Chapter 32 “Border Disaster Relief”

In the morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report that the Queen had donated the most among the concubines.

Eunuch Bao almost couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing this. Seeing him wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, Emperor Shengyuan glared at him and cursed: "You old man, you're still laughing!"

"This servant is happy for Your Majesty. There is such a virtuous queen who considers everything for Your Majesty. The love between the Emperor and the Empress is so deep that it will definitely become a good story!"

"You also said that if you make fun of me again, you will be put in a rape room." Emperor Shengyuan said with a black face.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, I don't dare anymore!"

"You are the only one in this big palace who dares to make fun of me. If anyone else dared, I would have beaten him up long ago."

Emperor Shengyuan walked forward with a dark face, and Eunuch Bao quickly followed.

When he arrived at Fengyi Palace, the concubines had just finished paying their respects to the queen. Just as they were about to leave, they heard the eunuch shouting in a loud voice:
"His Majesty is here!"

The concubines hurriedly arranged their clothes. Some touched their collars to see if they were straight, and some touched their hair accessories to see if they were in place.Then he followed the queen and knelt down to greet her.

The emperor and the empress sat at the top, and the concubines sat in two rows.

Emperor Shengyuan said: "I am very grateful for everyone's support for this donation, especially the queen. She couldn't help but take the lead in collecting donations, and she was the one who donated the most. I was very touched. He looked at the queen and held her hand."

The queen felt as happy as eating honey, but before she could say a few sensational words, the emperor looked at the concubines and changed the topic:

"It's just that we haven't collected enough money and food yet. The queen has already donated enough, so everyone except the queen can donate a little more this time."

The concubines were a little hesitant, because the previous donation had already reached the upper limit, and no one spoke for a while.

Emperor Shengyuan felt as if his words would be lost if thrown out, so he said: "If no one donates, then I will stay in the Queen's Palace forever."

The queen knew what he was doing and was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face.

However, the concubines were furious. From now on, His Majesty would live alone in the Queen's Palace, so they didn't care how they lived. They donated ten yuan, 20 yuan, and 30 yuan, and finally Concubine Hai won.

After donating the money, she didn't fall asleep. The concubines were upset. They really lost their wives and lost their troops, but there was nothing they could do. After all, Concubine Hai had a mine in her family and was very favored. She was someone who could compete with the queen. They could only Can turn off the engine.

Emperor Shengyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The Queen was married to him and had been following him since diving. The two of them had a close relationship. He also gave the Queen enough respect and honor, which was considered worthy of her. .

But the Queen likes to be a slave most of the time. No other concubine knows how to please him, bring him a sense of freshness, make him feel younger, and feel that he is still as powerful as when he was young, so he will go to the Queen's He sits in the palace, but rarely stays in the queen's palace.After getting the result he wanted, Emperor Shengyuan said a few official words and left secretly happy.

Eunuch Bao thought to himself: "Your Majesty, your behavior is a bit scumbag!" But he didn't dare to say it out loud. Although he had been serving the emperor since he was a child and had some feelings of master and servant, he couldn't say anything.

The empress and concubines took the lead in implementing the suggestions put forward by the emperor. Some of the officials' families donated money, materials, and grain. Soon, [-] shi of grain were raised and they went to the border with Xiao Beichen's [-]-strong army.

After several days of long journey, we finally arrived at the border of Manchester City after [-] days.As soon as Xiao Beichen's army entered the city, they saw a dilapidated and desolate scene.The cold wind was howling, and the houses of each household were thatched houses, which had collapsed after rounds of robbery. All the hair and grass were blown away by the wind, leaving only some tree stumps stuck in the ground.

Sitting on the roadside are old, weak, sick and disabled people lingering for breath. Some have frozen to death or starved to death outside their homes. Those who are alive have despair in their eyes, and the young and middle-aged people are fleeing to other places. .After seeing them, they thought it was Rong Di and Japanese people who came to rob again, so they helped each other find a place to hide.

Seeing this scene, he was very heartbroken and became more determined to annihilate Rong Di and the Japanese people in one fell swoop.He quickly rushed to the local government office and asked them to immediately notify the people to come and collect food, medicinal materials and clothing.

Soon, the dam outside the county government was filled with people. After Xiao Beichen read out Emperor Shengyuan's comfort order, he ordered the soldiers to help the people in the government unload food and clothing, and distribute them according to the roster registered by the government to prevent Some people received more or some did not receive it.

Everyone was very happy after receiving the food and clothing. They knelt down one by one to thank the emperor for his grace, and their hope for life was rekindled in their hearts.

When the young adults who had not gone far heard the news, they returned to the city one after another, and the city regained its former vitality.

The next step is to deal with those Rongdi and Japanese people.Rong Di and Japanese people received news that the imperial court had sent another batch of food, clothing, and medicinal materials. The food they had snatched last time was almost finished. They heard that the imperial court sent one hundred thousand shi of food this time. I'm starting to get ready to do something big, so that I can spend the winter comfortably.

Xiao Beichen also prepared defenses here, waiting for them to come to grab food.

On this day, the Rongdi people, led by general Hu Yanzhou, went into the city to grab grain. Looking at the lax guards, he mistakenly thought that there were few people delivering grain this time. When he was preparing to plunder grain from each household, what a coincidence, Japanese people also came to grab food.

As a result, the two groups fought fiercely for food, resulting in numerous casualties. However, they were always neck and neck and could not tell the winner.

Xiao Beichen stood in a hidden position in the city tower, watching the battle from a distance. When it was almost time, he ordered the city gate to be closed.The soldiers who were ambushing every house also came out with weapons in hand. A row of archers stood on the city wall, with the bows and arrows in their hands pointed at them.

This was Xiao Beichen's plan to turn off the fire on the other side, watch the two groups of people bite the dog first, and then when they were both injured, they would catch the turtle in the jar and beat the dog behind closed doors.By the time they found out they had been tricked, it was already too late.

Xiao Beichen gave the order, and waves of arrows were shot down at them. Their men fell one after another. Seeing that the momentum was not right, the generals forced their way through the city gate, but the city gate was already as solid as iron. Bucket, there is no way to get out.

The people hid in their homes and did not dare to go out. The sound of fighting outside was so loud that the children were so frightened that they covered their ears.When everything calmed down, all the Rongdi people and Japanese people fell down, no one escaped, and corpses were everywhere.Xiao Beichen ordered people to collect the body and bury it nearby.
