Chapter 143 This is a green hat for the scumbag
Han Yiyi followed Nangong Yuan back to Yanlang City. Along the way, the two little guys did not get out of Nangong Yuan's arms.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Han Yiyi was a little suspicious. Was the original owner cheating on that scumbag Fan? Otherwise, why did these two children look so much like Nangong Yuan?
Han Yiyi actually recalled carefully the original owner's memory in this regard and confirmed that the original owner did not know Nangong Yuan, so she could only regard this as a coincidence.
Ye Yi and Ye Er have also reported the current situation in Kyoto to Nangong Yuan.
Now, for some unknown reason, Emperor Beichen has not attended court for more than a month. The food and fodder prepared by the Ministry of Revenue was said to have been sent to the border half a month ago, but Ye Yi and Ye Er rushed all the way to Shaoyang Mountain and did not see any team transporting food and fodder.
The Nangong family had previously transported a batch of grain and grass, and later saw that the Ministry of Revenue had also arranged for grain and grass to be shipped out of the city. They thought that there was enough grain and grass at the border, so they did not continue to prepare.
After all, the last preparation had almost used up most of the Nangong family's assets. If the Nangong family continued to prepare, I am afraid that all the family assets would be lost.
Nangong Yuan learned that Emperor Beichen had not attended court for more than a month, and his eyes were full of gloom. At this time, their 200,000 soldiers had been drinking rice soup for three or four days in a row. Even the rice for making the rice soup was collected by Nangong Yuan from the surrounding towns.
But if the military rations do not arrive, I am afraid that within three days, the army will not even have rice soup to drink.
If Dongli attacked the city at this time, the soldiers would not have the strength to defend Yanlang City.
"You saw with your own eyes the Ministry of Revenue's grain transport team leaving Kyoto..."
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes..."
After hearing the two's answers, Nangong Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Since the team had already left Kyoto, it was impossible for them to return. They must have been hiding somewhere.
Presumably, the Beichen man who colluded with Dongli has reached an agreement with the Dongli people. Once they are out of food and completely lose their combat effectiveness, Dongli can attack the city.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yuan frowned again. Could it be that the man was willing to hand over Yanlang City to Dongli for his own selfish desire?
At this time, Nangong Yuan was also worried that Dongli would attack the city at this time, so he not only increased the defense, but also sent a hundred elite soldiers, led by Ye Yi and Ye Er, all the way back to Kyoto to inspect the whereabouts of military supplies.
He then wrote several more letters and asked the messengers to deliver them to the capital as quickly as possible. However, since the Dongli people who were ambushing in Shaoyang Mountain were all killed, the letters could no longer be intercepted.
Before Ye Yilin set off, he glanced at the two little guys who had been surrounding Nangong Yuan, opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed it.
He thought that the issue of military rations was extremely urgent, and the life stories of the two little guys could not be explained in a few words, so he thought of waiting until the military rations were transported back before telling his general.
At this time in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Emperor Beichen was lying on the dragon bed with his eyes closed, while the two people beside him were doing things in front of him that made people blush and heartbeat as if no one was around.
Hearing the sounds coming from the inner room, the palace maids and eunuchs outside the hall all lowered their heads with expressionless faces, not daring to get close, let alone make a sound.
A quarter of an hour later, the man stood up with a satisfied look on his face. He glanced at Emperor Beichen on the dragon bed, his eyes full of provocation and ridicule. Then he slapped him in the face and spoke.
"Humph, so what if he's the emperor? He still has to watch me make love with his most beloved woman right in front of him..."
The woman waited for the man to stand up, then she straightened her clothes. The blush on her face had not yet faded, and she looked lazy as she spoke.
"Okay, you are the best. When this is done, this position will be yours. Why are you getting angry with a loser now? How about you hide the military rations from the Ministry of Revenue..."
The woman who was speaking was none other than Ye Li, a spy from Dongli, and the man was Prince Yong'an.
Prince Yong'an is the youngest son of the late emperor and the half-brother of Emperor Beichen. In the past, he showed himself to be just an idle prince with no knowledge or skills. Unexpectedly, he had such ambitions. When he heard Ye Li's words, he curled the corners of his mouth and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Of course, you can rest assured about this. The Minister of Revenue is my man now. Nangong Yuan will definitely not be able to find those grains and fodder..."
Hearing Prince Yong'an's words, a hint of sarcasm quickly flashed across Ye Li's eyes. He thought to himself that the person in front of him was indeed an uneducated fool as the outside world said.
Without food and grass, Nangong Yuan of Yanlang City will definitely not be able to withstand it. As long as Dongli takes Yanlang City and kills Nangong Yuan, the Dongli army can march straight in and attack Beichen Kyoto directly. Poor man in front of him, he is still dreaming of becoming the emperor here.
It turned out that Dongli people had previously confirmed that Nangong Yuan was not dead, so they wrote to Ye Li asking him to make some changes to his military rations.
But no matter how favored she was, she was just a concubine. How could she be in charge of the military rations? Originally, she used her charm to confuse Emperor Beichen, and the preparation of military rations was indeed delayed for some time, which also caused dissatisfaction among the ministers in the Xu Dynasty.
Moreover, after those ministers were imprisoned one after another, Emperor Beichen actually showed signs of wanting to break away from her charm. She had no choice but to knock Emperor Beichen unconscious, and then she went to find Prince Yong'an.
Ye Li believed that there was no man in this world who did not want to be emperor, especially those from the royal family, so the two reached a cooperation.
Ye Li promised that as long as the Yong'an King Gang could organize the transportation of food and grass to Yanlang City, and the Dongli people took over Yanlang City, Dongli would support them to sit on the throne of Emperor Beichen.
However, what Ye Li didn't know was that Prince Yong'an was not as simple as he imagined. He didn't believe at all the promise made by the Dongli people that they would support him to become the Emperor of Beichen after they took over Dongli.
But he still used some tricks to turn the Minister of Revenue into his man, hid the military rations and did not send them to Yanlang City. His purpose was to let everyone know that Yanlang City was lost in the hands of such a Beichen Emperor, and it was because of the instigation of the Dongli spy Ye Li.
Yes, Prince Yong'an had already made a plan at this time. After Nangong Yuan's army was defeated and Dongli attacked Yanlang City, he would capture Ye Li and then send troops to drive Dongli out of Yanlang City.
By then, he would be able to naturally take the throne of Emperor Beichen.
As for the people of Yanlang City and Beichen soldiers who died during this period, that was not within his consideration at all.
Thinking of this, the corners of Prince Yong'an's mouth couldn't help but rise. Looking at the charming and beautiful woman in front of him, he actually pulled her into his arms again...
