The complete real world is somewhat different from the thin novel plot. Many details that are ignored in the plot will be supplemented and refined by the world as it develops.
In order to avoid mistakes in some details, Chu Yunsheng learned from Di Yan's words about the power in the hands of the regent and the current situation.
It can be said that the top priority of the entire Jin Dynasty at the moment is the one that was discussed in the previous court today. Chu Yunsheng analyzed it and found that so far this matter is irreversible.
From top to bottom in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, all were peacemakers, and there was almost no war-fighting faction. Anyone who stood up at this time and said that they would refuse to negotiate peace and continue to fight would definitely be drowned by the spittle of all the officials and the common people.
The silverfish in the court didn't want to fight, and the reason was very simple, that is, why bother the people and waste money when they can make peace with others? In particular, this damaged wealth is likely to become his own private wealth. Moreover, there are too few capable generals in Dajin, and they are entangled with Da Zhou, but they have not been able to win an overwhelming victory for several years, which makes everyone tired.
As for people not wanting to fight, the reason is even simpler.
When there is no war on weekdays, if you have to hand over half of your family property, then if you start a war, you may be ruined. The treasury has no money, officials are unwilling to pay, and businessmen rely on noble families, so who will pay for the war? Naturally, there are idiots who have nowhere to talk about suffering.
The knife scraped on the flesh and blood layer by layer, and no one wanted to continue to suffer from the pain.
What's more, many ordinary people have not necessarily left their hometowns in their lives. They are ignorant about the outside world, and they don't know much about wars and borders. What are the scenarios and what they mean. They just want to eat and clothe themselves, and they don't care about the other day.
In this way, the main war faction is untenable whether it is in the court or in the people.
And the most important thing is that Da Jin really can't beat Da Zhou right now.
Instead of wasting it, it is better to compromise with humility first. It's just that this compromise can't be too long, otherwise, it will become a natural habit, and it will become a stubborn bone over time.
The next day was Xiu Mu, and without going to court, Chu Yunsheng thought about going outside for a walk.
He has only seen the appearance of ancient China in some very long-term documents, and he has never seen it before. And if you want to truly understand an era and a country, the best way is to go into the people and see.
Chu Yunsheng changed into very ordinary fine cloth clothes, tied his long hair with a cloth strip, and took Di Yan out.
"Brother, at the end of this street, there is a bun shop that tastes good. In the morning, many people often line up to buy buns."
The morning light was faint, and the windows facing the street were propped up, and the fragrance of rice wafted along the long street with the lingering smoke.
There was still unmelted snow on the street, which was trampled firmly and smoothly by pedestrians. Some hawkers carrying poles and hurried carriages broke through the morning fog, adding a bit of popularity to the cold and quiet morning in the deep winter.
Di Yan followed Chu Yunsheng forward, thinking about how to lead his own noble prince, who is not human, to have breakfast.
But it didn't take much for him to speak. When Chu Yunsheng reached the end of the street, he naturally stood in the line of people and chatted with an old aunt who was covered in patches.
"It's a good old saying, the capital is big, it's not easy to live in! How can we ordinary people come from the ability to live in the city. This is the city gate opened early, come in to make a living..."
"Harvest? Natural disasters... How can there be any harvest. With such a small handful of rice, the whole family has a dozen mouths, and they live on this. This old Xu family's steamed buns, if it weren't for my dear grandson, I was really greedy. Panic, where am I willing to…"
"Little baby, a wind chill can kill you..."
It was the old aunt's turn in the queue. She squinted and opened the cloth bag, carefully counted out two copper plates, bought a vegetable bun, wrapped it in oil paper, put it in a ragged jacket, and walked slowly away on the snow. .
"Big brother, if you pity her, why don't you..." Di Yan looked at Chu Yunsheng's expression and whispered.
"Ten buns." Chu Yun said.
"Hey, good!"
Li Suo, who sold the steamed buns, packed them, and Di Yan was busy paying.
After paying for the buns, Di Yan turned his head and saw Chu Yunsheng turned and walked in another direction, so he hurriedly chased after him: "Big brother, buns."
Chu Yunsheng took a steamed bun, and he didn't care about the cold wind blowing his mouth, so he tore off the oil paper and bit into it.
Di Yan looked around, not knowing where Chu Yunsheng was going. It wasn't until he saw the tall gate of the capital from a distance that Di Yan suddenly said, "Brother, are you going out of the city? There is no official road outside the city, so I'll find a carriage."
"Let's go out of the city and take a look at the city gate."
After Chu Yunsheng finished eating a bun, he glanced at the city gate where people came and went.
This is the west gate of the capital, the most prosperous side of the city gate.
Many carriages are very luxurious, most of them belong to some noble children who go out to enjoy the snow, and the roar of laughter and laughter floats from the carriage house far away.
He passed through the city gate among the crowd. There was still snow on the official road outside, and the trees on both sides were covered in frost and white.
Chu Yunsheng walked not far along the root of the city wall, and saw a frozen body clinging tightly to the city wall.
These corpses vary in age, their clothes are tattered and dirty, their bodies are covered with snowflakes, and their faces are already pale. There are no beggars in the capital, not because everyone is rich, but because all the beggars died outside the city. The singing and dancing in the city leveled off, and outside the city walls, there was only mourning and groaning.
Di Yan stood behind Chu Yunsheng and stopped talking.
Chu Yunsheng looked at the corpses one by one, brushed away the ice and snow, and checked the pulse. Some were frozen to death for several days, and some were in the past two days.
The city gate was splashed with snow, and several young masters galloped on their horses. In the distance, there were red plums in the mountains. The porters, holding the hot money, went up and down the steep mountain road again and again for the vegetables, fruits, wine and meat of the poetry festival.
A city gate, living a world of different people.
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
Living in prosperity for a long time, I thought that the world was full of prosperity. Even if he opened his eyes occasionally and saw the dazzling truth, he also deceived himself that it was false.
This is wrong.
But how to correct these mistakes is a difficult task.
During the day, Chu Yunsheng and Di Yan walked all over the streets and alleys of the capital and the official roads outside the city. In the past, these things were not absent or invisible, but no one cared.
"The palace can help one person, ten people, and a hundred people, but how can we help people in the world?" Chu Yunsheng closed his eyes, "Okay, don't make a sound, open the granary in the palace, and go outside the city. Save some people. In two days, the family's porridge shop should open."
Di Yan was surprised: "Those noble families would be so kind, opening porridge shops and making porridge? In the past, they have never done anything other than bribing people's hearts."
Chu Yunsheng smiled: "It's time to buy people's hearts again."
Di Yan was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes, my lord."
Changing a city and changing a country does not happen overnight.
After Chu Yunsheng strolled down this day, the stone in his heart became heavier and heavier, and the whole person was a little low.
He sat in the study all night, and when he had planned everything in the future, the sky was already dimly lit up.
After washing, he woke up, Chu Yunsheng called Di Yan in while changing his court clothes, and ordered the backlog of things on his desk: "Let people copy a few more of these things, ask someone to find them, and report them immediately when they are found."
"The canyon behind the East Woodland has been converted into a camp, and a group of old blacksmiths are privately dispatched from the surrounding counties."
"Check the Anyuan Marquis Mansion and pay more attention to the Zhenbei General Mansion."
"The expenses in the house are based on the plan on paper. After the western courtyard is cleared, it will be converted into two pharmacies..."
Following the same orders, Di Yan was a little dazzled and confused.
But he knew the importance, and he was used to seeing some of Chu Yunsheng's whim, so he didn't ask more questions, didn't dare to delay, and arranged it right away.
Chu Yunsheng was also fortunate that although the original body was ordinary, the trusted cronies he left behind were really useful.
If there are no available people around, he has to be more careful about many things, and it is inevitable that he will be tied.
As soon as he got busy, he hadn't seen the little emperor for nearly two days. Chu Yunsheng couldn't say anything, but he still thought about the little wolf cub in his heart.
After packing up and stepping on the carriage to go to court, Chu Yunsheng couldn't wait to walk towards the Taiji Temple.
However, Lu Fenglou deserves to be a dazed ruler who has been fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. Chu Yunsheng sat on a chair in the Taiji Hall and waited for a full quarter of an hour before he came to ask Deman who was sweating: "My lords, Your Majesty is not feeling well, I will go to the morning today... that's all, everyone, let's go to the court."

There was a buzzing sound of discussion in the Taiji Hall, and the ministers made no secret of their disappointment, whispering to each other and exchanging glances.
"Prince Da Zhou is about to arrive. I am afraid that the details of the peace talks cannot be discussed in these court meetings, and His Majesty has stopped the court!"
"I heard that it was in the harem last night, and the king didn't go to court early..."
Chu Yunsheng closed his eyes halfway, sat on the chair and listened to the rambling remarks in his ears, but he didn't pay any attention, got up and waved at Wende.
The old eunuch Wende immediately trotted over: "My lord."
Chu Yunsheng left the Taiji Hall and walked straight to the Zhaoyang Hall: "Why did the emperor stop the court today?"
Wende followed behind Chu Yunsheng and hesitated, "Your Majesty said that he was not feeling well, but the imperial doctor visited, but he didn't seem to diagnose anything, so he was kicked out of Zhaoyang Palace."
Chu Yunsheng glanced at Wende and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, we arrived at Zhaoyang Hall.
Chu Yunsheng was rude, pushed the door open and went in, bypassing the screen, and saw Lu Fenglou lying on the couch with his eyes closed and sleeping.
At first glance, Lu Fenglou's face was indeed a little sickly pale, and his usual rosy lips were a little greener, and his black hair fell on his cheeks, which made his face look rather morbidly beautiful.
Chu Yunsheng waved away the palace servants in the palace, pulled a chair to sit on the edge of the couch, stared at Lu Fenglou for a moment, then leaned slightly, his eyes slid down, and landed on the pillow covered by Lu Fenglou's hair. .
Under the pillow, a corner of the page was exposed.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Chu Yunsheng reached out and pulled the page out.
Without much effort, he pulled out an erotic palace map full of Longyang's eroticism. The slap is big, but the production is excellent, and the expressions of the characters are vividly drawn.
Chu Yunsheng flipped through it casually, then carried the erotic palace map to the brazier, unfolded the pages, and with a screeching sound, tore off the album page by page and threw it into the brazier. His movements are graceful and casual, slow, and his tongues of fire scramble to lick his fingertips and burnt pages.
Chu Yunsheng tilted his head slightly and said in a low voice, "You have a hidden illness and you can't do anything about the bed, so why bother to look at this."
On the bed, Lu Fenglou's quiet closed eyes suddenly opened.
Chu Yunsheng threw the erotic palace album into the fire, met Lu Fenglou's gaze and walked to the bedside, leaning over and grabbing his wrist.
Lu Fenglou sat up, but did not struggle, but raised his head slightly, stared at Chu Yunsheng, and laughed: "Teacher, if you say such a thing, you are deceiving you."
