Drunk House

Chapter 656: Go in person (first update)

 Daliang’s treasury is not very short of money now.

 After all, in addition to officials from the First Prince's Mansion and the Second Prince's Mansion who confiscated their homes and confiscated their properties and confiscated all their properties, there was also the Northern Hebei General's Mansion that ransacked their homes and contributed to filling the national treasury.

 Although it is difficult to prepare food and grass in winter, it is not a big problem.

Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor and said, "Father, no matter what, we have to save Nanchu. Now if we send reinforcements to Nanchu, it would be better to take the opportunity to attack Wei."

The emperor acknowledged this and nodded, "The old Lord Protector is old after all. Although Su Xingze has great talents, he is not a military general after all."

"I plan to go there in person, and Zhou Wei, the eldest son of the Protector's Palace, will be with me." Yan echoed, "I will leave the supervision of the food and grass matters to my fourth brother and Xie Lin. My father is in good health, and he is in charge of the government. He is stable." It’s the court.”

The emperor took a breath and said, "No, you are the prince, how can you take risks?"

Yan echoed: "Father, if the Crown Prince Yuan Zhao of the Wei Dynasty can take risks, then my sons and ministers can take risks."

 The emperor choked.

Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor, "Father, I will take away all the personal guards. Don't worry. Only if I go there in person can I control the frontline war at any time, observe the situation in Wei and Southern Chu, and adapt accordingly. I live in the capital, far away from Nan Chu. Chu and Wei are both too far away, so sending messages back and forth is really inconvenient and wastes good opportunities."

The emperor said: "There are still two months until next spring. Can you come back in time? You also know that I have asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare. I will take the throne and you will ascend the throne."

Yan Hui smiled and said, "Father, you are at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, so what's the harm in reigning for a longer time? If Nanchu does not exist, how can the main beam be erected?"

 The emperor also understood this truth and sighed deeply, "That's fine!"

Seeing the emperor's promise, Yan Huisheng stood up and said, "Then summon the courtiers and discuss matters overnight! I will leave early tomorrow morning."

The emperor nodded and stood up, "Let's go!"

The queen had been silent for a long time. Now seeing that the father and son were about to leave without eating, she opened her mouth, but she did not say anything about taking a bite of food before going to discuss matters. The situation was urgent, and she could see Yan Huisheng's urgency.

So, that night, the emperor and the prince convened the courtiers to discuss matters overnight. When the courtiers heard that the prince was going to personally lead troops to the border city to attack the Wei Dynasty, they were all shocked. Some old ministers quickly dissuaded him, saying that even if they attack the Wei Dynasty, there is no need for the prince to personally attack the Wei Dynasty. To take risks.

The fourth prince Yan Shen even directly asked for orders, saying that he would ask the emperor to stay in the capital. He would go to the border town and would definitely cooperate with the old protector to launch a war against the Wei Dynasty.

 Xie Lin also asked for orders, saying that he could go with the fourth prince. His Royal Highness, it is better to stay in the capital!

Everyone's objections were dismissed by Yan Huisheng. He made up his mind and analyzed the pros and cons with everyone. In the end, the courtiers saw the prince's determination to go in person, and the objections gradually disappeared.

 King Ruian did not object, but made one point, saying that Xie Lin should follow the Crown Prince to the battlefield. He would be in the capital and could supervise the food and grass management.

Xie Lin also nodded repeatedly and said back to Yan: "Your Highness, don't just look at the skills of the three-legged cat. I can't beat Zhou Gu, but I am not a waste. My father is in Beijing to supervise the food and grass management. I If you follow the prince there, you can also help him handle some military matters."

Zhou Gu once exposed Xie Lin's old background and said that Ruian Prince's Palace was started by bandits. In fact, he was right. Ruian Prince Palace was able to be granted the title of king of the opposite **** because he conquered the world with Taizu on horseback. Xie Lin's military book is not a blank slate. One picture is all it takes to get a lot of brain power.

Yan nodded in response, "That's fine." Xie Lin was overjoyed.

Lu Fengyan also asked for orders, saying that he had also studied the military book and was willing to follow the prince to the battlefield. Although he could not kill the enemy in battle as well as the generals, he was not a weak scholar either.

Yan Huisheng also nodded.

When Zhao Shu and other young courtiers saw that both of them had been approved by His Highness the Crown Prince, they became enthusiastic and asked for orders one after another. Yan Huisheng looked at everyone and picked Jiang Xing and Chen Zhou, while the others stayed in the capital.

After leaving the meeting hall, Zhao Shu chased after Yan Huisheng, "Your Highness, why did you only order Jiang Xing and Chenzhou and leave the generals behind? I have also studied military books."

He has a good relationship with Lu Fengyan. Lu Fengyan is willing to go out of his way, and he is also able to go out and follow him to the battlefield.

Yan Huisheng laughed and said: "Gu chose Jiang Xing and Chen Zhou because Su Xingze once told Gu that when Jiang Xing was young, he studied the art of war with him and had great insights, and now he is serving in the Ministry of War, and Chen Zhou, When serving in the Ministry of Household Affairs, if military supplies are insufficient and the orphan needs money donated by his maternal ancestors nearby, he must be brought along."

“My family is also rich and can donate money.” Zhao Shu said, “Your Highness, I also serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs.”

Yan nodded in response, "So, I can't take you all away, I have to stay together in the court to raise money for you."

 Zhao Shu was discouraged, "Okay!"

Yan Huisheng smiled and patted his shoulder, "Besides, you have a better temper than Chen Zhou and are better at dealing with people. After Gu leaves, you will be connected with King Ruian, the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the Ministry of Revenue, and the front line. You are more suitable to stay than Chen Zhou." Capital City.”

Zhao Shu was embarrassed by the praise and nodded, "Okay! I obey."

Jiang Xing and Chen Zhou came out of the back of the meeting hall. They were both in heavy moods, not because they were about to start a war with the Wei Dynasty, but because they were worried about Su Rong.

Who would have thought that the Wei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao would bring 800,000 troops to attack Nanchu? No matter how capable Su Rong and Zhou Gu were, they would not be able to cope with the huge disparity of 300,000 troops, right?

The two of them walked out of the palace and were not in a hurry to go back to the house to pack their bags. They unanimously decided to take a trip to Dongsi Hutong together.

Since Su Rong left, the eldest lady has only received two letters from her. One was written to her after she went to Northern Hebei and met Su Xingze, and the other was written by her in Nanchu before entering Nanchu. Written by Chu Bianjie, now two months have passed and there has been no more letter.

The eldest lady was worried every day and went to the Protector's Palace once. Princess Sheng'an said that Zhou Gudu had not written for three months and she could not get any news from the Protector's Palace. She could only wait patiently at home. Every day I sent people to ask about the inn, but I was disappointed every day.

A few days ago, she heard that the old Protector had left Beijing for the border of Wei Dynasty, and she always felt uneasy. It was already dark today, but she couldn't sleep. Her grandma tried to persuade her several times, but she waved her hand and said, "I can't sleep." "

Jiang Xing and Chen Zhou came to Dongsi Hutong and ordered someone to knock on the door. They later realized that it was not good to disturb Aunt Su in the middle of the night, but they would leave early tomorrow morning for Northern Hebei. We can't come back tomorrow morning, just in case Aunt Su wants to bring something or say something to Brother Xingze.

The gatekeeper quickly went inside to report. When the eldest lady heard that Jiang Xing and Chen Zhou were coming, she hurriedly welcomed them out personally.

Jiang Xing and Chen Zhou didn't expect the eldest lady to come out to see them so soon, and they were both surprised, "Aunt Su, you haven't gone to bed yet?"
