Since spring, there hasn't been a single rain in the country.

Originally, there was not much rain in the spring, and everyone didn't take it too seriously.

But with the arrival of summer, the drought has been going on, and everyone slowly feels that something is wrong.

Because of the impact of the drought, the animals have gradually decreased, and the hunting has begun to lack prey, and the nobles have begun to move, and it is time to go to the borders of the Hongyin Dynasty to raid.

Otherwise, this year's drought has caused no harvest at all, and even the horses have been spoiled by the withered grass, and they are getting thinner and thinner day by day.

When a few small nobles began to harass the border with their teams privately, the guards of Yongning began to write letters to Haojing after sending them away, hoping that the imperial court would send some soldiers to support, but they were afraid that there would be a large army behind Wuyanguo.

After receiving the letter from the Yongning guard, the officials of the Ministry of War did not dare to slack off, and wanted Meng Rong, the secretary of the headquarters, to enter the palace immediately to face the saint. Unfortunately, this day is not the day of the dynasty.

As for the minister's desire to see him, he still needs to make an appointment in advance, and if the emperor agrees, he can only enter the meeting.

The agency that the supervisor made an appointment in advance was the Imperial Study, and after Jingyun had been ill for a few days, his apprentice began to slowly take on the big responsibility.

Meng Rong was not good at dealing with internal officials, so he inevitably ran into a wall and was blocked back.

Among the court officials, the first person to say that they can deal with internal officials is Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and then Kong Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Kong Youde used to be very convenient whenever he wanted to enter the palace. As long as the sign is handed over, Jingyun will pass it on to him. But now it's different, Jingyun was sick five out of ten, and the rest of the time was not big, as if it was Concubine Yun's death, and his spirit and spirit were taken away.

Others will inevitably discuss, this Jingyun Gonggong used to be a popular person in front of the emperor, no matter what the matter, the emperor also likes to consult his opinion, not to mention anything else, it is the Nijo Division, which investigates the activities of all officials inside and outside Haojing, and he is in charge.

In order to find out the movements of the ministers, the emperor often had to ask him a question or two, but now that he is ill, naturally someone will slowly come forward to replace him.

Father-in-law Jingyun also didn't seem to care, but he was sick day by day, and his body was getting thinner and weaker.

came and went, and the Nijo Division also began to be leaderless, and only Hua Shao, who often went in and out of the palace, could command a few points.

There was that obedient person, so he naturally fell to Lan Zhaoyi's side.

Let's just say that the girl Lu Ying who arrested Tongyue Jiaofang a few years ago is the one who wants to get ahead, and then sell it to Lan Zhaoyi.

In the past few months, Lan Zhaoyi's transfer of the Nijo Division has become more and more frequent, at the beginning she was holding the emperor's edict, and no one dared to say anything, as the days went by, even her own handwriting was also used.

Compared with the time of Concubine Yun, I don't know how many times more majestic it was.

After all, Concubine Yun Niangniang is also for the affairs of the court, but the things that Lan Zhaoyi does are miscellaneous, and it is not clear whether it is for the court or what, in short, they are all things that are not on the table, and it is chilling to say it.

Since Meng Rong couldn't enter the palace, he thought about finding Yao Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials or Kong Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites to see if he could find a way to accommodate him, so that he could enter the palace to avoid sainthood.

After all, this military situation cannot be delayed, if it is a few days later, if it is really the border postcode, I really want to kill the head and cannot afford to pay compensation.

But when Meng Rong found Kong Youde, he saw Kong Youde waving his hand, "Lord Meng, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really that today is different, and I have to go to great lengths to enter the palace now to see if Your Majesty's mood is good."

Fortunately, there is nothing too urgent in our Ministry of Rites, unlike your Ministry of War, this matter cannot be delayed.

In this way, I suggest you write a note and let the little eunuch bring it in to Father-in-law Jingyun, bypass the imperial study, maybe this thing can be done. ”

But Meng Rong was a little angry when he heard it, "Master Kong, we are officials in the same dynasty, and we are all admitted to the imperial examination, but we have to rely on those internal officials, what is the reason?"

Besides, Father-in-law Jingyun is no longer a director, is he willing to help me out now? ”

Kong Youde smiled bitterly, "It's not impossible, if you can pass it directly to Your Majesty, it's okay." ”

Meng Rong saw Kong Hede's ridiculous look, and he also knew that now His Majesty the Emperor was indulging in pleasure every day, and he had no interest in the last dynasty at all.

Not to mention that it is to give a recital to the emperor, if he wants to say something when he is exempted from sainthood, he may not be willing to listen to it.

"Hey, the military situation at the border is urgent, and the drought in this Wuyan country is abandoned, and I am afraid that there will be a war this year, so we must prepare in all aspects."

Kong and De spread their hands, "Moral articles, I can still say two sentences; As for the war, I don't understand, so I have to work a lot on Master Meng. ”

Meng Rong could only sigh, "In the peaceful and prosperous world, everyone knows that they enjoy Qingfu, but if we really want to fight, we still have to work outside the soldiers, and we are just dispatching."

Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to be idle this year. ”

Kong Youde looked at Meng Rong's serious appearance and knew that this small raid might really lead to a big war.

"Lord Meng, the battle between us and Wuyan Kingdom is a matter of time, and you also know Your Majesty's temperament. Now, it's just a matter of accumulating strength.

Moreover, we just showed our military might in the country of Bai Zhi in the autumn and winter of last year, and although everything went well, we also occupied their territory.

However, after all the money was spent, there are still many people who stay there and cannot come back.

If we really want to start a war with the Wuyan Kingdom now, will our people be able to bear it? ”

Meng Rong narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought carefully. Then he said slowly, "There are many things that you can't start when you're ready. If His Majesty has the intention of going to war, it will be a small provocation that will be fought back.

But if they have no intention of fighting and are unwilling to go on another expedition, they will not pay attention to it if they set foot on Yongning City.

Or, when you reach Pingcheng, you can still be free in the palace.

However, I don't think my Majesty the Emperor will let this happen. ”

Kong Youde was still not at ease, "If it was placed in the past, of course Your Majesty would have to fight back immediately, but if you look at the current situation, is Your Majesty still the same Majesty as before?" ”

When Meng Rong heard this, his face, which was already long, was now stretched longer.

As Emperor Xuande of the campus who ascended the throne of the Yuanzong Branch, he was originally recognized by the Ministry of War for his martial arts, but now, it has only been the sixth year of Hongqing, and he has shown this kind of fatigue, could it be that the stop of Bai Zhiguo really destroyed the belligerent heart of Emperor Xuande?
