Empress of Erzhoumu: This plot is wrong!

Chapter 79 I still have to learn to dance, what a headache
out of the palace.

Tai Shuwei raised his head and sighed.

"Old Xu, why are you so cruel?"

Ah--

"Do you think that if I didn't say that, Your Majesty wouldn't do that?"

Wen Renxu followed suit, raising his head and sighing.

"Your Majesty understands everything, I'm just being a villain."

cough cough...

Coughing again, Wen Renxu slowed down and continued.

"The point is whether you can beat it."

Tai Shuwei clenched his fists and creaked.

"Even if I risk my life, I want to fight for David."

"I'm just worried..."

"worry about what?"

"It's nothing."

Wen Renxu shook his head, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He was worried that Li Yunsheng would run away and not fight, knowing that David was short of food and grass.

However, speaking out about this worry has no meaning other than affecting morale.

Right now, he has no solution.

Winner and loser, if His Majesty were to surrender without a fight, would he be willing?
Right now, except for the affected three prefectures, the rest of the people are not short of food.

250 million shi of food is enough to support the army for four months, this is the only chance.

If you wait until winter, and there are internal and external troubles, you really can only beg for surrender from Chu State.

"I'm waiting for the news of your victory in the capital."

"must!"

However, neither Wei Wenyu nor Wen Renxu expected it.

He gave Tai Shuwei 250 million shi of grain as military rations, but he still gave Sanzhou 100 million shi privately.

……

In May, Yunzhou.

All the governors of the three states gathered here, and Tai Shuwei sat on the main seat.

Looking at the sumptuous dishes in front of him, think about the scene of starvation everywhere on the way here.

Tai Shuwei sighed.

"This table of food is enough to save many people."

He picked up the wine and drank it down.

"Each state has 33 shi of grain, let's go back to help the disaster."

The three governors heard that each state had 33 shi of grain.

The governor of Fengzhou asked cautiously.

"Prime Minister, this time I was hit hardest by the disaster in Fengzhou, shouldn't I call more as appropriate?"

Seeing someone start, the governor of Yunzhou also followed suit.

"Prime Minister, there are millions of disaster victims in Yunzhou, and 33 shi is really difficult to take care of everything."

Before Yanzhou Inspector could speak, the empty wine cup in Tai Shuwei's hand was heavy.

"Now, it's not like you don't know the price of grain, and 100 million shi is already the limit of the court.

The border war is tight, and food is also needed.

Don't worry, the imperial court is actively mobilizing food from other states, and the disaster will be overcome safely. "

The governor of Yunzhou picked up the wine cup.

"The people of Yunzhou will always remember the kindness of the prime minister from generation to generation."

Seeing this, the two people on the side immediately raised their wine cups.

"Forever remember the Prime Minister's kindness!"

Tai Shuwei drank another cup, then got up and said.

"I won't eat the food, and I have to go to the border in person.

Remember the three of you, if anyone who dares to embezzle the relief food is revealed to the truth, he will be punished! "

The three stood up at the same time and said in unison.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

After everyone left, the long history on the side asked.

"My lord, how much is left this time?"

"The current food price is three times the usual price!"

"Then leave one hundred thousand stone?"

"The year before last, Yongzhou suffered a catastrophe, and the imperial court allocated 100 million shi for disaster relief, but now it only gives us 33 shi.

Even if it's all used for disaster relief, there won't even be a splash in Yunzhou. "

The governor of Yunzhou looked at the table full of dishes.

"Leave 15 shi, and send the rest to the counties."

"I'll do it right now."

On the other side, the same scene was also staged.

"My lord, how much is left this time?"

The governor of Fengzhou was puzzled.

"How much is left of what?"

Fengzhou Changshi explained.

"My lord, you have just arrived in office, so you may not know much about it.

After the general disaster relief food comes out, the governor's office will set aside part of it, and the rest will be distributed to the counties. "

"Nonsense!" The governor of Fengzhou scolded angrily, "I will never do such a thing of corruption!"

Then, he continued to speak earnestly.

"Eating the king's salary, sharing the worries for the king, every bit of it comes from the people's fat and people's anointing.

How can I have the heart to go out and pick out a grain of food from the hungry people? "

Chang Shi on the side also said bluntly.

"My lord, even if you don't keep it, we can't distribute all the relief food."

"Why?"

"Although the prime minister is an upright official, he is no longer in the capital.

If you want to continue to ask the court for food, don't you need to go up and down? "

Seeing that he was silent, Chang Shi continued.

"This time I, Toyosu, was the hardest hit, and the victims are counting on you."

After a long silence, Toyosu governor asked.

"Then tell me, how much food do you want to keep?"

Chang Shi stretched out a hand.

"At least fifty thousand stone."

Governor Toyosu closed his eyes, shook his head and said.

"I can't stay in this officialdom, I should resign and return to the farm."

"My lord, if you resign and return to the fields, more people in Toyosu will starve to death."

……

In May, Da Chu.

The envoys of the State of Wei bowed and saluted.

"See His Majesty the Emperor!"

The empress sat on the dragon chair, condescending.

"The messenger came, why?"

"I, David, hope to re-market with your country and form an alliance forever."

Jiang Qingying glanced at the officials.

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Tobu Shangshu stood up.

"Your Majesty, there was a severe drought in the Western Zhou Dynasty and food shortages in the country of Wei. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Guo Zhui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, also stood up.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit.

I heard that at the beginning, the Wei State and the Western Zhou Dynasty also made an alliance to jointly attack our Great Chu.

Today, the Western Zhou Dynasty also abandoned Weiguo and ignored it. How could there be a permanent alliance in this world. "

Then the Minister of the Ministry of War said.

"I heard that the Prime Minister of the State of Wei, Tai Shuwei, has gone to the border. Is this to form an alliance forever? This clearly wants to start a war with me, Da Chu."

Seeing that what everyone said was almost over, Jiang Qingying looked at Li Yunsheng.

"What does Li Qing think?"

Li Yunsheng stood up and said.

"Also ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment."

After going through the process, Jiang Qingying didn't ask any more questions, of course she knew what Li Yunsheng meant.

At the beginning, the mutual market was proposed by Li Yunsheng, and then, the cancellation of the mutual market was also proposed by Li Yunsheng.

She didn't understand the mutual market at the beginning, and she didn't understand the stockpiling of grain in the capital later.

If she couldn't understand the cancellation of the mutual market this time, she would be a fool.

The envoy of the State of Wei raised a letter of credence with both hands, and immediately added.

"I, David, would like to become a country of brothers with your country, and donate 10 taels of gold and [-] pieces of leno to your country every year.

At the same time, the eldest prince of our country will enter your country as a hostage to show the sincerity of the covenant.

This is the letter of alliance written by His Majesty of our country, please read it to His Majesty the Emperor. "

Before he came, His Majesty explained that as long as the mutual market can continue, the conditions are easy to negotiate.

David is not short of money now, but food.

As for border operations, that is the last resort.

Shangguan Xuanran took the letter of alliance and presented it to Jiang Qingying.

Jiang Qingying opened the alliance letter and glanced at it.

The Great Prince of the Wei Kingdom recognized that he was the next monarch of the Wei Kingdom, and it was indeed a bit of sincerity to let him enter Chu as a hostage.

The empress sighed in her heart, after understanding all this.

She also understood how Li Yunsheng doubled the treasury's money.

Although I really don't want to dance for him, but in front of the country's righteousness...

It's just that it's a headache to learn to dance.

Jiang Qingying closed the alliance letter.

"In my opinion, the matter of the covenant is over."

My Zaifu has taken a fancy to your treasury, so how could it be possible to form an alliance.
