"You'll understand when you live to my age." Doctor Jiang sighed and said this, and then found that ......

Ji Chi is a stupid child, even if he lives to his age, he may not understand.

In the camp of the defenders of Northern Xinjiang, Jing Mu hurriedly entered the main tent: "Beidi's men and horses have already come to the city. ”

"Then this battle seems inevitable." Cheng Ji said with some regret.

Although war can bring him glory, Cheng Ji never wants war to happen.

Moreover, the head of the Cheng family does not need such glory to add to his reputation.

There is never a saying that the enemy is killed in war, and they have to pay a terrible price for every victory.

It is inevitable that families will be destroyed, wives will be separated, people will be displaced, and children will be left homeless.

"Summoning all the generals to discuss the matter quickly!"

In the imperial capital, the military department came out and said: "The minister has something to do." ”

"Exactly."

"Your Majesty, the war has started in the northern Xinjiang, and there are not many people among the Cheng family master and the previous soldiers and horses, can we increase the troops now?"

"In addition, the matter of grain and grass and military salaries, I think it will not take long to come, and the northern Xinjiang will not succeed well, and the minister asks the emperor to send someone to send grain and grass and military salaries."

After the military department finished speaking, Min Fenglan did not answer directly, but subconsciously looked at Sui Ya and asked Sui Ya's opinion: "What does the queen mother think?" ”

"The head of the Cheng family has always been resourceful, and he will be able to come up with a way to deal with Beidi, as for the increase in troops, there is no need." Sui Ya said lightly.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, Queen Mother!" As soon as the military department Shangshu heard that there would be no more troops, he was anxious.

Although he doesn't know too much about how many people there are in Northern Xinjiang at the moment, he still knows a rough idea.

"As for the grain and grass, the mourning family believes that the Cheng family master will definitely be able to repel Beidi before cutting off the grain and grass."

Song Tingyu rarely had the patience to come out and feed the fish in the pond, and after listening to Ji Chi's advice: "Did she really say that?" ”

"The Queen Mother did say this in front of the Manchu civil and military forces."

Song Tingyu still threw fish food into the pond for a while: "Don't worry about her, you just monitor her movements." ”

"Yes."

"In addition, I also want to know the news from the northern Xinjiang."

"Yes."

The battle raged in the northern frontier city.

"Quick...... Arrows, no arrows! ”

"I'm gone, what should I do? Do you have anything over there? ”

"I'm gone."

"With stones! Wood can also be thrown, and it must not be allowed to break through the city gate by the people of Beidi. ”

The barracks of the defenders of Northern Xinjiang: "What should I do?" Now there is a shortage of materials in the army, and I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower. ”

"What's going on with this court? They did not send troops to support them, nor did they send people to send food and grass. ”

"We are working hard here, the guards are the rivers and mountains of the Min Dynasty, how can they be as cold as no one!"

"Shut up! Don't talk about it. The coach said angrily: "It's time for everyone to be united, not to say such frustrating words." ”

Because the imperial capital did not respond for a long time, the coach was already angry, and the person who spoke was inevitably scolded.

After coming back to his senses a little, the coach took a deep breath, turned his head to Cheng Ji and said, "What else can the military advisor do?" ”

Fighting a war is a very money-burning thing, and at the moment, the northern Xinjiang city not only lacks everything, but also lacks people.

There is no one, and no matter how much strategy he has in his belly, it won't work.

"I plan to go to the imperial capital in person, and you must stabilize this side of the northern frontier."

"Then there will be the Labor Division." The boss thanked him.

"It's all for Northern Xinjiang, Master Pei doesn't have to be polite."

Before leaving the northern frontier, he still needs to settle down.

Because the decision to go to the emperor was made temporarily, he still needed to inform Jing Mu and Cheng Cheng.

"I will leave Northern Xinjiang early tomorrow morning and go to the imperial capital, if there is a case here in Northern Xinjiang, you two must find a way to stabilize it, and you must delay it until I come back." Cheng Ji said very heavily.

"Yes, Cheng Cheng understands."

"Yes, Jing Mu understands."

The carriage of the Cheng family is different from the carriages in other places, the carriage of the Cheng family is unmanned, and when the mechanism of the wooden horse is activated, the horse will pull the carriage to the place where the people on the carriage want to go.

For the sake of speed and concealment, Cheng Ji did not take anyone with him, but went to the north alone.

The wooden carriage with the logo of the Cheng family, after seven days and seven nights of wind and rain, Cheng Ji finally arrived at the imperial capital with a body of wind and dust.

After Cheng Ji arrived in the imperial capital, he did not enter the palace directly, but silently went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was closed after the new emperor ascended the throne, and now there is not even a guard at the door.

Cheng Ji stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it didn't take long for someone to come and open the door, and it was a young guy who opened the door, he poked his head out and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I am Cheng Ji, the head of the Cheng family, and I am looking for Song Tingyu." As he spoke, he broke in without saying anything.

The little guy hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "I haven't gone in to report yet, you can't go in." ”

Cheng Ji just walked briskly and ignored the little guy's words.

He's all in, what's the use of stopping now?

After Ji Chi heard the movement, he hurriedly ran out to take a look, and after seeing Cheng Ji, he was obviously stunned, and saluted: "Master Cheng." ”

"Where's your master?"

"My master is in the main courtyard, please." Ji Chi said respectfully, and in a place where Cheng Ji couldn't see, he glanced at the little guy guarding the door lightly, and motioned for him to go back first.

Ji Chi led Cheng Ji to the main courtyard: "The master is inside." ”

Ji Chi didn't go in with Cheng Ji, Cheng Ji had just entered the courtyard when he saw Song Tingyu coming out of the room.

Cheng Jilai, when he came to the main courtyard, Song Tingyu had already received the news, so he didn't look surprised: "It's here." ”

After Song Tingyu sat down with Cheng Qi, he poured him a cup of tea and put it in front of him: "It's been hard all the way." ”

"You know I'm back?"

"Sui Ya hangs the curtain and listens to the government, what happens to the imperial capital, you are inevitable." Song Tingyu said lightly, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him.

"Do you think she'll give me more troops?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

"I don't think it's possible." Cheng Ji said with some worry.

"Sui Ya has no world, no people, no righteousness in her eyes, only herself in her eyes." Song Tingyu raised her head, paused and said, "You also know that she hates you to the bone." ”

"So...... Imperial capital, I'm afraid you're going to run for nothing. ”

"Is there no other way?" Cheng Ji did not give up.

"Yes, let Sui Ya return to the emperor, and the emperor will inevitably increase his troops for the people of northern Xinjiang."

Song Tingyu said solemnly: "If you can wait, within three months, Sui Ya will definitely return to the emperor." ”

"I'm afraid Northern Xinjiang can't wait." Cheng Ji sighed.

100,000 enemy soldiers at the border are pressing the border, the situation is changing rapidly, where can we afford to wait?

Cheng Ji came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight to Shou'an Palace, and the identity of the head of the Cheng family was sometimes unexpectedly useful.

At least no one in the palace dared to stop him.

No, Cheng Qi prefers Sui Ya to let people be older in advance, just wait for him to appear.

When he, Song Tingyu, Min Yan, Sui Ya, and Chu Cheng walked the rivers and lakes.

Sui Ya is the most extreme one.

These years have not only gotten older, but also intensified.

Cheng Ji came to Shou'an Palace according to the eunuch he asked, the emperor was still young, not to mention that there was no queen, or even a concubine.

In addition, when the first emperor was alive, there was only Sui Ya as a queen, and there were no other concubines.

Therefore, the harem is exceptionally quiet now.

Cheng Ji had just come to Shou'an Palace, and before he could push the door, someone opened the door from the inside, and the visitor saluted: "Is it the head of the Cheng family in southern Fujian?" ”

"Exactly down there."

"Master Cheng, come in, it's been a long journey, it's very hard to think about it, the Queen Mother has been waiting for you for a long time." The palace maid said very enthusiastically.

"There is labor."

Cheng Ji became more and more sure that Sui Ya had dug a pit and was waiting for him.

If you don't send grain and grass to northern Xinjiang and don't increase your troops to northern Xinjiang, you are just forcing him over.

Because she knew very well in her heart that he would not abandon the people of Northern Xinjiang.

Cheng Ji came to the main hall of Shou'an Palace under the leadership of the palace maid, and the palace maid who led the way listened to him after bringing him to the door: "Next, the slave and maid can't go in, and ask the master of the house to go in by himself." ”

Cheng Ji walked into the main hall according to his words, and now he had no other choice but to see Sui Ya.

The people of Northern Xinjiang are still waiting.

After Cheng Ji entered the main hall, he looked around, and he didn't see Sui Ya's shadow anywhere his eyes could reach.

Cheng Ji saluted and said loudly: "The minister has seen the Queen Mother. ”

"You're here?" Sui Ya came out of the inner sanctum very lazily in her regular clothes.

Sui Ya sat on the main seat and smiled coldly: "After many years, we meet again." ”

"Cheng Ji, long time no see!"

"How are you willing to increase your troops?"

Sui Ya smiled, showing charm and enchantment: "You killed Chu Cheng, and then married me." I'm all yours, so naturally I want you to be well. ”

"Impossible." Cheng Ji frowned.

All these years have passed, and she has not dispelled this thought.

How Min Yan has treated Sui Ya over the years, he has heard a little.

Scattered 3,000 beauties in the harem for her, and was the only emperor with only one queen since the founding of the Min Dynasty.

It can be said that the stars will never give the moon, even if the previous emperors have added it, they are not as affectionate as Min Yan.

However, she still hasn't given up on him at the moment, is it possible that what she can't get is the best?

"It's impossible to increase the number of troops." Sui Ya's face turned cold in an instant.

"The people in the northern Xinjiang who are struggling on the line of life and death are all the people of the Min Dynasty!" Cheng Ji said very sadly.

"Cheng Qi, it's just a city, tens of thousands of people. As long as you can be ruined, let alone that, it's this country, and the mourning family can afford to pay for it! ”

"Master Cheng, what does this world, this people have to do with the mourning family?"

"Queen Mother, you must know that the glory and wealth you enjoy now are all from these thousands of people."

"So what?" Sui Ya's face was cold.
