Xu Ziwei's face turned pale when he heard this, and then Xu Ziwen pointed to the empty river and said: "If the treasury is full, now the river should be full of grain ships, grain ships enter the sea from the mouth of the river, or cross the river into the Grand Canal, and go from the canal to Tongzhou, and the larger sea ships go directly to Dengzhou, Dengzhou has Wang Zhi's ship there, which can be escorted or transferred to outside Yuguan to directly supply the army." Recently, due to the emptiness of the government treasury, it is no longer time to buy grain and put it into the warehouse, and most of the nearby grain and sea ships have stopped operating. ”

Xu Ziwei said: "Tongzhou Daku, there are at least six or seven million stones of grain, you are alarmist." ”

Xu Ziwen smiled and said, "Big brother, you really don't know how to learn!" There are more than 1 million people in Beijing, including a large number of eunuchs, as well as officials, garrisons, monks, including the people in the city are not producing, they have to rely on the supply of grain on weekdays, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Jizhou to Yunzhou are living by transporting rice from Beijing, 300,000 forbidden troops are out today, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people along the way, and the monthly consumption of grain is not enough for millions of stones, from the beginning of last summer to the beginning of the army has been more than half a year now, the consumption of grain is afraid of more than 10 million stones, even if there is a supplement, the grain depot is also seriously insufficient, Supplying the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Xiang Army, the people are still struggling, and there are more than one million people in the Beijing Division, what about the soldiers of the forbidden army in Zhuzhen? Besides, it takes at least ten days to transport grain from Tongzhou, through Jizhou, Pingzhou, and Yuguan, and it takes at least ten or five hundred miles to transport it. It has been more than a month since my family arrived in Jiangling, and there are only dozens of grain ships going north, and the grain transported to the north is only tens of thousands of stones, which is a drop in the bucket and useless. ”

"Nonsense...... I don't believe it. Xu Ziwei was so poured cold water by Xu Ziwen when he was in a good mood, and his mood was simply terrible. You must know that Xu Ziwei's two sons were brought into the palace and regarded as princes, which is what Xu Ziwei is most excited about. If the Great Wei war is unfavorable and leads to the loss of the country, or the loss of the Son of Heaven, then what is the significance of the two sons entering the palace? One must build on a firm foundation?

Xu Ziwen smiled slightly and said: "Of course, my inference is to think at the worst, there may still be a lot of grain in stock, and the imperial court may be able to grit its teeth...... Now this situation is consuming, to see who has consumed whom. I think Han Zhong and the others won't be unable to see it. Our brother was the one who cut Meng Lang's temperament, and the two mansions would never mess around with him. ”

Xu Ziwei was quite dissatisfied, and said angrily: "I see that you are also a demon sign now, since we lost to Xu Zixian, you have belittled yourself and elevated others in everything, but now it's okay, you simply even raise your hand to the Hu people, just look down on your own family." ”

"I'm telling the truth." Xu Ziwen spread his hands quite innocently and said: "I also thought very highly of myself before, and then I gradually understood after experiencing setbacks, if I put aside my family background, bloodline, and status, I am also an ordinary scholar, smarter than ordinary people, but compared to pure Confucianism like Wu Shizhong, and painting saints like Wu Daozi, no matter the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am just a middle-aged person, or a little more than an ordinary person." Our eldest brother of the Son of Heaven, on the wisdom of the Chinese people, but jealousy, impatient guessing, the court in the past ten years of chaos, the court officials infighting to the situation of the coup d'état in Beijing, the officials are too anxious, always like to make things and seize power, instigating the court officials to fight each other, this is the most important reason. As for our father, there is no need to mention it, in the battle of Jianzhou, our King Zhao lost face...... If my father had insisted a little, the final situation would not have collapsed to the point where it is now. ”

Xu Ziwei's face was pale, knowing that everything he was happy about, as well as the faint hope, was shattered by Xu Ziwen in front of him with words.

"Rest assured, rest assured." The elder brother's face was ugly, but Xu Ziwen was comforted, and immediately smiled: "No matter what kind of situation the situation collapses, it will take three or five years if the north is not guaranteed, and there is such a long time, which is enough for Xu Zixian to run a sailor division that sweeps the sea, as well as an invincible land division, well, there are cavalry." My Great Wei will not be unable to keep the world, the worst situation should be the Southern Dynasty after Hengwen won Luoyang, Donghu, Beiyu is Fu Jian's Qin, Murong Family's Yan, respectively, but there is nothing to be done about the remnants of Great Wei, my Great Wei, and my Xu family, at least a hundred years of luck. As for whether Liu Yu invaded the north after that, completely wiped out the Yi Di forces, restored China, or the Southern Chen pattern, and was finally destroyed by the Northern Dynasties, it is really unclear now. However, I have seen very clearly, in the next three or five years, the entire south will be under the control of Xu Zixian, ten years later, only the two major forces of Donghu and Xu Zixian remain, which are to follow Taizu's Northern Expedition, and then drive the barbarians, or even a corner of An, with Lianghuai, the Yangtze River, Hanzhong, Sichuan as the boundary, and from the outside of the Guan, occupy Guanzhong, Henan, Hebei, Qinfeng, Hedong Zhulu Donghu confrontation, this I can't see it at present. But according to my understanding of Mingda, he is not the kind of person who is willing to be partial to himself only for his own selfishness. ”

Xu Ziwen said a lot of things, but he kept praising Xu Zixian, and Xu Ziwei in front of him didn't know what to say, so he just stood in place in a daze.

"Big brother, you didn't know anything in your eyes, but in fact, I was also ......" Xu Ziwen sighed softly and said with emotion: "But whether it is a hero who creates the current situation, or the current situation creates a hero, now we all have to face such a reality." With the suppression of Nan'an Hou by my Zhao Wang's lineage, I am afraid that Mingda will retaliate again sooner or later in the future. That's the kind of guy he is...... He has no frame for people, and he is benevolent and gentle, but under the law, he will never tolerate mercy. Father and you abandon the army on the battlefield and flee first, in Mingda's view, it is a sin that cannot be forgiven, unless our family changes its course now, no longer covets the supreme position of the Son of Heaven, but tries to help the King of Qin in many ways, and strengthen the momentum of the Shogunate of the King of Qin, we will do more good deeds ourselves to atone for our previous sins, so that when we reach Jiangling, we can keep safe, and we can enjoy wealth and wealth for decades after that......"

Xu Ziwei's face became extremely ugly, and he immediately brushed his sleeves and said, "You said all day long that you wanted to study how Xu Zixian got to work, and that's the result?" No matter what, my two sons will be sent to Jingshi, and no matter what, I will fight Xu Zixian to the end. I, King Zhao, and his Nananhou, will never die! ”

Xu Ziwei brushed his sleeves and left, Xu Ziwen only sighed, and had nothing else to say. In any case, Xu Zixian felt that his research was extremely correct, and if King Zhao did not change his original intention, he was afraid that he would be taken away in the future.

If Xu Ziwen himself is concerned, he doesn't really care too much about life or death. But there are nephews and nieces, as well as a few young brothers and sisters, and there are still mothers-in-law and concubines, such a big family, if you don't get it in the future, you will be punished by the clan.

Xu Ziwen has rules and regulations first, there is a decision, and he will never leave his hand when he recognizes the right things, Xu Ziwen sighed, but also insisted in his heart, no matter what, King Zhao's line must continue, and he will make a contribution, and what the outcome is, it can only depend on the will of God.

……

"Official, the two regimental training has arrived."

Xu Shanwei and Xu Shanyong arrived in Beijing by land in less than ten days.

Of course, this journey is quite hard, the two brothers are five years old, the other is four years old, they are still immature children, the hair on the top of their heads has not been left, only two pigtails, this is the so-called total horn year.

After a few years, they will slowly grow their hair, and when they are about a teenager, the clan will send a respected elder to crown the two teenagers.

After crowning, it is considered adulthood.

Zhang Wei, the enshrined official in the east of the east, is also a kind of hard work, and the two sluggish children are the same as the dusty and dusty appearance, but Zhang Wei still looks radiant, leading two group training envoys who are a few years old in the inner hall, and respectfully bows to the current official family and the Son of Heaven.

If Xu Ziwei could come along, he would definitely sigh in surprise.

The Son of Heaven has lost a lot of weight compared to more than a year ago, the cheekbones on both sides of his face are obvious, the chin is sharp, and the wide robe with big sleeves on his body almost gives people a light and fluttering feeling, as if he can't suppress the robe, and a gust of wind blows over at will, which can blow the Son of Heaven into the air.

In the past year, a lot of things have happened, among which the things outside Fujian Road and Yuguan are the most suspenseful.

The fortunes of the country are not good, the world is in turmoil, disasters are frequent, and there are constant wars.

Xu Shanwei, although Xu Shanyong was young, he had been taught beforehand, and the two children bowed their hands together and saluted: "Minister Xu Shanwei, Xu Shanyong, please see Your Majesty." ”

A smile appeared on the thin face of the Son of Heaven, and the two in front of him were his preferred successors. After deciding that there is no queen, the best candidate is, of course, his nephew.

"You two get up." The Son of Heaven said gently: "Do you know who I am? ”

The two children were wearing well-cut five-grade official robes, blue round-necked robes, decorated with small flowers, a plain silver belt around their waists, and a head with their feet stretched out.

Unexpectedly, the two children were wooden, and after half a ring, Xu Shanwei said tremblingly: "The official family is an uncle." ”

The Son of Heaven was disappointed for a while, the children of the scholar's family, who were about five years old, had already been enlightened and read, and some of the clever three-character scriptures or thousands of poems had been read, and the boy in front of him was dumbfounded, and the answer was rude, and the other child was even more unbearable, so far he didn't dare to speak out, and he didn't know how Xu Ziwei taught?

Xu Ziwei wanted to teach, but he himself was rude and unliterate, and he didn't work such things, the palace was extravagant and arrogant, how could anyone really teach the two little sons with his heart, King Zhao himself was a dog and horse, and how could he care about the education of his children and grandchildren? This is the difference between the clan family and the scholar family.

The Son of Heaven was patient and asked, "Is your grandfather okay in Gangneung?" ”

This time, Xu Shanwei's answer was much smoother, and he shook his head and said: "Grandfather had a bad life in Jiangling, he didn't have many guests, and he didn't have money to eat and drink, so he was unhappy every day, scolded and beat people. ”

The Son of Heaven felt a sour feeling in his heart, knowing that his father was quite dissatisfied with the denunciation of Jiangling. After the news spread, Yintaisi received a lot of impeachment of King Zhao, and the officials were not easy to say about the forcible seizure of King Qin, but the rumors were mostly praised.

King Zhao, as the prince and governor of the prince, was still the biological father of the Son of Heaven, and abandoned his subordinates before the battle and fled first, and his bad reputation also showed consequences at this time.

The Son of Heaven glanced at the senior attendants around him, some of them are responsible for monitoring the ministers, and some are responsible for collecting public opinion in the market.

"So be it." Emperor Chongde didn't want to ask any more, and said with his sleeves: "Take them down, eat some snacks, and then send them down to take care of their daily lives, and start reading in the study tomorrow morning." ”

Many attendants left with the two boys in their arms, and the small hall immediately became empty. The Son of Heaven was silent, and the attendants around him did not dare to speak, and the entire palace fell into a dead silence and depressing situation.
