After laughing and playing, the relationship between the two people is better than before. On the second day, when he had breakfast, An Mingchen remembered the business mentioned by the emperor yesterday. Although Huangfu Xue is smart, she is also a woman, although she is now an imperial businessman, he doesn't want him to work too hard, and hopes that she can do what she likes while protecting herself and taking care of herself.

But once she comes into contact with the trade between the two countries, she will be busy, and when the time comes, I am afraid that she will not have time to talk to herself. Thinking of this, An Mingchen was a little unhappy, but he didn't want to blindly make a decision for him, after thinking about it, he still opened his mouth, "The emperor wants you to try to try the business cooperation with Nanyue, what do you think here, if you don't want to ......"

"Such a good thing, I am naturally willing." Huangfu Xue was slightly stunned and then hurriedly made a statement, only to find that An Mingchen's face was a little wrong, "What's wrong, your face doesn't seem to be very good, but what's uncomfortable." An Mingchen had already guessed that this would be the result, but when he really heard these words, he still felt a little neglected in his heart, "I'm fine, it's not too early, I'll go to the yamen first." ”

"Xianggong, don't you want me to do this?" Huang Fuxue looked at her carefully, and when she got up, she suddenly spoke. His mind was exposed, An Mingchen looked to the side in a little panic, and then quickly covered his emotions, "What nonsense, I told you before, no matter what you decide, I will accompany you and support you, and this time is the same." Since you have agreed, I will tell the emperor about this matter as soon as possible, and you will prepare earlier. ”

Doing business in partnership with the Nanyue royal family, it is natural to know more about the preferences and taboos over there. Huang Fuxue got the right word, so he asked someone to inquire on the same day, and when An Mingchen entered the palace in the morning to talk to the emperor about business, he mentioned this matter by the way, the emperor was originally worried that Huangfu Xue would hesitate for two days, but I heard that he didn't want to agree directly, his face was full of happiness, but he was happy and worried quickly in his heart.

Nanyue's trade has always been more developed than them, this time the two countries are interconnected with trade, it seems to be mutually beneficial, in fact, there are also obscurities, there are more outsiders in the capital, there are more potential safety hazards, and there are many ill-intentioned people to guard against, plus Nanyue suddenly put forward such an idea, whether it is sincere or has other plans, and the emperor is not sure for a while. It's just that the treasury is empty, and the disasters in Jiangnan and Northwest need silver, and now even if they know that Nanyue has bad intentions, they can only accept it first, and then go to the bottom.

"I'm not in a hurry about this matter, it's best to inquire carefully before doing it. If anything happens, I'll help you. The emperor made his position clear, An Mingchen breathed a sigh of relief when he thanked him, and when he returned to the house in the evening, Huangfu Xue put the collected information on the table, and when he came back, he pulled him over to see, "Look at these, these are all things I asked someone to collect and inquire about today." Nanyue is richer than we imagined, and has also traded with several nearby countries in recent years. It also brought the other countries to live better. Nanyue's move, the people in the capital are very optimistic, I think this matter can really be done. ”

An Mingchen saw that Huangfu Xue couldn't wait, and he couldn't wait to see Nanyue's envoy tomorrow, grabbed his hand, and sighed slightly, "I know that you are worried about those people in the northwest, don't worry, the disaster relief food is almost ready, and Zhang Ting will come back from Jiangnan soon." The disaster in Jiangnan has been brought under control, and believe me, the northwest side will soon be under control. The situation in Nanyue is more complicated than you think, I can promise you to prepare first, but you must get my consent to meet those missions on that day. ”

"Why? Didn't you agree to it before, besides, this time the emperor personally said it, and you can't resist the decree. Huangfu Xue didn't know An Mingchen's worries, but thought that he didn't want her to be so tired, and while he was happy, he still wanted to make money as soon as possible and help more people. An Mingchen said lightly, but he is a businessman, and the news in the mall is much better than him, and he has been buying food recently, but it is not as easy as she said.

The price of grain has continued to rise recently because of the disaster, but the court has no more money to come up again, so it can only buy a little less food, but the victims will not be less, so that the food sent over is just barely starved to death. But no one knows when the disaster will really pass, and even if God opens their eyes, the victims will have to wait until the autumn harvest if they want to recover, and there is still a month between now and the autumn harvest.

A month may not seem like a long time, but for the hungry victims, a day is a year, let alone a month. Huang Fuxue couldn't bear it every time she thought of this, and she hoped more and more that she could have more ability to help these people, and this cooperation with Nanyue was an opportunity.

"Xianggong, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, I will be extra careful, and I will also take time to accompany you, and I will ensure that there will be no difference from before because of this matter, okay. Just promise me. Huang Fu Xue hugged An Mingchen coquettishly, An Mingchen smiled helplessly, although he was worried and finally nodded, starting the second day, Huang Fu Xue began to meet with the Nanyue Mission, and the conversation was good at first, who knew that two days later, the Nanyue Mission suddenly disappeared from her.

"I made an appointment with Master Zhang yesterday, why didn't he see me today. You go in and report it, is there a mistake? Huangfu Xue stood at the door of the post house, a little puzzled. Nanyue's guards directly invited Huang Fuxue out and didn't speak, Huang Fuxue had no choice but to go to the yamen and find An Mingchen to tell him what had just happened.

"What do you mean by that, didn't you say that Nanyue took the initiative to cooperate with us, we talked about it before, how to turn your face, I don't know what's going on." An Mingchen didn't know, but his intuition told him that something must have happened, otherwise Nanyue's people would not have suddenly changed their attitude so much. But what is it? An Mingchen couldn't figure it out for a while, and after thinking about it, he stood up, "You go home first, don't go out until I go back, I'll enter the palace next year." ”

"Xianggong, is there really something wrong?" In fact, she didn't notice An Mingchen's weirdness in the past two days, but she always thought that he was just worried that she was ignoring him and worried that she was in danger, but at this moment, she saw a different mood.

And this matter may be more serious than he thought. Huang Fuxue put away her emotions, stepped forward quickly, and said in a low and cautious voice, "Go, go early and come back early, I will wait for you at home." ”

In the palace, as soon as An Mingchen entered the imperial study, he told him about today's events, and when the emperor heard this, his face was solemn, he put down the fold in his hand, thought for a moment and said slowly, "What do you think about this matter." An Mingchen thought all the way, and he found a few reasonable explanations, but none of them were valid, then the rest was what the emperor and he didn't want to see, "Your Majesty, don't you think Nanyue's enthusiasm this time is a little strange?" ”

"What do you mean?" The emperor's heart tightened, and his eyes staring at An Mingchen were a little colder. An Mingchen arched his hand and spoke again, "Nanyue has been invading our border in the past few years, and the opportunity has to be fought once a year, but this year it is unusual, not only did he not do it, but he also took the initiative to send someone to show goodwill, which is also a good thing, but it is strange that at this juncture, they have changed their faces." The emperor said what they wanted to do. ”

"You want to catch us off guard." The emperor spoke coldly, and as soon as the words fell, the guards hurriedly ran in, holding an urgent report in their hands, and the father-in-law took it, and after the emperor opened it and read it quickly, his face became more and more ugly, "Nanyue is simply too deceitful, at first he used the emperor's uncle's matter to incite him, if I hadn't discovered it in time, now I'm afraid that they have already succeeded, who knows that they can't do it and come back a second time, this time they even attacked us with such a far-fetched reason, it's just too much deception." ”

"Your Majesty, is the urgent news coming from the front line?" When An Mingchen heard this, he took a few steps forward, "But Nanyue has increased his troops to the border pass." Now there is only General Yang stationed at the border pass, and there are not many soldiers and horses, will it ......" An Mingchen said, the emperor also thought of it, seeing that things were not right, the emperor immediately sent hundreds of officials into the palace to quickly discuss ways to deal with Nanyue, and an hour later, hundreds of officials entered the palace, and everyone gathered in the imperial study to discuss Nanyue's increase in troops.

Lord Shangshu has long had an opinion on An Mingchen, and now that he finally grabbed his handle, he naturally won't let it go easily, magnifying the matter extremely exaggeratedly, blaming An Mingchen for this sudden attack, An Mingchen didn't speak, the emperor opened his mouth first, "Enough, now is not the time to talk about this, and I know about it, and I also asked her to do it, why does Aiqing think I did it wrong?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen just wants to share the emperor's worries, find out the culprit of the matter, and give an explanation to the people." Lord Shangshu said lightly, but anyone can see his careful thoughts, and the emperor naturally sees it, if it is not for the urgency, the emperor really wants to teach him a lesson.

"There are only 50,000 soldiers at the border pass now, and there is only General Yang who leads the troops, I don't know if any of you are willing to take the initiative to ask for help, lead the troops to the border pass, and repel Nanyue." As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the imperial study instantly quieted down, and they all lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking, the emperor was already surprised, and waved his hand after half a ring, "Okay, you all go back and think about it, and I will ask for an answer tomorrow morning." ”

After everyone left, the emperor left An Mingchen behind, "You don't care about the affairs over there at the post house, let Mrs. An don't care about it anymore, let's talk about it after this matter is over." An Mingchen came out of the palace and went back to Huangfu's house directly, in the west courtyard, Huangfu Xue sat at the table with a heavy heart and waited for An Mingchen, and Li walked in with An Wanru, "Didn't you say that you are busy all day, why are you still sitting here and lazy." ”

"Mother, second sister, why are you here?" Huang Fuxue didn't have the spirit to deal with them, and said bluntly, "I'm a little tired today, let's talk about something tomorrow." The magpie helped me send my mother and second sister back. ”
