I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 373 This is their destiny

"Hurry up, hurry up. If you miss His Majesty's important event, your heads may be in danger!"

Outside a certain county town in Jizhou, tens of thousands of people were marching in a weeping crowd.

Around them, there were hundreds of subordinate officials wearing soap robes and holding long whips, who were constantly scolding these people.

His words were all in a condescending tone.

And these people are just a group of subordinates at the lowest level in the official career of the Han Dynasty.

Even many of them are not even subordinate officials, they are just responsible for assisting subordinate officials in doing things.

There is essentially no difference between them and the people they are driving away.

Maybe even worse than them!

But now they are showing off their power around them, and the long whips in their hands keep falling into the air, even falling on these common people.

Let the people let out bursts of screams.

But these people, who were clearly being beaten, could do nothing when facing these guys. They could only cry and do as they said.

And this scene not only happened somewhere in Jizhou, but also happened in front of Deng Sui.

Even Deng Sui is one of them!

Of course, not to mention a group of subordinate officials, even the Jizhou governor and the two thousand-ton county guards did not dare to be so presumptuous in the face of Deng Sui.

It's a pity that they didn't know that this was Deng Sui, they didn't recognize Deng Sui, and they couldn't believe that this was the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty!

And Deng Sui had no intention of telling these people his identity.

A few days ago, Deng Sui, the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, finally packed up everything and left Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, with Cai Lun and several bodyguards chosen by Cai Lun for herself!

Of course, Deng Sui really wanted to leave and see for himself what the world was like.

It's a pity that she is the queen mother of a big man after all.

Today's world is indeed not easy to live in, although both Deng Sui and Liu Long are working hard to govern the world.

But there are still various problems in this world.

If something unexpected happened to Deng Sui, the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, somewhere in the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would really not want to meet in large numbers.

Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Long to really let Deng Sui out alone.

Not even with Cai Lun!

But even with a few guards, this still couldn't trouble Deng Sui.

After they left Luoyang, under Cai Lun's disguise, they immediately became a family who had to stay away from their homeland due to natural disasters.

There are many such people in the world, and Deng Sui is not worried about any accidents or mistakes.

She even bought two children on the way.

It was not intentional or for any reason, it was just that Deng Sui felt pain in his heart after seeing with his own eyes the people who were helpless due to natural disasters and could only stick the withered grass representing business on the children's heads.

Not only because they want to sell their children, but also because they can't even find an ear of rice.

The most important thing is that the elders who sold their children did not dislike their children, nor did they want to find a way out for these children.

They just want their children to live!

Deng Sui saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears the future that these children may face in the future.

It means that if they are replaced by other people's children, they will appear in the earthen jar and become other people's rations!

How could Deng Sui not know about exchanging children for food?

But when these things really happened in front of her, it was all so ironic.

At that moment, Deng Sui even had a very absurd idea. "Is this the world I have governed for so long?" Deng Sui really wanted to cry at that moment and didn't know where his tears were. "I have always felt that I have governed the world very well."

"Of course the world governed by the Queen Mother is very good!"

Cai Lun looked at Deng Sui with a look of pain and despair. Although he couldn't bear it, he still told her the truth.

"This is not to excuse the Queen Mother, but because it is indeed the truth.

The Queen Mother can even ask other people, anyone in the world, even the people who are struggling to survive!

The empress dowager's virtues and everything she has done for the world over the years can be clearly seen by the people of my country and all the people.

I have already asked those people.

They are just a part of the common people in the world, but if there is no Queen Mother, they will be the mainstream of the world.

Maybe they are unwilling, but they themselves know that this may be their destiny.

Moreover, this is Jizhou, which is very close to the capital, and there are censors patrolling back and forth, and they will be reported to the court soon.

Your Majesty will immediately arrange for people to provide disaster relief and appeasement.

As for their current situation, it can only be said that this is their fate. "

When Cai Lun said the last thing, he couldn't help but sigh.

Because he also came from a poor background, he knew very well that there was really no way around this kind of thing.

Natural disasters are different from man-made disasters. If it is a military disaster or a man-made disaster, there may be wise people who can predict it in advance.

However, it is difficult to predict natural disasters. You can only wait until a natural disaster breaks out before you can respond as quickly as possible.

But it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, even if the court uses the fastest speed to solve this matter.

And if capable ministers and officials are actually sent out, this process and time will also cause many people to die in natural disasters.

It is reasonable to even accidentally cause a disaster.

This cannot be said to be Deng Sui's fault, so it can only be said to be their bad luck.

But these words were still extremely painful after hearing them in Deng Sui's ears.

She took away the two children as best she could, seemingly just to relieve the powerlessness in her heart.

But in this way, their group is more like a group of refugees, and the natural disasters in Jizhou in recent years will not arouse any suspicion.

Originally, Deng Sui thought that the imperial court would quickly make countermeasures and quickly quell this tragedy.

But what Deng Sui never imagined was that she did not wait for relief and rescue from the court.

What was waiting was the relocation of the imperial court!

In other words, it is a spontaneous migration in Jizhou!

Take away all these refugees who have to leave their homes, move them away, and then send them to the two Youbin states to guard the border!

Youzhou and Bingzhou have always been sparsely populated because they are located on the frontier, but they need a large number of people to work as corvees to build the place, build forts and cities.

The local officials who were originally worried have finally found such a suitable population and reasons.

But they never expected that during this process, a group of people who shouldn't be here would also appear.
