If Fenglai didn't let Su Fengnuan dispatch troops from all over the world to deal with the King of Xiangjun, then Su Fengnuan would push the problem in front of her to her.
The king of Xiangjun has been in Dongjing for several years, and Dongjing already has 200,000 soldiers and horses. If he recruits soldiers privately, then after many years, at least 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers and horses.
What is the concept of raising 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers and horses? If the soldiers are elite and the generals are strong, once there is a rebellion, it will not be a small battle if the flames of war are everywhere.
At the beginning, when Taizu entrusted the world with grace, he gave Yanbei, Jiangnan, and Dongjing three places a 200,000 soldiers and horses, but the king of Yanbei said that Yanbei was poor and could not support so many soldiers, so he refused Taizu. To raise 50,000 government soldiers, Taizu agreed. The Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River refused to be granted the title of king, and refused to accept the military talisman. Therefore, the Taizu gave the right to dispatch soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and withdrew the jurisdiction. Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses were stationed in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. When the situation arises, the head of the Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River can issue a government order. Dongjing also wanted to decline, but Taizu stopped him. At that time, the king of Dongjing was Taizu's younger brother, so he could not refuse, so he obeyed.
However, the western border is adjacent to the border of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the access to the Northern Zhou Dynasty is not as narrow as Yanbei, but a flat river. Therefore, the western border has millions of soldiers and horses, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven.
However, Taizu also had an Iron Coupon Talisman, which can be used to mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the world.
Today, Su Fengnuan not only has the iron coupon talisman of Taizu, but also the soldier talisman given by the emperor. If Fenglai doesn't let her use it, then it will be a big problem to deal with the King of Xiangjun.
After all, in addition to using soldiers to control soldiers, if you want to mobilize the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the eastern border, you still need a comprehensive strategy.
Su Fengnuan was too lazy to think about it.
Feng Lai looked at Su Fengnuan upon hearing this, and said to her, "I'll kill the King of Xiangjun, it's easy."
Su Fengnuan twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, and looked at Fenglai, "Old Ancestor, you don't think killing the King of Xiangjun is as easy as kidnapping and arresting me?"
Feng Lai looked at her, "What's the problem?"
Su Fengnuan said, "Nowadays, due to disasters in all directions in the Southern Qi Dynasty, the national treasury is empty, and the whole world knows that the eldest prince is angry because the King of Xiangjun did not pay the food and grass, so he sent Liu Yan to the east to investigate the king of Xiangjun and get back the food and grass. They are all focused on the Eastern Region. Since the King of Xiangjun is now preparing troops, he is planning to rebel, and he must have already lived in the military camp. He was able to kill the king of Xiangjun among hundreds of thousands of troops."
Feng Lai frowned, "Then what should I do?"
Su Fengnuan shrugged, "I don't know either."
Feng Lai said angrily, "Is there anything you can do?"
Su Fengnuan looked at her helplessly, "Ancestor, there is a saying that a clever woman can't cook without rice, have you heard it? I have no martial arts now, and you don't allow me to transfer troops. I am just a weak woman. What can be done?"
Feng Lai was speechless.
Su Fengnuan said to her, "Let's go, eat first, you're hungry, think about it slowly after eating."
Feng Lai stood up, glanced at Ye Rui and Liu Yan behind Su Fengnuan, and left the room.
Su Fengnuan turned around and saw Ye Rui's expression as usual, but Liu Yan seemed to be in some kind of surprise. Seeing her turn around, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sister Su, you just said that the emperor passed the throne to Brother Ye?"
Su Fengnuan smiled and nodded, "There is such a will."
Liu Yan asked in surprise, "When? The emperor has been missing for a long time."
Su Fengnuan said to him, "When we left Beijing."
Liu Yan heard the words, "So early, after you left Beijing, the emperor let the eldest prince supervise the country. We all thought that the emperor chose the eldest prince as his successor. It turns out that the emperor has already had a will..."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
After Liu Yan was surprised, he showed joy, "It would be great if Brother Ye inherits the throne. Even if I go back to Beijing, I don't have to listen to the Queen Mother."
Su Fengnuan laughed, "You can still learn a lot from the Empress Dowager."
Liu Yan nodded, "That's right, but the queen mother is too strict." After speaking, he waved his hand and said happily, "In short, I won't be able to return to Beijing for a while, let's not talk, let's go go for meal."
A group of people went to the auditorium downstairs.
Su Fengnuan had a good appetite and ate a lot, but Feng Lairu still ate very little like every time.
After dinner, Su Fengnuan yawned and went back to his room to sleep.
Feng Lai also went back to his room to meditate and practice.
Liu Yan and Ye Rui got acquainted, and he pulled Ye Rui to talk, and he would not dare to ask Su Fengnuan, so he asked Ye Rui in private, asking why he was arrested by Feng Lai.
Ye Rui briefly told him about saving Su Fengnuan, and told him about his arrest.
It's not that Liu Yan doesn't understand anything. Hearing this, he immediately showed gossiping eyes, looked at Ye Rui and said, "Fourth brother, you like sister Su too? Otherwise, you wouldn't want to save her even if you were not afraid of dying."
Ye Rui smiled, "It's been a long-cherished wish to see her for many years, it's too simple to like it or not."
Liu Yan looked at him, half understanding the words, "You knew Sister Su before?"
Ye Chang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know."
Liu Yan said, "Sister Su is very powerful and capable. Since she came back to the capital, the capital seems to have become different. In the past, those ladies of great families were often talked about. Since she returned to Beijing, those It seems that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that ladies are talking about are not so talked about, and they seem to be pediatrics in front of the vigorous family and country affairs she has done."
Ye Rui smiled, "Not only in the capital, but also in the public opinion of the people all over the world, she is also a heroine."
Liu Yan nodded, "Yes, brother Ye is really lucky to marry sister Su."
Ye Rui was noncommittal.
Liu Yan said, "But Brother Ye is also very good. He has been smarter than all of us since he was a child. In the capital, even when the Guozhang's Mansion was the most glorious, the Guozhang didn't dare to provoke Brother Ye. Everyone in the Guozhang's Mansion waited. Seeing Brother Ye, I shy away from him. Brother Ye and Sister Su are the best match."
Ye Rui smiled, "Ye Shizi's sharpness is not easy to leak, and he has the ability to be admired."
Liu Yan nodded, "My grandfather always said that it would be great if I was as smart as Brother Ye, but I am so stupid that I failed his expectations."
Ye Rui thought of the rumors about King Jin and what he knew, so he didn't comment.
Ye Chang didn't know that after he returned to Beijing, the eldest prince angrily asked Lin Zhixiao about Lin Ke's whereabouts, and passed down an order to kill Su Fengnuan to Fenglai. On the second day when Baoxiangzhai's treasurer came to Beijing and arrived at Rong'an Palace, he sent someone to invite Xu Yunchu to the mansion, and introduced Baoxiangzhai's treasurer to him.
When Xu Yunchu heard that the shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai came to Beijing to ask for help in shorting the Jinyu Bank under the order of Su Fengnuan, he immediately agreed, and at the same time said happily, "From this point of view, the princess is really safe and sound."
Although the shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai thought that Ye Chang would recommend Xu Yunchu, he would definitely agree, but he didn't expect to be so happy and easy to talk, and immediately said cheerfully, "The girl is fine, and the old witch's martial arts today may not be a girl in my opinion." It's just that the girl seems to have some scruples and dare not confront her head-on."
Ye Chang said, "She has some scruples, she is pregnant after all."
The shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai suddenly opened his eyes wide, and suddenly realized, "So that's the case, no wonder."
Xu Yunchu smiled and cupped his hands at Ye Chang when he heard the words, "I haven't congratulated Ye Shizi yet."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "It won't be too late for you to congratulate me when she returns to Beijing safely and gives birth smoothly."
Xu Yunchu said, "The concubine is intelligent, she will definitely turn the danger into safety, and turn the danger into safety."
Ye Chang nodded, "I hope so."
Xu Yunchu said to the shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai, "Later, I will send someone to follow you out of Beijing and fully cooperate with you in shorting Jinyu Bank."
The shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Xiaoguo."
Xu Yunchu waved his hand, "You don't have to thank me." Then he said to Ye Chang, "Since the second prince's injury is getting worse, after I met him, I secretly sent someone to watch Shaode Hall. After you returned to Beijing yesterday, the first prince I have been to the Shaode Hall, and when I came out, my face was not good, and I ordered people to block the Shaode Hall, I am afraid that the second prince is even worse now."
Ye Chang said, "That is to say, the second prince is controlled by the first prince? Does he not even have freedom?"
Xu Yunchu nodded.
Ye Chang said, "I owe him a debt of gratitude for helping to thoroughly investigate the secret road case. Now that I'm back in Beijing, since nothing happened to him, I'll help him."
Xu Yunchu said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to help. The First Prince ordered people to blockade the Shaohua Hall. Now it's not easy to see him, and it's even more difficult to save him."
Ye Chang asked, "How many people guard Shaode Hall?"
Xu Yunchu said, "Five hundred guards in the Imperial Palace have sealed the Shaode Hall so tightly that no bird can fly, and not a single fly can get in or out."
Ye Chang speculated, "It stands to reason that the second prince's leg and foot injuries have not healed, and his actions are not free. He doesn't need to block the Shaode Palace. Now it is blocked, so it can be seen that there is something ulterior. Don't let it out."
Xu Yunchu said, "Maybe it's because I'm afraid that the second prince will spread some news to the outside world."
Ye Chang narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, "The second prince's weakness is Nuan Er, if there is any news, it must be related to her."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Maybe so."
Ye Chang said, "In this case, I will rescue him even more." After he finished speaking, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and when he had an idea, he said to Xu Yunchu, "After I return to Beijing, I should also go to see the eldest prince, and I will restrain him." Hold him, you secretly rescued the second prince out of Shaode Hall, is it possible?"
Xu Yunchu nodded, "If it weren't for the eldest prince staring at me everywhere, I wouldn't be able to do anything, and I would have taken him out of the Shaode Palace long ago. If you suppress the eldest prince now, I will give up the Xu family's hidden stake in the palace for many years. It can be done."
