XXXII. Defeat

Feng Shuyuan endured the dry pain in her throat with difficulty, and asked sullenly, "What can the princess have?" ”

She is a princess of gold and dignity, and the mistakes are all someone else's, where can she be wrong, even if there is not, it is someone else's.

Thinking of this, she felt more and more uncomfortable, and cried even more.

Mama Wang said in a low voice: "No, Your Highness......." She paused and lowered her voice: "There is news from the palace that Princess Yonghe went out of the palace to cultivate in front of the Buddha and pray for the blessing of the saint." ”

Feng Shuyuan suddenly lifted the quilt and asked with a shocked face, "Really?" ”

How so?

Of course, she knew what it meant to go out of the palace to cultivate.

But could it be that even Princess Yonghe was punished so severely?

Yes, definitely.

Something happened yesterday, and I went out of the palace today, not to be punished.

But.....

Feng Shuyuan shuddered.

How did Guardforce have such a skill?

How did she do it, how did she make Princess Yonghe be punished so heavily?

When Mama Wang saw that she was willing to come out, she said, "Now everyone is talking about it." ”

There will definitely be a lot of discussions, Princess Yonghe insisted in front of Mrs. Ping'an Hou and others that Wei An pushed her off the horse, but after returning to the palace, there was news that Gong Yonghe was going to Qing Xiu, and Wei An was safe and sound.

Anyone with a bit of a brain can guess what's going on.

She hung her head and didn't speak, and for a moment she had mixed emotions in her heart.

Mama Wang sighed again: "This time the girl offended the Wei family badly, do you want to give some gifts......

Feng Shuyuan's brain quickly turned, and she waved her hand and shook her head categorically: "No need, I don't look down on Wei An's actions, and everyone has seen it, and now when we go to give gifts, people will only look down on us even more and think that we have no backbone." Now that you have become an enemy, giving some gifts will not change this, and there is no need to do useless work. ”

Mama Wang saw that she had finally regained some anger, so she was a little relieved: "It's just ......"

No, just.

Feng Shuyuan recovered from the blow and sadness, although her eyes were still red and swollen, they were no longer as dark and unknown as before, and she paused and said, "We all know that Concubine Peng De has a part in letting us keep Wei An, and Wei An himself knows it." If the Wei family wants to hate us, they should hate Concubine Peng De together. The Wei family knows this, and Concubine Peng also knows it. What is going on with the Wei family, Concubine Peng Defei doesn't care, but she won't let go of the Wei family. ”

Since there is still Concubine Peng De in the way, what is she afraid of?

It's just that we can't clash with Guardforce head-on anymore.

She paused, suddenly looked up at Mama Wang, thought for a while, and said, "It's not that you can't give gifts, you let your sister-in-law prepare and give some gifts separately without the Chen family and the Wei family." ”

Mama Wang didn't understand, but she still did as she was told.

At this time, no one in the Wei family cared about this matter.

When the news of Princess Yonghe's Qingxiu came back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, although he had guessed that Emperor Longqing would not do anything to them before, he was always a little worried in his heart.

Now that the disposition of Princess Yonghe has come down, they are completely relieved.

Not only that, but the palace also sent someone to send a reward, saying that Princess Yonghe had fallen a little hard at that time, so she didn't see it and misunderstood Wei An.

Everyone knew what the truth was, but they didn't say much, they just sent the angel away with a thousand thanks.

Originally, everyone was concerned about how things would be handled after the polo match, but when the results came out today, they didn't make too many waves.

Because compared to the princess being punished, there was an even more earth-shattering news coming back----- Zhejiang was defeated, and Taizhou General Wen Zhiyong died in Cixi with his 4,000 soldiers.

And the Japanese are just more than a thousand people.

The results of this battle were transmitted back to the capital, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

The imperial historians sharpened their knives and Huo Huo began to participate in the incompetence of the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, the corruption of Zhejiang officialdom, and the annexation of Tunjuntian by the wealthy families so that a large number of deserters appeared.

Emperor Longqing ordered Zhejiang to resist the enemy in an all-round way, and ordered that if the Japanese invaders in Cixi could not be cleared within a month, all the following generals would be dismissed.

But this does not solve the fundamental problem.

Jiang Zining shook his head in the cabinet, and after sighing countless times, he said the root cause of the defeat: "There is no money." ”0

The fighters can't eat enough, what are they talking about fighting?

Xue Ziming had a calm face: "I heard the news, the governor of Zhejiang went to borrow grain from Liu Biping." ”

Jiang Zining and everyone looked at him: "What did Liu Biping say?" ”

Xue Ziming sneered: "What else can I say, naturally I am crying poor, saying that I want to ask the court for instructions, and the excerpts have already been sent." ”

He gave it to Jiang Zining with both hands.

Jiang Zining unfolded it and looked at it, then handed it to Qian Shiyun again, and said: "There is no fear, this is no fear!" ”

Liu Biping said very clearly that with the current situation in Fujian, if the grain is lent to Zhejiang, the tax will not be paid next year.

In the final analysis, he is still doing favors with the things of the imperial court.

On the one hand, he said that the situation in Fujian was bad, saying that Fujian's ports had been drastically reduced due to the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and that Fujian was not a rich place in the first place, and it was already difficult to pay full taxes every year.

was greedy for so much silver, and wanted to be greedy for more, so he was ready to let the court give an order, he lent grain to Zhejiang, and he used the guise of lending grain to Zhejiang, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, and filling his own pockets.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yushi suddenly asked, "I don't know where Pingxihou has been now?" ”

Shen Chen is in a hurry, and it usually takes a month to go to Fujian, but the deadline given to Shen Chen by the imperial court is half a month.

In other words, Shen Chen's rest time is extremely limited, and he has to travel day and night in order to arrive in Fujian in time.

Now Shen Chen has been on set off for four days.

Xu Anying glanced at Chen Yushi and said, "Even if the Marquis of Pingxi has wings, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Fujian immediately." What's more, even if he arrived, it would not be an overnight matter to raise these silver and force Liu Biping to take out the silver. ”

"That's not what I meant." Chen Yushi was blunt, looked at them, and slowly reminded: "I mean, Hou Ye has been off for four days, but what's abnormal?" ”

Everyone reacted to the meaning of Chen Yushi's words, and they didn't speak for a while.

"Speaking of which......" Xu Anying nodded on the table, and the whole person's face became solemn: "It seems that it is indeed a little strange, it seems that I have not received the news......"

Could it be that Liu Biping is really so bold?!
