long live the queen

Chapter 74

Wen Huai didn't know why Yang Yi wanted to summon him, and he was a little apprehensive. When he entered Qianqing Palace and saw Wei Yunqing was there, he felt certain.

"My minister came to see the emperor. I don't know why the emperor is looking for this minister?" Wen Huai said slowly.

Yang Yi was impatient with his politeness, and cut straight to the point: "Wen Huai, I ask you, what do you think about the delivery of grain and grass? I want you to tell the truth without any concealment or bias!"

Although Wen Huai did not expect that Yang Yi would summon him alone to discuss this matter, but the recent debate in the cabinet is the issue of grain and grass transportation, so he already has his own answer to this question.

I saw him stroking his beard, and said slowly: "Returning to the emperor, in my humble opinion, this grain and grass must naturally be transported from the Shengzhou granary. The grain and grass in the Shengzhou granary are sufficient, and there are waterways that can accommodate large ships. It is extremely fast to transport grain here, so it is naturally the best choice."

Yang Yi glanced at Wei Yunqing, what Wen Huai said was in line with what he said in the cabinet before, and Yang Yi didn't know how to proceed.

Wei Yunqing nodded to Yang Yi calmly, then turned to Wen Huai and said, "Master Wen, the emperor still needs to review the memorial, let's go outside first."

Hearing this, Yang Yi immediately said: "That's right, you go out first, I want to read the memorial, and I'll call you in later."

Wen Huai was slightly startled, and then nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

He naturally knew that Wei Yunqing had something to say to him alone, and he was no longer surprised by Yang Yi's cooperation.

The two retreated to the outside room, Wei Yunqing said with a smile: "Master Wen, there are only you and me here, and we are old acquaintances. Ming people don't talk dark words. The matter of transporting grain and grass is related to the life and death of Daliang. I know Mr. Wen I have always been concerned about the country and the people, and I have taken the world as my own responsibility, so I would like to ask Master Wen to advise me, what is the best way to do this matter?"

Although Yang Yi was not there at this time, Wen Huai still insisted on what he said just now: "Madam, the old minister just said that it is best to transport it from the Shengzhou granary."

Wei Yunqing said: "Master Wen, there are no outsiders here, you and I have fought side by side, how about you tell me the truth? I don't know much about the previous dynasty, and I don't know anything about the relationship between officials at all levels. , and Mr. Mao and the others are not on the right track with me. Naturally, I can’t get any useful advice from them, and I can only count on you. If you refuse to tell me the truth, I am really helpless.”

There was a slight hesitation on Wen Huai's face.

Wei Yunqing caught it keenly, and immediately said: "Master Wen, I'm not saying that you bend the law for personal gain or something, people are inevitably selfish, I think it's perfectly normal to think about yourself and those close to you, but when transporting food and grass I would like to ask Mr. Wen to think carefully about this matter. Maybe it seems to you that it is just one of the small crises that Daliang has encountered for hundreds of years. It is not worth mentioning. But history sometimes loves to joke with people. Maybe it's just a small horseshoe nail that can ruin a country. Da Song is now prepared, and the momentum is unstoppable. If there is any inappropriate response from my big beam, it may become a bent camel The last straw. Master Wen, I don’t think you want to be a sinner of Daliang, and be scolded by future generations after thousands of years?”

"Ma'am, you, where are you talking about!" Wen Huai showed displeasure.Literati are naturally very concerned about reputation, and now Wei Yunqing is threatening to leave a bad reputation for thousands of years, he is naturally moved.

"Master Wen, I'm just explaining a possibility. In this world, everything is possible. How do you know that the issue of food and grass will not become a weak point in this battle?" Wei Yunqing said with a serious face, " I think Mr. Wen, you must be familiar with history books, there are countless similar things, tell me, am I right?"

Wen Huai was silent for a while, then sighed: "Madam, it is indeed the best choice to transport grain from the Shengzhou granary."

Seeing that Wei Yunqing opened his mouth to speak, Wen Huai sighed again and said, "However, the person transporting the grain needs to discuss it carefully. I have heard that the envoy of the Shengzhou granary... seems to have some disagreements with General Yan. .”

Wen Huai had a distant relationship with the transshipment envoy of the Shengzhou granary, so this time he wanted to give him credit for the credit. As for the minor incident between the other party and Yan Rusong, he thought it was just a trivial matter before, and he didn't think the other party would because of it. Little things like this make a big difference.It's just that now that Wei Yunqing said so, he also has doubts in his heart, for fear that if that trivial matter really affects the progress of the whole battle, then he will really become Daliang's sinner!
"Does Master Wen have a suitable candidate?" Wei Yunqing asked with joy on his face.She still believed Wen Huai's words. After all, she had the most contact with Wen Huai before, and she didn't know anything about him.

Wen Huai pondered for a moment, and said, "I have two candidates, both of whom have outstanding achievements in political affairs, and are also friends with General Yan. They have experience in escorting food and grass, and they will definitely live up to their trust."

Wei Yunqing said with a smile: "Then please ask Mr. Wen to go to the emperor with me and talk about it, so that people can be selected as soon as possible, so that we can set off as soon as possible, so as not to delay the front-line battle."

"Your Majesty said so." Wen Huai sighed slightly and nodded.

When Wei Yunqing and Wen Huai returned to the study, Yang Yi was pretending to be reading the memorial, but he looked up from time to time, obviously not paying attention.Seeing the two people coming in, he immediately stood up in surprise, but he seemed to feel that this was not good, so he sat down immediately, picked up the memorial and looked at it carefully, his eyes fell on the two people who were walking towards him .

When Wen Huai made a sound, Yang Yi pretended to put down the memorial, looked at Wen Huai slowly and said, "Why, what do you need to come to me?"

"Your Majesty, I still have something to say about the delivery of grain and grass," Wen Huai said.

Yang Yi glanced at Wei Yunqing first, and seeing her nodding in agreement, he smiled and said, "You say so."

Afterwards, the three of them discussed together—in fact, Wen Huai mainly said, Wei Yunqing listened, occasionally asked questions, and Yang Yi watched—finally everything was settled.Wei Yunqing thought that it was not too late, so he asked Wen Huai to directly draft an imperial edict to finalize the matter.

Wei Yunqing was relieved when Wen Huai left with the imperial edict bearing the Emperor Zhu's approval and seal.Yan Rusong was fighting in the front, and she couldn't help him, so she could only work hard in her own way in the rear, clearing away all obstacles behind him.

"Sister Yunqing, when will you come to teach me how to govern the country?"

As soon as Wen Huai left, Yang Yi seized the time to bring up the matter that was interrupted earlier.

Wei Yun forgot about this matter early in the morning, and now he was taken aback when he mentioned it again, and then said: "I said earlier, I don't know how to govern the country, if you want to listen, why don't you go to Wen Huai, Mao Yirong and others .”

Yang Yi frowned and said angrily: "It's not that I haven't heard their lectures, but I don't know what they are talking about, I don't understand at all!"

Wei Yunqing was almost pissed off by him. If he didn't understand, he couldn't work harder. After class, he made up the lessons by himself, so as to understand what he didn't understand?So confident, how did he have such a big face?
"But sister Yunqing, I can understand everything you said!" Yang Yi added.

Wei Yunqing was silent.She worked as a tutor in college years, and teaching people is really easy, but that is mathematics and physics and other knowledge she knows. She doesn't understand the so-called way of governing the country, so how can she teach Yang Yi?Isn't that a mistake!
"Stop talking, I really can't teach you things that I don't know myself." Wei Yunqing shook his head, his attitude was quite firm.

Seeing this, Yang Yi knew that he would not be able to persuade Wei Yunqing for a while, so he felt disappointed, and murmured: "Sister Yunqing, if you don't want to teach me, how can I be a good emperor?"

Wei Yunqing's ears were sharp, and his eyes rolled in his heart - blame me?
After finally "reconciling" with Wei Yunqing, Yang Yi couldn't bear to let her go, so he dragged her to the study to read the memorial, and found two memorials for Wei Yunqing to "refer to for details".

Wei Yunqing was able to give some opinions, and some couldn't. After several times, he was tired of reading these classical Chinese texts. When Yang Yi excitedly handed over a memorial again, he said angrily: "Didn't you join hands with Zheng Xiang to prevent me from getting in touch with you?" What happened in the previous court? Now what are you showing me the memorial for? I am a woman with long hair and short knowledge, so you listened to me, didn’t you harm the country?”

Yang Yi's face became hot when Wei Yunqing said it. He had offended Wei Yunqing terribly by Zheng Xiang's words before, but he had regretted it a long time ago. Now that he was being ridiculed by her like this, he couldn't hold back his face, and said embarrassingly: "Sister Yunqing, you Don't be angry... I was wrong before..."

Seeing Yang Yi's pitiful appearance, Wei Yunqing couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted.She has been with Yang Yi for so long, and she also understands that his nature is not bad, but his ears are too soft, uninitiated and self-willed, and if the people around him have ulterior motives, he will easily go astray.She had a quarrel with him before, but now he is still the same as before. When getting along with her, he didn't put on airs of the emperor at all, and she was not untouched.

"If you promise that there will be no second time, I will forgive you this time." Wei Yunqing said.

Yang Yi nodded again and again: "Sister Yunqing, don't worry, there will definitely be no second time! From now on, I will listen to you, and I will do whatever you say!"

He thought, as long as Sister Yunqing stays in the palace, so what if she is allowed to control the government?If she likes it, she can play with it.

"That's what you said." Wei Yunqing immediately hit the snake with the stick, "Then Zheng Xiang is not a good person, why do you keep him by your side?"

"This...well, in two days I will replace him as the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies!" A moment of hesitation flashed in Yang Yi's heart, but he immediately responded.Although he regrets Zheng Xiang's suggestion, Zheng Xiang is an old man in the palace, and he still has deep trust in Zheng Xiang, but his words have already been said before, so naturally he has to listen to sister Yun Qing's words and go to Zheng Xiang position.

"Really?" Wei Yunqing didn't believe it.

Yang Yi nodded vigorously, and almost patted his chest to promise: "It's true! Once a word is said, it's hard to follow, and I'll let him go when I turn around!"

Wei Yunqing nodded with a relieved expression.Drive Zheng Xiang away from Yang Yi's side, and see what else Zheng Xiang can do!
Wei Yunqing stayed in Qianqing Palace and had dinner before returning to her Yanxi Palace. She slept soundly that night.

The next day, Cao Jun came to the Palace of Yanxi Palace openly and aboveboard. When he saw her, his expression was excited, and he boasted that Wei Yunqing had a way.Wei Yunqing casually told him that Zheng Xiang would no longer be a palm print eunuch in two days, Cao Jun was so excited that he almost fainted.This is a great thing, he thought about it day and night, but he never thought it would become reality so quickly!
Cao Jun became more and more sure that he hugged the right thigh, grinning from ear to ear, and praised Wei Yunqing fiercely, praising her like the best in the world.If Yang Yizai, who firmly believes that Wei Yunqing is a fairy, will probably continue: You are right!

There were no further twists and turns in the delivery of grain and grass. Under Yang Yi's order, none of the cabinet ministers expressed any disagreement, and the arrangements were made according to the content of the imperial edict.Soon the food transport team set off to the front line.

Just as Wei Yunqing waited hopefully for Yan Rusong, who had been supported by food and grass, to return safely from the Song army, there was a rush from eight hundred miles ahead.

——Yan Rusong fell into Song's trick to lure the enemy, and was defeated and killed in battle.
