Chu Yao was lying on the couch, his face was slightly pale, and his chest was wrapped in a heavy bandage, and it could be seen from the bright red blood stains on his head that the injury was not light. This article was first published by There was also a small couch beside him, shorter and smaller, and Mo Yun was lying on his stomach, he was shirtless, and the wound on his back was hideous, and the accompanying Imperial Doctor Sun was giving him medicine.

"Master, your medicine." It was Qiang Ming who presented the medicine, he was originally the deputy envoy of the left guard, and because Qian Wu stayed in the capital to guard the East Palace, he replaced Qian Wu to serve left and right.

When he saw that the prince had finished drinking the medicine, he immediately took the porcelain bowl respectfully, and said, "This is the letter sent today." ”

Chu Yao bowed his head and said lightly: "Put it on the table." ”

"General Xu is not honest in the prison, his mouth is scolding, and several generals below him have been staying in the wing room of the city tower, and his subordinates are worried that they are discussing and making trouble."

"The 100,000 army is a reinforcement, 200,000 in Xu Chang's hands, Lone's status is higher than him, and the main force is in his hands, this game is a game of competition between the two powers, and his father let Lone lead the soldiers, that is, he wants to collect his military power, he naturally thought of this layer." Chu Yao said it lightly, his eyes fell on Mo Yun's back, and he stopped talking.

Mo Yun gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and finally waited until Imperial Doctor Sun took out the stone embedded in the rotten flesh before he breathed a sigh of relief. Qiang Ming took a clean handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Imperial Doctor Sun is preparing the upper layer of wound medicine, and the scar on Master Mo's back will not be too deep." ”

"I'm a big man who is afraid of a scar on his back." Mo Yun glanced at him, turned his face, and said to Chu Yao: "So Xu Changcai got up with his mind, and got rid of us with the hand of Xun Guo, and our troops were divided into five routes, but Xun Guo could accurately know the Qiyuan Valley where the master went, if it weren't for the fact that the master was like a god, we would have hung it this time." ”

Chu Yao's eyes were deep, and after thinking about it, he said lightly: "Xu Chang did this, and it was not in vain that he set up a bitter plan. Along the way, he deliberately asked Xu Chang's spies to find out the news, just to let the wolf's ambition be revealed, so that he could take the lead and completely control the sovereignty here.

Chu Yao paused slightly, glanced at Qiang Ming, and ordered: "You quickly send someone to burn all the grain and grass we have left, as well as some of the grain stored by Xu Chang." ”

When Qiang Ming heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said worriedly: "The loss of food in the DPRK and China was originally due to our tightness, if it burns like this......"

Chu Yao raised his hand to interrupt his words: "Alone to find a way to raise food, as soon as the remaining grain and grass are burned, immediately let the people who were previously placed next to Xu Chang go to find the tiger talisman, as well as arrest Xu Chang's henchmen, as for the evidence of punishment, will we have less?" ”

The prince ordered this, and Qiang Ming immediately realized that there is indeed a lot of evidence of Xu Chang's guilt at present, but it is not enough to be beheaded immediately, and now the loss of food in the court is in the limelight, so if Xu Chang dares to destroy the grain stock of the prince's reinforcements, it is intended to put the prince to death, which is intolerable.

Chu Yao's method this time is really dangerous, there is already a shortage of food and grass, and he has to destroy it, but if he doesn't cut the mess quickly, he will be easily bitten by Xu Chang, the tiger, if he drags it down.

Shen Hanyue walked out of the imperial study, she did not take a walk back to the East Palace, but slowly walked back.

Between Emperor Chengzhao, it can be said to be a transaction, it can also be said to be a fight, if it is handled well, it will be beneficial to Chu Yao, and it will also be harmless to the Shen family, if it is not handled well, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and it will be a catastrophe.

At present, Prince Su is still imprisoned, and he will not worry about his life for the time being, because Emperor Chengzhao's goal has been achieved, it depends on how he will be complete in the future, if the officials in the court and China know that the emperor is so despicable, who will dare to be loyal and filial?

Thinking of this, Shen Hanyue sighed, raised her hand to let Xiao Hui behind her come closer, and whispered: "You go to find Qian Wu and ask him to go to Prince Su's Mansion to say 'everything will be safe'." ”

Xiao Hui understood that this was the young lady who wanted to tell Prince Su that Prince Su would not have anything to do.

When Shen Hanyue returned to the East Palace, she heard that the county lord of An Ning had just fallen asleep, and guessed that she must have not slept for many days.

Shen Hanyue didn't disturb her rest, turned around and went to the study, picked up a pen and wrote two letters, one to her grandmother in Qihang County, and the other to ask Shen Jue to take to the border to Chu Yao.

The letter told about Shen Jue and the county lord of Anning, as well as the location of the grain and grass hidden in the towns not far from the border pass, and hoped that Chu Yao would bring Shen Jue with him, after all, if Shen Jue was responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the Shen family, then it should not be difficult for Shen Jue to install an official position in this regard. Otherwise, the identity disparity between Shen Jue and the county lord of Anning is too great, and after the Yang family's accident, his identity in the Shen family is still a little embarrassing, so he needs to ask his grandmother to give him the identity of a son-in-law.

Shen Jue is not incompetent, but because he knows the embarrassing identity of the Yang family, he didn't even take the test, and now that such a thing is born, what should he do, his grandmother will tell him.

Now Chu Yao is at the border pass, and Xu Chang, who is guarding over there, is the eldest son of Mrs. Xu, and he is also a difficult master to deal with. And he can't guarantee that he can solve his food and grass problem, so let him carry Shen Jue, and worry about the Shen family's marriage to the county lord of Anning, thinking of this, Shen Hanyue is also helpless. Is he too dependent on Chu Yao? The first thing that comes to mind is him, even if he is thousands of miles away, throwing the hope of solving the problem on him.

Originally, Shen Hanyue didn't want to trouble him for such a housework, but there was no other way, after all, the county lord of Anning was pregnant, and a bad matter would make Shen Jue lose his life, so he had to let Shen Jue hide in Chu Yao's side first. And the marriage of the county lord of Anning, Shen Hanyue is not qualified to interfere, so he can only trouble Chu Yao, whether he personally writes to the eldest princess or asks the queen mother for help, in short, if he speaks, it must be helpful.

Shen Hanyue was worried here, feeling that it was useless for her life, Chu Yao had just arrived at the border, so she wrote to him to deal with personal matters. But Chu Yao, who received the letter, felt that he was so incompetent, he didn't let his wife sit back and relax, and left a mess for her to worry about.

From the information from Fanjing in the past few days, he knew that his father had sent her to the imperial study, not for food and grass, but for what? His father's behavior made him feel ashamed, he simply married the daughter of the Shen family, and he didn't regard the Shen family as a hero, and he also changed his way to oppress the Shen family, and any family was not ashamed to do anything to plot his daughter-in-law's dowry or family property, so Chu Yao felt that he had no face to face Shen Hanyue.

He stroked the letterhead in his hand, and there was no word for a long time, she had already taken precautions, hiding 50,000 loads of grain and grass a hundred miles away, which was exactly what he needed most, who would have thought that before his battle began, he was already eating his wife's rice and enjoying everything she had prepared for herself.

Chu Yao's thoughts surged, his eyes were gloomy, and the letter in his hand became heavy, and there were no strong words of lovesickness in it, only full of reluctance and embarrassment. She had no choice but to open her mouth because she cherished his many military affairs, and was embarrassed to add a private matter in Beijing for him to deal with. It's just a matter of effort, she will think like that, not unfamiliar, not polite, but a kind of love for him, if there is no love, how can she feel sorry for his busyness, how can she be reluctant to let him be distracted by other things?

She had already prepared for the lack of food here, so how could he not be grateful? Thinking of this, the hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and it was difficult to say a word.

And Shen Jue and He Dashan, who were standing in front of him, saw the rapid change of the prince's complexion, they were apprehensive in their hearts, and they didn't dare to disturb, after a long time, they still didn't wait for any words, and they were there, at a loss.

Mo Yun was guarding the door, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not respond for a long time, and he knew that Shen Jue was delivering food on behalf of the Shen family, which just solved the current urgent need. Now that Xu Chang and his party have been arrested, although the tiger charm has been obtained, the army's morale is still unstable, and the food and grass are not enough, which makes it even more difficult to march and fight.

"Master, do you have any news?" Mo Yun tried to ask Fan Zhanhong about raising food, and a few days ago, His Royal Highness wrote to him, knowing that he didn't reply so quickly, but he used this sentence to remind His Highness that these two people were here to deliver food, don't do it so dry.

Chu Yao pulled back his thoughts, glanced at Shen Jue, and looked at Shen Jue with scrutiny, which made Shen Jue's back cold.

Before leaving, his grandmother had already explained to him, and the original words were: "The girl's family is interested in you, if you are not serious, there can be many ways to deceive you, it is said that you were drunk in the restaurant that day, and it was not easy to get some blood to deceive you at that time?" But people didn't, and they still make you think that they have grabbed the handle and haven't forced you, as a man, what else do you want? Yueya explained those to me, and I also asked Shenglan to ask a lot of people in private, including the old bustard, the older generation of grandmothers who specialize in physical examination in the palace, and the holy hand of gynecology, so I believe what Yueya said, and I also think that the county lord of Anning is not lying, and now you are messing up, Yueya will clean up for you, you can do it yourself! ”

When he heard these words, Shen Jue was also a master of the six gods, and now he was glanced at by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he immediately felt a little weak, and his back was sweating.

"Wait for you to dine with Lone, Lone has something to say to you." Chu Yao saw that Shen Jue was so nervous, so he opened his mouth and said, It means these private matters, let's turn around and say, turned to look at He Dashan, and said: "The army is short of food and grass, you are sending charcoal in the snow, and the kindness of the Shen family is recorded alone." ”

After all, He Dashan has been polishing in the business for many years, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, although it is the first time to meet, he is a little nervous, but his face is much calmer, "The villain is just acting on orders, and the princess Niangniang also said that the grain and grass needed are far from enough, and the Shen family will do their best to raise it." ”

Chu Yao bowed his head, "It's hard work for the two of you." ”

At this time, the drum of war suddenly sounded outside, the heavy snow has closed the mountains in the past few days, and the two countries are recuperating and recuperating.

Hmph, the news of the country is so well-informed, it is enough to prove that there are people in the army who collaborate with the enemy and commit treason! Chu Yao's eyes were covered with coldness, and he gave a few words in Mo Yun's ear, and immediately went up to the city tower in leather armor to meet the battle.

And the general who played the vanguard of Xun Guo this time was Ye Luying, this person was impulsive and reckless, not a general who was good at fighting in Xun Guo, just thinking that Chu Yao had just taken over the army, and he was an elegant prince with no experience, thinking about bullying and bullying, exploring the truth and reality, if it was really a straw bag, he would just take advantage of the domestic fighting in China to have a large-scale attack.

If you take the opportunity to capture the Yuren Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and force the prince, who has never fought in a war, to retreat to thirty miles away, this will be a great good thing for the Xun Kingdom.

Xun Guo's idea, how could Chu Yao not know, although he had never been on the battlefield, but he also did not fight uncertain battles, yes, he stood on the city tower, looked at Yeluying standing on the chariot with clairvoyance, hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "Appoint Zhen Yuan as the general of the capital, Zhen Heming as the general of Li Feng, and immediately go to the battle!" ”

Zhen Yuan and Zhen Heming's father and son had just arrived at the city tower, and when they heard the prince's command, they immediately knocked on the leader's order. They were once suppressed by Mrs. Xu, and had to abandon their armor and return to the field, this time the prince had good intentions, deliberately brought them here secretly, and then was ordered to be in danger, so that Xun Guo was unexpected, and they were caught off guard.

Yes, where did Xun Guo think that the people of the Zhen family were back on the battlefield. How majestic the Zhen family was in the past, but because of the infighting in Huaguo, the Xun country lost a strong opponent.

Who would have thought that Chu Yao seemed to have expected that the Xun Kingdom would bully him for inexperience, and would send Ye Luying to shout here, deliberately determining the position of the Zhen family's general at the time of the war, and the Zhen family's father and son did not disgrace their mission, when they had no position before, the prince just let them secretly train 10,000 soldiers and horses, and as a result, these 10,000 soldiers and horses won a beautiful victory, which greatly boosted Chu Yao's military spirit.

The news of the victory in the first battle soon spread back to the court, of course, the news that Xu Chang had been secretly disposed of by Chu Yao did not report it, and Emperor Chengzhao also deliberately pressed not to ask more, this was to see the reaction of Xu Taifu.

And the Xu family is really panicked, as soon as the prince goes to the border, it must be unfavorable for Xu Chang, there is an uncle on the top, he can only respect and respect, the credit for winning the battle is the prince's leader, and the defeat is Xu Chang's back, which is the disadvantage of King Chong's failure to win the support of the troops that day. At this time, Xu Chang had no news, and Mrs. Xu had trouble sleeping.

In addition, the next day, Emperor Chengzhao issued a holy decree, which was to ask Chongwang Chu Xi to go to Yueyang, guard the border pass there, and not return to Beijing without a summons.

Although Yueyang is also a border pass, it is very different from the Yuren Pass where the prince went, Yueyang is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the imperial court does not pay much attention to it.

Empress Xu wanted to marry a concubine for King Chong, and asked the emperor to allow King Chong to marry a concubine before going to Yueyang. Emperor Chengzhao means that if you want to marry immediately, and then go directly to Yueyang, if King Chong is still unwilling to marry a concubine, then choose Princess Chong and then send it to Yueyang. Anyway, King Chong's immediate departure from Beijing is a certainty, and Queen Xu's method of delaying is completely cut off.

The civil and military officials in the court were also shocked, because Emperor Chengzhao had always favored the king and was not very close to the prince, so everyone felt that the prince's position was a little unstable before.

Now Emperor Chengzhao is resolute and resolute, and he seems to be in a hurry to remove all obstacles to the crown prince's accession to the throne, which has to be a big surprise.

You must know that although the crown prince is also at the border pass, it is completely different from the border pass where King Chong completely broke away from the center of imperial power. Emperor Chengzhao's intentions for the crown prince have all been revealed, it seems that he did not dislike the prince before, on the contrary, he should have placed high hopes on it.

It is said that Xu Taifu spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, fainted directly on the main hall, and did not wake up until King Chong left Beijing.

When Shen Hanyue received the news, she was not surprised at all, because when she was in the imperial study that day, Emperor Chengzhao decided to move the Ye family, and he was not afraid of involving the Xu family at all. If Emperor Chengzhao intends to pass on the throne to King Chong, how can he easily move the Xu family? Therefore, King Chong's trip to Yuanjiang is another kind of distribution, rather a kind of protection, and he must have found out the Xu family's plot to use the Ye family, so he directly isolated King Chong in this way.

Shen Hanyue sighed in her heart, King Chong is far away from the capital, for the time being, it is better, she can worry less. But in terms of the long term, there must be long-term worries. King Chong looked at her, and she knew that this person would be entangled. So if he stays in Yueyang all the time, then it will be really difficult to get rid of him.
