After breaking off the engagement, the daughter-in-law of the Hou family drove the boss in the capit

The criminal returning from the north was beyond everyone's expectations, but made everyone look solemn.

The three kingdoms of Beigui, Dongshan and Xishu coexisted. Dongshan had been in charge of Wen in recent years and liked luxury. Although Xi Shu is a strong military force, it has suffered serious losses in the struggle for power over the years. Bei Gui, on the other hand, has always been good at riding and shooting, and decades ago, Bei Gui invaded Dongshan and Xi Shu.

It was just that Dongshan and Xishu had strong military forces at that time. Although they suffered heavy losses, they at least drove Beigui out of the country.

Over the years, there has been no movement in Beigui. It used to be dormant, but now it is coming in a menacing and sudden attack. It can be described as a wolf's ambition.

If it weren't for Chen Jingchi's tight defense and the soldiers not letting up, I'm afraid they would have been at a disadvantage in this battle.

But although under the leadership of Chen Jingchi, the soldiers in the border area were ready to go, they were not timid in the face of the invasion from the north.

However, grain was already scarce in the border areas. Now that the war was intensifying, grain and grass had to go first. Now that grain and grass were insufficient, even Chen Jingchi was unsure, so he made several concessions in the hope that the court could transport grain and grass there as soon as possible.

Shen Weixun summoned the ministers. Although the ministers were usually cunning and deceitful, they also knew the seriousness of the matter. If Beigui was allowed to break through the defense line, the entire Dongshan Mountain would be in danger.

Compared with the usual interests, resisting foreign enemies is the more important thing now, so all the ministers obey the prince's orders.

Military generals ordered troops and rushed to the battlefield to support Chen Jingchi, while civil servants guarded the rear and stabilized the people's hearts.

As for mobilizing grain and grass, now that Emperor Dongshan is still alive, Shen Weixun needs to ask for instructions from Emperor Dongshan, and he needs to get the imperial edict from Emperor Dongshan. Otherwise, even Da Sinong would not dare to mobilize grain and grass without permission, which would be a mess.

The matter was imminent, and Shen Weixun did not dare to delay at all. He went directly to Emperor Dongshan's chamber, knelt in front of Emperor Dongshan's dragon bed, and reported the war.

Emperor Dongshan was silent for a moment after hearing this. Shen Weixun's palms were stained with sweat. He held his breath, waiting for Emperor Dongshan's words.

"The war is serious, let Da Sinong allocate 20% of the grain and grass to be transported to the battlefield first!" Emperor Dongshan said, and he was about to let Eunuch Zhuo draft an edict.

Shen Weixun only felt that it was obviously summer, but his whole body felt like he had fallen into a cold cellar.

"Your Majesty, the war is now tense. The soldiers are already a little hungry. 20% of the food and grass is not enough. Your Majesty, please allocate a few more percent!" Shen Weixun knelt in front of the bed and begged.

Since becoming the Prince of the East Palace, Shen Weixun has also known what the state of the treasury is now. Food and grass are in short supply. If 20% of the food and grass is sent over, the soldiers may not be able to survive for two days. Even if all is transferred, they can barely survive half of it. Month, this is not enough.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Emperor Dongshan only allocated 20%. Shen Weixun felt that it was extremely ridiculous. He was joking with the lives of the soldiers.

"Wei Xun! General Chen has great power. If he allocates enough food and grass at once, do you know what the consequences will be? If General Chen respects his troops and even rebels, Qingyang will not have any counterattack! He can only hold the lifeblood of the soldiers. , so that they can be obedient!" Emperor Dongshan ordered, teaching Shen Weixun how to be a king.

But Shen Weixun couldn't listen to a word. Now the enemies are coming, but His Majesty is still thinking about the art of balancing, which is ridiculous.

Shen Weixun was glad that he followed Lin Jianyue's advice and strived for his current status and power. If the Dongshan Emperor was really allowed to take power, Dongshan would probably die.

"My lord, I believe that General Chen is not that kind of person. We should first repel the enemy troops returning from the north!" Shen Weixun couldn't help but say.

Emperor Dongshan was unmoved, "Even if General Chen doesn't have that intention, you can't delegate power and release food and grass. Wei Xun, as a king, you must learn to weigh! I have already made a decision on this matter, don't say any more!" "The Emperor Dongshan seemed a little displeased and waved his hand for Shen Weixun to step back. Shen Weixun looked at Dongshan Emperor and understood that it was meaningless to say any more, but the murderous intent in his eyes was so strong when he turned around.

As soon as Shen Weixun walked out of the palace, Emperor Dongshan's decree was issued.

When the courtiers learned that His Majesty had only allocated 20% of the food and grass, the generals were filled with indignation and the civil servants shook their heads, but under the imperial power, they had no choice but to obey.

As soon as Shen Weixun returned to the East Palace, he secretly sent a message to Li Fei, asking Li Fei to hurry up and make sure that Emperor Dongshan could no longer live.

And Shen Weixun also asked his personal guards to exchange the silver in his hands for grain and grass. Shen Weixun knew very well that even if he allocated all the grain and grass, it would not be enough, and he had to do something else.

Shen Weixun was busy giving orders one by one. At this time, Yu Niang came to report, and Lin Jianyue came.

Shen Weixun quickly invited people into the study. You must know that even the future crown princess cannot enter the east palace study. However, Shen Weixun trusted Lin Jianyue and knew that Lin Jianyue's vision was no less generous than that of men, so he did not I didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Jianyue entering the study.

Lin Jianyue hurried into the study without any greetings, and asked directly, "Your Majesty only allocated 20% of the food and grass. Is it true?"

Shen Weixun sighed, held Lin Jianyue's shoulders, and asked Lin Jianyue to sit next to him.

"Indeed, His Majesty is afraid that General Chen will be proud of his troops, and wants to use this to control and threaten the soldiers!" Shen Weixun explained.

"Is he sick? Now that the enemy has come, does your Majesty still have the power to think about it?" Lin Jianyue couldn't help cursing angrily.

"You also know His Majesty's temperament. It's not surprising that he can do such a thing! It's not enough. His Majesty will leave soon!" Shen Weixun comforted.

At this time, everything is in progress. Perhaps in a few days, Emperor Dongshan will die of illness, and then he will be able to control everything.

"Your Majesty really shouldn't stay! However, the soldiers on the border are now in urgent need of food and grass. Will the imperial court have enough?" Lin Jianyue asked.

She actually didn't know anything about the food and fodder in the court, but since Emperor Dongshan had been squandering it extravagantly for so many years, the treasury must have reached its bottom long ago.

"I really can't hide anything from you, Yueyue. I asked Da Sinong, even if I give out all the food and grass, it may not be enough for emergency response! But don't worry, I will solve it!" Shen Weixun He opened his mouth and brought a glass of warm water to Lin Mianyue himself.

Lin Jianyue took the warm water and looked at Shen Weixun. She did not doubt Shen Weixun's ability, but she also knew that even if Shen Weixun had a lot of private property and money, it would be too difficult to fill the vacancy of food and grass.

"Leave the matter of food and grass to me!" Lin Jianyue's voice was very normal, as if she was just talking about a small matter, but in fact, if Lin Jianyue wanted to make up for the lack of food and grass, even if Lin Jianyue's family wealth was rich, he would lose money. Not small.

"Yueyue, you." Shen Weixun's first reaction was shock, and then he disagreed.

"I am also a citizen of Dongshan, and I have the ability. This is what I should do! Just let me do it!" Lin Jianyue held Shen Weixun's hand and said without any doubt. (End of chapter)
