Chapter 295

When he came, Ning Chen had just finished seeing the minister.

I was also anxious about the military salary. After discussing it for a while, they all went back to find a way.

Hearing that Ye Yun came, Ning Chen frowned, "Tell Ming Xiuyi that I will find a way to send the military salary, and tell her not to worry about General Ye's safety."

This means that they don't intend to meet, after all, they only need to rest for a while, and they have to meet the next wave of ministers.

Huai'an, who sent the message, said, "Ming Xiuyi said that she didn't come to ask about General Ye's situation, but about the military salary. She has some ideas to share with the emperor."

After saying this, Huai'an was very nervous.

It is an ancestor's rule that the harem should not interfere in politics, but Ming Xiuyi begged to come over. He has been taken care of by Ming Xiuyi for many years, and he couldn't help but open his mouth.

It's really embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Ning Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Let her in."

Huai'an thought he heard it wrong, he was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and hurriedly went out to invite someone.

When Ye Yun came in, all the servants in the room retreated sensibly.

Only two people were left inside.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor. Although the concubine is not allowed to say this, on the one hand, the concubine wants to share the emperor's worries, and on the other hand, he is worried about his brother, so he dared to risk his life to say it."

"Get up." Ning Chen glanced at her and waved his hands.

After Ye Yun stood up, she whispered again.

"Am I such a pedantic person? You have a good idea, and it's not like I haven't adopted it. In the current situation, you can just say that if it is useful, it is also your credit."

Hearing this, Ye Yun didn't relax a bit, and once again became positive.

"In the past, the emperor always asked first, and the concubine spoke later. This time, the concubine took the initiative to say it. It is different after all, but the matter is of great importance. Even if the emperor wants to beheaded, the concubine has to try."

"Nonsense." Ning Chen frowned, stepped forward with a sigh, and held him back, "You are all mothers, why are you still talking about death? Tell me, I don't know." Blame you."

If it was said that Ning Chen still cared a little earlier, now he has completely let go.

Ye Yun just opened his mouth.

"According to my concubine, waiting for the military rations from the capital to arrive will definitely not work, and the fastest way is to transfer rations from a few counties near Lingzhou."

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but now in July and August, the rice, wheat, and soybeans in the north are either not yet mature, or they are still not harvested in the fields. The granaries in various places are handed over to the imperial court once a year. Now they are eaten. After half a year, there is not much left, and we still have to wait for the autumn harvest to have food."

Ning Chen's face was troubled, his brows were tightly frowned, and his whole body showed a sense of powerlessness.

But what Ye Yun said in the next second revived him.

"The government has no food, but the people and merchants must have food in stock. The emperor can borrow food from the people for emergencies, and an additional [-] to [-]% will be returned to the people. Now that the country is facing a crisis, the people will definitely be willing to borrow. If Lingzhou runs out of food and falls , the Liao army broke into Nanqi, who can survive alone."

"It's good to borrow food. The nearest prefectures and counties can raise a lot in a day or two, and they can be shipped quickly." Ning Chen's eyes lit up a little.

Because Nanqi's national treasury is abundant and there is no shortage of food, everyone's thinking is how to quickly transport the food to Lingzhou, and never thought of borrowing first and then paying back.

"Let me discuss this matter with the ministers. You go back first. Don't worry too much about things outside. Your brother will be safe."

Ning Chen squeezed Ye Yun's hand, and started to think about the proposal just now.

"The concubine has one more thing to report to the emperor." Ye Yun suddenly continued.

Seeing her serious expression, Ning Chen frowned, "Speak."

This time, Ye Yun knelt down first.

Before Ning Chen came to pull her, he kowtowed, and finally said seriously.

"Chenqie's father died on the battlefield, and Chenqie only has one older brother. When the war broke out, I was extremely worried. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and injuries are inevitable. This is something that Chenqie can't control, but the rear With support, the concubine can still contribute."

"The concubine can trust the emperor, but not the Yao family, so I wrote a letter early in the morning, asking my grandfather to find a way to send all the food stored in the family to the border of Lingzhou. If there is a shortage of military pay, I can support it for a day or two. Nature is the best."

"The concubine does not want to keep this matter from the emperor. The concubine trusts the emperor, and I hope the emperor trusts the concubine."

It is a very dangerous thing to supply the army without permission.

Firstly, the Chu family is an imperial merchant, so it will inevitably make people suspect that the Chu family used the country's food to subsidize Ye Zhe privately, and secondly, it will easily make people think.

Your Chu family can secretly provide food and grass now, will you be able to provide other things in the future? Is the military power held by Ye Zhe safe?

Looking at Ye Yun kneeling on the ground, Ning Chen felt complicated.

It's true that he dotes on Ye Yun, but he is the emperor after all, and he has to think about the country and society of the Ning family.

It's just that Ye Yun told him so frankly, which made him feel different feelings in his heart.

What is the feeling of friendship and mutual trust?

But at this moment, Ning Chen didn't say any words of forgiveness or incomprehension after all, his mind was too messy.

"I know, you go back first, don't make any noise about this matter, and you are not allowed to mess around anymore, I have my own plan for everything."

"The concubine obeys the order. The emperor is busy, so he must cherish his body." Ye Yun stood up, blessed his body, and said softly.

While speaking, he raised his eyes to glance over Ning Chen's face, then lowered his eyes very quickly.

But even so, Ning Chen still caught a hint of loneliness and worry in the woman's eyes.

The moment Ye Yun walked to the gate of the palace and was about to step over the threshold, Ning Chen finally couldn't bear it.

He said coldly, "Go back and have a good rest, don't think wildly."

Although the voice was deep and cold, Ye Yun felt a little relieved.

Turning her head, she smiled at Ning Chen, her beautiful eyes were as bright as a deer.

She bowed towards the inside, her eyes met, but she didn't say anything.

The servants waiting outside were also relieved to see her look relaxed.

Now that the emperor is feeling irritable, no one dares to be careless.

On the way back, Nan Zhi lowered her voice and said, "Xiu Yi, did the Emperor hear what you mean?"

"The harem is not allowed to meddle in politics. What's the point of being a concubine? Everything is the emperor's idea." Ye Yun said lightly.

Nan Zhi's complexion changed, she hurriedly lowered her head, "Your maidservant made a slip of the tongue."

Ye Yun waved his hand, "Okay, I don't blame you, go back quickly, this matter, you are not allowed to mention a word after leaving Jiuchen Palace."

It's no joke that the harem interferes in politics.

At this end, what Ye Yun should do is already done, and the rest depends on how Ning Chen arranges.

It has never been an easy task to deal with the courtiers.

When the ministers heard that they wanted to borrow food from the people, there were indeed several voices of opposition.
