Chapter 142: The front line is tight
This person is the former general Ouyang Hu, this person is the descendant of the founding hero, he is also a military meritorious, reigned for more than ten years, fought a lot of victories, people to middle age, the old disease recurred, it is not suitable to go to the battlefield again, the emperor gave him a position of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses.
However, at this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, and every word was like a hammer smashing into people's hearts.
"The old minister is dull and not sensitive to power, but he also knows that in this court, it is normal to fight for power, but now the war is tight, and the soldiers are guarding our homes and the country, but in the end, some people joke about food and grass, which is really chilling!"
Ouyang Hu said, two cloudy tears suddenly welled up in a pair of vicissitudes of life, and the painful look on his face made everyone else can't help but look sideways.
Even the emperor's heart added a trace of sourness, and his voice was a little heavier.
"Aiqing, don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter!"
"Your Majesty is wise, but for this matter, the old minister and the general have different views, and the general said that there are people who are intriguing and deliberately ignoring the grain and grass, but as we all know, the person who leads the troops to fight is the prince, and the person who escorts the grain and grass is also the prince's, so isn't it more likely that His Royal Highness the prince will insist on stealing himself?"
"Nonsense!"
Ouyang Hu bounced up directly from the ground, pointed at the old pedant who spoke just now, blew his beard and glared: "Murong Ze, your brain was kicked by a donkey, can you say this kind of thing?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sticks to the front line, how hard it is, so that people are cut off from food and grass, isn't it cut off their own way of life? ”
"What is the general so angry about? I'm just casually saying it, it's just a guess. ”
Compared with Ouyang Hu's jumping feet, Murong seemed much calmer, and his unhurried tone made people feel that what he said was right.
Everyone else in the court couldn't help but think about it, and many of them were a little undecided.
At this moment, the fifth prince suddenly glanced in one direction, and then a slender man stood up with a loud voice.
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that what Murong Taifu said is very true, the person who escorted the grain and grass is a capable general under His Royal Highness the Prince, and there has been nothing unusual on the way, but when he arrived at the battlefield soon, the grain and grass disappeared, which really makes people have to doubt it."
"Weichen also thinks so, and asks His Majesty to immediately issue an order to summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing as soon as possible."
"Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing as soon as possible."
"Please also ask Your Majesty to decree ......"
As soon as the man's words fell, it was like a hornet's nest, and many people echoed it and impeached His Royal Highness the Prince.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a pale face, a cold light flashing between his eyebrows.
"Don't make any noise! I have made up my own mind about this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the commander of the three armies, and it must be inappropriate to suddenly summon him back to Beijing, please discuss this matter later! ”
"At the moment, we should consider the matter of grain and grass......"
The emperor tried his best to suppress the voices of impeachment of the crown prince, but this matter still spread to the public.
The crown princess naturally knew about this, so she handed over the prayer note to the palace that afternoon, and after staying in the queen's palace for two hours, she hurriedly went to Feng Shiyi's courtyard with people.
Feng Shiyi had already heard some rumors, and now that he saw the princess coming in a panic, he knew that this matter was true, and immediately pulled someone into the room, so he asked in a low voice.
"Are the supplies that were sent really lost?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already asked someone to investigate this matter, and it should be the handiwork of the fifth prince."
The crown princess had a sad face, and her thin willow eyebrows were gathered into pimples: "Cutting off supplies is a taboo for soldiers, if there is not enough food and grass to support, how can soldiers stop the strong Hun soldiers?" This time, Your Highness's situation must be extremely dangerous. ”
"Don't worry, it's most useless to find out who is right and who is wrong at this time! In this way, I have also made a lot of money during this time, so please take it first, let the reassuring people buy grain and grass, and I will think of a way to do the rest. ”
Feng Shiyi bit his lower lip, hating for the first time that he didn't have enough money in his hand.
She has the ability to make delicious food, but now she has become a chicken rib.
Seeing her like this, the crown princess shook her head a little bitterly: "A person's power is still too small, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and more importantly, now the court is full of voices impeaching the prince, although the emperor sent someone to suppress it, but sooner or later it will spread to the people, and if we can't prove the innocence of His Royal Highness the prince, I'm afraid it will cause anger." ”
"In that case, let's strike first!"
Feng Shiyi's brows tightened into a Sichuan character, gritted his teeth, and leaned into the crown princess's ear and said a few words.
The expression on the crown princess's face changed again and again, and finally said with some hesitation.
"It's too risky, can it be useful?"
"This is the only way we have, the five princes can actually have a way to rob the grain and grass, presumably we have already made a perfect plan, at this time we blindly prove our innocence, but we will fall for their plan, it is better to put this matter aside."
Feng Shiyi gritted her teeth and said, she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, and when the princess saw her say this, she also let go of the worries in her heart and nodded fiercely.
Good! I'll do it! ”
The crown princess left with people, and sent more than a dozen people over that night, Feng Shiyi arranged these people into the guest room, turned around and took advantage of the night to touch out.
Early the next morning, as the crown princess worried, the streets and alleys began to spread the news that His Royal Highness the prince insisted on stealing, and many people spit on the prince when they mentioned it.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums on the street, and then Feng Shiyi's crisp voice sounded.
"There is a way for the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, but the current national crisis, the soldiers eat and sleep in the open, protect me and so on safe and sound, now the front line is tight, food and grass are cut off, please stop and donate a little strength to the front-line soldiers, and encourage the morale of the army!"
