Chapter 53: Tongcheng

Rong Yu, Rong Hua, and Shao Nanyan sat in the carriage for a long time, but the carriage still did not move.

She lifted the curtain of the car and saw Shen Xun carefully counting the rice grains next to the grain truck.

Different from the Canran clothes in Kyoto City, Shen Xun has been wearing the same coarse cloth uniforms as the laborers these days, and he eats and lives in the same place.

Rong Yu got to know him again.

The laborers waiting at the wharf to pick up the work came from different places, how to quickly and accurately select the hard-working and loyal ones from these people, and transported the military rations to Tongcheng for a long distance;

The weather is sunny and rainy, and the road is rugged, how to ensure that a truckload of grain is not moldy, rotten, broken or spilled;

how to properly put the armor of the escort;

What should you do if you encounter bandits, corrupt officials, and corrupt officials on the way......

In addition, when the military rations were delivered on time and in full and in pain, what should we do if someone presses them and does not release the money when they go to the household department to receive the money......

The Shen family has been doing the errand of procuring and transporting military rations steadily for decades.

Many people take it for granted that this business is the easiest and the most profitable and profitable, and whoever the emperor does it for is the one on whose head the emperor's grace falls.

But the world will soon learn that this is not the case......

In the previous life, after the defeat of Youning's Northern Expedition, because King Chen was disabled, the emperor was afraid that the concubine would be helpless, so he asked the concubine's nephew to take over the military food business.

The concubine's nephew was stupid and greedy, and subcontracted his business to a few small traders at a low price, intending to be a hands-off shopkeeper who made the difference.

According to the contract price, if those small traders sincerely transport grain, they will make very little profit, and they may even lose money......

They dare to take on that kind of business, and they have their own countermeasures.

That year, the military rations transported to Jiubian were short of catties, not to mention that there were many old rice and moldy rice mixed in there.

After the defeat of the two northern expeditions, the loyal and brave generals of the Great Zhou were almost killed and wounded, and most of the nine-sided guards were promoted newcomers.

After receiving such military rations, the slippery guards speculated on their intentions and kept silent, and the cautious guards cherished their official hats and did not dare to venture into ......

Only no one cared about the problem that the soldiers did not have enough to eat......

Half a year later, the trial of Ma Jianjun's treason case was concluded, the British king was demoted to a commoner, and the Ma family was overturned.

Duan Wang was released from prison.

Mu Linyuan took over Tongcheng.

After Mu Linyuan noticed the problem of military rations, he sent his cronies to Beijing with personal and physical evidence to present them to Yu Shi Sinian, the leader of the treason case of the Ma Jian Army.

Subsequently, Xia Sinian presented the case to the Son of Heaven, and the emperor was furious, and specially appointed Xia Sinian to investigate the case, and ordered the county inspectors to assist him in investigating the military rations case.

And give the edict, Shang Fang sword, in case of interference in the investigation of the case, do not refuse to be the truth, up to the generals, the county guard, down to the soldiers, merchants, all on the spot.

After the military ration case, there is no Xu family in the world who enjoys wealth because of a favorite concubine in the clan.

……

The carriage finally moved.

Rong Yu originally planned to enlighten Rong Hua step by step on the way, so as not to be overly grieved after she found Shao Xize's body, or she would be disheartened and regenerate if she couldn't find Shao Xize's body.

But plans can't keep up with the changes......

She had never traveled far on a rough road in a horse-drawn carriage......

And there was no maid with him......

Therefore, despite her inner fortitude, her body really couldn't stand it, and she lay weakly in the carriage all the way......

The cities and scenery that I passed through had no intention of watching, so I could only listen to Shao Nanyan relay a few words......

Only when she was resting in Pucheng, she deliberately took a few looks.

After the defeat of the two northern expeditions, the morale of the Liao army was greatly boosted, and they frequently entered the country to disturb the people.

In the tenth year of Youning, the Liao people gathered a large army, drove straight in, and fought all the way to Pucheng.

If the Liao people conquer Pucheng, they will be able to go north along the Grand Canal and come to Kyoto......

The whole country was panicked in the Great Zhou.

At the time of life and death, King Duan personally went to Pucheng to supervise the battle and block the attack of the Liao army.

The Liao people were in a dilemma and sent peace envoys.

At that time, there was a main battle and a dispute between the DPRK and the peace talks.

Rong Yu didn't know much about the affairs of the imperial court, like many ordinary people, what she did know was that in the end, King Duan, on behalf of the emperor, signed a peace treaty with the Liao people in Pucheng.

That and the covenant......

It is said that it is a peace treaty, but the content is that the Great Zhou must give money and grain to the Liao people every year.

In the past dynasty, there was a grand scene from all over the world to congratulate the Son of Heaven......

However, the Great Zhou had to pay tribute to the Western Barbarians and sue for peace.

Everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty is ashamed of this peace agreement, and every time they think about it, they are sad and inexplicable.

But he was helpless and powerless to return to heaven.

Da Zhou failed to recover Yanyun City;

Without Yanyun City, it can't stop the Liao people.

……

The military food convoy traveled all the way west, passing through Luoyang City, which was famous all over the world, and Chang'an City, the old capital of the former dynasty, and arrived in Tongcheng in mid-March after more than a month.

Shao Beicheng led people to receive military rations into storage, but unexpectedly saw Rong Hua and Shao Nanyan appear......

And that's not all......

There was also a Rong Yu in the carriage......

In Shao Beicheng's impression, Rong Yu is always full of energy and refreshed.

Kneeling alone in the ancestral hall late at night, he was also calm.

I have never been so emaciated, weak, and weak as I am now......

He suddenly remembered what she said on the day of the donation, "Because I ...... Pampered ......"

It's just that after more than a month of carriage, it became like this.

Really, pampered......

……

There was no maid in the General's Mansion, only a middle-aged cook who cooked, and the weak Rong Yu was carried into the bedroom by this mother-in-law......

The next day, Rong Hua planned to go to the battlefield outside the city.

Despite being weak and frail, Rong Yu still changed into men's clothes, carried by Shao Nanyan, and went out with Rong Hua.

The three of them walked to the second gate and met Shao Beicheng, who was waiting for them, followed by two columns of personal soldiers.

Shao Beicheng allocated a few personal soldiers to escort them out of the city.

Rong Hua's appearance is outstanding, and her men's clothes are not less beautiful, and many soldiers can't help but peek at her.

Shao Beicheng looked at them, and they immediately lowered their eyes in shame......

Rong Yu also looked at Rong Hua thoughtfully.

Her eldest sister is indeed a beautiful woman......

Although she wears men's clothes, people can easily see the clues.

If there is a rumor......

For example, there are beauties hidden in the general's mansion where filial piety is still served......

That's not good......

Rong Yu made up his mind, invited Rong Hua back to the bedroom, asked for a piece of charcoal from the kitchen, crushed it and wiped it on Rong Hua's face......

The three of them went out again.

This time, there was no surprise in the eyes of the soldiers looking at Rong Hua.

The results are immediate.

Shao Nanyan asked Rong Yu: "Do we also have to paint the face with charcoal ash before going out?" ”

Armor: ......

Rong Yu: ......

Rong Yu said euphemistically: "I have a mediocre appearance, so I don't have to ......."

"And you are a heroic beauty, and when you wear men's clothes, you are a heroic little gentleman......"

Shao Nanyan pondered Rong Yu's words for a while, and confirmed to Rong Yu: "I am heroic in men's clothes? ”

Rong Yu nodded sincerely.

Shao Nanyan suddenly realized and said, "You say that I look good in men's clothes, doesn't that mean that my third brother is good-looking?!" ”

"What a wit!"

Rong Yu wanted to know why Shao Nanyan's thinking was so strange......

The armor laughed unabashedly......

Rong Yu looked at them helplessly......

It is rumored that the Shao Jiajun, who has a clean military appearance and a mountain of military orders, is this group of goods? !

When she looked at those armors, her eyes inadvertently fell on Shao Beicheng......

The military uniform of the Great Zhou Dynasty is black and red, calm and bloody, and the young general who is calm and clear is dressed like this, with a black gold crown to tie his hair, holding a black gold spear, and a fierce cloak flying in the wind......

It's really pretty......

It's not in vain that she was teased in public......

The more Rong Yu looked at it, the more he sighed: This heroic and extraordinary young man is the destiny of the Great Zhou......

She and the tens of millions of people in Da Zhou prayed for him to live a long and healthy life and drive out the barbarians......

……

Kyoto Castle.

In February, the emperor sent a message to the whole country to seek famous doctors for the crown prince.

For a time, there were those who recommended themselves, and there were those who recommended talents......

But most of them are mediocre people.

Mrs. Qiushui, recommended by Rong Ying, the second lady of the Taining Hou Mansion, is a world-recognized miracle doctor!

Mrs. Qiushui lives in seclusion in the mountains of Lingnan, occasionally going out to the mountains to see a doctor.

Incurable diseases, lying on the sickbed for a long time, and dying......

All of them are cured.

Lady Qiushui has been passed down by word of mouth as the Guanyin Bodhisattva who is suspended in the world, as if there is no disease in this world that she cannot cure, and there is no patient who she cannot save.

The envoys of Kyoto and the officials of Guangdong County had gone to the mountains for the prince to visit Mrs. Qiushui, but to no avail.

No one thought that Miss Rong Er would invite this transcendent miracle doctor!

The emperor and queen were overjoyed, the crown princess swept away the sadness of several months, and even the people of Kyoto City were much more relaxed.

The health of the prince is related to the foundation of the country.

Below the crown prince, whether it is the eldest king of England or the noble king of his biological mother, the prestige in the hearts of the people is not very good......

Although the prince's talent is not outstanding, at least he is benevolent and filial......
