Emperor Tianqi gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I have a sword and draw it out, I don't know where to slash. This... is the Ming Dynasty today!"
Chen San didn't understand why, so he kowtowed in horror: "I've died ten thousand times."
Emperor Tianqi sighed and became frustrated again: "You are innocent, why should you die? If I were you, I would have been a refugee long ago. Wherever I have food to eat, I will go wherever I have a king's law. I will ignore these people..."
He pointed to the refugees in the distance: "Are they all the same as you?"
Chen San said: "Most of this is true. However, we are already lucky. Along the way, ten people have starved to death. The villain is strong and has survived until now."
