At the three-day morning court meeting, the emperor looked at Wen Xiuyi in disbelief and asked, "Wen Changbo, are you serious?" ”

Wen Xiuyi knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is serious, in such a bitter and cold place as the north, the harvest of grain has always been the biggest problem, the minister admits that the minister is worried about his son, but the minister also wants to take this opportunity to go to the north to see if there is any way to solve the dilemma of grain in the north." ”

The silence above the court was terrifying.

The emperor looked at Wen Xiuyi, and then at his stupid brother, only to see that his admiration for Wen Xiuyi was almost impossible to hide.

After a while, the Emperor spoke, "Thank you, for the people of the North. ”

The emperor said that it was false not to be moved, after so many years, he knew how bitter the environment in the north was, and the people there barely had enough food and clothing, not to mention how good they could live.

But it is such a place, but it is a place that the imperial court cannot give up, and it is the gate of the country.

In the north, a pound of grain can be sold for a sky-high price, and although the imperial court has been controlling the price of grain, there are still many people who go hungry every year.

If Wen Xiuyi can really solve the food dilemma in the north, it will be a great good thing for Annan, for the people, and for him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister asks for his life, accompany Wen Changbo to the north, and ask Your Majesty for permission." Marquis Yongchang walked out from among several idle marquises and knelt on the top of the main hall, with a tall figure and a solemn expression.

His Xia family has been guarding the north for many years, no one knows better than him how bitter the people in the north are, Wen Changbo took the initiative to mention in the court today that he wanted to go to the north to see if he could improve the food plight of the people in the north.

Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, the Marquis of Yongchang will remember Wen Changbo's affection.

So even if he hadn't set foot in the north for so many years, Yongchanghou still decided to take this trip in person, send Wen Changbo to the north, and by the way, see his son and grandchildren again.

The appearance of the Marquis of Yongchang moved the generals, and several generals stood up and expressed their willingness to escort Wen Changbo to the north.

The emperor looked at them, and for some reason, his eyes were a little sour.

He waved his hand and looked at Marquis Yongchang: "Marquis Yongchang, you are old, and the matter of escorting Wen Changbo to the north will definitely be arranged, so don't go." ”

If it weren't for his old age, and because of his hidden illness on the battlefield, the Marquis of Yongchang would not have retired from the battlefield so early and returned to Beijing to be an idle marquis.

The emperor was grateful for the loyalty of the Xia family, and naturally treated the Marquis of Yongchang well.

It's just that the Marquis of Yongchang is old, and he is going to the north for a long journey, so I am afraid that his body will not be able to stand it.

Who knew that the Marquis of Yongchang insisted: "Your Majesty, the old minister is fine, I implore Your Majesty to allow the old minister to go with him." After saying that, he slammed his head on the main hall.

There was a thud that made people tremble.

Wen Xiuyi lowered his head, quietly pulled his sleeve, and whispered, "Old man Xia, what are you doing here?" Come with me at your age, if something happens along the way, I'm afraid that your general's son will cut me with a knife. ”

Yongchang Hou also lowered his head and whispered, "He dares." ”

Wen Xiuyi secretly glanced at the emperor above, and then whispered: "Really, don't follow me when you're old." ”

During this period of getting along, Wen Xiuyi became familiar with them, so he naturally didn't have to speak so politely.

Yongchang Hou shook his hand, pulled his claws away, and whispered: "Don't look at me so much older than you, but my body is tougher than you, I will accompany you when I say I will go with you, why are there so many words." ”

The two of them were muttering above the main hall, not to mention the emperor, even the officials next to them found out.

Only the two thought they were hiding their disguise well.

King Fu gave the two of them a look, but they couldn't see it.

The emperor had no choice but to cover his mouth and cough, and the two of them lowered their heads again and were honest.

"In that case, then I allowed the Marquis of Yongchang to go with Wen Changbo, where is the commander of the forbidden army?" The Emperor looked at the crowd.

Commander Liu Ying, who was in charge of the forbidden army, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”

The emperor looked at the two kneeling people, and then said slowly: "You dispatch five hundred forbidden troops to escort the Marquis of Yongchang and Uncle Wenchang to the north." ”

"Obey." Commander Liu immediately received the order.

The emperor looked at the two of them again and asked, "What do the two Aiqing want to go to the north?" ”

This is almost a matter of asking them if they want any privileges.

King Fu hurriedly gave Wen Xiuyi a look, but Wen Xiuyi didn't understand.

He looked at the Marquis of Yongchang next to him and asked in a low voice, "Can you still ask for this?" ”

Yongchanghou: "......" is a newcomer who has never been in the capital.

He whispered, "Your Majesty is giving you the opportunity to make a request. Then he leaned in and whispered, "Say some privileges or something." ”

Wen Xiuyi thought about it, he is a farmer, even if he goes, he is just farming, it seems that he can't use any privileges, right?

"No, no, right?" Wen Xiuyi looked at the emperor, thought for a while, and said, "Can the minister bring his family?" ”

The emperor was stunned, family members? As far as he knows, Wen Changbo is single and has no family.

No, there's a girl.

The emperor looked at King Fu for a moment, and his eyes seemed to say: What's the matter? Your future daughter-in-law is also going? You don't stop it? That's the North.

King Fu pouted, not to mention that his future daughter-in-law was going to go, and his son would also follow.

Really, woo woo, he wants to go too.

Yaoyao is gone, there is nothing to eat.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Wen Xiuyi continued: "The minister's daughter has never left the minister's side since she was a child, and she is also worried about her brother, so she wants to go with the minister, Your Majesty, can you take it?" ”

He didn't understand, so he just asked directly, lest he commit any taboos.

The ministers in the hall were speechless, it was the first time they had met such a stunned person, if you wanted your daughter to go, no one would say anything if you secretly took it away, and asked Your Majesty directly, whether it is a dumpling from the countryside and has never seen the world.

The emperor hesitated, the girl left, what should he do with his steel? He hadn't figured out what to do with the steel.

But looking at Wen Xiuyi's sincere eyes, the emperor couldn't say anything about his refusal, mainly because the girl belonged to someone else, and if she wanted to take her to the north, he couldn't care about it even if he was the emperor.

Say that female dependents are not allowed to go to the battlefield? The girl of the Xia family can go into battle to kill the enemy with a spear, and the female dependents are not allowed to go to the battlefield, which is a fart.

"You don't have anything else to ask for?" The emperor is also in a hurry, why doesn't this person know how to seize the opportunity.

Wen Xiuyi thought about it and shook his head: "It's gone." ”

Emperor: "......"

Forget it, he's a newcomer, the first time he has been an official, forgive him.

"In that case, then I will give you a holy decree, after arriving in the north, all matters related to growing grain in the north, the local officials must cooperate with the local authorities, and those who violate it will be a protest order, as for your daughter, you can take it with you if you want." After speaking, the emperor looked at the Marquis of Yongchang and said, "I remember that Lan Xin's girl is also in the north, let her take care of Wen Changbo's daughter more when the time comes." ”

Marquis Yongchang: "The minister obeys the order." ”
