Chapter 427 The Intention Behind

Chang'an, Imperial Palace

At the grand court meeting, the seats belonging to Zhang Xian and Zuo Anmin were empty.

In the court, looking at the two empty seats, the ministers knew that Zhang Xian and Zuo Anmin had given up their job.

The ministers were extremely regretful that the two had learned their lesson and stopped fighting each other, otherwise the difficult task of the Yanmen snow disaster could still be handed over to them.

Song Mo's attitude towards Zhang Xian and Zuo Anmin's leave was, "Let the imperial physician in the palace go and see them."

The officials in the court knew that the matter did not involve the two.

"My dear ministers, let's all discuss the two issues of the Yanmen snow disaster and the Wuhuan invasion of the northern border."

The court officials looked at each other. In fact, after all the discussions, they needed to solve the problem of food, clothing and housing for the people affected by the disaster in Yanmen, and also ensure the food, grass, armor and heating of the soldiers in the northern border. In the end, these would not fall on money and food supplies, right?

As the ministers expected, the court officials finally looked at the treasury.

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty." Wu Chunyu was the first to cry.

Song Mo rubbed his forehead. If he had known earlier, he would not have held a grand wedding. Now that the money has been spent, it cannot be recovered.

But he knew that Wu Chunyu could not be blamed for this. Although he was the Minister of Finance, he did not live within his means. When the treasury was not abundant, he did not persuade him to hold a grand wedding.

And he acquiesced to the grand wedding of the emperor and empress. His previous coronation ceremony was simple. The most important ceremonies in an emperor's life cannot be fooled.

Song Mo's eyes fell on the four ministers of state.

The four ministers of state arranged by the late emperor were divided into two factions. Prime Minister Shen Wan and Prince Gong joined forces, and Shangshu Ling and Taiwei Xiao Qun formed an alliance.

Now he has handed over the affairs of the northern border to Xiao Qun, and the Yanmen snow disaster will be handed over to Shen Wan and Prince Gong. Each side is responsible for one thing, and they check and balance each other.

This is how Song Mo finally made the decision.

The four ministers of state could only obey the order.

"Everything is based on the northern border. The soldiers in the northern border are resisting the barbarians under the ice and snow. The soldiers cannot be short of food and grass."

Ministers: OK, they understand. In other words, save as many victims as possible in Yanmen. Everyone can't help but look at Prime Minister Shen Wan and Prince Gong with sympathy.

Until the end of the court, Shen Wan and Prince Gong both looked very bad.

Although Zhang Xian did not go to the court, the small power group he established with him as the head immediately told him what happened in the court after the court was over.

He didn't know whether others were satisfied with this result, but he was quite satisfied. This is good, and we can't always count on him.

And if he comes out again, he is just a favorite minister, why bother? The most important thing is the snow disaster in Yanmen. It sounds like the relief work is very difficult. He can't handle it. He can't bother Lord Lu again, right?

However, Lord Lu should be informed about this matter. Thinking of this, he struggled to get up, wrote a short letter and had it sent out.

Liaodong County, Qin Family

Lv Songli had a good rest for a few days, and the wild animals Qin Sheng brought back were indeed very nourishing. Her face was rosy and her complexion was visibly getting better.

While she was reading, Qin Sheng handed her a cup of warm water, "Lili, your eyes are tired, right? Drink some water, take a break and then read again."

He always remembered that his wife told the little ones that when they read, they should take a break every three quarters of an hour, look into the distance, and let their eyes rest, otherwise their eyes would become blurry. But his wife was not aware of it, and he felt that this required strict supervision by himself.

After Lv Songli finished drinking the water, Qin Sheng helped her put the cup away, then sat down next to her and squeezed in her direction.

Lu Songli looked at him helplessly. In the current weather, it was really cold outside. The military camp had also suspended outdoor training, and he was at home recently. Perhaps because they had an intimate relationship, he was very attached to her now, wishing he could grow on her.

Qin Sheng put his arm around her waist and suggested, "Lili, I will teach you how to practice boxing in the future?" He only now realized that his wife's physical strength was so poor.

Lu Songli just looked at him.

The more Qin Sheng thought about it, the better he felt about this idea. He was really smart. First, he could use the name of teaching to be intimate. Second, he could improve his wife's physical fitness, so that she could fight him on the kang in the future, hehe.

"Practicing boxing is good. It can strengthen the body and can--"

Qin Sheng was still listing the benefits of practicing boxing, but he was interrupted by Lu Songli before he finished speaking, "I won't learn it."

"Why?" Qin Sheng asked cautiously. He always felt that his little thoughts were seen through.

Lu Songli glanced at him with a half-smile, then looked back at the book.

She didn't mind exercising, but she didn't mind boxing. She was a person who could walk sideways during military training, so she was not suitable for these.

"Lili, if we don't want to practice boxing, we can practice swords. My swordsmanship is pretty good, and I have no problem teaching you."

"You, go out and teach Han'er and Bin'er to practice martial arts!" Lu Songli sent him out to save him from always wanting to stick to her in the house. Sticky and annoying.

Qin Sheng saw her firm attitude, got off the kang, and walked away with his head turned back every three steps. Why didn't his wife agree to him?

...

The Yanmen snow disaster and the invasion of Wuhuan were both major events for the entire Dali. After hearing the news, Lu Songli and others in Liaodong County also turned their attention to the two places and paid attention to the development of the two events.

When the Qin brothers heard that the Wuhuan were invading the northern border, they subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Their Qin family had been defending the northern border for generations and were very familiar with the various foreign tribes and their generals.

"How dare the Wuhuan invade the northern border?"

The Qin brothers looked at each other, why didn't they believe it?

"Sulha is timid, he would never dare to invade the northern border the second year after the Qiang Hu were destroyed." Qin Yan said affirmatively.

Sulha is the current leader of the Wuhuan. Last year, his father led a large army to attack the official camp of the Qiang Hu. Although he died in the battle, the battle destroyed the Qiang Hu tribe, which was enough to scare Suerha.

He followed his father to fight at that time, and he experienced how tragic the battle was.

Then, Qin Heng and others said in unison, "Xianbei!"

The Wuhuan today is just a puppet, or a pawn, and the powerful Xianbei tribe stands behind the Wuhuan tribe.

If it was not Suerha's intention to invade the northern border, then he was forced to do so. It is said that the grassland is rich in water and grass this year, so the Wuhuan tribe must not have gone south for food and other reasons. After ruling out this reason, it is not difficult to guess that he was coerced.
