This Overlord Doesn’t Care About Anything

Chapter 249: 53. It's still the old year

Views:

When Alaiya and I were living a leisurely life in Xuanqing Palace, the situation outside actually changed quite quickly.

First of all, the king asked people from Jinyiwei to investigate Tianyue Mountain.

There is no risk of people in Jinyiwei being killed and silenced. Some people dare to assassinate me, but no one dares to touch people in Jinyiwei. On the one hand, it is His Majesty's pro-army, and no one dares to break ground on Tai Sui Ye. On the other hand, it's also because they really can't beat them. The per capita is above nine levels. Walking on the street is completely the number one male group in Eternal Heaven. Anyone who sees them has to give way.

Jin Yiwei also reported the matter of Tianyue Mountain to the king truthfully.

The specific content of the report mainly includes the following aspects:

First, the people of Tianyue Mountain are really miserable now. It is conservatively estimated that more than one-fifth of the 300,000 people died. After this year, it is estimated that there will be more than a hundred thousand left. The vast majority of people do not have enough food and clothing to keep warm, and there have even appeared "snow mountain ghouls", also known as "snow mountain ghouls", which feed on the flesh of the dead. To be honest, although eating can't kill people, when this happens in a group, it will cause a great panic.

Second, the surrounding cities refused to accept the refugees from Tianyue Mountain, and forcibly trapped these people to death in the mountain. Tianyue Mountain is very large, with continuous ups and downs, it is a natural barrier to the west of the capital. But now there are corpses all over the field, and the corpses are buried in heavy snow. This year is fine, but next spring, a plague will definitely break out, and it may even affect the capital.

Third, a large number of people reported that they were forcibly driven out by soldiers. Those soldiers confiscated a large part of their property, and they were not allowed to ask for it. They almost let them leave the house, so that they had nowhere to go go. Most of these soldiers and the small leaders who command them are under the command of certain [Ten Generals]. Especially Graham, one of the [Ten Generals], the people under his command can be said to have made a lot of money for the country and made a lot of money.

Fourth, so far, all the people have not received a single bit of relief supplies, except for the porridge that is given out once every few days. There must be a mountain there to sit and eat, and they don't even have a mountain, so it is true that one group will die in one day, and many groups will die in many days.

Jin Yiwei's report is very realistic, but I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved until next year, or it will be too late.

After hearing this report, the king also took the most sensible approach.

Secretly detain Tamrose, Grame and others, and at the same time mobilize funds from the treasury, quickly purchase emergency supplies and send them to Tianyue Mountain. The hands of ten generals.

In fact, the king's thoughts are not difficult to guess. He originally wanted to cover the cover, but suddenly found that he couldn't cover it, so he had to hurry up and get the job done, so as not to lose face too much. I heard that he called the remaining ministers, including Wu Mi and Jin Ling, into the main hall, and yelled:

"You guys, to put it bluntly, are all begging for a bite of food from this king. Don't you understand the principle of thinking of the source when drinking water? When something happens, it's just a fight between your own family members and your own family members. Don't expose your family's ugliness. It's good for you, One by one, in order to bring down the other party, you will talk about everything. I am afraid that the whole world will not know the good deeds you have done!! Among you, which one is greedy for money is not greedy, and which one is greedy for fame is not famous. Don’t you know if you are the king? It’s good now, unite with people outside, and want to make a fuss in front of the king. This is your courtier of the eternal heaven kingdom? Do you want me to just give up the position under the buttocks and let you sit up and give orders? ?”

It is said that this time, the king was very angry.

Perhaps he originally thought that when the city lords came to the capital to celebrate the new year, the ministers would definitely help him cover up the matter. But he didn't expect that these ministers were just pretending to cover up in front of him, but behind their backs they explained everything to those city lords clearly.

But this is no wonder the ministers. Ministers who want to provoke troubles will always strive for the strength around them as much as possible, and poke a hole in this dark cloud that covers the sky, so that the sun can fill the world and bring a little warmth. The strength of these people is too small, and they can only use external forces to break the deadlock here. In this way, those people who are guilty of thieves must also take out their interests to fight for the city lords, so as to ensure that they will always hold down the other side and immediately invincible. Come and go, nothing can be hidden.

Tamrose and Graeme were only temporarily held and there were no formal convictions. On the one hand, their identities are here, and it will take a lot of time to interrogate them. On the other hand, the city lords are all watching here, and the king is unwilling to let them watch his jokes.

However, from the testimonies they confessed, it can be clearly seen that this matter is no longer just a struggle between the ministers, but has risen to a struggle between the two princes.

Chaowang and Xiwang.

I was actually curious about why they have such titles, but after asking, I found out that the two princes are half-brothers born on the same day. It's just that Chao Wang was born in the morning, and Xi Wang was born in the evening. In this struggle in the royal capital, Chaowang was actually kept out of the matter, and the investigation was clean, and there was basically no evidence that he participated in it. However, King Xi had a bad record. He used this conflict to stir up trouble in the court, trying to wipe out the side that supported his brother.

This matter has been found out on the prince's head, and many things cannot be deduced with common sense.

It's just that the king made a promise in public after all: Even if the prisoner is his own son, he will deal with it according to law.

So the king took Jin Yiwei to meet King Xi.

But Xi Wang just ran madly in his palace, surrounded by several royal relatives, everyone was helpless.

No one knows whether he is really crazy or just pretending to be crazy. In short, the imperial physician gave King Xi his pulse and announced in public that he was suffering from insanity. Set aside some people to surround Prince Xi's mansion, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave, and Prince Xi is not allowed to go out by himself.

It is equivalent to shutting down King Xi's confinement.

These things basically happened within today. In just one day, the situation in the capital changed drastically. As of late today, King Xi was locked up, and the commotion seemed to have finally calmed down. , one of the ten officials and ten generals was arrested. Although it is not known how many people will be involved in the follow-up, it is expected that too many people will be involved. The major incidents have been reduced to minor ones, and there is a high probability that the remaining ones will be able to survive.

Congratulations, joy and congratulations.

When Baihuang told me this, it happened to be at the end of the day. A new day comes soon, like a book turning a new page. But this new day is still not New Year's Eve, it's New Year's Eve.

According to legend, it is a day when the Nian beast is rampant and the world keeps watch.
