The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1131 Meng Chang Borrows Grain

The next day, Meng Chang lost his temper in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. The country was about to perish, and the emperor should lose his temper. The ministers did not dare to speak too much. Then Meng Chang asked Prince Meng Xuanzhe to go to the front to supervise the battle. Control the armies from all walks of life.

Meng Chang hopes that all the armies can cooperate with the prince to repel the powerful enemy and jointly protect the great cause of Shu. At this time, the ministers dare not say anything else.

And then Meng Chang left Li Hao behind. I don't know what the two of them were talking about. When Li Hao came out, it was already an hour later. Li Hao's face was not very good, and Meng Chang was not there either. In the palace, but hurried out of the palace.

Meng Chang didn't bring many people with him, and he was wearing ordinary clothes. He left the palace and went directly to the west of the city. There is a place in the west of the city called Hades Fort, which has now become a place to adopt refugees.

There is another most famous place in the west of the city, that is, Guo Chengzhi's family is also here, and their family members are here. The purpose of Meng Chang's trip is here. When Meng Chang came to the gate of Guo's house, the gatekeeper People still don't let him in, this Guo family is not for anyone to enter casually.

Unexpectedly, it was Guo Chengzhi who came to greet him in person in the end. At this time, the guard at the door knew that this person was the Emperor's Majesty. He was quite frightened, but at this time, Meng Chang didn't think about it!
Guo Chengzhi welcomed Meng Chang to the main hall of his house, and still let the emperor sit in the main seat, but he is the emperor, even Guo Chengzhi, the master, would not dare to sit in the main seat in his own home, this is the etiquette system.

"Your majesty's presence would really make the fluff shine, hahaha." Guo Chengzhi didn't know what Meng Chang was doing here today. He had never come to his home like this before, so he couldn't figure out what Meng Chang was doing. intention.

"Cheng Zhi's words are off the mark. You and I grew up together and we are brothers. In the past, I was busy with state affairs, so I didn't have time to come to your mansion, and you don't want to be an official, so there are very few opportunities for us to meet. , Today I happen to have time so I came to meet my old friend, by the way, I remember that there are several northern cooks in your mansion, today I just want to taste our northern dishes, I don’t know if I have this honor."

"This is your Majesty's blessing. I will arrange it now and let the servants prepare it. Let them cook some authentic and delicious northern side dishes for Your Majesty."

Guo Chengzhi asked his servants to prepare, saying that he was cooking some authentic northern side dishes for the emperor, probably because His Majesty was homesick.

Meng Chang and the Guo family are not authentic Shu people, they are all from the north, they were all from the later Tang Dynasty before, and they can be regarded as outsiders when they come to Shu.

"Okay, okay, I haven't eaten such a small dish for a long time. It seems that I am really lucky today, and I will have a few glasses of Song wine with you later hahaha."

Meng Chang and Guo Chengzhi are reminiscing about the old days. To you, they are reminiscing about the past. They are all talking about their past, and they haven't said anything formal. Guo Chengzhi is more calm, and I won't ask if you don't tell me.

"Cheng Zhi, in fact, I came here today to ask you something, I wonder if you can help me?" Finally Meng Chang said his reason for coming, he had something to ask Guo Chengzhi.

"Hehe, Your Majesty was joking. It's okay to say what His Majesty has to say, and we are all your subjects. Your Majesty must not use the word "begging."

"Then I just said directly that our country of Shu is now in the most critical moment, and the country is also very difficult. I want to borrow tens of thousands of dans of food and grass from you to solve the urgent need. I don't know what you want Chengzhi to do?"

Guo Chengzhi was shocked when he heard this. What did Meng Chang want to do? He borrowed food from himself, and he didn't have any news that the court was short of food. What the hell was he doing?
Guo saw a lot of granaries in the Shu Kingdom, in order to hoard grain, they are also in the grain business, and they are very large, basically all of these important places have their granaries, which is well known.

"Your Majesty was joking. The Kingdom of Shu belongs to Your Majesty. Naturally, all the supplies belong to His Majesty, and they are all allocated by His Majesty. However, I still want to ask you. I don't know why Your Majesty asked you for food and grass. Could it be our Shu Kingdom?" Is there a shortage of food and grass?"

Although Guo Chengzhi didn't hold any official position, he never called himself a grassroots citizen, he always called himself a minister, which showed that he was different.

"I'm just waiting for you to ask. The country of Shu is rich and has enough food and grass, but now it's difficult. I can only borrow food from you, because it is the closest place to your Guo family's granary. Even if I mobilize food and grass from the treasury, I can't do without you." It's fast there, so I'm asking you, I wonder if you can do me such a favor?"

Meng Chang looked at Guo Chengzhi, he didn't know how Guo Chengzhi would answer, he didn't know if Guo Chengzhi would agree or not, the elders of the Guo family had kindness to the Meng family, so he didn't dare to mess around.

"Oh, I don't know which place His Majesty is talking about. Let me be prepared. If it is too far away, please forgive me for not agreeing."

Guo Chengzhi said directly, "Emperor, if you said where you want me to adjust the grain, if it is too far away, I won't say much, and just refused. I didn't expect Guo Chengzhi to dare to say such a thing."

"Cheng Zhi still has such a temperament, I will tell you that I will fight a big battle with the Song army in Mianzhou. There is your Guo family's granary there. First, I will transfer the grain and grass from your place. I will compensate the state treasury for you." you."

Meng Chang knew that if he didn't tell this matter, Guo Chengzhi would not agree to him, so Meng Chang didn't hide it, because Guo Chengzhi was such a person, and Meng Chang knew it.

"Your Majesty wants to fight the Song army here, but that is the gate of our Chengdu, so it is not very dangerous, and we may not be able to win, this..."

"Doesn't Cheng Zhi know how to fight to the death? As long as we have confidence and a strategy, these things will be fine, and I have also planned everything, so I decided to fight in Mianzhou. What is lacking now is food and grass, so let's start with it." It depends on the attitude of your Guo family."

Meng Chang did not force Guo Chengzhi either, but he was already persecuting him. The fate of the Guo family is in your hands, so you must think carefully.

At this time, Guo Chengzhi was muttering in his heart, how could this guy think of a decisive battle in Mianzhou, how could he have such courage, and judging from his appearance, he was sure of winning, judging from his confident appearance .

There must be something unusual in it, and why did he borrow food and grass from himself? Is there no such thing in Mianzhou?
