EBE Chapter 147: Not Opening the City Gate
Chapter 147: Not Opening the City Gate
Each force has its own thoughts and everyone has their own arrangements, just waiting for the gongs and drums to sound and someone to make their debut.
Within two days, the prince felt that he was full of foul air.
These disaster victims are so annoying. They always have various things to do, which makes him feel helpless and trivial.
Fortunately, his men were able to hold the situation together and suppressed those who were causing trouble, and even killed a few of them as a deterrent.
The prince didn't even think that his men had gone too far. These disaster victims were really asking for trouble and were asking for too much.
How could he know that it was because Tang Mingchen treated them well along the way. Although they were fleeing famine, they were not hungry and did not suffer.
Therefore, all the disaster victims remembered Xianrong's kindness, and when they really encountered difficulties, they went to find the guards and soldiers, and someone would help them solve the problem.
I never expected that after the crown prince was replaced, these hard days would come.
During these two days, they were basically hungry, with only a little water and rice to fill their stomachs.
Prince Xian clearly left some food behind, but the Crown Prince's men said that such good rice should not be wasted and should be replaced with coarse grains for them.
Besides, food will be needed for future resettlement and it cannot be wasted.
Regardless of their purpose, they were starving and the elderly could not hold on any longer.
Helplessly, someone wanted to discuss giving more food, but ended up being beaten to death.
The victims suddenly became nervous, and even the children did not dare to make any noise for fear of annoying the nobles.
They also realized for the first time that not all dignitaries were as kind as King Xian.
Although their prince looks cold and ruthless, he is actually a kind-hearted person.
He even asked doctors to treat sick elderly people to prevent them from dying on the road.
Young children under the age of two also get the best food. In addition to soft and thick rice porridge, they even get candy and two extra pairs of cloth shoes to prevent calluses on the soles of their feet from walking.
Thanks to King Xian's arrangement, the children did not suffer much along the way. Instead, they were happy. They had enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and even candies. It would have been even better if they had not been fleeing from famine.
So in contrast, the children all know in their hearts who is truly doing good for them and who is just trying to take credit.
King Xian finally arranged his own people. On the one hand, he was worried, and on the other hand, he wanted to control the situation.
Fortunately, after two days they finally saw the gate of Kyoto. The elderly, women and children couldn't help crying.
Although they were lucky enough to save their lives, they still couldn't help crying when they thought about leaving their hometown and the difficulties they would face along the way.
Such a scene made everyone watching inside and outside the city frown.
Although these people were not ragged or skinny, they were unkempt and looked messy.
A huge crowd of one hundred thousand people is really let into the city. What should the people in the city do?
The people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. Although they sympathized, they still hoped to live a good life.
Liu Rumei looked at the crowd below and couldn't help but think of the scene after the end of the world.
The difference is that in the end times there is not even a place to hide, but they can start over and rebuild their homes.
But this matter is not always that simple. Today is probably a big drama of competition among various parties, and she can't help but want to come and see it.
Liu Rumei also spotted the prince in the crowd. He was surrounded by hundreds of guards, like a clear dividing line separating him from the victims.
Liu Rumei couldn't help but laugh. This is it? He is still the chosen one?
I don’t know what’s going on. Is it because his horoscope is good?
Liu Rumei felt that, let alone looking at him from afar, even if she were blind, she would still look down on this hypocritical guy.
But Liu Rumei thought about it and felt that Tang Mingchen was a smart man. He did not face the situation personally, but instead handed it over to the prince to deal with it.
He thought he could enter the city smoothly? He was just overthinking!
But the Lin family should have made some preparations for him to join the Writers Association. They would not leave the prince with no reputation at all.
By the time the victims arrived outside the city, the prince had already received the news from the Lin family and got off the carriage directly.
He stood outside the city very proudly, looking at the closed city gate, frowning fiercely.
He really didn't expect that the ministers in the court would oppose the disaster victims entering the city. These old foxes are really cunning.
Xie Linlang, who was secretly hiding in the attic and watching, was also very shocked. How could there be so many people!
She still remembers that there were only tens of thousands of victims back then, how could there be so many!
How to accommodate so many people? If they were all placed in the city, wouldn't Kyoto be in chaos?
She remembered that in the previous life, the prince also made such a trip and brought back tens of thousands of people. At that time, they were brought into the city in a grand manner, but now everything is different.
What went wrong?
It has to be said that although Xie Linlang remembered her previous life and knew about the struggles in the harem, she had no vision.
She had not experienced what happened in the previous dynasty, so she would not understand. After Tang Mingchen took action and saved these people's lives, many things changed.
Liu Rumei saw the city gate open and the eyes of the victims were filled with hope.
But Liu Rumei knew that things were not that simple and they probably wouldn't be able to enter the city today.
Dozens of civil and military officials came out, but there were hundreds of guards around them, as if they were afraid that the victims would cause trouble.
Not only that, there were rows of soldiers standing on the city wall, with bows and arrows ready in their hands, just in case someone disobeyed and caused trouble, so they could deal with them on the spot.
Liu Rumei smiled coldly, the emperor's mind is really hard to predict.
But it doesn't matter, she is waiting to see their performance.
Sure enough, after the civil and military officials came out, they first saluted the prince, and then someone read the imperial edict.
The victims outside the city couldn't understand it, but the people inside the city got the general idea.
That is to say, in order to better resettle the victims, they are not allowed to enter the city. They are allowed to rest where they are for one night, and then set off early tomorrow morning, continue to move south, and then be resettled along the way!
This made the people of Kyoto breathe a sigh of relief. It was great! Their lives would not change.
However, the victims were stunned and each one of them was dumbfounded.
They walked thousands of miles and finally arrived here. They thought they finally had a home. Even if it was just a straw shed, it would at least provide them with a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
However, they never expected that they were asked to continue heading south!
If they had been told from the beginning that they needed to continue heading south, they might not have been so afraid and desperate.
After all, they had visited many cities along the way and had no plans to stay. But now that they have arrived at a place and are told that it is not possible, you can imagine how they feel.
The crying was suppressed at first, but then it became louder and louder, especially among the women and children, who cried loudly.
When the common people saw this scene, they felt sad, but the officials felt a little annoyed.
What are you doing? It's not like you're just ignoring them!
