After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 64 Infernal Fury
The east is pale, and the city of Yanzhou has ushered in a new day.

Today is an important day for Li Zhi to help the victims. Early in the morning, Eunuch Chen waited for Li Zhi to get up and wash up.

Outside the tent, Yang Kuo was wearing the censor's robe, and led all the civil and military officials to wait quietly.

As the sun was rising, a slanted beam of light passed over the top of the tent. Li Lingyue, wearing a princess dress, walked out of the tent accompanied by Daizhao Cui.

The imperial army is already ready to go, and they lined up in a neat queue to protect the safety of the emperor and princess!
Li Zhi was in a good mood, and he took Li Lingyue's hand, and the father and daughter rode on the imperial luan, surrounded by palace people and officials, and marched to the east of the city.

The emperor distributed porridge and food, which naturally caused a sensation in the whole city. Countless refugees and common people flocked outside the east gate to witness this historical grand occasion.

One day in advance, a large space had been vacated outside the east gate. A high platform was built under the city wall, and only the emperor's dragon chair was placed. On one side of the site, a hundred servants were burying pots and building stoves, preparing to cook.

Before noon, the east gate was already overcrowded. Apart from the refugees who received porridge, there were also people from surrounding states and counties who came to see the emperor and the princess. Of course, most of them came to see the princess.

Li Lingyue's name has now spread throughout half of the Tang Dynasty. This princess who likes to behead her has two extreme reviews. Those who love her call her Princess Bodhisattva, while those who hate her call her Princess Shura.

At noon, with the arrival of Li Zhi, tens of thousands of people knelt down and shouted "Long live!" The huge sound waves lasted for a long time, and the sound shook the sky.

Li Zhi took Li Lingyue's hand and stepped up to the high platform in high spirits.

Eunuch Chen unfolded an imperial decree and sang loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone including Li Lingyue knelt down to listen to the holy metaphor.

Eunuch Chen was very angry and read aloud:

"I flatter Hongye, I can't spread the weather, but I feel contrary to Yin and Yang, so that the people starve and eat each other. It's my fault. I can't make it in a few years, and there are droughts, diseases and insects. Worrying. Foolish and ignorant, I have not yet reached the blame. In the middle of the night, I caressed myself and thought, as if facing an ice abyss. If the years and valleys are rich and prosperous, the world will be peaceful, and disasters will be removed from my body, so as to preserve all nations, this is what I wish, and I am willing to be generous, and I respect this!"

After Eunuch Chen finished reading, the people broke out into a roar of tsunami: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After all the officials were seated, the porridge distribution in Zhenlin officially began.

Dozens of large pots were lined up, filled with a lot of sesame oil, and as soon as the oil boiled, shirtless cooks picked up sacks and poured something into the pot. The strong aroma quickly dispersed.

It is clear that the porridge is good, how can there be fried things?

The refugees who rushed to the front looked into the pot, and when they saw clearly what was fried in the pot, their expressions suddenly changed.

Some people were so frightened that they screamed and backed away again and again;

Some people had stomach tumbling and quickly covered their mouths;
Some people squatted directly on the ground and started to vomit.

"It's locusts in the pan! They're frying locusts!"

There was constant commotion in the crowd. Those people who were looking forward to drinking porridge were instantly angry when they heard that the officials cooked locusts. They were still grateful for the grace of God.

"The old emperor will give us this to eat! Do we really treat us as pigs and dogs!"

"I just said that the officials must not be so kind. They eat meat so much that they don't care about our lives!"

"This is forcing us to die!"

"Anyway, if I can't survive, it's better to turn my mother back!"

"Yes, against him!"

The anger of the refugees began to spread wildly, and they smashed the bowls in their hands in anger, rushed to the soup kitchen and started smashing.

The forbidden army moved after hearing the news, forming a human wall to separate the refugees, trying to control the situation!
"Eunuch Chen, what happened to the people in the audience?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Zhi frowned, "Isn't it the porridge? Why does it look like something is fried!"

"Your Majesty, this..." Eunuch Chen looked at Li Lingyue, hesitant to speak.

Li Lingyue got up and walked in front of Li Zhi. Under Li Zhi's puzzled eyes, she bent down and knelt down.

"Yue'er, you—"

Li Lingyue took a deep breath, and said truthfully to Li Zhi: "Aye, it was my daughter who made her own decision and replaced the food with locusts. What is given to the people today is not relief porridge, but fried locusts!"

"Nonsense!" Li Zhi slapped the dragon chair and stood up abruptly, but then his head became dizzy and he staggered to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Chen has quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly supported Li Zhi.

Li Zhi shook his dragon robe, knocked off Eunuch Chen's hand, pointed at Li Lingyue who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted loudly:
"Ni Nu, you...you are so courageous to tease the common people like this, do you really think that the common people dare not rebel?"

"Aye calm down, my daughter will calm down the emotions of the people!"

"What do you use to appease the people! You let the people eat locusts, which is insulting them. Do you really think that massacre can solve the problem? There are thousands of people in Tang Dynasty, can you kill them cleanly?"

The more Li Zhi spoke, the angrier he became, and the dizziness became more and more serious. He couldn't hold on any longer, and fell backwards. Eunuch Chen hurriedly helped him onto the dragon chair.

Li Zhi rubbed his temples vigorously, trying to keep himself awake. Although his daughter had caused a catastrophe, he became a father, so he had to stand up and help her deal with the aftermath. Once he fell down and the refugees completely lost control, the consequences would be as follows: It must be unimaginable.

"Eunuch Chen, let Yang Yushi take over all the disaster relief affairs quickly, and immediately exchange it for food, hurry up!"

"Aye! Please trust my daughter, she will definitely—"

"Shut up!" Li Zhi directly interrupted Li Lingyue, glaring at Eunuch Chen beside him: "Hurry up!"

"Yes! This servant will do it now!"

Eunuch Chen hurriedly called two young eunuchs to wait on Li Zhi, and then trotted off the stage.

Seeing that her arrangement was about to be stopped, Li Lingyue also became anxious.

"Aye, my daughter will come back later and explain to you!"

She stood up, and regardless of the dizzy Li Zhi, she lifted her skirt and went after Eunuch Chen.

"Bastard, get out of here! Are you going to piss me off?"

Li Zhi shouted at Li Lingyue's back, but Li Lingyue never looked back.

Mei Niang, look, this is the good daughter you gave me!
Li Zhi was in despair, and ordered to the commander of the imperial army:
"Go! Bring the princess back to me!"

The originally respectable porridge scene is now being staged a funny scene. Li Lingyue is chasing Eunuch Chen from behind, and the imperial army is chasing the princess from behind.

As time passed, the angry refugees had already begun to attack the defense line of the imperial army. Under the instigation of malicious people, they were desperate and prepared to challenge the supreme imperial power with their bravery.

Censor Yang Kuo, who was sitting under the stage, cast a meaningful look at Li Zhi on the high stage, then stroked his beard in self-concern, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Zhi forced himself to stand up, and with the support of two young eunuchs, he walked to the side of the high platform, and continued to appease the people below.

But how could his voice cover the overwhelming anger of the people, no matter what he said, it would be difficult for the people in the audience to hear him.

Just as Li Zhi was on the verge of despair, the drums on the tower rang.

Familiar drums, familiar rhythms, familiar scenes.

Ever since Li Lingyue came to Fuzhou, the common people have become conditioned reflexes to the war drums on the tower.

Whenever the drums of war are sounded, there is only one thought in their subconscious mind:
The princess is going to kill again! ! !
