Lord Moyu was forced to open

Snowflakes are falling~

cough cough...

The heavy snow had only fallen for less than half an hour, and the entire Bianjing city had been covered with a layer of white gauze.

The dozens of people kneeling at the entrance of the palace were shivering from the cold. However, no one dared to get up and leave at this time.

Everyone knows that their way to survive from their home depends on what happened today. If they give up halfway, then they will have no choice but to wait for death.

Among the group of trembling people, the one kneeling at the front was Lu Yang Wang Zhao Yu.

In terms of seniority, King Zhao Yu of Luyang is considered to be the grandson of Zhao Jun. The Prince of Luyang is a royal palace that has been inherited since the founding of the country. It has always been a false prince with only a title but no land.

It is now the ninth term.

Originally, according to the annual salary provided by the imperial court to Prince Lu Yang's Palace, Prince Lu Yang's Palace would not be involved in this matter.

But Prince Luyang's Palace is greedy. Over the past hundred years, it has been purchasing land around Gyeonggi, and using the power of Prince Luyang's Palace, it has occupied many people's land.

Naturally, Prince Luyang’s palace did not dare to report this land because of its improper origin.

The final result was that the Luyang Palace was found to have concealed 3,000 acres of land!

Three thousand acres!
A total of three thousand acres of land!

Originally, Prince Lu Yang's palace had not taken this seriously, thinking that the court could only pick it up high and put it down gently.

But when the Duke of Cheng was expelled from his title, they suddenly realized that the court might be serious about it this time.

It wouldn't matter if it was just that the land was confiscated. As long as the palace was still there, it would be able to accumulate it. It would be nothing more than a physical pain.

But Prince Luyang’s Mansion is afraid!

They were afraid that they would end up like the Duke Cheng's Mansion, so they came here.

And the person next to him is not simple. The top figure in the hierarchy, Wei Guogong Xu Shou, who once commanded the capital camp.

Before Zhao Jun ascended the throne, all the Imperial Guards in Bianjing belonged to this general manager.

After Zhao Jun ascended the throne, he disbanded and reorganized all the imperial guards in the capital. Naturally, this man resigned and returned home to retire.

However, today they all knelt here.

Seeing the snow falling heavier and heavier in the sky, King Zhao Yu of Luyang said with despair on his face:
"Wei Guogong, we have been kneeling here all morning, and His Majesty still refuses to see us. Is His Majesty really so heartless?"

Xu Shou knelt on the ground with a gloomy expression, and sighed: "We, the nobles and relatives of the emperor, should stand beside His Majesty.

However, now it has become a hindrance to His Majesty, and it is inevitable that His Majesty will be angry. "

"But... couldn't it be like this before? We are relatives of the emperor, and we are related to His Majesty by blood! How can Your Majesty not feel the least bit of blood?"

Zhao Yu was crying and full of sorrow.

Duke Xu Shou of Wei shook his head helplessly, feeling secretly disdainful in his heart. He even killed his own brothers. Do they still care about you, a relative whose bloodline is far away?

Do you think too highly of yourself?

Although I think so in my heart, I definitely can't say it on my face.

Xu Shou shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty is very determined to clear the land. Even the imperial village has been inspected, which shows how determined your Majesty is.

But at this time, we have become His Majesty's obstacle. In order for Qingzhang to continue, even if His Majesty cares about the relationship between relatives, I am afraid he will have to deal with it severely at this time! "

"Ah? What should I do then! I don't want to lose my throne!"

Zhao Yu's face was panicked.

Xu Shou whispered: "The prince's throne should not be lost.

However, I am afraid that all the acres accumulated by the Luyang Palace over the years will have to be handed over. "

When Zhao Yu heard this, his expression was stunned, and his head hung down feebly.

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Shou didn't say anything more. He sighed, lowered his head and continued to kneel down.

Time passed bit by bit, and the snow around me became thicker and thicker.

The sky was gradually getting darker.

Zhao Jun walked out of Funing Palace, looked at Daxue, who was already calf-deep, and coldly ordered: "Let them come in."

Wang Huaien then hurriedly took people out of the palace to summon people. By the time Wang Huaien arrived, many people had already collapsed from the cold.

Many people have already developed a fever, but no matter what happens to you, since His Majesty has summoned you, you have to go!

After some further arrangements, I simply changed my clothes and drank a bowl of ginger soup.

Those who still had energy were taken to Funing Palace.

When they arrived at the door of the main hall of Funing Palace, the aroma of food wafted in, and everyone who smelled it couldn't help but swallow.

Xu Shou and others knelt for a whole day without eating a drop of water or a grain of rice, and his greedy throat kept rolling.

Wang Huaien's expression remained unchanged, and after asking for instructions, he brought everyone in together.

Originally, there were forty or fifty people from the royal family and nobles who came in and knelt outside, but now there are only sixteen people who are still holding on without fainting.

Sixteen people entered the hall under the leadership of Wang Huai'en. As soon as they entered the hall, the strong smell of mutton soup echoed in everyone's noses.

Once again, everyone's throats rolled disobediently.

It turned out that Zhao Jun was drinking mutton soup at this time.

In the middle of winter, the weather is cold, and a bowl of peppery mutton soup will instantly make you feel comfortable.

It's a pity that only Zhao Jun can drink now, while the others can only watch and drool.

Zhao Jun ate meat and drank soup with big mouthfuls. Even when Xu Shou and others came in, he didn't even look at them and continued to eat by himself.

After Xu Shou and others greeted them, Xu Shou, who was the most discerning, took the lead and knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty! I am wrong!"

The others also reacted. Although they had been kneeling for a whole day, they immediately knelt down as if they were pushing over a golden mountain or a jade pillar.

"Your Majesty, I know my mistake!"

Huhu~
Gulu gulu~
The main hall was quiet, except for the bubbling sound of mutton soup being boiled in the pot.

Zhao Jun seemed not to have seen them and was still eating by himself.

They didn't dare to make any more noise and waited silently on the ground.

until……

After taking the last mouthful of mutton soup, Zhao Jun let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his belly and leaned on the back of the chair.

After taking the handkerchief handed over by Wang Huai'en and wiping his mouth, Zhao Jun seemed to belatedly see all the nobles and royal relatives on the ground.

"Hey! So you are our nobles and relatives of the emperor? Why do you have such leisure to come to my humble house?"

Everyone bowed their heads.

Zhao Jun didn't wait for an answer and didn't take it seriously.

He slowly got up from the table, walked to the window nearby, looked at the snow that was still falling outside, and suddenly sighed:
"It's snowing again. I don't know how many people in Song Dynasty are still shivering in this severe cold and have nowhere to hide.

Wang Banban? "

"The slave is here!"

"How many fainted outside the palace gate today?"

"Your Majesty, there are thirty of them!"

"Only thirty!"

Zhao Jun smiled, and his words immediately made Xu Shou and others who were kneeling on the ground twitch involuntarily.

What do you mean by only thirty?
Zhao Jun continued to talk.

Reaching out of the window and feeling the cold snowflakes falling on his hands, Zhao Jun stared blankly at the snowflakes melting in his hands and said word by word: "Last winter, there were 391 households in Gyeonggi Province. More than 1,400 people were frozen to death in winter!
They were supposed to live in a warm house, eat hot food, and survive the severe cold.

But some people took a fancy to their land, and relied on their power to seize everything they had, leaving their whole family to die suddenly in that severe cold, and their bodies to be exposed in the wilderness!

This is the largest number of people who have died due to man-made disasters in the Gyeonggi region since the first year of Xingwu!
After I heard this, I wanted to bite you!
What makes me even more angry is that the people who caused these man-made disasters were none other than the nobles and relatives of the emperor who I thought were supposed to be the pillars of our Song Dynasty.

You... threw my face to the ground and trampled on it again and again! humiliation!

Let me lose all my face! "
