Chapter 451: Defeated

The spring breeze was blowing. Today was a rare good weather. Ye Qingmei put on a strong outfit and removed the complicated headdress. His hair was rolled up high, and there was no broken hair, making him look delicate and capable.
The maid knew that their mothers hadn't practiced their skills for many days, and her heart was itching again, and she said: "Mother, our Lingyu Palace is about to become your martial arts venue."
She is the younger sister of General Shanhe. After taking care of the door, she liked to fight and kill since she was a child. She entered this palace and didn't speculate with the women who only studied intrigue. She was still clean in this Lingyu Palace.
Today, it seems to be a little different from usual. Ye Qingmei only practiced a set of swordsmanship, and when he heard the sound coming from the door, Feng Xuanche clapped his hands and said: "It's better to hear than to see. After Ai concubine is worthy of being a general, she is very skilled. "
"Just laughed, why does the emperor have time to come to my Lingyu Palace today?" He handed the sword to the maid and put it away. Ye Qingmei took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then he saluted Feng Xuanche. .
It can be said that the water comes out of hibiscus, and Ye Qing's eyebrows are not applied with powder, but his face is like a peach blossom, and his outfit is even more beautiful.
Feng Xuanche didn't go around the corner, and said straightforwardly: "Concubine De, I order you to thoroughly investigate the witchcraft matter and clear the queen's grievances."
"Is the emperor so sure that the empress was wronged?" Concubine Defei had guessed that Feng Xuanche would come to her, but she was not surprised, so she asked with a smile.
Feng Xuanche didn't say anything about this, just looking at his expression, he knew that he trusted Du Xuechun extremely.
Passing the token around his waist to Ye Qingmei, Feng Xuan said solemnly, "No matter who is in trouble, he will be punished severely. If you have martial arts, leave it to you. I also feel relieved and must pay attention to safety."
Taking this well-made token into his hand, he squeezed, Ye Qing brows and the corner of his mouth twitched lightly, and said: "The concubine abides by the decree."
After explaining this, Feng Xuanche did not stay much in Lingyu Palace. There are still a lot of memorials in the Imperial Study Room that have not been corrected. When the emperor is so relaxed, he will go to the morning before dawn every day, lighting and boiling oil. It's even more common, and it's really uneasy for a moment.
"Go and summon Xue Ning into the palace." Feng Xuanche solemnly ordered Guo Yuanqing, who was on the side, to leave the matter to Concubine De to deal with it. Feng Xuanche would not be relieved. Xue Ning had to do this.
Not long after, Xue Ning hurried to the Imperial Study Room. He probably knew what Feng Xuanche was looking for, so he spoke first, saying: "The minister has already found two female disciples in the Shuiyue Pavilion, only waiting for an order from the emperor. Then you can get into the palace and investigate the matter secretly, presumably the emperor has already found the concubine De, and you will be able to get the person out in the dark."
"You can do things without worry." Feng Xuanche nodded, satisfied with Xue Ning's arrangement.
After saying this, Feng Xuan Che waved his hand to signal him to retreat, but Xue Ning did not leave, and handed a letter to Feng Xuan Che with a heavy face.
"People on the front line handed over news that the war in the Northwest has been deadlocked for so long, and the supply of food and grass is scarce. If it is not refilled in time, General Shanhe is afraid that he will not be able to hold it."
Shuiyue Pavilion has a unique method of delivering news, which is a few days longer than that of General Shanhe's men to send news into the city.
If the people learn that the border crossing is going to be unbearable, it may cause panic and it will be detrimental to Dashun. It is only now that the cold winter has passed, and the new grain is not mature. At this time, taxes will be imposed again, and the people will complain.
But if we do not replenish food and grass in time, what will happen to the soldiers in the northwest who have worked so hard to defend their homes and nations.
"You go to send news to the four great families in the capital, and I want to see them."
For this plan, I can only ask the family for help.
Xue Ning then turned around and left. The family has never participated in court affairs, and the family favors agriculture and business. Although the family sounds good, they are only merchants.
Now that the border is in a hurry, Feng Xuanche can't take care of this anymore. The most important thing is to bless the catastrophe.
When discussing this matter with Du Xuechun in the evening, Du Xuechun also nodded in agreement. After all, the family is strong, and they are the people of Dashun, so they must be willing to contribute their strength to Dashun.
"Speaking of which, a few days ago, a concubine had accidentally saved a person. This person happened to be Chu Junhe, the prince of the Chu family among the four great families." Du Xuechun did not hide it from Feng Xuan. In her opinion, they There is nothing that cannot be said between the two.
Hearing Du Xuechun mentioned that Feng Xuanche somehow suddenly let go of the heart that had been hanging slightly today. How could he be stunned, and he would be suspicious.
"Sorry, Chun'er, Xue Ning actually mentioned this matter to me, and I lost my temper like that." Feng Xuan was a little unsure on his face, refusing to look at Du Xuechun's face.
Du Xuechun, who listened to the side, snorted and laughed, pinching his chin, moving a little frivolously, and said: "Why, is it possible that the emperor is jealous? I don't even know that the emperor has lost his temper for this."
The two laughed a lot, and Feng Xuan Che was completely relieved now. After all, her Chun'er is so good, and he is naturally awkward when he knows someone he doesn't know.
"The emperor should know that his concubine used to study under Poison mother, and it's a coincidence that the master also rescued the Chu son." Du Xuechun told Feng Xuanche about the cause of the matter, and he didn't know how much he listened to it. , With Chu Junhe in the middle, the feasibility of this plan has improved a bit.
"My Chun'er is really Dashun's lucky star." Feng Xuanche squeezed Du Xuechun's nose and said with a face of dozing.
Fuxing was not counted, it was just a coincidence, and the plan was temporarily finalized, and the two hugged each other to sleep.
However, the plan never matched the change. Before Feng Xuan Che had met with the four great families, the frontline quickly spread the report.
"Report—"
"The Hus attacked our soldiers and horses at night, and half of the food and grass on the front line was burned. General Shanhe attacked with his troops and was caught in the enemy's trap. Our side lost 3,000 soldiers and horses. The battle was fierce!"
"This... how could this happen."
Chaotang was in chaos for a while, Feng Xuanche patted the table with a headache and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Du Heng bowed and said: "The emperor, the war in the Northwest has been stalemate. Our side has never lost such a tragic loss. For the sake of this plan, we can only find a way to raise grain and grass and transport it to the front as soon as possible."
"How much grain and grass can you take out now?" Feng Xuanche gently tapped his fingers on the table and asked solemnly.
The household servant Li Zhongxiang was about to squeeze his face together, and said with embarrassment: "The emperor, the Hu people harass the border of Dashun in every way. Last year, the harvest of Dashun was not good. Now the national treasury is in short supply. Very few."
It seems that we must get in touch with the family as soon as possible in order to solve the danger of Dashun. Feng Xuan sighed silently, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Du Heng's expression in the imperial front. He seemed to be thinking something. Feng Xuan squinted his eyes. This old fox, Certainly nothing good was planned.
"Leave the court, go back and find a way for me." Feng Xuanche waved his hand distractedly.
