On this day half a year later, the emperor sat in the main hall as usual and listened to the recital of the ministers below, when suddenly there was a noise outside the hall, and then a little eunuch outside came to tell him that a messenger came to the emperor at the border and immediately asked the little eunuch to bring the messenger to the palace.

After the little eunuch went out, he brought the messenger in, and the messenger entered the main hall to see the emperor, knelt on the ground and said, "Hey, the emperor is in a hurry."

"The border pass is in an emergency" The emperor's face changed after hearing the news, and he asked in disbelief, "How is it possible, hasn't the border pass always been guarded by General Li very well, how could it suddenly be in an emergency, but something happened." ”

When the messenger heard the emperor say this, he hurriedly took off the letter bag on his back and raised his hands and said, General Li has written the reason in it for the emperor to watch.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately instructed the eunuchs around him to go down and bring the letter.

After receiving the letter, the emperor couldn't wait to open it, read everything written on the letter at a glance and ten lines, and after reading it, his eyes widened angrily and he threw the letter to the ground angrily and said, "Okay, Zhang Shucheng, who gave you the courage to move my grain and grass, don't let me find you, otherwise you will be cut with a thousand knives to pay tribute to the soldiers who were killed by you on the battlefield." ”

Hearing the emperor say this, the ministers below all understood what was going on, it turned out that the officials guarding the grain and grass at the border pass were guarding and stealing from themselves, so that the soldiers who fought at the border pass had no food to eat, so they were defeated and retreated one after another, making the border pass urgent.

After the emperor calmed down after his anger, he arranged for people to prepare grain and grass again on the spot and send it to the border pass, and sent people to find Zhang Shucheng's whereabouts, because Zhang Shucheng had harmed so many people, and the emperor would not let him go.

Hearing the news of the border emergency, the ministers below were very excited, and Mo Yuan couldn't help but sneer at the corners of his mouth when he looked at everyone like this.

That's right, he did all this, the letter to Zhang Shucheng that he handed over to the housekeeper at the beginning, which was written to let Zhang Shucheng steal grain and grass, of course, he wrote far more than that, in the letter he not only instructed Zhang Shucheng to steal grain and grass, he also asked Zhang Shucheng to take grain and grass to find foreigners, not only let him sell grain and grass to foreigners, but also let him tell them about the situation of the border soldiers, which led to this series of events.

The emperor wanted to find Zhang Shucheng, but it was impossible, because Mo Yuan had already told Zhang Shucheng to let him take him abroad and not come back.

If you want to ask Zhang Shucheng why he listened to him so much, firstly, he promised that the money from the sale of grain and grass would belong to him, and secondly, when he achieved hegemony, he would take him back and allow him to be a high-ranking official.

Why did he do such a harmful thing to others and himself, it was not because of Li Yuqing, because the commander of the border pass was Li Wenbo, the eldest son of the general who protected the country, and the second son Li Wenhyun was the deputy commander.

Li Yuqing wanted to rely on the Protector General's Mansion to help Mo Xuan, how could he call her will, so he wanted to kill the two important people of the Li family at all costs to weaken the strength of the Protector General's Mansion.

Besides, Li Yuqing, she was really anxious after hearing the news for the first time, but she didn't expect that all this was done by Mo Yuan, the reason why she was anxious was that firstly, it was indeed because the two cousins of her uncle's family were guarding the border pass, and secondly, and most importantly, because the border pass was the junction between Xia and other countries, if the border pass was homeworked, then the entire Xia country would lose its barrier, and it might also be swallowed up by other countries.

Li Yuqing heard that the emperor sent people to step up the preparation of grain and grass, but with so much grain and grass, where is it so easy to prepare all the grains and grass.

In normal times, the soldiers could still rely on the surplus grain to persevere, but now the hateful Zhang Shucheng secretly transferred the grain and grass away, leaving no surplus grain for the border pass.

Now at a critical juncture, every minute of delay is possible, a soldier is killed, thinking of this, Li Yuqing couldn't help but think carefully, how to quickly send charcoal in the snow, and soon she thought of a way, thinking of this, she immediately went to the palace to find the emperor.

On weekdays, the emperor would be very happy to hear that Li Yuqing came to him, but now he is worried about the matter of grain and grass, so he said no to the eunuch who told him, and the eunuch replied to Li Yuqing with the emperor's words, and Li Yuqing said to the eunuch, "Trouble my father-in-law to tell the emperor again, the courtiers have important things to tell the emperor." ”

If it was someone else, this father-in-law would have been impatient a long time ago, but Li Yuqing's identity was different, so he went to tell him again, and the emperor heard that Li Yuqing had something important to say, so he thought about it and let her in.

Li Yuqing arrived at the imperial study, and saw that the emperor was stopped by the emperor as soon as he wanted to kneel, and the emperor looked at Li Yuqing and said, "Yuqing, I heard my father-in-law say that you have something important to tell you, what is the matter." ”

Li Yuqing heard the emperor's question, and hurriedly replied, "Back to the emperor, the courtiers heard that you are worried about the grain and grass at the border, so she has a special idea and wants to listen to you." ”

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard Li Yuqing say this, and he asked anxiously, "What do you think, tell me quickly." ”

Li Yuqing saw the emperor like this and replied with a smile: "If you want to come to the emperor, you should know that the courtiers are in business, and they have opened branches in various towns and cities in the Xia Kingdom over the years."

The emperor naturally investigated Li Yuqing, of course he knew what Li Yuqing said, so he didn't speak, and listened to Li Yuqing continue, "A large amount of grain and grass is not easy to harvest, but a small batch is okay, the courtiers want so many shops, if each store prepares a cart of grain and grass to transport over, so that one cart after another should be enough for the border soldiers to hold on to a large number of grain and grass."

After listening to Li Yuting's words, the emperor's eyes lit up and said, "You mean that you are willing to prepare grain and grass to send over."

Li Yuqing nodded, "The courtiers know that the border pass is the barrier of the Xia Kingdom, and once it is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I want to do my part, of course, there is also a part of Mo Xuan's relationship in doing so." ”。

The emperor didn't expect Li Yuqing to say this, and was silent for a while before saying, "Although you may be doing this because of Mo Xuan's relationship, but you have such a great courage as a girl, it's no wonder that Xuan'er will like you, to be honest, if I were still young, I might like you." ”

When Li Yuqing heard the emperor say this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she broke out in a cold sweat, and her body couldn't help but take a step back.

When the emperor saw Li Yuqing like this, he couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing, "You girl looks very clever on weekdays, why are you so rigid at this time, I'm joking with you, you really take it seriously." ”

Li Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the emperor say this, and then smiled at the emperor awkwardly.

After this episode, Li Yuqing talked to the emperor again and was ready to leave, and when he left, the emperor promised that Li Yuqing would take out silver money from the treasury to supplement her with the grain and grass at the border pass, but Li Yuqing did not respond when she heard it, and only told the emperor to send someone to inform the border pass as soon as possible that she was going to send someone to send grain and grass, and that her grain and grass would be delivered at that time, and the people at the border gate would not dare to accept it.
