Daiyu of the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Usually, the green Feixiao Mountain blocks the sand, and the residents inside the mountain always feel that the dry sand is far away from them, and Weicheng and other Kansai cities always hold on to the little bit of difficult green.

But after the Rong people occupied Kansai, they plundered black oil and coal mines in large quantities, even the pitiful crude iron ore. They drove out a large number of Han aborigines, and dug the land like a beehive, leaving nothing behind. .After they retreated, Kansai was devastated all over the place, and all the trees that could be cut were cut down for the local smelting.In addition, the fire that Yu Qiushan set off in an instant to punish his son Yu He!

Cutting down again and again, how can the fire come so fast.After the fire started, there were not enough soldiers, so Yu Qiushan didn't send troops to put out the fire.Feixiaoshan was burned bare.

In summer, the desert is extremely hot during the day and suddenly drops in temperature at night. The temperature difference is large, and the wind is easy to blow. The wind blows the dust and sand, which is called a sandstorm. When the wind is strong, it is called a sandstorm.

This year, Kansai has no buffering ability against the sandstorm, and Fei Xiaoshan has no resistance to it.The sandstorm is endless.The so-called words catch up with words, and the wind catches up with the wind!At the end of summer, the sandstorm developed into an unprecedented storm, blowing up the sand and gravel on Feixiao Mountain and pouring it all into the pass.Now the farmland in Guannei has also been destroyed, and the autumn harvest is about to end!

The local officials didn't dare to hold back any more, and hurriedly sent the report to the capital.

The envelopes of urgent reports are filled with sand.The wind over there is so strong that it pours in through the crack of the window.When officials write letters, they cannot avoid sand.

Cui Heng looked solemn.

Yunhua has no one word to forgive him!

The catastrophe year is here.

The officials outside also heard the news one after another, and they knelt outside the imperial study one by one.Cui Heng was so timid that he didn't dare to come out of the bead curtain.Afraid that the subjects would see the expression on his face.

He can still survive the battle, relying on the courage of blood.He knew that there was no shortage of such bravery in the whole country.But a catastrophe... After the great battle, our dynasty is already weak, and it is difficult to withstand such a blow, and it is more difficult to suffer than to fight a war.

You can encourage the soldiers who haven't slept for days and nights, and then climb up the city wall.Fight to the death with your enemies.But how do you deal with the victims who are begging for food everywhere, from summer to autumn and then to winter?

Cui Heng is a sensible person, so his heart is heavier.The heart sank all the way down into the belly.

The ministers outside waited for a while, seeing that the emperor would not come out, they went outside to remonstrate.

Some are genuinely worried, and some just want to express their concern.Some took the opportunity to trample on dissidents, and some took the opportunity to gain the emperor's attention.Yelling and yelling, in fact, there is no magic way to come up with one, but they all force Cui Heng to make up his mind.

Cui Heng sees, how about he calm down these guys earlier.Don't wait for the hungry people to make trouble, these idiots in Beijing will make trouble for him first!

Cui Heng collected himself and finally suppressed the most noisy minister.Together with some reliable courtiers, discuss the current countermeasures: what should we talk about against wind and sand now.It is too late.We had to evacuate the severely affected residents first, and transfer the grain from the south to the west first.Wait for the wind and sand to settle down, remove sand and restore the fields, replant drought-resistant crops, and then do everything slowly.

The minister retreated, and the second prince asked to see him.

In fact, the second prince came in as soon as he heard that the minister was entering the palace, but he didn't dare to pass through the minister and stand next to his father, lest he seemed to want to infringe on his father's power;He stood at a distance, seeing the minister left, he hurriedly came out to greet his father, expressing that he cared the most about state affairs, and also cared about his father.

Cui Heng propped his forehead and asked him: "Did you hear it all? What do you think?"

The second prince bowed his waist and talked about his thoughts, very upright, very upright.

Cui Heng strengthened his spirits and enlightened on a few key points. The second prince said: Father is so wise and benevolent that no one can match him!

Cui Heng was suddenly deeply tired: "Prince! Thinking that when I was the prince, I accompanied your grandfather to study government affairs, and I was slack all night. I didn't dare to take one more step, for fear of missing one step. I was very tired."

The second prince didn't know why his father suddenly remembered the past, so he had no choice but to bow down and say hello.

Cui Heng said: "I call you now, am I more tired than I was back then?"

The second prince quickly kowtowed, and then played back: the country's accumulated diseases happened to emerge in the past few years, thanks to how wise and powerful the father was, he was able to cure them. As his son, he watched by and learned a lot.It is expected that the country will be thriving once the difficulties are overcome in the past two years. His father will be able to rule the country for thousands of years. He already feels very honored to be the son of such a father.

Great answer.Cui Heng wanted to be someone else's son himself, but he only answered so and so.But among these answers, how many are sincere?Whether it’s fake or not, let’s talk about sincerity...

He waved his hand, and said kindly: "My son, you are still young, and it is not easy to achieve this level. If you learn more, Father is very optimistic about you."

The second prince kowtowed and retreated.

Cui Heng was still thinking: Why is it so unlucky?In the past few years, so many things happened one after another?

No one could tell him that the bad luck he thought was actually all groundless and not without reason.

It's just that no one can reflect those causes and effects to him.

It is important, that is, the struggles of the poor at the bottom, some of which are not reflected in the officials' books, all of which are prosperous and peaceful——

Yes, if you walk from Jincheng to the capital, you will see peace, and if you occasionally see a few poor people out of the corner of your eye, what is it?Where are there not many poor people?

No one talked about the hardships of the residents in the old street where Mingzhu was born.The gangsters in the old city of Hulupiao can start street fighting, and no one dares to stab the emperor.It's like a watermelon, placed on the ground, covered by the green skin, slowly rotten inside... Suddenly it fell to the ground, and the stinky water flowed sideways. You wonder why it was so unlucky, and it splashed Smelly water?

well!Don't think these old streets are trivial.Jincheng is still considered a rich city in this dynasty, not to mention the status of the capital.They all have old neighborhoods. What if other small towns are secluded?How many "old towns and old towns" will hide in the corner and no one will know, slowly rotten like watermelons?

This was back when everyone was talking about the prosperous age. In a great battle, the Rong people took advantage of the ability of the merchants to extract almost all the gold and silver treasures from the land they occupied. Cui Heng, down to the ministers, all said that they should govern the country frugally, and most of the books they played boasted how they were frugal and safe for the people, so that everyone could still live... In fact, after this book, how many people will not be able to live? !

In the next few days, both inside and outside the palace were busy.The disaster was not settled for a while, and there were many discussions about whether Yu Qiushan was the chief culprit of burning the mountain. The common people didn't know, and they didn't know who revealed it. They made him into the drama and said, so everyone in the streets and alleys knew.He is a hero, but the hunger is right in front of him-people starve to death in the west, refugees come to the south, and the food in the south is already less than in previous years, but it has to be transported to the west!How can it be born?

In this way, the dissatisfaction with Yu Qiushan became more and more, and some of them were thinking about old feelings, not talking about Old General Yu, but talking about other civil and military generals—even complaining about the Lord of Heaven, that is, alluding to the Emperor of Heaven.

Cui Heng and other civil and military generals had no choice but to ask Yu Qiushan to honestly address the public grievances.

Yu Qiushan deeply repented for his reckless act of burning the mountain.At such a great age, with new war wounds on his body, he took off his armor, knelt on the ground with tears and snot in his eyes, and his nose was sore when he saw it.

In fact, Cui Heng also feels distressed - what's the use of distressing?Let's overcome the difficulties together, come up with some ideas!

Yunjian finally made up his mind.

Yun Jian is not a master of heaven, and he can't do anything about wind and sand, but he is a Confucian general, which means he can fight like a murderer, and he can take bad ideas like an ancient sage.

At present, his idea is: Anyway, there is a shortage of soldiers and food in the west, why not transport all the hungry people who have no food to the border with the Rong people, and let them charge without any tactics, and tell them: "There is food over there!"

Isn't this more powerful than locusts?

Are the people of Xirong and Beihu not human?Are they not afraid of locusts?

If you like them to rob us, don't you like us to rob them?

Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, can't we catch up with rabbits!

Cui Heng felt that the above ideas were very good, and immediately authorized Yunjian to implement them.

Yunjian solved a large part of the hungry people, and the defense line of the Han people advanced several cities to Xirong, achieving a rare victory.I heard that the Rong people are already crying and shouting about the "Han calamity".The Han people felt that being called a scourge by their neighbors was a historic progress—it was better than being held at home by their neighbors for food and clothing.So the common people are very happy, decorate with lanterns and festoons to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The weather is getting colder, the sandstorm has stopped, and drought-resistant crops have been promoted. Sweet potatoes and other things are all sourced from the Western Regions. Xirong originally planned to block it: "We are enemies, why should I send seedlings to the enemy?" This kind of mentality .But the Han people showed the pride of "don't give us seeds, okay, we will eat you after you are cooked." Xi Rong also flinched.

The grassland in Beihu is also affected by the sandstorm in the west, and the grassland has been terribly hit.The Great Khan of Beihu even took the initiative to contact the Central Plains to see if Mingchun could join hands to solve the desert problem. "If this goes on, everyone will have nothing to eat."

On behalf of the Great Khan, the sender sent condolences to Yunjian: How is the golden eagle?

So sour!

On the bright side, this is the Great Khan knowing about the dogleg usurping the throne and forming an alliance with Yunjian, but he dare not intervene, which is a big show of weakness.Actually?Since the Great Khan knew about the golden eagle, could he not know that Yunjian broke off a piece of the tiger talisman and gave it to the dog?Great Khan is using a handle to threaten Yunjian! —Look at what you've done!Just be more polite with me, otherwise I will sue your emperor for you.You Han people are taboo about this, right?Don't say whether your heart is for the Central Plains.Just give the tiger talisman to outsiders, and let your court know that you are not troublesome!

Yun Jian smiled, and replied: "The golden eagle has already returned to Yunshang."

The messenger was taken aback: "The general let him go?"

"Yes."L
