Chapter 33
But halfway through the meal, she couldn't bear it anymore, and said to the old lady: "Grandma, today I met a little maid in the mansion. She used the name of Mrs. Shen to enter and leave the east courtyard at will, and I saw Seeing that she has an extremely domineering temper, she even spoke against me today."

As soon as the old lady heard this, she said: "There is another matter, which girl do you tell grandma?"

Liang Yifei then took out the sachet: "I didn't ask which girl, but that girl is very stubborn, I'm afraid I can't even ask, only this sachet."

Seeing that the old lady was a little confused, she continued: "As soon as I went in today, I ran into her sneaky, as if she was going to put this sachet, so I scolded her for not knowing the rules, but I was contradicted by her." some."

Pei Xun frowned slightly, Jiang Youzhi was probably the only one beside his mother who was able to enter and leave the east courtyard at will, and who dared to speak out against her, he was complaining in front of his own face.

The old lady nodded: "Then next time, when you see that girl again, you can punish her, I agree."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yifei responded happily: "Thank you grandma."

But Pei Xun, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth at this moment: "The people in my courtyard don't bother outsiders to discipline them."

Liang Yifei raised her head in astonishment, she never thought that Pei Xun would defend her like this, just a little maid.

Just about to say something: "But..."

But was interrupted ruthlessly, Pei Xun rolled his eyelids, and said in a cold tone, "Miss Liang, please return the sachet."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, his eyes were full of refusal.

There was resentment in Liang Yifei's eyes, she suppressed her anger, and after a stalemate for a while, she still reluctantly handed over the sachet.

After receiving the sachet, Pei Xun got up and saluted, "Grandmother, my grandson still has work to do, so I will take my leave first."

Looking at Pei Xun's leaving back, Liang Yifei became more and more sure of her thoughts, that girl is definitely not simple today.

Governor Qiliu's yamen.

Governor Lin Yuanquan had just read a letter, and after a few quarters of an hour of contemplation, he asked the guard, "Have you prepared all the food and grass that will be sent to Jiagu Road tomorrow?"

The guard said respectfully: "Return to your lord, everything is ready."

Lin Yuanquan nodded: "Take me to have a look."

A group of food and grass were packed tightly on the carriage, and they were already ready to go.

Lin Yuanquan glanced at it, and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow only ten cars will be sent."

The guard said: "My lord, what about the next batch?"

As Lin Yuanquan walked out, he said, "Press first."

As night fell, a large amount of grain and grass were tied to stones and sunk into the bottom of the river in bags.

Jiagu Road Dazhou camp.

Yuan Zhengbang angrily slapped the letter in his hand on the table: "What does he mean by Lin Yuanquan! Fifty thousand troops are waiting for food and grass on the front line, and he dares to push back and stop supplying on time with excuses! He missed the opportunity, can he take care of it! "

The general on the opposite side was a little embarrassed: "General, the food and grass in the camp can only last for ten days at most."

Yuan Zhengbang said angrily: "Send someone to urge you!"

The general frowned and said, "This subordinate has already sent someone to urge you, but Master Yuan used various reasons to prevaricate at the beginning, but in the last few times, he simply pretended not to hear, and he didn't even reply to the letter..."

Yuan Zhengbang clenched his fist and punched the case hard. Beijing was pressing hard, and the rear was on fire again. If this last battle dragged on, the soldiers would probably starve to death before they even went to the battlefield!
He said in a deep voice: "Ask all the battalions to prepare, and fight Rouran to the death in three days' time!"

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately knelt down: "General, the situation is still unclear, and I may not be at the right time to fight rashly."

Why didn't Yuan Zhengbang understand this truth, but if it dragged on, there would be no chance of winning. The letter sent to His Highness Ninth Prince and Pei Xun hadn't received any reply since half a month ago, and it might have been intercepted long ago. .

Up to now, even if he wrote another hundred letters, he still couldn't send them back to Beijing.

He stretched out his hand: "No need to say too much, hurry up and prepare for the battle."

The residence of the Nine Princes in Kyoto.

As soon as Pei Xun arrived in a hurry, Chu Dai was lowering his head and rubbing his brows. As soon as he saw Pei Xun, he said anxiously: "Ah Xun, my father already knew about the defeat at the front line. He will definitely summon us in a few hours." .”

Chu Dai was in charge of the Ministry of War, and Yuan Zhengbang was recommended by Pei Xun. The emperor will definitely take them this time.

Pei Xun also felt that this matter was tricky: "Lin Yuanquan is Su Qi'an's disciple, they left Kongqi in two places, we were already passive, now that the matter has come to this, the emperor will be furious, and we cannot absolve ourselves of the blame. It’s better to plead guilty to the emperor in person first, and temporarily put the Ministry of War with them.”

In this battle, although they held the military power, they fought on Jiagu Road, and the supply of food and grass was mainly from Qiliu and Qiliu. Su Qi'an made various excuses and did not supply on time, so Yuan Zhengbang was anxious to find the enemy for a decisive battle.

Chu Dai nodded: "But I still can't swallow this breath, Su Qi'an must be eliminated!"

Tai Chi Temple.

Emperor Wen of Zhou was furious: "There are 5 horses, and the whole army is wiped out! Lao Jiu, you are in charge of the Ministry of War, tell me!"

Chu Dai immediately stepped forward and knelt down: "Father, my son managed the military department, but he failed to take responsibility for his name, resulting in the destruction of an army of [-]. My son thought that he was far less capable than the Sixth Highness, so I recommended the Sixth Highness." Assuming this position, I am willing to hand over the management of the Ministry of War to His Highness the Sixth Highness."

As he spoke, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and held it high above his head: "This is my son's resignation, please accept my father's approval."

The eunuch took the memorial, the emperor glanced at Chu Dai, and said to Pei Xun, "Pei Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Pei Xun immediately stepped forward and said: "Returning to the emperor, I feel that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness should adapt to changes and analyze the details, so it is suitable for this job."

Emperor Wen of Zhou was silent for a moment, raised his eyelids, and suddenly said sharply: "A defeat has made you all shrink back!"

The news that the emperor detained the Ninth Prince and Pei Xun in the main hall spread widely within an hour.

Jiang Youzhi was admiring the flowers in the pavilion with Mrs. Shen, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, and the weather had completely warmed up.

Suddenly Yan'er ran over and said anxiously: "Mistress, the young master has been detained by the emperor in the Tai Chi Hall!"

Mrs. Shen stood up suddenly: "What's going on? Where's Ah Chang?"

Yan'er said: "It's the news from the palace, the guard Chang is also in the palace!"

As soon as this incident happened, even the old lady was alarmed, and everyone in Pei's house felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Jiang Youzhi heard that the front line had been defeated this morning, and when he saw Pei Xun rushing into the palace, he felt faintly worried.

She immediately went back to her room and wrote a letter for her brother herself.

Tai Chi Temple.

A crowd of people knelt on the ground, and Chu Dai asked himself to resign from his job in charge of the Ministry of War, which could not dispel Emperor Zhou Wen's anger.

At this time, someone from the palace reported: "The Poinsettia Grandmaster has entered the palace."

The poinsettia strolled over, he glanced at the emperor secretly, then knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the war is not over yet, now Rouran wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, if I, Da Zhou, shrink back at this time, I will be ridiculed by the world, please You make up your mind as soon as possible."

Emperor Wen of Zhou was also worried, so he said to Poinsettia, "Grandmaster, what do you think of this matter?"

Poinsettia said in a deep voice: "I missed a good opportunity in this battle, and now I have to ask His Highness Sixth to take over the job."

Emperor Wen of Zhou sighed, his eyes seemed to loosen.

Poinsettia continued: "The emperor always rewards and punishes clearly. This time His Highness Ninth Prince and Mr. Pei have indeed neglected their duties. If they are not punished, it will be difficult to quell the resentment of the government and the opposition. Please ask the emperor to fine them with one year's salary."

Emperor Zhou Wen walked up and down a few times, then said, "That's the way it is."
