Chapter 648: It really snowed

The Zen room is not big, so when a group of people enter, it becomes a bit crowded.

Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang walked to the front, and Shangguan Xu took the initiative to give up a seat for them.

"Your Highness, I heard that you are terminally ill?" Shangguan Xu smiled after asking.

Others looked at Yan Mu one after another, seeing that he looked like he was terminally ill.

"His illness comes and goes quickly, His Majesty Seventh. It seems as if he has never been sick before."

"In order not to delay His Majesty's recovery, I don't dare to disturb him no matter how urgent we are!"

"But the sky is going to fall!"

Everyone was talking to each other, and it seemed that they were really anxious and angry, so they no longer cared about their dignity, nor were they afraid of Yan Musu's power, so they all accused him one after another.

"After all, the seventh prince is too young to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. He has really tried his best." The fourth prince Qin Shengrui said with a sigh.

Yan Mu lowered his eyes, no matter what they said, he just ignored them.

After waiting for a while, the emperor came and saw that he was still wearing a big cloak with snow particles on it. He had obviously come back from outside. His face was gloomy and he was walking in a hurry. When he passed by Yan Mu, he gave him a fierce look.

.

The Queen stepped forward at this time, hurriedly took off the Emperor's cloak, and ordered people to quickly get brown sugar and ginger tea.

"The Emperor is here for the Qing Dynasty. I shouldn't disturb you, but..." the queen sighed, "Three provinces and six ministries, the following states and counties, and the three armies of Nanzhou, all kinds of urgent information have been sent to me.

...Lao Qi is weak and is seriously ill, so he is helpless."

The queen said and asked someone to bring a chair, "Let His Highness the Seventh sit down quickly. Isn't he seriously ill? He is said to be unconscious. He is finally awake today."

These words were enough to embarrass people, but what was even more irritating was that a servant actually brought a chair.

Everyone looked at Yan Mu to see if he had the nerve to sit down.

Yan Mu saluted the emperor, then lifted his hem and actually sat down. After sitting down, he coughed twice, and then thanked the queen for her consideration.

At this moment, everyone was impressed by Yan Mu's shamelessness.

The emperor's face turned blue. He raised his hand and waved all the urgent memorials on the table to the ground. Then he shouted angrily at Yan Mu: "Have you read the memorials handed over from various places?"

Yan Mu coughed and said, "I'll report it back to the Emperor. I'll take a look at it."

"Did you read the discount coupon from Nanzhou asking for food and salary?"

"Look.

"Have you read all three folds?"

"Looked at it."

The emperor slapped his palm on the table, "Then what did you do?"

Yan Mu coughed again, "My son, I am full of ambition but not strong enough."

"Are you willing to do something but not enough?" The Emperor glared at Yan Mu angrily, "I think you are passive and slack, you have no idea how to solve it, and you are deliberately pretending to be sick and delaying it again and again!"

"These discounts only cost money. After careful calculation, I found that it would take at least one million taels to fill this hole..."

Before Yan Mu could finish his words, Shangguan Xu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has not been in good health these past few years. He is taking advantage of this Qing Dynasty to recuperate his dragon body. Since His Majesty the Seventh Highness is in poor health, he cannot bear this heavy responsibility.

If it were someone else."

When the queen heard this, she was afraid that Shangguan Xu would recommend someone else, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave it to the fourth child? As a minister, he should share your worries."

The emperor was very irritated, pointed at His Royal Highnesses, and said impatiently: "How can he have such ability if he has an empty head?"

"emperor……"

"Or are you capable of this?"

The queen pursed her lips and said: "After all, he is your son. The seventh child is not good, and the third child is not good. He can only be the fourth child."

"You mean I gave birth to a bunch of straw bags?"

This sentence made the queen speechless, but Yan Mu spoke up: "Last time in Qiu Wei, His Highness the Fourth Highness was brave and resourceful and solved the crisis. I hope His Highness the Fourth Highness will still be resourceful this time."

After hearing this, the emperor thought for a moment, looked at His Royal Highness and asked: "The most urgent thing at the moment is the Nanzhou Third Army's request for food and wages. Do you have a solution?"

His Highness the Fourth Highness straightened his chest and said with a confident look: "The Nanzhou riots have been suppressed. To prevent a resurgence, it is indeed necessary to leave some troops behind, but there is really no need to keep all three armies."

The emperor snorted, "Then which army do you want to stay? Which two groups should be withdrawn?"

His Royal Highness was silent for a moment and said: "In my opinion, all three armies contributed to this riot. Now that the riot has subsided, all three armies should return to their bases for repairs. Why not send General Huben?

When Zhang Cheng goes to Nanzhou, it will be enough as long as he integrates the remaining military forces of Nanzhou."

Obviously Zhang Cheng belongs to the fourth prince.

Shangguan Xu said: "General Zhang is already old and the situation in Nanzhou is not stable. It is better to stay with the Central Plains Army."

Some people also proposed to keep the northwest army, saying that compared with the Central Plains and Zhenbei, the northwest is closer and more convenient.

On this matter alone, the ministers had different opinions and started a heated discussion.

The emperor was very annoyed. However, the issue of food and salary was imminent and he had to make up his mind. He saw that Qin Shengrui was confident at first, but when he saw that the courtiers had more opinions, neither side showed weakness. The more the argument became more fierce, then he withered silently.

.

But Yan Mu was sitting there, acting as if it had nothing to do with him, which was even more irritating.

"Your Majesty, King Anqing is supervising the Yanzhou Futai bribery case. The case has been concluded. King Anqing will return to Beijing soon." At this time, an official stood up and said, "It is true that military pay cannot be delayed, but Nanzhou is thousands of miles away, and the situation is

In fact, we don’t know exactly what it is, so why don’t we send King Anqing to Nanzhou and leave this difficult matter to him to handle.”

Shangguan Xu said at the right moment: "If King Anqing cannot properly resolve this matter, he will be severely punished."

The emperor lowered his eyes. Any withdrawal of the army would offend people. If Qin Fei was asked to deal with the problem, he would also get into trouble.

The emperor was about to make a decision when a guard hurriedly came to report that the Central Plains Army and the Northwest Army in Nanzhou had urgent documents.

"Could he be asking for food and wages again?" the emperor frowned.

The other ministers also thought that when Shangguan Xu took the document and opened it, his expression changed.

"Your Majesty, Nan...it's snowing in Nanzhou..."

The emperor just thought he heard wrongly, "What?"

"It's snowing, there's a big blizzard."

Now everyone, not just the emperor, heard it clearly. Everyone couldn't believe what they heard. Shangguan Xu read the urgent document sent by the Central Plains Army and then read the one sent by the Northwest Army. Both letters said the same thing.

One thing happened, there was a heavy snowstorm in Nanzhou.

Yan Mu was also surprised, and hurriedly looked at Liu Yunxiang, and saw her lowering her head and smiling triumphantly at him. Her expression clearly said: See if I can calculate accurately!

"How can it snow when there is no cold in Nanzhou all year round!"

"Didn't we say a few days ago that it was too hot and many soldiers got colds from the heat?"

"If it really snows, it will be a weird thing that happens once in a hundred years."

The emperor frowned, "What did they say?"

Shangguan Xu took a deep breath and said, "It snowed heavily. Nanzhou suddenly became cold overnight. Neither army prepared anything to keep out the cold. Many soldiers froze to death. They requested the emperor's permission to evacuate Nanzhou."

The emperor looked puzzled: "Where is the Zhenbei Army? Is it possible that they are not afraid of the cold?"

Yan Mu said at this time: "Zhenbei sent a batch of cotton-padded clothes to Nanzhou a few days ago. They were originally redundant, but I didn't expect them to be put to use."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless. The battle of wits and courage among all parties was no match for God's madness. The intensive planning was no match for Yan Mu's casual words.

The emperor rubbed his forehead and said, "In that case, the Zhenbei Army will be left behind, and the other two armies should withdraw."

Nanzhou is garrisoned by the Zhenbei Army, which is equivalent to becoming Yan Mu's territory.
