After making a decision, Wang Hongyi left the palace again in the early morning of the next day, for some reason.

The snow was still falling, and although it was not large, it was cold to the bones after staying outside for a long time.

In the wooden shed of the porridge shed, the homeless people have already begun to be settled, Wang Hongyi saw that the ground was covered with straw, and it was crowded with people, but it would not be too cold.

Seeing that the number of displaced people who froze to death on the street was decreasing, Wang Hongyi exhaled a breath of turbidity and smiled to himself in his heart.

This decision was made according to the national policy of the six emperors of the United States -- according to the ancient saying, it was "the remnants of Fen VI, killing the Indians and clearing the universe, swallowing the states and passing through the slaves, and performing the supremacy and ruling the world!"

Wang Hongyi's self-defeat is that history has proved that this is the best policy to clean up the source, and he is still a little uneasy.

In the past, I thought that I would already be able to "walk according to the Tao and have great virtues", but I didn't think that I would really follow the Tao at this time, but I was still uneasy.

"Let's go back!" Wang Hongyi took the lead in turning the horse's head, and said at the same time, anyway, what should be seen has already been seen, there are still many affairs in the palace that he needs to deal with, and it is only right to go back early.

"No!" the accompanying tiger guard glanced at the homeless again, answered, and turned his horse's head on the snow.

The group returned the way they had come, but no one said anything along the way.

The condition of the displaced people made these people feel stuffy in their hearts, as if something was blocking their throats, and while their faces were calm, even the weather felt colder and colder.

When he returned to the palace, Wang Hongyi had already handed over the horse he was riding to the guards, sat on the throne, and headed towards the palace.

"Lord, are you going back to the inner palace, or are you going to the outer palace?" asked a guard after entering the palace gate.

Wang Hongyi said without thinking: "Go to the secretary's pavilion." ”

"Yes!" Cheng Yu did not enter the inner palace, and went directly to the south.

At this time, except for the guards and some attendants, there were no outsiders in the palace, and they fell directly in front of the door, and a eunuch had already run over to salute and open the door.

In other words, naturally there are sinners, or some people, who are willing to be castrated into the palace, and in just three months, there are dozens more.

There are not many eunuchs in the palace, but there are still a few here, these eunuchs who are waiting, they are not very old, and when they step into the secretary's pavilion, a faint heat will come to their faces, and the door will be closed behind them, blocking the cold behind them.

The eunuch who served beside Wang Hongyi was the chief here.

Under his service, Wang Hongyi took off his coat, changed into a pair of warm and comfortable boots, and asked: "I'm a little hungry, order someone to have breakfast, a few home-cooked dishes are enough!"

"Yes, Lord!" Wang Hongyi ordered down, and the eunuch did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly went out to prepare.

Wang Hongyi had already sat down at the desk, picked up a document, carefully reviewed it, and when he put it down, Wang Hongyi was already a little hungry.

At this time, the eunuch and a few maids walked in from outside.

There was a table, which was prepared for the people who were busy eating here, and without Wang Hongyi's instructions, the eunuch asked a few maids to put a few delicate side dishes on the square table, and at the same time there was a large bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, a pair of silver chopsticks, and a small pot of warm wine, and a small silver wine glass.

"Lord, the meal is ready. After waving his hand to make a few maids retreat, the eunuch walked to Wang Hongyi's side and replied in a low voice.

"Yes. Wang Hongyi nodded, put the paperwork in his hand, and walked down a few steps to the square table.

The eunuch hurriedly pulled out the chair and served Wang Hongyi to sit down. He carefully poured wine for Wang Hongyi, and stood aside with low eyebrows.

Unlike other princes, Wang Hongyi was a little particular about food, but he was not extravagant. Usually speaking, you can eat enough, just ask for good food, and don't talk about any pomp.

This can be seen by just looking at the dishes he uses at this time.

This bowl of soup is a jade clear soup, add some wontons, take a bite, it is very delicious, but the taste is not heavy.

After eating, the eunuch stepped forward, cleaned up the table, and went out with the empty cups and plates, Wang Hongyi sat back in front of the bookcase, and started to stay again.

I don't know when, the eunuch came in again with two sets of tea cups, first served Wang Hongyi to rinse his mouth, and then served the tea he ate.

When he came in again, Wang Hongyi stopped him. "Come and grind for Lone. ”

"Yes!"

While looking at the scroll in his hand, Wang Hongyi suddenly asked, "Yu Liu, how did you enter the palace as an inner servant?"

There were originally more than a dozen eunuchs in the palace, and most of them followed the surname Yu.

The eunuch was slightly stunned, but quickly replied: "Lord, the slave and maid were hungry when they fled from the famine because of the disaster at home, and they happened to meet someone who was taking in young children, and the family was given some food. Later, after a few more hands, Fang was sold into the palace as an internal servant. ”

Later, I came to this Shu palace with my father-in-law, and I stayed for more than ten years, and I didn't even eat hot rice in winter, but now I finally follow the lord and have some good words. As he spoke, Yu Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

The eunuch has no master, nothing at all.

Wang Hongyi sighed, knowing that most of these eunuchs had poor backgrounds.

"Your father and mother sold you for food, do you hate them?" he asked, thinking for a moment.

Yu Liu shook his head and said, "Lord, the slaves and maids don't resent them. If it weren't for the sale of slaves and maids, it would be a family that died in one place, and if the slaves and maids were sold, the slaves and maids and they could all survive...... It is really terrible to make a disaster and famine, dead people are everywhere, people eat people are common, and it is not uncommon for them to eat children, they just sold the slaves and maids, which is already extremely distressing for the slaves and maids. What's more, they also found a chance for the slaves and maids to live......"

Speaking of this, Yu Liu's face, which had always looked pleasing, showed a touch of sadness.

Immediately, Yu Liu, who had undergone formal court training, immediately realized where he was and who was in front of him, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground with a plop and said with a pale face: "The slave and maid are out of character, please punish the master." ”

"Excuse me, it's Lone who told you to say this, it has nothing to do with you, get up. Wang Hongyi said lightly, in fact, he was very satisfied, if it weren't for these eunuchs, how could he come up with a complete set of palace rules in a short time?

Only then did Yu Liu stand up cautiously and stand aside, not daring to say anything more.

Today, Yu Liu's gaffe is rare, he has been in this palace for decades, what should be done and what should not be done has been carved into the bone marrow.

If it weren't for the sad things that were mentioned today, he wouldn't have been so emotionally exposed.

Thinking like this, seeing Wang Hongyi walking out again, he hurriedly followed.

Wang Hongyi stopped in front of the secretary's pavilion, turned his head, and said to him: "The snow has stopped outside, tell me to be alone." ”

Yu Liu hurriedly lowered his head and responded: "No." ”

Wang Hongyi then walked past him and returned to the inner room.

Yu Liu didn't quite understand what the master was thinking, but as a minion, he did whatever the master commanded.

So he ran outside, instructed a few maids to go down, and hurriedly returned to the inner room to continue to serve Wang Hongyi.

The snow didn't fall for long, but it stopped for a while.

The sky seemed to be clearing, and Wang Hongyi, who had received the eunuch's report, stretched out his waist in front of the bookcase, and this party stood up.

"Pass the order down, transfer a hundred tiger guards, and go out with Gu. By the way, prepare a set of casual clothes for Lonely. ”

"No. When Yu Liu heard this, he gave the order to go down.

When Wang Hongyi sat in front of the palace gate, hundreds of tiger guards were already dressed in civilian clothes and waiting in front of the gate on horseback.

Wang Hongyi was dressed in civilian clothes, wrapped very tightly, and it was a light horse suit, led his horse, turned over on the horse, and said lightly: "You will go out of the city with you to inspect." ”

"No!"

With these hundreds of horses, Wang Hongyi took the lead and walked out of the city from the palace gate. Because the retinue had a token, although he did not report his identity, there was still no one at the city gate.

The camp of these hundreds of tiger guards is Zhou Rong, who was personally promoted by Wang Hongyi, and can be regarded as a cultivated henchman.

At the beginning, Zhou Rong didn't care, a hundred fast horses, even though it was snow, it could travel thirty miles per hour, and after an hour, he actually ran sixty miles, and he had reached the edge of Chengdu.

Not long after passing Yueming County, at this time, he went all the way to the direction of Xiyizhou, so he urged Ma to come to Wang Hongyi's side and asked: "My lord, although Dongyizhou has been pacified, but Xiyizhou is in turmoil, you are a daughter, how can you take the risk yourself? If you believe in Weichen, Weichen is willing to take a team of people to investigate the situation in Xiyizhou." ”

Obviously, Wang Hongyi's intentions were discovered, and Zhou Rong wanted to persuade Wang Hongyi back.

"Hehe, how did you find out?" asked Wang Hongyi casually, the horse's speed slowing down slightly.

"Lord, this is almost past the border, and Weichen doesn't know it yet, it's a capital crime. Zhou Rong said.

"Lone just plans to patrol the border, and he doesn't plan to go to Xiyi Prefecture, once he encounters a situation, isn't there still you waiting?

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Rong, who was still planning to persuade him, immediately looked abrupt and said in a loud voice: "I am willing to swear to protect the lord to the death!"

Seeing this, Wang Hongyi's face softened and said, "What are you waiting for?" ”

A group of people headed towards the border.

At first, there were still groups of displaced people on the road, but the further we went to the border, the more displaced people gradually disappeared.

Wang Hongyi's face did not improve, but became more and more ugly, just because although the number of displaced people is decreasing, there are more and more frozen corpses on the ground.

At first, there were only a few corpses lying on the side of the road, but later on, corpses could be seen almost everywhere on the roadside, all ragged and skinny.

looked at Zhou Rong and the others on the side, all with unbearable expressions.

Wang Hongyi didn't say a word, just asked: "Who is this Yueming County Order?"

"It was originally demoted to Wei Chongde. ”

Wang Hongyi did not speak, this situation is obviously that the county order of Yueming County is doing well, resulting in the fact that there are very few dead people close to Chengdu now, and many dead people near the border, which can be commended.

At this time, Zhou Rong intercepted for the second time and said, "Lord, you can't go any further." ”

Wang Hongyi didn't say a word, reined in his horse, sighed, and was almost at the border at this time, staring at it for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Go back!"

I thought about how to go back and see this county order, if it was desirable, it would be naturally promoted.
