My country is dying

Chapter 95

The clothes of these few monks were messy and tattered, their bodies were covered with mud or wet marks, and one of them lost a shoe. It looked like he had gone through a lot of disasters.

"In front of the emperor and the regent, what else are you afraid to say?" Seeing that the three monks were shaking so hard that they didn't know how to speak, Yu Quan hurriedly reminded him.

The three monks looked at each other, and then one of them told the details.

"We are all disciples of Puji Temple. We live with the mountain in Linzhou at the foot of the mountain. Since the beginning of spring, there have been several heavy rains. Several villages under the mountain have been washed away by the heavy rain. We have nowhere to go, so we come to Puji Temple to take refuge. We The abbot has always been benevolent, and Puji Temple has always been a place of salvation for all sentient beings. It not only provides shelter for these people, but also provides medicine and food for everyone, but the spring rains are continuous and there are too many people, and our temple can't supply it!"

"That's right! Just last month, our temple was already struggling. The abbot wanted to find the government to solve the problem, but the government kept avoiding him. Not only that, but they didn't let us go to other places for help, especially when we heard that the emperor was coming. Hunting in the hunting ground, the government hastily threw some moldy coarse grains to us, not allowing us to come to the hunting ground... Along the way, a group of more than a dozen of us came out, and only three of us were left here!"

As he spoke, the little monk cried out.

Another young monk also cried and said: "Please show mercy to the emperor and the regent, please give us some food! Many villagers have been injured and are about to starve to death!"

Mi Le raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi in front of him, then slowly turned his head to look at Hou Junli: "What does the Regent think about this?"

Hou Junli's face was condensed: "If the situation is true, we will naturally follow the law."

After finishing speaking, he looked down at the monk below: "How many refugees are there in the temple?"

"Three... more than 300 people." The monk said with a trembling voice.

"So many?!" Xiao Qi who was behind only felt it was unbelievable, and immediately shouted.

His voice was loud and his tone was exaggerated, which immediately attracted everyone's attention to him.

Xiao Qi suddenly clenched his fist and coughed lightly, walked to the side, pretending nothing happened.

Only then did Mi Le speak out: "300 people is no small matter, Prince Regent, you have to investigate this matter carefully!"

Hou Junli responded: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

After the words fell, he stood up: "You guys take a short rest first, this king will arrange for someone to go down the mountain, if the situation is true, the emperor and this king will definitely give you an explanation."

The three monks were overjoyed when they heard the words, and kowtowed on their knees: "Thank you, Your Majesty... Thank you, Regent!"

After Yungui took the three of them down, Mi Le looked at Hou Junli: "I remember that although Linzhou lives next to the mountain, it has a lot of tax revenue every year. At least it is not related to the poor counties. Why did this happen? Big things, but no one plays with the court?"

Hou Junli's eyes darkened: "The emperor lives in the court, so sometimes he won't know what's going on below. What you can see may sometimes be just what the officials below want you to see."

Mi Le stared into his eyes and immediately understood what he meant.

That's right, every year the data is presented by the officials below. No one knows what happened next. Because of this, there were so many emperors who traveled in micro-services in ancient times.

She was already thinking about it, and she looked at Hou Junli with a smile and said, "I don't know how long this injury will last, and it's even more boring to lie down every day these days. I don't know if the regent is interested in accompanying me." Go out for a walk?"

"The emperor wants to go out for a walk?" Before Hou Junli could speak, Xiao Qi responded immediately, "I am interested, and I am willing to accompany the emperor!"

Mi Le rolled his eyes and looked aside: "Xiangsi, please get General Xiao out!"
