Chapter 411: Divine Decree
With the help of the queen, Chen Youyi's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them caught up for a while before parting.
It didn't take long for the emperor's decree to come down, asking Chen Youyi to help Wang Yunshan collect grain and grass within a month, and if the grain and grass were collected, Qin Ziheng would be released.
With this holy decree, Chen Youyi finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and after the father-in-law who sent the holy decree left, she slumped on the chair, "This matter is finally going to pass, and I can finally save the life of my father-in-law." ”
"But where are we going to collect so much grain and grass? Even the adults in the court can't do it, how can we do it? We don't have that much money. Xiaoxue on the side said, as if pouring a basin of cold water on Chen Youyi.
But Chen Youyi already had a plan in her heart.
"I'll do it, and since I've asked for it, I'll be able to do it." She said confidently.
In the next few days, Chen Youyi went to Lord Wang almost every day to discuss with him about raising grain and grass, and Chen Youyi took out all his belongings to buy grain and grass, but it was still a big step short of the goal required by the emperor.
Seeing that more than half a month had passed, and less than half of the grain and grass had been raised, this made Lord Wang a little anxious, and he came to Chen Youyi's tailor shop this day to ask what to do next.
"It turned out to be Lord Wang, why are you here, hurry up and invite in the house." Chen Youyi warmly invited Lord Wang into the house.
After sitting down, Lord Wang stopped Chen Youyi, "I came here today to discuss the matter of grain and grass with you, more than half of the time has passed, but less than half of the grain and grass has been raised, what should you do next?" You must know that Le Zhengzong's side is staring at this matter, once your grain and grass are not raised, they will have to attack Qin Ziheng. ”
Chen Youyi understood this very well in her heart, but she didn't look nervous at all, "Don't worry, there will definitely be grain and grass that should be available." ”
This made Wang Yunshan frown tightly, a little puzzled, "Where do you plan to get the rest of the grain and grass?" ”
"In a few days, Lord Wang will know." Chen Youyi didn't intend to tell the story directly.
Wang Yunshan also understood in his heart that the reason why Chen Youyi didn't say things so clearly was actually because he was wary of the people on Le Zhengzong's side.
When the empress put forward Chen Youyi's idea in front of the emperor, the emperor immediately recruited Wang Yunshan into the palace and discussed the matter of grain and grass with him.
And in the early morning of the next day, Wang Yunshan said that the matter of grain and grass was extremely serious, which caused a panic among some people, worried that because of the lack of grain and grass, the soldiers in front would fail again and again, in that case, Chen State was likely to be annexed by Zhao State.
Therefore, the emperor instantly put forward this request, as long as Qin Ziheng can collect grain and grass within a month, he will be regarded as making up for his mistakes and letting Qin Ziheng go.
But under Le Zhengzong's opposition, Qin Ziheng still had to stay in prison, unable to come out or meet with people outside, and this matter fell on Chen Youyi.
This in itself was Chen Youyi's plan, so she was happy to do so.
In the twenty days, they collected half of the grain and grass, and the other half was left, and Chen Youyi was just busy with the things in the store all day long, and even helped people design some clothes, without any hurry.
"You said that Chen Youyi has been in the tailor shop all along?" After listening to what his own people said, Le Zhengzong had some doubts in his heart.
"Yes, my lord, she is only busy with business matters every day, and occasionally meets with Lord Wang, but the meeting time is not long, and there is nothing else to do after that, and I don't know what this Chen Youyi is doing, she is busy with business every day, and she doesn't look like she is worried at all."
These words made Le Zhengzong frown tightly, "What kind of medicine is sold in this girl's gourd?" ”
The people under his command said, "Your Excellency doesn't have to be too anxious, the grain and grass have just been collected halfway, and the other half is still missing, and the remaining time is not enough for them to prepare, the grain and grass in several states and counties around the capital have already been collected by us, and it is impossible for them to find grain and grass here." ”
The authentic eyes narrowed slightly, sat down on the seat next to him, and said angrily, "If the emperor hadn't suddenly changed his mind and made such a move, Qin Ziheng would have died in my hands a long time ago." ”
Thinking about not killing Qin Ziheng, Le Zhengzong was extremely angry in his heart.
"My lord, we still have time, as long as they don't leave the capital, we will have a chance to start sooner or later, if we miss this time and the next time, you don't have to worry, what's more, I don't know if they can raise grain and grass this time, if the grain and grass are not raised, Qin Ziheng will not survive."
After his subordinates said this, Le Zhengzong's face showed a slight smile, "Then I'll wait and see what kind of ability this eldest princess of Chen Guo has." ”
After finishing speaking, he thought of other things, so he instructed the people around him, "You go and call all the people I told you before to my house, I have important matters to discuss with them, although it is unlikely that they will collect grain and grass, but we should also be fully prepared, in case they collect all the grain and grass, we should also be prepared for what to do next." ”
Le Zhengzong is such a treacherous and cunning, so he has a great advantage in the battle between the court and China, and many people follow his orders and stand on his side.
This way.
The deadline given by the emperor was about to arrive, Wang Yunshan couldn't sit still, and ran to Chen Youyi's tailor shop again to ask, "There are still three days to go, and it's already time, but I see that you are only busy with the business in the tailor shop every day, and you don't do anything else, and half of the grain and grass have not been collected, are you really not worried?" ”
"Worried, of course I'm worried, but what's the use of worrying if you can't solicit it? All the grain, grass and grain in the prefectures and counties around the capital have been collected, and even if we don't care about the lives of the common people and forcibly snatch the grain from them, it will not be enough. ”
Wang Yunsheng also understood this in his heart, but this method was proposed by Chen Youyi, and in the end, she didn't mind at all, "What kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?" ”
Seeing Wang Yunshan in such a hurry, Chen Youyi smiled and said, "Lord Wang, don't be too anxious, believe me, I can definitely handle this matter, and the grain and grass will definitely be sent here within the time limit." ”
Wang Yunshan felt that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't ask more in the end, "Since you said so, then I don't care about this matter, I hope that in the end, it will really be as you said." ”
