Mo Qianling and the ministers were still discussing the boundary matter, and they talked for two hours.

It was already noon when the ministers came out.

Seeing Xiao Jing standing outside, Xiao Zhengwen hurriedly walked over, "Why are you here?" ”

"I heard that there is a shortage of grain on the border, and now the treasury is empty, and the emperor can't find any miscellaneous grain......" Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Zhengwen, her face was full of anxiety, Xiao Zhengwen suddenly understood something, it seems that the rumors some time ago are not groundless, and they are false.

"Yes! I originally recommended myself and asked the emperor to let me have miscellaneous grains, but the emperor rejected it, and the court and the central government can't do without me now......" Speaking of this, Xiao Zhengwen was also worried.

"I'm going to meet the emperor......"

With that, Xiao Jing took her dress up the steps and entered the imperial study nobly and elegantly.

The Emperor rubbed his temples, looking a little tired.

"The ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Xiao Jing saluted respectfully, "Looking at the emperor's appearance, he seems to be a little tired, it's time to get a good night's sleep!" "A shallow smile is particularly heartwarming.

Before the emperor could speak, Xiao Jing took the initiative to step forward, "How many stitches will the minister prick for the emperor?" ”

"Imperial Doctor Xiao came to me, I'm afraid it's not for a few stitches!" Looking at Xiao Jing, Mo Qianling wanted to laugh a little, this woman who she wanted to get rid of a month ago was still standing in front of her.

"The emperor is the emperor of the entire Xixia Kingdom, saving you is saving the entire Xixia Kingdom, the emperor wasted a lot of time thinking day and night, didn't he still find the right person?" took out a small bag from the cuff, this is a necessary thing for Xiao Jing to travel, one can defend herself, and the other can save people.

Mo Qianchen didn't resist, "Listen to the meaning of Imperial Doctor Xiao, there is already a candidate in mind?" "The Western Xia Kingdom has been peaceful and peaceful for many years, and there are no wars, so there is gradually a bit of emphasis on literature and light on military force, and now there are very few military generals in the DPRK and China, and I finally know that I have suffered a loss.

"Is the emperor too anxious to ignore some people?" Xiao Jing took out the needle, pricked a few needles on his head, instantly felt a lot lighter in his head, and looked up at Xiao Jing, "If you have someone in your heart, say it, whether you take the test or not, it's my business~"

"Chu Shangshu's father and daughter, Zhou Jinyu, the son of the Ministry of Rites......" Xiao Jing smiled slightly, "The emperor will definitely ask the ministers, why are the three of them ......"

"Say ......" Mo Qianling was shocked in his heart, he thought about it up and down, and never decided on Chu Shangshu, Chu Shangshu was a military general when he was young, and he was also brave and good at fighting, but unfortunately when he was older, now that Xiao Jing said it, there must be her reasons, and it is not bad to listen to his reasons.

"Chu Shangshu was a general when he was young, he had prestige in the army, and he was loyal to the emperor, although he was a little older, but the battle of Meizhou made the ministers look at him differently, his physical strength and strategy were definitely not much worse than those of young people, plus Lord Chu, although Lord Chu was a woman, but he was also strong and brave in martial arts, Zhou Jinyu is a rare talent in the younger generation, and he will definitely be able to take on great responsibilities in the future with a little training, these people have shown merit in Meizhou, and the Praetorian Guard has also shared ups and downs, The emperor can let the Praetorian Guards personally press and send grain and grass this time, presumably there will be no mistakes, and in addition, there are very few generals that can be used in my Western Xia Kingdom, why not take this opportunity to ring the bell for the ministers of the DPRK and China? "It is also to ring the bell for you, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while, and you can't waste them because you don't use them for a while......

"Chu Xinran, Zhou Jinyu...... So who should temporarily replace the position of the military department? There's no way to leave it empty, right? ”

"There is ......"

"Say ......"

"Fu Hanche ......"

Although Fu Hanche is the champion of literature, his martial arts are not weak, and he is also a person with clean sleeves and great wisdom, and he will definitely not live up to the position of the secretary of the military department.

"I forgot about him, today he held a champion banquet, it's time to give him an errand, if Chu Shangshu didn't successfully press the grain and grass to the border this time, Xiao Jing ...... I'll ask you......"

"Obey." At this moment, Xiao Jing's mood is extremely calm, if the grain and grass can't be pressed against the boundary this time, Mo Qianchen will definitely be more auspicious, it's a big deal, he will accompany him......

"Well, I'm going to Qinghua Palace, but do you want to go together?" Mo Qianling smiled faintly, looked at Xiao Jing and asked, for some reason, looking at her at this time was particularly pleasing to the eye.

"No need, it's not early, and the minister has to rush back to attend Fu Zhuangyuan's champion banquet."

"Let's go back then!" Mo Qianling waved his hand, feeling that he was extremely relaxed at the moment, although he had already decided in his heart that Xiao Jing's method would not make too many mistakes, he still couldn't help but tease him.

Xiao Jing nodded slightly and exited the imperial study......

Chu Shangshu and Xiao Zhengwen were both there, Xiao Jing stepped forward and first saluted Chu Shangshu, which made Chu Shangshu a little confused by the second monk "This ......" Everyone is a second grade, this Xiao Jing saluted him, there must be a reason "If you have something to say, it is ......"

"Chu Shangshu, please forgive Xiao Jing for recommending to the emperor that you and Xinran escort the grain and grass together before asking you for instructions, but please rest assured, if the grain and grass do not reach the border, Xiao Jing will bear all the responsibilities alone...... It's just that Xiao Jing didn't know whether the road was safe or not, and asked Chu Shangshu to forgive him...... Xiao Jing felt guilty in his heart, no matter how he said it, it was all related to people's safety, and this time he also added a Chu Xinran.

"So...... The emperor agreed? ”

Chu Shangshu did not blame, but asked Xiao Jing rhetorically.

"Although I didn't reply directly, it seems that it's eight or nine......

"Hahahaha...... Just now I also discussed with your father, how to recommend me to the emperor to escort the grain and grass, and now you have done this, but it has saved a lot of trouble~ As for Xinran, I am afraid that if you don't ask her, you will ask for a decree to follow, but now it is all done. Chu Shangshu laughed, without the slightest hint of blame, and pulled Xiao Zhengwen to discuss the next step.

The grain and grass were robbed this time, presumably inseparable from King Rui, without grain and grass, the border must not be held for a long time, the military spirit is unstable, and the people are panicked, so that the north can leave the country and take advantage of the opportunity, he can have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos, even if there is no chance to take the position, he can get rid of Mo Qianchen, no matter how he has the advantage.

Xiao Jing turned her head and looked at the magnificent palace, shining with gold for the throne, always shining in the eyes of countless people, attracting the hearts of countless people, brothers and sisters, flesh and blood, compared to it, it is nothing, it is really terrifying.

When they returned to the Fu Mansion, the guests were still enjoying the flowers and talking, Shangguan Lanxue couldn't see Xiao Jing, and had already returned to the Zhongyong Mansion, but Chu Xinran and Xiao Jing missed the time, and were sitting on the side and watching quietly.

She has the most patriotic heart and dedication to the country, and she must have heard of the border war, and she was ready to go all night to participate in it! If it is a man, this courage must be appreciated by everyone, but it is a pity that he voted for his daughter, it is not easy to be a fourth-grade female official, if he reaches the border, he must be looked down upon everywhere, thinking of this, Xiao Jing stepped forward and took her hand, "Be careful!" ”

"You too!" There were no superfluous words, and no blame, the two looked at each other, and their smiles coincided.

"We will always be good sisters~"

The most suitable person to escort grain and grass is their father and daughter, going to the battlefield, that is what Chu Xinran dreamed of, although this time she is only responsible for escorting grain and grass, but Xiao Jing also knows that this war does not stop, she will not come back.

"I'll talk about it when I come back alive~" Xiao Jing grabbed her hand tightly, worry, fear, all written on her face, without hypocrisy.

"Of course." She smiled and nodded, and pulled out her hand to put it on her hand.

If Xiao Jing was still a little wary of Chu Xinran before, then at this moment, it completely collapsed.

She admits that she is selfish, for the sake of Mo Qianchen, but if one day, she wants to exchange her life for Chu Xinran's life, she Xiao Jing will definitely not blink an eye.

The two girls suddenly hugged each other, purple and blue intersected, without any disobedience.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, Mo Qianling issued an order, ordering Chu Shangshu, Chu Xinran, Zhou Jinyu and a newly appointed commander of the Praetorian Guard to escort grain and grass together until the border, and Fu Han Che, the champion of the army, took the post of Shangshu of the military department until Chu Shangshu returned.

In such a hurry, let the DPRK and China talk about it, but they did not dare to raise objections, after all, this is the best way at present.

Xiao Jing didn't dare to lock herself up in Mantuoyuan at will, because she was afraid of missing any more news, so she took the initiative to take over the Xiao family's industries outside, such as silk thread fabrics, tea houses, restaurants and other shops.

Although Mo Qianchen was not in Xixia City, the shop under his name was not messy, and it was only taken care of in an orderly manner, presumably by a master, Xiao Jing was too lazy to take care of it, and concentrated on managing his own shop.

On this day, Xiao Jing was out to check the accounts, and went to her own tea house to drink tea near noon, and happened to meet Xiao Qing, who had not been out for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Jing, she was overjoyed and greeted "Big Sister ......"

Xiao Jing was also slightly surprised: "Why is the second sister here?" ”

"Today, my aunt asked me to come out to buy silk thread, and I will sit here for a while when I am tired, why is my big sister here?"

"Mrs. Li's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she can't handle the matter of the shop anymore, so she handed it over to me, and she came out to see the shop today......"

Xiao Jing paid attention to Xiao Qing's expression, although she was still smiling, but there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes, which made Xiao Jing catch it, no matter how a person can deceive people, her eyes can always easily betray her mind, such as Xiao Qing at this moment.

"That must be exhausting, sit down!" Xiao Qing was quite enthusiastic, and took the initiative to beckon Xiao Jing to sit down, looking like a sister who had not seen her for a long time.

Xiao Jing didn't shirk either, and sat on the right side listening to her arrangement.

This is a small private room in the teahouse, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, Xiao Er is on the Biluochun that Xiao Jing usually drinks, it can be seen that Xiao Qing has long known that she will come, and she has just arrived......

Don't...... She stalks herself? This is Xiao Jing's first thought of possibility, just now someone downstairs bumped into herself, presumably she also arranged it, she can take advantage of the chaos to go upstairs first, pretend to be a coincidence, and invite herself to drink tea with her, so ...... What is her purpose?
