After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 42 Arrive in the capital
As for what the servants of the Meng family said, "It's important to save your life if you give up your things," the refugees didn't listen at all.

For them now, the little thing the Meng family has given them is the thing that saves their lives, and it is simply as precious as their lives.

Instead of cowardly handing over their things and letting the whole family die of cold, starvation and illness, they would rather risk their lives and fight with that group of people.

Their unexpected change of attitude caused a huge loss to the refugees who, as they expected, came to them to steal things immediately after hearing the news.

Those refugees were frightened out of their wits by the guards of Zhenbei Palace at night, and in the morning they suffered a big loss in front of other refugees who used to be honest and peaceful, but were now more ruthless than them and more united than ever before. Everyone can't help but start to wonder if they have done too many bad things, so they start to have bad luck out of control.

Those who were accustomed to doing bad things were afraid and retreated. Those refugees who successfully protected themselves and their families became braver and more united because they tasted the sweetness of bravery and unity.

They watched and helped each other, and during the period before the government arranged for the refugees to return to their hometowns and settle down, they successfully protected the old, weak, women and children in their respective teams, and greatly reduced the number of deaths in the refugee teams.

For these chain reactions caused by Yu Zizhen's rescue of Meng Tingru, the system calculated the points for Yu Zizhen in a strict manner, so that Yu Zizhen would receive a wave of points rewards every now and then along the way.

Seven days later, a group of people rushed to the capital after a long journey.

When it was their turn to enter the city, it was almost dusk. As a sign of sympathy, someone in the palace passed along the emperor's oral instructions, telling Yu Zizhen that they did not have to rush to the palace to see him tonight.

After agreeing on a time to pick up Yu Zizhen from the palace tomorrow, the eunuch who delivered the order followed the eunuch who came to deliver the emperor's order back to the palace. The other accompanying officials and soldiers said goodbye to Yu Zizhen and others and returned to their homes. .

The remaining servants of the Beijing Palace who had been waiting nearby did not dare to come forward until now. They saluted Yu Zizhen and Mr. Jiang in turn, "Food and hot water have been prepared in the mansion. Your Majesty, please come into the mansion with the younger ones to rest."

Yu Zizhen nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

The servants who stayed behind in the palace in the capital couldn't help but feel slightly relieved when they saw her calm expression, gentle tone, and approachable and polite words.

Although they are also sons of the Wangfu family, in the eyes and hearts of the masters of the Wangfu family, they must be far inferior to those sons of the Wangfu family in the north.

If they can stay in the palace in the capital, lying flat and paralyzed, then they don't really care about the temperament of the masters in the palace, and whether the masters in the palace value them and trust them or not.

But who made His Majesty the Emperor suddenly issue an order to summon their seven-year-old master to the capital?

The good days of lying down, lying flat, and being paralyzed will never come again. As the sons of the royal family, they must serve the young master together with the royal servants from the north.

In this case, it becomes necessary to find out the temperament and preferences of the little master in advance, so as to be able to adapt to his preferences in the shortest possible time and become a servant that the other party trusts and reuses.

With this in mind, they relied on favors and connections, and finally managed to get themselves the hard job of guarding the city gate and waiting to pick people up.

Yes, drudgery.

But such a hard job has now become a hot commodity because Yu Zizhen and his party are about to live in Beijing permanently.The servants of the palace who had their own thoughts, enthusiastic yet respectful, led Yu Zizhen and others all the way back to the palace in the capital.

After receiving the news, the palace steward had already been waiting outside the main entrance of the palace. When he saw the carriage bearing the palace emblem slowly approaching, the old steward rushed forward with excitement on his face while wiping his tears.

When the driver saw the gray-haired old housekeeper, he slowed down and reminded Yu Zizhen in the car, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the palace."

Yu Zizhen responded. When the carriage came to a slow stop, she immediately jumped out of the carriage neatly, surrounded by Madam Zhang, Yu Heng, and Yao Guang, without any intention of trying to intimidate everyone.

"Old slave Yu Sheng, pay your respects to the crown prince." As soon as the old housekeeper who was waiting by the carriage saw Yu Zizhen, he immediately bent his knees and knelt down towards Yu Zizhen.

Behind him, other servants of the palace also knelt on the ground.

Listening to the "Meet the Crown Prince" one after another, Yu Zizhen hurriedly walked a few steps and reached out to help the gray-haired old housekeeper, "No courtesy, no courtesy."

Although the old housekeeper Yu Sheng stayed in the capital, she was a close confidant of her grandfather, the old King of Zhenbei. He was the current King of Zhenbei, the nominal father of Yu Zizhen, and he had to be polite when he saw Yu Sheng.

The old man served as the old king's attendant for 30 years. During this period, he accompanied the old king on the battlefield more than once. He even defended the old king from arrows and knives several times. It was not until the previous master died of illness that he finally Take off your military uniform.

After King Zhenbei inherited the palace and military power, Yu Sheng, together with his group of old brothers, proposed to retire to the second line and support him.

It's not that they have any objections to the King of Zhenbei, but that as the confidants of the old King of Zhenbei, the King of Zhenbei really doesn't dispatch them according to his own wishes without any psychological burden, just like sending his own capable subordinates.

Even if they did something wrong, King Zhenbei would not be able to scold and punish his father's old subordinates.

In this case, these people will undoubtedly hinder him invisibly, prevent him from establishing absolute prestige in the army, and prevent him from taking complete power in the army and the palace.

This is not what King Zhenbei wants to see, nor is it what the old King Zhenbei wants to see, but they cannot clearly stage a "one emperor and one courtier" in the palace.

At this time, we need those "old people" and our sensible selves to put forward their needs for support.

Of course, the successor King Zhenbei will not treat these "old people" badly.

Although the "old people" themselves have retreated to the second line, their sons, nephews, nephews, etc. will become the personal guards and long-term followers of the new Zhenbei King after they retreat to the second line.

In addition, the successor King Zhenbei will also fully consider the personal wishes of the "old people" and arrange a suitable place for them to live as comfortably as possible for the rest of their lives.

Yu Sheng, one of the "old men", was sent by King Zhenbei to guard the palace in the capital because he wanted to come to the capital.Even the King of Zhenbei thoughtfully transferred his youngest son's family over so that he could have children and grandchildren to live by.
