Chapter 173: Disaster Relief
Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen rushed to the main hall, and the moment they saw Fuzhu, the couple were shocked for a moment.
When Fuzhu saw Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen, he immediately saluted respectfully.
"The slave maid has seen Second Young Master Su, Second Young Lady."
Fuzhu still learned the rules of the capital before coming to the capital, firstly, she didn't want to lose the face of the grassland, and secondly, she came here this time because she had something important to discuss with Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen.
"Fuzhu, why are you here?"
Seeing Fuzhu, Shen Baiqing realized that something should have happened to the grassland, otherwise, Zamuhe would never send Fuzhu over, you must know that the relationship between Shen Baiqing and Fuzhu is the best, and Zamuhe probably also took this into account before asking Fuzhu to enter Beijing.
"Back to the Second Young Lady, the Khan asked me to personally come and send a secret letter to the Second Young Master Su and the Second Young Lady."
Fuzhu said and handed the letter in his hand to Shen Baiqing, and Shen Baiqing handed it to Su Bowen, and the interaction between the husband and wife was seen in the eyes of Su Zhiyuan and Su Boxing in the main hall.
Su Zhiyuan has always been very satisfied with Shen Baiqing, and I have to say that Shen Baiqing has Su Bowen in his heart, so Su Zhiyuan is not worried that Shen Baiqing will overpower Su Bowen's demeanor.
The two read the contents of the letter, Su Bowen handed the letter to his father, and Su Zhiyuan read it and handed it to Su Boxing.
For a while, everyone looked solemn.
Su Bowen looked at Fuzhu and asked.
"Isn't there a lot of grain and grass stored in the grassland before?"
"There was indeed a lot of grain and grass in the grassland reserve before, but before the imperial court fought with the western border, there were a lot of refugees on the border city, and our people were robbed by that group of people on the way to escort the grain and grass, and then that group of people blatantly brought people to the grassland to grab food."
As soon as he mentioned the situation at that time, a trace of fear still flashed in Fuzhu's eyes, and when he learned about it, Shen Baiqing reassured.
"Fuzhu, we all know the general situation of the matter, I have ordered someone to arrange a place for you to live, you can rest first, I will look for you if there is anything."
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
Fuzhu left the main hall, and the other four people in the main hall fell into deep thought.
If something happened to the grassland, it was impossible for the imperial court to ignore it, and if it hadn't been for Zamuhe's help before, the attack on the western territory and the cultivation of war horses would not have gone so smoothly.
In the final analysis, this is still due to Zamuhe.
In this way, Su Bowen looked at Su Zhiyuan and said.
"Father, I'm afraid I need to inform Your Majesty about this matter, the grassland people have suffered such a catastrophe, and the court can't ignore it at this time."
"I'll change into my official uniform and enter the palace to face the saint."
Su Zhiyuan knew that this matter was a big matter, and he was busy taking Su Boxing into the palace.
After Su Zhiyuan and Su Boxing met His Majesty, he informed His Majesty of the ins and outs of this matter, and His Majesty was very dissatisfied when he learned of it.
On the same day, His Majesty summoned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into his imperial study, and the father and son didn't know what to talk about.
Soon, His Majesty drafted a decree and ordered the prince to personally lead the team, and Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing accompanied him to deal with the matter.
With such a will, the eyes of the whole capital were once again on the Su family, and now His Majesty's reuse of the Su family is obvious to all.
After Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing simply packed up, they set off with His Royal Highness the Prince.
The group went to Linzhou, which is the junction of the imperial court and the grassland, and there is an army stationed there, so it will be safer.
On the way, Fuzhu saw that Shen Baiqing looked haggard, and he also knew that a lot of things had happened in these days, and it was not easy for Shen Baiqing to come out with them.
Noticing Fuzhu's gaze, Shen Baiqing instead comforted her.
"Don't worry, we will go to Linzhou this time, and we will definitely solve the problem of Linzhou."
"Second Young Lady, I'm really sorry, I want to trouble you and the Second Young Master to help the grassland."
"We have been friends with the Khan for a long time, and now it makes people feel a little rude to say this, don't want it, but because of this, it's not so bad."
"Hmm."
During the break, Su Bowen specially visited Shen Baiqing, and seeing that Shen Baiqing was fine, Su Bowen was also relieved.
At this time, the prince invited Su Bowen to talk to Shen Baiqing, and the couple came to His Royal Highness the prince and saluted respectfully.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince's gaze kept looking at Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing, and then nodded with satisfaction, as if he was very satisfied with Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen.
"Please, we are both of the same age, and some things don't have to be so formal."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so considerate of his courtiers, it is a blessing for his courtiers, but the rules and etiquette cannot be abolished."
Su Bowen will not forget his father's previous instructions, and this time with the prince, he can't show his intention to join the prince.
The Su family must be loyal ministers, not attached to any party, and only obey His Majesty's wishes.
The prince was aware of Su Bowen's actions, he just smiled, then looked at Shen Baiqing, and said.
"Second Mrs. Su is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, this prince has heard a lot of stories about Second Mrs. Su before, and today I saw it really extraordinary."
"Your Highness is polite, the courtiers are just a little clever, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance."
"Second Mrs. Su, don't be so polite, Second Mrs. Su's skills have been heard of by the prince, otherwise this time when he goes to Linzhou, his father will not decide to let Second Mrs. Su go with him."
"It is a blessing for the courtiers to be able to go to Linzhou with His Royal Highness the Prince."
Seeing that the three of them were too polite, the prince began to get back to business.
"This prince plans to set up a porridge shed in Linzhou, so that the people of the grassland and even the refugees from the border can have a bite to eat, I don't know what the two of you think?"
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked what they meant, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen glanced at each other, and Su Bowen replied.
"Your Highness's move is very good, and it is what we can do now."
Su Bowen's original plan was the same, the main thing happened too suddenly, but fortunately, after the battle between the imperial court and the western border, the western border paid a lot of tribute of grain and grass, which can be regarded as filling the vacancy of the imperial court's previous march and war.
Now the grain and grass in the imperial court are very rich, and it is not a problem to help the people of the grassland.
In this way, the convoy continued to march, and after the convoy successfully arrived in Linzhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally arranged to set up porridge sheds in various parts of Linzhou.
Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen were responsible for connecting with the people from the grassland, and when the people saw the two, they were very excited in their hearts, and they were busy kowtowing to the two, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen were not happy in their hearts.
You must know that when they went to the grassland before, the life of the grassland people was quite good, but now the grassland has no way to go to the border city to transfer grain and grass, and it is estimated that the life of the border city is not easy, and I don't know what is going on.
Shen Baiqing looked at Su Bowen and said softly.
"Husband, I'm afraid that the sky in the border city has changed."
"Don't be afraid, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth."
"That's right."
