The Reborn Wife is Farming

When Rong Xuan heard Fan Zijin say that he wanted to let the servant be free, he glanced at him slightly in surprise, and said in silence for a moment: "It's good to let him take the initiative to explain this matter to the Holy One, otherwise, when the matter reaches the Holy One, there will be no one on the side of the servant." If there is any movement, I am afraid that General Hoi An of the imperial court will accuse the angel of private detention, which is our negligence."

Fan Zijin nodded, "But we can't just let people go like this. Brother Rong, I don't know what hobbies this angel has. Angels are the eyes and ears of the Holy One. Even if he doesn't favor us in the memorial, he just says a word impartially. Better than all our excuses."

Rong Xuan glanced at him approvingly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do this myself, and the general will not be put in danger."

Rong Xuan had already inquired about his personality and hobbies after the servant arrived in Xingzhou Mansion, so he naturally knew what to say and what to do to win his favor.

So when the emperor received the news that Qi Xiuyuan had sent troops to Hanzhong Mansion, he also received a letter from the servant.

Even though the servant mentioned in the letter that Qi Xiuyuan was loyal and patriotic but was too strong, the emperor was still very angry.

Now that the national treasury is empty, he is still having a headache about the annual coins he will give to Jin Guo and Xixia next year. He was about to beg for mercy and tolerance from Jin Guo Xixia, but Qi Xiuyuan directly sent troops to fight there. Isn't this causing trouble for him?

However, Yuan Jiajun was also dispatched. If it was only Qi Xiuyuan alone, the emperor could cut him, but now Yuan Jiajun is also involved. At the beginning, because he recalled Yuan Jiajun, the censor and the people had a lot of opinions on him. If he warns again this time, the people There must be something to say.

The emperor didn't want to add money to teahouses and restaurants at all.

The emperor regretted that he used General Yuan back then. At the beginning, seeing that he came from a poor background and had nothing to rely on in the army and court, he thought he would listen to his own words. The holy will is also obedient and contrary, and he has not listened to his orders several times when he sent troops, but he still has a reputation among the people, so if he can't hold his handle, he can't be easily moved.

But he has the help of the Shen family, his hands and feet are clean, and he loves the people like a son, so the emperor can't find anything against him.

Now the most powerful person in the Great Zhou Dynasty besides Prime Minister Qin is General Yuan, but Prime Minister Qin's power comes from him, it all depends on his words, but General Yuan is not. The emperor beat the dragon chair with an ugly face and thought to himself, originally he wanted to support Qin Prime Minister came to check and balance General Yuan, but now it seems that it has little effect. After all, Prime Minister Qin has no military power, so it is difficult for General Yuan to have scruples.

In order to relieve the crisis of the national treasury before, he made the army self-sufficient. In the past six months, the emperor has faintly regretted it, because he found that his control over the army, which was originally small, was even weaker.

The emperor sighed: "It would be great if there is someone who can check and balance Yuan's army."

Hearing the words, the head eunuch next to him turned his eyes and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, isn't there a ready-made person here?"

The emperor looked up at him and asked, "Who?"

"Qi Xiuyuan, General Qi," the chief eunuch said in a low voice when he saw the emperor frowning, "Your Majesty, this General Qi is a young talent. If you help him up and make him a general of the army, then you can check and balance the Yuan family's army." Yet?"

The emperor frowned, "I'm afraid that another Qi family army will be brought in, and they will still be disobedient."

The chief eunuch smiled and said: "Your majesty is worrying too much. General Yuan is the leader of the army, and General Qi is also the leader of the army. There is no room for two tigers in this mountain. Isn't it you, the Holy One, who benefit from the fight between the snipe and the clam? "

"But I heard that Qi Xiuyuan admires General Yuan very much."

The head eunuch smiled indifferently and said: "That's because General Qi is only a third-rank Xuanfeng doctor, and he is a fourth-rank general, with only 30,000 to 40,000 people under his command, unlike General Yuan, who is a first-rank general. There are 140,000 to 50,000 troops under his command, if they stand at the same height, General Qi is much younger than General Yuan..."

The emperor couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, clapped his hands and said: "Good strategy, but Qi Xiuyuan has not reached the weak crown this year, and he has risen to the third rank quickly enough, there is no reason to reward him at this moment."

"Why did the emperor forget that General Qi is now attacking Hanzhong Mansion. If he recovers Hanzhong Mansion, it will be a great achievement."

"Then what if it fails?" the emperor asked with a slight smile.

"That means Qi Xiu is far from worthy of cultivation. Is he alive or dead, or is it just a matter of a word from the sage?"

The emperor said in distress: "I'm afraid that if the Hanzhong Mansion is taken over, the Jin Kingdom will have an opinion, and if Qi Xiuyuan is rewarded again, I'm afraid it will turn against the Jin Kingdom."

The chief eunuch looked at the emperor speechlessly, Da Zhou and Jin Guo have always been at odds, okay? Even if he is an eunuch, he also knows that the reason why the Jin soldiers did not go south is because the country is not peaceful, and the national power is not enough to support their southward attack, and Da Zhou is willing to pay a lot of old coins, so as to maintain the superficial peace.

But that's it. There are also many conflicts on the border every year. Take this year as an example. There are hundreds of times reported from all over the country that Jin soldiers went south to fight grass valleys. How did the emperor see that the two countries' diplomacy is very good?

Do you think they are a nation of brothers like the letter of credence said?

But the head eunuch only dared to complain in his heart, he didn't dare to speak out, he only comforted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, it is the wish of the people all over the world to take back the Hanzhong Mansion, and I believe the Emperor of Jin will understand."

The emperor cast a look of "You think I'm a fool", and the chief eunuch said: "Now General Qi has sent troops to Hanzhong Mansion, and Yuan Jiajun has also left Caizhou. Winning is better than losing."

The emperor thought about it too, he was offended anyway, so winning is better than losing.

"Order to order Qi Xiuyuan not to move forward after taking over the Hanzhong mansion, so as not to provoke a large-scale counterattack by the Kingdom of Jin, and then send a message to General Yuan to quickly withdraw from Caizhou. Caizhou has hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers. Ah, how much food and grass will be spent for the soldiers and horses to move? Now that the national treasury is empty, and disasters are gradually appearing in various places, I don’t have any food to support them now, nor will I next year.”

The chief eunuch hurried down and asked the servant to come in and write the imperial edict.

Qi Xiuyuan received the imperial decree in Hanzhong Mansion. At this time, he had already occupied more than half of the counties and towns in Hanzhong Mansion. He put away the imperial decree and responded with a slightly raised mouth. He only had more than 40,000 people, and he had no intention of continuing to go north. As long as the Hanzhong mansion can be regained, the food must be eaten bite by bite, and the homeland must be taken back step by step.

Jiang Ze led the troops to join the army, dismounted and reported: "General, all counties and towns on Hanzhong Funan Road have been recovered, all Jin soldiers have been eradicated, and a small group has fled north."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "There's no need to chase after them. You stay behind and guard the gates of the counties. When Rong Xuan comes over, immediately start arranging recruitment. Our troops should expand a bit. All the land occupied by the rich and powerful of the Kingdom of Jin will be taken back as military fields... "
