A heavy snowfall suddenly arrived, leaving the palace covered in snow.

This snow fell from the sky, which made the emperor feel very good, and the previous dynasty was safe and sound, but it snowed for three days, and when he was about to get tired of watching it, the war on the Northern Xia side had a change. Before the winter, General Yunlu invited tens of thousands of horses to the emperor, and out of trust in him, the emperor approved his application for the transfer of a firearms battalion, and the arrows and military salaries were also allocated.

It costs a lot of money, and what I want is to kill with one blow and cut off future troubles.

The war is about money and food, no matter how rich Yan Chi is, he doesn't want to spend too long in Northern Xia, it is a poor land, and there are not many resources to divide down, but he often harasses the people of Yan Chi.

With the best generals and sufficient logistics, the emperor felt that this battle would be won.

But it came with goose feathers and heavy snow, but it was a stalemate.

How can this be stalemate?

Not to mention the fact that the war is so far away, it is like going abroad for a drama crew, and the funds are burning if they are delayed for one more day. In ancient times, the march was even more severe, if the grain and grass could not keep up, there would be mutiny, and the soldiers would starve to death, and all that was consumed was Yan Chi's living power, and it was heartbreaking just to think about the emperor.

There are also firearms battalions......

This thing is nothing else, it's just expensive, and it's scarce.

Training a formation that knows how to use firearms is not cheap.

As for how expensive?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this battle should be fast and not delayed!"

The military department Shangshu performed myocardial infarction in court.

In the folds sent back by General Rong, he still asked the court for food, money, and people.

The emperor is not a harsh person, he knows very well that the cattle have to be fed and grazed when they plough the fields, so even if General Rong asked him for a huge amount before the expedition, he was under pressure and gave it when he should have it, without saying a word.

The main thing is a trust!

After all, the promise General Rong gave him before he set out on the expedition was that he wanted this number to ensure that the rebels would be defeated.

In fact, it is a stalemate, and there is still a faint decline in the excerpt.

Not only was the emperor angry, but the other ministers were also shocked and puzzled, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little Jiujiu in their hearts - General Rong is very powerful in the army, it won't be that he will support the army and respect himself after asking for money and food, and set himself up as the king! The concubine is still in the palace, and General Rong loves his daughter the most, and he has always seen it heavier than his eyeballs, and he will give the moon and stars together.

It's just a second thought, if you can succeed after having a different heart, what is one less eyeball?

This conjecture was accompanied by the chill outside the hall that permeated the civil and military officials.

"The change of generals before the battle shakes the morale of the army, and I will believe in him again." The emperor drafted the decree with stern words, indicating that this was the last time, and ordered General Rong to fight quickly. In fact, the emperor not only wanted him to hurry up, but also wanted him to clarify the whereabouts of military spending, but the enemy was in front, and it was not appropriate to suspect the generals, so he pressed it for the time being.

The officials were worried, and the dark clouds of the Xuanzheng Hall were overwhelming.

Just like the Serbian student sniping at the first bullet of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince, he did not know that he would trigger the First World War, and this mediocre military plane quickly caused political turmoil in the Yanchi Dynasty.

Guo Ruike handed over the excerpt and participated in Rong Xuetao's book, the evidence of bribery and party formation was conclusive, and in previous years, the emperor had sent Rong Xuetao to relieve the floods, among which he falsely reported the expenses, appointed cronies, and spent money on disaster relief and river control, which actually pushed this former favorite minister to the edge of the cliff.

The emperor sank like water, but he left the fold in the middle and did not send it, which made all the ministers anxious.

Could it be that the emperor's favor for the Rong family actually indulged Zhisi?

But after leaving the compromise in the middle, the emperor made another move - he rewarded Guo Ruike heavily.

The previous dynasty was turbulent, and the harem followed the people in panic.

Even Chang Zai, who was the most informed, also heard the rumors, it is best to settle down and not make trouble recently, and don't provoke Concubine Rong.

At the behest of the emperor, the queen cut off the communication channels between the concubine and the outside of the palace, and Guo Xiaoyi received a message from her father and mother before the "letter interception day" and knew this

It may be difficult to return to Rong's house, but it was her father Guo Ruike who fired the first shot in Wenchen.

The Rong family has been beautiful for so long, it's time to let the feng shui turn!

Guo Xiaoyi felt very happy.

She wanted to go to Zhaoyang Palace to visit Concubine Rong on the spot, but she was stopped by Xie Sheng.

"Don't worry, the concubine won't have a long life."

Xie Sheng: "I'm not worried about this."

"Then why are you holding me back? Could it be that you were bewitched by the Jiang clan and thought that the concubine was a good person?"

Guo Xiaoyi can't believe it!

What did Concubine Shu pour into her son***!

"Mother, you listen to me," Xie Sheng said helplessly, "Whether the Rong family falls or not, she is still the emperor's concubine. You went to the door to taunt her, and the concubine felt that with the temperament of the concubine, would she be forbearing, or would she be furious, and she would punish you heavily? I am a son of man, how can I sit back and watch my mother put herself in danger? Please think twice."

What Xie Sheng didn't say was that according to the concubine's affection for his father......

The seizure of Guo Xiaoyi is not a big deal.

A passage made Guo Xiaoyi wilt.

According to Concubine Rong's temperament, I am afraid that before she finishes her yin and yang weird words, she will be rewarded with ten slaps: "You are reasonable, I will look at her coldly to see how long she can be beautiful, and there will be times when she is unlucky!"

Guo Xiaoyi is easy to do things like death when she is hot-headed, and it is not easy for anyone to persuade her, but she can only listen to her son's words and avoid the pain of flesh and skin.

-----------------

Contrary to what Guo Xiaoyi thought, Concubine Rong's quality of life has not declined.

Only Concubine Rong herself felt that her voice in the harem was not as good as before, and the servants were not so attentive to her. In the eyes of others, the emperor did not leave the excerpt of Rong Xuetao, and the excerpt of General Rong's soldiers and food was also accurate, which shows that the Rong family has not fallen out of favor.

Jianzhang Palace.

Since giving birth to Princess Taihua, the queen's already sick body has become more deficient, and she stopped incense early, because after years of boiling decoction, no matter what kind of incense, the smell mixed with medicine is not very good.

The queen half-closed her eyes and asked the palace people waiting in the inner hall to withdraw.

Before withdrawing, Fu Jin put down the black decoction, and looked back at Jiang Xian with a worry, "If Fu Jin can't let go, I'll feed Niang Niang and drink the medicine later."

"The slave didn't dare, but the doctor said that the mother should recuperate recently, and she shouldn't worry too much."

The queen smiled, "Fujin, this kid, is just too worried. Let's go out, there's a concubine here, there's nothing to worry about, but say something considerate."

After everyone in the palace withdrew, the queen sighed: "Before the palace married the emperor, there were also a group of people who were waiting for her, and it became natural to get used to it, but recently I felt that they were nervous about the palace, as if they were afraid that the palace would go at any time," she paved the way, and said slowly: "This matter has nothing to do with the palace, but for the sake of the prince and Taihua, I have to call you."

Although the Chu family is a family, his style of acting is low-key and introverted, and he did not participate in this party struggle, and the queen has already stood at the top of the harem, and her career is at the end.

is valuable as a queen, and it is not without weaknesses.

Her weakness is her only daughter, Princess Taihua.

The queen has no system, she doesn't know that the emperor can live very well, she is afraid that she will not live long, and after the emperor dies, there is no one to protect Taihua, so she can only hope that the young emperor who will succeed to the throne in the future will treat her well, and she bets on the eldest prince, she is afraid that Jiang Xian, who has always been good friends with Concubine Rong, will misjudge the situation and affect the eldest prince.

"These words, this palace only speaks to you alone," the queen made the words clear and said, "The emperor did not leave the excerpt of Shenrong Xuetao, not to show mercy, but to wait for the general trend to be completed, to uproot it, you must not wade into this troubled water." It cannot be said that this matter has no effect on the concubine, but it will definitely not endanger her life."

Seeing Jiang Xian's expression, she was obviously mentally prepared, and the queen couldn't help but be surprised.

Jiang Xian said: "General Rong has a deep power and power, and the emperor can't kill him rashly

The point is to reward Lord Guo and send a signal to the civil and military officials - this is an excellent opportunity to bring down the Rong family, although impeachment. When others see that the emperor did not punish Rong Xuetao, but rewarded Lord Guo, they will inevitably think that the matter of embezzling money is true, but it is only because of the prestige of the Rong family that it is not suitable to punish him, so they compensate Lord Guo to appease."

Then, the emperor only needs to sit on the high platform and wait for the impeachment of the Rong family to fly like snowflakes.

And General Rong, who has been praised for many years, will only feel that the emperor favors him very much, so he will not be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry and do things like rebellion. After all, even the other courtiers felt that the emperor suppressed the fold to protect the Rong family.

The minister of the humerus and the appendage are only in the heart of a thought.

The queen listened quietly for a long time and smiled: "The emperor didn't favor you in vain, you really understand him."

Jiang Xian was noncommittal.

Of course, she knows a lot about the emperor, but more importantly, she condescendingly examines the past from a modern person who has studied history, and comes to the conclusion that what she has learned in modern times is the dragon slaying technique that the ancients wanted to hide: "Thanks to my father's useless gifts, the emperor can trust me with confidence." What Niangniang is worried about will not happen, the emperor has his own decision, and it is not my turn to put his beak in it."

"It's good that you think so,"

The queen bowed: "Looking at the entire Rong family, the safest is the concubine, if others talk too much, it will harm her."

The concubine has no children, which is a key reason for her safety.

If Jiang Xian jumped up at this time to protect the Rong family, she would be reminding the emperor -

The Rong family has no dragon heir in their hands, but Jiang Xian gave birth to his most outstanding and valued prince, when did they go from the personal relationship of the two concubines to the two families holding the united party, and the relationship is so close?

The undercurrent of the previous dynasty was surging, and the emperor did not set foot in the harem for half a month.

It is said that these days, there are so many excerpts to impeach the Rong family that it takes two powerful eunuchs to move.

This winter is the coldest in a decade.

The war in Beichuan did not improve because of the reinforcements of the imperial court, General Rong did not ask for men and horses, only asked for food and grass, and at the same time expressed his difficulties on the front line, and the rear should not be in turmoil to chill the hearts of the heroes and generals, and criticized the ministers who took the lead in opposing Rong by name, as if waiting for him to come back to liquidate it, and it was best for the emperor to understand something and deal with them before he came back.

The emperor laughed angrily on the spot.

He didn't say anything else, and sat on the dragon chair for a while, and found that there was no one available.

Regardless of whether the reason for the stalemate in the war in Beichuan is that General Rong did it deliberately, or whether it is really so difficult to fight, it is a hot potato, and most of the generals support General Rong, the emperor named two people, and they knelt down to admonish the emperor after they were out of the queue to change generals It is a taboo for soldiers to change generals, and they almost made the emperor angry again.

At this time, the emperor could only look at the military department twice.

Because General Rong didn't ask for ordinary soldiers this time, but asked the emperor for more gunpowder, he was supported by his colleagues so that he would not fall.

Looking at the hundreds of officials, there is no one available.

Letting the generals sent by General Rong go is no different from not sending people over.

Just as the emperor's eyes were getting colder, a young man standing very far back came out with his fists clenched and said loudly, "I am willing to give it a try."

It took two seconds for the emperor to remember who he was.

This person is Jiang Yi, the cousin of Concubine Shu.

At the beginning, Jiang Xian wanted to find a vacancy for him in the army, but the emperor changed his mind and let him serve as Lan Ling's guard. The emperor has long seen that he is a talent, so he will be promoted - of course, there is also the meaning of supporting Jiang Xian's relatives, after all, Concubine Ai's family is too cold, and he can't see it.

But in the final analysis, it was because Jiang Yi showed his talent.

Like Jiang Xian's father, he is still repairing books every day in the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, the emperor approved his invitation to fight, and remembering his low qualifications, he ordered another important minister who did not stand in line to go with him to increase his weight.

After the next dynasty, the emperor sent Jiang Yi to Qiankun Palace for a secret talk, but no one knew the content.

follow

Later, the emperor gave him a grace -

Before leaving for Beichuan, he can meet his cousin Shufei.

Jiang Yi didn't dare: "The minister has not made an inch of merit for the emperor, how dare he accept the reward with shame? I only hope that when I return from the great victory, I can ask the emperor to reward him with a glass of full moon wine from His Royal Highness the Four Princes."

His humble attitude just hit the emperor's pain point at the moment.

The military generals who can be used are all members of the Rong family, or supported by General Rong, who act domineeringly, and talk about their merits at every turn.

Jiang Yi's cautious and polite style is very much in line with his heart.

Yes, if you don't make an inch, how can you deserve to be rewarded?

The emperor can reward his subordinates because he is happy, but he does not dare to accept it, so he shows his good character of knowing and measured.

"It's fine." The emperor was pleased.

The emperor's heart is like an abyss.

Jiang Yi thought about it not so complicated - his trip to Beichuan, in addition to the expedition, but also to investigate the reason for the stalemate of the war, the emperor's suspicion of the Rong family is a small mountain, he is equivalent to checking on other people's families, his cousin and Rong Guifei have a good relationship, he still does not avoid suspicion!

Jiang Yi left, but he didn't take away the dark clouds that pressed on the palace.

Jiang Xian, who lives in the harem, has adopted an attitude of not listening to this matter, and in addition to concentrating on prenatal education for the child in her womb, she also has to grasp Zhao'er's education, so that he knows that even if he has younger brothers and sisters, his mother's love for him has not decreased by half a point.
