Chapter 867 Human life is the least valuable thing in front of imperial power

After Emperor Ming Qi left, Yan Wuge and Shen Junjiu didn't stay too long.

When the two came out of the palace, it was snowing outside, Yan Wuge originally planned to go out of the palace with Shen Junjiu, but when they came outside, Marquis Xian'an called him to talk, Shen Junjiu waited for him in the tunnel outside the palace.

"It's been snowing for almost a month, right?" Shen Junjiu looked at the snowy sky and said.

Dongqing hummed: "Yes, it has turned sunny for two or three days a few days ago, but it started to rain again before it got warmer."

Shen Junjiu heard the words and asked: "How is the situation in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Holly shook her head: "Not very good."

"People from the government have gone out of the city to look at it. Many farmhouses and houses in the villages near the outskirts of Beijing have collapsed, and many crops in the fields have froze to death. Moreover, it has been many years since there has been such a heavy snowfall. Everyone also Not too defensive."

"The cotton and charcoal fire in Beijing has doubled or tripled, and the price of food has also fluctuated. If the lady and the prince hadn't prepared a batch of supplies and dispersed them quietly, many people would have died of freezing."

Shen Junjiu sighed lightly when she heard the words, "This is still the case in Beijing and China, let alone other places."

There was such a heavy snowfall in her memory, but at that time she had already been sent to the family temple, and the Song family was still thinking about the things in her hands, so she did not lose her food and clothing, but later she learned from others I have heard that many people died in the snowstorm this year.

Shen Junjiu never felt that she was a living Bodhisattva who can save all living beings, but knowing that there would be such a natural disaster, she stood by and watched those people die, but she was not so cruel.

As soon as it started snowing in Beijing, she prepared a batch of supplies, and then it snowed heavily for five or six days without clearing up. When Yan Wuge realized something was wrong, she asked Xiao Huai and the people in the camp to join in together.

Shen Junjiu notified Shen Qingwu and Tianthresh Trading Company that they had harvested a lot from the rich grain and cotton in the south, and they didn't want to give it to the people for nothing. Let too many people die in this natural disaster.

Xia Lan's injury has healed a lot, and this time she entered the palace with her.

After listening to Shen Junjiu's words, she curled her lips and said in a low voice:

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters keep happening. I don't know how many people died of freezing outside, but the palace is still singing and dancing. The court doesn't know how to relieve the disaster, but it is thinking about the efforts of the young lady and the eldest son. King Ying and King Yu are even more busy fighting for power. , no one cares about the disaster outside."

"Miss, what do you think this royal family member thinks?"

Shen Junjiu's eyes were indifferent when he heard the words: "What else can I think, they are nobles, princes and grandsons, no matter how many people die outside, they can't hold the slightest advantage in their hands."

"In the eyes of these people, the imperial power is what they think about. As for the life and death of those people, what does it matter to them? As long as the matter is not too big, as long as no one is fighting for natural disasters, they can deal with it slowly. , Even if it is after the heavy snow, there will be more deaths."

And human life is the least valuable thing in front of imperial power.

When there were footsteps approaching, Shen Junjiu raised her head and saw Ying Wangchao in a snow-blue cloak walking towards her. She turned around and wanted to leave with Dongqing and Xia Lan, but Ying Wang spoke first.

"Miss Shen."

Shen Junjiu paused slightly, then looked back at him, "His Royal Highness Ying Wang."
