Xu Wenbo and other soldiers looked at the emperor walking to the stage with hope, hoping that he would see the treasure money being distributed in front of the stage, and then stop it, and preferably punish those traitorous officials.

However, the two ministers rushed over immediately and whispered something to the emperor. The emperor's sight seemed to be blocked, and he finally sat on the only chair on the stage without any expression.

The emperor can definitely see it! Xu Wenbo and others were thinking in their hearts, and even consciously stopped whispering and stared at the stage. However, they were disappointed. Until everyone received the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, the emperor still did not move. Did he really not see it? They are a little suspicious!

At this time, Shen Yongmao and Bi Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, and they both stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty banknotes have been distributed!"

Hu Guang nodded after hearing this, stood up from his chair, strode to the stage, and then slowly glanced at the countless heads in front of him, with emotions brewing in his heart.

Behind him stood two ministers, and on both sides were various senior generals. This formation prevented the somewhat disappointed soldiers below from making any commotion.

After glancing at the soldiers of King Qin's army, Hu Guang suddenly said loudly: "Today is New Year's Eve. According to my Han custom, it is a day for family reunions, a day to worship ancestors and pray for good weather and peace in the coming year!"

Hu Guang paused for a moment while speaking, and a row of loud-voiced Han generals stood in the audience, all spreading the emperor's words in unison so that as many soldiers as possible could hear them.

Xu Wenbo stood relatively close, so he didn't need those big Han generals to hear him clearly. After hearing the emperor's words, he couldn't help but think of his mother at home, and a feeling of homesickness suddenly arose.

"However, I have made a decree that today will not be the New Year in the capital city! Why did I make this decree? Am I ruthless?"

When Shen Yongmao and Bi Ziyan heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, with a wry smile on their faces, and then turned back to look at the back of the young emperor.

These soldiers of King Qin's army were camped outside the city, but they didn't go there. Even if those low-level officers entered the city, they only walked around the Ming Dynasty Martyrs Hall and came back, so no one knew the news. When I heard this, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: This Chinese New Year is such a big event! Why can't you pass it?

However, they believed in one thing, the emperor would never be ruthless. Out of curiosity, they temporarily forgot about the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and concentrated on hearing why the emperor issued an order not to celebrate the new year?

"Actually, no, it's because the capital does not have the ability to celebrate the New Year! Now in the capital, I have decreed food control. Everyone's rations are rationed. Each person can only get a little bit of food. Extravagance and waste for the purpose of celebrating the New Year are strictly prohibited. Once caught, , I will never be lenient! Because of this, the craftsmen did not have enough physical strength, and the construction speed of the Ming Zhonglie Hall was much slower than expected, and the progress could not meet my minimum requirements for the Ming Zhonglie Hall."

When Hu Guang said this, his voice was a bit low, with a bit of regret, but after a pause, he quickly became excited, and at the same time waved his hands and said: "Death, some are lighter than a feather, and some are heavier than Mount Tai! The loyalty of the Ming Dynasty is to fight against Jianlu died fighting to protect his family and country! I can never deal with the loyal martyrs, so I decided that the ashes of the loyal martyrs will be stored in the Ministry of War. When the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall is completed, I will personally lead the civil and military officials. Send them to the Ming Zhonglie Hall!"

Xu Wenbo and others were excited after hearing this, and their bodies stood up straight involuntarily. With such an emperor, being a soldier is worth it!

Not only their soldiers, but also the senior generals of King Qin's army standing in two rows on the stage could not help but feel slightly excited. Only the Minister of War and the Minister of Hubu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but did not dare to say anything.

"Some people may wonder, why don't we allocate enough supplies to the craftsmen, so that we won't delay the construction period of the Ming Dynasty Zhonglie Hall?"

As soon as Hu Guang said these words, Xu Wenbo was a little surprised. He turned to look at his colleagues around him and found that they were also looking around. Apparently they had the same thoughts as him and wanted to see who had such evil thoughts?

Hu Guang, who was on the stage, didn't care what the people below thought. He changed his mouth and said something else he wanted to say: "The reason why I didn't do this is just to save as much food as possible. It's to save the capital this winter." , no one will starve to death; it is to help as many people as possible in the capital area who have nothing!"

"You may not know that the people in Yongping, Zunhua and other places have just experienced the tragic loss of their families, but they are now facing the desperate situation of hunger and cold. If I don't do this and save as much food and materials as possible to help them, they will Starve to death, freeze to death!”

When Xu Wenbo heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he thought to himself: Whoever dares to say something bad about the emperor should stand up and take a look! In all the past dynasties, which emperor could care so much about the people?

Hu Guang felt a little relieved when he saw many soldiers below nodding. They did not care about the lives of strangers just because the Ming Zhonglie Hall was related to their vital interests. It can be seen from this that most of the soldiers are good people.

However, the senior generals on the stage could no longer stand. Thinking of the banquet given by the emperor, He Kegang was the first to kneel down on one knee, lowered his head and cupped his fists and said: "The last general is incompetent!"

Cao Wenzhao followed closely, kneeling on one knee and saying: "This is the last general who is incompetent!"

Seeing this, the other generals all dared to stand and knelt down to apologize. Suddenly, except for the two ministers and the emperor, everyone on the stage knelt down.

The soldiers in front of the stage came to their senses when they heard the words of the generals on the stage. Why is this happening? Isn’t it because they, the soldiers, failed to stop Jianlu and defeat Jianlu!

Especially Xu Wenbo, who was Ma Shilong's servant before, had never fought in a battle, and felt even more guilty. Thinking of what the emperor just said, I couldn't help but kneel down to apologize. When the other soldiers saw him, they all knelt down.

Hu Guang stood on the stage and looked at the densely packed soldiers in front of him. They knelt down one on the left, one on the right, one in front and one behind without any rules. He knew that they were doing it spontaneously and felt the responsibility of being soldiers.

Hu Guang did not stop them and allowed them to kneel until all the officers and soldiers of King Qin's army in front of him knelt down. After listening quietly for a while to the howling of the cold wind and the fluttering of the banners, he said loudly: "If our army of the Ming Dynasty could fight with the Jianlu in the field and defeat them, this tragic situation would not have happened. As for you, as The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty cannot protect their homeland and country, so they have a responsibility!"
