In the main hall.
The kings and ministers of Daliang were tortured to death by the envoys of Shu.
Qian Zhongshu was even more furious. When he saw the old eunuch running up to him at this time and shouting "Marquis of Fanyang County", he couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart, and a vicious thought came to his mind.
Just listen to him shout loudly:
"Who is making such a noise there? Is the noble envoy of the Shu Kingdom here? He's no big or small. Bring that man over to me. I want to see who gave him the courage to attack the noble envoy of the Shu Kingdom! "
"..."
Seeing Qian Zhongshu speak, Qian Niuwei took the old eunuch into custody and walked towards the main hall. During this period, he kept covering the old eunuch's mouth with his hand to prevent him from yelling again.
After a while, the old eunuch was escorted into the hall.
None of the prime ministers looked very good. The envoys of the Shu Kingdom laughed and shook their heads. The Queen frowned. In the presence of foreign envoys, some people actually made noise for no reason. This was really rude!
Qian Zhongshu ignored him, pointed at the old eunuch's nose and cursed:
"Looking at your age, you are not too young. Why are you still so ignorant of the rules? You didn't see the noble envoy of the Kingdom of Shu. How dare you make a noise for no reason and ask, is there someone behind you?"
"What did I hear you shout just now... The Marquis of Fanyang County? Could it be that the Marquis of Fanyang County instigated your words and deeds to be inconsistent? Where is the other person?"
"Your Majesty, please order a thorough investigation into this matter. The Marquis of Fanyang County dares to send people to disturb the small court meeting and neglect the noble envoys of Shu. Your Majesty must be punished for his crime!"
"..."
Princess Lanling's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and she glanced at Qian Zhongshu meaningfully. At such a critical moment, Qian Zhongshu didn't forget to set up Su Xian.
His heart can be killed!
The Queen put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes slightly. She was inexplicably upset as she listened to Qian Zhongshu's yelling.
At the same time, I also felt inexplicable disgust towards this unruly old eunuch and the person who might be the instigator behind him - Su Xian.
Princess Lanling stood up and said:
"In my opinion, this father-in-law will not barge into the hall without any reason. He must have something important... Wait for a moment to release this father-in-law's mouth and listen to what he has to say."
The Qianniu Guards officers followed the instructions and removed the hand covering the old eunuch's mouth.
Although the old eunuch was treated roughly, he always looked happy. However, he was so happy that he froze there and didn't know where to start.
Princess Lanling said warmly: "What is your purpose of coming here? It's okay to just tell me."
Inspired by this, the old eunuch recalled what Su Xian had told him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Fanyang County would like to ask Your Majesty to move over and go..."
"presumptuous!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Qian Zhongshu suddenly scolded loudly, interrupted the old eunuch's words, and said angrily:
"How can your majesty, who is ninety-five years old, be called back and forth by the Marquis of Fanyang County? Your Majesty, I would like to punish the Marquis of Fanyang County for the crime of disrespect, as a warning to others!"
"..."
The Queen held her forehead with one hand, suffering from a headache. She couldn't stand Qian Zhongshu's words and deeds, so she asked the old eunuch directly:
"Why did the Marquis of Fanyang County ask me to move him? Where will he go?"
The old eunuch replied with joy:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Fanyang County found a lot of well-preserved grain under the ruins of Hanjiacang City!"
"The Marquis invites Your Majesty to go there in person. This food may be enough to alleviate the food shortage crisis in our beams!"
"..."
After these words, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The prime ministers looked at each other, Su Xian... found a lot of well-preserved grain under the ruins of Hanjiacang City? This... this is unlikely!
The Internal Guard and the Prison Department have been investigating the case for several months, but why haven't they found any food?
How virtuous and capable is he Su Xian!
The Shu envoy was startled for a moment, and then he smiled. This must be a play played by Daliang for him. The purpose was naturally to negotiate terms... But he, a wise and powerful man, saw through it at a glance!
After hearing the words, the Queen's expression fell into a sluggish state, and the symptoms of dizziness still accompanied her, like a fog shrouding her, making it difficult to see the front, back, left, and right.
After a few breaths, the symptoms of dizziness were reduced by less than half.
This is good news!
She seemed to have just reacted!
"Enough to alleviate...the crisis of food shortage in Da Liang?" The queen looked at the old eunuch and murmured. Her mind was a little stiff and her thinking seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty, the grain discovered by the Marquis is really enough to alleviate the crisis of food shortage in my beams!" the old eunuch laughed loudly.
"How many...have you found?" The queen pinched herself secretly. It hurt, but it also made her wake up completely. The hazy feeling like being in a dream completely disappeared!
"Your Majesty, according to the preliminary estimate of the Marquis, the amount of food discovered this time is... four million dan!" the old eunuch replied.
"..."
Su Xian's estimate was actually six million stones, but what if six million stones were not dug out in the end? The Queen will be disappointed.
But if the data of four million stones is reported at the beginning, and five or six million stones are dug out in the end, the queen will be delighted.
So Su Xian specifically told the old eunuch that he had found four million stones of grain.
"Four million stones!"
The Queen was surprised, there were so many!
If you use it sparingly, it will indeed be enough to support the next season's food harvest!
The queen was immediately overjoyed!
Long Yan is delighted!
An indescribable joy filled my heart.
The dark clouds hanging over her head disappeared in an instant!
She really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times.
Otherwise, it would not be enough to express my inner excitement.
However, as an emperor, she was naturally extra cautious and wanted to see the old eunuch up close and say it again to confirm whether he was lying.
However, she was so excited that she didn't pay attention to her steps. She was lightly tripped by the hem of the dragon robe and fell to the side of the dragon chair on the spot.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Nangong Wan'er and other female officials who were standing by her side quickly supported her, otherwise the Queen would have to make a fool of herself today.
The queen didn't care, and quickly ran to the old eunuch, grabbed the old eunuch's arm with both hands, looked into his eyes and ordered: "Say it again."
The old eunuch was almost stunned. Was the queen too excited? His arm even hurt slightly from being scratched by the Queen... But he did not hesitate and repeated what he had just said.
What he didn't know was that just now, just above this hall, the empress who he regarded as aloof had been manipulated by the Shu envoys!
Now that the problem was solved, Su Xian indeed "conjured" four million stones of grain out of thin air.
No longer have to endure the blackmail and rudeness of Shu envoys.
And the Queen herself doesn’t have to endure the teasing and humiliation of Emperor Shu!
Given all the factors, how could the Queen not be excited?
The queen stared at the old eunuch's eyes the whole time. After identifying it herself, she was sure that the old eunuch was not lying.
So... that is to say, Su Xian really found... four million stones of grain under the ruins of Hanjiacang City!
Gosh!
The queen covered her heart, which was as big as a melon, with her heart beating wildly. She now had food, a full four million stones, and no longer had to buy it from Shu!
Recalling the experience of being manipulated by the Shu envoy to the point of ecstasy, the Queen felt that she had been lifted from hell to heaven in an instant. She was ready to agree to the Emperor Shu's rude request and redeem her food with her body!
In the end, Su Xian gave her a big surprise!
"Is this true?"
Princess Lanling's charming face was extremely serious and dignified, staring at the old eunuch.
The other prime ministers, including Liu Shizhong, Qian Zhongshu, Shaosikou, He Fuyin, etc., also stared at him.
The old eunuch said loudly:
"Reporting to the princess and gentlemen, this matter is absolutely true. This slave is the warehouse governor of Hanjiacang City. I witnessed with my own eyes the entire process of the discovery of the underground granary by the Marquis of Fanyang County. If this slave's statement is false, I will be tortured to death with a thousand knives. !”
"..."
"Really..." Princess Lanling's heart suddenly became hot. There is no doubt that Su Xian has made another shocking achievement. Especially after being manipulated by the Shu envoys, Su Xian's achievements have become so precious and great!
"Four million stones!"
The prime ministers were greatly surprised, staring and opening their mouths, feeling incredible.
However, there are also people in the hall who don't really believe it.
For example, the envoys of Shu.
For example, Qian Zhongshu.
After the queen was excited for a while, she suddenly turned to look at the old eunuch and asked:
"How did Su Aiqing discover those four million stones of grain?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. This servant is here just on the order of the Marquis to ask Your Majesty to move. Once you go to Hanjiacang City and see it in person, Your Majesty will naturally understand!"
The Queen was high-spirited and energetic. She waved her big hand and commanded:
"Let's go to Hanjiacang City! All my dear friends, please come with us."
"I obey the order."
The queen turned to look at the Shu envoy who was wearing a black python robe, raised her eyebrows and asked: "Your Majesty, is the python robe comfortable to wear? Your Majesty, please go with the delegation from Hanjiacang City!"
The Shu envoy was no longer as arrogant as before, but he still replied arrogantly: "Okay!"
He actually didn't believe that the Marquis of Fanyang County discovered four million stones of grain. All this was just a show arranged by Daliang!
