Chapter 124: People Outside the Great Wall
"Okay! Since the prince and the princess are fine, I'll be relieved! Don't argue anymore," Zhang Liang paused slightly.
"By the way! I forgot to introduce it to you!" Chai Yi then remembered the brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao beside him, "These two are Jie Zhen and Jie Bao brothers. Thanks to their king, they can come back! Otherwise, there will be a lot of danger."
"I'll thank you for saving our prince! Please accept our beloved!" Zhang Liang led everyone to salute Jie Zhen Jiebao.
Xie Zhen was a little embarrassed and hurriedly stepped forward and helped him, "We just happened to pass by, a trivial matter! Don't be so polite. Isn't this a villain?"
The group of people made a fuss again, and Chai Yi said again: "Tell the Huo Tou Army to prepare food. I am almost starving to death! If you have any brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, please stay and fight the golden man with me!"
"We do!" Jie Zhen and Jie Bao smiled at each other and agreed. It seemed that they also hated the Jin people.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong, everyone, go back and rest! It's so much trouble for you. I'm embarrassed." Chai Yi said with a smile.
Everyone dispersed.
Chai Yi went to the tent and the food was ready soon. "Come on! Everyone toast to the joining of the brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao!"
"cheers!"
After three rounds of wine, everyone had enough food and drinks and then left. After the meal, they didn't see Princess Tu Yun. Chai Yi couldn't help but be curious, so he found Ashinakang and asked, "Little Prince, where is the princess? Why didn't he see her?"
Ashinakang hugged his hands and said, "Reply to the prince, the sister is still angry about that matter and refuses to come to have a meal. The girl, the prince, please don't worry! She will be fine in two days."
"Forget it! I'll go and have a look. Don't be angry."
"Then I'll bother the prince!" Asakam looked at Chai Yi with great gratitude.
Chai Yi smiled slightly and said nothing. After saying goodbye to Asanakang, he went to Princess Tu Yun’s account room. The girl was angry with him. The person who tied the bell must be tied. Only by estimating the girl would be relieved.
At this time, Tu Yun was staying in his accounting room in a daze, "Are you still angry?"
Princess Tu Yun turned her body without looking at him.
"I'm sorry! I can't say that so many people are so playful, right? Otherwise, those ministers should have something to say again. Don't you want to see me scolded by them, right? That's so shameless."
"Then you can't use me as a shield!" Princess Tu Yun finally spoke.
"Okay! It's my fault! You shouldn't be used as a shield." Chai Yi gently patted her shoulder.
"I am hungry!"
"Hungry? OK! I'll cook for you! Let you taste my craft!" Chai Yi grinned,
Princess Tu Yun's mouth twitched and said, "Can the food you cook eat?"
"Can you eat it?" Chai Yi asked back and exaggeratedly, "You can definitely swallow your tongue after eating the dishes I cook. Please wait honestly! I'll make it for you!"
After saying that, Chai Yi left the camp and walked towards the Huotou Military Camp.
After a while of busyness, Chai Yi delivered the fried rice he made himself to Princess Tu Yun, "Try it!"
"What is this?" Princess Tu Yun had never seen fried rice with eggs.
Chai Yi smiled and said, "This dish is called egg fried rice! It is made with eggs and rice. You can try it! It is absolutely delicious!"
Princess Tu Yun sniffed it and couldn't help but say, "It's quite fragrant, I don't know how it tastes."
Licking his lips, Princess Tu Yun grabbed some and put them in her mouth, her face shining brightly, and praised: "Is this really what you made? This is too delicious, right? I have never eaten such delicious rice when I grew up." Princess Tu Yun said while eating,
In the palace,
Chai Yan summoned Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng.
Chai Yan pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Juzheng, "Teacher, have you had any information about the border recently? That guy Xiao Liuzi didn't do anything wrong, right?"
Zhang Juzheng is now in charge of the Dawen secret spies in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Chai Yan will naturally ask him. He has a considerable trust in Zhang Juzheng, so he rarely interferes in intelligence affairs. If there is any new situation, Zhang Juzheng will report to him in time. If there is no, he will not ask him. He will only occasionally ask him when dealing with some military and national affairs to determine how he should make a decision.
"Your Majesty, the border has been in a cold weather recently, and it is difficult for the spies in the inner dying area to take too much action. So it has not received any valuable information for a month." Zhang Juzheng said helplessly.
The winter in the border is very cold, with the north wind whistling all day long and heavy snow flying. If you go out alone, you may be at risk of being blown away by the wind and snow. Therefore, there are often problems of delay or loss in the delivery of information.
"It seems that there has been heavy snow outside the border, covered with grass, and too many livestock died. The Jin people and I, Dazhou, have not been in operation recently?" Chai Yan said in a deep voice, "Why did Xiao Liuzi send me a letter to me to send them food? Is it just eating but not working?" Chai Yan said this, and was furious, "This Xiao Liuzi is really too much! He treats me as his granary. He doesn't eat or drink, so he asks me. When the army set off, I have obviously given them half a year of food. How long has it been?"
It turned out that Chai Yan received a letter from Chai Yi not long ago, asking him to send someone to deliver food. This was not Chai Yi's intention. It was just that Zhang Liang felt that the people living outside the Great Wall had no food to eat in winter, so he gave them the military rations, so he gave them nothing, so he asked Chai Yi to send a letter, but did not tell the real reason. With Chai Yan's virtue, he would definitely not care about people other than the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As soon as Chai Yan got angry, Zhang Juzheng didn't dare to speak. He thought for a while and said, "Master, could it be His Highness the King of Qi who distributed the food to the people outside the border? As far as I know, the people outside the border are the three places that are not in charge. This place is relatively poor. It was originally the Turks' control, but the people of the Later Jin Dynasty ignored them. I thought it was the King of Qi who felt sorry for all their generals who distributed them to them, otherwise..."
Zhang Juzheng's words were like a heavy hammering in Chai Yan's heart, "This King of Qi! He actually used the food from our Great Zhou to help others! He didn't explain to me! I'm so angry that I'm so angry! Wait for him to come back!" Chai Yi's series of actions were not wrong, but in his name. If it were in his name, he would probably be willing.
"Emperor! The people outside the Great Wall are originally Turkic people, and the Turkic and our Great Zhou have a federal relationship. Although this country is no longer there, the Turkic prince Ashinakang is still alive. His Majesty has promised to help Ashina recover his country, so his people will have to rescue him."
"Oh! Okay! Teacher, please go to the Ministry of Revenue to inform them and ask them to allocate some more food to send people to the border." After thinking about Zhang Juzheng's words carefully, he felt that it was not unreasonable, and he finally agreed.
“
"Yes." Zhang Juzheng bowed and accepted the order.
