The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 645 The General Goes South (2)
The emperor has stopped the morning court due to his health, and only sees a few auxiliary ministers in Zichen Hall every day.The emperor had just presided over the palace examination yesterday, and he was obviously not in good spirits after a day of exhaustion. When Lord Zhen Guo came, the emperor was leaning on the couch and listening to Yao Yuanzhi's talk about the Qionglin Banquet.

Huai En came in and said that Duke Zhen had something important to see His Majesty.The emperor raised his hand to stop Yao Yuanzhi's words, and sighed softly: "Yao Aiqing can figure out what to do about the Qionglin Banquet, I'm really out of energy. What should I do with these newly elected people this year? Yao Aiqing draws up a list and shows it to me later."

Yao Yuanzhi bowed and agreed, and the emperor told Huai En: "Mr. Xuan Guo, come in."

After Zhen Guogong entered the palace, he made a big salute. The emperor opened his eyes and sat up straight, sighing: "Get up, you are also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. What is it that makes your face so ugly?"

"Back to the emperor, Huguang... is in chaos." Lord Zhen Guo said, holding Han Yuge's letter with both hands.

"What?" The emperor thought he had heard wrong.

"In Hanyang Prefecture, Anlu Prefecture, Wuchang Prefecture and other places, the price of grain has increased by more than ten times because of the three daily price changes. The grain merchants have closed their warehouses and waited for the price to rise. The common people cannot buy grain and eat. There are already countless people. There was a looting incident in the county, and rioters in Qianzhou set fire to the government’s granary.” Zhen Guogong said, and sent the letter, “This is Suzhi’s letter, which was written five days ago. To this day, We don't know what happened to Huguang."

"Bastard!" The emperor's face was ashen, and he raised his hand and overturned the little table at hand: "What is Gu Yuntong doing?! He just ignored something when he was a third-rank official?! Why did such a big thing happen in a row? The memorial is gone? Are all the officials in Huguang dead! "

The Duke of Zhen had no choice but to destroy the post station south of the Han River in Huguang again by the rioters, the horses were killed, the guards of the post station were injured, and they fled. Everything was told to the emperor.

The emperor's face was livid with anger, he leaned on the dragon bed and did not speak for a long time.Yao Yuanzhi stood by and heard all the words of Lord Zhen Guo. His shrewd head spun quickly, and he quickly made a judgment, and clapped his hands back: "Your Majesty, there is something very strange about this matter. My Dayun Dynasty The merchants in China have always been timid, and they would never dare to openly oppose the government without someone supporting them from behind."

"I know." The emperor clenched his skinny hands into fists, and said bitterly, "That rebel won't let me go until he pissed me off! He is my debt collector!"

As the prince was involved, Yao Yuanzhi naturally couldn't say much.

Lord Zhen Guo sighed, and replied: "The eldest prince may have been bewitched by someone. In order to see the emperor, it is better to ask the eldest prince to return to Beijing and question him face to face, so as to avoid misunderstanding between father and son."

"Hmph, what a misunderstanding! He clearly thought I died too slowly!" The emperor turned his eyes and looked at Wynn sharply: "Where's Wei Zhang?!"

"Return to the emperor, General Wei did not enter the palace today."

"Send him to see me!"

"Follow the order." Wynn bowed to accept the order and ran out in a hurry, calling for horses to be prepared, and then hurried to the Fuguo General's Mansion.

The Fuguo General's Mansion is not far from the palace, and Wynn went there as fast as he could and came back quickly.

At that time, Wei Zhang was discussing matters with several adults in the Ministry of War in the study room. Hearing that the emperor made an urgent move, he left everyone behind and followed Huai En into the palace.

Seeing that Wei Zhang didn't talk nonsense, the emperor directly issued an order: "Take your people to Huguang. If there are not enough people, I will send the troops of Wu Shao'an in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to you. I only want you to escort Yun Jin back to the capital!" "

"Yes, I would like to obey the imperial edict." Wei Zhang kowtowed to receive the order.

Coming out of Zichen Palace, Wei Zhangfang asked Duke Zhen: "What's wrong with the First Prince?"

Duke Zhen showed Han Yuge's letter to Wei Zhang again, and Wei Zhang broke out in a cold sweat after reading it: "Yanyu is in Huzhou!"

"My lady is with the princess, and there are two thousand Jinlin guards to protect me. It shouldn't be a problem. The target of those rioters is the granary, and they shouldn't be able to mess with them. However, it's hard to say if the disturbance becomes big this time." Township The Duke sighed worriedly, "Although you and Su Zhi have made countless military achievements, they have never dealt with ordinary people. The people in Huguang were provoked by others. After all, they are not foreign barbarians, let alone enemies of my Dayun Dynasty." .When you go there, you have to act with discretion, and you must not rush in."

Wei Zhang cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Grandpa Xie taught me."

Yao Yuanzhi sighed, and said: "Although the key to Huguang at this time is not food, food is the key to solving this problem. How about this, I will write a letter to Jiang Ning, and ask your uncle to help you think of a solution. "

After hearing this, Lord Zhen laughed and said: "Master Yao is really wise. To appease those disorderly people, it really depends on food. Nowadays, all the food in Huguang is in the hands of those unscrupulous merchants, and the people have no food to eat." Make trouble, if there is food to eat, who would like to join in the fun."

Wei Zhang also cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Father-in-law, for your thoughtfulness."

"I just want you to bring Yan Yu back safely." After Yao Yuanzhi finished speaking, he sighed deeply, "Hey!"

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will bring her back safely." Wei Zhang hurriedly bowed in response.

"Well, I can trust you." Yao Yuanzhi nodded.

After Wei Zhang received the imperial decree, he summoned all the active forces under him without hesitation. He Xi stayed behind, Tang Xiaoyi, Ge Hai, and Zhao Dafeng accompanied him. , and the rest will follow here to Huguang.

Because the number of this team is small, it is easy to move.Wei Zhang handed Yao Yuanzhi's handwritten letter to Tang Xiaoyi, ordering him to go to Jiangning with the imperial decree to dispatch troops. Yao Yuanzhi said that there were still 20 shi of grain in the grain depot in his hometown, and asked Yao Yanen to take it all out and ship it to Jiangning. Go to Huzhou.The 20 shi grain is the key, so Wei Zhang asked Tang Xiaoyi to transfer Wu Shaoan's navy and grain to Huzhou, and he himself took his fierce soldiers from Yundu to Hanyang Mansion by land, to be exact It is Huzhou County, Hanyang Prefecture.

Once Wei Zhang leaves Beijing, he will pretend to be Yao Yanyu in his heart.Of course, he also has things in his mind about the chaos, but his purpose is obvious, no matter what the chaos is or what the eldest prince is, these are just tasks for him, and the woman he has been thinking about is his life.This time he went south, he must protect his own life in his arms first.

While Wei Zhang was traveling on a starry night, Yao Yanyu was fiddling with dozens of herbs in the green mountains and green waters, tasting, comparing, recording, decocting, refining, and recording again.The chaos outside seems to have nothing to do with her, she is completely immersed in her medicine kingdom without knowing the cold and heat.

A sound of hoofbeats disrupted the silence of the bamboo forest, and a black figure jumped off the horse, his figure like a swimming dragon.

"The princess is back!" Xiang Ru was picking herbs with a bamboo stick in her hand, and when she saw the visitor, she hurriedly blessed her body and saluted.
