As for what the Meng family servants said, "It's more important to give up your things and save your life," the refugees didn't listen at all.
For them now, the little things that the Meng family gave them are things that can save their lives and are as precious as their lives.
Rather than handing over their things in a cowardly manner and then letting their whole family die of hunger, cold and disease, they would rather risk their lives and fight that group of people.
Their unexpected change of attitude caused great harm to the refugees who, as they had expected, came to rob them immediately after hearing the news.
Those refugees were frightened by the guards of the Zhenbei Palace at night, and in the morning they suffered a great loss in front of other refugees who were originally honest and well-behaved, but now they were even more ruthless than them and unprecedentedly united. They couldn't help but start to wonder if they had done too many bad things, so they started to have bad luck uncontrollably.
These guys who were used to doing bad things were scared and retreated, but those refugees who successfully protected themselves and their families became more courageous and united because they tasted the sweetness of bravery and unity.
They helped each other and successfully protected the elderly, the weak, women and children in their respective teams during the period before the government arranged for the refugees to return home and settle down, greatly reducing the number of deaths in the refugee teams.
The system calculated all the points for Yu Zizhen for the chain reactions caused by his saving Meng Tingru, so that Yu Zizhen would receive a wave of points rewards from time to time during his subsequent journey.
Seven days later, the group arrived in the capital, exhausted.
When it was their turn to enter the city, it was almost dusk. As a show of sympathy, someone from the palace came and conveyed the emperor's oral order, telling Yu Zizhen and others not to rush into the palace for an audience tonight.
After agreeing on the time to pick up Yu Zizhen from the palace in the capital tomorrow, the eunuch who delivered the emperor's order returned to the palace with the eunuch who came to convey the emperor's oral instructions. The other accompanying officials and soldiers said goodbye to Yu Zizhen and others and returned to their homes.
The servants who had been waiting nearby at the palace in the capital did not dare to step forward until this moment. They bowed to Yu Zizhen and Mr. Jiang in turn and said, "The palace has prepared food and hot water. Please follow us into the palace to rest."
Yu Zizhen nodded slightly, "Thank you."
The servants who stayed behind in the palace in the capital couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that she looked calm, had a gentle tone, and spoke in an approachable and polite manner.
Although they were also born into the royal family, in the eyes and hearts of the masters of the royal family, they were definitely far less prestigious than those born into the royal family in the northern border.
If they could just lie low and do nothing in the palace in the capital, then they wouldn't really mind the temperaments of the masters of the palace, or whether the masters of the palace valued them or trusted them.
But who could have made His Majesty the Emperor suddenly issue an order to summon their seven-year-old master to the capital?
The good days of playing dirty, lying down and being idle are no longer possible. As children of the royal family, they must serve the young master together with the royal servants who come from the north.
In this case, it becomes very necessary to find out the temperament and preferences of the young master in advance, try to please him in the shortest possible time, and become a servant who is trusted and valued by the other party.
With this in mind, they asked for favors and used their connections, and finally managed to secure themselves the tough job of guarding the city gate and waiting for people to come.
Yes, drudgery.
But such a hard job has become a hot commodity now because Yu Zizhen and his group are about to live in Beijing permanently.
The servants of the palace, each with their own thoughts, were enthusiastic yet respectful as they led Yu Zizhen and others back to the palace in the capital.
The palace steward, who had received the news, had already been waiting outside the main gate of the palace. Seeing the carriage with the palace emblem slowly approaching, the old steward wiped his tears and went to greet it with excitement.
The driver saw the gray-haired old housekeeper and slowed down the car while reminding Yu Zizhen in the car, "Prince, we have arrived at the palace."
Yu Zizhen responded, and when the carriage slowly stopped, she immediately jumped out of the carriage with swift movements, surrounded by Zhang Niangzi, Yuheng, and Yaoguang, without any intention of putting on airs to intimidate others.
"I am Yu Sheng, the old servant, and I am here to meet the prince." The old butler who was waiting beside the carriage immediately bent his knees and knelt down towards Yu Zizhen when he saw Yu Zizhen.
Behind him, other servants in the palace also knelt on the ground.
Hearing the constant "Greetings, Prince," Yu Zizhen hurriedly took a few steps and reached out to support the old butler, whose hair was already gray. "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."
Although the old housekeeper Yu Sheng stayed in the capital, he was the close confidant of her grandfather, the old Prince of Zhenbei. Even the current Prince of Zhenbei, Yu Zizhen's nominal father, had to be polite when meeting Yu Sheng.
The old man served as the old King of Zhenbei's attendant for thirty years. During this period, he had accompanied the old King of Zhenbei on the battlefield more than once, and even blocked arrows and knives for the old King of Zhenbei several times. It was not until the death of the former lord that he took off his military uniform.
After the Prince of Zhenbei inherited the palace and military power, Yu Sheng and his group of old brothers proposed to retire to the second line and enjoy their retirement.
It's not that they have any opinions about the King of Zhenbei, but as the confidants of the old King of Zhenbei, the King of Zhenbei really can't send them out according to his own wishes without any psychological burden, just like he sends out his capable subordinates.
Even if they did something wrong, King Zhenbei couldn't lower his face to scold and punish his father's old subordinates.
In this case, these people would undoubtedly hinder him invisibly, hinder him from establishing absolute prestige in the army, and hinder him from completely taking power in the army and the palace.
This was not what the Prince of Zhenbei wanted to see, nor was it what the old Prince of Zhenbei wanted to see, but they could not openly stage a "new emperor, new ministers" show in the palace.
At times like this, it’s necessary for those “old people” to be tactful and put forward their own demands for care and support.
Of course, the successor King Zhenbei will not treat these "old people" unfairly.
Although the "old men" have retired to the second line, their sons, nephews, and nieces will become the personal guards and attendants of the new King of Zhenbei after they retire to the second line.
In addition, the successor King of Zhenbei will fully consider the personal wishes of the "old people" and arrange a suitable place for them so that they can live as comfortably as possible for the rest of their lives.
Yu Sheng, one of the "old friends," was sent to the palace in Beijing by the King of Zhenbei to guard it because he wanted to come to the capital. The King of Zhenbei even thoughtfully transferred his youngest son's family over so that he could have children and grandchildren to enjoy his company.
