Chapter 397
Everyone looked at Li Er with expectant eyes.
Say a thousand words and ten thousand words.
The person who finally makes the decision must be him.
Li Er was silent for a long time, stood up slowly, and said heavily: "I have decided to issue a self-reproach edict, I will not fail the people of the world! Yizhou is a land of abundance with plenty of grain, let the refugees go there to find a way to live!"
After speaking, Li Er suddenly felt abdominal pain, and quickly left the Taiji Hall to go to the toilet.
Maybe he ate too many locusts!
"Your Majesty, absolutely not! Absolutely not!!"
Fang Xuanling was still shouting earnestly behind, but no one wanted to pay attention to him anymore.
Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling with extremely contemptuous eyes.
Great Tang is unable to provide disaster relief, all because of my dereliction of duty! I am sorry to my ancestors, to...
Look down on him!
The former first strategist of Great Tang has now become a running dog by Qin Mu's side.
Bah!
Soon.
Only Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji were left in the empty Taiji Hall.
Fang Xuanling lowered his head lonely, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Old Fang, why bother? Why go against the people of the world? Great Tang can no longer save those refugees, can't you see?"
Zhangsun Wuji said earnestly.
"Zhangsun Wuji!!!" Fang Xuanling turned around suddenly, roared, and pointed at Zhangsun Wuji tremblingly: "This is all your conspiracy, right? In order to avenge your son, you don't hesitate to use Great Tang as a bargaining chip!"
"I don't understand what you are saying. I am just thinking for Great Tang, so many refugees die?"
"I!"
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
Yes!
There is really no way!
Sigh!
Let fate decide!
I hope those refugees can drag Great Qin down!
If you don't let them go to Great Qin to find a way to live, do you want to watch them starve to death?
Soon.
A self-reproach edict was issued to various parts of Great Tang.
The general meaning is that Li Er admits his incompetence and is sorry for the people of Great Tang.
Besides that.
Li Er also mentioned one thing.
Yizhou has grain!
This news came out and immediately shocked the entire Great Tang.
Refugees from all over the country rushed to the southwest of Great Tang.
The official road was overcrowded.
Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangnan, Saibei, and other places, countless refugees traveled day and night, regardless of life and death, moving in the same direction.
Yizhou!
No matter whether the news of the imperial court is true or false, they must try it.
No one wants to die, let alone be starved to death.
Those aristocratic families in Great Tang who have hatred with Qin Mu and Great Qin are gloating.
Some families even provided grain and horses, specifically used to transport refugees to the border of Yizhou quickly.
In an instant.
Countless eyes were staring at Great Qin, staring at Qin Mu.
They couldn't wait to see Qin Mu have bad luck, wanting to see these millions drag Great Qin down!
Not only that.
Some families had already written a manifesto to denounce the thief.
Once Qin Mu and Great Qin were unwilling to accept the refugees, they would announce these manifestos to the world, denouncing the violent Qin for not saving them.
... Seeking flowers... 0
If those refugees who had already lost their reason listened to these words, millions of refugees would become millions of hungry ghosts about to starve to death, and would rush to Yizhou regardless of everything.
And that is exactly what all the upper classes of Great Tang hope to see.
Of course, including Li Er!
He wanted to see Great Qin perish more than anyone else.
Yizhou border.
On the city tower.
Figures were flickering.
Empress Zhangsun, Li Xueyan, Wu Zetian, and Princess Changle looked into the distance with complex expressions.
Outside the city gate.
Millions of refugees from Great Tang surrounded the city tightly.
They were thin as sticks, like withered wood.
Everyone's eyes were glowing with green light, just like hungry ghosts crawling out of hell.
What made people's scalps numb was the surrounding environment.
Quiet!
Terribly quiet!
Millions of refugees did not make a sound, they were all waiting quietly.
From this, it can be seen.
These refugees were hungry to the extreme, and even had no strength to make a sound.
Perhaps if they delayed for another day or two, I don't know how many people would have starved to death.
That would be a human tragedy.
"My god! When did Great Tang have so many refugees? Why didn't they go to Changancheng?"
Princess Changle looked at those refugees blankly, unable to describe the shock in her heart.
"This..."
Empress Zhangsun was a little dumbfounded, and didn't know what was going on.
A few days ago.
A large number of refugees suddenly appeared at the Yizhou border.
Increasing day by day!
Instead of going there, they came here?
The entire Great Qin was in an uproar.
No one knew what was going on.
Qin Mu learned the news and immediately set off to Yizhou City, the city located in the easternmost part of Yizhou, bordering Great Tang.
"Isn't this simple? Of course, it's a good idea from your good father."
Qin Mu, standing on the city tower, smiled coldly.
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"
Princess Changle tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.
"According to the news obtained before, Great Tang has been plagued by locusts for a month, and the total number of disaster victims has reached millions!"
"In the past two years, Great Tang has been poor in soldiers and weapons, the grain and grass in the national treasury have long been exhausted, and disaster relief is simply unsustainable."
"I heard that your father also issued a self-reproach edict, nominally saying that he is ashamed of the world, but actually calling on all refugees to find a way to live in Great Qin."
"According to my guess, Great Tang should be unable to withstand the pressure of millions of refugees and drove all these refugees to the border of Great Qin."
"In this way, I can be trapped in a dilemma. If I help these refugees, Great Qin will be dragged down by these millions of refugees. If I don't help these refugees, I guess many people in Great Tang have already written manifestos, ready to incite the emotions of the refugees and let Great Qin fall into internal and external troubles." ===== CHAPTER 399 =====
