I want to be Mingjun

The snow started to fall again, even bigger than before. Looking outside the city, Yu Wenjue looked helplessly at the ground full of corpses. The bright red blood sprinkled on the white snow was particularly eye-catching and glaring. The battlefield was even worse. a mess.

Changsun Ke and General Chen came to plead for orders.

"Your Majesty's battle made the enemy retreat a hundred battles and returned several villages in our country. However, there are still lost lands that have not been recovered, and they do not plan to retreat."

Changsun Ke was surprised and delighted, this is undoubtedly a good sign.The first victory of the initiative to play, the morale is now high, but it is not suitable for a bang.If the reinforcements of the defending country arrive, the result will not be worth the loss.

Yu Wenjue nodded, "Clean up the battlefield, and the sacrificed soldiers will comfort their families with 50 taels of silver. In the next few days, they will recuperate and wait for the remaining reinforcements."

General Chen was full of surprise, "Your Majesty, in the past, the pension was ten taels. Is 50 taels too much?"

"Your general's life is your life, but the soldier's life is not your life?" Yu Wenjue turned his back and continued to look out of the city, his words choked up.

The two looked at each other, fisted and retreated.

Liu Yuwenjue was alone on the tower, snowflakes fell on her hair, which made her hair look gray.

This is the first time she has visited the battlefield in person, and it is also the first time she has seen such a tragic situation on the battlefield. She has read it in books before, but she did not expect that the battlefield makes people feel so heartbroken.

A little later, many corpses have been covered by the wind and snow.The bloodstains also gradually disappeared.

"Brother Huang." Yu Wenhao deployed many soldiers on the city wall to protect Yu Wenjue's safety.

"Go down." Yu Wenjue walked ahead, ready to go downstairs.

Yu Wenhao could only follow behind obediently. "Brother Huang, are you going back to the General's Mansion?"

"Take less people and go out with me for a walk."

There are soldiers clearing the snow on the street, there are sparse stalls and vendors, and there are a few pedestrians.Set off against the heavy snow, it looks even more desolate.

"This kind of weather is really difficult for the people." With a few entourages, he walked into an alley at random.

In the depths of the alley, Yu Wenjue gave a wink, the followers stood at the gate of the yard, and Yu Wenjue knocked on the door.

It was an old man who opened the door. When he saw the three young people, it was still snowing outside, so he hurriedly let Yu Wenjue and the three of them enter the house.

Chu Yu was ordered not to leave Yu Wenjue for a single step, to protect her safety.

"Old man, we passed by here on business and left in a hurry. Now we are penniless and want to find something to eat at the mansion." Yu Wenjue explained the reason as he walked.

When the old man saw that the three of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes and behaved elegantly, they didn't look like bad guys, it seemed that they really encountered difficulties. "You three don't have to be too polite, you can just make do with the rough tea and light food in the countryside."

After entering the house, after a short while, the old lady brought two sauce bowls, the edges of the bowls were bumped, and Yu Wenjue saw that there was half a piece of broken steamed buns and a plate of pickles.Then there are three bowls of gruel.

"The three please." The old man smiled, with embarrassment in his smile, after all, he really couldn't come up with anything else.

Yu Wenjue took a sip of the porridge, but it didn't taste like water, and a few grains of rice sank to the bottom of the bowl. "Old man, do you live on this?"

"Oh, it's bitter." The old man sighed, "In the early years, when the orthodox Lord was still there, life was good, but who knows that life is getting worse day by day. In our remote area, the land is barren and the weather is not good. Planting rice, in the orthodox years there was still rice, but now the imperial court directly cut off the supply. I really can’t live.”

The more the old man talked, the more sad he became, and Yu Wenjue felt uncomfortable hearing it.

Suddenly, half a small head poked out of the door.

"Old man? Is this your child?" Yu Wenjue smiled and looked at the little head at the door.

"This is my grandson."

Yu Wenjue called out, "Come here, brother will give you candy."

When the child heard this, he forgot to be afraid of strangers, and immediately ran to Yu Wenjue.

"Little friend, how many people are in your family?" Yu Wenjue asked.Take out a pastry wrapped in oil paper.

The child hesitated for a moment and took the pastry with both hands. "Thank you big brother, if my family is not counted as father, there are only four members."

"Where's your father?" Yu Wenjue became curious.

"do not know……"

"My son doesn't know, the war broke out, and the dog went to defend the country with the team. I heard that the war started today, so I don't know how my son is doing now." The old man's eyes were full of worry.

Yu Wenjue was even more distressed. How many families were destroyed by a war?

"How many acres of land does the child have at home?"

"Grandpa said that the family has five acres. How many acres does my brother have?"

The child looked at the good-looking and easy-going brother with round eyes, and suddenly felt a little less shy.

"Brother's family has a three-acre land." Yu Wenjue thought for a moment and replied with a smile.

"Brother's family has so few fields." The child giggled.

Yu Wenjue gave Yu Wenhao a look.

Yu Wenhao painted a picture, and took out a purse from his cuff.

Yu Wenjue took the purse and put it in the child's dirty palm. "Wait until my brother is gone, and then open it. Study hard in the future, and if you get a job, the contents inside can protect you from unfair treatment, but remember, don't use it indiscriminately, otherwise, brother will be angry."

"Aww." The child was holding the purse for no apparent reason.

Yu Wenjue got up and clasped his fists at the old couple, "Thank you for your kind hospitality. I still have important matters, so I will take my leave."

"Thank you son. Master and girl, go slowly." The old man, old lady, and the child sent the three of them out of the house.

Yu Wenhao summoned his followers to lead the carriage.

"What did you give that child?" Chu Yu was really curious.

"It's just a little jade pendant. I see that child is very cute." Yu Wenjue said with a smile.

Although it is not a jade pendant representing power, it is indeed carved out by herself.

If he gets the fame, he will definitely recognize him.If you are a farmer, the jade itself is also valuable, and you will not starve to death.

After returning to the general's mansion, Yu Wenjue summoned all the generals guarding the border and the local parents' officials to the study, which was regarded as a small pilgrimage.

"I heard that during the orthodox period, rice was still provided here to ensure the survival of the people. Now it's the Yongle year, and the rice supply is stopped. What's the matter?"

Yu Wenjue took off his warm hat, his face gradually changed color, his eyebrows were all twisted together, his eyes burst out with sharp lights like knives, and he yelled at everyone.

Changsun Ke bit the bullet and went out, after all, he was in charge. "Back to the emperor, the amount of rice allocated from the top is getting less and less, and even the barracks are confiscating behind. My minister..."

"I heard that the capital's grain depot spends money in poor areas every year, what's the matter? Didn't you see it?" Yu Wenjue raised his eyebrows and sarcastically said.

"This..." Changsun Ke didn't care about this matter, he was in charge of the barracks, and turned his head to stare at the county magistrate, "Chief Hu, you are in charge of these things, shouldn't you talk about it? Shouldn't you give the emperor an answer?"

"This... this... this, your majesty, general..." Hu Zhixian was sweating profusely.I can't speak clearly.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Yu Wenjue knew that there must be something wrong with the county magistrate. "Come here, go and find out how much rice there is in the grain depot of the Yamen."

As soon as the order was issued, several soldiers came in immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." Changsun Ke also felt that he had not done a good job in this matter, so he volunteered.

Yu Wenjue nodded slightly.

About an hour later, Changsun Ke returned with some people.

The rest of the generals, big and small, stood here for an hour, and the little emperor was extremely majestic and intimidating.Naturally, they didn't dare to show their air.

"Back to the emperor, there are still more than a hundred dens in the county government's granary."

Yu Wenjue didn't speak for a long time, his deep eyes were full of anger.

"Take Huzhi County down to investigate and deal with it, and Hu's house is ransacked." Yu Wenjue hated these treacherous ministers the most. If it weren't for them, how could the common people live such a miserable life?

"The emperor spares my life! The emperor spares my life! There is really not much food left!"

"I passed on my order to set up a porridge shed to serve porridge on time every day until the end of the war. If I return to Beijing, I will continue to provide rice as a subsidy for the orthodox year."

Yu Wenjue reckoned that there is indeed a lot of rice in the grain depot. Now that the world is icy and snowy, where does the harvest come from?

"My emperor is holy." Many people are still wondering, why is this little emperor different from the rumors?

Yu Wenjue was so angry that she came here by herself, no matter what troubles there would be in the future, she wanted to make a difference here.

"No, I'm really worried. You supervise the whole process of Xiaohao's gruel giving. These corrupt officials are really harmful."

Yu Wenhao cupped his fists, "Yes."

The two walked in the corridor of the General's Mansion, and they could clearly see the heavy snow falling outside.

"Brother Huang, it's definitely not a good thing to show your edge." Yu Wenhao was also worried, wouldn't the prince take precautions?

Stopping in his tracks, Yu Wenjue put his hands behind his back, "Some things don't need to be settled by war, they need to win the hearts of the people. You also know that this time I am in danger, but this time it is the beginning of a head-on confrontation with the emperor."

"Okay, don't worry about the sky and think about it. Take the step in front of you first. If you can return to Beijing smoothly, this step will be considered a success." Yu Wenjue scoffed in a low voice.The breeze kisses the eyebrows from the front.

"The golden and iron horse, the blood-stained armor, is just the youthful beauty. It kills thieves like hemp. Let it be the bones of the wind and sand, and return my country to the picturesque."

Yu Wenhao backed away silently.By the way, I brought Chu Yu next to me.

"What are you pulling me for?" Chu Yu broke free from Yu Wenhao's hand holding her sleeve.

"If I don't pull you away, are you just here to watch the emperor? Can you give the emperor a little private space?" Yu Wenhao blamed, this girl is really innocent, she doesn't look at people at all.

Why are you blaming yourself?Chu Yu was not convinced, "Don't think that you are the king of the county and I am afraid of you, I was ordered by the empress to protect the emperor!"

"This is the heavily guarded General's Mansion. Could it be that the Emperor still can't do without you, a little girl?" Yu Wenhao dragged Chu Yu out of the General's Mansion.

Chu Yu saw that the General's Mansion was full of soldiers not only inside, but also outside. "Where are you taking me?"

"Since you are so free, accompany me to supervise the porridge donation. Of course we are going to the porridge shed."
