Chapter 920 Empress Ma: I'll beat all three of them at once!
The capital city, the Forbidden City, the Kunning Palace.
Emperor Zhu paced back and forth like a donkey pulling a millstone, his expression shifting rapidly between anger and worry—a speed at which no one else in the world could match.
Beast!
Those two little beasts!
They're such a worry!
He still calls it "Fenglang Juxu"?
If we had known about this snow disaster, we should have had Bo Ren capture them both and hang them on the city gate tower to dry in the wind!
And that bastard Hu Weiyong.
You just wait, you wait until this snow disaster is over.
You dare to put the Crown Prince and his son-in-law in such a dangerous situation? Let's see how tough your dog head is, Hu Weiyong!
Emperor Zhu was cursing inwardly.
But upon seeing the anxiety and worry on Empress Ma's face, as well as the heartache and grievance hidden between her brows, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but sigh heavily again.
"Don't worry, sister. We've already ordered the Dengzhou market to prepare supplies, which will be transported to Liaodong by the Dengzhou fleet first."
"Moreover, with Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Bo Ren, plus that bastard, there definitely won't be any problems in Liaodong."
Emperor Zhu tried to comfort Empress Ma: "It's just a heavy snow. There are so many people in Liaodong, they can definitely handle it."
Empress Ma glared at Emperor Zhu, then wiped her eyes and said, "Am I worried about those two scoundrels?"
"They have soldiers and provisions in Liaodong, what do I have to worry about?"
"What I'm worried about are Jin'er and Yu'er, and that girl."
"My three precious daughters abandoned their mother and ran away to Liaodong because of those two scoundrels. How am I supposed to feel about that?"
At this point, Empress Ma spat angrily and said, "Once this snow disaster is over, they can forget about sealing the wolf's lair. I'll send men to capture them and hang them on the city gate tower to dry in the wind!"
"And those three heartless brats, aren't they supposed to be a loving couple? I'll beat them all up too!"
"Nobody's going to have an easy time!"
Ok? ? ?
After being married to my girlfriend for so many years, this seems to be the first time I've ever heard her use the word "old lady" in her mouth.
Forget it, you two little bastards, good luck to you, there's no way we can save you.
And Jin'er, Yu'er, and that girl, you three better pray for yourselves. As your father, I can only manage the affairs of the court; the affairs of the harem are all decided by your mother.
Emperor Zhu shrank his neck, stopped pacing back and forth, and chuckled dryly, saying, "Don't worry, sister. No matter what, those three little girls can't outrun Tiande. By the time they get to Liaodong, Tiande will probably have already delivered the supplies, and the snow disaster in Liaodong will have long passed."
Empress Ma glanced sideways at Emperor Zhu.
Do you want to hear what nonsense you're spouting?
You raised your own daughters, don't you know what they're like?
The mere thought of this made Empress Ma jump to her feet, exclaiming urgently, "Oh no!"
Emperor Zhu was slightly taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?"
Empress Ma, one hand on the table and the other rubbing her forehead, said, "Quickly, send people to guard the city gates. If they see any girls trying to run out, stop them all."
Emperor Zhu smacked his lips, then turned to Chen Zhong and ordered, "Why aren't you going yet?"
After Chen Zhong left to carry out his orders, Emperor Zhu chuckled twice and looked at Empress Ma, asking, "Sister, why are you stopping the girls from leaving the capital?"
Empress Ma glared at Emperor Zhu with hatred.
"Jin'er, Yu'er, and that girl, those three brats led the way to Liaodong, and Chang Mao and Chang Sheng will definitely follow them."
“There’s more than one female scholar in the Tiande family in the capital; the other girls aren’t stupid either.”
"Among the nobles and officials, there are relatives and friends, and it's possible that some of their daughters have already been betrothed to those scoundrels at the Ningyang Farm."
"Now that those bastards from Ningyang Farm are going to Liaodong, tell me, how many girls in the capital can stay put?"
Emperor Zhu blinked dumbfounded and asked, "Really? Those little girls, they wouldn't dare to do that?"
Empress Ma glared at Emperor Zhu again: "If it were before, perhaps not."
"But what has your eldest son done?"
"He turned the story of how I secretly brought you food, including pancakes, while your godfather locked you up in jail into a storybook!"
“The young girls in the capital are all a few years younger than I was back then, and their minds are full of the days when mountains were no longer in the sky and heaven and earth were united.”
"Those three brats are leading the way towards Liaodong again. What do you think they'll do?"
Empress Ma sat back down on the stool, sighed, and said, "What a tragedy!"
"What happened to the once perfectly good bill?"
"What have become of Jin'er and Yu'er now?"
"And that girl, sigh!"
Emperor Zhu blinked again.
Yes, where is our gentle and refined Biao'er, whom everyone praises?
Where are our two sweet little darlings?
……
A heavy snowfall that lasted for more than ten days in Liaodong affected more than just the area.
It's not just the Ming Dynasty.
Many vassal states, including Korea, Ryukyu, and Siam, were also affected.
It didn't snow, but the impact was more terrible than if it had.
Xu Liang, the Assistant Prefect of Dengzhou, directly summoned the numerous envoys from various vassal states who were at the Dengzhou border market.
"Goryeo, send 100,000 laborers and 100,000 cattle and horses to Liaoyang Prefecture within one month to be employed."
"Japan, send 100,000 laborers to Liaoyang Prefecture within two months to be employed."
"Ryukyu, send 50,000 laborers to Liaodong Prefecture within two months to be employed."
"Siam, Annam, Burma and other Southeast Asian vassal states each contributed 20,000 laborers and 100,000 shi of grain, which were transported by the Dengzhou fleet. Within a month, each household was to transport at least 20,000 shi of grain to Liaoyang Prefecture."
"Regarding the money and grain, once this snow disaster is over, the Dengzhou border market will report to the Ministry of Revenue and settle accounts with each of you."
"I will not ask how much you are spending now, nor will I ask how many casualties your men have suffered after going to Liaodong."
"I'll just tell you one thing: His Highness the Crown Prince and his son-in-law are currently in Liaoyang Prefecture."
"Even if you perform well, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince Consort may not take it to heart."
"But I will remember clearly who performed poorly."
Threat, naked threat.
At this moment, Xu Liang no longer showed any trace of the subservient and sullen demeanor he had shown in front of Yang Shaofeng and Wang Guangyang.
The sheer killing intent emanating from him nearly terrified Park Sung-sung and the other envoys from the vassal states, causing them to wet themselves.
After the envoys left, Xu Liang paced back and forth in the room twice.
"Somebody come!"
"Tell the merchants in Dengzhou Prefecture to suspend all business from today onwards, and summon all the shop owners to me!"
"The market also sent someone to inform them that all transactions involving grain, salt, and tea are suspended, as are the buying and selling of tools such as shovels and picks."
"Send someone to invite Commander Yu of the Dengzhou Fleet to come here."
