After a few days without wind and waves, there was a battle report from the northwest, saying that Xiao Wei led the troops to win a small victory over the Tartars, and greatly frustrated the spirit of the Tartar army, and the prince also arrived in the northwest, and several generals were greatly boosted, and they were discussing how to retreat from the enemy together, and reported that it was to see the current state of the Tartar army, and it was estimated that this battle would take some time, hoping to transfer some grain and grass to the northwest.

The emperor got the war report and asked Liang Xingyong, the secretary of the household department, about the grain in the granaries now, Liang Xingyong counted the state of the grain in recent years, and said: "The wind and rain in the past year are smooth, and the grain in each province is sufficient, so you can first transfer some grain and grass from the granary of Yanzhou to the northwest." ”

The emperor glanced at Liang Xingyong, "If I remember correctly, I transported three months of military rations to the northwest a year ago, and I asked for grain and grass in less than half a month.

The emperor was clearly warning Liang Xingyong to do his duty as a courtier, how could he dare to respond? He hung his head and said softly: "General Wei is also taking precautions, and the minister thinks that the matter of military rations will be slowed down for the time being, and it is not too late to make a decision after seeing the shape." ”

The emperor coldly glanced at An Beihou, who was standing in the hall with an expressionless face, and put the fold aside.

Xie Jinning, who came back from the debriefing, talked about the southeast flood, which was also related to food.

"Quanzhou has been flooded for a long time, after the autumn, many places south of Quanzhou are flooded, the fields and houses are flooded, many people are displaced, there are 500,000 displaced people in Quanzhou alone, the minister has set up porridge factories and good halls in Quanzhou to settle the displaced people, but the effect is very small......"

Xie Jianning said a lot, hoping that the emperor would be able to open a warehouse for disaster relief.

The emperor thought about it for a while, but he didn't refuse, but said that this matter would have to be discussed in detail, so he dispersed the court meeting, leaving Xie Jianning alone and Liu Yu, the household servant, to come down, presumably to personally inquire about some flooding matters.

Anbei waited for Wei Jie to leave the palace, was dragged by Liang Xingyong, and the two met in the private room of the Eight Immortals Building.

Wei Jie held a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip, and looked at Liang Xingyong with an anxious face, with a smile of indifference and some contempt.

"Lord Liang is so anxious, but what's going on?"

Liang Xingyong thought of the war report, it was clearly like a life talisman, not to mention how the war was, just to say that the army had only been in the past for less than half a month, and after a small victory, he opened his mouth to ask the emperor for military salaries, which was inevitably a little too eager, if it provoked the emperor's suspicion, it would be a big incident, he looked at Wei Jie still laughing at this time, and his heart was even more angry.

"What does Anbei mean by this?"

Wei Jie saw that Liang Xingyong seemed to have his eyebrows burning, and secretly laughed, I don't know how this person became the elder of the pavilion, he was in a hurry when he encountered a little trivial matter, and there was no elder of the pavilion who was calm and composed, it was really worrying, if his son was the same as his temperament, wouldn't it hurt Huan'er?

Thinking like this, he said unhurriedly: "When the army is fighting, food and grass are naturally indispensable, and this excerpt of Hechang is also reasonable, it is better for Lord Liang to be calm and not impatient." ”

Liang Xingyong couldn't hear that he was perfunctory, thinking that he had already handed in his name, his remorse was a little overflowing, originally he was looking at the Wei family with such flowers, and wanted to join forces with the Wei family to take advantage of the emperor's intention to promote a group of young talents, to give his son Bo a good future, where do you know that the Wei family is actually a deep pit, as soon as you step into it, you can't pull it out, in recent days, the emperor is getting less and less to give him face, in the past, he was still beating himself vaguely, and in recent days, he has been more and more embarrassed on the surface, but he can't refute it, which makes him often break out in a cold sweat。

"Master Hou, I said something that I don't like, we as courtiers still have to share the emperor's worries first, and then think about the rest, the current political situation, the northwest has General Wei and the prince guarding, like an iron bucket, what we should care about now is the flood in the southeast, if the flood can be taken care of, the emperor will naturally be happy. ”

Liang Xingyong doesn't want to be led by Wei Jie anymore, he has been an official in the court for more than 30 years, and now he is fifty-seven years old, but he has only been in the position of the elder of the pavilion for seven years, and the eldest son was born to his wife after he was thirty-five years old, so he loves this son very much, since he has been tied to An Beihou, then he has to give his son a good future.

An Beihou smiled and nodded, since Liang Xingyong wants to give his son a good future, then give him some benefits.

……

Since returning from the celebration of the Zhu family's housewarming that day, the Xie family has put Xia Mingche's trip to the southeast on the agenda.

After Mrs. Xia and Xia Shijing knew, they also agreed with this matter very much, although the flood in the southeast is indeed strict, but the more convenient it is, the easier it is to make political achievements, as long as the situation is stabilized, after coming back, you will be able to increase the official and enter the knighthood, which is like going to the battlefield to get meritorious deeds, so the Xia family is also busy preparing rain gear and packing some bags these days.

Jinping came in with hot tea and snacks, put it lightly on the table, glanced at Jin Se, Jin Se put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent movement, pointed to the sleeping Chan Yi on the warm kang, Jinping nodded.

Chanyi has been sick since Zhu's house came back, the doctor came to check the pulse, said that it was the wind, it was a disease of wind and cold, and she decocted the medicine every day to eat, but it was not very good, she often woke up at night, and after getting up during the day, she was particularly unenergetic, and now she had lunch, she couldn't support it and fell asleep, which was something that had never happened before, so that the two waiting maids were also very anxious.

Jinping saw that Chanyi was covered with a thin quilt, afraid that she would catch a cold, so he turned out a thick blanket made of wool in the cage and gently covered her, and the two maids guarded her one by one, and began to do needlework in the bright noon sun, which was to embroider Chanyi's spring clothes.

The house is very quiet, the earth dragon is burning very strong, the sunlight outside the window is just right, the house has not healed because of the wind and cold, and there is no incense burned, and the clear and quiet air also makes people feel comfortable.

Chanyi closed her eyes and was heavy, her body was very warm, she felt that her body was hot, but she couldn't sweat, it was uncomfortable tight, her eyes were closed and she couldn't open them, and she heard someone talking in her ears, although the voice was very small, but she still listened carefully.

“…… Second Miss, if she goes on like this, is she going to die?" spoke in a slightly childish female voice, sounding like a little girl.

"Shhh Let's listen to Miss Four, take a good look at Miss Two and don't let her make trouble for Miss Four, and when Miss Four's reputation goes out, Miss Four will call the shots and give us a good future. ”

The childish female voice snorted softly: "Sister Siqi, I have also heard about this, saying that the third prince just seized the grain and grass of the prince and collaborated with the enemy, and pulled a full cart full of 800 carts, all of which are fine polished rice and wheat, I heard that they are all military rations......"

Siqi ...... Chanyi wondered, wasn't Siqi sent to Zhuangzi a long time ago, why was she still waiting by her side?

Who is that little girl? How can you hear such a familiar voice?

And, speaking of military rations...... Isn't Chu Shaoyuan already missing?

Chanyi was startled, and sat up suddenly, the two people guarding her in front of her, only Jinping and Jinse, where is Siqi?

Jinping looked at Chanyi's sweaty appearance, and hurriedly wrung a hot towel to wipe her sweat.

Jin Se poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Chanyi, and said softly, "Miss, are you having nightmares again?"

Chanyi took several sips of hot tea before pressing down the strange strand, and the beads of sweat on her forehead were also wiped clean by Jinping, Jinping took a jacket to put Chanyi on her body, and persuaded: "It's been a few days, Miss's wind and cold can't drag on like this, it's better to invite Gongzi Jian to come to see the pulse, maybe it can be better faster." ”

Chanyi nodded, "You told Xia Qi to invite Prince Anli, Jin Se to serve me and dress, and I will go to Yinqiu Courtyard." ”

Jin Se saw that Chanyi had just woken up and was about to go out, so he hurriedly stopped: "Your body is not well yet, how can you go out?" If there is something, tell the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will run away, and you can go in person. ”

Chanyi shook her head, the two conversations she just heard in her dream, she was very sure that something must have happened in her previous life, but she was disheartened at this time in her previous life, and she didn't care about many things.

Seeing that Chanyi insisted, Jin Se didn't want to say anything more, so he just wrapped her tightly and went to the Hidden Autumn Courtyard together.

Xia Mingche had lunch and was reading a few copies of "Political Dignitaries" in the small study, and when he saw Chanyi coming in a hurry, he was stunned, he remembered that his sister had a cold and had not recovered, why did he come here at this time?

He couldn't help frowning and said: "Wanwan, you are sick, and the weather is so cold, if there is something to let people sue me, just run over by yourself, what if the illness is strict?"

Chanyi's throat itched, coughed twice, and said, "Second brother, how has the situation in the DPRK and China changed? Has your father told you anything when he came back in the past few days? Can you tell me about it?"

Xia Mingche knew that his sister was not like an ordinary lady, and he didn't hide many things from her, he thought for a moment and said: "What you want to ask about is the situation in the northwest, I heard my father say that the prince has gone to the northwest, Xiao Wei and Wang Jue won a small victory, and then Wei Feng passed the battle report and said that the military rations were not enough, and I hope that the emperor will transfer some military rations to the past." ”

Chanyi's brows furrowed even tighter, it seems that it is really related to military rations, so isn't the prince wronged?

"Second brother, I think there is something not normal here, although there are 150,000 troops, but the food and salary will not be used so quickly, I am afraid that there is a cat here. ”
