Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

During the morning meeting held every three days, the emperor looked at Wen Xiuyi in disbelief and asked, "Uncle Wen Chang, are you serious?"

Wen Xiuyi knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am serious. In a bitter and cold place like the north, the food harvest has always been the biggest problem. I admit that I am worried about my son, but I also want to take advantage of this. I’ll take the opportunity to go to the north and see if there is any way to solve the food dilemma in the north.”

The silence in the court hall was terrifying.

The emperor looked at Wen Xiuyi, and then at his silly brother, and saw that he could hardly hide the admiration for Wen Xiuyi in his eyes.

After a while, the emperor said: "On behalf of the people in the north, thank you."

The emperor was lying when he said he was not moved. After so many years, he knew how miserable the environment in the north was. The people there could barely make ends meet and had enough to eat, let alone live a good life.

But it was a place like that that the imperial court could not give up. It was the gate of the country.

In the north, a pound of grain can sell for a sky-high price. Although the court has been controlling grain prices, many people still go hungry every year.

If Wen Xiuyi can really solve the food dilemma in the north, it will be a great good thing for Annan, the people, and him.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for your permission to accompany Wen Changbo to the northern border." Marquis Yongchang walked out from among the idle marquises and knelt on the main hall, tall and straight, with a solemn expression.

His Xia family has been guarding the Northern Territory for many years. No one knows better than him how miserable the people in the Northern Territory are. Wen Changbo took the initiative to mention in the court today that he would go to the Northern Territory to see if he could improve the food supply of the Northern Territory people. Dilemma.

Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, Marquis Yongchang will remember Wen Changbo's love.

Therefore, even though he had not set foot in the Northern Territory for so many years, Marquis Yongchang decided to take this trip in person to send Uncle Wen Chang to the Northern Territory and, by the way, see his son and grandchildren.

The appearance of Yongchang Marquis moved the military generals, and several more military generals stood up and expressed their willingness to escort Wen Changbo to the north.

The emperor looked at them. For some reason, his eyes were sore.

He waved his hand and looked at Marquis Yongchang: "Marquis Yongchang, you are old. I will definitely make arrangements to escort Wen Changbo to the north, so don't go."

If it weren't for his old age and the hidden illness he suffered on the battlefield, Yongchang Hou would not have retired from the battlefield so early and returned to the capital to be an idle prince.

The emperor was grateful for the Xia family's loyalty, so he would naturally treat Marquis Yongchang favorably.

It's just that Marquis Yongchang is getting older, and he is afraid that he will not be able to bear the long journey to the north.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Yongchang insisted: "Your Majesty, I'm fine, I beg your Majesty to allow me to go with you." After saying that, he kowtowed heavily on the hall.

There was a thud that made people tremble when they heard it.

Wen Xiuyi lowered his head, quietly tugged on his sleeve, and whispered: "Old man Xia, what are you doing? Come with me at your age. If something happens along the way, I'm afraid that you will The general's son raised a knife and chopped it with me."

Marquis Yongchang also lowered his head and whispered: "He dares."

Wen Xiuyi glanced secretly at the emperor above, and then whispered: "Really, stop following me when you get older."

During this period of time together, Wen Xiuyi became familiar with them, so naturally he didn't need to be so polite when speaking.

Marquis Yongchang waved his hand, pulled his paws away, and whispered: "Don't think I am so much older than you, but my body is stronger than yours. I will accompany you if I say I will go with you. Why do I talk so much."

The two of them were muttering in the main hall. Not to mention the emperor, even the officials nearby noticed it.

Only two of them thought they were hiding and disguising themselves well.

King Fu kept winking at the two of them, but they couldn't see him.

The emperor had no choice but to cover his mouth and cough, and then the two of them lowered their heads again.

"In this case, I will allow Marquis Yongchang to accompany Wen Changbo. Where is the commander of the imperial army?" The emperor looked at everyone.

Commander Liu Ying, who was in charge of the imperial army, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am here."

The emperor looked at the two kneeling people and then said slowly: "You dispatch five hundred forbidden troops to escort Yongchang Hou and Wen Changbo to the north."

"I obey the order." Commander Liu immediately accepted the order.

The emperor looked at the two men again and asked, "I'm going to the north. What do you two have to ask for?"

This is enough to ask them if they want any privileges.

King Fu quickly winked at Wen Xiuyi, but Wen Xiuyi didn't understand.

He looked at Marquis Yongchang next to him and asked in a low voice: "Can I still make a request?"

Yongchang Hou: "..." After all, he is a newcomer who has never been in the capital.

He whispered: "Your Majesty is giving you the opportunity to make requests." Then he came closer and whispered: "For example, some privileges or something."

Wen Xiuyi thought about it, he was a farmer. Even if he went there, he would only be farming. It seems that he wouldn't be able to use any privileges, right?

"No, no?" Wen Xiuyi looked at the emperor, thought for a while and then said, "Can I bring my family?"

The emperor was stunned, family members? As far as he knew, Wen Changbo was single and had no family.

No, I have a daughter.

The emperor suddenly looked at King Fu, his eyes seeming to say: What? Your future daughter-in-law will also go? Won't you stop me? That's the northern border.

King Fu curled his lips, not only would his future daughter-in-law go, but his own son would also go with him.

Really, woo woo, he wants to go too.

Yaoyao is gone and there is nothing good to eat.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Wen Xiuyi continued: "My daughter has never left my side since she was a child, and she is also worried about her brother, so she wants to go with me. Your Majesty, can you take me with you?"

He doesn't understand, so he might as well ask directly to avoid violating any taboos.

The ministers in the main hall were speechless. This was the first time they met such a stupid person. If you want your daughter to go, just go. No one would say anything if you secretly took your daughter away. You even directly asked Your Majesty, who is the country? The bumpkin who came down had never seen the world.

The emperor hesitated. The girl was gone. What would happen to his steel? He hasn't figured out how to use the steel yet.

But looking at Wen Xiuyi's sincere eyes, the emperor couldn't say any words of rejection. The main reason was that his daughter belonged to someone else, and if he wanted to take her to the north, even the emperor couldn't control her.

Saying that female relatives are not allowed to go to the battlefield? The girls of the Xia family can go into battle with spears to kill the enemy. It is nonsense to say that female relatives are not allowed to go to the battlefield.

"Don't you have any other requests?" The emperor was also anxious. Why didn't this man know how to seize the opportunity?

Wen Xiuyi thought for a moment and shook his head: "No more."

emperor:"……"

Forget it, he's new here, it's his first time as an official, forgive him.

"In this case, I will give you an imperial edict. After arriving in the north, local officials must cooperate as much as possible with all matters related to growing grain in the north. Anyone who violates the edict will be disobeying the edict. As for your daughter, you can take it with you if you want. ." After saying that, the emperor looked at Yongchang Hou and said: "I remember that girl Lan Xin is also in the north. Then let her take more care of Wen Changbo's daughter."

Marquis Yongchang: "I obey the decree."
