Chapter 827 Two new policies

The leader smiled bitterly, "To be honest, young master, not all of us have no food to eat. Changsha has been in trouble for more than 20 years. After we left the army, we can keep our food and clothing with our strength. But... there are some brothers like me who were disabled when fighting with the Yuan army, and it is difficult for them to have enough food to eat. Although the court now divides the fields, we can't even plow the fields. It's useless to divide the fields..."

He saluted Zhao Dongting again, "We have to let those disabled and helpless brothers have a meal to eat, so that they can come out to beg for the first time. In the past, the Yuan army guarded the city, but we didn't dare to say that we were old soldiers in Changsha, for fear of causing trouble. Now we dare to reveal our identity. If the young master had the remaining money on him, I beg him to give him one or two charity."

The leader spoke earnestly.

Zhang Ru next to her is the most kind-hearted, look at Zhao Dongting's sleeves.

Zhao Dongting chuckled and said meaningfully: "You guys want to show it to the government office, right?"

The leading man's expression was a little stiff in an instant, but it was fleeting, and he said, "I can't understand what the young master means."

Zhao Dongting no longer studied it, smiled and continued to walk forward.

The leading man looked at Zhao Dongting's back deeply, his eyes dazed.

Ying'er and Zhang Ru followed Zhao Dongting, all of whom were a little confused. Ying'er asked, "Husband, why do you say they are doing it for the government office to see?"

Zhao Dongting sighed: "To be more precise, I should have wanted to show it to me. If it weren't surprising, these old men should have come out to beg after I entered the palace. Although many of them were disabled, they would not have been able to eat. Otherwise, they would not have been able to persist in the past twenty years and would have become hungry on the road. The court had indeed never considered the actual situation of these old men."

He smiled a little, "Everyone yearns for a better life. It is understandable that they want to use this method to attract the attention of the court. It is worth more and more personal interests."

He was indeed disappointed.

If these soldiers live a hard life and do not add burden to the court, it is a matter of affection and righteousness. However, it is also a duty to attract the attention of the court in this way.

Even the people can gain vital benefits. What reason do they have to be ignored by those who once shed their blood for the country?

Zhao Dongting scratched his forehead gently and no longer wanted to see the stalls and vendors on the roadside.

As soon as he returned to the bedroom, he asked Xuan Lu Xiufu and Xiang Dongyang and other ministers in charge of the State Council to enter the palace.

However, the eunuch failed to bring Xiang Dongyang.

There is bad news.

Deputy State Order Xiang Dongyang became ill after a long time of hard work and died suddenly in the yamen of the State Council. Before his death, he was still reviewing documents.

The moment Zhao Dongting heard the news, he stood up in shock and looked sad and regretful on his face.

He knew that Xiang Dongyang was in charge of the State Council in the past few years, and it would be difficult to do anything to do, which means there were many miscellaneous things. But he never thought that Xiang Dongyang would die because of this.

Although Xiang Dongyang is over seventy years old, if he hadn't worked so hard, he would have lived for a few more years and died.

Zhao Dongting immediately rushed to the State Council Government Office.

On the road, while feeling guilty, I naturally felt that it was urgent to train young and strong officials to take over.

Just imagine, when Xiang Dongyang died suddenly and Lu Xiufu and his team were in office, how good could their physical condition be?

Zhao Dongting was accustomed to delegating power, and at this time he was full of guilt towards these old ministers.

He took Hong Wutian and others out of the palace to the State Council Government Office. Lu Xiufu and others were all there, and officials came to the State Council Office one after another.

After becoming an official, Xiang Dongyang acted in a low-key manner, never participated in forming cliques, and only did practical things, which also made him highly respected among the officials of the court.

After Zhao Dongting entered the government office, he directly asked the eunuch to take the office to Xiang Dongyang to work in the office.

At this time, Xiang Dongyang's body had not yet been transported away.

When I arrived at the door, I could see that there were already many officials standing outside, all wearing purple and red official robes. It is true that they were full of red purples and purples.

"Everyone is exempt from gifts!"

Seeing Zhao Dongting arrive, these officials would kneel on the ground to salute. Zhao Dongting just waved his hand and hurried into the lobby.

Xiang Dongyang's body is placed in the middle of the lobby.

Next to them, there were only first-rank ministers such as Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi, and Wang Wenfu, who were the first-rank ministers.

Zhao Dongting walked closer and stopped Lu Xiufu and others from saluting. Looking at Xiang Dongyang who was still lying on the desk, he shook his head and sighed without saying a word.

He didn't know what to say. He felt guilty or guilt in his heart.

If we could pay attention to the issue of the failure of officials in the court earlier and not allow Xiang Dongyang and others to work hard all day long, the tragedy at this moment would not have happened.

Hong Wutian walked to Xiang Dongyang and looked at Xiang Dongyang's gray temples and his eyes were slightly red.

He and Xiang Dongyang have been friends with each other for decades. If you say that you have heartache at this time, it should be the most heartache for him.

Suddenly, he looked back at Zhao Dongting and Hong Wutian said, "Your Majesty, the old beggar really regrets his advice to Brother Dongyang to enter the palace and become an official."

He undoubtedly had some resentment in his heart.

Zhao Dongting looked guilty, "It's my fault."

He fell to the ground and kowtowed to Xiang Dongyang.

After getting up, he said to Lu Xiufu and others: "Grandpa Xiang has no relatives, so the court will handle the matter properly and be buried with the royal family ceremony. He posthumously named Taishi and posthumously named Wenzhong."

Lu Xiufu and others bowed to accept the order.

Zhao Dongting stepped forward and raised Xiang Dongyang's body. He was very thin and his bones were scattered. He was afraid that Mo only weighed more than 90 pounds. "I should send Xiang Gong's body back home. I will keep you for three days."

A group of officials from the Song Dynasty followed Zhao Dongting away from the State Council Government.

Go to Xiangdongyang Mansion.

The mansion is not big, and there are only a few servants inside. One is in charge of the office and the kitchen, two miscellaneous servants, and two maids sent out from the palace.

It is hard to imagine that it would be the mansion of a first-rank official in the dynasty.

Zhao Dongting carried Xiang Dongyang's body to the main hall and placed it on the chair. Then a minor official from the court hurriedly came in and arranged a mourning hall.

Xiang Dongyang's body was put into the coffin.

Zhao Dongting knelt in front of the coffin and stopped talking.

The officials of the court came forward one by one and knelt down to pay homage.

All night, Zhao Dongting knelt in front of the coffin. When Concubine Yang Shu, Ying'er, Zhang Ru and others arrived, they asked Zhao Dongting to take care of the dragon's body.

Zhao Dongting just whispered: "It is my fault that I will die suddenly when I am tired. I should guard the mourning hall for him."

The next day, the Hengshan Tianshi Dao Tianshi Yuan Zhenzi was summoned to Changsha with several small Tianshi.

Zhao Dongting held the ceremony of a filial son and was covered with white clothes.
