Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Your Majesty, this year's harvest from Huangzhuang has been put into storage. This year's income from Huangzhuang is nearly 20% more than last year!"

In the Imperial Garden, Zhao Jun, who had just finished eating and took his son out to eat, was walking while listening to Wang Huai'en describing the situation in the Imperial Mansion.

After listening, Zhao Jun asked: “This year’s income is more than last year, which is naturally a good thing.

But I don’t want such good things to be achieved at the expense of the people. Wang Banban, do you understand what I mean? "

Wang Huaien nodded quickly:
"Your Majesty, don't worry!

When harvesting grain this year, my servant has already given instructions to harvest no more grain according to His Majesty’s previous schedule.

The day before yesterday, my servant also personally went to the surrounding imperial village to check. Every household's granary was full of grain, and the interests of the people were definitely not harmed. "

Hearing this, Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "It's going to be winter soon. Have you prepared all the things I asked you to prepare before?"

Wang Huaien immediately said: "Cotton coats, charcoal fires and other servants needed for the winter have been prepared for Your Majesty.

It’s enough for the people of Huangzhuang to share! "

Zhao Jun nodded and immediately ordered: "As soon as it snows, we will divide it as soon as possible."

"My slave understands!"

As the imperial court's economic situation has gotten better and better over the years, Zhao Jun always asks Wang Huai'en to prepare a batch of winter supplies every winter, and when winter comes, they will be given to the people of Huangzhuang below.

Such behavior has almost become a routine.

But I don’t know how many people are now recruiting farmers from the imperial village, and they are eager to replace them with their own bodies.

Not only supplies for the winter, but also various benefits during the holidays.

Meat, fruits, sugar, salt, etc., etc... It can be said that the benefits are amazing!
In Zhao Jun's view, these farmers in Huangzhuang are his basic base.

In addition to Feiyun Trading Company, his current income relies on these farms.

In Zhao Jun's view, both Feiyun Trading Company and these farms are like state-owned enterprises to him. They are all his own people, so of course he has to be right.

Just when Zhao Jun was walking his child and wondering if he had forgotten anything, suddenly a eunuch rushed over in a panic!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Oh no! Something happened!"

This shouting immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the imperial garden. Following their gazes, the eunuch running towards him with an anxious expression was none other than the famous eunuch in the palace today, Wang Huaien, now the old eunuch. The ancestor’s godson—Wei Xian.

Seeing Wei Xian's panic, Wang Huaien's brows instantly wrinkled before Zhao Jun could say anything.

He immediately came out and yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about! Your Majesty is well! This is the palace, not the market on the East Market. How do you behave like this!"

Listening to Wang Huaien's words, Zhao Jun's slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed.

However, the expression on Wei Xian's face did not relax. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said:
"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. Something has indeed happened now!"

Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Zhao Jun's face became serious and he immediately asked: "What happened?"

Wei Xian raised his head and glanced at Wang Huaien. Seeing his look, Wang Huaien immediately stared back.

Then Wei Xian hurriedly said:
"Just now news came from the Western Region Protectorate. A few months ago, the Xiongnu, together with the Northern Turkic Royal Court and the Western Regions Gumo, Yarkand, and Xiqiemi, a total of 50,000 people, joined forces to attack the Western Region Protectorate.

The Protectorate Banchao of the Western Region Protectorate led 5,000 defenders to resist, and quickly borrowed 50,000 troops from the Tatar tribe.

However, the coalition forces were coming fiercely, and before the Tatars could receive the news, most of the territory of the Western Region Protectorate had been lost.

The 5,000 defenders resisted until only 1,000 people were left. The Imperial Guard Ban Chao was killed in the battle and is now seriously injured and unconscious.

The remaining more than a thousand defenders, led by Commander Lu Xingzhou, are relying on the city wall to defend Ankang City, but the gap in numbers is too huge and they may not be able to stand it for much longer.

According to the news that came back, when the war broke out, Lord Chaoban of the Western Region Protectorate had already used the flying eagle to send a message to ask for help.

However, the Xiongnu laid a layer of siege around the Western Region Protectorate, and even arranged for eagle shooters to keep an eye on the direction of the Protectorate to prevent any flying eagles from coming out.

The Hou Duhu Mansion sent an elite team to risk their lives to break out, and then the news came back.

Now it has been nearly half a month since the news came back!

His Majesty! The Western Region Protectorate is in danger! "When Wei Xian finished speaking, the temperature around the incident suddenly dropped.

Zhao Jun's face also became extremely ugly at this time.

It was not that he was unaware of the changes in the Xiongnu and Northern Turks.

But he didn't expect that the other party would take action so quickly.

What's even more hateful is that there are actually people who have taken refuge in the countries in the Western Regions!
Have they forgotten what happened to them when the Kushans ruled the Western Regions?
Do you really think the Huns and Turks are such good things?
And since Zhao Jun established the Xinying system using secret guards in Yunzhou County, this was the first time that a message was intercepted and took a month to be received.

This shows that the other party is well prepared. It is not until their method of transmitting the message that they can arrange the ambush of the vulture shooters, which makes the message delivery take so long.

Of the 5,000 Yunzhong troops that he had left behind in the Western Region Protectorate, only more than 1,000 were killed in the battle, and now they are relying on difficult places on the city wall.

He didn't know how many people would be left after so long.

But he knew that he was angry!

He now wants to send troops to wipe out all these monsters and monsters!

"Wang Banban!"

"The slave is here!"

"Summon all officials into the palace immediately!"

"No! This slave obeys your order!"

Wang Huaien did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took Wei Xian away to deliver the order.

After Zhao Jun sent Zhao Jian back to Kunning Palace, he hurried to Chui Gong Palace.

At this time, all the officials who had received the news had also arrived. Seeing Zhao Jun walking like the wind, he hurriedly walked into the hall, and all the officials hurriedly saluted.

"I am waiting to see your Majesty! Your Majesty, do you pay your respects?"

Zhao Jun waved his hand and replied angrily with a gloomy face: "I'm uneasy!"

When all the officials looked at each other, they heard Zhao Jun say coldly: "Just now, I received news that the Western Region Protectorate I set up in the Western Region was attacked by the Xiongnu, Northern Turks and some treasonous Western Regions!

Most of the five thousand defenders were killed in the battle, and only a thousand were left to defend the city!

What do they mean! "

Zhao Jun looked at the ministers and asked angrily.

All the officials bowed their heads, and many people were secretly shocked. They didn't know until now that the Song Dynasty still had territory in the Western Regions.

Although Zhao Jun has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Yunzhou County is still like a country within a country, and most people have limited understanding of Yunzhou County.

Not long ago, everyone learned that His Majesty was already expanding the territory when he was the prince.

But on the other side of the mountain, there is a territory no less than the six counties of the Song Dynasty.

Originally they thought this was the limit.

Unexpectedly, I heard today that His Majesty actually established the Western Region Protectorate in the Western Region.

This really surprised them.

Seeing that they were silent, Zhao Jun said himself: "They are provoking me!
Just a Huns! The Northern Turks and those treasonous people from the Western Regions actually dared to touch our Song Dynasty's land and kill our Song Dynasty people. I must make them pay the price!
Minister of the Ministry of War!

How many troops can our Song Dynasty mobilize now? "

Zhao Jun's question immediately shocked the Minister of War. Not only him, but also other officials in the court looked away.

When Your Majesty asks this question, does he want to...?
