Chapter 27 A steady stream of water?

All the ministers sent petitions one after another, but Emperor Wen refused to speak.

"Your Majesty, why not give His Highness the Sixth Prince a chance to confront the Beihuan envoy?"

At this time, Xiao Wanchou stood up again and made a final effort.

"His Highness Six has admitted it himself, do you still need to confront me?"

Xu Shifu said sternly: "Even if he is given the opportunity to confront the Beihuan mission in person, will the people from the Beihuan mission admit it?"

Xu Shifu's words were also recognized by the majority.

Even Yunzheng agreed.

Even if there is this opportunity, it will only delay time.

Bambu will definitely not admit that he was framed.

It may even add fuel to the fire.

Xu Shifu's words once again left Xiao Wanchou speechless.

Xiao Wanchou, a military general, would definitely not be able to argue with a civil servant.

After a long silence, Xiao Wanchou suddenly took a step forward and knelt on the ground with a bang: "Your Majesty, His Highness is the prince after all. Even if he wants to die, he cannot do it just with a letter! I sincerely ask Your Majesty to let me do it. Supervise this matter, and I will definitely get to the bottom of it!"

Seeing Xiao Wanchou kneeling down and begging, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be secretly grateful.

It is really rare to find people who are willing to help me at this time.

The key is that he and Xiao Wanchou didn't have much interaction in the first place. They just exchanged some words when they were greeting the Beihuan delegation the night before yesterday.

Although he was sure that he could break the situation, he still remembered Xiao Wanchou's favor.

"Old General, please wake up!"

Emperor Wen signaled Mu Shun to help Xiao Wanchou, then nodded slightly and said, "What the old general said makes sense. Even if he wants to kill Lao Liu, he must get to the bottom of this matter!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Xiao Wanchou and Yun Zheng spoke at the same time.

Xu Shifu and Yun Li looked at Xiao Wanchou with hatred and cursed in their hearts as an old thief.

However, they are not worried at all.

They had all the tail taken care of.

No matter how much Xiao Wanchou tried to investigate, he couldn't find out!

As long as Xiao Wanchou cannot clear Yun Zheng's name, Yun Zheng will definitely die!

This is a dead end!

Emperor Wen glared at Yunzheng fiercely and said angrily: "Don't thank me, thank General Xiao!"

"Thank you, Duke Yu!"

Yunzheng bowed and saluted.

Xiao Wanchou waved his hand and said seriously: "I am willing to believe in His Highness for once!"

"Thank you!"

Yunzheng said sincerely.

"Okay! Let's leave it like this for now!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand and asked the ministers: "Is there anything else to report?"

While speaking, Emperor Wen glanced at Yun Li from the corner of his eye.

However, Emperor Wen waited for a long time, and Yun Li did not come forward.

"Your Majesty, should His Highness the Sixth Prince be detained first?"

Xu Shifu bowed and asked.

"Not urgent!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand, "We'll wait until we see the Beihuan envoy! Could it be that I'm still afraid that he'll run away?"

Xu Shifu was bored and resigned obediently.

Yun Zheng's heart moved secretly, and he began to think silently.

Apparently, this cheap guy like me must have received some rumors!

Emperor Wen is acting!

He also concluded that he was framed!

He did this on purpose just to see who was causing trouble behind the scenes!

Otherwise, I should have escorted myself to the prison first!

At this time, the eunuch outside the palace came to report that the Beihuan delegation was already outside the palace asking for an audience.

"Xuan!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand and ordered the ministers: "No one is allowed to mention the matter of Lao Liu in front of the Beihuan envoy! I want to see how they colluded!"

All the ministers agreed.

Soon, the Beihuan delegation entered the palace.

Still holding his head high as before.

"I've met Emperor Daqian!"

Bambu placed his right hand on his heart and saluted with Beihuan etiquette.

Emperor Wen frowned and said displeasedly: "The Imperial Master has forgotten the bet with me?"

"Don't forget!"

Bambu shook his head and said: "The salute is only limited to the night before yesterday. It will not be counted today!"

Emperor Wen suffocated slightly, cursing in his heart that this old guy had taken advantage of him.

"Forget it! You have bowed down and worshiped me anyway!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand and said calmly: "I have not been in a good mood these days, so let's not be nagging. The Imperial Master will tell you directly, how much grain does Beihuan want me to support?"

"Three million dan!"

Bambu spoke directly.

"what?"

"Three million dan?"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"All the food has been given to Beihuan, what shall I eat?"

"Even if I work hard to tax food for a year, it will only be million tons..."

The ministers immediately objected fiercely.

Yun Zheng also secretly complained.

Three million dan, isn’t it million catties of grain?

It's a beautiful idea!

"No, no!"

Banbu shook his head and said with a smile: "I have heard that Daqian has a good harvest this year, with more than million dan of tax and grain. What I, Beihuan, ask for is less than your %!"

As Banbu finished speaking, the expressions of the ministers changed drastically.

The next moment, everyone's eyes fell on Yun Zheng.

Although the amount of taxes and grains is not a top secret, only the important officials in the court and those close to the emperor know it.

How could Bambu know so clearly?

At this moment, almost everyone thought that Yunzheng had revealed the news to Banbu.

Yun Zheng couldn't argue and simply didn't speak.

How brilliant!

Don’t give yourself a wink or hint to help.

At this point, the matter of his affair with Beihuan became more solid.

I have to say, the person who did this is really insidious.

Yun Zheng's eyes quietly fell on Xu Shifu and Yun Li.

The two birdmen he suspected the most were.

Xu Shifu secretly smiled in his heart, but his face looked angry.

"Three million dan, absolutely impossible!"

Emperor Wen replied without thinking: "Our court can support Beihuan at most dans of grain. If the Imperial Guards want more, they can exchange war horses!"

“Let’s talk about the war horses later!”

Banbu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Three million loads of grain is really not much! We have cavalrymen in Beihuan. One man and one horse consume one bucket of grain a day. No matter how frugal we are, three million loads of grain is still the most." It can only keep us going for two months..."

Six hundred thousand cavalry!

After hearing Bambu's words, everyone's faces were severely twitched.

Threat!

Bambu is clearly threatening Da Gan!

Beihuan's cavalry must be an exaggeration.

But it would be no problem to scrape together three or four hundred thousand cavalry.

Although Daqian has millions of soldiers, due to the scarcity of war horses, there are only more than cavalry.

If Beihuan's cavalry goes south, it will be difficult for Daqian to resist.

Emperor Wen clenched his fist tightly and said with a frosty face: "I say it again, three million loads of grain is absolutely impossible! If Beihuan wants to fight, I will fight with you to the end!"

"Correct!"

Xiao Wanchou stood up and said with murderous intent: "Although I am old, I can still lead the army to fight! I beg your Majesty to let me lead the army in battle!"

As Xiao Wanchou stepped forward, everyone from the main fighting faction asked Ying to fight.

"I, Beihuan, come here sincerely to ask Daqian to support us with food supplies."

Bambu smiled slightly and said, "If Dagan feels that giving three million tons of food at one time is too much, how about we change to a long-term method?"

"A steady flow of water?"

Emperor Wen raised his hand to stop the people who were asking for battle, and asked: "What is the method of long and thin water flowing?"

Banbu smiled slightly and replied: "We signed an agreement for a period of one month. On the first day of Daqian, we will be given two dans of grain, the second day four dans, and the third day eight dans. Every day after that, we will be given the same grain as the previous day." Twice, and so on, it will give me enough for Beihuan for one month..."
