When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Originally, because the disaster victims had no food, the problem was quite urgent, and King Dongshan was worried about food all day long.

Now that he has enough food, he doesn't have to worry about the victims going hungry for a while.

The strange feelings that he had been deliberately suppressing in his heart during this period of time could not help but come out.

For example: His token as King of Dongshan was specially made for him by the emperor. In order to allocate grain, he took out the token that had many privileges, but in the end he didn't see a single grain of grain.

And the people he sent out also disappeared.

If you say there is nothing fishy going on here, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

He also personally sent several letters to the court asking for help, but now more than ten days have passed and there has been no response at all!

Ha ha!

He felt as if he was suddenly isolated from the imperial court, with everyone standing not far away, watching him in silence, unable to turn to anyone for help.

This feeling of powerlessness appeared the same time he was ambushed and strangled last time.

King Dongshan sat in his study with a piece of letter paper in front of him, but he didn't write a single word for a long time!

It seems like there is a lot of grievances but nowhere to seek redress.

After all, he is still that child in the deep palace who has no roots, no one to protect him, and can only fend for himself and grow up wildly.

Without knowing when, he seemed to have become that poor little thing who could be abandoned at any time.

King Dongshan suddenly felt tired and bored! It was so boring!

He picked up a pen and wrote a letter to the emperor. There was no reply to his letter asking for help, so he didn't have much hope for this letter. However, he was angry, so he wrote it anyway.

My brother, please read this:

I have sent three letters asking for help to the court and my elder brother respectively, and even used the secret guards of the Ministry of Personnel to deliver the letters, but I was unable to do so because the disaster victims from Yingzhou gathered in Dan County.

In order to prevent the disaster victims from entering the capital, my brother strictly ordered the magistrate of Dan County to open the granaries and distribute grain and porridge.

However, Dan County is small and has only a small grain warehouse with limited grain storage capacity.

They were given two meals of thin porridge every day, but within ten days, the food was gone.

The transfer letters I sent to nearby counties and prefectures have all fallen on deaf ears, with no response and no one who delivered the messages has returned to report.

The magistrate of Tan County had no choice but to use all the bran, broken rice and other items to provide porridge. He struggled to hold on for a few more days, but still did not receive a single grain of relief food from the imperial court or nearby prefectures.

My brother was heartbroken and wept bitterly, while thousands of hungry people were waiting outside the city of Tan County.

I really don't know what I have done wrong to be abandoned by my elder brother and the court!

If I have made any mistake, you may punish me, but please do not bring harm to the victims outside the city who have lost their homes, and do not implicate Magistrate Tang who has been running around, and this impoverished Dan County.

I have had little knowledge and am not very smart since childhood. I hope you can tell me where I went wrong.

I know that my abilities are limited, so I would like to resign from the position of Sidian. If I am lucky enough to survive this time, I will reflect on my mistakes and never step out of the house again.

Written by my younger brother

He wanted to ask Mu Feng to give the letter to the secret guard to send it away, but he swallowed the words back. He sealed the letter and put it in his sleeve pocket.

Mu Feng followed him out of the door, and the two of them strolled around the county government office.

With food, the victims stopped making trouble. Although they still couldn't eat enough, at least they wouldn't starve to death.

There are many disputes when there are many people. There are fights and disturbances every day. The yamen runners usually do not care unless they are alarmed.

Or only when someone has died will the bailiffs come to arrest him.

King Dongshan was originally worried about the victims, but now he suddenly came to his senses.

He is just a prince, not the emperor. Worrying too much will only annoy people.

It is better for him to stay out of matters that are not his business.

There are many people in the court who receive salaries, and they are not all dead, so there is no need for him to worry about everything.

Thinking of this, he no longer felt that heavy feeling in his heart whenever he saw the victims.

Sure enough, he was just asking for trouble in the past!

He just had to make sure that the victims stayed here obediently and didn't starve to death before the imperial court arrived.

Everything else, whether it’s the resettlement of disaster victims, the transfer of personnel, or the inspection of guilty officials, is none of his business!

In the past, he always wanted to help his royal brother more, but now it seems that some people think he is getting in the way.

The delay in the arrival of relief food this time may have been a lesson and a warning to him.

Haha! The means are really cruel!

This kind of behavior of not caring about the life and death of others really has the flavor of the work of an old aristocratic family.

King Dongshan walked around as usual, and sent Mu Feng away to buy something for him. He casually gave a few candies to a child on the street.

This child was the son of a janitor at the county government office. He saw him every day and was quite familiar with him.

The child was not polite at all. He put a piece of the candy into his mouth as soon as he got it, and let the candy roll around in his mouth with a smacking sound. The more it rolled, the faster it melted, and the sweeter his mouth felt.

King Dongshan handed him a letter and asked him to help deliver it to the post station.

The child skipped away with the letter.

Mu Feng bought what the prince wanted, and saw from afar that the prince was still standing there waiting for him, so he trotted over.

King Dongshan put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "It's not urgent, why are you running?"

Mu Feng: "Everyone has been sent out. I am worried that there is no one around you."

Prince Dongshan sneered: "What kind of trouble could possibly happen at the government gate? It's useless to worry about it."

Mu Feng seemed to be talking to himself: "They should be back by now. Even if they didn't accomplish their mission, they don't need to run away, right?"

King Dongshan looked up at the sky and replied casually: "Who knows!"

Before, he was worried and thought of all kinds of possibilities, but now... he is calm.

Secret guards are different from bodyguards. They used to be the most strict in rules and it is impossible for them to just not come back if they want to.

Mu Feng was originally a secret guard, so he naturally knew the circumstances when the secret guards were performing their missions.

This time the secret guards did not return collectively, and he also noticed something strange.

However, the prince's seemingly indifferent attitude now forced him to suppress all his doubts and stop thinking about it.

They had not taken a few steps when the messenger boy came running back.

Dan County is too small, and the post station is near the government office. The King of the Far East Mountain would not be willing to let a child go there.

When the child came back, there was only one candy left in his hand.

King Dongshan laughed and said, "You eat really fast, aren't you afraid of damaging your teeth?"

The child held a candy in his mouth and gave a shy yet ingratiating smile.

King Dongshan shook his head. Children could not resist the temptation of candy. He took out the last few candies from his sleeve and gave them to the child since he was in a good mood.

The child took the candy and ran away.

Mu Feng: "He must be afraid of being seen by his father, so he found a place to hide and eat candy."

King Dongshan nodded: "It's possible. I'll tell his father about it when I see him. Let this kid experience what it means to be evil."

Mu Feng was stunned: "Your Highness, this is not kind." Isn't it too immoral to do this to a child?

Prince: "His father didn't give him candy because it was for his own good. I clearly have good intentions."

Mu Feng: Come on, it’s obvious that you have bad intentions.

Alas! Sure enough, when I saw the child again at night, he had already been punished by his father.

She cried so loudly.
