Although Meng Rong said that he was reluctant, he still went to Yao Shangshu in private.

Yao Shangshu is a flexible person, he agreed and said that he would find a way to send Meng Rong's recital in.

As for what method to use, there is no need for Meng Rong to worry about it.

Although Meng Rong didn't like those methods that went astray, but the matter was related to his own job, and it was also related to the safety of the Hongyin Dynasty, he no longer raised any objections, just waiting for Emperor Xuande to summon him.

Sure enough, when it was time to light the lamp, Meng Rong got the news that Emperor Xuande had summoned him.

Meng Rong didn't expect it to be so fast, but fortunately, he still had some things in the government office and hadn't gone home yet, and he was wearing all the court clothes properly.

It's just that Chang Sui next to him reminded, "My lord, let's smoke some incense in the sedan chair, this day down, your court clothes are wrinkled, not to mention, there is a little smell of sweat." ”

At this time, it was just early summer, and Meng Rong was also a very particular person on weekdays, but today he was anxious, so he was negligent, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor is now becoming more and more exquisite, and at this moment to avoid sainthood, it is too late to change clothes, if there is a peculiar smell, it is really inappropriate.

Meng Rong nodded immediately, "It's better for you to think about it, just smoke the agarwood incense in the sedan chair, and the smell can still cover up a bit or two." ”

Chang Sui smiled awkwardly, "My lord, the agarwood incense has been used up, and there is only a little stack of incense at the moment, so let's deal with it." ”

Meng Rong said helplessly, "Then use the stack of incense, it's better to talk than nothing, I hope Your Majesty's mood can be better today." ”

Chang went with the bumps, and after a while, it was arranged, and asked Meng Rong to get on the sedan chair.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when he got close to the royal city, Meng Rong had the time to think carefully about how to deal with the current situation with the emperor.

Although it is only a small plunder, the drought is a big thing, and if you don't pay attention to it, something big will happen.

Maybe it was because of his heavy mood, or maybe it was because he was thinking that it was not easy to enter the palace, Meng Rong actually felt that his mouth was a little dry, and he began to get nervous.

When he was guided by the internal officials step by step to approach the Guande Palace, Meng Rong was even more indescribably frightened in his heart, others said that His Majesty was indulging in pleasure and enjoying the boundless beauty in the harem, but on the way to the palace, there was no laughter and laughter, everyone was lowering their eyes, walking in a regular manner, and there was no relaxed appearance at all.

That kind of solemn energy, as if the emperor was still fasting, the whole atmosphere was wrong, Meng Rong felt that something was strange, but he couldn't say it.

When he saw the emperor, he was shocked to realize that the source of this strangeness was Emperor Xuande.

Meng Rong often sees the emperor, even if he sees less this year, but Emperor Xuande's appearance is always familiar and can not be more familiar.

After kneeling and bowing, Meng Rong looked up, but saw that Emperor Xuande's expression was very lonely, and he didn't say that the beauty was holding that kind of ambition.

But obviously everyone is saying that the emperor snubbed the political affairs of the previous dynasty for the sake of those beauties in the harem, which is a bit different from the rumors.

What's going on here? Meng Rong didn't understand, and he didn't dare to speculate.

However, the belligerent martial spirit in the emperor's eyes was still obvious at a glance.

On weekdays, there is a ten-day day, far away, and he can't see clearly, but at this moment, between the monarch and the minister, there is no one else, Meng Rong is good score, and his heart has settled down all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, Yongning has come to report that there have been several small-scale attacks in Wuyan Country recently due to drought.

I don't know what Your Majesty means, what should I do? ”

When Emperor Xuande heard the military report, he was not surprised, because of the Nijo Division, he had always had another intelligence system. Although Gonggong Jingyun said that he was sick, these things were taken care of by General Li of the front division of the palace.

General Li has always paid little attention to Wenchen's movements, but he still pays close attention to these military news.

Not to mention the actions of the border gates, he sent special personnel to monitor the movement of troops and horses in those places in the territory.

No one wants to see a repeat of the Yuzhou Mu rebellion in the second year of Hongqing.

Emperor Xuande is also very relieved about General Li's work, literati, scare and scare are obedient, but those local state pastors who have their own soldiers and horses have to be more vigilant.

It's like Yongning City, since General Pei Shao went to Huichangzhou, which borders Wuyan State, he has always taken care of it very well, and only Concubine De Niangniang, who came out of the Pei family in the harem, gave birth to a prince, and the relationship between General Pei Shao and the emperor is still quite harmonious.

However, it is impossible not to prevent them from having other thoughts.

Therefore, when there was an abnormality in Yongning City, Nijoji got the news very early.

The emperor has been unable to trigger it, waiting for the army to report, and then observing the reaction of the military department, fortunately, this Meng Shangshu still knows the severity and does not treat these small loots as improper.

Emperor Xuande saw his subordinates asking himself, and snorted coldly, "You don't have a scholar's book, don't you have a proposition, what do you mean by coming to me, do you want me to make decisions for you?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, if the minister has such a lazy mind, he should be beaten.

It's just that the ministers don't dare to be self-conscious, if it is just a small-scale raid, the Yongning guards have also sent them away, and they shouldn't have made a big move. ”

Meng Rong said as he raised his head and secretly looked at Emperor Xuande, seeing that his expression was as usual, and he was not really angry.

He took a deep breath, thought slowly, and said:

"Your Majesty, the drought in Wuyan Country this time is very unusual, not to mention that there has been no rain throughout the spring, even the ice and snow melt on the mountain is much, much less than in previous years.

According to the informant, many pastures in Wuyan have been affected, and the cattle and sheep have begun to lose weight day by day.

If this development continues, I am afraid that they will definitely start a war. ”

Emperor Xuande sneered, "Just rely on their old lord?" Didn't you say you've been sick? clamoring to be friendly with us, but he hasn't given us a letter yet.

I think as long as we don't move, they won't move easily. ”

Meng Rong was anxious all of a sudden, "Your Majesty, that's not what I said, on the grassland, the water is more precious than gold, and in previous years, it may not take the initiative to go to war, but this year's situation, if it doesn't disturb our Huichangzhou, then they will have to pinch it hard." ”

Emperor Xuande smiled slightly, "I'm just waiting for them to pinch themselves, if it weren't for such an opportunity, how could our Hongyin Dynasty dominate Borneo?" ”

Meng Rong really didn't expect that the emperor would still be so strategic, decisive and decisive posture, looking at his spirit, it seemed that he was sure that there was a civil strife in the Wuyan Congress, and taking advantage of this civil strife, the Hongyin Dynasty could show its might and level them one by one.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the five-body surrender that you admire."

As he spoke, Meng Rong kowtowed and bowed down.
