Chapter 313 Divination
Actually, this matter is quite interesting. The emperor really forgot about them.
Originally, the emperor was very anxious about this matter, but then Liu Rumei appeared.
After Liu Rumei appeared, she disciplined all the ministers in the court.
The emperor always felt that Liu Rumei's appearance was not accidental, it must be God's will.
Since God blesses Dayong, this battle will definitely be won.
There is a great general guarding outside, six ministers in the court working hard, and he is also practicing peacefully and doing his best. How could he lose?
The emperor is not careless, he just has no brains.
When Liu Rumei heard this question, she didn't know how to answer him. The emperor knew nothing, but the key point was that I knew.
"Why do you think the emperor named me a saint?"
General Zhang didn't know the answer, and he couldn't understand why the emperor would confer the title of Saint on a woman.
It was shocking enough that there was an imperial master in the court before, and now there is also a saint.
Does the emperor really want to practice Taoism and no longer want to care about the affairs of the court?
"I am really stupid and don't understand the emperor's mind."
“General Zhang, our emperor is devoted to cultivation, and he can make me a saint because I have the ability in this area.
In addition to detoxification, I can also tell fortunes. I calculated with my fingers in Kyoto and knew that your general was in great danger.
Your general is the backbone of our Dayong. If he really falls this time, we will not be able to win this war.
If we lose the war, countless people will be displaced, which is a tragedy for the world. I can't just sit back and watch this happen."
General Zhang felt like he was being fooled. Every word this girl said was sincere and heartfelt, but there were too many loopholes.
For example, is there really anyone who can tell fortunes?
Did she really calculate with her fingers and figure out that the general was in trouble?
And it just so happened that she was really good at detoxification!
This looks like a conspiracy no matter how you look at it!
Although he didn't want to doubt it, things were developing in this direction.
"Girl, can you really tell fortunes?"
Liu Rumei felt that being able to tell fortunes and being able to tell fortunes were two different things, but this general was obviously not very educated, so he thought they were the same thing.
"Do you want to do the math?"
"Hey, hey, is it okay?"
General Zhang actually wanted to see Liu Rumei's true abilities.
Xie Linfeng was a little curious. Could this girl really tell fortunes?
"Of course you can, but I have a rule that I never tell fortunes easily. If you want to have one, it will cost you money."
Although General Zhang was a little reluctant, he was really curious, so he took out one or two taels of silver.
"Then that's a problem, girl."
"No trouble, no trouble! It's just that my nickname is 'One Gua Qian Liang'. This one tael of silver is not enough. General, you have to prepare one thousand taels."
General Zhang: …
He silently took the one or two taels of silver back, as he couldn't afford the one thousand taels.
"Then forget it. My life is a mess. There is nothing to calculate."
He was also embarrassed to say that he was short of money. He couldn't even take out a hundred taels, let alone a thousand taels of silver.
Xie Linfeng was completely stunned. He didn't think Liu Rumei was asking for too much, but he was amazed that General Zhang was too poor.
He is the deputy general of the Zhenbei Army!
He has followed Prince Gong in his battles for so many years, but he doesn't even have a thousand taels in his hand?
Bah! He also felt that a thousand taels was not a small amount, but it shouldn't be so pitiful.
"General Zhang is a man of high moral character. I admire him very much. He has been a general for so many years and still maintains his original aspirations. General Zhang will surely have a good end."
Although there was no fortune-telling, these words touched General Zhang's heart.
He smiled in a naive way, then scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
“The general said that we fight to defend our country, not to get promoted or make money.
Therefore, whenever he got any silver, he would give as much as possible to his soldiers so that they could send the silver back home to keep their wives and children well fed and clothed.
In fact, the one who deserves the most admiration is our general. He took out most of the property of Prince Gong's Mansion and distributed it all to the wives and children of those fallen soldiers."
When he said this, General Zhang felt a little sad.
If the emperor gave them silver, the general would not have to subsidize them privately, and his life would not be so difficult.
Xie Linfeng was also very surprised when he heard the meaning of his words.
"Shouldn't the pension be provided by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War?"
General Zhang smiled helplessly and said, "Of course they should give it, but the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War always have various reasons.
We can wait, but the children and the elderly can’t, they are still hungry.”
Liu Rumei nodded. She understood what was going on.
The Ministry of Revenue was not so bold as to even give such a sum of money.
There is only one explanation: their petty-minded emperor must have been confused about this matter again.
"Don't worry, this won't happen again. Aren't the sons of the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War here now?"
When Liu Rumei asked this, General Zhang was stunned.
"Girl, who do you say is here?"
General Zhang felt that he had misheard, otherwise how could he hear such inexplicable words.
How come the sons of the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War are here?
Liu Rumei glanced at the other person and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"You mean they didn't arrive?"
"How could the sons of these two families come to the battlefield?"
Liu Rumei glanced at Xie Linfeng again, and at this moment, Xie Linfeng also realized that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty ordered that all the sons of the six ministers be sent to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but they dared to disobey your orders!"
General Zhang was stunned. This was impossible, absolutely impossible.
"General Xie, you are joking, right? Why did His Majesty issue such an imperial decree?
If those young masters go to the battlefield, how can they return alive? If they don’t find someone to protect them, they will die.”
Yes, if they don’t find someone to protect them, they will die.
Liu Rumei replied calmly: "Of course it's because of my suggestion. If they don't let their sons go to the battlefield, how can they work honestly in the court?
Let their sons fight on the battlefield, so that the military supplies and fodder will not be delayed."
Liu Rumei's words shocked General Zhang greatly.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually a good idea.
But who are the six ministers? They actually agreed.
"Didn't they cry or make a fuss, or threaten to die in the court?"
He was just curious about this. These six ministers are not easy to mess with. You want to send their sons to the battlefield, and they haven't fought you to the death?
“Of course he cried and made a fuss, but what’s the use of crying and making a fuss? A beating will do the trick.
People are like this. They will learn their lesson after a good lesson and send their sons out of Kyoto obediently.
But I didn't expect that they had such preparations. It seems that they had discussed it and thought that we would not come to the north, so they wanted to deal with it. "
Liu Rumei smiled, but Xie Linfeng knew that someone was about to be in trouble.
