Dream Hua Embers Records

Zhu'er was on the embroidered building, as soon as she opened the window, she could see four human heads on the top of the Xisong gate.

Although several days had passed, due to the cold weather, the human head hadn't rotted, and the facial features were still clearly discernible, but the air was drying day by day, and the expression on that face was becoming increasingly ferocious.

Couldn't bear to look at it, but couldn't help not looking at it... Pearl sighed, and was about to lower the window when she heard a mournful cry from her neighbor.Stretching out his head to look over, he saw the servants of Daliang Mansion coming in and out in the neighbor's courtyard, presumably they were looking for hidden gold and silver?

A few days ago, the emperor issued an edict saying: No matter who hides gold and silver, anyone can report on it, and the informer can get [-]% of the hidden gold and silver as a reward.With this edict, there are endless incidents of evil slaves suing the master.

Yuanjun also ordered Yushitai to copy the list of officials below the Zaizhi, list the gold and silver payable limits according to the official position, and supervise Kaifeng Mansion, Dali Temple and Sibigen Kuo every day. When he came out, he was forbidden to be chained and tortured routinely.Even if it is a first-rank official or the wife of Gaoming, he will be arrested by chains and made a public display along the street.

A sound of rumbling cars brought Zhu'er's sight back to the front street, but she saw huge Taiping cars slowly passing by the front of the mansion, covered with a lot of satin.

Zhu'er sighed in her heart, she had heard that the Yuan army saw that the gold and silver were almost enough, so they began to ask for cloth and satin. The emperor didn't want to disturb the people, so he opened the left treasury, the right treasury, and the capital's upper four treasury, and let the Yuan army carry them.He also ordered Baojia in Gyeonggi to serve as a servant, day and night, just hoping that the matter would be over as soon as possible and the Yuan army would withdraw as soon as possible.But... Will this feed them with whatever they ask for?Or will it increase their appetite?Pearl just frowned, weighing repeatedly in her heart.

Since Sibigen Kuo was killed with a stick, there have been many signs of uneasiness in the city.The fire in Shangshu Province burned down more than [-] households, and some thieves took the opportunity to create chaos and set fire to Kaibao Temple, Tianning Temple and other places, spreading to more than [-] residents.There are even market scoundrels who shaved off their top hair, put on leather caps, and pretended to be soldiers of origin to rob. It is said that there were real soldiers of origin among them.Although the emperor ordered the forbidden army to disperse in various streets and alleys to maintain law and order, the anxiety in people's hearts is still increasing day by day.

"Miss, it's time to eat!" Zi Xiao pushed the door open with a food box in hand.Seeing Zhu'er with the window open, she said angrily, "Hey! Miss, don't you think it's cold? I'm sick from the cold! Now charcoal is more expensive than rice noodles, and there are not many stocks in the house, and there are no more in the servant's room." It’s burning charcoal, it’s just so hot, you still have to let it out.”

Zi Xiao said while reaching out to close the window.

"Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier, you call a few of them, and come to sleep in the outdoor room of my house at night, it will be warmer when we are together."

"It's not so cold, I can bear it with two more quilts." Zi Xiao replied casually, taking out the food from the food box and laying it on the table while talking.

"What, it smells so good." Pearl wrinkled her nose and said with a smile.

"It's bacon and wind goose, as well as bad melon and eggplant and squid. You can't eat the meat outside. I heard that the meat in the butcher shop is cut off from the dead. Fortunately, a lot of New Year's goods are marinated in the house. It is enough. I heard that vegetables are no longer available, and the yellow sprouts and chives are almost worth the price of meat." Zi Xiaoxu said.

"Is there any new news outside?" Zhu'er asked while holding the vegetables.

The king of Yong'an County strictly forbids the women's family members to leave the mansion, so Zi Xiao will stand by the second gate every day, ask the servants and stewards about the situation outside, and tell Zhu'er when he comes back.

"Those bastards don't know a lot of Chinese characters, yet they read like a human being. I heard that the collection of books in the treasury has started to be moved, and Daliang Mansion is going to search and buy from bookstores!"

Zhu'er frowned: "What exactly do they want to do?" I thought that these people from Yuanguo were just greedy for money just like the previous looting, so it seems that their ambition is not only that, but they seem to want to kill Daliang. It's like moving all the prosperous civilizations together.

"I heard that the emperor didn't even blink his eyes when he asked for gold and silver, satin, or palace maids, but this time when he heard that he wanted to collect books in the inner palace, the emperor sighed repeatedly and almost shed tears. "Zi Xiao added.

Pearl also let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say.

"There is one more thing, which is quite strange. The emperor issued an edict a few days ago, and the price was clearly marked from the first rank official to the seventh rank sesame official. As long as he is a good citizen, he can be an official if he pays according to the price. If you are a monk, you will be granted the title of Ziyi Guru. This list has been posted for several days, but there is no one who applies for it, which shows that the people of Daliang still have a strong character."

Zhu'er didn't think so, Yuan Jun's pursuit of gold and silver was like urging her to die.If you want to buy an official, you can only use copper coins, and the amount must be huge. If you do this, you may become a rafter in the early days.And in such a troubled world, even if the first-rank officials are of any use, the four heads on the top of the city are either first-rank or second-rank, and the people on the left who are threatened and locked up are also officials. Charcoal, saving one's life is the right thing to do, who would buy that flashy official position!

Just as Pearl was thinking, she was startled when she heard a loud noise that shook the sky and the earth.He hurriedly opened the window to see.

I saw that on the Longevity Mountain, the towering Taihu Stone called "Qingtian", the incomparably huge Taihu Stone, which cost tens of thousands of conscripts and transported thousands of miles, has disappeared.Through the smoke and dust all over the sky, Zhu Er could only see the Zhao soldiers in twos and threes on the Long Live Mountain.

"Quickly go out and find out what happened." Zhu'er didn't turn her head, but told Zi Xiao.

Zi smiled in response, turned around and went out.

Zhu'er looked closely and found that the ancient and famous trees on the Longevity Mountain had all fallen into the dust one by one. Plum blossom, crabapple, green peach, osmanthus, magnolia...these famous trees were bought from various places and carefully transplanted and maintained. The flowers were all split into firewood.There are also those peonies: Zhao Fen, Hu Hong, Zhu Shalei, Zi Erqiao, Oolong Pengsheng, Yinhong Qiaodu, Zilankui, Peach Blossom Snow, Guanshi Moyu, Drunken Concubine Yang, Spring Water Green Wave, Sheng Gejin, Yubanbai, Ziyao Terrace... used to be the most gorgeous scenery in Genyuan in spring, but now they have become withered stumps all over the place.

There was another loud bang.This time, it turned out to be that Jiangxiao Tower!The Jiangxiao Tower, where I lived a few days ago, also fell obliquely from the mountain with a bang, billowing smoke and dust, rumbling earthquakes, accompanied by faint screams and exclamations, which made people's hairs stand on end.

Just at this moment, Zi Xiao pushed the door open and entered, and was stunned seeing this scene.

"What's going on?" Pearl asked eagerly.

"Because of the lack of charcoal in the city, the people were cold and hungry, the emperor couldn't bear it, so he ordered the opening of Gen Yuan yesterday, allowing everyone to collect bamboo and wood from Long Live Mountain as firewood. The imperial list was posted in less than two hours yesterday. The bamboo and wood used as firewood were all picked. I heard that tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians scrambled for it, trampling and killing countless people. Today, a group of people who got the letter rushed in again and destroyed all the flowers and trees... It is said Start tearing down the house again..."

The head of Xisong gate.

Yi Wang Yan Qihao and Chong Wang Yan Luhu were all dressed in casual clothes, and they were also watching this farce.

"This Zhao Suzong does not have a feeling of compassion." Yan Qihao sighed.

"Huh!" Yan Luhu snorted coldly, "It's a pity that the brain is too stupid. If you let the small people in like this regardless of the past and the future, it is natural that the powerful bully the weak, and the soldiers bully the common people. The well-informed get the advantage, and the latecomers Seeing that there are no benefits, the house will naturally be demolished.

Yan Qihao nodded, "It should be arranged by the government to arrange a special person to collect trees, cut them into firewood, and then distribute them or sell them at a low price, so that there will be no chaos."

"Haha! That's right... It was originally a matter that was beneficial to the people, but it has become a policy that harms the people if it is carried out so ignorantly. It's really ridiculous."

"I heard that Zhao Suzong is proficient in poems and songs, playing and singing, Danqing calligraphy, Cuju and equestrian skills, but he can't be an emperor."

"If it wasn't so, how could we take this Daliang City so easily?" Yan Luhu looked at Yan Qihao, and the two looked at each other and smiled, full of ambition.

The author has something to say: ah, it seems that it can finally be updated. This paragraph is basically a fact. I really don’t know who can come up with this kind of brainless chaos.
