Crossing the Nongmen: The Space of Doctor Women is on fire!

Chapter 441 Internal and external troubles
Yang Jinfan recovered quickly and was full of energy the next day. An imperial decree was issued from the palace, allowing her to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

Lan Ze was worried and followed him secretly all the way.

Huai Gujun in Yanbei was so furious when he received Feng Yiyao's letter that he wanted to return to the capital immediately.

It was nearly Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was a time of bumper harvest in the Central Plains. The Huns were gathering their troops and preparing for a large-scale attack.

At this time, the nomadic area of ​​the Huns was in the dry season. The war horses could run directly to the Central Plains on the mud, but the grass had missed its best growth period and would slowly wither. The livestock on the grassland could not get enough grass, and the herders' food would also be greatly reduced.

At the same time, it was a time of harvest in the Central Plains. The land was flat and the soil was fertile, which was much better than the nomadic areas with scarce resources and changeable climate. If the Huns did not occupy the Central Plains and rob its supplies at this time, a large number of people would die in this cold winter, and they would completely lose the ability to resist foreign invaders and be annexed by other tribes.

The eldest prince of the Xiongnu had a gloomy face as he sat in the main tent drinking boiling goat milk, without touching the meat and bones from years ago.

The deputy general reported that the young general from the Central Plains was training his troops like crazy. The soldiers from the Central Plains were suffering terribly and their morale had begun to waver. It was now a good time for them to attack.

"Don't worry. After a few fights, I found this guy to be difficult to deal with. He is much stronger than those stupid people from the Central Plains. He can still fight. Although he is inexperienced, his momentum in the army is no less than that of General Huai back then. We can't act rashly."

He was not in a hurry, but his people and livestock could not wait.

"Think again, Commander. It is almost Mid-Autumn Festival in the Central Plains. The dry season is almost halfway over. If we wait any longer, we will miss the best opportunity to attack!"

The rough-faced man sitting in the middle of the tent still looked the same, without any sign of panic or anxiety.

"After so many defeats, they still haven't learned their lesson. The Central Plains people are best at waiting for opportunities. We don't have many warriors, so we can't just charge in blindly."

His eyes were deep as he recalled the time when he and that person drank wine and ate meat with big mouthfuls. It was a period of leisure time without the disturbance of the royal family. Unfortunately...

Unfortunately, the royal family lacked an heir like him, and also underestimated the importance that the people of the Central Plains placed on bloodlines, so he could only reach out to his best friend and gain the recognition of the royal family by stepping on the bones and blood of him and the soldiers he led.

The deputy general said nothing more. The eldest prince was the most courageous and resourceful warrior in their entire tribe and the pride of the tribe. Since he said so, he must have his own plans.

Huai Gujun was also anxious. What worried him was the news brought back by Xiao Qilin, that Afan was sick and had fainted. Another thing was that Emperor Jingde had not sent any reinforcements or food supplies.

The eldest prince who led the Huns was the one who once spread rumors that the Huai family had ties with the Huns and was preparing evidence of treason. Huai Gujun pursed his lips. The other party was on guard against him, so he was reluctant to send troops, which was actually exactly what he wanted.

If the Huns sent out troops at this time, the 300,000 troops in northern Yan might not be defeated, but they would definitely suffer heavy casualties. It would not be worth it to injure 800 of your own for every 1,000 enemies you injure.

The old emperor was deliberately making things difficult for him. The previous general stationed at the border in Yanbei was his father, Huai Min'ang. Since he noticed that he was similar to a member of the Huai family, how could he be willing to let him go so easily?

"Little Qilin, when you help me deliver the letter tomorrow, tell Afan to take good care of himself. This batch of supplies to Yanbei has not been delivered yet, so Qi Lang and Lord Fan in the court have to add fuel to the fire. We must urge them to arrive."

In order to suppress the Huai family, who were so powerful that they threatened the emperor, the old emperor not only withheld food and fodder, but also summoned only his father back to the capital, imprisoned his mother in the palace, and left the Yanbei soldiers to fend for themselves in the ice and snow. Therefore, he was not sure whether history would repeat itself again.

After Yang Jinfan received the news and confirmed that he was not feeling unwell, he got on the carriage and slowly drove towards the palace.

When Emperor Jingde heard that her carriage had arrived at the palace gate, he ordered it to pass directly, and the guards at the palace gate understood the situation tacitly.

It seems that Princess Zhaohua's status in the emperor's heart is far more than that of a princess. The fact that she can pass directly through the carriage is an honor only afforded to the eldest princess.

Yang Jinfan sat in the carriage, too lazy to even open his eyes. When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he got out and walked in under the guidance of Eunuch Cao.

"The humble girl Yang Jinfan greets His Majesty. May His Majesty be well and at peace."

Hearing Yang Jinfan's voice, Emperor Jingde looked up in surprise and said, "No need to be polite! The princess is here, please take a seat. Cao Fulu will serve her a pot of Zuixianju fruit wine and snacks."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I wonder what you want me to do for you?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be thinner. Are you not used to the life in the capital? If you need anything, just tell me. I will definitely take care of it."

Yang Jinfan was slightly startled and looked up at the expression on Emperor Jingde's face. He couldn't help but wonder if there was a happy event in the palace recently. Did he seem to be in a good mood?

She had also heard that the emperor had a bad reputation, so why was he being... a little too nice to her?
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just feel palpitations and loss of appetite recently. I think it's because of the unfamiliar climate. It's nothing serious. As for your needs, Your Majesty has given me many rewards. I don't have any needs for the time being."

"That's good. The princess should pay more attention to rest. Cao Fulu, send all the bird's nests and Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse to the princess later, and let the imperial physician nourish her well."

"The slave obeys the order."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. I am terrified," Yang Jinfan was really puzzled. "I wonder why the Emperor summoned me?"

"Oh, Jizhou is seriously flooded, and a large number of refugees have poured into the capital, making it difficult for the nobles to travel. Jingzhao Yin has repeatedly reported that there are many people gathering to cause trouble in the city. How can I treat a large number of refugees in the place under my jurisdiction? I can't drive them away directly. To be honest, the treasury is empty and I can't afford so much money for disaster relief. It's difficult to resettle the refugees, and how to solve the flood in Jizhou is giving me a headache. I wonder if the princess has any solution?"

For many years, the affairs of the court have always been planned by civil servants headed by Prime Minister He. He just took a quick look at it, delegated power where necessary and approved money where necessary. Although there were criticisms from the people, he did not care.

As long as it did not delay his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, he always adhered to the policy of laissez-faire in state affairs. He killed those who spoke disobediently, those who disobeyed discipline, those who disrespected the emperor, those who had rebellious intentions, those who were too successful to be successful, and those who colluded with foreign countries. After all these killings, there were only a few people left to use.

He didn't really care, as long as he was firmly on the throne, he was relatively calm.

However, after a nationwide plague, the morale of officials was suppressed, the number of people decreased sharply, private agricultural production declined, silver flowed out of the national treasury like water, the Huns were ready to make a move, and several rebellious sons were also ambitious and coveted his throne, which made him extremely anxious.

He asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate, and they said that the only person who could solve the situation was Princess Zhaohua.
