Chapter 90: Comforting the Silver Moon and Yulan Entering the Palace

It's really called Ye Yichen right, but in just a few days, the emergency military information document of Wang Gu, the governor of Xuanda, was put on the case of the orthodox emperor Long. The Tuwu Khan entangled the eight coalition forces, and Chen had 100,000 soldiers outside the city, and he could launch an offensive at any time. In fact, a few months ago, Wang Gu had a note on Chen, saying that this year, the grassland tribe was suddenly hit by a catastrophe, the snow was too heavy, countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death, and the herdsmen lacked medical care and food, and the next year would definitely launch an invasion, and asked the imperial court to prepare early.

The northern border troubles have never been truly resolved after several dynasties. The Beijing division is located in the Yanyou important place, when Taizu chose the Beijing division as the capital, it really has the meaning of "the Son of Heaven guards the country", the Son of Heaven is naturally heavy troops, and the mobilization of grain, grass, soldiers and horses is relatively timely, which has a great effect on the resistance of foreign enemies, but on the other hand, as long as the abrupt people break through the line of the Great Wall, the hinterland of the Beijing division will immediately be exposed under the grassland iron horse, Taizu has ambitions, is a promising army, of course there is no problem in doing so, and the orthodox emperor who has no ambition and lofty ambitions will be a little bitter- Every time a sudden person invades, it makes it difficult for him to sleep and eat, and it is not good that people will hit him under his nose in the blink of an eye.

Although the orthodox emperor was cowardly, he also knew the seriousness of the problem. Therefore, as soon as he received Wang Gu's recital, he immediately approved the military department, asking to strengthen the border reserves, and the military department also made a plan for mobilizing troops, and once something happened, he immediately transferred the soldiers and horses of several northern provinces to support the border towns.

This time, the orthodox emperor immediately thought of this matter when he saw Wang Gu Zuoshu, and immediately summoned several cabinet ministers and the military department into the palace, preparing to mobilize troops and horses immediately. Who knew that when Shangshu of the Ministry of War saw the emperor, he began to cry: Your Majesty, I am afraid that the original troop transfer plan will not be successful.

The emperor was taken aback when he heard this, and asked anxiously what was going on. The military department Shangshu knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his head, and slowly spit out two words from his mouth, which were clear and clear: no money!

In the 60 years since the founding of the Great Chu, there have been abrupt people in the northwest who have been constantly intruding, there are Jurchens in the northeast who are ready to move, and there is a Shu Han country in the southwest that can jump out at any time to provoke it, plus dredge the canal, every year there are large and small droughts and floods, and the emperor is an indulgent and hedonistic person, and the silver in the treasury has never been rich since the founding of the country. The face of the bank, who manages the treasury of Taicang, is darker than the other.

Fighting a war is a waste of money, and the same is true for troop transfers. According to the rules, before starting out, you must first give those big-headed soldiers half a month's salary, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, who will give you your life if you don't have money to earn. Nearly 100,000 people have weapons and clothing, which is a large amount of expenditure, and people eat and chew horses, and they don't need money for food and grass, and they don't need money, and if they don't have any money, the military department can't move troops even if they issue an order.

The emperor was so angry that he slapped the armrest of the chair and asked, "Where did all the money go?" As a result, as soon as Tobe Shangshu explained, he understood. A few days ago, Jiang Yue asked for money, saying that the soldiers and horses had not moved the grain and grass first, so I had to give some military expenses to fight with the troops first, and he was the candidate for the governor of the three sides who was personally selected by the orthodox emperor, of course he had to support it, so he waved his pen: Accurate!

So 600,000 taels of silver were paid to Jiang Yue to suppress the bandits. The emperor still didn't believe it, and the treasury would run out of money after spending 600,000 taels of silver? The head of the household had to be counted for him one by one, the palace cost money for the New Year, the queen mother died and the funeral cost a lot of money, and the prince's wedding was a lot of money, and the household department finally saved a few silver, and it was spent in a few clicks. This month, tens of thousands of officials of all sizes in Beijing can't send out!

The orthodox emperor also had a headache when he sat on the dragon chair. A meeting ended in a hurry. Yang Peishi went back and thought about it for a night, and the next day he handed over a sign to ask to see him, and the emperor summoned him on the platform. Yang Peishi said a lot of words in the fog cover of Yunshan Mountain, from the three emperors and five emperors to Taizu Taizong, the orthodox emperor finally understood, and summed it up in these words: Now that the treasury has no money, and the country is facing a catastrophe, your old man is the emperor, so he should be the first in the world, take out your private money first, and let the soldiers and horses of the provinces hurry up to support the front line!

When Zhengtong heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle. Although that is said, the whole world is the emperor, but the emperor's private money and the treasury silver are two different things, the inner treasury silver is used by the emperor is a matter of one sentence, and the treasury silver, even the emperor can't spend it indiscriminately. If you really dare to spend money, the next day there will be an official from the imperial historian to scold you! Although the imperial power of Great Chu is heavy, there is still a Taoist system above the imperial power! With this kind of moral requirement, the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

Therefore, in order to ensure that they live a chic life, the orthodox private money is resolutely unwilling to pay. Orthodoxy was strictly rejected.

Yang Peishi didn't say anything, and the next day he came again with the Hubu Shangshu, and the two old men turned over and over, it was still the same as yesterday, and the orthodox emperor wanted to be angry and had no excuse, so he still resolutely refused to do it.

On the third day, Yang Peishi brought the secretary of the military department in addition to the book of the household department. The orthodox emperor's heart was already shaken, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to agree.

On the fourth day, Yang Peishi added a few cabinet ministers, watching a group of old men kneeling on the ground and crying and communicating, opening his mouth to say the words of the sage, closing his mouth The world is important, the orthodox emperor is originally soft, at this time, he can't bear it anyway, he can't help but look up to the sky and sigh, it's not easy to be the emperor, it's not easy to get two money, and these courtiers are still thinking about it, am I easy!

The emperor finally gave in, the money was available, and the military horses from all over the country finally began to move. At this time, the envoys of Shu Han began to jump out again, the emperor, we ask to marry the princess? After waiting for so many days, it's time to give us a letter. The envoy also heard that there was a rebellion in the northwest of Great Chu, and the northern border was full of war clouds, and the envoy's waist was also straight: If you don't agree, don't blame us Shu Han for turning his face and being ruthless, when the time comes, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield. The envoy added: Don't fool us with a fake princess!

Originally, the prince and princess of Yanqing had already begged the emperor, and the queen also helped to speak, ready to stuff a palace person to Shu Han casually, and before leaving, she would recognize her as the queen's daughter. In this situation, the orthodox emperor hesitated again. In case this fake princess arrives in Shu Han, and really provokes Shu Han to send troops, he will start the battlefield on the third line, and most of his inner library has been emptied in order to surprise people, and if Shu Han comes out and jumps twice, he really has to take off the dragon underwear.

The holy decree was sent to the palace of Yanqing County: Yinyue was named Princess Hejing, and married Liu Zhang, the prince of Shu Han, in order to permanently consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Dachu is now the period of national mourning, so the emperor gave Yinyue a one-month deadline to prepare, and a month later he sent an envoy to send Yinyue to the territory of Shu Han. When it comes to Shu Han, when Liu Zhang and Yinyue get married, the orthodox emperor can't control it.

When Yinyue received the order, Yinyue's face turned pale, and Princess Yanqing fainted on the spot. That night, the prince and his wife came to Yang's mansion, and Princess Yanqing dragged her sick body to see Yang Peishi. The three of them talked in the secret room for an hour, and Yang Peishi was powerless to change this result.

Princess Yanqing still wanted to enter the palace to beg the emperor, but was stopped by Yang Peishi. No one knows better than him that the emperor's mood is really bad!

After sending away the prince and his wife from Yanqing County, Yang Peishi also felt that he was a little sorry for his granddaughter, so he called his three sons in and told them that Yinyue was about to marry far away, and asked the people in the inner courtyard to walk around more!

The old lady said that the Yang Mansion was a golden rule, and after the three sons went back, they immediately conveyed the spirit of the old lady's instructions to the daughter-in-law. Since the death of the Queen Mother, the eldest wife's illness has not been cured, and the fifth wife is very happy and hurt when she is pregnant with a child. So the next day, the second wife, the fifth girl, the seventh girl, and the ninth girl arrived at the Yanqing Palace.

A few people went to visit Princess Yanqing first, but after not seeing each other for a day, Princess Yanqing seemed to be three points old, grabbed the second wife's hand and shed tears: "Second sister-in-law, why is my Yue'er so miserable!" ”

The second wife had to persuade her: "Now that the holy decree has been issued, Chengdu, the capital of Shu Han, is known as the country of abundance, and it is also a good place, Yue'er is married to the prince of Shu Han, I heard that the current lord of Shu Han is in very poor health, and in a few years, the prince will ascend the throne, and Yue'er will be the queen ......of Shu Han." The second wife has always been a human being, and Yulan found out that her ability to persuade people is not bad, which made her a little impressed.

The two older generations were talking, and the second wife instructed a few children to go and see Yinyue first. The three sisters were handsome and well-trained, and the maid led them down to the small courtyard of Yinyue. The air pressure in the courtyard was low, and the maids walked silently.

When the maid came in to report, there happened to be someone in Yinyue's room, but it was Ye Minchun. Ye Minchun also said with a miserable expression: "I went to see the prince, and the prince said that the emperor's will has been made, and he has no way!" ”

Yinyue said: "Second brother, why do you have to do this, I have long advised you not to go to the prince, don't you know what he is doing, the emperor has a great temper, it is too late to hide from the emperor at this time, where do you dare to go forward!" ”

"Seeing that my sister is about to jump into the fire pit, there is a glimmer of hope, and I will give it a try!" Both siblings were a little silent at this point.

At this time, the little maid shouted through the curtain: "Miss Yang Wu, Miss Yang Qi, and Miss Yang Jiu have come to see the princess!" ”

Yinyue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "She's finally here!" "It's her, not them. The so-called her, of course, is Yulan.

Then he stood up and said; "Brother and I will go with me to meet some cousins!"

Ye Minchun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that Yulan was also coming, since that private meeting in the Yang Mansion, he had already made up his mind to forget Yulan from his mind, but how could this kind of thing be forgotten and forgotten, the more he wanted to forget it, the more he remembered her in his heart.

Ye Minchun's heart turned a thousand times, and Yinyue had already pulled him out of the room.

When the three Yulan sisters saw the curtain lifted, Yinyue and Ye Minchun came out together, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a bright light flashed in Yuxia's eyes. Now that the four girls and the eight girls in the big house are married, the seven girls' relatives are almost inseparable, and now she is the only one who is empty. Aunt Liu has been in a hurry for a long time. The crown princess doesn't have to think about it, it would be good if she could be her cousin's wife. Yuxia thought like this, so she glanced at Ye Minchun a few more times without a trace.

But when she saw that Ye Minchun tried her best to hide it, her eyes kept fixing on Yulan's body. I couldn't help but feel resentment and jealousy.

"See the princess!" "I've seen my cousin!" The three girls were blessed, and the Ye Minchun brothers and sisters hurriedly returned the gift. If he wanted to enter the house, it would not be good for Ye Minchun to follow up again, so Yinyue was not in a hurry to invite the three of them in. A few people exchanged a few words at the door, and Ye Minchun couldn't help but ask about Yulan's current situation after all.

Only then did he reluctantly leave the Silver Moon Courtyard.

Yinyue let the three sisters into the hall. A few people sat down separately, but Yinyue smiled to herself: "It's a sin that I disturbed my second aunt and several sisters in this little thing!" ”

Yinyue is wearing a light purple jacket today, with eight Hunan skirts in honey color on the bottom, and a whole piece of mutton fat white jade carved into a lotus-shaped hosta on her head. There is no trace of decadence and depression as few people imagine.

From the past Yinyue to the Yang Mansion to walk around, and did not care much about Yuxia, Yuxia has long been dissatisfied with her, yesterday learned that she was about to marry Shu Han and relatives, Yuxia was very happy, today is to visit and comfort the head, Tete is dressed neatly is actually ready to see Yinyue Yangxiang, I didn't expect to see this look, Yuxia immediately felt depressed and disappointed.

Yulan couldn't help but admire this cousin, changed to a random girl, knowing that she was about to marry thousands of miles away, I am afraid that she would be flustered, tears in her eyes, just this calm kung fu Yinyue is better than ordinary women.

Therefore, as soon as Yulan sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Cousin, are you okay?" ”
