Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 270 Huaiyan is right, those who fall behind will be beaten

Lu Yanfu of Zhendong County has never returned home since he was called away that day. He has been on the battlefield, and the military supervisor is the late emperor's man.

I haven't seen Lu Yanfu these days.

He has a very bad temper.

He asked someone to carry a sedan chair and take him to the door of Lu Yanfu's tent.

Someone also stopped him.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you stop my sedan?"

Lu Yanfu had a headache.

The last time he went to the capital, he was humiliated, and the little military rations he asked for were almost gone. The soldiers' salaries were owed for a month.

Staying in the tent also makes us worry about where to get food for the rest of the war.

The voice of the military supervisor was heard.

Waving his hands helplessly, "Someone go and tell him to shut up and stop causing trouble."

"Report."

"Come in."

When Lu Yanfu heard that it was a letter from the capital, he quickly let the person in. The military supervisor was left out and was so angry that he wanted to go back and write a letter to impeach Lu Yanfu.

Lu Yanfu unfolded the secret letter.

He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the emperor would pass the throne to Shang Yan.

Shang Yan turned out to be Long Changyou.

only……

There is no food delivered from the capital yet.

"General. Madam's farm has sent us some food. Madam told you to just drive the enemy out. The best enemy will never dare to set foot on the land of Great Zhou again."

Lu Yanfu looked up in surprise.

"What did you say? Madam..."

"Madam ordered someone to send some silver, saying that her dowry would be rations for our army." It was also the first time that the deputy general had seen a woman like Su Rumei.

Lu Yanfu held the banknote in his hand and didn't know what to say.

"She felt wronged to marry me."

When Lu Yanfu said that Su Rumei was wronged, Su Rumei didn't think so.

As the wife of a general, she went to the streets to persuade people to donate money and food to defend their homes. She took the lead in teaching the people how to grow high-yield crops.

Encourage everyone to grow the high-yield crops on her farm.

Ordinary people don't believe it to some extent.

Su Rumei took out the potatoes grown on the farm and showed them to everyone.

Only the people's grain production increased.

There will be more food to supply the army. Only when the military and civilians are united can the Great Zhou avoid the possibility of being destroyed.

Su Rutang took Shangqi and Yaoyao back to the palace.

The palace is very quiet.

Empress Dowager Dou swept through all the supplies and smashed everything like a madman.

"Queen Mother."

"She asked that bitch Su Rutang to come see me. What right does she have to take away the power of the Dou family?" Empress Dowager Dou glared at the palace maids and eunuchs ferociously.

"Go. Tell that bitch to come over here."

The palace maids and eunuchs hurried out.

Only the personal female attendant stayed.

"Aunt Feng, what should we do?" The little eunuch looked pitiful.

Fengyun waved his hand, "Go down first."

Wait for the young eunuch to go down.

Feng Yun came to Empress Dowager Dou, "Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Dou slowly raised her head.

“Fengyun, I am called the Queen Mother. But the Emperor is not my son, not even the late Emperor’s son.” Queen Mother Dou pressed her forehead, “Fengyun, my head hurts.”

"Dou Family... Why did that bitch Su Rutang have the right?"

"Empress Dowager. Concubine Yun and Concubine Song request to see you." Before the eunuch outside finished speaking, several concubines filed in.

The first thing I did when I came in was to cry.

They all wiped their tears and asked why Su Rutang, as a queen, had the right to attack their families.

"My brother was deceived by a vixen, who asked for a huge sum of money and tried to extort it from my brother.

The two of them exchanged a few words and started arguing again. My brother accidentally killed that vixen, but she reported it to the Dali Temple. In the past, the Dali Temple didn't care, but this time the Queen somehow found out and sentenced my brother to exile 3,000 miles away.

"My dear Queen Mother, when has my brother ever suffered such hardship? He should have been reprimanded for a lowly seductress. But he was exiled three thousand miles away, to a place where war was going on."

The crying concubine was no more than twenty years old, and she was crying so hard that her body was shaking.

Concubine Song also burst into tears.

"The Queen's people said that my family occupied the good land of the untouchables. Those untouchables took advantage of their poverty and deliberately took advantage of us. But the Queen believed it. Not only did she order my family to return the land, she also fined us. Even my father was caned and fired from his job."

One by one.

All talking.

Empress Dowager Dou didn't write down anything.

In the end, Su Rutang became the queen and deliberately took revenge on these women of the late emperor.

She was furious.

A slap on the table.

"Everyone is afraid of Su Rutang, but I am not."

"Your Highness, I can only rely on you."

"Empress Dowager. I am deeply distressed."

"I only have this one little brother, and he's going to a bitter and cold place. What should I do?"

All the beauties in the room were crying.

The Queen Mother felt her head was buzzing.

"Alright. Seeing how useless you are, go back quickly." Empress Dowager Dou stood up and said, "I will go and talk to you on your behalf."

She changed into the Queen Mother's court dress.

Feng Yun felt uneasy, "Queen Mother, are you really going to go?"

"Go. If I don't go, you will think that I am afraid of that little bitch." Empress Dowager Dou also wanted to be regent. Why could the queen be regent but she, the empress dowager, could not be regent?

Bo Luohui, Su Rutang and others were discussing the issue of food and fodder.

King Cheng took out a fifty thousand tael silver note from his pocket and said, "My wife asked me to give this to you. She said that even though she can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, she still wants to do her part."

Bo Luohui has no family background.

In addition, after his house was ransacked, he didn't even have money to buy furniture.

"Old minister..."

"Minister Bo, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocate 5,000 taels of silver to you so that you can repair the door of your mansion first. This silver cannot be allocated from the Ministry of Revenue, so we can only use the silver from the palace." Su Rutang knew that Bo Luohui was from a poor family and had very little money.

Prince Anping folded his arms and said nothing. He was still confused.

How come Shang Yan is Long Changyou?

"Prince Anping."

Prince Anping came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, Jianzhou needs food and grass support. We alone are just a drop in the bucket. I think Jinzhou and Yunzhou City are both wealthy places. With the food and grass support from these two places, Your Majesty will have an easier time fighting."

Shen Zhongshu is not yet used to discussing state affairs with Su Rutang.

There was silence for a moment.

Then he looked at Bo Luohui.

Bo Luohui didn't look at him, but just said, "Mr. Shen, please speak if you have anything to say."

Shen Zhongshu changed his sitting position.

He moved a little, "It's still about the war. Should we send someone to negotiate?"

Su Rutang refused outright.

"No. Now they are attacking Da Zhou together, which means they are united to trample Da Zhou under their feet and bite it to death. If we go there to negotiate, we will be in a passive situation.

Not to mention a marriage alliance, even sending half of the women in the Great Zhou would be useless.

When the time comes, we will have to cede land and pay compensation, and we will have to sign an unequal agreement. Huai Yan is right, if you lag behind, you will be beaten. This time we must bite the bullet and fight one place to the death, and hold the other places back so that they can’t help each other.”

Su Rutang spoke righteously.

Secretary Shen's face was not looking good. "There is already a shortage of food and fodder. We have already found out that some of our food has been sold to Xiliang and Nanli Kingdom."

Needless to say, there are those who sell grain.

He was a favorite of the late emperor.

Among them, Taoist Priest Wu made a lot of money from it.

Su Rutang sighed. "The palace's expenses are also huge. I think it's a waste to keep the late emperor's concubines in the palace. Besides, most of them are women in their twenties. I can't bear to see them die of old age in the palace in the next few decades."

Bo Luohui's mind moved.

"Release a group?"

Prince Anping immediately objected, "What if you don't want to go out?"

"We can't force them to go out if they don't want to. If they do, they will make a scene and accuse us of mistreating the late emperor's old friends."

King Cheng had no idea about this.

"The supplies for staying in the palace are too extravagant, and there are also a lot of palace maids and eunuchs."

That said.

Su Rutang knew what was going on.

"Let's do it this way. First, release a group of people and allow them to get married. We can even encourage them to get married and give them a sum of money as their dowry."

Su Rutang hurriedly asked Bo Luohui to write it down.

"Let the people from the clan's main house come out to mediate and persuade them to get married again."

Su Rutang was counting the money.

For the first time, she felt that money was not enough.

The yield from the fields is too low.

"There are also Yunzhou City and Jinzhou Prefecture." Before Su Rutang finished speaking, Prince Anping said, "The governor of Jinzhou Prefecture is probably leading people to rebel, saying that he doesn't believe that the late emperor passed the throne to the emperor."

"You are just a small military governor, not a member of the royal family. After tasting the power, you want to be the king of Champa?" Su Rutang looked coldly at the scene in front of him. "Let General Gu take the people over."

"Jinzhou Prefecture has troops and food. Our General Gu..." Shen Zhongshu always felt that fighting a war casually was too risky.
