Chapter 408 [Continued] Shelter

"Yes," Cui Yunhao said respectfully, "My Majesty, in my opinion, when the two armies are fighting, food and grass go first. If the enemy really wants to invade our border again, we must first prepare enough food and grass, so as not to rush Fight."

The prince smiled and said: "Master Cui is right, but it takes time to prepare food and grass, and it takes time to deliver it. It will take at least a month to deliver it with horses and horses, and transport with soldiers. How can you ensure the timely delivery of food and grass What about the front line?"

Everyone heard the difficulty in the prince's words. There is no guarantee at all. If the normal time is fine, it can be delivered normally. It may take two or three months to delay the job, who can guarantee that the food and grass will be delivered to the front line in time?

Unexpectedly, after a short thought, Cui Yunhao calmly replied: "What His Royal Highness said is that since the horses and horses are loaded and the pawns cannot be transported to the front line in time, how about transporting them by boat?"

This is a way. It is indeed much faster to walk by water, and you are not afraid of rainy or snowy weather. I'm ashamed, it seems that the new Minister of the Ministry of War has something, but they underestimated each other before.

A light flashed in Emperor Yongtai's eyes, but the crown prince said sharply: "But there are no rivers that can be directly accessed on the border of my border. If you go by water, where do you want to send the food? To the soldiers? ?”

Cui Yunhao was still calm, and said with a calm expression: "Your Highness is joking, why would I hand over the food and grass of Dazhou to the enemy? I have seen the map, and there is indeed a river on the border of Dazhou. The place two hundred miles to the east is called Jinsha River, and then Loujiang River, just need to connect the Jinsha River and Loujiang River, and the Loujiang River will go directly to Jiaqiu Bay in the capital, and Jiaqiu Bay will connect to Qintong River From then on, once food and grass need to be transported, they can be directly dispatched from the south of the Yangtze River, loaded on ships, and sent to the border, from departure to destination, roughly estimated, it only takes ten days!"

"Okay!" Emperor Yongtai slapped the imperial case suddenly, stood up, and praised with a smile: "This plan is very good! I have won my heart, and Cui Yunhao is indeed the pillar of the country. Why has no one proposed this method before? "

The courtiers all looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to say anything. Emperor Yongtai said again: "The cabinet will discuss this matter carefully again to see how to arrange it and who to handle it. The sooner the better, no delay is allowed."

Hearing this, Elder Ling Ge and Elder He Ge respectfully responded, Emperor Yongtai thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, is there anything else to play?"

……

After the court meeting was over, Cui Yunhao left the Tai Chi Hall with all the ministers. Along the way, many people smiled at him and greeted him kindly. responded.

At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Cui Shilang."

It was the prince, and several officials retreated tactfully. Cui Yunhao stood where he was, watching the prince approaching. The bright sunlight fell on his apricot court clothes, so Cui Yunhao couldn't help squinting his eyes , covered the look in his eyes, respectfully cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness called me to stop, what's the matter?"

The crown prince looked at him with a mixed expression. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't expect Cui Shilang to have some skills."

Cui Yunhao lowered his head and said, "Your Highness is absurd, you're so clever, it's not worth mentioning."

"Where?" The crown prince looked at him with a sneer: "Why should Minister Cui be humble? The emperor praised you in public today. If you are so clever, then my officials in Dazhou will be fools."

Cui Yunhao remained silent, but the crown prince suddenly changed the subject, saying: "Cui Shilang, Gu called you to stop today, there is really something else."

Cui Yunhao raised his eyes with a gentle expression: "Please speak frankly, Your Highness."

The crown prince took a step closer, turned slightly, leaned into his ear, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know Mrs. Madam... How are you doing? I really miss her."

Cui Yunhao's eyes suddenly turned sharp, like a sharpened knife, but after a moment, the sharpness disappeared again, as if it was someone else's illusion.

The crown prince clearly saw Cui Yunhao's gaffe, he laughed loudly, backed away slightly, and said slowly: "Your Madam looks like a spring flower, which is really rare in the world, Cui Shilang is really blessed, it's a pity... "

He shook his head pretending to be regretful, and walked away with a laugh. Cui Yunhao stood there for a long time before slowly leaving with the other officials.

The two people not far away witnessed the whole process. Seeing the tall and straight figure of the young man disappearing into the crowd, Xu Jiajing frowned and said in a low voice: "My lord, Cui Yunhao..."

His expression was hesitant to speak, King Yong knew what he meant, shook his head, and said in an unclear way: "You worry too much, anyone may seek refuge with the prince, only Cui Yunhao can't."

After hearing this, Xu Jiajing nodded, although he was still puzzled, and said, "I understand."

Cui Yunhao went out of the palace gate, the carriage was waiting, Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Your Excellency has come down to court, do you want to go back directly to the residence?"

The people in the carriage were silent for a moment, and said: "No, don't go back yet, go to Tingyu Tea House."

Uncle Jia responded with a smile, and drove the carriage towards Tingyu Tea House.

When Cui Yunhao entered the teahouse, the waiter immediately greeted him, bowed and said with a smile, "This guest please."

Cui Yunhao walked upstairs and said, "No need to say hello."

The guy had a winking look, and he knew he was not an ordinary person from his bearing and clothes, so he immediately backed away, Cui Yunhao went up to the second floor, glanced over the doors of each private room, found the private room at the far end on the right, and entered.

There were already two people waiting inside, Cui Yunhao cupped his hands and said to the man by the window: "I have seen the prince."

King Yong nodded and said with a smile, "Come on, sit down."

Cui Yunhao called Xu Jiajing respectfully again: "Teacher."

Xu Jiajing nodded, and then he took his seat. King Yong tapped the edge of the table lightly, and said slowly: "There has been no movement over there recently, what do you think?"

The two present here knew where that was. Xu Jiajing thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of what happened a while ago. Now everyone in the court is in danger. Maybe the crown prince just wants to avoid the limelight."

Unexpectedly, Cui Yunhao said, "Not exactly."

"Oh?"

King Yong and Xu Jiajing looked at him at the same time, and King Yong said, "What do you say?"

Cui Yunhao raised his eyes and said, "If it's a game between the prince and the prince, the longer the time drags on, the easier it is for who to lose?"

The two were silent for a while, Xu Jiajing didn't speak, and after a while, King Yong said in a deep voice: "It's me."

After all, he is just a vassal king, and he will belong to the vassal after all. Even if not now, it will be in the near future. It is impossible for King Yong to stay in the capital forever, and once he leaves the capital, who will the throne fall on? Don't think about it.

Cui Yunhao said: "Forgive me bluntly, the crown prince now has an absolute advantage. He just needs to settle down and do nothing. After hundreds of years, everything will be settled."
