The concubine is so charming

Chapter 815 Sick, very sick

Meng Rou was still worried, but the people around her had already attracted their attention, so Mu Qingchen had no choice but to come forward at this time.

The curtain of the imperial court was lifted, and Meng Rou hurriedly sat down respectfully, not daring to exceed the rules, so as not to arouse the resentment of the people.

Seeing the true face of the emperor, the surrounding people were all excited, and the scene was a bit out of control for a while, but fortunately, the imperial guards dealt with it in a timely manner and did not cause any chaos.

"You stopped Yu Tuo in the street, but what's wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty! Now that you are high above you, with beautiful families by your side, don't you care about the life and death of the common people?"

Hearing this, the common people looked at each other in blank dismay. They haven't heard of any disaster recently. Some people can't survive?Why do these words sound so harsh?

"This is the first time I've heard someone accuse me of not caring about the lives of the people. Tell me carefully, where did you come from? Why can't you live?" Mu Qingchen said coldly.

"Caomin and others come from Shanghang Village, which is under the rule of Siyang City. In the early spring of this year, Siyang City suffered from drought, which affected the grain sowing. It rotted in the ground. But the emperor not only did not reduce or exempt taxes, but the tax money increased by [-]% compared with previous years. We couldn’t afford it at all, many old people and children were starving to death, we really had no choice, so we made the move to block people in the street.”

The people in the capital were talking about it. Siyang City is hundreds of miles away from the capital. It is not a big place, but it can produce high-quality cotton yarn, so many people have heard of this place.

"Your Majesty, the people in Siyang City can't live anymore, and you know that the grain harvest is in short supply and the price of salt remains high, yet you still want to congratulate your concubine. What is the difference between what you do and a foolish emperor?"

"That is, is it possible that now the emperor has become the kind of emperor who does not care about the people and only cares about his own pleasure?"

"Anyway, we can't go on anymore, so why don't we crash into Yu Jia's front, so that the emperor can wake up in time!"

The more Meng Rou heard it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but tightly grabbed the handkerchief in her hand: "Your Majesty, these people are clearly here to smear you on purpose!"

"I know, just watch."

After those people finished speaking, they wanted to bump into the imperial driver, but before they could get up, the spears of the surrounding guards were thrown forward, and they were firmly pressed to the ground.

At this time, the people in the capital were not convinced.

Someone shouted: "You dare to charge the emperor, do you want to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate?"

"I see these people are uneasy and kind!"

"That is, the distance from Siyang City to the capital city is hundreds of miles. They fled all the way. Is it possible that officials from all over the place did not find out? Now the emperor has placed supervision offices in various places, in order to prevent officials from cheating and reporting. There are disasters in various places, there are refugees going to Beijing, and the booklets have been sent to the emperor long ago, and notices will be posted in the capital to let the people pay attention to the victims, why is there no movement at all?"

"Hey, look, isn't it too late to talk? Why does the man on the left look so smooth?"

"It's true, I just smeared some dust on my face, it looks like it's pampered, and it looks more juicy than us."

"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by these unscrupulous people. The grass people are merchants. They went to Siyang City to buy cotton yarn a few days ago. The people in the city are happy. I heard that some villages were affected by disasters, but the county of Siyang City Shou also sent someone to deal with it in time, and I heard that a lot of food has been allocated!"

"These people must be making trouble on purpose!"

The people surrounded by the guards were dumbfounded. They wanted to get up and crash into Yu Jia's front according to the plan, but the spears at the neck were sharp, and they might be stabbed right before they even moved.

Even the words that were said before were completely refuted by the people in the capital, and the scene made them unable to go up or down for a while.

These people exchanged glances vaguely, and were a little at a loss for a while: Do you still want to do as the master ordered?
The emperor hadn't said a word yet, and the game they set up was almost destroyed.

Meng Rou secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the people in the capital have a firm mind, and they were swayed by these people within a few words."

Mu Qingchen shook her head secretly: "Just wait and see."

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared on the high tower.

He held a heavy cloth bag in his hand, grabbed a handful of things from the bag, and sprinkled it downstairs.

"Grab money!"

The copper plate was smashed into the crowd, and some people reached out to catch it, and then they were dumbfounded: "It's a copper plate!"

"There is also broken silver, I picked up a piece of broken silver!"

Seeing money falling from the top of the city tower, the scene was chaotic for a while.

The common people looked up at the city tower one after another, their eyes were extraordinarily bright, many people pushed forward, the forbidden army tried their best to stop them, but they were still staggered by the impact.

The eyes of those trapped by the guards lit up. Although they failed, fortunately the master arranged a counter move.

With so many people gathered together, once they crowded and stomped on each other, it would not be as simple as killing a few people.

Now, the people in the capital are still willing to refute them. When the news of the injuries of the people from all over the place spreads to the capital, can they continue to flatter the emperor like this?

The person who threw the money on the tower was extremely quick. Seeing that the people under the city gate were out of control, he quickly grabbed a few more and threw it down!
"Grab money!"

At this moment, a feathered arrow shot through the air with a whoosh, and directly shot the man who was throwing money on the tower right through.

"If you want to distribute money to the common people, you just have to organize people to line up to get it. Why do you have to use this way of distributing money?"

The imperial guards moved quickly and tried their best to support the crowded flow of people. The emperor had already ordered that no matter what happened, they must hold on. As long as no one fell down, there would be no big trouble.

"Everyone, don't be fooled, the copper plates and broken silver he scattered are all fake!"

"fake?"

"Let me just say, if this person is fine and has nothing wrong with him, why would he give the money to others?"

"It turned out to be fake, which made us excited for nothing."

Hearing that someone was throwing money down at the gate of the city, the people were so excited that they were rushing towards the gate of the city. Before they could take two steps, there was another news: the copper coins and silver were fake. , wanting to use this to cause turmoil in the city, the emperor has already ordered that man to be shot!
The people stopped immediately, and gradually retreated to both sides according to the guidance of the march: "This person's heart is too dark! This crowd is the most vulnerable to injury."

"Isn't that what they are doing? Fortunately, the emperor is wise and powerful."

"What happened to those people who stopped the emperor's escort and made trouble?"

"I was detained by the guards, should I be pushed into the sky prison at this moment?"

The people were about to disperse when they saw someone rushing in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion: "What are you doing here?"

"The Governor of Jingzhao wants to interrogate those who stopped the emperor from getting on the car. I will join in the fun. Those people are too dark. They obviously see that we are living in peace and looking for trouble!"

"Wait, I'll go too, and I'll bring two handfuls of rotten vegetable leaves. They were all crushed just now, so I can't eat them when I take them home. Just throw them in those people's faces!"
