Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

The boy spoke seriously in a slightly immature tone, his eyes full of persistence.

After listening to Little Tudou, Emperor Qi Heng waved to him gently.

"Son, come here."

"Yes, master." Little Tudou's eyes shone brightly, and he straightened his back and walked in front of Emperor Qi Heng like a little adult.

Emperor Qi Heng got up and touched his little head, and said with a smile, "You are so clever, you even call yourself a 'subordinate', can you be taken into the army?"
"Thank you, Master, and General He.'

The father and son were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were about to kneel down and be held back by Emperor Qiheng.

"It is commendable to take the initiative to join the army and serve the country." Emperor Qi Heng smiled, and then turned to He Mang, "By the way, General He, what policies can benefit the people if someone in the family joins the army?

"Yes, my lord." He Mang replied respectfully, "One month ago His Royal Highness promulgated such a law that anyone who joins the army will be paid three taels of silver every year, and the army's taxes will be exempted in bad years and half in good years."

Emperor Qi Heng nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

The Great Zhou Kingdom naturally does not have such laws and regulations. The reason why he asked this question was to find a reason to repay the man's "favor of a meal"

I never thought that the Night King would be so sympathetic to his soldiers, and he had already issued such a law.

In this way, the imperial court no longer has to force conscription, and soldiers will not complain and go to the battlefield to make fun of fish.

Hearing such preferential treatment, the man was also taken aback for a moment, and was so excited that tears filled his eyes for a while, he couldn't say a word.

What else can he say? This is a good policy that no dynasty could possibly have.

The father and son originally wanted to join the army under the King of the Night to repay their favor, but they never thought that they would take advantage of His Highness the King of the Night again.

The man can only urge his son earnestly.

"Son, His Royal Highness Yewang is good. Dad won't say anything. We must know how to be grateful. We must train well when we enter the military camp in the future. We must not be greedy for life and fear death, and we will defend our home and country in the future."

"My son knows." Little Tudou replied seriously, and then knelt down in front of the man, dozing off three times.

"Father, from today onwards, my child will no longer be able to fulfill my filial piety in front of my parents, nor can I take care of my younger siblings and perform my elder brother's duties. Please tell my mother and younger siblings to express my respect for me."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about these things, remember to write home when you are free." The man had tears in his eyes, and then thanked Emperor Qi Heng and He Mang, turned around and hurried out of the camp.

Not long after he had gone, Ah Qin chased him out.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Tudou."

The man turned around with red eyes, and said gratefully, "Miss Aqin, meeting you and the master is a blessing accumulated by our Yang family ancestors for eight generations."

"If my Tudou is afraid of hardship or tiredness and disobedient, you can teach me a lesson, thank you."

After finishing speaking, the man looked deeply at his son who poked out his small head from the tent, and quickly turned around and left.

"Little Tudou, you will stay with me from today on." He Mang liked this child very much, and called him over with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you to the barracks to have a look, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Fill your belly."

After saying that, He Mang took Little Tudou and left.

And Emperor Qi Heng was really tired, so Aqin and Jiang Yuan stuffed him with several Tang women on the bed, warmed the bed, and then helped Emperor Qi Heng who was dozing off to bed.

This sleep lasted until the evening before waking up, and then got dressed and got up under the care of Jiang Yu'an and A-Qin.

"Your Majesty, come here to enjoy the fire." Jiang Yuan heated up the charcoal fire, and put a thick woolen leather on the armchair.

Emperor Qi Heng came over and sat down comfortably. At this time, Aqin made hot tea and refreshments for him, and the three of them sat and chatted.

"How many months has that girl been pregnant? I'm going to be a grandfather."

After escaping from the palace, Emperor Qi Heng completely let go of his status as emperor, and only regarded himself as an ordinary citizen. He was very excited thinking that he would soon be a grandfather.

Jiang Yuan was also very happy, "Yes, yes, the three babies are active, and their little arms and legs are kicking vigorously. Today I specially ran to Tongzhou to visit them, haha."

"Three babies?" Qi Hengdi's expression tightened, "This is a very rare thing." I only knew in the letter that Princess Ye was pregnant, but I didn't know that it was the third child. .

But if all three babies in this pregnancy are boys
That~~ is not an auspicious thing!
Just as he was thinking like this, he heard the sound of the wheels of the carriage, and stopped directly outside the camp.

"Sister Yu'an and brother-in-law Ah Xun must have arrived." Jiang Yu'an excitedly stood up and ran out of the tent.

Opening the curtain, a carriage was indeed parked in the snow. His Royal Highness Ye Wang, who was as big, mighty and handsome as King Ye, was carefully helping the pregnant Shen Yu to get off the carriage.

"Be careful, Yu Yu is careful." Ji Xunfeng told him like a precious treasure, he wanted to hug the pregnant woman, but he was afraid that the baby would be uncomfortable, so he was a little at a loss what to do.

"I'm fine, don't be so nervous, Ah Xun."

Shen Yuan was wrapped in a fluffy cloak and wore a strange hat on his head, and got out of the carriage awkwardly with Ji Xun's support.

"Sister Yu'an, brother-in-law Ah Xun, you guys have counted." Jiang Yu'an ran over to support Shen Yu'an, "Is it too cold? Hurry up and get into the tent." He rubbed Shen Yu's cold hands while talking.

The journey was too far and the carriage did not dare to drive too fast, so the hand stove was cold on the road.

"Sister Jiang Yu'an, where is the emperor? But it's inside." Shen Yu'an asked Jiang Yu'an, guessing that the emperor must be back, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many dishes for Jiang Yu'an to rush back for the emperor to enjoy.

"Come back, come back, in the tent."

Jiang Yu'an was beaten up by A Qin before she finished speaking, and she came out with Qi Hengdi on her arm.

"I have seen my father." Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun hurriedly saluted Emperor Qi Heng respectfully.

"Come in, come in, what are you doing with so many etiquettes?" Emperor Qi Heng looked at Ji Xun and Shen Yuan, his eyes were wet, and hurriedly called them to sit in the tent.

"Father, you have worked hard all the way." Looking at Emperor Qi Heng's white hair and thin cheeks, Shen Yuan couldn't help feeling sore.

This is the Ninth Five-Year Lord of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and now he has escaped from the palace and wandered here after suffering so much, it is really embarrassing.

Emperor Qi Heng looked indifferent and satisfied, "I didn't work hard, I worked hard, Girl Qin, Girl Jiang and Yingying, they also spent a lot of thought on taking care of me, an old man along the way."

These words sounded more like ordinary people, and he didn't regard himself as an emperor at all.

After booing each other and talking about what happened on the road, Emperor Qi Heng cast his eyes on Ji Xun.

"How is the battle going now? How many soldiers does Zhu Xiangyu have left?"
Ji Xun answered carefully while warming his hands.

"Wang Chang and Lin Yi Niu Zhi are cleaning up the battlefield. It is not clear exactly how many soldiers he led to escape, but it is estimated to be around 40 to [-]."

"Have you sent troops to pursue it?" Emperor Qi Heng asked. He is the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom after all, and he is extremely concerned about state affairs.

Although the 'new emperor' is now enthroned, but the old emperor has not yet passed away, so the new emperor's name is naturally not right.

He, the emperor, escaped from the palace and came to the Night King. Now it is justifiable for them to attack the capital.

Thinking that the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall is now full of ghosts, ghosts and demons, he can't wait any longer. After all, it is his negligence of the emperor that caused such a chaotic situation! Can you not worry?
Ji Xun knew what Emperor Qi Heng was thinking, and explained: "Zhu Xiangyu used your trick of intercepting the grain, causing an avalanche to block the road at the pass. If you make a detour, it is impossible to catch up, so I feel that there is no one to pursue. Necessary."

As he spoke, he looked out of the window where the snow had started to fall again, "This snow disaster is not over yet. I heard from the shadow that many people have long been out of food, and changing children for food happens from time to time, so I decided to rescue the disaster first, not to make the people cold for the sake of fighting." heart of.'
"Of course, we must fight this battle, and I will definitely send my father back to the capital and back to the palace." "But don't be in a hurry. We will advance all the way north while doing disaster relief. Let's see where Zhu Xiangyu retreats." up."

Listening to Ji Xun's explanation, Emperor Qi Heng thought of Little Tudou's parents, they were so looking forward to day and night, looking forward to the night king's invasion of Luozhou so as to bring them hope for life.

This kind of people is not limited to Luozhou, I am afraid that all the people in the world who have been hit by the snow disaster have such thoughts.

I don't know when the Night King became their savior, their hope, and their expectation!
But the Night King never let them down at all. Winning the battle and the throne were not what he thought about. What he thought about was how to rescue the disaster and how to keep the people alive.

Therefore, if the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not handed over to the Night King, who else will it be handed over to?
After deep contemplation, Emperor Qi Heng nodded heavily.

After talking about political affairs for a while, Emperor Qi Heng's eyes fell on the hat Shen Yuan was wearing, with a look of novelty.

"Hiss~~ Why do you have so many strange things in your mind, girl? Isn't this hat unique? How did you do it?"

"Oh, it's called a woolen hat. I made it by hand." Shen Yuan grinned, took off the woolen hat and pulled it in his hand, "Look? It can be big or small, and it can cover your ears. It's warm.'

Everyone watched Shen Yuan fiddle with it, but still felt a little unacceptable.

Jiang Yuan took the hat from Shen Yuan and shook his head helplessly.

"This hat is indeed soft and warm, but won't the hairstyle be completely crushed when it is worn on the head?" As he said, he put the hat on his head, but it was blocked by the high bun and he couldn't wear it at all.

Jiang Yuan took off the hat and handed it back to Shen Yuan, and looked at her with a smile, "Unless everyone has disheveled hair like you, haha!"

"It seems to be peace." Shen Yuan took the hat regretfully, raised her eyebrows, "It's a pity, such a good thing~~" She knew that it was impossible to persuade everyone's hair to be disheveled and not tied into a bun, so she gave up.

At this time, Ji Xun took the hat, and looked at his wife tenderly and affectionately.

"This hat looks better on my family Yu'an than wearing a bun! Come on, my husband will put it on for you." While talking, he combed Shen Yu's long black hair with his slender jade fingers, and carefully put the wool cap on Shen Yu'an .

Shen Yuan adjusted his hat a little by himself, and then looked at everyone mysteriously.

"Not only this woolen hat, but also how many novel objects I have made during this time~~" He turned around and ordered, "Linger, take my bag of things from the carriage, and I will open your eyes."
