[After the battlefield is dealt with, can the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince come back? ]
When Jun Baozhu asked this, the Queen, the Crown Prince, and others all looked over and heard Jun Baozhu thinking:
【Not coming back? 】
[We should continue to guard the west. The fourth and ninth princes also think that the witch doctor is a serious threat and are worried that she will disrupt the situation again? Before the garrison in the west arrives, we should guard the west first? ]
[The fourth prince has already written a letter and sent someone to send it back as quickly as possible? ]
[West garrison, have they arrived? When will they arrive? ]
[The 20,000 soldiers from the East Recruiting Army came to support. The Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince are planning to stay. They have combat experience. Even if they recruit soldiers in the future, they will all be new soldiers and may not be able to resist the foreign enemies...]
[The Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince, after consulting with the generals and veterans of the Eastern Recruiting Army, have written down their opinions and suggestions in the letter.]
[In addition, in order to calm the public anger as soon as possible, the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince, according to the authority granted in advance by the Crown Prince, asked the magistrates of the surrounding counties to investigate and count the silver and money confiscated by the head of Prince Cheng's palace. Is the relief work progressing in an orderly manner? ]
Hearing the data from the system reminder, Jun Baozhu's small body let out a sigh.
[Thirty thousand people! Including the surrendered private soldiers, it's close to forty thousand!]
[Public indignation...what is public indignation?]
Jun Baozhu asked.
[To the father? To the imperial court?]
[They think that the Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Western Peace Army have grown to such a large scale because of the emperor's indulgence? ]
[If Father had dealt with this disaster when Prince Cheng first broke into the palace, there wouldn't be the chaos today? ]
[If we had known that the Pingxi Army was not on the side of the imperial court, and had it been incorporated and reorganized earlier, there would not have been the civil strife today...]
[The stragglers in the county are almost from every household. They were the most capable men in the past. Now, the pillars of the family have been taken away. The old and the young have to send their children away. It is normal for them to have complaints? 】
[Even though he hasn't returned to the city yet, he can see white hair everywhere. Even if he is the county magistrate, he can't say anything when he hears the people complaining, cursing, and giving advice? ]
Jun Baozhu could never have imagined that her father would hear these words, and not only her father, but others could hear them too...
Only when your inner voice comes out will it be unrestrained.
The emperor looked as if something invisible between his brows had completely broken, revealing his inner decay.
The Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince looked at each other in silence, their expressions extremely heavy.
Jun Baozhu was unaware of this, and holding back her sadness, she continued to ask the system:
[Fourth Prince and Ninth Prince, will this work? ]
[Although money cannot measure life, the progress and amount of compensation are far beyond the imagination of the people...]
[The amount of compensation far exceeds the lifetime salary of a minor official, and even more than the lifetime income of an ordinary family from farming. It can be considered a little consolation to the living...]
[You don’t have to worry about your livelihood, retirement, and child support in the future. Even if you don’t work for the rest of your life, you can still get by.]
[The county magistrates took the initiative to take care of the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. The people could not complain, but they could not speak out...]
[Thanks to them, the people no longer blame their father? ]
[It’s still strange, but there are fewer complaints. Maybe at some point, it will erupt again? ]
Jun Baozhu's eyes were dark and her eye sockets were a little red.
[Father, this is so pitiful! ]
【Wuwuwu...】
[Father didn't do it on purpose! Anyone can blame him, but who can he blame! ]
[He's so tired! He didn't do it on purpose! ]
[He didn't want to fight and didn't want the people to suffer, but who knew it would turn out like this!]
[It’s all the fault of the witch doctor! The old monster! If she hadn’t killed Concubine Liang, would there have been so many problems?! ]
System reminder:
[Concubine Li first gave the wasted Gu worm...]
Jun Baozhu immediately refuted:
[The poisonous insect was brought into the palace by the great witch doctor! ]
[If she hadn't harmed my mother, would my mother have come into contact with the poisonous insect? ]
[If Concubine Liang hadn't harmed me, would my mother have put a poisonous insect in her? ]
[In the end, it's all the witch doctor's fault for turning the situation into a mess! ]
[If it weren't for her, would we Dafeng people kill each other? Father has endured humiliation and has not taken action against Prince Cheng for more than ten years. Would the war break out now? ]
[Will so many people die? ]
[Now, thanks to the efforts of my father and my brother, the administration has been cleaned up, and civil officials and military officers have each taken their proper positions. If I wait a few more years, can't my father handle the issues of Prince Cheng and the Pingxi Army? ]
[Anyone can blame the emperor. Did he have the wrong intentions? Or was he too selfish? Or was he just enjoying himself for a day? ]
Perhaps it was because she had been suppressed for too long and out of grief for her father, Jun Baozhu was almost shouting at the top of her lungs in her heart.
The prince stood in front of his father, even though Baozhu's voice drowned out other sounds around him...
But out of the corner of his eye, he still saw his father's shoulders trembling.
The Grand Tutor once asked the Crown Prince, when will you realize that you have become an adult?
The prince did not answer. At that time, he thought, isn't he sixteen years old? But he felt that the answer should not be so simple.
The Taifu replied, when you see your father crying, when you feel that your father has grown old.
Now, the prince finally understood.
But this realization is too profound.
If possible, he would rather grow up as quickly as possible, but he doesn't want his king to shed tears.
I don't want so many innocent people to lose their lives.
Although I was crying in my heart, the tears flowed from my eyes.
The queen hugged Jun Baozhu, feeling moved and distressed, with tears in her eyes.
