Xu Wenbo and other soldiers watched the emperor walk onto the stage with expectations, hoping that he could see the situation where treasure money was being distributed in front of the stage, and then stop it, and it would be best to punish those treacherous ministers.

However, the two ministers immediately came over and whispered to the emperor. The emperor's vision seemed to be blocked, and in the end, he sat on the only chair on the stage without any indication.

The emperor would definitely see it! Xu Wenbo and others thought in their hearts, and even stopped whispering in consciousness and stared at the stage. However, they were disappointed. Until everyone received the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote, the emperor still did not move. Did he really not see it? They were a little suspicious!

At this time, Shen Yongmao and Bi Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, and they came forward together and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty banknotes have been distributed!"

Hu Guang nodded after hearing this, stood up from the chair, strode to the front of the stage, and then slowly scanned the countless heads in front of him, with emotions brewing in his heart.

Behind him were two ministers standing, and on both sides were senior generals. This formation made the soldiers who were a little disappointed dare to make any noise.

After scanning the soldiers of the King's Army, Hu Guang suddenly said loudly: "Today is New Year's Eve. According to the customs of our Han people, it is the day for relatives to reunite, it is a sacrifice to ancestors, and pray for good weather and peace in the coming year!"

Hu Guang paused when he said this. A row of loud generals stood in the audience, spreading the emperor's words in unison so that as many soldiers could hear them.

Xu Wenbo stood relatively close, and he didn't need the generals to transmit the voice to hear it clearly. After hearing the emperor's words, he couldn't help but think of his mother at home, and a feeling of homesickness suddenly arose.

"But I have issued an order, and it's only the New Year in the capital today! Why did I issue this order? Is it ruthless?"

When Shen Yongmao and Bi Ziyan heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and smiled bitterly at the same time, then turned around and looked at the back of the young emperor.

These soldiers of the royal army were in the camp outside the city, so they didn't go. Even if the low-level officers entered the city, they had just walked around the place where the Zhonglie Hall of the Ming Dynasty was located and came back, so no one knew the news. At this moment, they couldn't help but be a little surprised: This New Year is a big deal! Why is that so?

But they believed that the emperor would never be ruthless. He was curious and forgot about the Ming Dynasty Baochao for a moment, and focused on hearing why the emperor had to issue an order but not the New Year?

"Actually, it's because the capital does not have the ability to celebrate the New Year! In today's capital, I have issued an order to control food, and everyone's food rations are fixed, and each person can only get a little bit of food. It is strictly forbidden to waste extravagance for the sake of the New Year. Once seized, I will never give up! Therefore, the craftsmen do not have enough physical strength, and the construction speed of the Ming Zhonglie Hall is much slower than expected, and the progress does not meet my minimum requirements for the Ming Zhonglie Hall."

Hu Guang's voice was a little low when he said this, with a little regret, but after stopping, he quickly became excited and waved his hand: "Diet is lighter than a feather, and more important than Mount Tai! The Ming Dynasty's loyal and martyrs died in battle to fight against Jianlu and defend the country! I must not just give perfunctory loyal and martyrs, so I decided that the ashes of the loyal and martyrs will be stored in the Ministry of War first. When the Ming Dynasty's loyal and martyrs' hall is completed, I will personally lead all civil and military officials to send them to the Ming Dynasty's loyal and martyrs' hall!"

Xu Wenbo and others were excited when they heard this, and their bodies couldn't help but stand straight. With such an emperor, it would be worth it to be a soldier!

Not only were these soldiers, but also the senior generals of the King's Army standing in two rows on the platform, they were slightly excited. Only the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but did not dare to express anything.

"Some people may wonder, why don't they allocate enough supplies to the craftsmen, so that the construction period of the Ming Zhonglie Hall will not be delayed?"

As soon as Hu Guang said this, Xu Wenbo was a little surprised. He turned to look at the comrades beside him and found that they were also looking around. Obviously, he was thinking of the same as him, to see who had such inappropriate thoughts?

Hu Guang on the stage, however, regardless of what the people below thought, brought out another thing he wanted to say: "The reason why I didn't do this is to save as much food as possible. It is to make no one starve to death in the capital this winter; it is to help as many people as possible in the capital who have nothing left!"

"You may not know that the people in Yongping, Zunhua and other places have just experienced the pain of family destruction, but are facing the desperate situation of hunger and cold. If I don't do this and don't save as much food as possible to help them, they will starve to death and freeze to death!"

When Xu Wenbo heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he thought to himself: Who dares to say that the emperor is not good? I have the will to stand up and take a look! Who else can have such a heart for the people in all dynasties?

Hu Guang saw that many soldiers below were nodding, and he felt a little relieved. They did not ignore the lives and deaths of strangers because the Ming Zhonglie Hall was concerned about their vital interests. From this we can see that most of the soldiers were good people.

However, the senior generals on the stage could not stand any longer and remembered the banquet that Yu Ci was gifted. He Kegang took the lead in kneeling on one knee, lowered his head and fist and said, "It's the last general who is incompetent!"

Cao Wenzhao followed closely and knelt on one knee and said, "It's the last general who is incompetent!"

Seeing this, each of the other generals dared to stand and knelt down to apologize. Suddenly, except for the two ministers and emperors, everyone on the stage knelt down.

The soldiers in front of the stage came to their senses when they heard the words of the generals on the stage. Why is this happening? Isn’t it because the soldiers who were in the army did not block Jianlu and did not defeat Jianlu?

Especially Xu Wenbo, who was a servant of Ma Shilong, had never fought a war and felt more guilty. Thinking of what the emperor had just said, he couldn't help but kneel down to apologize. When the other soldiers saw him, they all knelt down.

Hu Guang stood on the stage and looked at the densely packed soldiers in front of him. He knelt down on the left, right, front, and back without any rules. He knew that they were spontaneous and felt the responsibility of being soldiers.

Hu Guang did not stop them and allowed them to kneel. He waited until all the soldiers of the King's Army in front of him knelt down. After listening to the howling cold wind and the banners, he said loudly again: "If our Ming army can fight against Jianlu and defeat them, this kind of tragedy will not happen. As Ming soldiers, you are responsible for not defending your country!"
