Gu Yunxin was asleep in the quilt, felt a chill, and couldn't help shrinking into the quilt.

"Master, it's snowing outside, so the slave will give you some more silver charcoal." Red Silk walked in with a basket of silver charcoal.

"Well, is it snowing outside? No wonder I feel a little cold. Gu Yunxin smiled lightly.

"Yes, this is our first snow in Kyoto. What do you want to eat later? The slave and maid went to prepare. Hongxuan said softly.

"Hmm...... There's nothing special you want to eat, just make some and eat it. The month is older, but it is more lazy. Gu Yunxin smiled lightly.

As soon as the words fell, the child in the stomach kicked it, as if in protest, Gu Yunxin chuckled and stroked his stomach, "Okay, baby, my mother said that she was lazy, and she didn't say anything about you." ”

"Then go and prepare some red date porridge for the master." Hongxuan said softly.

"yes, okay." Gu Yunxin said softly. Seeing that it was still a little dark outside, Gu Yunxin retracted into the quilt again and lay down.

At that time, a fast horse rushed into the streets of Kyoto, and this man carried a command flag on his back, which allowed him to pass all the way unhindered.

"Who's coming? Registered? When this man walked to the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards guarding the palace gate.

"I was sent by His Royal Highness King Guan Rui of Tangting, and I have something important to report to the emperor. This is the token of the prince. The man held a token high above his head and tossed it to the guards standing on the palace wall.

The guards checked it carefully, and sure enough, it was the token of King Rui, and the tokens of the Great Zhou Dynasty had certain regulations on the royal family, which were used in different situations, and this token was the token of King Rui's order.

The guards quickly opened the palace gate, and after letting the people in, they closed the palace gate again.

When the soldier entered the palace gate, he turned over and dismounted, found a guard, and walked briskly towards the emperor's imperial study.

"Gonggong Zhang, Tang Tingguan, His Royal Highness King Rui has sent someone, can the emperor see him now?" The little eunuch guarding outside the imperial study whispered to Zhang Qing.

"It was sent by King Guan Rui of Tang Ting?" Zhang Qing wondered.

"Yes, there's also the prince's token." With that, Xiao Tai handed the token to Zhang Qing's hand.

Zhang Qing looked at it carefully, and the token was real. After thinking for a moment, he turned and entered the room.

After a while, I saw Zhang Qing step out and say to the soldier, "Come in." ”

The soldier followed Zhang Qing and walked in, knelt down and saluted the emperor, "The little one sees the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

"Calm down, King Rui sent you here, but what's the matter at the border pass?" The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grain and grass that Mrs. Gu brought to the border was burned by someone ten days ago. The soldier who burned the grain and grass also committed suicide. The soldier said in a deep voice.

"What?" The emperor got up suddenly, his head was dizzy, and the grain and grass escorted by Gu Taifu were half of the grain in Kyoto, and a large part of them were with the rich officials in Kyoto

raised, and the rest was procured by Mrs. Gu all the way.

It is not easy to raise so much grain and grass and escort it over smoothly, how could such a thing happen at this critical juncture?

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor, the soldier who burned grain and grass only said that he was also forced, if he didn't do it, his family would die, and then he committed suicide." The soldier said respectfully.

"What's the soldier's name, and where is he from? I will destroy his nine tribes. The Emperor said angrily.

"The emperor is angry, this roster of soldiers is with the prince, why don't we wait for the prince to come back and then deal with it?" Zhang Qing comforted softly.

He knew the emperor's temper very well, and the emperor didn't really want to kill the soldier's nine clans, but he was just angry for a while.

"You go back and tell King Rui first, let him not worry, I will think of raising food and grass as soon as possible." The emperor said in a deep voice.

After Zhang Qing sent the soldier out of the palace, he returned to the imperial study to wait for the emperor to change his court clothes and prepare to go to court.

Above the court, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were on both sides, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at these courtiers in front of him without saying a word.

"I heard news about the border today." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Father, what's going on at the border? Isn't that Beiliang increased his troops? The prince said hurriedly.

"No, it's because there are people in this court who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country." The Emperor said angrily.

What kind of collaborator and traitor? This is a capital crime to destroy the Nine Clans, who would do this desperately?

"Father, how can there be a collaborator and traitor, the war at the border pass, hasn't Brother Rui always handled it very well? Even the emperor of Beiliang has been beaten and shrunk in the barracks and dare not come out. King Ding said with a smile.

"You know the border pass very well, better than me?" The Emperor said angrily.

Hearing this, King Ding was busy kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, and he was really carried away, why did he leak his mouth? The emperor rarely talked about the border pass in the court, and if King Rui had any military reports, he sent someone to secretly send them to the emperor.

"Father, the son is wronged, the son just thinks that Brother Rui is so invincible, so he thinks that the Emperor of Beiliang is beaten and doesn't dare to come out." King Ding knelt down and said.

"Hmph, you were wronged? You are not wronged, you know best in your heart, don't think that I am reluctant to do you, if you don't know how to restrain yourself, I don't care about you as a son. The Emperor said angrily.

"Yes, yes, Erchen knows that he is wrong, and Erchen knows that he is wrong." King Ding hurriedly kowtowed.

"What I want to tell you today is that part of the grain and grass in Tangting Pass is used by the people in the city near King Rui, and they still need to continue to raise grain and grass to send to the border pass, I don't know which Aiqing has a way?" The emperor looked at the courtiers in the main hall and said.

"Your Majesty, the grain harvest in the north is not in place this year, and part of the grain and grass in the south has been bought by Mrs. Gu

Fang's people have nothing to eat. Ning Guohou said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the matter of grain and grass still has to be discussed in the long run, or, we can borrow grain from Nanchu, and the friendship between the Emperor of Nanchu and King Rui, he will definitely not refuse." Lin Xiang said lightly.

The emperor glanced at the two people in front of him, these two guys sang and harmonized, but they didn't want to think of going to Nanchu to borrow grain? This long way, even if it is borrowed and transported to Tangting Pass, do those soldiers still have the strength to fight? Maybe Bei Liang's army would have been wiped out long ago.

"Father, there is still grain in the granary in the son's mansion, so the son-in-law will go back and count it and send it to the fifth brother." King Huai said hurriedly.

"Father, the emperor, and his sons also have a hundred loads of grain, and they are all sent to the fifth brother." King Hui echoed.

"That's it, let's deal with these things." The emperor waved his hand.

A hundred loads of grain, which is what so many people in the palace eat for half a year, if it is sent to the border gate, it will be eaten up by the escort before it is delivered.

After the next dynasty, King Huai went straight to King Rui's mansion, after all, such a big thing happened, he had to tell Gu Yunxin anyway, and he knew that with the wisdom of his fifth brother, maybe he had prepared some grain and grass and handed it over to his fifth sister-in-law.

"The fifth sister-in-law, the fifth sister-in-law is not good. Tang Tingguan had an accident. As soon as King Huai entered Gu Yunxin's courtyard, he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"What? What's wrong? Gu Yunxin said worriedly.

"This morning, my father said that the fifth brother distributed a part of the grain and grass to the people in the city, so now we need to continue to collect grain and grass in large quantities. But I don't think this matter is that simple, even if the fifth brother distributes food and grass to the people in the city, he will not ignore the soldiers in the army. King Huai said hurriedly.

At this time, Hongling walked in quickly, "Master." Immediately, a small bamboo tube was handed over to Gu Yunxin's hands.

Gu Yunxin opened it and looked at it, his face was shocked, no wonder he wanted a large amount of grain and grass, and sure enough, something happened.

My father didn't say anything about the burning of grain and grass, but he just wanted to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China, and if the matter of grain and grass being burned reached the ears of the people, wouldn't the people be panicked?

"Fifth sister-in-law, didn't you buy a lot of grain from me and my sixth brother before? Do you want to send it to the fifth brother together? King Huai said hurriedly.

"Well, I also have this intention, but if we want to go out of Beijing, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, and there will definitely be someone who will prevent us from transporting grain and grass to the border gate smoothly." Gu Yunxin said in a deep voice.

"So what are we going to do? Why don't you ask your father to go out of Beijing? King Huai suggested.

"It's a good idea to go out of Beijing by order, but in that case, won't the people know the truth about the border pass? As the commander of the first army, the prince disregarded the generals and distributed the grain and grass to the people in the city, so he must be responsible for this matter. If at this time, the general is replaced, it is the most beneficial to Beiliang. Gu Yunxin analyzed quietly.

"Oh, isn't it just to give some food to the people? As for replacing the general? Besides, those people must really have nothing to eat, otherwise, the fifth brother would not have done this. "King Huai is unhappy for King Rui.

It's just that there are some things that Gu Yunxin doesn't want King Huai to know too early, because, with King Huai's temperament, if he knows the truth of the matter, I'm afraid he will have to hit the door now.

"Let me think about it, and besides, it is not easy to transport such a large amount of grain to the border gate." Gu Yunxin said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Gu Yunxin waved her hand and motioned for someone to send King Huai away first, so that she could discuss with Hongling and the others whether to let the Netherworld Pavilion make a move.

After King Huai left King Rui's mansion, he did not go back to his house directly, but went to Yipinxiang Teahouse to drink tea.

But just as he was drinking tea, he heard a few people at the next table talking about the grain and grass at the border.

King Huai leaned over to listen curiously, and saw the man in a blue robe and said, "I heard that King Rui did not give the grain and grass to the people to eat at all, but that most of the grain and grass were burned, and now there is only half a month's grain left. ”

"Wouldn't it, the grain and grass be burned? How is this possible? Another man in a dark red robe shook his head.

"I can't help you not believe it, but I saw with my own eyes in the morning that the soldier carrying the order flag at the border pass went directly to the palace to see the emperor, you said, if something big didn't happen, do you need to see the emperor? Wouldn't it be enough to directly ask for more grain and grass? The man in the green shirt said.

Hearing this, the people around all nodded their heads, and I have to say that what this guy said is very reasonable.

Randomly, King Huai stepped forward and kicked the man to the ground, and greeted the man in the face regardless of the three, seven, twenty, and ......
