Journey to Heaven: Kamen Rider’s Journey to Immortality

Time flies, three days have passed in a blink of an eye, at this time a pound of rice has been fried to a sky-high price, in order to appease the people, the emperor had to open the other two granaries, but the royal granaries are stored with some precious ingredients, not at all, and the military granaries because of the previous army to recruit a lot, can not last a few days.

The people of the capital are no better than ordinary people, either the emperor's relatives or famous families, they are usually used to luxury, and suddenly they have changed from delicacies from mountains and seas to coarse tea and light rice, how can they stand it, so they have jointly written to the government to ask the government to send more food.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there any way to do it? The Yingzhou army will soon be in the city, but now that the city is in such a situation, we will be defeated without a fight without the enemy attacking the city. "

In the past few days, Emperor Liu Jian can be said to be a big head, and in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the royal granary is about to be emptied, but this is just a drop in the bucket.

"Your Majesty, for this time, the only way to do this is to put the grain from the military granary into the market to solve the urgent need. Ai Qian bowed to Liu Jian, buried his head under his hands, and said with a greedy look on his face: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, give these grains to Weichen, and Weichen will definitely be able to make careful calculations to block the mouths of Youyou."

According to Ai Qian's character of "reaching out in the coffin - asking for money for death", after he gets the grain, he will first sell it to his comrades at a low price, and then let his comrades sell the grain at a high price through the black market.

"No!" Huangfu Hero and Ai Qian have been fighting for many years, and they have already figured out the other party's means, how can they let him get his way, Ai Qian has not yet finished speaking, and he stepped forward and retorted: "Now the army of Yingzhou will come to the city soon, if the military rations are deducted, it will cause the army to have no fighting spirit, and it will be dangerous at that time."

Ai Qian glanced at it and said lightly: "Oh, then I don't know what the Protector has planned?" Huangfu

Hero stroked his long beard and said: "Weichen heard that the grain merchants in the capital are hoarding goods and selling them at a price, driving up prices, and even selling grain at a price of ten or twenty times in the black market, which is extremely hateful, and the granary fire is not accidental, there must be a traitor in the court, and it must be found out." A

cold light shot out of the eyes of the Huangfu hero, and he could see that Ai Qian and the others had lost two of their three souls, and their seven souls had lost four souls:" Wei Chen thought that the imperial court should confiscate the assets of these merchants who made a fortune, and at the same time lower the price of food to maintain social stability, and at the same time transfer the army outside to King Qin, although there is not much food left in the capital, but the thrift can still support the arrival of reinforcements, and when the reinforcements arrive, Wei Chen will lead the troops to drive out the thieves, and then catch the traitors in the court, and break their bodies into thousands of pieces.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible.

Ai Qian immediately jumped out when he heard this, and many other court officials also spoke out against it.

First of all, it was Ai Qian and his comrades who sold grain at a high price in the black market, and in just three days, Ai Qian personally earned thousands of taels of silver, and his comrades were also full of harvest, such an opportunity to make a windfall, how could these moths and rats give up so easily.

In the past, the household department headed by Li Yushan took the lead in distributing the grain in the granary to other ministries, secretly smuggling it out at a high price on the black market, and after the new grain was put into storage, the sold grain was reported to the imperial court at the price of the old grain, so as to earn the price difference. Reselling the country's grain storage is a crime of deception, and the nine clans will be punished, but with the help of Xiangguo Ai Qian and the protection of officials and officials, no one found out in the private camp of the party camp, and even became more and more crazy, and even tried to get involved in military rations.

This time, because of the war, which led to a food crisis, Ai Qian and the conspiracy of Ai Qian and others were exposed, although Ai Qian used the method of burning the warehouse with a fire dragon to temporarily hide the sky and cover up the past, but if it is really investigated, he will always find some clues, and finally find the initiator along the vine, which is not what Ai Qian wants to see, so what he has to do now is to drag out the time, the longer the delay, the better, and finally the big thing will turn into a small thing.

But if the Huangfu hero transfers the front-line army back, it will not be good, the army is full of supporters of the Huangfu hero, once they come back, then Ai Qian's voice in the court will be reduced, and if the Huangfu hero quickly repels the Yingzhou army, then he will definitely start to investigate the granary fire, after all, the Huangfu hero found out that something was wrong when he was on the scene, if this is the case, then with the prestige of the Huangfu hero and the support of the generals in the army, Ai Qian will die, so he must not let the front-line army come back to King Qin.

Ai Qian said excitedly: "Your Majesty, not to mention that the Yingzhou army will come to the city soon, and the soldiers of the expedition to Jiangnan will not come at all for a while and a half, this is far from quenching the thirst, and now is a critical period with the Wu State, once the front line of the withdrawal will be collapsed, when the time comes, the Wu State will destroy Shanghai, and the two countries of Vietnam are pouring the whole country's troops to come, so what should I do?"

Zhao Jin also followed and said: "Yingzhou is just a group of rabble, taking advantage of the emptiness of my Donglan army to launch a surprise attack, but they are not afraid of the lack of follow-up after crossing the ocean, but Wu Guobing is rich in materials and materials, compared with the two, Yingzhou is just a jackal, Wu is a tiger and a leopard, please think twice."

Then Ai Qian made a look, and Li Yushan took a step forward and said: " What Lord Xiangguo said is extremely true, the lower government is responsible for managing the grain, the granary was burned and the ministers are also heartbroken, if Your Majesty wants to be punished, the ministers have no complaints, but now the people in the capital are panicking, although some people raise prices but it is also understandable, at least the people still have a place to buy food not to despair, but once the court suppresses it, those businessmen hide the grain, that is afraid it will provoke the people to revolt, so now we can only maintain the status quo, this is the minister's heartfelt words, I hope Your Majesty will think twice.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. "

A group of officials knelt down in unison and begged the emperor not to recall the army, for the reason that it was self-evident that they were all involved in the resale of grain and grass, and if they were exposed, they would die without a place to bury.

When the hero of Huangfu heard this, he was furious, and he shouted like a thunderclap: "Hmph, if this is the case, it is simply drinking to quench thirst, and it cannot solve the problem of food shortage at all."

Ai Qian rolled his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a plan to solve this crisis."

Liu Jian was overjoyed and asked, "Aiqing speak quickly."

Ai Qian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although the capital is short of grain, but you can transfer grain from other cities, I remember that there is still a lot of grain in Lianyungang, let's just transfer some from Lianyungang?"

"

Donglan country is not big, except for the capital, there is only a small city at the junction with the south of the Yangtze River, the others are port cities, Donglan's grain in addition to self-cultivation is all obtained by trade, of which Lianyungang is the largest grain trade port, so there is indeed a lot of grain there, but the problem is that now the coastal area has been controlled by the Yingzhou army, although the port has not been captured, but it has also been surrounded by water, and the grain cannot come out at all.

Ai Qian laughed and said: "This is not simple, isn't it okay for Lord Huguo to take a troop out of the city and open up the grain road? General Huangfu is my Donglan God of War, are you still afraid that the Yingzhou army will not succeed?" Huangfu

Hero shook his head and said: "No, this is too risky, what if the old man leads the troops out of the city and the Yingzhou army attacks the city?

Liu Jian had no choice but to agree to Huangfu Hero's suggestion, which completely plunged Ai Qian and his party into fear and despair.

Xiangguo Mansion.

"Lord Ai, how is this good, if the Emperor Fu hero investigates the fire in the granary, then we will die.

"And with the support of those generals, we have no chance of winning.

"Those people must not be allowed to come back. Ai

Qian and his party are chattering and making a mess, now they are really afraid, especially Li Yushan, the whole person is pale, his soul is not possessed, he is the head of the household, he is the first person responsible, and he must be the first to bear the brunt.

Ai Qian Mian Frost shouted: "Okay, don't quarrel, the old man has his own way."

Ai Qian's face sank and he said with a cold look: "Old fellow, since you want me to die, then I won't let you live." "

Late at night, the study was brightly lit.

"Ai Aiqing, what other important things do

you have to enter the palace at this late hour, and you still have to tell me alone?" Ai Qian said to Liu Jian with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to tell Your Majesty, this matter is related to Guozuo, and I hope Your Majesty will not be excited."

Liu Jian frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, it's so serious."

Ai Qian attached to Liu Jian's ear and lowered his voice and said: "The minister heard that the protector of the country has a heart of disobedience and wants to plot to usurp the throne.

Liu Jian was shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed impossible: "The Protector is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is loyal to Donglan, how could he do such a big rebellious thing, who is spreading rumors, and it will be strictly investigated immediately."

Ai Qian also pretended to have an expression of disbelief and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen didn't dare to believe this matter at first, but seeing this series of abnormal behaviors of the Protector recently, Wechen also had to be suspicious."

"Abnormal, why don't I think, Ai Qian, that you should frame him because the Lord Protector objected to your proposal today.

Hearing this, Ai Qian showed a frightened expression and knelt down and said: "Although the minister has a gap with General Huangfu, it is also for Donglan, and he will never talk nonsense."

Seeing Ai Qian crying bitterly with a handful of snot and tears, Liu Jian was also suspicious, so he helped Ai Qian up: "Ai Aiqing, is there any misunderstanding, you tell me."

Seeing that Liu Jian was a little shaken, Ai Qian was overjoyed, although he still hesitated on the surface, he had actually prepared his words in his heart.
