Wei and Jin cooks

She stepped forward and wiped away the remaining half of the thatch, revealing the eyes behind the thatch.

It was a child who looked to be only five or six years old, but Zhao Hanzhang guessed that he was actually older and was only so thin because of hunger.

His eyes were wide and his head was big compared to his body.

His body was very small, with very small hands and feet. There was only a thin layer of skin sticking to the bones. There were spots on his body. He must have been dead for a while.

Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand and closed his eyes. Because he had moved the body, his body tilted and his whole head dropped to the side. However, the unclear stem he was holding in his hand was firmly held in his hand. There were words on it. The teeth mark must be a bite.

Zhao Hanzhang tried hard twice but couldn't get the things out for him, so she had no choice but to give up.

Seeing that she hadn't come out for a long time, Fu Tinghan couldn't help but come in in person. When he saw the little body with its whole body nestled in the corner, he was stunned for a moment and then stepped forward to check.

After a while, he whispered: "There is no foreign object in the throat and no external injuries on the body. He must have died of starvation."

Even with food in hand, he still starved to death. Perhaps it was too late when he found the tuber, and the bite he took failed to prevent his death, and he didn't have time to take another bite.

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were burning, and he tilted his head slightly, holding back the tears in his eyes before bending down to take the child out.

When Zeng Yue saw it, he immediately asked people to dig a hole. Then he led his personal guards who had just entered the house to investigate and knelt on the ground, begging Zhao Hanzhang to punish him.

The road was cold and the people died of hunger for thousands of miles. In the past two years, they had seen many dead people on the road. Not to mention the distance, corpses lying on the ground and bones scattered in the fields were common along the way.

Because there were so many, they would not look sideways unless they stopped to rest, let alone dig holes to bury people.

But this room was where the Lord's curtains were kept, and they didn't realize there was a corpse in the room. This was a dereliction of duty on their part.

Zhao Hanzhang did not intend to forgive. She gently put the child on the ground and said coldly: "Go back to Luoyang and go to the army to receive the punishment."

Zeng Yue lowered his head and responded: "Yes."

Wei Jie stood in front of the door and watched quietly. When he saw Zhao Hanzhang personally holding the soil and burying the body, he moved his eyes to Fu Tinghan, who was standing beside her.

Fu Tinghan was standing in a daze, his lips pursed tightly, and the breath around him was a bit cold.

He has not seen many dead people in the past three years, and has seen many poor people, but he has never been as angry and powerless as he is now.

"You said that the world belongs to the people of the world. Jin does not have the talent and virtue to continue to own this world, so if possible, you don't have to listen to my grandfather's words. I will explain and bear the promise I made to him before."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his head and glanced at him, then responded in a low voice: "I know, but it's just not the time yet, and it won't be for many years to come."

Accumulate food widely and slowly become king.

Her top priority now is internal governance and military training to accumulate enough strength.

Zhao Hanzhang piled a small grave for the child, but unfortunately he didn't know his name, so there wasn't even a wooden sign.

Zhao Hanzhang bowed deeply, turned around and looked at Wei Jie who was standing at the door. Wei Jie nodded to her and turned around to enter the house.

Wang Yu quickly followed and saw Wei Jie sitting down cross-legged by the fire again with a calm expression on his face. He was a little anxious, "Didn't you hear what Fu Tinghan said just now?"

Wei Jie nodded and said calmly: "I heard it."

"What does he mean when you are so indifferent after hearing about it? What does it mean that the world belongs to the people of the world, and Jin has no talent and virtue to continue to own this world?" Wang Yu was a little anxious and turned around: "Zhao Hanzhang also saw us, what do you mean? Will she kill us to silence us?"

Wei Jie raised his head and gave him a strange look, and said: "Cousin, we came to Yuzhou to seek refuge with Zhao Hanzhang. She also accepted us. We have the same interests. Why does she want to silence us?"

Wang Yu was stunned and said: "We have taken refuge with her, but there is an emperor above her. Now that they are against her, isn't she afraid that we will tell the truth? What if she is worried that we will tell the truth, so she kills us to silence us?"

Wei Jie said nonchalantly: "If we go to report the matter, will the emperor believe it? Do you believe that he will send troops to attack Zhao Hanzhang in the future and break up with her?"

Of course not. The emperor's current military strength is not worth mentioning. He still has to rely on Gou Xi. Even if Gou Xi sends troops in the emperor's name to fight Zhao Hanzhang, it is not certain who will lose and who will win.

Perhaps in order to appease Zhao Hanzhang's anger, the emperor had him beheaded for informing him and gave his head to Zhao Hanzhang to seek peace.

Wang Yu instantly slumped his shoulders, waved his hands feebly and said: "It's okay, let's warm ourselves by the fire."

Wei Jie withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Besides, what Fu Tinghan said is right. Jin indeed has no talent or virtue to continue to dominate the world."

Wang Yu never knew that this immortal cousin would have such thoughts. He opened his mouth wide for a moment and looked at him at a loss.

Wei Jie was very calm and said: "There are many people in the world who think like me. The world is in chaos. From Emperor Wu to the present, countless noble families have been killed. Many people are accustomed to not talking about state affairs, but the swords in this world I can stop my words, but I cannot stop my thoughts.”

"I think there are still many people in this world who are thinking about how to save the country, and want to save the building from collapse. This building is not the Jin Dynasty, but all the people of the world, and I am the great China."

Wang Yu looked at him in surprise, "I, I thought my cousin only had profound insights in casual conversation. I didn't expect you... to think about these chores."

Wei Jie lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Zhao Hanzhang stepped in and said: "It was only in the decades of the Jin Dynasty that major events concerning the world became chores. Who would have classified the world's general affairs and government affairs as chores before?"

Wang Yu was startled, his neck shrunk, and he lowered his head subconsciously.

She heard everything, and these were all her own. Zhao Hanzhang did not hide her ambition. She sat down by the fire, looked up at Wang Yu who was bowing her head and feeling guilty, and said: "When Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang What he talked about was the general trend of the world. Cao Gong was able to stabilize the world because the advisers around him talked to him about national affairs. Like today's celebrities, they classified serious government affairs into secular affairs and miscellaneous affairs. The world was completely established as early as the Later Han Dynasty. It fell apart.”

Wang Yu felt a little ashamed when he heard this.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I don't care how you look in front of the emperor, General Gou and others, but under my rule, you will pursue your own affairs in your position. If you cannot fulfill your due responsibilities in your position, you should go home and farm as soon as possible." , make room for the capable to take the lead.”

Wei Jie bowed slightly and said yes. Only then did Wang Yu come back to his senses and quickly bowed down to agree.

Zhao Hanzhang was then satisfied and ordered: "Speed ​​up tomorrow and try to reach Luoyang before dark."

Everyone responded.

In the other half of the room, Zhao Hu, who had laid down and then sat up, glanced at his son, then turned to Zhao Zheng and said, "Zheng'er, from now on, you can serve your third sister more often, don't run out all the time, okay?"

Zhao Zheng didn't know why his grandfather said this, but he still agreed.

Zhao Cheng frowned and glanced at his father, because Zhao Hanzhang and others were sitting not far away, and he did not want to argue with his father over the education of his children in front of outsiders.

I couldn't complete the task today because I had a bit of a rough day today. I have to work hard to get back to normal tomorrow. It's very late. Let's go to bed first. Good night.
