Early in the morning, Pei Jiufeng's face was gloomy, like the sky of an approaching storm.
The palace servants around were all trembling.
In the past few days, the emperor's brutal behavior has subsided a little, and no more blood was seen, but the things they did in the past left a deep shadow in their hearts, and they dare not take any chances.
After much difficulty, after serving him to change his clothes and eat his meals, and watched him go to Xuanming Palace, the palace people breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuanming Palace.
The ministers stood up and looked up to see the current sky.
Seeing that his face was much uglier than before, his heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out from the back of his neck.
In the past he was cruel and ruthless, but with his demeanor today, how many people would die
But even so, the advice is still advice!
"I implore the emperor to approve the tax reduction and exemption for the three southwest counties!"
The three counties in the southwest were hit by disasters, droughts and floods, which made the people's lives difficult. No more taxes can be collected, any more taxes will force the common people to die!
"Yeah." Surprisingly, Pei Jiufeng agreed.
The minister was surprised and looked up inquiringly. I saw the young emperor sitting lazily on the dragon chair, with half-lidded eyelids, his eyes didn't know where to look, and he couldn't find the focus.
"Is the emperor ready?" the minister asked tentatively.
"Yes." Pei Jiufeng said.
The minister raised the matter at the risk of turning around. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed, and it was so easy!
He was very surprised, but also a little helpless.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He said tremblingly.
Seeing this, the other courtiers couldn't help looking at each other.
The emperor is a little abnormal today
"Dare to ask your majesty, about the disaster relief for the disaster-stricken states and counties this year..."
Another minister tentatively said.
"Yes." Pei Jiufeng said.
Ministers: "..."
What's wrong, Your Majesty? Absently
Although I didn't pay attention in the past, I would listen to them anyway. I didn’t even listen to it today, what happened
Pei Jiufeng was just annoying.
The dream last night made him very unhappy.
Someone actually beat him and even hit him on the head with a shoe worn by stinky feet!
Even though it was a dream, he hadn't been hit on the head in real life, but the dream was too clear, no different from reality, how could he let go of it? !
He was upset about this matter, so he was careless in court. Whatever the ministers said, he said "hmm", he dealt with it indiscriminately, and then went down.
Back in the living palace, there is a neatly cut, smooth and solid bluestone floor under your feet, which is completely different from the small, dark, potholed dirt floor in the dream.
Like the difference between heaven and earth.
When the lunch was served, there were 108 dishes, both meat and vegetables, including things that fly in the sky, things that run on the ground, and things that swim in the water. They were carefully cooked by the imperial chef, and they were all delicious in color, fragrance and taste.
Pei Jiufeng couldn't help but think of the rotten vegetable leaves and radish sticks in the basket carried by the rough girl in the dream.
And the half bowl of porridge that was snatched from him.
My stomach suddenly became hungry.
He ate with chopsticks and ate half a bowl more than usual.
His stomach was full, and his mood immediately improved a little.
It was just a dream.
No matter how hard the haunted monster tried, he could only lure him into a dream. As long as he doesn't give in, what can the demon do to him
Because of this, he was in a good mood.
He can be an emperor if he wants to be an emperor.
How he wants to govern the world, he governs the world.
Who can do anything to him
Thinking of all the things he experienced when he was young, disgust and indifference flashed across his eyes.
This world is extremely dirty, people are vicious, and it is full of mud and blood. It should be overturned as soon as possible!
No one deserves laughter!
He never laughed, no one can laugh!
Accompany him to suffer in hell!
The hatred in his eyes was almost overflowing.
How the people live has nothing to do with him!
That monster wants him to regret, wants him to know how to go astray, recognize the hardships of the people and work hard to heal them, it is simply whimsical!
Pride and chance appeared in his eyes, and he walked into the bed curtain with pride, closed his eyes as if expecting victory, and waited for the dream to come.
He was not disappointed.
After he closed his eyes, he fell asleep again.
"...I told you to eat it quickly, but you refused to eat it. Who is walking on the street with half a bowl of white porridge? You are also a fool." The girl's muttering voice came from beside her ear.
Pei Jiufeng took a closer look and found that he was walking on the street. Having already passed it once, he immediately recognized that this was the way home.
He has been smart since he was a child, and he only needs to walk through it once, and he can remember how many shops there are on this street and their names.
He didn't speak.
Feel the humming in the head and ears, and the sore nose.
The sloppy man slapped him hard, the clear and real pain made his heart burst with hatred, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
His thin fists were clenched tightly, and killing intent gushed out of his body.
"Tell me, it's fine if you get robbed, how can you fight him? How can you beat him?" In the ear, the girl was still muttering, "Look at this bag, I don't know how many days it will hurt! Clothes It's also full of blood..."
Pei Jiufeng frowned when he heard that, and looked down, his brows were frowned in an instant, and he was about to tear off his clothes almost instantly!
Dirty to death!
He didn't pay attention to it before, but now he realizes that the clothes are so dirty that they haven't been washed for an unknown amount of time, and now there is a lot of nosebleeds dripping from them!
vomit!
Pei Jiufeng's throat rolled a few times, and he almost vomited in the street.
Anger and nausea made his hands tremble, and he wanted to tear off the dirty clothes immediately, but he didn't want to be disrespectful in the street, so he struggled endlessly.
"You're so stupid! Why are you so stupid! You could eat a half-full meal, but it's plain porridge. Mr. Wang is kind, and the porridge he boiled is very thick. It can still make you hungry for most of the day..." The girl was still babbling. Non-stop, Pei Jiufeng couldn't take it anymore, and ran home!
As soon as I got home, I immediately tore off my coat and threw it far away!
"What's the matter?" The girl then entered the door and saw that he was naked and trembling with anger, with a look of surprise on his face, and then said: "It's just right, you washed the clothes, I'll go out and find something to do."
Wash the bowls that have eaten porridge, stack them together, and put them on the stove.
After wiping his hands, he went out.
"Give me a wash!" Pei Jiufeng ordered.
The girl came over and shaved his head: "I'll wash it for you, why don't you go out and find something to do? If you don't do anything, what will we have for dinner?"
After finishing speaking, I ignored him, scooped up water to wash my face, and went out: "Wash your clothes, don't go anywhere, wait until I come back."
With a "squeak", the door was opened and closed, and the sound of the girl's footsteps disappeared.
Pei Jiufeng glanced coldly, then looked away, without even looking at the dirty clothes on the ground.
He wants to go out, his legs are growing on his body, no one can control him. However, the family was so poor that they didn't even have a middle coat. After he took off his outer shirt, he was bare upper body. Being seen by the girl, and even annoyed for a while, it is absolutely unacceptable to just go out and be seen by others.
Go into the house and rummage through clothes.
All I found was a gown and trousers worn by a seven or eight-year-old boy, which were so full of patches that he couldn't get them in at all.
There is also a short old thin cotton coat.
Pei Jiufeng: "..."
This family is so impoverished that they don't even have clothes to go out with! He was depressed for a long time, so he sat in the house and waited for the girl to come back.
Want him to do the laundry? There are no doors!
That monster pulled him into a dream, so let him!
He wanted to see what was waiting for him next!
Anyway, he doesn't need to support the family, and the girl named Dachun suffers any hardships, and he only considers himself a passerby.
However, after a quarter of an hour, he couldn't sit still.
Because of the cold.
It was autumn, and he was sitting in the house wearing only a pair of trousers, it was very cold. Moreover, his body is skinny and skinny, and he has no ability to resist cold at all.
His face darkened, he stood up, walked into the yard, and started punching!
It's not cold when you move!
This is his experience.
With murderous intent in his eyes, he will find revenge on the sloppy man sooner or later!
What about the dream? So what if it's fake? No one can take advantage of him!
After only a quarter of an hour, Pei Jiufeng's movements slowed down, and he was out of breath, his hands and feet were as soft as vinegar.
He didn't eat a few meals, and he didn't have any strength in his body. Staggering, he stopped, his face full of resentment and resentment. He secretly decided that after waking up again this time, he would go to find a Taoist with profound mana and take that monster away!
No amount of dissatisfaction, no amount of resentment, no amount of resolute heart can withstand hunger and cold.
As he stopped punching, the heat on his body gradually dissipated, and the cold doubled, making him shiver uncontrollably.
He had tasted this cold feeling when he was young.
Someone poured water on his quilt, leaving him without a quilt in winter, so he could only wear one piece of clothing and curl up on the bed to resist the cold.
He hates the cold very much.
Therefore, he also hates the demon who brings him cold.
But it was impossible for him to put on a short old cotton coat and a thin quilt that smelled of damp.
He endured the cold and sat back in the house.
After half an hour.
The sun began to set in the west, but the girl hadn't come back yet.
Pei Jiufeng sat on the wooden bench, feeling cold, hungry, tired, and in pain. He wished he could faint, but the damn thing was that he couldn't.
After all, I couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and walked around.
As he walked around, the feeling of coldness all over his body eased a bit, but the feeling of hunger became stronger, so he didn't want to move at all.
His eyes were green with hunger, and the meals he had eaten during the day floated before his eyes. Thinking about those delicious meals, he unconsciously secreted saliva, and his stomach became even more hungry, and he was so cramped that he couldn't straighten his back.
In the evening, with a "squeak", the girl Dachun came back.
Humming a happy tune, it seems that I have gained a lot.
"Big root!" she barked the door and called, "Look what I brought back!"
No one responded to her.
She walked in suspiciously, and called, "Dagen?"
When I entered the main room, I still saw no one. Sweeping his gaze over the bed, he saw a bulge and raised his eyebrows.
"Big root?" She walked over in two steps in three steps, pushing the person on the bed, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong?"
The skinny boy curled up into a ball, wrapped himself in the thin quilt, and bit the corner of the quilt in his mouth, Shaoyin didn't pull it out.
Do not eat this or that, and now you are so hungry that you are biting the quilt
She snorted inwardly, with no flaws on her face, she was still the elder sister who cared about her younger brother: "Da Gen? Wake up? Are you starving? I brought back corn bread!"
After being shaken a few times by her, Pei Jiufeng finally woke up.
Eyes opened, full of displeasure.
He was just dreaming that he was eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and he was woken up by her just like that.
"What?" He had a headache, his ears were buzzing, his throat was dry and sore, and his stomach was throbbing with hunger, he said in a hoarse voice.
Shaoyin took out the two cornbreads and shook them at him: "I wash clothes for others. After washing for a long time, they gave me two cornbreads."
Take out one and give it to him: "Eat it."
Pei Jiufeng stared at the miscellaneous grain steamed bread, only to feel an unusually sweet smell entering the tip of his nose, and a large amount of saliva was secreted uncontrollably from his mouth.
He grabbed the cornbread with his hands and devoured it!
No trace of refinement or pickiness.
Eating fast and fierce.
