Three Kingdoms: Faint King, starting from forcing Dong Zhuo to offer his granddaughter

The two left Zhengde Street and walked towards the east of the city.

Along the way, I saw many refugees begging along the street.

It was several times more than what they usually saw.

The eyebrows of the second daughter couldn't help but frown.

"Sister, why did they plant a straw in the child's body?"

Cai Ying saw many young children squatting on the ground on the side of the road, staring at her with dark eyes, and couldn't bear it.

She took out the money that she planned to use to buy pastries and distributed it to the refugees.

"That's called inserting a label, which means selling one's own child."

Cai Yan explained sadly.

She really wants to help these poor people, but her own ability is limited.

Not long ago, the emperor cheated a lot of food from their family.

Their own lives have become very tight, how can they have extra money to help so many refugees.

"what?"

Hearing Cai Yan's explanation, Cai Ying found it inconceivable, "How could they be willing to sell their children?"

Cai Yan sighed lightly,

"I'm definitely not willing to part with it, but what can I do?"

"If you don't sell the children, the children will starve to death with them. If you sell the children, they will have money to fill their stomachs. Moreover, after the children are bought, they will definitely not starve."

Although the sold children may become slaves and lose their personal freedom,

But it's better than starving to death.

After listening, Cai Ying fell silent.

In her heart, she silently felt sorry for those children.

"Humph!"

"Father must have been deceived by the emperor. If he was an excellent emperor, how could so many people be displaced and reduced to buying their own children for a living!"

"Sister, you must never marry him!"

Cai Ying clenched her fist tightly and shouted angrily.

In her perception,

If the common people did not live a good life, it must be because the emperor did not do a good job.

In my heart, I naturally complained to Liu Bian.

Cai Yan shook his head slightly,

"You can't say that."

"This is all a problem left over from before. His Majesty has only been on the throne for three months, so we can't blame him."

She knew very well that the emperor had been on the throne for three months, and for two and a half months, he was under control.

How could it be possible to take care of the people of the world even if it is difficult to guarantee one's own life.

"I really hope that His Majesty is really a Mingjun, Shengjun, as my father said!"

"That way, the people of the world can live a better life sooner."

Cai Yan's brows are uncomfortable,

I added in my heart, "If you are really a Mingjun, even if you let me be a servant girl by your side, I am also willing."

Chapter 56 Tongque Terrace Is Efang Palace?Ministers against

56 Tongque Terrace is Efang Palace?The ministers objected!

morning,

Hundreds of officials are on display, but the position of the Son of Heaven is empty.

The time for going to court has passed, and the emperor has not come yet.

but,

Baiguan has long been used to it.

What's more, behind the bead curtain, there is the queen mother who presides over the government.

There are some things that it is more effective to talk to the queen mother than to the emperor.

Therefore, without waiting for Liu Bian, everyone started the early court.

"Qizou Empress Dowager, there was a severe drought in Runan, Hanoi Baibo thieves were rampant, Wancheng, Chenliu and other places were full of thieves, causing people in various counties to be displaced. Just yesterday, the number of refugees in Rujing exceeded [-]! If this continues , Let the refugees gather, I am afraid that there will be chaos."

Luoyang ordered Zhou Yi to play first.

Thousands of refugees suddenly appeared in the city. As the county magistrate of Luoyang, he immediately felt Alexander.

In the past few days, many people have starved to death in the city.

Moreover, the number of snatches and thefts has increased dozens of times compared to before, which has brought great hidden dangers to the security of Luoyang City.

If it is not dealt with early, the deterioration of law and order will only be a trivial matter, because the plague caused by the dead will be troublesome.

"Has Zhou Qing's family implemented countermeasures?"

Behind the bamboo curtain, Empress Dowager He asked lightly.

Zhou Yi hurriedly replied,

"I have set up many porridge sheds, but there is no surplus food in the treasury. It can last for a day or two at most. For the refugees who flock to the capital, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket."

In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and the grain harvests in all parts of the country have been poor.

Coupled with the fact that the princes from all over the country support their own self-respect, it is all kinds of tax evasion for the court, and the treasury has long been empty.

"Masters, do you have a good strategy?"

Queen Mother He asked.

"I suggest that we should immediately set up checkpoints to prevent refugees from entering the city." Someone said.

But it was immediately refuted.

"That's stupid!"

"Keeping desperate refugees out of the city is tantamount to murdering them!"

"The emperor's prestige will definitely be greatly affected. At the same time, so many people died outside the city. If the corpses cannot be disposed of in time, it will definitely cause a plague!"

Da Honglu and Chen Ji scolded.

"But allowing them to enter the city without food supplies will only cause greater disasters!"

"Also, the imperial court can't support so many refugees for nothing!"

"I'm also in favor of setting up checkpoints."

"That's right, how can you disturb the law and order in the capital because of some refugees!"

The ministers were divided into two factions, and some felt that the people should be lured into the city to give them a way out.

And some people feel that they can't even take care of themselves right now, so how can they have the energy to manage so many refugees?

Dispelling them is the best choice.

Faced with the endless disputes among the ministers, the Empress Dowager He felt dizzy for a while.

It is okay to let her manage the harem, but she is not good at handling internal affairs.

At this time, I don't know who to listen to at all.

"Xiao Lianzi, did I go to the wrong place!"

"This is the market, not Chengde Palace?"

suddenly,

A lazy voice came from above the ninth level, bringing the disputes in the room to an abrupt end!

When all the officials saw the emperor coming, they quickly bowed and saluted!

"I wish Your Majesty good luck and longevity!"

Liu Bian came behind the bead curtain and said hello, "Mother's Queen."

Then, go back to your seat.

"Your Majesty, the refugees in the city..."

Because the Queen Mother hadn't made a decision yet, Liu Bian had already arrived, so Zhou Yi had no choice but to ask him to make a decision.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Liu Bian waving his hand,

Liu Bian ignored him, but looked at Dong Zhuo.

"Grand Master Dong, Wei Changshi, have you done the things I entrusted to you two?"

Dong Zhuo hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have selected the address according to your request. This is a topographic map, please have a look."

He held up a map with both hands.

Xiao Lianzi took it over and handed it to Liu Bian.

According to the markings on the map, Dong Zhuo chose a location ten miles north of Luoyang, a place where mountains and rivers depend on each other.

There is also a nice name there - Beauty Gu.

From a distance, that mountain looks like a beautiful woman looking back.

"The location is well chosen, and construction can start today!"

Liu Bian said.
