The officials in charge are all civil and military, and the military is the thousand households of the Five Cities Military and Ma Si. With civil officials there, they have no say.

The civil servant was the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture. He looked about forty or fifty years old, and he reported with panic on his face: "Report to Your Majesty, some unruly people tried to rush out to beg along the street despite the martial law orders of the court, and thus a conflict occurred!"

Hu Guang was a little stunned when he heard this. If he said so, the Five City Military and Masjids were performing their duties and there was no fault. However, the dead people who were seen in front of him and those who were about to die immediately flashed through his mind.

He looked up and stared at the magistrate and asked, "Is there any help?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, you will have one porridge a day and five hundred kilograms of charcoal fire."

When Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but furiously, "So many people, such cold weather, just such a little relief? What does Shuntian Mansion and the Ministry of Revenue do for food?"

The judge had a helpless look on his face and kowtowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the court has mobilized supplies for the army of kings. I really can't bring out more!"

The soldiers nearby were silent as they listened to the conversation. The refugees who had rushed on the front line and clashed with the soldiers before lowered their heads, as if they had a hint of helplessness on their faces. They knew very well that compared to the supply of the army of kings, their refugees seemed insignificant. Haha, what if the emperor is here, maybe they could turn around and leave after saying decent words.

Hu Guang frowned when he heard this. He was not an unreasonable person. He remembered that the Jianlu invaded the capital in October and the capital began martial law. More than two months have passed. So many people have to consume a lot of supplies.

Relatively speaking, the court naturally had military priority, and it was reasonable to reduce the relief of refugees here to the minimum. The original Emperor Chongzhen might not have known that the refugees in the capital, and the military supplies and logistics of the army who served the king were already very troubled. After all, it was just one sentence that the court had no food.

Fortunately, he came over and ordered the transfer of the royal army, reducing the pressure on the supply of the capital. Thinking of this, Hu Guang turned to Gao Shiyue and ordered: "I asked the rich households in the capital to donate money and grain before. This part is considered an extra item. Go and get the roster. I need to know how much money and grain have been donated."

"As for your order, Your Majesty." Gao Shiyue agreed and immediately ordered a horse around her to gallop out.

Hu Guang turned his head and looked at the square. The cold wind was howling, and most people were shaking from the cold. Then he turned his head and ordered: "Allocate military tents from the Beijing camp to shelter them from the wind and cold, so that no one was frozen outside."

The Jingying camp is the eunuch Li Fengxiang, the eunuch at the Sili Supervisor, who is currently assisting the defense of the city of Guizhou. However, with the emperor's oral order, this is enough. Another close servant immediately rushed out.

Recent refugees were extremely surprised when they heard Hu Guang’s issuing two decrees. They did not expect that the emperor would start to solve the problem for them without hesitation. Now that they are ready, they should be able to survive!

They felt like they were in desperate situations. Excited, someone immediately took the lead and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The refugees behind didn't know what happened, and their fear of imperial power made them shout, but their momentum was obviously not as strong as those in front.

After they finished shouting, they heard the news conveyed from the front. Suddenly, the refugees behind were also surprised and happy. After changing their previous actions, they shouted again with joy, shouting and kowtowing, and some even shed tears of joy.

The "Ding Ding Ding" system prompt sounded, but Hu Guang was not in the mood to see how much achievement was worth. At this moment, he deeply realized that in this feudal dynasty, how many people could see hope and how many people could save their lives in this feudal dynasty.

There are countless people in front of them who have lost their close relatives, and they themselves do not know whether they can live until tomorrow. These are because the court is incompetent and the Jianlu ravaged the capital.

Thinking of the original history, such situations will happen repeatedly and affect the whole country. The land of China is full of life, white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away. One of the people's thoughts will break the intestines.

At this moment, Hu Guang suddenly felt that he was not so excited to be the emperor, and he was replaced by heavy responsibilities. Military disasters, man-made disasters, severe droughts in the north, typhoons and floods in the south, these will be problems that he must work hard to solve as the emperor. On the road to revitalizing the Ming Dynasty, there is a long way to go!

Thinking of this, Hu Guang suddenly turned around and ordered: "Issuing an order to the cabinet, the six ministers, and the nobles and royal relatives all come here to see you!"

Gao Shiyue was stunned when she heard this, but when she saw the emperor's cold face, she did not dare to advise. She agreed and immediately sent someone.

There were more than 4,000 refugees in the square. At Hu Guang's order, they all started to move, allowing the old and weak to get close to the fire to keep warm and boil hot water to drive away the cold. The dead refugees gathered together and lined up on the road in front of Hu Guang.

Hu Guang still sat on the horse, watching all this silently, watching the refugees who were still confronting the soldiers just now doing things obediently. In fact, as long as there is a way out, who would think of causing trouble?

Not long after, before the officials arrived, the donation list was taken by the fast horse. Hu Guang took it and opened it and saw that there were so many wealthy households in the capital, and more than a day had passed, and there were only more than fifty names.

Among them, he saw Ruhua's name. Near the name, Ruyue, Qiuxiang and other names, and you can tell at a glance that he has an identity similar to Ruhua. Such names account for nearly half of them. The total amount of money and grain registered on the list is probably only enough for these refugees to spend two days.

Hu Guang slowly closed the roster, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath and said nothing.

On the street, there were gradually more people, and there were very few horses riding, mostly sitting in sedan chairs and gathering towards the refugee area.

But when I saw the emperor sitting on his horse's back to this side from afar, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, walked over.

Looking at his colleagues beside him, a robe official complained: "What are you doing for? Why did you let the emperor leave the palace?"

"Now, the emperor saw some things that shouldn't be seen with his own eyes. Let's wait for Long Yan to be furious!" The other person also muttered.

These civil officials knew in their hearts that no matter how miserable the memorial was, it was a textual thing, far less than the shock that they had seen with their own eyes. The main purpose of being ministers in all dynasties to make the emperor stay in the palace with excuses such as disturbing the people, dangers, etc. is to not want the emperor to see everything outside with his own eyes.
