Chapter Forty-Seven: The Matter of Grain and Grass

Shen Yanjiao sat at the table, eating melon seeds and peanuts while eating the wine on the table, but the melon seeds and shell crumbs were thrown all over the place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmph, leave me alone, Ah Lian...... Lotus...... Say yes...... But you left me alone! Shen Yanjiao muttered, her eyes were already squinting and she couldn't open them, and her body slid weakly under the table.

Shen Yanjiao did not usher in the expected pain, but fell into a warm and soft embrace. "Well, it's so comfortable, Ah Lian...... You're back......" Shen Yanjiao said as she rubbed, the soft feeling made her feel very relieved.

"Jiao'er, I'm sorry for coming back late!" Bright as an ethereal voice, accompanied by a hint of drunken hoarseness, the prince Wei Shenglian said to the little man in his arms, although he didn't know why Shen Yanjiao called herself Ah Lian, but this familiar feeling seemed as if the two had known each other for a long time, as if they had always called each other like this......

Wei Shenglian also felt very relieved, he picked up Shen Yanjiao's petite body and came to the bedside, gently put her down, looking at her sleeping face, the cheeks red from drinking too much wine, and the small mouth that occasionally pouted, and the corners of her mouth also rose.

His lady is a cute little goblin......

Carefully covered Shen Yanjiao with the quilt, Wei Shenglian did not stay, took a deep look at Shen Yanjiao's sleeping face, suppressed the inexplicable heat in her body, and her eyes under Wei Shenglian's mask shone with a faint light, and then left without looking back.

Shen Yanjiao, who was covered with a quilt on the bed, turned over at this time and continued to dream, and slept so deeply.

The next day, Shen Yanjiao was woken up from the bed by neon early in the morning, as soon as Shen Yanjiao opened her eyes, she hurriedly jumped up from the bed, she hurriedly looked down, and saw that she was still dressed neatly, no different from before she fell asleep, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put her heart back into her stomach.

Although she was married to the prince in her name, she was not ready to give herself to him, she patted her head fiercely, blaming herself for being drunk and unconscious, and if anything strange happened later, she couldn't even remember a memory fragment.

But now it looks like they haven't gotten there yet...... One step, right?

Neon looked at the bed, blushed slightly and said to Shen Yanjiao, "Miss, you ...... last night And the Prince, is that one? ”

Shen Yanjiao's face turned red, she didn't expect Neon to ask her so directly. She shook her head shyly, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly: "No ......"

"Why! On this wedding night, you and the prince ......" Ni Neon was anxious when she heard this, and her voice doubled and said, but halfway through the words, she was interrupted by Shen Yanjiao with a red face, and she was so anxious that she whispered to Neon: "I was hungry and drunk for a while, so I got drunk...... I was only woken up by you, and it should have been last night...... Nothing happened! ”

Neon rolled her eyes speechlessly, this really looked like something her young lady would do.

After washing, the prince's order came from the front yard, saying that there was no need to enter the palace to ask for peace today, and he went to the court.

Shen Yanjiao breathed a sigh of relief, she was not ready to see Wei Shenglian until now, from yesterday's wedding to the time when she was going to live together now and in the future, she was full of embarrassment when she saw each other, and she only felt that she would feel a little more comfortable if she could get along with each other a little less.

After eating early, Shen Yanjiao walked around this mansion, the prince's mansion is much larger than her small courtyard, looking at this magnificent mansion and the servants who are busy coming and going, Shen Yanjiao secretly smacked her tongue in her heart, how much does it cost to build, and he has raised so many people to serve him, sure enough, the royal family is rich, and the living is the best......

After walking around, Shen Yanjiao, who had nothing to do, began to worry...... What should I do, after getting married, my life is more leisurely......

……

At this time, the court was noisy.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this grain and grass should be collected and transported to Shentang Pass as soon as possible, otherwise General Shen may not be able to support it! As soon as the Shentang Pass is broken, the president will drive straight into the capital, and at that time, my Central Plains will be in danger! Liang Yuan said with a sad face, just as soon as he mentioned this little bit of food and grass, a large number of people came out to oppose it, and the words secretly pointed out that Shen Hong was useless, and the troops were more than the enemy, but he delayed for a few days and did not repel the enemy army, but suffered heavy losses and curled up in a pass, and even dared to ask for food and grass!

Just those mediocre soldiers? Liang Yuan smiled bitterly, maybe except that His Majesty was really blinded in the dark and didn't know the truth, who was left in the court who didn't understand that there was something in this matter?

It's just that no one will say it, and even if it does, the emperor won't believe it!

There is no one in the 300,000 army, all of them are mediocre soldiers and reckless people, and few people will believe it!

It's just that the enemy is at the head, and those ministers are still here only concerned about the dispute between the parties and the party, whether it is a useful proposal or not, as long as it is proposed by the other party, they will all find an excuse to veto it, Liang Yuan saw it in his eyes, and sighed silently in his heart.

Liang Yuan has been going back and forth for his daughter and grain and grass these days, and in the end, the result is still not as good as people want, not only causing his daughter to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but also distrusting his brothers and friends to not persuade the emperor to allocate grain and grass, which made him feel deeply frustrated and anxious.

The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be to the people on the frontier who were resisting the enemy army, and how could he not be in a hurry when his son and his best friends, as well as the people of the Central Plains, were there to resist the enemy's attack?

But what's the use of being anxious, the emperor's heart is obviously gradually tilted to the other side.

Since the suppression of the Nanban rebel party, the eldest prince Wei Shenghao has passed the test along the way, and has kept sending good news to Beijing, which makes the emperor a dragon face and a great joy, and he is greatly appreciated.

In contrast, Shen Hong's defeat and retreat, and no achievements made the emperor quite unhappy, he gave Shen Hong high expectations, and even gave his daughter to the crown prince as a concubine, but unexpectedly only ushered in these news, how could he be satisfied?

Frowning, the emperor was also thinking about how to solve this matter, after all, if such a huge army was stationed there, the rations for more than 100,000 people a day were not a small amount, and at this time, it was impossible to retreat.

Wei Shenglian looked thoughtful, and after thinking for a while, he walked out of the crowd and played to the emperor: "Father, the son has one or two strategies, I don't know if I can say it?" ”

The emperor nodded and said, "If the prince has any thoughts, just say it and listen to it." ”

Wei Shenglian glanced at the ministers who were still arguing, her cold eyes swept over, and everyone was immediately silent, looking at him and not daring to say another word.

Seeing that they stopped talking, Wei Shenglian said to the emperor: "Erchen is willing to personally escort a part of the grain and grass to the northern Xinjiang to supervise the right of the army, if General Shen is really derelict in his duties, Erchen can take over the army for his father, if there is really a difficulty, Erchen can also send grain and grass to the surrounding cities to support." “

Wei Shenglian's suggestion is very tempting, but there is one thing he didn't explain, he is now asking the emperor for power in disguise, not only to supervise the army, but also to receive the army.

The ministers also thought of this, but no one dared to come out and say a word to add a kick.

The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, he looked at Wei Shenglian, and did not speak, as if he was examining something.

Wei Shenglian looked calm, standing there for the emperor to scrutinize, he was sitting upright, and he didn't do anything wrong, so when he looked at his father, he was not afraid.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, Wei Shenglian's initiative to ask for Ying made him feel very surprised, but seeing that his attitude was indeed sincere, he responded to his request, granted Wei Shenglian the position of supervising the army, and dispatched 200,000 stone grain and grass to Wei Shenglian to escort to the north to support.

200,000 stone of grain is not too much, but it is enough for 200,000 people to eat three meals a day for about 10 days.

After going down, Liang Yuan quickly caught up with the prince who was walking in front, and after saluting, he said gratefully: "Today's matter is thanks to the help of the prince, otherwise, the old minister really doesn't know what to do, it's really ashamed!" ”

Wei Shenglian replied: "The prime minister doesn't have to be polite, the prime minister has a heart for the country and the people, and so do I, all for the people, it doesn't matter whether I thank or not." After saying that, he nodded and turned to leave.

Liang Yuan watched the figure of the prince gradually disappear behind him, but he thought in his heart, the current emperor ...... It would be nice if there was a prince who was generally saintish! With a sigh, Liang Yuan also left the palace and returned home.

As soon as Wei Shenglian returned to the mansion, he asked people to summon Shen Yanjiao, who was already the crown princess, to the main hall to talk, when Shen Yanjiao hurriedly arrived, the first thing that caught her eye was Wei Shenglian's back, just like yesterday, she looked slender and straight, and her figure was well-proportioned, but it seemed to have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, which made people can't help but want to see his true face.

Hearing Shen Yanjiao's footsteps, Wei Shenglian turned around, Shen Yanjiao's heart was a little excited, but before her little heart could beat, she saw the golden mask that covered the prince's face, which made her quite disappointed for a while.

"See the Prince!" Shen Yanjiao bowed, the prince nodded lightly, looked at Shen Yanjiao, and asked, "Are you still used to it?" ”

Well? What habits are not used to? Shen Yanjiao was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Wei Shenglian asked her if she was used to living in Xi, and nodded hurriedly and replied: "Habitual, don't worry, prince." ”

The prince nodded, and there was an awkward silence again, and after a while, the prince took the lead in asking: "In a few days, I will travel to the north with grain and grass, ...... Going? ”
