Chapter 29 The Situation of the Four Houses in the Northwest

The land of the four northwestern provinces.

After seven days of working day and night, Taishi Wen Zhong and others finally entered Xi'an Mansion.

Along the way, Taishi Wen Zhong saw with his own eyes that under the influence of the drought, the people in most parts of the four northern states were empty, and the people were struggling to live.

Dozens of people made a big shot in order to compete for a wowotou.

How many people are floating in the wilderness, starving and dying.

Weeds and bark were all snatched away.

Especially as soon as they entered the land of the four houses in the northwest, the tragic phenomenon was even more appalling.

Man eats man, father eats son.

Howling all over the place.

Like hell on earth.

As for the sale of children and daughters, it can be seen everywhere.

Even Tai Shi Wen Zhong, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help crying.

These are the people of Da Zhou.

What is wrong with the people, they will suffer such bad luck.

Thinking of this, Tai Shi Wen Zhong couldn't contain the anger in his heart.

If it weren't for the poor disaster relief of the imperial court, how could such a human tragedy occur here.

The two next to him, Zhou Qian, Wang Yaoyao, and Zhou Qi, the King of Kang, couldn't bear to look directly at them. Such tragic sights had an unprecedented impact on their hearts.

For a long time, Zhou Qian and Zhou Qi both lived in Luoyang, the divine capital, when had they ever seen such a tragedy on earth.

Even in the books, or from the mouths of the ministers in the court, they knew that the people in the disaster area were miserable, but they only stayed in their ears.

But now, when the two experienced all this in person, they realized that no matter how much they listened to, it was far less shocking than experiencing it in person.

"Is this the current situation of my Dazhou people? Why is this, why is this." Kang Wang Zhouqi's eyes were a little red.

"Master should be killed."

"All those officials who didn't do enough disaster relief deserve to die."

Kang Wang Zhou Qi couldn't help but said fiercely.

But as soon as the words came out, Kang Wang Zhou Qi woke up, realized something, and hurriedly closed his mouth, but his face was ugly.

Xiaoyao Wang Zhouqian took a deep look at Kang Wang Zhouqi, but he didn't say much, just kept silent, and his face was also very ugly.

A scrawny woman stopped the army, knelt in front of Taishi Wen Zhong, and begged Taishi Wen Zhong to take her child who was only a few years old away.

Because, the woman knew, when she died of starvation, this child would definitely be eaten by the crazy crowd of hungry people.

Taishi Wen Zhong could not bear to refuse, and left a group of soldiers and all the dry food they brought to distribute to the surrounding people.

then.

Grand Master Wen Zhong raised the whip in his hand, swiped the warhorse under his crotch forcefully, and shouted, "Speed ​​up."

Taishi Wen Zhong wanted to get to the four northwestern provinces as soon as possible to prevent the situation in the four northwestern provinces from deteriorating.

Therefore, after leaving Luoyang, he took the first step with five thousand cavalry.

Wang Zhouqian, Wang Yaoyao, and Zhou Qi, the king of Kang, also followed on horseback.

After half a day.

Xi'an House.

The Palace Master of Xi'an Mansion and many officials gathered outside the Mansion City to welcome Taishi Wen Zhong and the two Great Zhou princes together.

"I have seen the Grand Master, I have seen the two princes." The palace master of Xi'an Palace respectfully said; "The grand master and the two princes have worked hard all the way. Move with the two princes..."

The Palace Master of Xi'an Palace said with a look of unease.

I heard that the emperor in the Luoyang Palace, the capital of the gods, had already put the Taifu in the heavenly prison because of his poor disaster relief.

Who is Taifu?

That is the minister of the country left by the late emperor, one of the four powerful ministers of the imperial court.

Such important officials have been won because of the poor disaster relief this time, so the local officials who are in such a corrupt situation do not know how to deal with the poor disaster relief below them.

The head of Xi'an Palace thought to himself.

At this time, the Palace Master of Xi'an Mansion only hoped that the Grand Master and the two princes were really here to relieve the disaster and pacify the chaos, not to deal with their local officials.

"Feast of the wind?" Tai Shi Wen Zhong's face turned gloomy.

The people outside have already changed their sons to eat. What kind of banquet are these people still in the mood for?

"Hmph, the people are floating for thousands of miles, starving and dying. What kind of banquet is there?"

"The reception of the wind banquet was cancelled, and they all entered the city with Ben Taishi, and immediately discussed the disaster relief strategy."

Grand Master Wen Zhong snorted coldly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and threw five thousand cavalry directly into the city.

If it weren't for these people in the local area for disaster relief, he would have just taken all these people and beheaded them.

Insufficient disaster relief, greedy ink for disaster relief silver, resulting in people's upheaval, death is not enough.

Wang Zhouqian, King of Xiaoyao, and Zhou Qi, King of Kang, also gave these officials a cold look, and entered the city with Taishi Wen Zhong.

The Palace Master of Xi'an Mansion and the group of officials looked at each other, their faces were very ugly, and they silently followed into the city.

government office.

Taishi Wen Zhong sat on the throne and looked at the mansion master of Xi'an mansion with a serious face: "How is the situation of the four mansions in the northwest now?"

"How far has the civil upheaval developed? Can you open a warehouse in Xi'an for disaster relief?"

"The specific situation, tell Taishi Ben."

The Palace Master of Xi'an Mansion was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Report to Tai Shi, all the other three houses have been occupied, and even three county towns of my Xi'an Mansion have been overrun by the rioters."

"Now the rioters are coming to my Xi'an mansion. As for the disaster relief, the disaster relief silver allocated by the imperial court has long been used up."

The mansion master of Xi'an Mansion said lightly.

When the Taishi heard the words, his face turned gloomy to the extreme; "Do you mean that your Xi'an House is pointing to the court's disaster relief silver for disaster relief? Your Xi'an House's treasury is already eaten by rats?"

"The chaotic people poured into Xi'an Mansion and destroyed three county towns. As the mansion owner of Xi'an Mansion, didn't you know that you sent troops to stop the chaotic people in advance?"

"What does your palace lord do?"

Taishi Wen Zhong couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and looked at the Palace Master of Xi'an Palace angrily and roared.

"I don't care what method you use, I will only give you one day to raise money and grain for the disaster relief in Xi'an mansion."

"At the same time, I gave orders to the county towns to fully prepare their weapons to prevent the rioters from attacking the city. If anyone dares to abandon the city and escape or lose the city, the Grand Master Ben cut him down."

Grand Master Wen Zhong said with a sullen look.

Troubled times use heavy code.

Taishi Wen Zhong did not expect that he hurriedly hurry up, and the situation in the four places in the northwest was still spreading.

Before, only the land of two prefectures was occupied, but now, in less than ten days, the land of one prefecture has been occupied, plus the three county towns of Xi'an prefecture.

Fortunately, he took the first step with five thousand cavalry.

If he followed the large army behind him and arrived a few days later, it is estimated that the Xi'an Mansion would also fall.

When the palace master of Xi'an Mansion heard the words of Taishi Wen Zhong, his face turned pale, and cold sweat was already oozing out of his head.

He wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Taishi Wen Zhong's fierce eyes, he swallowed the words when they reached his lips.

At this time, he knew that if he dared to say more, Taishi Wen Zhong might pull him out and chop him in a rage.

"Pass on the order of the Grand Master, and send a scout to detect the situation of the other three chaotic people."

"Notify the wealthy households and families in the city, let them have money to pay, and those who have food to pay, and take it out first for disaster relief."

……

Taishi Wen Zhong gave dozens of orders in a row.

All the officials present were ordered to leave one by one.
