My concubine is so good at curling

Chapter 197
A heavy snow came suddenly, which made the palace covered in white.

This auspicious snowfall made the emperor feel very good. The previous dynasty was safe and sound, but it snowed heavily for three days. When he was about to get tired of watching, the battle in Beixia changed.Before the winter, General Yunhui invited tens of thousands of horses from the emperor. Out of trust in him, the emperor approved his application to mobilize a firearms battalion, and allocated all the arrows and military pay he requested.

It takes a lot of money, and what I want is to kill with one blow and cut off future troubles.

Fighting is about money and food. No matter how rich Yanchi is, he doesn't want to spend too long in Beixia. It is a poor land, and there are not many resources to divide it. On the contrary, he often harass Yanchi's people. The teacher is famous, and he made up his mind to beat them all at once, and it would be best if he could do it directly.

With the best generals and sufficient logistics, the emperor feels that this battle must be won.

However, what came with heavy snowfall was Zhezi who was in a stalemate.

How can this stalemate live?
Not to mention the fact that the war is so far away, it's like filming a drama crew going abroad, and one more day of delay is burning money.In ancient times, marching was even more rigorous. If the food and grass could not keep up, there would be a mutiny, and the soldiers would starve to death. All of Yanchi's combat power would be consumed. Just thinking about the emperor made his heart ache.

And the firearms battalion...

There is nothing else about this thing, it is expensive and rare.

It is not cheap to train a formation that can use firearms.

As for how expensive?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this battle should be done quickly rather than delayed!"

Minister of the Ministry of War performed myocardial infarction in court.

In the notebook that General Rong sent back, he was still asking the court for food, money and people.

The emperor was not a harsh person, he knew very well that the cattle had to be fed and grazed to plow the fields, so even though General Rong asked him for a huge amount before he set off for the expedition, he was under pressure and gave as he should, without saying a word.

Monarchs and ministers focus on trust!
After all, the promise made to him by General Rong before the expedition was that he wanted this amount, and guaranteed to beat the rebels to pieces.

In fact, it was at a stalemate, and there was still a hint of decline as described in the excerpt.

Not only the emperor was furious, but the other ministers were also shocked and puzzled. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little bit of trouble in their hearts——General Rong is very powerful in the army, so he won't be asking for money and food to support himself and become king!The imperial concubine is still in the palace, General Rong loves his daughter the most, and always puts more emphasis on his eyes than his eyes, and if he wants the moon, he will give it along with the stars.

Just thinking about it, if you can get things done after having a different heart, what's the difference if you lose one eyeball?

This conjecture permeated all the civil and military officials along with the chill outside the palace.

"The change of generals before the battle will shake the morale of the army, so I will trust him again." The emperor drafted a decree with stern words, indicating that this is the last time, ordering General Rong to make a quick decision.In fact, the emperor not only wanted him to hurry up, but also wanted him to clarify the whereabouts of the military expenditures, but the enemy was ahead and it was not appropriate to doubt the general, so he did not show it for the time being.

All the officials were worried, and the Xuanzheng Hall was overwhelmed by dark clouds.

Just like the first bullet fired by Serbian students at the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they didn't know that it would trigger the First World War, but this mediocre military plane story quickly caused political turmoil in the Yanchi Dynasty.

Guo Ruike handed over the brochure and read a copy of Rong Xuetao's. The evidence of bribery and clique formation is solid. In previous years, the emperor sent Rong Xuetao to relieve floods. Among them, there were false reports of expenses, appointment of cronies, extravagant disaster relief and river bank governance. Zhu Xin actually pushed this former favorite minister to the edge of a cliff.

The emperor's face was as sinking as water, but he left the papers unpublished, which made all the civil servants anxious.

Could it be that the emperor's love for the Rong family is so indulgent?
But after keeping the compromise, the emperor made another move—he rewarded Guo Ruike generously.

The former court was in turmoil, and the harem was followed by panic.

Even Chang Zai, who was the most uninformed, had heard rumors that it was best not to cause trouble recently, and not to provoke Concubine Rong.

With the emperor's order, the empress cut off the communication channels between the empress and concubine and outside the palace, and Guo Xiaoyi received the news from her parents before the "letter cut-off day", knowing that the Rong family might be in trouble this time, the civil servants rang It was her father Guo Ruike who fired the first shot.

The Rong family has been beautiful for so long, it's time to change the feng shui!

Guo Xiaoyi felt extremely happy.

She wanted to go to Zhaoyang Palace to visit Concubine Rong on the spot, but was held back by Xie Sheng.

"Don't worry, the imperial concubine won't have a good life for long."

Xie Sheng: "I'm not worried about this."

"Then why are you holding me back? Could it be that you were bewitched by Mrs. Jiang, and you also think that the imperial concubine is a good person?"

Guo Xiaoyi couldn't believe it!
What drug did Concubine Shu give her son!
"Mother, listen to me," Xie Sheng said helplessly, "Whether the Rong family falls or not, she is still the imperial concubine personally appointed by the emperor. If you come to taunt her, mother thinks that with the temperament of a noble concubine, she will bear it." , or will you fly into a rage, and will punish you severely regardless? As a son of man, how can I sit by and watch my mother and concubine in danger? Please think again."

What Xie Sheng didn't say was that according to the imperial concubine's affection with her father...

An outbreak of Guo Xiaoyi is not a big deal.

A passage called Guo Xiaoyi a wilting dish.

According to Concubine Rong's temperament, she might give her ten slaps before she finished her eccentric words: "You are right, let me see how long she can be prosperous, and when she is unlucky!"

Guo Xiaoyi is easy to get hotheaded and do things like death, no one can persuade her, but she can only listen to her son's words, which saves her flesh and blood pain.
-
Contrary to what Guo Xiaoyi thought, Concubine Rong's quality of life has not declined.

Only Concubine Rong felt that her voice in the harem was not as good as before, and the servants were not so attentive to her anymore.In the eyes of others, the emperor did not let Shen Rong Xuetao's papers pass, and General Rong's papers for soldiers and food were also approved, which shows that the Rong family has not fallen out of favor.

In Jianzhang Palace.

After giving birth to Princess Taihua, the queen's already sick body was even more depleted of medicine. She stopped incense early, because after years of boiling soup and medicine, no matter what kind of incense, the smell of medicine mixed with it is not very pleasant.

The queen closed her eyes halfway and told all the servants in the inner hall to leave.

Before leaving, Fu Jin put down the pitch-black soup, worried about turning back three times at every step, which made Jiang Xian amused: "If Fu Jin can't let go, I'll come and feed your mother the medicine later."

"The slaves dare not, but the imperial doctor said that the empress should rest recently, and it is not appropriate to worry too much."

The queen said with a smile: "Fu Jin is just too worried. Go out, there is Concubine Shu here, there is nothing to worry about, just talk about yourself."

After all the palace people withdrew, the empress sighed: "Before I married the emperor, I was surrounded by a group of servants. I got used to it. It's only recently that I feel that they are nervous about me. It looks like Bengong will go anytime," she said after laying the groundwork, "This matter has nothing to do with Bengong, but for the sake of the First Prince and Taihua, I have to call you here."

Although the Chu family is a family, their style of conduct is low-key and introverted. They did not participate in this party struggle, and the queen has already stood at the top of the harem. Her career has come to an end. If she does more mistakes, she will be invincible.

Being a queen is not without weaknesses.

Her weakness is her only daughter, Princess Taihua.

The queen has no system, and she doesn't know that the emperor is particularly able to live. She is afraid that she will not live long. After the emperor's death, there is no one to protect Taihua. For the prince, he was afraid that Jiang Xian, who had always been on good terms with Concubine Rong, would misjudge the situation and implicate the eldest prince.

"These words, I only speak to you alone," the empress said clearly: "The emperor's refusal to publish Can Rong Xuetao's notes is not to show mercy, but to uproot them when the general trend has been achieved. You must not wading into this muddy water. This matter cannot be said to have no impact on the noble concubine, but it will definitely not endanger her life."

Seeing that Jiang Xian's expression was clear, she was obviously mentally prepared, the queen couldn't help but be surprised.

Jiang Xian said: "General Rong has a lot of prestige and power. The emperor can't kill him rashly. The point of this move is to reward Mr. Guo and send a signal to all civil and military officials-this is a way to overthrow Rong. This is an excellent time for the family, just impeach it. Others see that the emperor did not punish Rong Xuetao, but rewarded Mr. Guo, and they will definitely think that the matter of embezzling money is true. It is only due to the power of the Rong family that it is not appropriate to punish him, so they compensated Mr. Guo. For consolation."

Then, the emperor just needs to sit on the high platform and wait for the memorial to impeach the Rong family to come like snowflakes.

As for General Rong, who has been highly praised for many years, he only feels that the emperor loves him very much, so that he will not be forced to jump the wall and do things like rebellion.After all, even the other courtiers felt that the emperor suppressed the book to protect the Rong family.

The minister of the brachio-femoral and the gangrene of the attached bone are only in one thought.

The queen listened quietly for a while, then smiled: "The emperor didn't dote on you in vain, you really understand him."

Jiang Xian was noncommittal.

Of course she knew the emperor quite well, but more, she came to the conclusion from a condescending look at the past by a modern person who has studied history - whatever is learned in modern times, the ancients wanted to hide it. Dragon Slaying Technique: "Thanks to my father's ineffectiveness, the emperor can trust me with confidence. What the empress is worried about will not happen. The emperor has his own decision on this matter, and it is not my turn to speak."

"It's nice of you to think so,"

The queen nodded: "Looking at the entire Rong family, the safest one is the imperial concubine. If others talk too much, it will harm her instead."

The imperial concubine has no children, which is the key reason for her safety.

If Jiang Xian jumped up to try to protect the Rong family, it would instead be reminding the emperor——

The Rong family didn't have any dragon heirs, but Jiang Xian gave birth to his most outstanding and most valued eldest prince. When did they change from a personal relationship between two concubines to a solidarity party between two concubines, and their relationship is so close?
Undercurrents surged in the previous dynasty, and the emperor did not set foot in the harem for half a month.

It is said that these days, there are so many documents to impeach the Rong family that it takes two powerful eunuchs to move them.

This winter was the coldest in ten years.

The war in Beichuan did not improve because of the imperial court's reinforcements. General Rong didn't ask for troops anymore, he only asked for food and grass. The rebellious minister seemed to be waiting for him to come back to settle the matter. It would be best if the emperor knew something and dealt with them before he came back.

The emperor laughed angrily on the spot.

He didn't say anything else, sat on the dragon chair for a while, but found that no one was available.

Regardless of whether the reason for the stalemate in Beichuan was General Rong's deliberate action or whether it was really difficult to fight, it is still a hot potato, and most of the generals support General Rong. The emperor named two people and they came out. It is a taboo for military strategists to kneel down and remonstrate with the emperor to change generals before the battle, which almost made the emperor angry again.

At this time, the emperor can only look more at the minister of the Ministry of war.

Because General Rong didn't ask for ordinary soldiers this time, but asked for more gunpowder from the emperor. The Minister of War was supported by his colleagues so that he would not fall down.

Looking at all the officials, there is no one available.

Letting the generals sent by General Rong go is no different from not sending anyone there.

Just as the emperor's eyes were getting colder, a young man standing very far back came out with his fists cupped and said loudly, "I would like to give it a try."

It took the emperor two seconds to remember who he was.

This person is Jiang Yi, the cousin of Concubine Shu.

At first, Jiang Xian wanted to find him a job in the army, but the emperor changed his mind and let him serve as Lan Ling's bodyguard. Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted repeatedly, and finally he was allowed to join the Military Aircraft Department.The emperor has long seen that he is a talent, so he made an exception for the promotion - of course, there is also the meaning of supporting Jiang Xian's relatives, after all, the concubine's family is too shabby, he can't see it.

But in the final analysis, it was because Jiang Yi showed his talent.

Like Jiang Xian's own father, who is still studying in the Imperial Academy every day.

Therefore, the emperor approved his invitation to fight, and considering his lack of qualifications, he ordered another important minister who did not stand in line to go with him to increase his weight.

After coming down to court, the emperor sent Jiang Yi to the Qiankun Palace for a secret talk, but no one knew the content.

Then, the emperor gave him a grace——

Before leaving for Beichuan, he could meet his cousin Concubine Shu.

But Jiang Yi didn't dare: "How dare I accept the reward without making an inch of merit for the emperor? I only hope that when I return from the great victory, I can ask the emperor to reward the fourth prince with a glass of full moon wine."

His humble attitude just hit the emperor's pain point at the moment.

The military generals who need to be used are all supported by Rong's family or general Rong Rong. They act domineeringly and always talk about their own merits.

Jiang Yi's demeanor of being cautious and respectful fits his wishes very well.

That's right, how can you deserve a reward if you haven't done an inch of merit?

The emperor can reward his ministers because he is happy, but if he dare not accept it, he will show his good character of knowing how to measure.

"Alright." The emperor said happily.

The emperor's heart is like an abyss.

Jiang Yi's thoughts were not so complicated - he went to Beichuan on this trip, in addition to going out to fight, he also had to investigate the reason for the stalemate in the war. The emperor's suspicion of the Rong family was as high as a small mountain. He was just going to check on the family. If the relationship is good, it's better for him not to avoid suspicion!

Jiang Yi's departure did not take away the dark clouds that were pressing on the palace.

Jiang Xian, who lived deep in the harem, took an attitude of indifference to this matter. While concentrating on prenatal education for the child in her womb, she had to pay close attention to Zhao'er's education, so that he would know that even if he had younger siblings, his mother's love for him Love has not diminished by half.
