Chapter 218-Aren't I running and waiting to die?

ess and his concubines had left the palace. Then Jin Yiwei told him his Royal Highness's whereabouts."Su Pingbei replied respectfully.Li Chen nodded and did not worry too much about the matter. He was...Chapter 218 Don't I run to die

"the first assistant is better."

Li Chen said coldly, "in order to hide this hand, how many more rebels, how many innocent people died, and how many officers and soldiers died in Xishan province Once the success is withered, the first auxiliary work has not yet been accomplished, but there are already a lot of dead bones at the foot. "

Zhao Xuanji twitched at the corner of his mouth and said bluntly, "compared with your Highness, it's still a little less."

when he saw Zhao Xuanji sneering at himself with words, Li Chen sneered and ignored him.

by this time, Tao Rui, unkempt and unkempt in prison uniform, had arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony under the escort of the guards.

two guards pressed their palms on Tao Rui's shoulders and exerted their strength. Tao Rui, with chains on his hands and chains on his feet, suddenly plopped to his knees.

although there was a soft carpet on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Tao Rui snorted with pain.

at this time, all the people on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, including Li Chen, saw Tao Rui's appearance clearly.

average appearance, medium height, looks very ordinary.

may be left in the crowd of ordinary people, Tao Rui can still have some bearing of living in a high position for a long time, but in this Hall of Supreme Harmony, few people have a lower official position than Tao Rui.

coupled with the fact that he has suffered a lot these days, Tao Rui looks very embarrassed and haggard.

"you are Tao Rui." Li Chen said indifferently.

Tao Rui sneered and said, "Don't play these tricks. I didn't think I could live when you caught me. Didn't you want to squeeze me out of my last bit of value by sending me to the Hall of Supreme Harmony"

"Yes, the refugees in Xishan Province rebelled. Their momentum was so great that there were signs of rebels all over the province almost overnight. I was no match for them. Whether I reported it or not, I was dead, so I ran before the rebels called."

"I just didn't run away."

"dare!"

Yushi, the right deputy of the du Cha Yuan, opened his mouth and scolded, "as a court official and receiving court salaries, you should have served your country wholeheartedly, but when there were rebels in the provinces under your rule, your first thought was not to resist and counter rebellion, but to escape! He even ran away without a report from the court, so bold and afraid of death that he dared to speak plausibly in this Hall of Supreme Harmony! "

Tao Rui sneered and stared at the right deputy Emperor Shi and said, "Tan Bingzhi, it just doesn't hurt to stand up and talk. Do you know what's going on in Xishan Province"

"in Xishan Province, there are a total of 6 million people, all of which belong to the most populous provinces in the country, but after two years of natural disasters, floods, droughts and snowstorms have come one after another, and more than 6 million people have died in no more than two years, with 2.8 million dead!"

"this is still obtained by statistics, but what about those that cannot be counted" At present, it is impossible to count. Village after village has disappeared and become extinct, and the rest of the people have fled. They have no idea of life or death. Today, the household population of Xishan Province is less than 2 million. "

"the imperial court was ineffective in disaster relief, and there was no money or food at the top, not to mention giving it to the people. Even the soldiers of the government and the garrison troops stationed in Xishan Province had not paid salaries and salaries for a long time, and everyone could not fill their stomachs. When the rebels called, it would be nice not to defect with them. Do you expect me to direct these people to fight the rebellion"

"in the case of Xishan, not to mention me, there was nothing I could do about the rebirth of Mr. Bowen more than three hundred years ago!"

"what can I do if I don't run Will you stay there and be buried with you I'm not that stupid! "g to the needs of the situation. in short, it is more tiring."this is the first time that Li Chen has confided some feelings in front of Zhao Rui. Zhao Rui listened carefully. Although she had little...
