Chapter 352: Rushing to Southern Xinjiang
Huang Futian saw Shen Yiyi's face change, but he didn't say anything to comfort him, but silently made a gesture of please, and stepped forward to lead the way.
Seeing Huang Futian like this, Shen Yiyi became more and more worried, and bit her lower lip vigorously before following him out.
Little Pepper chased after her, tightened her cloak for Shen Yiyi, and said, "Madam, I'll go with you, I'll wait for you outside the palace gate." ”
Shen Yiyi nodded, silent, as if as soon as she spoke, bad news would fall from the sky.
Little Pepper helped Shen Yiyi, got into the carriage at the door, and drove towards the palace gate surrounded by a group of guards.
In the night sky, fireworks bloom from time to time, but after a moment of splendor, it is even more boundless darkness. Shen Yiyi is not a pessimistic person, but she is not optimistic at all at this time, so she let herself stare at her and followed Huang Futian into the imperial study.
Behind the bookcase in the imperial study, the emperor's thick eyebrows were furrowed deeper than Shen Yiyi, and there was a row of military ministers standing in front of the case, including the military department Shangshu, the military department squire, the Shenwu general, and the king of Qin.
Shen Yiyi stepped forward and saluted the emperor.
The emperor looked at the squire of the military department: "Wang Heng, this is General Cai Li's wife, Shen, you can tell her the situation." ”
Wang Heng, the squire of the military department, arched his hand, responded to the matter, turned to Shen Yiyi, and said: "Mrs. Shen, here's the thing, the southern Xinjiang war report, General Cai Li was trapped in the jungle around Lanshan, and the army was facing a situation of running out of food, but the terrain of Lanshan was complicated, there were almost no serious roads, and the enemy army was scattered, and the army could not be transported in, so the emperor urgently summoned me and others to discuss the method together." ”
So, Cai Li is okay for the time being? He didn't die in battle? Shen Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that the whole person was alive again. She closed her eyes, straightened out her thoughts, and asked, "Is it because the emperor summoned his concubines because they are the wives of General Cai Li, or because I am responsible for the military rations of the southern Xinjiang sergeants?" ”
Is it a bad thing or a good thing that a woman is too smart? The emperor looked at Shen Yiyi and nodded slightly: "Both." The military rations could not be transported into Lanshan, and the southern Xinjiang sergeants were about to run out of food, so we had to think of a way. I plan to send the King of Qin deep into Lanshan to deliver military rations to General Cai Li, but the King of Qin will bring a team of ten people at most, and how to choose this military ration is a big problem. ”
Wang Heng added: "It must be a military ration that is light and easy to carry, and not easy to perish. According to the battle report, there were at least 200 officers and men of our army besieged in Arashiyama, and 10 people carried enough military rations for 200 people, which was not a simple matter. ”
It's not just not simple, it's simply an impossible task, and all the ministers present said silently in their hearts.
Shen Yiyi's focus was not in the same direction as everyone, she couldn't help but set her eyes on King Qin, and did not hide the doubts in her eyes.
Who doesn't know that she had a holiday with King Qin, and asked King Qin to send military rations to her husband, whose idea was this?
The task is already difficult, if King Qin deliberately slacks off his work and then puts the blame on the sinister environment, who can help him?
Shen Yiyi's attitude was too obvious, and the emperor couldn't avoid it if he wanted to, so he had to explain to her in front of these courtiers: "King Qin has lofty ambitions, and he is definitely not a person who focuses on personal grievances, this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to send military rations to General Cai Li, and I believe that he will be able to handle this errand well." ”
King Qin took the initiative to ask for help? What kind of heart does he have? Shen Yiyi was deeply skeptical. However, the emperor had patiently explained, and it was inconvenient for her to question it in public, so she changed the topic: "Regarding the matter of carrying military rations, the concubines will find a way, and they will start work when they go back tonight, and present the finished product to the emperor tomorrow morning." ”
Will you be able to hand over the finished product tomorrow morning? Don't even need to discuss with everyone? The emperor was very surprised: "I know that it is right to summon you." Then you hurry back and prepare, I will ask Huang Futian to send you. ”
Shen Yi bowed and retired, leaving the imperial study. Huang Futian stepped forward to lead the way, and with a wave of his hand as if unintentionally, he retreated from the little eunuch and palace maid who accompanied him.
Shen Yiyi knew that she had something to say to her, and called: "Father-in-law Huang." ”
"Mrs. Shen." Huang Futian touched the dust in his arms and said, "In Layueli, the war in the northwest broke out again, but fortunately, the general of the northern part of the country bravely killed the enemy, and the scene was suppressed, otherwise everyone would not be able to live a stable year." ”
Deliberately retreated, just to talk to her about the war in the northwest? What does this have to do with her? Shen Yiyi glanced at Huang Futian and asked, "Who is this general who is the ......?" ”
Huang Futian secretly said "smart" and replied: "This general of the Northern Expedition is the nephew of the current Queen Mother and the cousin of King Qin. ”
Shen Yiyi understood that now that the queen mother's family has risen, even the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan has to buy a few thin noodles, and according to the wishes of King Qin, he is allowed to send military rations to Cai Li. Besides, King Qin wants to serve the country, and the emperor has no reason to stop him.
The emperor has the emperor's difficulties, Shen Yiyi can understand, but Cai Li is her husband and her lover, and she doesn't want him to be in the slightest danger.
Cai Li is now trapped in Lanshan, there is a shortage of military food, he must be tired and hungry, it makes people worry when he thinks about it, how can she let his rear have problems again?
Shen Yiyi thought about it, and her tone couldn't be softened: "Gonggong Huang, that's two hundred soldiers of our dynasty, two hundred lives, as far as I know, the King of Qin has never gone on an expedition, isn't it a bit too child's fun to send him to carry out such a difficult military task?" ”
Huang Futian smiled slightly, took out a sachet from his sleeve, and handed it to Shen Yiyi.
The bag looked ordinary, but the materials were bright yellow, Shen Yiyi was taken aback, and took it with both hands: "The emperor has a secret decree?" ”
Huang Futian nodded slightly: "Please also ask Mrs. Shen to look at it after getting in the car, and destroy it immediately after reading it." ”
Shen Yiyi hurriedly answered, said goodbye to Huang Futian, and walked to the palace gate.
When she walked out of the palace gate, a light snow drifted in the air, and the cold wind blew on her face, which was painful, but it was extraordinarily sober.
Little Pepper trotted all the way up to meet her and draped a thick cloak over her: "Madam, what did the emperor say over there?" Is there something wrong with the general? ”
Shen Yiyi didn't want her to worry, and smiled at her: "The general is fine, the emperor ordered me to rush to make military rations, and I have to start work tonight." ”
It's okay to be fine, it's not a matter to rush to make military rations, even if today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Little Pepper was relieved and helped Shen Yiyi into the car: "Then the lady has to go out tonight?" ”
It's not the first time Shen Yiyi has made military rations, the rules and little pepper know everything, this military ration is definitely not made in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, there will be a car to pick it up later, and everything has to be kept secret.
Shen Yiyi nodded, ordered her to hold the lamp, and opened the bag.
