Now that we have the silver, and a large number of supplies have been urgently purchased from the surrounding counties, what needs to be urgently arranged now is who will deliver the supplies and silver.
When Zheng Zhongshi of the Ministry of Revenue saw the silver, he finally stopped being an ostrich and was the first to stand up in the court and say, "Now that Prince Pei has recovered, this trip is a big responsibility. Sending Prince Pei to escort the supplies to Jiangnan will ensure that nothing goes wrong."
After Pei Yi recovered, Emperor Jingde allowed Pei Yi to resume attending court meetings. Now he is standing in the court and participating in discussions on disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River.
When Pei Yi heard that Zheng Zhongshi actually recommended him to escort the supplies, he raised his eyelids slightly to glance at Zheng Zhongshi, then lowered his eyelids nonchalantly. Knowing that this man was a member of the prince's party, he couldn't help but think more about whether there was a trap here.
However, Zheng Zhongshi's proposal was obviously seconded by many ministers. The amount of silver being escorted to the south of the Yangtze River was huge, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The bandits along the way would definitely wait for an opportunity to strike. Pei Yi, who had battlefield experience, was indeed the most suitable person to escort the troops.
Emperor Jingde considered it and agreed.
At this time, He Kun hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend the King of Qin to escort the disaster relief silver and supplies to the south of the Yangtze River."
The King of Qin was somewhat puzzled. Why did his grandfather drag him along to do this tough job?
He Kun gave him a look, telling him to be patient, as there must be a reason for him to do so.
After hearing this, Emperor Jingde asked the King of Qin, "King of Qin, are you willing to take the trouble to make this journey?"
The King of Qin nodded and said, "For the sake of the people and the country, I am willing to do this."
Emperor Jingde was very happy when he heard this, and immediately agreed to let the King of Qin and Pei Yi go to the south of the Yangtze River together.
When Pei Yi left court that day, he brought back the imperial edict, ordering him to escort supplies to Jiangnan, and asked him to bring people to the Ministry of Revenue to count the supplies and relief silver the next day, and to lead the team to set off the day after tomorrow.
Xie Zhichan propped his chin on his hand, looking at the imperial edict that Pei Yi had placed on the table, and then looked at Pei Yi again and asked, "Is it really the prince's party who first recommended you?"
Pei Yi sat at the table and took a sip of hot tea.
As soon as he got off work, he hurried back to Tingxue Ju to discuss the matter with Xie Zhichan.
Xie Zhichan pointed at the bright yellow imperial edict and said, "The prince lost the Luo family's treasury, so he must be short of money. Is he planning to steal the disaster relief money?"
Pei Yi frowned and said, "It's not impossible. On the one hand, I can get some relief money, and on the other hand, I can be punished for failing to escort the relief money."
Xie Zhichan said: "If it is true, then he really disregards the lives of the people of the world for his own selfish interests. He must not sit in that position."
Pei Yi nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but move closer to Xie Zhichan, resting his head on Xie Zhichan's shoulder like a big dog, muttering, "What should I do? There are villains who want to harm your husband——"
Xie Zhichan cooperated and patted the big dog's head, comforting him: "Don't be afraid, your wife will protect you."
Pei Yi's mouth curled up, he let her go, stared into her eyes and smiled: "My lady, how are you going to protect me?"
Xie Zhichan pushed Pei Yi's head away, stood up and said, "The hermit has a brilliant plan."
Pei Yi sighed: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for——"
-
At the same time, the East Palace.
Zheng Zhongshi stood in the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace, bowed and reported to Crown Prince Li Er: "Your Highness, I have recommended Pei Yi as the person to escort the supplies according to your instructions. The emperor has also ordered Pei Yi to be in charge of the escort of the supplies. He will set off the day after tomorrow."
Li Er walked down from the hall, patted Zheng Zhongshi on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Minister Zheng. You have done a great job."
After that, he said with a gleam in his eyes: "I want to see how Pei Yi escapes the net I have set this time."
Zheng Zhongshi said: "But the King of Qin is also in the team escorting the supplies this time. Will the King of Qin be hurt?"
The prince said bitterly, "I was confined because of that bitch Defei. It would be best if her son died on the way to Jiangnan. Then who will compete with me for the position of crown prince? Don't think that with Pei Yi on this trip, her son will be safe. Who made him so anxious to grab a piece of the pie?"
Zheng Zhongshi replied: "This is what is meant by man's plans are inferior to God's plans. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the God of the future."
Li Er laughed loudly and said, "Minister Zheng is right! I am the future of the Jin Dynasty. If anyone dares not to obey me, I will make him die miserably."
In Fangfei Palace, Concubine De also heard about the previous dynasty and asked Qin Wang Li Jiao: "Can your grandfather really guarantee your safety on the road?"
Li Jiao sat carelessly on the beauty couch, grabbed a grape from the fruit bowl beside her and threw it into her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, she said, "Mother, my grandfather and uncle have promised that Pei Yi will kill Turks in the northern border without hesitation. For this escort, my father has specially allowed Pei Yi to dispatch a thousand Pei family soldiers. Even if they are against bandits, no one can match Pei Yi and the Pei family soldiers. I will go with you, and I don't have to do anything. After I come back, I will have merits and reputation, and I can also go to see the young ladies in the water town of Jiangnan. Why not?"
Concubine De slapped her son on the head and scolded him, "After all, the bandits are thugs who talk with swords, and you still have the heart to think about young ladies! Aren't the young ladies in your house enough for you to look at? At the lotus viewing banquet hosted by the queen, I asked you to pay more attention to Zhao Qin. Did you listen to your mother? Speaking of which, the Pei family is not bad. After all, after the wedding at the end of the year, you will be Pei Yi's brother-in-law. Socialize with him more on the way. If you can get Pei Yi's support, you will be close to that position."
Li Jiao immediately stood up from the beauty couch, dodged his mother's slap and said, "Mother! How old am I, and you still hit me!"
Concubine De sat on the beauty couch and rolled her eyes at Li Jiao: "No matter how old you are, you are still my son. Don't you still need my mother to make plans for you?"
Li Jiao quickly picked a grape, peeled it and handed it to Concubine De, saying, "Yes, yes, mother loves her son the most, please eat the grape."
Concubine De ate the grapes and felt a little worried about her silly son. She just hoped that the girl from the Pei family was smart and could help him a little.
On the third day, no one knew what method Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi came up with, but a long line of people lined up at the palace gate, waiting for the military order to set off.
Xie Zhichan looked at the people in the team, Hua Manxi and Liu Yousi. It was understandable that these two were joining, but why was Li Jiao also in the team?
She waved to Pei Yi in the carriage, and Zhuiyun came over happily. It was now familiar with Xie Zhichan.
Pei Yi leaned over to the carriage and asked through the small window: "Ayuan, what's wrong?"
Xie Zhichan glanced in the direction of Li Jiao and said, "You didn't say he was also in the team. If something happens to this guy, how will you explain it to the emperor?"
Pei Yi glanced at Li Jiao and said to Xie Zhichan, "Don't worry, I will have someone keep an eye on him and have him change the waterway to Jiangnan halfway through the journey."
Xie Zhichan thought about it and decided that this was the only option.
At Pei Yi's command, a long line of Pei family soldiers escorted a convoy of vehicles and marched towards the south of the Yangtze River in a mighty manner.
