Chapter 571: One Heaven, One Hell
After listening to Ji Chuhe's words, everyone felt a glimmer of hope again.
"Yes, everyone, get moving. We are not going to starve to death. Eat whatever is available, whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the river. If you can get food, it means you have the ability!"
"Yes! Let's go find something to eat!"
Ji Chuhe watched the crowd disperse and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There were a few elderly men on the roadside, squatting in the sun in the corner, with no desire to survive in their eyes.
"This batch of grain from Prince Huaiyang can only solve this urgent problem. If the war in the north does not continue, this kind of forced donation will happen again." One of the old men said.
"Who says it's not true? The barbarians haven't come to attack us, so why should we fight? Doesn't the emperor care about the lives of us civilians?"
"The emperor would care about the lives of ordinary people like us? What you said is really ridiculous. Since our emperor ascended the throne, he has been the least concerned about the lives of ordinary people!"
"Be careful what you say! You'll be beheaded if you say that."
"Behead? I'm old, am I still afraid of him beheading me? Even if he wants to kill all nine of my clans, he won't be able to find a single one."
Ji Chuhe listened to the conversation between these people silently.
The people are already quite disappointed with the emperor.
What the emperor cares least about are these people who are like ants.
He didn't know how much energy these ants in his eyes could unleash once they united.
Did he think that he could suppress the people with a large army? The soldiers in those armies were also the sons of the people!
The news that Ji Chuhe and King Huaiyang were bowed to by the people also spread to Chao Sihai.
As the emperor's personal steward, he is responsible for all outside intelligence.
He threw the information directly into the charcoal fire.
"The food has been delivered. The emperor is in a good mood. There is no need to report this small matter to the emperor, let alone make him unhappy."
With the support of the fourth batch of supplies, the risk of soldiers on the front line running out of food was avoided.
Once supplies are cut off and military morale is broken, the consequences will be very serious.
After the emperor left the court, he asked about the important information collected from all over the world.
Chao Sihai hurriedly told the situation of the Hu thieves.
"Your Majesty, the sixth wave of assassins we sent out failed again. The ruler of the Hu bandits expected that we would assassinate him at all costs and had already made all the necessary preparations."
The emperor's brows knitted tightly, "What a bunch of rubbish!"
Chao Sihai immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Send another person, and make sure to kill the ruler of the Hu bandits! Otherwise, the war will not be able to end in the short term. The longer it drags on, the greater the impact on Daxia will be!"
"Yes!" Chao Sihai immediately retreated.
"Wait!" the emperor called out, "Prince Huaiyang ordered people to transport a large amount of grain to the imperial capital. What do the people think? Have you collected any information on this?"
Although the emperor does not care about the people's will.
But he was more afraid that Prince Huaiyang would win the support of the people.
"Your Majesty, this batch of grain was originally promised to Your Majesty by Prince Huaiyang. What does it have to do with the people if it is transported all the way here?" Chao Sihai asked back with a confused look on his face.
Seeing him like this, the emperor didn't want to waste any more time talking and said, "Go and deal with the matter with the Hu bandit first."
"Yes." Chao Sihai immediately retreated.
The emperor kept his eyes on Chao Sihai until he could no longer see Chao Sihai, then he took a deep breath.
Since there was no report to the world, it means there was no reaction from the people.
……
The war in the North has been very stalemate.
Ji Chuhe was anxiously waiting for news from there every day.
She knew that it would not be possible to rely on Ming'er alone.
In addition to the spies that my father and mother had planted long ago, the original wives of the Hu thieves would also get involved for their own benefit.
As long as the Hu bandit monarch cannot resist the temptation and alienates his relationship with the beloved daughter of the Kuxin tribe, he will be able to successfully alienate the alliance of the Kuxin tribe.
Finally, Ji Chuhe waited for this result.
"Madam! There is news from the northern border! It's either a secret report or ordinary news!" Rong Song excitedly came to Ji Chuhe to report the situation.
"Tell me what the news is." Ji Chuhe said anxiously.
"The Kusi tribe that was attacking the Northern Border City suddenly withdrew its troops! When the soldiers of the Hu bandits saw that the people of the Kuxin tribe had fled, they found that they had all fled in less than an hour! The general immediately ordered the army to march out of the city, pursue the remaining soldiers of the Hu bandits, and destroyed one of their camps!"
"It seems that Ming'er succeeded!" But this success must have come at a great price.
"Logically speaking, we should have received the secret reports from the spies in advance. If we didn't, it means they must have been killed. Rong Song, find a way to contact the people over there and help me find out about Ming'er."
"Yes, ma'am." Rong Song immediately went down to make arrangements.
At this time, the emperor was holding the secret report he had received and laughing.
"Even the heavens are helping me! Chao Sihai, take a look at what's written here! In order to win over the power of the Kuxin tribe, the barbarian monarch did not hesitate to use his beauty to seduce the daughter of the Kuxin tribe leader, but he did not abide by the rules of the Kuxin tribe. He really deserves the consequences!"
"The Kuxin tribe has always been a monogamous tribe. Men and women alike must be loyal to each other. They even swear an oath with blood during their weddings! The Hu bandit monarch thought that he could cover up the fact that he was married by pretending to have lost his memory, but he didn't expect that he couldn't resist the temptation and was seduced by the woman arranged by his abandoned wife!"
Chao Sihai did not respond, but just joined the emperor in rejoicing.
"Now, the apple of Kuxin's eye has miscarried, and the child is gone. She also knows that she was deceived, and was taken back by the leader of the Kuxin tribe. The alliance between the Hu bandits and the Kuxin tribe has ended! The war will also end!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Chao Sihai immediately knelt down to congratulate.
"Get up. You have worked hard during this period." The emperor casually picked up the bracelet on the table. He picked it out from the warehouse a few days ago and he had played with it a few times.
"This is a reward for you."
Chao Sihai quickly took it with both hands, as if he was holding some rare treasure, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"
……
Ji Chuhe also returned to the imperial capital the day before New Year's Eve.
As soon as I returned to the Prince's Mansion, I saw that it was decorated with lights and decorations.
Ji Chuhe stood in the brightly lit courtyard, still thinking about the miserable conditions of the people she had seen in other county towns during this period.
The imperial capital is still the imperial capital.
There is no such miserable situation.
It's really a paradise and a hell.
