Zeng Rong followed the eunuch into the Wuying Hall through the back door, and stood under the back porch and listened to the content of the court meeting first, Zeng Rong understood why Chang Dezi didn't dare to come forward to reply.

Today's meeting was discussing the issue of allocating grain and grass to the northern border, and the military generals headed by Wang Bai, Marquis of Zhenyuan, believed that this matter was urgent, and it was a major matter related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border line, and it was also a major matter related to the safety of the border line, and it should be carried out quickly.

However, the cabinet members headed by Xu Fushan and the officials of the household department believe that 200,000 stone grain and grass have been allocated a month ago, and it has only been a month, how can the food gap be so large, and whether there is any inside information.

Moreover, it has been two years since the war between the Great Zhou and Tatars ended, and it is still necessary to keep so many soldiers on the border.

The civil officials and the military generals argued endlessly, and the emperor didn't know who to listen to, but he wanted to end the court meeting as soon as possible, but the military generals were too aggressive, and the civil officials were also arguing on the basis of reason, and it seemed that they would not give up without arguing with a result.

Zeng Rong saw that they mentioned Yunzhou from time to time, it seemed a little familiar, thought about it carefully, and remembered a major event, at that time she didn't know the reason for the matter, but she remembered the result, it seems that the prefect of Yunzhou was copied and beheaded because he cooperated with the Yunzhou garrison to resell grain and grass to the Tatar side, and finally was beheaded, this case happened to be handled by Xu Fushan, but the time was a little wrong, not this year, it should be the winter of the following year.

In other words, it is very likely that Wang Bai won this time, and the emperor still sent grain and grass to the northern border of Yunzhou, and these people who tasted the sweetness came again the following year, and finally capsized.

Thinking of this, Zeng Rong walked behind the pillar and beckoned to Chang Dezi, who saw that it was Zeng Rong, glanced at the emperor, and walked over.

Zeng Rong informed Chang Dezi about the poppy beauty, and when Chang Dezi heard the decision about whether to protect the big or the small, he had to walk up to the emperor and whisper a few words to the emperor.

The emperor couldn't sit still when he heard this, he still had some feelings for Yu Bing, not to mention that this woman was wandering in front of the ghost gate for him, so as soon as Chang Dezi finished speaking, he immediately got up and wanted to leave.

Who knew that after Chang Dezi announced his retirement from the court, Wang Bai stood up, "Your Majesty, is this an agreement to allocate grain and grass?" ”

"Prince, this matter has not yet been decided, it is better to discuss it again tomorrow." Xu Fushan also stood up and said.

He saw that the emperor was in a hurry to leave, so he just suppressed this matter, and planned to turn around and lead the cabinet members and the household department secretary and the military department secretary to go to the study to meet the emperor and discuss the matter again.

"Xu Xiang, today's business is finished today, why do you want to delay until tomorrow? Can you wait, and so can the soldiers ahead? Wang Bai retorted.

"Everyone, Aiqing, this matter will be discussed again tomorrow, and we will retreat." Zhu Xu glanced at the civil and military officials standing in the audience and said.

After speaking, seeing that there was no doubt in the audience, he turned around and strode away.

Everyone in the court looked at each other, after so many years, when did they see the emperor so eager?

However, some people guessed that something big happened in the harem, it could be the queen mother's sudden illness, or it could be the birth of a more important concubine or an accident to a prince and princess.

Thinking that his own sister was the master of the harem, Wang Bai chased after him all the way out of the Wuying Palace, and happened to see Zeng Rong trotting all the way to the emperor's side.

How could it be this woman?

Wang Bai trotted a few steps to catch up with Zhu Xu, "Your Majesty, please stay." ”

Zhu Xu saw him chasing after him, frowned, suppressed his unhappiness, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Emperor Qiqi, what happened?" Wang Bai bowed and asked.

"There is a concubine who has a difficult birth, and I ask if I am big or small." Zhu Xu didn't want to answer, but after thinking about it, sooner or later Wang Bai would know.

In fact, when he came out of Wuying Palace, Zeng Rong told the emperor about the cause and effect, and the emperor immediately made a decision, Baoda, and directly ordered the deacon eunuch to go to Yaohua Palace to convey his message.

"Your Majesty, it is a woman's duty to give birth to a child, and you will rush over in a hurry, saying something unpleasant, not only will it not help, but it will add to the chaos. Just imagine, where you go, the imperial doctors and the stable women are all trembling, no one dares to come forward, no one dares to take risks, is it useless? Wang Bai persuaded.

At first glance, this seems to have some truth.

At least Zhu Xu listened to it, although he also knew that Wang Bai's words must be mixed with his selfishness, but he couldn't deny that his words were reasonable.

Zhu Xu, who was quite in a dilemma, seemed to sweep Zeng Rong intentionally or unintentionally, Zeng Rong saw this, hesitated for a moment, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials do not agree with the two sentences of the prince. Xia Guan thought that Yu Niangniang was in danger at the moment, if she knew that the emperor was outside the delivery room to accompany her and encourage her, she would definitely give birth to great courage, and this courage would definitely support her and give her hope to live, and once a person has hope, like a germinating seed, he will overcome layers of obstacles and finally see the light of day. ”

"Presumptuous, in front of the emperor, you also have the right to intervene?" Wang Bai rebuked angrily.

He had already seen Zeng Rong unpleasant, and when he saw Zeng Rong interjecting without knowing the sky, how could he bear it?

"The lesson of the prince is that the lower officials are overstepping, and in front of the emperor, there is indeed no part of the lower officials interfering." Zeng Rong smiled faintly and curtsy to Wang Bai to admit his mistake.

Wang Bai is not stupid, and soon heard Zeng Rong's words, in front of the emperor, Zeng Rong has no right to interject, and similarly, he Wang Bai does not have the right to train people, if he wants to train, the emperor has to speak first.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have also exceeded the rules." Wang Bai bowed and admitted his mistake.

"It's okay, I know that you are worried about the front-line soldiers, but this matter has a lot to do with it, and it will be discussed again tomorrow." Zhu Xu nodded, and when he passed by Wang Bai, he patted him on the shoulder to show his closeness.

At this point, Wang Bai couldn't hold on any longer. Otherwise, there will be a suspicion of coercing merit to suppress the master, relying on his own merits to force the emperor to make some decisions against his will, which really annoys the emperor, and the good days of the Wang family are over.

After Wang Bai left, Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and looked at Zeng Rong for a moment, and said, "Go and kneel at the gate of Qianning Palace for two hours." ”

"Whoa." Zeng Rong responded honestly, and under the anger of the other party, she didn't dare to bargain at all.

After hesitating for a while, Zeng Rong said again: "Emperor Qiqi, Xia Guan has read a passage from a medical book, saying that acupuncture can help women give birth abnormally, but Xia Guan's learning is limited and he has not yet learned it. ”

Zhu Xu glanced at Zeng Rong and ordered a eunuch next to him to go to Xuanzeng's Imperial Physician and hurry to Yaohua Palace.

I didn't say anything to Zeng Rong.

After entering the Qianning Gate, the emperor went directly to the Yaohua Palace, Zeng Rong did not dare to follow, he walked to the corridor of the Qianning Palace and knelt down, and asked the deacon and eunuch at the door to help her look at the hourglass timer.
