Seeing himself, Master Chu Youtian couldn't help but shout, "Okay, okay, okay."
Then Chu Master Youtian looked down again, and saw that his brows could not help but frown slightly. It also said that due to the large number of people affected by the disaster in the capital, the food and grass brought before was no longer enough.
Master Chu Youtian couldn't help but make calculations in his mind. He knew that after the flood in Jiandu, he sent people to other areas to buy back a large amount of grain and grass, preparing to transport it to the frontier fortress, so that the soldiers at the frontier fortress could not starve.
I didn't expect that the food and grass that I brought to Jiandu last time would be used up so quickly. There is still some time before the autumn, so I thought of taking some out of it and sending it to Jiandu first, and then sending the food and grass to the frontier to come later. Get it together.
Thinking of this, Master Chu Youtian called Eunuch Li, "Go and call the third prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li responded and walked out of the imperial study.
The residence of the third prince.
At this time, Master Chu Weiming was admiring flowers with Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi was already more than three months pregnant and her belly was already showing.
The imperial doctor had already seen him and said that judging from his symptoms, he was a boy.
For this reason, Concubine Xiao Shu asked Master Chu Weiming to clear out all the wild flowers and weeds in the yard, and devote herself to accompany Liu Yiyi so that she could give birth to the emperor's grandson as soon as possible.
At this time, Li He came over and whispered in Chu Shiweiming's ear, "Third Prince, Eunuch Li is here."
Master Chu Weiming nodded at this time, "I understand."
Liu Yiyi on the side saw it and asked Master Chu Weiming, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"It's a small matter. I have to leave for a while. You can go back to your room to rest. I will accompany you next time." Master Chu Weiming nodded at this time, then said, and said that he would be blown by the wind into Liu Yiyi's face. The hair on top is parted.
Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "Well, okay, husband, go ahead and do your work first."
"Azi, help the bad princess into the room to rest." Master Chu Weiming called to Azi at the side.
After hearing this, Ah Zi quickly responded, "Yes, Third Prince."
"Princess, let's go back to the house." As she said this, Ah Zi took Liu Yiyi's arm.
Liu Yiyi nodded and walked towards her residence.
At this time, Master Chu Weiming asked Li He, "Eunuch Li, can you tell me what happened?"
"I didn't say it." Li He shook his head and said.
After hearing this, Master Chu Weiming said, "Let's go and have a look."
With that said, he walked towards the front hall.
When Eunuch Li saw Master Chu Weiming coming, he stood up from his chair and said, "Third Prince."
"Eunuch Li is here because of what the father has to do?" Chu Shiweiming asked at this time.
I saw Eunuch Li smiling and saying, "The emperor is looking for the third prince, but as for what it is, our family doesn't know."
"Excuse me, Eunuch Li, for making this trip. Let's leave quickly, lest father wait in a hurry." Chu Shi Weiming said at this time.
Eunuch Li smiled and nodded, "Let's go then."
Along the way, Master Chu and Wei Ming were wondering why his father was looking for him. He didn't seem to have done anything during this period.
Arriving at the door of the Royal Study, Eunuch Li stopped and said, "Third Prince, please wait here while we go to pass the news first."
Master Chu Weiming smiled and nodded to Eunuch Li.
After a while, Eunuch Li walked out of the imperial study and said, "Third Prince, come in."
In the imperial study room, Master Chu Youtian was looking at the memorial.
After Chu Master Wei Ming walked in, Shan Qi knelt down and said, "I'm going to pay homage to my father."
"Pingsheng." Chu Shi Youtian said at this time and put down the memorial in his hand.
At this time, Chu Shiwei Ming asked Chu Shi Youtian, "Father, I'm asking you to come here this time, but what's the matter?"
"Yes, there is news from Jiandu that there is not much food and grass left. I am going to send some more food and grass to Jiandu, and you will be responsible for this trip." Chu Shi Youtian said at this time.
After hearing this, Master Chu Weiming couldn't help but feel relieved. He thought that Master Chu Youtian knew about his private actions, but it turned out to be this.
So Chu Master Wei Ming said, "I will obey the order and the food and grass will be delivered safely."
"Okay, this time we will transport another hundred stones of grain and grass to the capital so that the people of the capital can get out of trouble as soon as possible." Chu Shi Youtian said at this time.
At this moment, Eunuch Li walked in from the outside and walked directly to Master Chu Youtian, "Your Majesty, someone has sent an urgent letter from the frontier for eight hundred miles."
"Oh, let him in quickly." Master Chu Youtian said quickly after hearing this.
At this time Lan You walked in, knelt down and said, "See the Emperor."
"No need to be polite, please get up quickly." Master Chu Youtian stood up and said.
Lan stood up at this time and took out the letter written by General Li. Eunuch Li hurriedly walked forward and took it.
Then he brought it to Master Chu Youtian and said, "Your Majesty."
After Chu Master Youtian took it, he quickly opened it. After reading it, Chu Master Youtian couldn't help but frown. Unexpectedly, what he was worried about happened.
The letter said that Xiling had recently shown signs of invading Dongling, and asked him to mobilize troops to the frontier to make a complete plan!
Seeing Master Chu Youtian's expression change slightly at this time, Master Chu Weiming said, "Father, if there is nothing else, I will go down and prepare first."
"Wait a moment." Master Chu Youtian said at this time.
Hearing what Chu Master Youtian said, Chu Master Wei Ming asked, "Father, what else can you do?"
"The food and grass sent to Jiandu has been reduced by half." Chu Shi Youtian said at this time.
Now that the border fortress is urgent, food and grass must be provided, so Chu Shi Youtian decided to reduce the food and grass sent to the capital.
Replenish the frontier fortress first.
After Chu Shiwei Ming heard this, he looked puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just obeyed the order, and then said, "My son, please retire."
At this time, Master Chu Youtian waved his hand.
After Master Chu Weiming left, Master Chu Youtian said to Lan You, "Go back and tell General Li that I will send troops as soon as possible."
"Yes, your Majesty, my subordinates will go back and resume their duties immediately." Lan or said and exited the imperial study.
After Lan Ori left, Master Chu Youtian said to Eunuch Li, "Go and find General Cheng."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li responded and walked out of the imperial study.
Master Chu Youtian put the letter away at this time, hoping that he could avoid danger this time.
In General Cheng's house, General Cheng is practicing swordsmanship in the house at this time. Although he is over half a year old, his figure is still heroic.
Eunuch Li came to the courtyard at this time and couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded, "General Cheng is really good at swordsmanship."
General Cheng put away his sword when he heard the sound, "Why is Eunuch Li free to come here?"
"Today the emperor received an urgent request from the frontier fortress of 800 miles, so he asked our family to come and invite General Cheng into the palace." Eunuch Li said at this time.
General Cheng couldn't help frowning after hearing this, "Eight hundred miles urgent? Eunuch Li, wait for me for a moment. I'll change my clothes. I'll follow you into the palace."
"Well, okay." Eunuch Li nodded and said.
Royal study room.
General Cheng walked into the imperial study room anxiously, "Your Majesty, what happened to the border fortress?"
"General Cheng, please be patient. Today's letter from General Li states that Xiling has committed an attack on Dongling. This year, the capital is flooded. In previous years, military rations were supplied by the capital. I also feel that when Xiling arrives, I am afraid that we will take advantage of it." Come in empty!" Master Chu Youtian said to General Cheng at this time.
General Cheng nodded after hearing this, "Then what does the emperor need from the general?"
"I want to mobilize three thousand imperial guards from the imperial city to the frontier fortress, and we can't let Xiling take advantage of the loophole!" Chu Shi Youtian said at this time.
General Cheng then said, "Then... Your Majesty, when will we set off for the border fortress?"
"General Cheng is going to prepare today. He will set off early tomorrow morning and bring the army rations to the border fortress." Chu Master Youtian thought for a moment and said.
The only way is to take the military rations prepared these days to the frontier first, and then find a way to purchase the military rations later.
General Cheng nodded after hearing this, "Then Your Majesty, I will retire now and go prepare."
"Okay." Master Chu Youtian responded.
Master Chu Weiming returned to the Taoist mansion and walked to Liu Yiyi's house.
"Husband, are you back?" Liu Yiyi stood up and said when she saw Master Chu Weiming.
Master Chu Weiming nodded, then walked to Liu Yiyi and helped her sit down, "Tomorrow I will go to the capital to deliver food and grass. It will probably take some time to come back. You have to take care of me in the meantime. body, let our children grow up slowly."
Master Chu Weiming said and touched Liu Yiyi's belly with his hand.
In the past, Liu Yiyi would have been shy when she heard these loving words, but when she heard that Chu Master Youtian was going to Jiandu, she immediately looked at Chu Master Weiming with worry, "Husband, I heard that the plague in Jiandu is very serious. , why did the father send you there? How about we ask the mother and concubine to talk to the father?"
"No, the plague in Jiandu has been controlled. Besides, I am strong and strong, how could I catch the plague? The imperial concubine is too worried. Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back." Master Chu Weiming looked at Liu Yiyi and smiled. said.
After hearing what Master Chu Weiming said, Liu Yiyi originally wanted to say something, but then she had no choice but to say. "Then husband, please take care of yourself."
"I got it, then I'll go and get ready." Master Chu Weiming patted Liu Yiyi's hand and said.
Early the next morning, General Cheng led three thousand troops and horses towards the frontier fortress, while the third prince, Chu Shiwei Ming, headed for the capital with fifty stones of grain and grass and two thousand taels of silver.
Now that the treasury is empty, Chu Shiyoutian really doesn't have much silver to allocate to the capital to repair the dam!
But he didn't want to be blamed by the world, so after thinking about it, he decided to
Build a capital.
Since the water source was changed, the plague has been controlled. Even people who were unable to move while lying in bed can now walk out and move around.
For the people who built the capital, this was a good sign, and it was the beginning of their escape from bad luck!
During this period, Shuoling led the victims in Jiandu to rebuild the lightly damaged houses. After a few days, some people had moved into their homes.
Every time Qiao Shu prepared tonic for Shuo Ling, Yang Zijin would watch intentionally or unintentionally. She had suffered from Qiao Shu before, but she would not fall twice on the same road.
Yang Zijin could see that although Qiao Shu was just the daughter of an imperial doctor and not of noble status, before she met Shuo Ling, Qiao Shu could freely enter and leave Shuo's house.
You must know that Shuohou used to be a womanizer. Even the guards in the palace were not female, but they were the only ones who did not set up defenses against Qiao Shu. However, she never saw from Shuoling's eyes that he had any feelings for Qiao Shu. aspects of emotion.
Could it be that something happened between Qiao Shu and Shuo Ling before? It seems that she will also find an opportunity to ask this Shuo Ling.
