There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 235 I Want To Die With Him
After August, the weather gradually cooled down. Because of sadness and restlessness, Tang Wanning stayed in bed for more than ten days without getting better. She couldn't eat or drink medicine. She lost a lot of weight.

Seeing that her face was sallow and her hands and feet were cold, Xia Houjue asked someone to put a charcoal basin beside her in the morning and evening. The earth dragon charcoal fire was burned, the room was warm, and Tang Wanning's illness could be cured faster.

Xia Houjue still guarded her every day, reviewing papers day and night. Since he was sitting in the rear, he could only settle the people and raise food for the army.

After a while of deliberation, Xia Houjue sold all the privately owned farms of the royal family for a total of 200 million taels of silver. He asked the officials of the Ministry of Households to use the money to find rich households with grain reserves all over the country and take back grain from them at a high price.

In this way, the second batch of military rations to be transported to the front line was raised. The 200 million taels was enough for the soldiers of the three armies to eat for a month, so it was worth it.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine!" Xia Houjue handed a good report to Tang Wanning with a light smile.

Tang Waning took it over and took a rough look, her eyes were filled with joy.

"It's my third brother. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that it was my third brother who won the first battle and won the first prize!"

In her impression, the third brother has always liked to delve into strange things, and likes to run outside. She has never heard that the third brother has any special interest in the art of war.

"What the hell is going on here?"

When the good news came, Tang Wanning's illness was mostly cured, and her dull eyes were now shining brightly.

"Your third brother got a kind of chariot from somewhere, which can shoot long spears and short arrows. The attack distance has been extended from fifty paces to one hundred paces, effectively improving combat efficiency!"

That is to say, it used to be hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, but now the enemy can't see me, so I can kill the enemy here. This is simply a magic weapon among weapons.

"There is such a thing?" Tang Wanning was dumbfounded.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still using cold weapons, she would have doubted whether her third brother had also crossed over. His ideas are too advanced. Returning the chariot, isn't this just a crude version of the tank.

Tut tut tut!Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated at any time.

Xia Houjue held the blueprint of this weapon in his hand, and while looking at it, he called it exquisite. At the end, he directly gave an order to the Ministry of War, ordering them to immediately prepare to manufacture such a weapon and transport it to the front line as quickly as possible.

After all this was done, Xia Houjue stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his back relaxed for the first time.

It is very good to win the first battle, as the ancients said: When the sky will send a great mission to the people, they must first suffer from their will, exhaust their body and skin, and empty their bodies.

This is true for people, and it is also true for a country.

But if the Great Xia Dynasty survives this time, he will let those barbarian tribes take a good look at whether the surname in this world is Man or Xia.

Thinking about it, Xia Houjue clenched his fists, his arms hidden in his sleeves were bulging with veins, but his face looked calm and planning.

……

Tang Wanning's illness finally recovered. On the day she recovered, Xia Houjue withdrew from Fengyang Palace and moved all his belongings to the Imperial Study Room. He summoned ministers to discuss state affairs day and night and prepared to raise the third batch of military rations. .

Tang Wanning thought about it, and asked Biyue Biluo to open the warehouse, and received all her dowry, rewards, and receipts from Zhuangzi's shop in a brocade box, and sent them all to the Royal Study Room.

"Your Majesty! This is not a small sum!" Bi Yue felt distressed.

"So what? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Since I am a queen, I should naturally be a good example of motherhood. Go!"

"Yes!" Bi Yue walked away hesitantly, and turned back before going out, "Master, what if the emperor refuses?"

"Then tell him, if the emperor still recognizes me as a queen, please accept him!"

"Yes!"

Bi Yue carried the brocade box and left.

In the imperial study room, Xia Houjue looked at the box in Biyue's arms, listened to her explain why she came, and then waved her away.

The heavy brocade box was placed alone on the imperial case. It looked neither big nor small, and the box was not luxurious enough, and even a little old. Such a box should have been left to her by her mother, Mrs. Tang.

This is her dowry, this is their mother and daughter's inheritance, can he do it?Can't, and it's impossible.

He Xia Houjue can't ask for the queen's dowry even if he sells all the iron, which is a shame among the people, let alone an emperor.

It's just that he didn't let anyone put the brocade box back after all, but put it away carefully without letting anyone know.

……

The front line is still fighting, and the imperial study is still discussing state affairs day and night, and Tang Wanning can't help much.

The only thing she can do is to take good care of the three-acre land in the harem, and don't make any trouble, don't make trouble at this time.

With nothing else to do, she didn't even bother to read her notebook, she just flipped through military books every day, from morning to night.

This day, she got up early in the morning, washed up and had breakfast, and then started to read military books again.

Not long after, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and Bi Yue hurried in.

"Your Majesty, it's Princess Ansaiya from the Tubo Department asking to see you!"

"Princess Ansaiya? Is that the girl who wanted to marry the emperor but failed to get along, but developed a crush on Prince Jing?"

"Exactly!"

What is she here for?Tang Wanning thought for a while, and let her in anyway.

Ansaiya came in crying, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed when she entered the door: "Empress Empress, please save me, save me!"

"What's wrong?" Tang Wanning was surprised, and quickly asked someone to help her up and sit down.

Ansaiya didn't pay attention to whether there was anyone beside her, sobbing and saying: "Xia Houjing has locked me in the post house for a long time, he doesn't let me go out, doesn't let me know what's going on outside, but I know he's going to war, queen Empress, can you save me, let me out, I want to find him!"

Tang Wanning couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What do you want him for? He is the King of Pingbei now, is he fighting on the front line?"

"You don't know anything. If you go, it will cause trouble. Isn't it good to live in the capital?"

"If you don't like the post house, you can move into the palace!"

She takes Xia Houjing as her younger brother. Although they are the same age, the order is in this order.

Seeing that the woman my brother loves has been wronged, she, the sister-in-law, naturally wants to help, doesn't she?

"But..." Ansaiah blushed anxiously.

"But I want to find him. I know everything, I know martial arts, I can ride a horse, and I know a little bit about the art of war. This is all taught by my father. My father said that I am very powerful. I will never give it to him. Shame on you, empress, please let me go!" Ansaiah was about to cry.

Tang Wanning was a little speechless: "But... this is not in compliance with the rules. How can there be women in the army?"

The most important thing is that the northwest side is too dangerous, even she can't go now, let alone a little girl.
