Baili Junyi ignored Han Qi, walked to the other pots that had been set up, opened the lids and looked at them all. The things in the pot are much the same, basically they are all things that are difficult to eat, how can you have the strength to kill the enemy when you eat such things?

Han Qi knelt on the ground with an expression of admitting punishment. Baili Junyi turned his head to look at him: "You told me before that the grain and grass in your army can still support half a month, so you tell me that if I didn't find out that there was no food in the army, how would you plan to spend this half a month?" Let my soldiers eat the roots, chew the bark, and eat the spoiled rice mixed with sand? ”

Han Qi's face was full of shame: "The last general's crime deserves death, please punish the emperor." Originally, the emperor had already ordered the warehouse to be opened and grained, but the magistrate of Suicheng did not open the warehouse on time, and the people outside were almost starving to death, and the general couldn't watch them starve to death and ignore it! The people of Suicheng are the families of these soldiers, and all the adult men of Suicheng have come here to defend the country, and the last general will not be able to watch them shed blood and tears! ”

The other soldiers had already rushed over, and after seeing Han Qi, they all knelt behind him: "Your Majesty, what General Han did was for the sake of the minions and others, if the emperor wants to punish him, please punish the minions and spare General Han!" ”

Baili Junyi swept over the kneeling soldiers, they all had a haggard look, but the eyes that looked at Han Qi were full of respect. Ye Yi walked over quickly: "Your Majesty, a lot of people gathered outside, they came over with rations, saying that they would return the grain and grass to General Han, and asked the emperor not to punish the general." ”

Baili Junyi wanted to walk outside the camp: "Go and see." ”

Seeing the emperor leaving, Han Qi hurriedly glanced at the soldiers behind him: "This matter is my own decision, it has nothing to do with you, what kind of excitement you have, get out of the way, hurry up, stand guard, stand guard, sentry and sentry, hurry up!" ”

"General Han, we are willing to accept the punishment with the general."

"! Lao Tzu has nothing to worry about, you all have families, what kind of big-headed ghosts, Lao Tzu is not rare, hurry up, where can I use you. ”

"General......

"This is a military order, go back!"

The soldiers were silent, and Han Qi saw the emperor walking away, glared at the soldiers fiercely, and quickly followed. The door of the camp tent was full of people, at this time their faces were full of worry, they looked at the door of the camp tent with blank eyes, and after seeing Baili Junyi, they knelt on the ground with a brush: "I have seen the emperor, please don't punish General Han." ”

Baili Junyi looked at a group of people with yellow faces and thin muscles, his eyes became deeper and deeper, he raised his hand, and said loudly: "I have a general understanding of what happened. Where is the prefect of Suicheng? ”

"The lower official is here." An official who followed Baili Junyi walked out, cold sweat constantly breaking out on his forehead.

"I ask you, where is the grain in the official warehouse of Suicheng? I ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, why didn't you do it? ”

"Wechen...... Wechen deserves death, granary...... There is no grain in the granary......"

"No food to put in? Although I have only recently ascended the throne, the first emperor will order the grain to be stockpiled every year, so has the city not received the holy decree? ”

“…… Got ......"

"Then why don't you follow the holy decree to store food?"

"Wechen...... We-Chen......"

Some people below couldn't help but shout: "We handed over the grain according to the regulations, and then the grain was resold by this corrupt official!" ”

"Yes, the grass people can also testify, six layers of grain are levied every year, and then this dog official will sell the grain!"

Baili Junyi looked at the prefect who was kneeling on the ground and sweating like pulp, pulled out a long sword from his waist, and cut off his head with a sword!

The people fell silent, and then burst into applause: "Good! ”

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Baili Junyi looked at the people with excited faces, and said in a cold voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you still know that those officials are privately favoritism, corruption and bribery, even if people sue me, if it is verified to be true, I will give you an explanation with my own hands!" General Han Qi used grain and grass privately, and such an act violated military law, so it must not go unpunished. ”

The people were in a commotion: "Your Majesty, General Han Qi is a good person......"

"If it weren't for General Han, we would all starve to death......"

Baili Junyi spoke again, his voice was clearly chaotic, but his voice was clearly spreading: "I understand that there is a reason for what Han Qi has done, but such behavior cannot be connived at, so I ordered him to be the vanguard and follow me to personally kill the enemy to atone for his crimes!" You can all bring back the food that is distributed, but I have a reluctant request, and I also ask you to save as much as possible, I don't have much grain and grass with me, but as long as we defeat the army of the Great Viet Kingdom, we will be able to get food and grass from them! ”

The eyes of the people below lit up, and Han Qi also looked at the emperor in a daze, he didn't expect that the crime he committed would be lightly exposed like this, as a pioneer to kill the enemy, okay, isn't what he is looking forward to is to go into battle to kill the enemy? His parents and little sister were killed by the soldiers of Da Yue, and he lived to kill the enemy!

Baili Junyi continued to speak: "Ye Yi, distribute the food I brought, and let the soldiers have a full meal first." Han Qi, vacate your tent, and I will rest in the army tonight. ”

"Your Majesty, the conditions in this army are difficult, you ......"

"Needless to say, the soldiers can stand the charge, how can I not stand it?" With that, he turned and walked towards the camp.

Han Qi raised his hand and wiped it on his face, and hurriedly got up to clean up his camp: The emperor is really not an ordinary person!

Baili Junyi began to arrange here, and in Kyoto, Shen Ninghua did not relax.

After Bizhu counted the contents of the treasury, a large amount of silver was generally distributed. Many squire grain merchants are sensible, knowing that at this time, the national disaster should not be made, and when the royal family is willing to buy it, they keep enough for themselves to eat, and sell the rest to the royal family.

However, there are some people who are unwilling to live or die, Shen Ninghua asked people to check one by one, generally such people have some illegal deeds behind their backs, and finally went directly to prison, so a few people were investigated, and there were many fewer people who stirred up trouble, after all, they honestly sold the grain, although the price was on the side, but they earned a good reputation and money, and they resolutely did not sell, and they could not get anything from being raided, and they would be spurned by the people.

Shen Ninghua listened carefully to the reports of the officials below: "Queen Mother, now that the price of grain has risen sharply, the people are panicking, and even some bad rumors have come out. ”

Shen Ninghua raised his eyes, and the dark light of the Dao Dao circulated in his eyes: "Bad rumors? ”

"Yes, someone spread the conditions put forward by the Great Yue Kingdom before, and many people didn't know what was going on, so they thought they should ......."

"Should Hongu be abolished?"

"Please calm your anger."

Shen Ninghua sneered: "If the abolition of the rear position of the palace can quell a war, even if the palace sacrifices its lives, it will not let the people endure the war, but the war between the two countries consumes so much manpower and material resources, and so much blood is shed, it is a matter that can be solved by the abolition of a queen?" ”

"Yes, what Niangniang said is reasonable."

"You guys should step back first, tomorrow morning, there are some things to do in this palace, let Prince De and the third prince and the fourth prince also participate."

"Yes, sissy." The third prince Baili Jinyu and the fourth prince Baili Jinjing ...... Since the death of the first emperor, they have never been to the court, and now the queen mother let them come, it seems that something is wrong, and it is better to be careful tomorrow.

Shen Ninghua returned to the apse and couldn't help but sit in his seat stunned. Hongling stepped forward to help her pinch her shoulders to relieve her fatigue from watching the folds for many days: "Niangniang, you also have to pay attention to your body, after all, your body was seriously damaged before, and you haven't completely recovered." ”

Shen Ninghua closed her eyes: "Things are one after another, where is there time for me to rest." What about the kids? ”

"The third prince has already fallen asleep, and the eldest prince and the princess are watching from the sidelines."

"Well, how is the matter of the fourth prince?"

"Although it is confirmed that he contacted the officials, the evidence is not conclusive, and the rumors have also been found on the head of the fourth prince, but there is no conclusive evidence."

Shen Ninghua opened his eyes, and his cold color flashed: "In a special period, special means are needed, and if the evidence is not evidence, it is not important." ”

"Yes, when the country is in danger, the four princes are still only concerned about fighting for power and profit, and it is really not appropriate to spread some rumors that shake the people at this time."

Shen Ninghua took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "How is the emperor's side?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, there is no news yet."

"Isn't there also a grain merchant's warehouse in the northwest, send a message to Bizhu, and ask her to find a way to send the grain of the northwest grain merchant to Suicheng first, and then slowly mobilize grain to the northwest, which can save time, and avoid the emperor having no grain in his hands and falling into an embarrassment. Remember, you must send more men and horses, and don't let anything happen to the grain and grass. ”

"Yes, sissy."

When Hongling went down, Shen Ninghua couldn't help but walk to the window and looked out of the window: "In the most luxurious palace, there is a depressed scene, not to mention the bitter cold land in the northwest. Jun Yi, you want to cherish it. ”

Suicheng garrison camp tent, Baili Junyi looked at the army deployment map, his face was full of solemnity: "I expected it wrong, the situation in the northwest cities is estimated to be similar to Suicheng, the grain and grass in each city are extremely tight, if it can't be solved as soon as possible, it won't be long before many cities will be self-defeating, and when the time comes, ...... Where is Da'an? ”

Ye Yi said: "Your Majesty, the matter may not be so serious......

"No, things are only going to get worse, and there can be no fluke at this time. Ye Yi, light the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, I need to win a battle and suppress the arrogance of the Great Yue Kingdom! ”

"Your Majesty, once there is a war, our grain and grass will only be enough to support it for seven days, if it is ...... within seven days"

Baili Junyi lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on the map: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own way." ”

"Yes."

When Ye Yi went out, Baili Junyi couldn't help but take out a beautiful purse from his arms, which was embroidered by Shen Ninghua himself, he was reluctant to hang it on his waist, so he kept carrying it in his arms: "Ninghua...... I miss you so much......"
