Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

"Aunt Yuan, I was wrong." Xu Ning looked into Xu Yuan's gentle eyes and a relieved smile slowly appeared on his face, as if he had put down a heavy burden.

As soon as Pei Yongjun returned to his room, he hurriedly wrote two urgent letters and sent them to the capital at night. One letter was to the emperor, and the other was to Jiang Yan.

Pei Yongjun originally planned to write another letter to the Pei family, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Jiang Yan's letter should be delivered faster than Baili Express, so he decided to ask Jiang Yan to help convey it.

After he finished writing the letter, he immediately began to organize his army.

The news of the emergency and the solution to the plague arrived almost at the same time. At first, the emperor thought that there was a new problem with the plague and was very nervous. However, when he opened the letter, he found that this was a problem much more serious than the plague, so he immediately ordered the ministers to enter the palace overnight.

"Your Majesty, what happened that made you summon him overnight?" A minister asked the eunuch who was leading the way. Unfortunately, the eunuch didn't know, and even if he did, he didn't dare to reveal it easily.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, you will know soon." A minister comforted him.

"Yes, I'm just worried that something might have gone wrong at the border."

"Is it the plague in the south?"

"When will this natural and man-made disaster end?"

……

"Stop talking, we'll be there soon."

"See your majesty, long live your majesty!"

"My dear minister, please stand up. Come, please give me a seat!"

"My dear ministers, please take a look at these two letters. One of them was sent back by Minister Pei in an urgent manner after traveling a hundred miles." When the emperor mentioned Minister Pei, his eyes flickered. In fact, he had known the news long ago. It was sent by his nephew Jiang Yan.

"My dear ministers, the plague has been resolved." The emperor said, and the ministers below finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they immediately heard their emperor sigh and said in a heavy tone: "But something more terrible than the plague has appeared."

The first minister who received the letter quickly finished reading it. When he handed it to the next minister, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were trembling violently, and even his voice was shaking, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

The emperor glanced at him and thought to himself, I am braver than him.

The next minister was impatient. When he saw Pei Yongjun write about the cannibals, his eyes widened immediately. His jaw dropped in shock and he shouted anxiously, "What! There are cannibals, and there are signs of them coming ashore! Oh my god! The Minister of Agriculture said that the cannibals are sick! If they are infected, they can't be saved!!!"

Upon hearing this, the other ministers became extremely anxious. They all stood up and rushed over to read the letter. For a moment, the court was in chaos.

"Cannibals?! What cannibals?!"

"Oh my God! God wants to kill me..." The minister was covered his mouth by the ministers around him before he could finish his words.

“Ooooooooooooo, that’s horrible!”

"Your Majesty. Is what General Pei said true?!"

"How can these demons exist?"

"What should I do?"

When these civil officials saw the cannibals were about to come ashore, they were so frightened that their minds went blank. Many of them even didn't finish reading Pei Yongjun's request for support to attack the cannibals.

Later, a general couldn't stand it anymore. He snatched the letter and read it, and shouted: "Why are you so anxious? General Pei didn't say anything. Did he ask His Majesty to send reinforcements to attack? The cannibals haven't even landed yet! You are so scared that you are pissing your shit. Are you still a man?"

It was his shout that awakened the ministers from their fear.

They all looked at the emperor.

The emperor was a little scared at first, but he was the ruler of a country after all, so he managed to stay calm. However, he did not expect that his ministers, who usually made the loudest noises, would be so cowardly.

He said: "My dear ministers, this matter is of great importance. I need you to discuss it."

The ministers in the court looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

The general looked at them with disdain, cursing these cowardly guys in his heart. He was so frightened that he thought the border had been breached.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should follow General Pei's advice and send the nearby navy to clean up the cannibals first. If these cannibals are really difficult to deal with, we can send reinforcements." A civil official suggested. The emperor felt a little comforted when he saw that not all of the civil officials were so scared that their minds went blank.

But before the emperor could even open his mouth, he heard the general yelling at him: "Bullshit, what kind of people are those marines? They can't even wipe out ordinary pirates. I'm afraid the cannibals will be as scared as you when they hear about it! Your Majesty, just send us!"

"You..." The civil official was so angry that his face turned red, but he had nothing to say. After all, what the military general said was true.

"What do you mean! Am I wrong? There has just been a flood in the south. How many naval forces can be used now? Do you want to tire them to death? Also, you always say that we are brainless. Have you ever used your brains to think about it now?" The general glared at him with eyes as big as copper bells and retorted without showing any weakness.

The emperor watched the two quarreling until their faces turned red, and sighed helplessly, secretly sighing that these ministers usually liked to argue endlessly, and were no exception at critical moments. But he also understood that what the general said was true. Now that the south was flooded, the sea army was indeed weak.

At this time, another civil official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, although the cannibals are terrible, they may not be impossible to deal with. We can first send some elite troops to investigate the situation. If they can be dealt with, that would be the best. If not, we can make other plans. In this way, we will not overwork the army and ensure the safety of the country."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly to show his agreement. He knew that the civil official was right, so he decided to adopt this suggestion. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Your Majesty, no!" Everyone turned their heads and saw a white-haired old official tremblingly walking in.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Humph, if I don't come, I'm afraid you will all be deceived by that kid named Qin!"

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked towards the door, only to see the old tutor walking in with an angry look on his face, followed by some officials.

"I see your Majesty."

As soon as the old tutor came in, he knelt down to pay his respects, and the others also knelt down to pay their respects.

The emperor quickly extended his hand and said, "Taifu, please stop being polite!"

As he was about to help the old tutor up, a minister immediately stopped him and asked, "Master, what did you mean?"

In the past, the Grand Tutor and the Minister of Agriculture Qin Wen had some dirty deeds in private, and the emperor and other ministers knew all about it. However, the news brought back by Pei Yong’s army could not be false, so how could the Minister of Agriculture lie to them?

The emperor and his ministers were all puzzled.
