The fourth girl of the farmer

Chapter 399
"Sounds good, what's your crime?" Looking coldly at the dark crowd, the emperor sighed in his heart. Among this group of courtiers, how many are loyal to him, and how many are divided into cliques.That's it, let's see what they say: "Get up!"

"My Majesty, there are rumors that the grain and grass in the frontier fortress were not kept properly. Now that the price of grain among the people is soaring and there is no grain to buy, I ask your majesty to order a thorough investigation and severely punish those who spread rumors and cause trouble!" Report, rumors are not terrible, what is afraid is that three people will become tigers!
"Here we come!" The spectators secretly clapped their hands in their hearts. Isn't this Lord's calm face today because of this, right minister, right minister, it's hard for you to be loyal to the king, this fire is on the cannon barrel , Be careful to burn yourself!
"This matter is not a rumor. The supply of grain and grass in the frontier fortress is less than one month, and I just received an urgent secret report. Unexpectedly, my people in the Western Song Dynasty are better informed than I. It is said that the news on the street has been circulating for more than half a month!" Suppressing his own emotions Angry, he looked at the courtier who was counting the threads of the carpet with his head down.

"King An went to conquer on behalf of the son of heaven, and the father and son of the Lin family are generals. When this happened, they should be held accountable!" Someone boldly stood up and spoke sternly. The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Such mistakes must be made, and these people cannot be let go easily. Pass.

The censor is the most selfless, upright and upright, the emperor looked at the person who stood up, smiled wryly, and pursued the responsibility, it was just that the incident developed as expected.

"According to what I have seen, both accountability and food collection are important!" Zuo Xiang stepped out slowly: "Winter is coming soon, Lin Shuai has written a letter to prepare for a big battle. However, the food and grass were damaged, and the opportunity for the big battle was missed. What's more, the frontier soldiers Survival is a problem." Some things should not be rushed!
"What Prime Minister Zuo said is true, since the great opportunity for the great war has been lost, I suggest that we withdraw millions of soldiers, and let King An sit in frontier fortress, and wait for the opportunity!" Ten years or eight years, otherwise, how can I be worthy of the title you have personally enlisted on behalf of the Son of Heaven. "Withdrawing millions of soldiers can alleviate the urgent need for food and grass!"

"this is okay?"

"That's a good idea!"

"But when is the next opportunity?"

"That's fine, King An and Lin Shuai and his son have made a contribution to the crime."

"Millions of soldiers will return, and the frontiers will only defend and not attack. After the autumn harvest in three or five years, there will be sufficient food and grass, and the treasury will be full before fighting again."

Hearing the courtiers' discussion, Cheng En glanced at the emperor who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and took a step forward. When he was about to announce "withdrawing from the court", the emperor waved his hand suddenly, and he quickly took a step back. Surprising!
"King An and Shuai Lin's letter of pleading guilty will not be released. Think about how we can raise food and grass again. Is King Ning here?" The emperor called out by name.

"Father, my son is here!" Ning Wang stood up blankly. It was his job to raise food. It had been sent to the border earlier, and it was received by An Wang himself. Now there is a problem, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Last time you made great contributions to raising food, look, this food..." The emperor looked at the son, his eyes full of hope.

"Father, forgive me for my incompetence!" King Ning knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Before raising food, all the grain farms in Luocheng and the surrounding cities have already been sold out. Moreover, the treasury has no food, and the mansion of the minister is already an empty shell. , the price of food is so high, it’s really a good woman’s food without rice!” With a bitter look on his face, he understood in his heart, what a joke, it took a lot of effort to get to this move, the purpose is not to let yourself be dragged down again into the water.

"That's all, you get up first." The emperor looked at the son with a sad face, and his doubts in his heart were two points less.Looking at the courtiers who didn't dare to say anything, he waved his hands: "Everyone, step down!"

"Retire!" One morning, I was worried about this matter, and there was no result yet!

Cheng En shook his head in his heart, the majestic Ninety-Five year old was troubled by the little food and grass, this thing is rare!

"Cheng En, how is Feng Yun's investigation?" In the imperial study room, the emperor's expression finally became normal. When encountering such a thing, it's no wonder he wasn't angry.

"Back to the emperor, Fengyun checked the places where King Ning raised grain, and the grain was indeed of the highest quality, and there was no accident during the delivery!" Cheng En hurriedly reported.

"In this way, the possibility of his tampering is zero?" If it wasn't the tampering of King Ning, then it was really because the frontier fortress didn't keep it properly?However, those grain bags sprouted and rotted from the inside out, and the timing was calculated just right!

"What makes people feel weird is that the people who packed the food all over the place died of illness or fell to death at least a month ago!" If it weren't for King Ning, he could have twisted his head off and kicked it like a ball!Cheng En felt a little sympathetic to the emperor, could such news be put on the table?Brothers and sisters are killing each other, so there is no need to fight each other. Besides, millions of soldiers will die at the frontier, and the safety of the country will be in danger.

"It's a bit bizarre!" There are thousands of ways to die, and the timing is too coincidental!As expected! "Chengen, how is King An doing in the frontier fortress?"

My master too, don't really let him guard the gate!
It's hard to find it, and it's rare to see your smiling face. It's really guarded. In the future, when he returns to the court, he still has a place to stand!
"Back to the emperor, Feng Qi said that King An always said that he was not enough, he obeyed Lin Shuai's orders in everything, learned humbly, treated soldiers like brothers, and the border soldiers loved him very much!" Cheng En really didn't know how to answer, so he had to avoid the important ones.

"Shuai Lin! The Lin family!" He muttered to himself.Some things cannot be explained with emotion.Some people, missed, really hard to find.A dignified loyal and patriotic family, if one day is demoted, it will be difficult to return for several generations!At this time, I regretted it a little. If Xuan'er had a strong and powerful family, there would be no need for me to spend so much effort.

"Go down, there is the latest news, come and tell me whenever you want." Waving his hand, he wants to be alone, but the world is full of noise, and the only place he misses is a place where he feels guilty and doesn't want to go : "Lin Zhaoyi's place is still the same, she is not allowed to leave the palace, and no outsiders are allowed to disturb her cleansing!"

"Yes, the servant will leave!" Cheng En bowed and retreated, feeling slightly comforted in his heart, at least, the empress was not involved.

"Sell Zhuangzi, another courtyard, and the farm?" The Lin family, Sun Hao, Mr. Xia, and Lin Butler, the result of the three people's discussions was this.

"Yes, sell these things quickly, and then let people go around to buy grain at high prices. No matter how much it is, one grain counts as one grain. After about ten days, the grain will be transported to the frontier with great fanfare." Feng Qi has transported most of the grain away , on my side, what I have to do is to cover up.More importantly, let the high-ranking person see the sincerity of the Lin family, let him know that the Lin family is not rich, and even sold the Zhuangzi Bieyuan that was reused and returned to raise food, so that the enemy can relax their vigilance.Sun Hao is in charge.

"Yes, I will do as Master Sun says!" Butler Lin nodded quickly in response.Before the master went out to fight, he personally ordered that when he saw Sun Hao, he meant what the master meant.Over the years, the rich and the poor have come and gone, and they also know that sworn brothers like Master Sun are the strong backing for the Lin family to survive until now!
