After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 73 The Anomaly of JAC

Su Yingxue asked Qu Chu: "What are you going to do to King Chu?"

"Cheat him to eat first."

Su Yingxue gave a thumbs up.

The two didn't speak clearly, but they both understood what the other was talking about.

Last time Ning Youbei ordered some blood vine grass and drunken pot spring from Qu Bingyu, and sent them to his imperial brother.If Qu Chu gave him this Chiyang fruit, he would definitely give it to his imperial brother immediately.

Su Yingxue thought to herself:

The King of Chu finally occupies a certain position in Qu Qu's heart!

But that's true, with his stubborn and clinging method, no matter how thick his armor and hard heart he is, there will always be a day when he will be broken.

That's fine, although King Chu has scheming plans, but looking at him now, he is still sincere towards Qu Qu!

Su Yingxue is not a young girl in her [-]s, nor is she an impulsive love brain. She is intelligent, calm, knowledgeable, and capable, so she can see things more clearly than ordinary people.

The way Ning Youbei looks at Qu Chu can't be concealed from anyone, the kind of eyes that stick to Qu Chu's body all the time, as long as he sees the sudden light in Qu Chu's eyes, it can't be faked by just one person. of.

Imperial Palace Study Room

Hearing that King Chu came again, the emperor felt strange, isn't he going to the General's Mansion today?Why did you come to find yourself again?

However, the emperor still put down the memorial in his hand, and King Xuanchu came in.

When Ning Youbei came in, he saw that Eunuch Rong was still in the study, so he hesitated for a while.

It's good that Eunuch Rong is the emperor's confidant, but it's not appropriate for him to hear the things to be said next.

The emperor thought that Ning Youbei wanted to talk to him about something personal, and it was not good to say it in front of Eunuch Rong, so he ordered Eunuch Rong: "Rong Dehai, go and make us a pot of good tea."

Eunuch Rong took the order.

Without waiting for the emperor to ask questions, Ning Youbei spoke first.

"Brother Huang, I went to the General's Mansion just now and heard from Master Su that the price of medicinal materials in the Jianghuai area has increased by [-]% this year, and the price of grain has increased even more. Have you received the report?"

The emperor's face sank.

The sharp rise in the prices of food and medicinal materials means that some people are hoarding them in large quantities. Under what circumstances does this usually happen?

Year of war and calamity!
This is a big deal, but I don't know it at all.

"Brother Huang, didn't you receive a lot of papers to participate in the Duke Huai's performance? See what's written on it?"

With Ning Youbei's reminder, the emperor hastily searched for the memorial.

I finally found one for him, but the contents of this book are:

The reason why the people were displaced was all because of Duke Huai's incompetence and licentiousness, and the examples cited in it were all the fault of Duke Huai.There was no mention of rising prices in the Jianghuai area.

"Yes, that's it." The emperor pointed to the memorial and said, "The content of the memorial I have read before is similar to this one."

"Brother Huang, why don't you find out all the excerpts of participating in Duke Huai first and read it again?"

"it is good".

The emperor called out to Rong Dehai loudly.

Eunuch Rong didn't go far, when he heard the emperor calling him, he hurried in.

"Rong Dehai, go and collect all the excerpts from participating in Duke Huai."

Although Eunuch Rong was surprised, he still took the order.

"Youbei, can you analyze the current state of Dayu's military equipment?"

Ning Youbei had analyzed it carefully on the way here, and now the emperor asked him to answer in an orderly manner.

"Brother Huang, the total army strength of Dayu Kingdom is 80, and there are three main forces:
30 on the north and west borders are in the hands of Achu; 10 on the southern barbarian border are in the hands of General Situ; 10 on the coastline of the East China Sea are in the hands of Sui Lijing.

The second is the 2 city defense army; 1 imperial forest army;

If a war is really to be waged, it is most likely to be the East China Sea coast army, the garrisons in the Jianghuai, Jing, Yunnan, and Nanshu regions. "

Although Ning Youbei didn't explain what he said, he pointed the finger at King Jing and King Jiangcheng.

The emperor thought for a while, "You Bei, do you think General Qu can control the frontier troops in the north and west?"

"can".

Ning Youbei answered in the affirmative.

"The soldiers in the west and the north have been using a rotation system before. They all followed Ah Chu to the battlefield. You have not seen their admiration for Ah Chu. Even if any general turns against him, as long as Ah Chu steps forward, the soldiers will They will all listen to Ah Chu."

The emperor hadn't seen it with his own eyes so he couldn't make a conclusion, but seeing Ning Youbei's answer so decisively, he still chose to believe Ning Youbei's words.

Why didn't the emperor ask General Situ if he could control the army on the southern barbarian border? Because the Situ family had commanded the army on the southern barbarian border for decades.

And General Situ is Concubine Chen's righteous brother, and it was because of him that someone supported the emperor.

The emperor is still at ease with General Situ.

The emperor circled around again.

After turning around more than ten times in a row, the emperor stopped. "Do you think King Jing and King Jiangcheng have teamed up?"

It was difficult for Ning Youbei to answer this question.

At this time, Eunuch Rong came in with more than a dozen memorials.

The emperor motioned him to put it on the desk.

After putting it away, the emperor took a book and read it, and handed it to Ning Youbei after reading it.

Sure enough, these dozen or so memorials all talked about the faults of Duke Huai, and none of them mentioned the matter of rising prices.

The emperor pointed to a memorial and said to Ning Youbei: "Look, this person is the city lord of Huaicheng, or I selected him personally, but how is he treating me now?"

The two brothers discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with any good countermeasures, so Ning Youbei asked tentatively: "Why don't you call Ah Chu over, she has fought many battles, and she is always better than us in military affairs. Be proficient."

"Yes." The emperor patted his forehead, "Look, I'm so confused. There is such a good candidate here, why are we still talking nonsense here?"

Nervous and angry, the emperor even brought out his usual spoken language.

He blamed Ning Youbei again: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ning Youbei muttered: "Aren't I afraid that you won't trust Ah Chu?"

"You Bei, your thinking is wrong," the emperor said solemnly: "Since General Qu has become your concubine, she is one of your own. Of course I believe her."

……

Before receiving the news that the emperor let her into the palace, Qu Chuzheng talked to Su Yingxue about Lumei.

After Lumei thought for a while, she finally decided to go back to the Su Mansion.

The Su Manor will hold a family recognition banquet for Lumei in seven days, and Su Yingxue will return to Mantuo Villa after attending the relative recognition banquet.

"Originally I planned to let Yanhong follow you, since you are going to Jianghuai, let her go with you.

She has good hearing and is proficient at disguises and poisons, so having her by your side always helps. "

Qu Chu thought for a while:
"Okay, let Yanhong wait for us on the road, we will join the Jianghuai after we leave the big team."

After saying these things, Qu Chu received the emperor's call.

She gave Qu Bingyu a few more words, and followed the servants into the palace.
