"The Eastern Capital still has a population of 600,000 and 200,000 officers and soldiers. If we only provide relief to the victims and do not supply food and grass to the military, then 500,000 shi of food will be enough for ten months. It will be July now, that is,

It is said that it can be eaten until next year's autumn harvest. But the land near Dongdu has been barren, and there will be very little food to be harvested this autumn. Therefore, the two capitals must arrange for farming in winter."

"We can't live just by blackmailing Li Mi." Wen Tiren went with Qin Hu and was busy setting up a porridge shop, but he found that Luoyang was almost all disaster victims and there were no normal people.

"Ask sir, if I can take back Dongdu and prevent traitors from controlling the government, I will naturally take back Liyangcang. By then, the food shortage will be much better. If I fail, then I will not let the remaining three hundred thousand shi

If grain and grass enter the Eastern Capital, we will not even supply military rations to the Eastern Capital."

Qin Hu has been waiting for Yang Tong's reaction. His refusal to meet the emperor this time will definitely cause waves in the near future, and many people will jump out, especially Wang Shichong.

But there was no response that day.

In fact, Wang Shichong was already furious. Li Junxian returned empty-handed, which made him feel a huge crisis. He had already made arrangements to control Qin Hu's deployment as soon as he entered the city, but he did not expect Qin Hu to dare to openly resist the order.

All his plans fell through.

Wang Xuanshu said: "Father, don't worry too much. I don't believe that Qin Hu will never enter the palace to pay respects to the emperor. Then why does he come to the palace?"

Wang Shichong pondered and said: "I'm not saying that Qin Hu must die. As long as he obediently surrenders his military power, he can still live. What do you think we should do?"

Wang Xuanshu's idea is very simple. As long as Qin Hu dares to enter the palace, they can immediately control these thousands of troops, and then put Qin Hu under house arrest. Then it will be a situation of catching a turtle in a jar. So the top priority now is to set a trap for Qin Hu again and deceive him.

He went to the palace to see the emperor.

Wang Shichong suddenly rolled his eyes strangely: "By the way, did you give your sister the medicine she gave her?"

"She hasn't given it yet. We might as well ask her to persuade Qin Hu. If it doesn't work, give him medicine. But it seems better to have him alive than dead."

"Then I'll go see your sister." Wang Shichong stood up.

Wang Shichong was in full swing, and Wei Jin and the others were not idle either. Qin Hu's actions today really shocked them, so they all came over to persuade Qin Hu.

"Since Brother Qin came to the Eastern Capital, he did not go to see the emperor. This is unjustifiable." Wei Jin advised: "No matter what, we must not lose etiquette and follow the truth."

Qin Hu didn't hide anything and said directly: "It's not that I don't want to see the emperor, but I can't leave my deployment because I'm worried that someone will harm me. Although I haven't been in Dongdu during this period, I have been concerned about Wang Shichong's affairs.

It’s very clear. In fact, you know it better than me.”

Wei Jin coughed: "This is just a struggle for power within the imperial court. I think Wang Shichong has not dared to rebel yet. What can he do to you?"

"He doesn't dare to rebel because I still have the troops to restrain him. Once I get rid of him, what will he have to worry about? I won't be able to go."

"Well -" Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Jin looked at each other: "We advocated letting you enter the Eastern Capital. Originally, it seemed that we wanted to use your power to oust Wang Shichong and remove him from office. It is best for you to

Come to preside over the government, and only in this way, the Yu Dynasty may be able to revive from the ashes."

"So, you must have an audience with the emperor." Wei Jin said: "Do you think this will work? Part of the Zuo Yi Guards in charge of the palace guards is in my hands. The guards in the palace have always been Brother Huangfu is in charge, we will escort you into the palace, you can rest assured."

Huangfu Wuyi said: "Unless you also doubt us."

"Okay, since you say so, I will go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow."

Qin Hu knew that he could not delay for long, and the purpose of his coming was to seize power. There was no way he could get around Yang Tong, so he agreed.

After Wei Jin returned, he went directly to the palace to see Yang Tong. Yang Tong happily agreed to let Qin Hu come to see him tomorrow.

Wang Shichong didn't know about this at all at first, so when he saw Qin Hu outside Qianyang Palace, he was stunned.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is polite." Qin Hu hurriedly came over and held his hands.

Wang Shichong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly came over and took Qin Hu's hand affectionately: "Oh, Your Highness, King Yan, when did you enter the palace? I just saw Yuying yesterday and knew that you had entered the city, so I was thinking of going to the palace." I’m going to see you. But you haven’t met the emperor yet. I’m afraid that others will gossip, so I don’t dare to go.”

"Yes, I am also afraid that others will gossip, so I asked Yuying to go home and have a look. Now it's better. After the court is over, we can talk together."

Wang Shichong's eyes changed: "Then after you leave the court, you should go home and sit down."

"Well, I'm afraid I'm busy with work and don't have time. Why not wait a few days until I finish the things at hand." Qin Hu laughed inwardly.

At this time, the eunuch came out and announced the start of the morning court.

The main purpose of Yang Tong's court meeting today was to receive Qin Hu, so when he saw Qin Hu kneeling below, he quickly called Pingshen: "Brother Hu, I finally expected you to come."

Qin Hu stood up, raised the wat board high, and said: "Your Majesty, as the marshal of the world's military, I did not eliminate the rebels as soon as possible. It is really a heinous crime. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Yang Tong suddenly coughed, looked at the civil servants and generals below, looked at Wang Shichong with deep meaning, and suddenly said: "What crime is there? Not only is it innocent, but it is meritorious. Since the death of the late emperor, my only My consolation is King Yan, you have done a great job in regaining Xijing, I will completely rely on you from now on."

"Before you came, I had already thought about it. The court cannot live without King Yan for a day. Now that you are here, I am willing to entrust you with my life and fortune. At present, the Shangshu Province still lacks a minister, so I will trouble King Yan to spare no effort. , I am in charge of the world. In addition, in order to express my trust in King Yan, I ask King Yan to serve as General Zuo Yulin and take charge of the Imperial Army."

"The Forbidden Army is currently weak, and I feel very uneasy, so I ask Duke Zheng to select 20,000 elite soldiers and hand them over to King Yan as soon as possible so that he can train them quickly to calm my mind."

The more Wang Shichong listened, the more something was wrong. He had many eyes and ears in the palace. He had just learned that Wei Jin had entered the palace last night, and the emperor wanted to deprive him of his military power and hand it over to Qin Hu as soon as he came up today. This was clearly a way to deal with him. , so his face suddenly became a little ugly.
