Chapter 731
The general was stunned for a moment, he didn't quite understand what Zhao Ziyu meant by knowing it, so he followed him blankly.

Soon, he knew what Zhao Ziyu meant.

Zhao Ziyu went directly to Yingtian Mansion after going down the tower.There was a sea of ​​people in front of the gate of Yingtian Mansion, not far from the entrance was a porridge place set up by Shao Jin, but at this moment it was cold and empty, and there was no intention of cooking porridge to help the people at all.At the gate, countless people in ragged clothes almost rushed directly into Yingtian Mansion.

Seeing Zhao Ziyu and his party coming, the common people were stunned for a moment and backed away involuntarily.Facing these bloody soldiers guarding the city, the common people still couldn't help being afraid.Zhao Ziyu paused for a moment, then quickly walked into Yingtian Mansion.

In the lobby of Yingtian Mansion, Shao Jin was staring at a few officials secretly trying to get lucky.

An official sitting in the lobby persuaded with earnestness: "Sir Shao, this is a last resort. You took all the food to help the people and married them. What about the soldiers guarding the city?"

Looking at the pious people in front of him, the good-tempered Shao Jin couldn't help but curse, "Are these people allowed to starve to death? Don't forget, that's not 1000 or [-] people, but tens of thousands! If there is no food Eat, they are making a fuss in the city, can you bear it? Let alone defending the city, I'm afraid the city will fight first, right?"

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, Shao Jin would feel bored to look at these people more than once.Now that it's this time, these people's houses are still full of delicacies from mountains and seas, silk and satin, and it's a waste of food to give two bowls of gruel to the poor people every day.Doesn't he know that there is a shortage of food in the city?But so what?All the food will be given to the army defending the city, and after three to five months, when the armies of the Western Yue and Northern Han invade, except for the defeated soldiers of the Hua Kingdom, there will only be corpses left in the city?

Seeing Shao Jin being so stubborn, the man became a little impatient.Said in a deep voice, "Lord Shao! This is His Majesty's intention! Do you want to resist the edict? If the defenders have no food and cannot defend the city, then the city will be destroyed..."

"It will break sooner or later, what's the difference?" Shao Jin sneered.

"You! You are bold!" Everyone knows this fact, but few dare to say it.Shao Jin smiled indifferently. In order to defend such a ruined city for several months, he sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people in the city.If there were no common people, what use would Hua's territory be, no matter how vast it was?

The official stood up, glared at Shao Jin and snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and said, "I have said that this is His Majesty's imperial edict. If you have anything to say, you can tell His Majesty. Your Majesty has an order to confiscate all the food in the city." Seal them all up, and no one is allowed to touch them."

"You are all crazy!" Shao Jin said in a deep voice.Nowadays, most ordinary people in the city still have some surplus food in their homes, but it must not last long.When the food was used up, the food in the shops and granaries in the city would be sealed up again by the imperial court. At that time, the entire imperial city might be in chaos.Hundreds of thousands of people rioted, does His Majesty really have the confidence to suppress it?
The officials didn't care what Shao Jin said, their lives were now in the hands of Hua Huang, so naturally Hua Huang could do whatever he said, and they couldn't starve them anyway.Leaning at Shao Jin, the official said in a strange tone: "Although Mr. Shao is dedicated to serving the country, don't forget that you are just a small Yingtian Fu Yin. You should do your own duties well. Don't worry about other things."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Shao Jin's reaction and led the people away.

Shao Jin was the only one left in the lobby. Shao Jin was silent for a moment and suddenly put his foot on the chair that the official was sitting on just now, cursing in a low voice: "What are these things! No wonder the country is about to perish. Immortality is really God has no eyes."

"Shao Jin." Zhao Ziyu walked in and silently looked at Shao Jin who was sitting in the lobby somewhat slumped.All the yamen soldiers in Yingtian Mansion went out to stop the people outside the mansion, the whole Yingtian Mansion was empty and lifeless.

Shao Jin raised his head, smiled wryly at Zhao Ziyu and said, "Did you hear everything?"

Zhao Ziyu nodded and said in silence for a while, "How long can you last?"

Shao Jin smiled wryly and said: "If the people in the city are extremely hungry, they won't be able to support them for a day." People are really hungry and crazy and can do anything.Zhao Ziyu sat down opposite Shao Jin, was silent for a while and said, "I'll send some food over later."

Shocked, Shao Jin hurriedly said, "How can that be done!"

Emperor Hua didn't even allow him to release food to help the people, if it was until Zhao Ziyu used military supplies without authorization, then it would be fine.Zhao Ziyu looked at him calmly, "Is there any other way?"

Shao Jin was speechless, now all the food in the city is in the hands of the royal family, there is really no other way except for the military food that Zhao Ziyu can get out.Zhao Ziyu said in a deep voice: "I don't want to guard a city full of dead bodies. As for what to do in the future... who knows."

Shao Jin sighed a little dejectedly, slumped in the chair and said slowly: "I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered...the song I sang on the day Miss Gu family committed suicide two years ago. You have no way... ...Why doesn't the country perish..."

Zhao Ziyu remained silent. Although he was not there when Gu Yunge set himself on fire and Cuihong Pavilion, the song that Gu Yunge sang when he was dying was rumored to have been secretly circulated in the market.Some people even say that that day the song played in Cuihong Pavilion all night, until Cuihong Pavilion was reduced to ashes in the sea of ​​fire.

Shao Jin said in a daze: "Gu Yunge died only two months ago, Mu Qingyi was born, Gu Xiuting and His Highness Prince Ping fled far away, and the prince of the Tian family died dead and disabled... Tell me, is this the eldest lady of the Gu family? Is it caused by lingering ghosts?"

Zhao Ziyu said calmly, "I don't know."

Shao Jin obviously felt that his imagination was a bit absurd, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Even if it wasn't Miss Gu's curse, I think...Hua Guo has today, and it's probably retribution."

It is a serious crime to use military rations without permission at any time.Zhao Ziyu didn't wait for Emperor Hua's questioning, he waited for Murong Ke.Murong Ke was almost ecstatic when he heard that Zhao Ziyu used military rations to help the people in the city without permission.Even he hadn't thought that Zhao Ziyu would make such a childish mistake at this moment.And he was looking at not being able to catch Zhao Ziyu's handle.

Upon receiving the news, Murong Ke didn't even bother to notify Hua Huang.He took people directly to the Prince's Mansion of Anxi County to inquire about the crime and marry him.

Although Zhao Ziyu didn't expect Murong Ke to come so fast, it wasn't surprising.After all, paper can't keep fire. At this time, no matter what he does is wrong, he just wants peace of mind.

"Zhao Ziyu, you are so courageous!" Murong Ke rushed into the hall of Anxi County Prince's Mansion angrily, staring at Zhao Ziyu and said in a deep voice.
