But for Emperor Apocalypse, the greater the joy he has, the greater the responsibility he has.

Soon, a large number of disaster victims began to pour into the capital.

I am afraid that even I can't imagine what kind of perseverance I rely on to migrate to the capital.

Guanzhong is thousands of miles away from the capital. They often set out together in the entire village or the entire family, passing through one prefecture after another along the way.

If the government had been very alert to them in the past and the court was unable to provide relief, these aimless starving people would not only starve to death by the roadside, but also to directly loot or resist.

When a person is about to die, what is the use of worldly morality?

You advocate benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom.

But what he saw was the death of his relatives around him, and seeing his wife, son, father and mother, their faces turned yellow, their bones were as thin as hairs and their lips were dry and cracked!

At this time, who still believes that there are still kingly laws and benevolence and righteousness in the world?

The edict of Emperor Tianqi finally gave them a little hope. As long as there is a little hope to survive, these hunger people from Guanzhong will always burst out with unimaginable restraint.

There was no robbery or killing officials, and the gentry along the way did not suffer any major harm.

They were as gentle as a group of sheep. Even if the sea of ​​suffering was boundless, they could always hear the masters of the desperate and godless eyes, telling how their daughters starved to death, telling that their mother left the last bit of food to make the children live, and then disappeared at night.

These things that make people hear are strange and happen to them every day. When they tell, their eyes still have no spirit, just like... tears have dried up, and people have lost their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Starving to death is almost the most unbearable torture in the world, because hunger will wipe out your will, let you experience the wandering of hope and despair, and ultimately let you cut off all delusions!

After being too hungry, you will feel in a daze of what you are eating, but once you return to reality, the feeling of hunger will be so hungry that you can immediately let you ate your flesh and blood.

There is food in the capital.

The emperor wants to open a position.

This is their last little belief.

For this belief, these people who should have abandoned all laws and should not be subject to any moral constraints, at this moment, actually praised the bread for the emperor Laozi, and went eastward.

But when the victims arrived one after another like dark clouds, the pressure transferred from Guanzhong reached the capital.

Emperor Aoki is already busy.

He looked for ways to adjust the food.

So one meeting after another was held.

The ministers of various departments never expected that His Majesty was so excited. Sometimes... the court discussions actually started early in the morning and continued to watch the third update at night before the end.

Everyone can't stand it anymore.

In the past, the censors impeached Emperor Tianqi, because His Majesty never attended the court meeting and secretly used the king's failure to court early from now on.

This matter is about the following: Leader, why don’t you always have a meeting?

But now... they got what they wanted.

The hungry officials discussed endlessly in this hall, and then immediately issued imperial edicts to solve this problem and continue to move on to the next one.

The grain ships in Jiangnan have not arrived yet, and the rivers of the canal need to be dredged and asked for food from the gentry everywhere!

Of course, this food will definitely not be given in vain. The court should give it some honorary benefits.

For a moment, the court was in great pain.

After a large number of refugees entered the city, the counties of Shuntian Prefecture began to resettle.

However, most refugees went to Wancheng County and Daxing County. On the one hand, Wancheng and Daxing have a large area. On the other hand, on the way, many victims also heard the escorts or escorts along the way and talked about some things about the capital.

It is said that there is a new county magistrate who is a treacherous minister who does nothing every day and likes to flatter...

So, the victims rushed into Daxing and Wancheng County like crazy.

In Xinxian, there was plenty of preparations, and they were ready to fight from top to bottom. They looked like a little bit of a fancy madam, smiling in front of their own shop, constantly inviting: "Master, come and have fun."

But it seems... the victims adhere to a simple concept, but most of them are out of the way.

However, even though there were few people coming, many victims still arrived.

People from all over Xinxian County were also busy, and even kept their feet stuck to the ground.

Now, Zhang Jingyi has issued a final mobilization, and no starvation is allowed to be allowed to death. All victims are reorganized to ensure that everyone is not allowed to miss it. Finally, he put forward the slogan: Never starve to death.

I have been busy for more than a month, but... the huge pressure still comes like a rush of people, because the victims arrived one after another, and there are too many victims in the capital, and there are already signs of some instability.

But that's more than that.

The Emperor of Ancestral Revelation, who suddenly felt that he had hope, certainly could not only care about helping the people.

The upcoming palace examination also made Emperor Tianqi think that this was an effort to calm people's hearts.

Someone originally proposed to reschedule the palace examination, but Emperor Tianqi did not think so. Emperor Tianqi believed that if it was reschedule, it would inevitably cause doubts among the military and civilians.

The palace examination needs to be continued, and it is necessary to show that the court is still as stable as a rock.

Although this palace examination has nothing to do with the victims, it is a grand ceremony every three years for all officials and scholars.

At first, Huiyuan Guan Shao Ning had already made a lot of money, but in the eyes of many people, they were somewhat dissatisfied with whether they could continue to be the first in high school and become the top scorer in the palace examination.

After all... the palace examination is not the eight-part essay, but the strategy theory.

The most important thing about policy theory is a person's vision. To put it bluntly, it is called pattern.

Guan Shaoning, I heard that this guy is from a poor family, what can he have? This time... I am afraid he is far inferior to these aristocratic children.

You should know that the children of aristocratic clans have been influenced by their fathers who have been officials since childhood, know how the court operates, and are well aware of the principles of governing the world. This is definitely not comparable to those of poor families.

Therefore, just as all officials were having fun in pain, the palace examination for the seventh year of the Tianqi revelation finally began.

On this day, Emperor Tianqi got up very early. In fact, he now goes to bed early and gets up early. After getting up, the first thing he does is to meet Changsheng first. Seeing the little guy sleeping soundly, he feels indescribable satisfaction, which makes him feel like he has an infinite motivation for life.

Immediately afterwards, he had breakfast and then read the memorial for a while.

The memorials are almost the same. Either they cry and shout, saying that they have no food, or they are just the kind of people who urge the court to say that it is extremely urgent and ask the court to transfer the food immediately.

Of course, there have been occasional impeachment of Xinxian and Zhang Jingyi recently.

Emperor Tianqi has actually been tired of this kind of impeachment.

Generally speaking, Xinxian is not working hard to provide relief to the victims, but he is very motivated to enslave the victims. They regard the victims as their own cattle and horses, and it is Zhang Jingyi who is seeking his own personal gain.

When Emperor Tianqi saw this memorial, he showed disgust and threw the memorial aside, ignoring it.

At this time, after reading the memorial, Wei Zhongxian hurried over: "Your Majesty, the tribute students from the palace examination have all arrived at the main hall."

Emperor Tianqi felt expectation and couldn't help but say, "It's so great, I personally take the exam to teach them today."

The essence of the palace examination is that the emperor personally examined the candidates. If it were in the past, Emperor Tianqi would not have appeared in person. He just asked the eunuchs to bring his own questions and let the candidates write a policy discussion by themselves.

But now it’s different. Emperor Tianqi will do everything himself.

When Emperor Tianqi arrived at the hall, two or three hundred tribute students had arrived.

In addition, the ministers on both sides stood with breath. They liked to join in the fun and wanted to see what talents were among the tribute students.

When they saw Emperor Apocalypse, the tribute students bowed down one after another: "Long live."

Emperor Tianqi smiled and then sat on the imperial chair, looking at Liu Hongxun, Minister of Rites.

Liu Hongxun is not the chief examiner now, but Emperor Tianqi is the one. He is just responsible for presiding the exam.

Liu Hongxun then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you will be admitted to the imperial examination this year and will be awarded 231 tribute students. Today's palace examination will be 230 people!"

As soon as Liu Hongxun finished speaking, the palace was in an uproar.

He won 231 people, but only 230 people were reached.

One missing?

This is strange. I have never heard of Emperor Taizu Gao. Those who have won the tribute student do not take the palace examination.

Even if I am about to die of illness, I will leave my last breath and crawl.

Emperor Aoki was also very surprised, so he said, "Why, someone hasn't arrived?"

Liu Hongxun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the absent candidate is called Guan Shaoning."

The hall was in an uproar again.

Guan Shaoning was the focus of attention. Everyone was discussing whether he could continue to overwhelm the heroes in today's palace examination.

What's more, people like Liu Ruozai are all sharpening their knives. In private, they have long stated that they will avenge their shame today.

But as a result, everyone was looking forward to it... Guan Shaoning didn't come.

Emperor Tianqi was anxious. Guan Shaoning was Zhang Jingyi's disciple. As for this, he was his elder brother-in-law's disciple!

So he said with concern: "What, are you sick?"

"My..." Liu Hongxun smiled bitterly again and said, "I have sent someone to ask when I see that he has not come. After all, this is a big deal, but..."

"It's just... Guan Shaoning was found, and he was not sick, but... it's just... Guan Shaoning said rudely."

"Speak rudely?" Emperor Tianqi looked puzzled and said in surprise: "Even he dares to scold me?"

Liu Hongxun: “…”

Liu Hongxun took a deep breath before explaining patiently: "Your Majesty, Guan Shaoning said that he is very busy now and has no time."

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became one after another, and the sound of sucking cold air came from.
