Regarding this political drama tonight, Lin Xiaoman can only sing out loud: The mountain roads here are winding, and the waterways are connected in nine links.
The routines here are very interconnected!
The royal family is indeed the royal family.
Who doesn't have a double? The "Emperor Wu Sheng" in the palace is definitely just a "shadow double," left there to confuse people.
I have to say, old ginger is still spicy.
The old emperor was fine, but instead led the Feng family army to surround the entire palace.
As mentioned before, there are three founding heroes in Dagan who hold heavy military power: the Qing Prince's Mansion, the Rong Prince's Mansion, and the Feng Prince's Mansion. The old emperor's biological mother is the sister of the old Prince Feng.
The old emperor and the current King Feng are cousins.
Thinking of this relationship, Lin Xiaoman immediately understood. It was said that Feng Wangfu had been stripped of its military power long ago. This was clearly a covert move to Chencang!
The Feng family army is stationed around the capital. If anything happens, they will be immediately transferred into the city.
Lin Xiaoman squatted in the dark for a while, and then two old eunuchs flew over with light skills, knelt in front of Emperor Desheng, and began to report.
Lin Xiaoman pricked up his ears and heard it clearly.
The two men told Emperor Desheng everything that happened in the palace.
"Ha!" Emperor Desheng sneered from his horseback, his face showing no sadness, joy, or anger. He slowly drew the sword from his waist, raised it high, and shouted, "All generals, listen to my command! Follow me into the palace and wipe out the traitors!"
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The generals and soldiers responded with voices that were so powerful that they could swallow mountains and rivers and shook the five peaks.
At first glance, they are obviously regular troops, and their momentum is awe-inspiring.
Lin Xiaoman: Today's show was too exciting, she was a little overwhelmed.
The capital city is too chaotic and full of scheming people. It is not suitable for an honest person like her. She should make use of her strengths and go to Tongzhou to engage in infrastructure construction.
The victory of the scheming old emperor was completely foreseeable, so Lin Xiaoman was too lazy to watch. Avoiding the army, Lin Xiaoman quietly left the palace, and then continued to fly on the rooftop with his lightness skills, all the way to the edge of the city, and found a place to climb over the city wall and leave the capital.
As the sky was getting light, Lin Xiaoman found a dilapidated temple to rest and meditate for a long time, and then continued on his journey.
Arriving at a small town near dusk, Lin Xiaoman booked a room at a small inn for ten copper coins. He then learned from the waiter where to buy clothes and horses...
After a good night's rest, Lin Xiaoman set out again the next day after buying water, dry food, men's clothes and a horse.
Hey, the horse riding skills I learned finally came in handy.
Galloping on horseback!
Carefree and unrestrained!
Well, it’s not cool at all. If you ride a horse for a long time, you will feel tired and your skin will be rubbed. Oh, the conditions are harsh.
Although there were no maps in ancient times, she hand-drew one, so she knew roughly where each state was, and based on the position of the sun, she could still determine the direction. Tongzhou was southwest of Dagan, and she could go southwest along the official road. If there were any towns along the way, she could ask and she would be able to find it.
Lin Xiaoman continued on his journey, and on the fourth day after leaving the capital, he suddenly encountered several groups of refugees on the official road.
Not daring to stay, Lin Xiaoman rushed towards the nearest city. When he arrived in Zhongzhou, the number of refugees increased. Outside the city, he could see many soup kitchens.
As a rich second-generation Beijinger, Lin Xiaoman successfully entered the city with his forged certificate, and then asked around.
Lin Xiaoman suddenly remembered something. The three scholars had mentioned the snow disaster before, but she didn't remember it carefully at that time. Now she remembered it clearly.
The snow disaster affected areas including Youzhou, Huaizhou and Tongzhou!
After the snowstorm, there will most likely be a flood! And after the flood, there will be an epidemic!
As expected, it is said that Youzhou, Huaizhou and Tongzhou are now full of starving people and suffering.
So, there are refugees along the way,
Lin Xiaoman: I’m bald, it happened suddenly.
Could it be that her cheap brother has starved to death?
Uh, probably, no?
Well, let’s go and take a look.
After buying enough dry food and water, Lin Xiaoman set off immediately, traveling all night through Zhongzhou, then Fengzhou, and then Minzhou, and finally entered Tongzhou.
Along the way, Lin Xiaoman could only say that while the rich live in luxury, the poor freeze to death on the streets.
Although the situation in the capital was turbulent, the per capita JDP was high, so it was impossible for people to starve to death. But in Tongzhou, the official road was really littered with corpses on both sides.
It was supposed to be spring, but the road was desolate, with not a single green leaf in sight. All I saw were dead trees and crows. Occasionally, I saw a living person, but they were all skin and bones from starvation. The scene was truly desolate.
Finally entering a city, Lin Xiaoman finally saw some living people. Although the people in the city were better than the refugees, they were all pale and thin.
Lin Xiaoman found out after a little inquiry that the imperial court had not provided any disaster relief at all.
Tongzhou was originally underdeveloped and had barren land. Even in years of good weather, it was barely fertile. This year's disaster would definitely result in countless casualties.
First, there was a large-scale snowstorm, which caused many people to starve. Then there was a local flood, which caused a large number of deaths. Now many towns are plagued by plague, and there are deaths everywhere.
After a night's rest, Lin Xiaoman set out again, riding non-stop towards Taiyi Prefecture. The road was bumpy, with a county plagued by plague and robberies. Thanks to Lin Xiaoman's advanced martial arts, he successfully arrived at the city wall of Taiyi, the prefecture of Tongzhou.
