Chapter 48 048 Angry
This time, Xie Shiyun woke up quickly, but it was exactly the same as the previous time. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Yi who was guarding the bed.

Sighing, Xie Shiyun asked, "Did I faint again?"

Jiang Yidao: "Well, maybe it's because I've soaked in hot water for a long time, so I passed out."

Xie Shiyun didn't expect that the reason for her fainting was so lame, she felt ashamed immediately, this was the second time she felt ashamed today.

"Then what's on me." Xie Shiyun really couldn't ask.

Jiang Yi saw her swaying, and a faint smile appeared on her mouth, "Do you want to ask who changed the clothes for you?"

Xie Shiyun nodded.

Jiang Yidao: "Who do you think it could be? We are the only ones in this room. Since you have passed out, then..." "Don't talk about it, I know."

Before Jiang Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Shiyun, and then turned his back to Jiang Yi who was beside the bed. It was obvious that he didn't want to communicate.

When Jiang Yi saw this, he knew that Xie Shiyun had misunderstood him, but seeing someone with his back turned to him, Jiang Yi felt that there was no need to explain. Anyway, it wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but that the other party didn't want to hear it, right?

After hearing Jiang Yi's footsteps walking out of the house, Xie Shiyun was annoyed on the bed, she was really unlucky, why would Jiang Yi bump into every embarrassing scene.

In the small courtyard, although there was a little bit of embarrassment between the two of them, their days were pretty good, but the emperor who was in the same city couldn't sleep all night.

The war has started for more than a month, but the situation in the northern border has not been eased at all. Even now, he is marching in person, but he can't hold back the opponent's large number of people.

Those small subsidiary countries are not worth mentioning when viewed separately, but when those people get together and condense into one, it becomes a headache.

And just half a month ago, the enemy suddenly changed their offensive strategy and caught the Northern Guardians by surprise, which made the already chaotic situation even worse.

In the northern palace, the emperor was still discussing the next plan with Shen Jianshan, but he was told that there was a food crisis in the barracks.

You must know that no matter when the three armies have not moved, the food and grass go first, but they have only fought against each other for more than a month, and the food and grass are already in a hurry. This makes the emperor who has no experience in the battlefield even more flustered.

"King of the Northern Territory, do you have food in the Northern Territory?"

Shen Jianshan shook his head: "The war has dragged on for a long time, and the situation is too big. I am afraid that the food and grass in our barracks will not last long at all."

Hearing these words in the emperor's ears, his heart sank immediately.

"Then what should I do? The capital is thousands of miles away, even if I go to order some food and grass now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Shen Jianshan sighed.

Originally, the food and grass in the northern border was enough for the first half of the war, but now the emperor’s imperial conquest has brought over 10,000+ soldiers. Although they also have food and grass, it is a drop in the bucket after all, not enough for the 10,000+ soldiers to consume. Well, as early as half a month ago, the granaries in the northern border had already started to release grain.

In addition, a large number of people are now stranded in the city, and the consumption of food is getting faster and faster.

"Well, let's put up a notice first, collect some grain from the people, and send a small team to collect it in a place a little farther away. I'm afraid there won't be enough grain in the city, so let's transfer the grain from other places to use it first." , when the war is over, the treasury will allocate some money to pay it back.”

After listening to the emperor's proposal, Shen Jianshan nodded in agreement, "It seems that this is the fastest way now. Does Your Majesty have someone he likes?"

Borrowing food is considered a top priority, so it is natural to find a reliable place to live.

The emperor glanced at Shen Jianshan, and said: "I plan to hand over this matter to Chang Lin." Hearing the name Chang Lin, Shen Jianshan's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Alright, Changlin handles things in a down-to-earth way, which makes people feel at ease. Everyone can rest assured if he entrusts this matter to him."

The emperor said: "Yes, after all, he is the son of the old general. I believe that as long as he exercises well, in time, he might be able to take charge of himself like the old general."

Shen Jianshan smiled meanly after hearing the emperor's words, "I hope that kid Changlin will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations of him."

The two of them together have nearly eight hundred minds, although they are talking about the same thing, but they are thinking about something else.

As early as when Changlin followed the expeditionary army to the north, and handed himself a letter, saying that it was handed over by the concubine Xianfei in the palace, at first Shen Jianshan was quite eager to see Changlin, because he felt that this person, whether he was Beside his daughter, or doing things in the north, he did his best. It wasn't until he opened the letter and read the contents that he realized that this Changlin was not as simple as he had shown.

As early as when he came to the northern border to borrow troops, he might have saved his hand. Recalling what his daughter said in the letter, if it was true, it meant that the capital had already fallen under Xie Yuanshan's control.

But what Shen Jianshan couldn't figure out was how did the emperor leave the capital since the capital had been controlled by Xie Yuanshan?
Why did Xie Yuanshan let him go?

Shen Jianshan felt that if he was Xie Yuanshan, he would definitely not let the emperor leave the capital with 10,000+ soldiers, because after leaving the capital, it is uncertain whether these soldiers can listen to his orders. The 10,000+ army turned around and went straight to the capital, so why does Xie Yuanshan think that he has the possibility of winning in front of 10,000+ soldiers?Or is there someone more powerful than 10,000+ soldiers in the capital?
Thinking of this, Shen Jianshan thought of a person mentioned in his daughter's letter, "Your Majesty, I heard that the fourth prince of Dafeng is currently living in the palace. I wonder if it is possible to bring him to Beijing City?"

The emperor knew what Shen Jianshan was planning as soon as he heard it, "You want to use him to contain Dafeng's army?"

Shen Jianshan nodded: "Yes, he is the fourth prince of Dafeng, with a distinguished status. As long as he is put in front of the confrontation between the two armies, the soldiers of Dafeng will definitely behave intimidated because of this son. For us It's a good thing." The emperor thought for a while, and then agreed, "Since we want to bring people, we can't just bring the fourth prince of Dafeng, as long as the protons are in Daqing, they must be sent to the northern border."

The matter was settled in this way, and the emperor could draw up an imperial decree and send it to the capital in an expedited [-] miles.

But when the imperial decree arrived in the capital, Xie Yuanshan didn't intend to talk to the emperor at all, and it didn't mean that he didn't want to talk to the emperor. He also sent him to the northern city according to the imperial decree, but when everyone arrived, the emperor found There was no sign of Gu Liancheng at all.

"Presumptuous, this Xie Yuanshan really ignored the imperial decree? Why didn't the person I wanted come?"

The person who came was Jin Yi, who was also Xie Yuanshan's confidant.

When the emperor saw that it was her, he still felt a little strange, "Is there no one in this capital? Why did you let you, a girl, escort these important hostages?"

Jin Yi knelt in front of the emperor and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, it's not that the regent doesn't want to send people to the northern border, but"

Seeing Jin Yi hesitating, the emperor said, "What is it?"

Jin Yi said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. On the day you set off with the soldiers, the eldest princess robbed Gu Liancheng's prison and rescued him. His whereabouts are still unknown."
