Datang: I was tricked by the system

"Saint, isn't this true?"

Someone tentatively asked, the news was like a resounding slap, slapping the officials in Chang'an and Li Shimin mercilessly in the face.

Standing on the main hall are all the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, the founding fathers of the country, either with amazing strategies or experienced in many battles.

But when they met the Turks, what was the result?
It was almost annihilated!
And what about Li Yi?

In the same situation of outnumbered enemies, he left the lives of Xieli and 10,000+ Turks under the city of Youzhou without any troops or generals.

Don't say they don't have such a record, even in the past and present, they haven't had it.

It is not an exaggeration to call this battle the battle of the world.

But it happened that such an astonishing genius was forced by them to leave Chang'an not long ago.

When faced with a crisis, they still shyly begged each other for help, and even the crisis in Chang'an City had to rely on each other to alleviate it. This resounding slap slapped them on the face, causing burning pain.

They didn't want to believe this fact, but they knew in their hearts that the news had already reached them, and it was definitely not fake.

"Is it true or not, don't you guys investigate it yourself?"

Li Shimin was furious, thinking of what he had done before, his heart was extremely painful, he was the sinner of that Tang Dynasty.

"Report to the sage, Hebei Road spies have military information to report."

"Xuan!" Li Shimin rubbed his eyebrows irritably and said.

"The last general will pay homage to the saint."

"You don't need to be too polite, what's the military situation in Hebei Road?"

"Report to the sage, Zhang Jinghong, the governor of the prime minister's mansion, led hundreds of thousands of people in the prime minister's mansion and all the soldiers to submit to Youzhou."

"What?" Li Shimin snapped a few cases angrily, "Zhang Jinghong dared to rebel!"

"Such a big matter, why did you come to report it now?"

"Reporting to the saint, the Turks invaded a few days ago, and the news really couldn't be delivered."

In order to deliver this news, they lost a large number of people, but in the end they were still one step too late.

The loss of Youzhou, and now the prime minister's mansion, plus the loss of manpower and material resources caused by the Turkic invasion, Li Shimin was devastated.

"Saint, I would like to request an order to go to the prime minister's mansion to arrest Zhang Jinghong!" Zhang Liang stood up and clasped his fists.

Li Shimin waved his hands and sighed: "Forget it, let Zhang Jinghong let it go."

Not to mention that Zhang Jinghong is now protected by Li Yi, even if he does not, he is powerless.

The Turkic invasion has left Tang Dynasty in ruins, and there are refugees and drought victims who need to be resettled. He really can't spare the manpower and financial resources to go to war for Zhang Jinghong.

"How's the drought in Guanzhong?"

Hearing the inquiry, Wei Zheng stood up, "Sage, everything has begun to return to normal. I believe that in half a month, the drought in Guanzhong will be resolved."

Li Shimin nodded, his complexion improved a little, and finally let him hear some good news.

"I don't know what's going on in Jinan Mansion?"

"Sages don't have to worry, there should be no problem with Mr. Qin in the Jinan Mansion."

Fang Xuanling consoled.

Li Shimin's worries were still there. It was true that Qin Qiong was there, but he only brought so much food, so it might not be able to solve the problem.

"Dear dears, do you have anything else to say?" Recently, I have been busy dealing with post-war affairs. I think there should be a lot of things that have piled up recently, and he must finish them as soon as possible.

After Li Shimin asked, Du Ruhui stood up from among the officials and said, "I would like to inform you, the vagrants caused by the war have already poured into Chang'an City. At this time, they are gathering outside the imperial city. I don't know how to arrange them?"

Now that the national treasury is empty, there is no money for money, no food for food, facing thousands of refugees, Du Ruhui really can't think of any good way.

"Let's arrange for porridge distribution first." The remaining food in the small storehouse was kept for supply in the palace.

But in this case, Li Shimin has no way to let the people do nothing in order to feed himself.

"Yes!" After Du Ruhui agreed, he went to make arrangements.

……

Outside the imperial city, countless people gathered here. Their faces were withered and yellow, their eyes were lifeless, and their faces were full of grief.

Those who can move go to the street to get food, and those who are injured or sick can only lie on the ground and waste their time.

What awaits them is either to be rescued or to die.

For them, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, the important thing is that the emperor has to control their life and death.

Many people have been in the city for two or three days, not to mention being rescued, but they have not even seen an official.

Homeless, bereaved, hurt injured, sick sick, day after day of desperation tormented them.

I thought that when they came to Chang'an City, someone would take care of their lives.

But I didn't want to, what was waiting was endless despair.

They are both sad and painful.

"Oh my god, who will save us, save my child!" A woman cried miserably while holding her sick child.

The Turks killed her husband, and now the child is seriously ill, and the woman is half mad, half demon.

Pointing at the sky and yelling.

"God, why don't you open your eyes, why don't you even leave us a way to survive."

"You really can't open your eyes..."
……

There are many refugees like her. They can't see hope, they can't see the future, they only have desolation and pain in their eyes.

"It is said that today's sage is a good emperor, but why does he care about our lives?"

"That's right, if I knew that coming to Chang'an City would lead to this kind of result, I might as well go to Youzhou with A Niu and the others. Emperor Yi is so powerful, he will definitely not ignore us."

"That's right, I heard that he killed all the Turkic people, which can be regarded as revenge for us."

"I heard that Emperor Yi arranged for the rescue of Chang'an City, otherwise... I'm afraid that the Great Tang Dynasty has already perished."

"..."

The refugees discussed and lamented that they didn't know the news earlier, otherwise, why would they come to Chang'an.

Not only them, but even the people in Chang'an City wished they could go out of the city and join Emperor Yi.

Especially seeing what happened to those refugees, they were even more chilled by Li Shimin.

It's a pity that in today's Chang'an, they are only allowed to enter but not to exit, and they have no choice but to leave if they want to.

"Clang!"

There was a loud noise, all the voices stopped, Du Ruhui shouted from the other side of the imperial city entrance.

"Everyone get up, line up, and get the porridge!"

"The sage sympathizes with everyone's suffering and feels sorry for everyone's suffering, but this is only temporary. As long as everyone works together, the difficulties will definitely pass."

When the refugees heard that there was porridge, they rushed to grab the porridge.

Du Ruhui hurriedly asked people to maintain order, and soon someone got the porridge.

But when they saw the gruel with only a few sparse grains of rice in the bowl, they all began to curse.

"Hey, official, what kind of porridge is this? Why don't you even have a grain of rice?"
[The glutinous rice balls are useless, don't eat them...]
