The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.
Chapter 440 Heavenly Fire
The royal palace of Nanyue was a wooden complex, and with the help of strong liquor and strong winds, it was burned to the ground and reduced to ruins.
The coffins of the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince were not salvaged in time and were burned to ashes.
After being revived by the imperial physician, Consort Lan fainted again upon hearing that her son's body had been burned to ashes.
Even though things were already this bad, someone came to report another piece of bad news to the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, the imperial warehouses to the north have also caught fire. Some people are taking advantage of the fire to loot, and all the grain and cloth sent by the Great Qi have disappeared."
This night was destined to be a sleepless one for the old emperor of Nanyue.
After daybreak, the old emperor was helped by eunuchs to walk around the palace.
He looked at the palace reduced to ashes and wept bitterly.
The centuries-old wooden palace burned down in one night, along with many treasures.
It's so heartbreaking. He failed to preserve the heritage; he's a sinner against Nan Yue.
"Your Majesty, General Zhu requests an audience."
"Let him come over."
Zhu Yuan knelt down as soon as he saw the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, what about the grain you promised to allocate to the army?"
The old emperor knew that without food, Zhu Yuan's troops would starve to death halfway to attack Qinghe County.
"We've run out of food. I'll write to the Emperor of Qi and ask him to send more. Don't set off yet."
Zhu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it felt quite strange that he lost his clothes, food, and weapons along the way.
Therefore, he didn't want to set off today. It would be best to wait until the Grand Preceptor recovered so that he could set off with him and feel at ease.
Su Qianqian had a good sleep, and after waking up, she took the cloth to the military camp.
The soldiers risked their lives to protect the country and its people, and she felt that the fabric of the Great Qi should be worn by the soldiers of the Great Qi, not given away for free to enemy states.
Soldiers train hard and wear out their clothes very quickly; most of their clothes have holes in them. We should provide them with more sets of clothes.
"This fabric is enough to make at least two outfits for each of you. There are many colors available, so you can choose the colors you like. I'll have someone take your measurements today."
The common people were very poor, and many women in the city were idle and wanted to earn some money. Taking advantage of the opportunity to make clothes, women who knew how to sew could also earn some money.
The soldiers cheered with joy as they looked at the pile of cloth that resembled a small mountain.
"General Su is mighty!"
"It's so nice to serve under General Su. I never had such good treatment when I was a soldier in Beijing."
Some of the soldiers were transferred from the capital.
Even in the capital, the treatment wasn't as good as in Qinghe County. They didn't receive as many clothes or eat as well as in Qinghe County. Moreover, Miss Su would give them welfare benefits on every holiday.
The key is that Miss Su has set up a lot of incentive measures. As long as you work hard enough, one person can support the whole family by joining the army.
The news that the Southern Yue royal palace had been burned to ashes quickly reached the Great Qi.
Before the morning court session began, the ministers had a particularly heated discussion about this matter.
They originally thought they would receive news of Qinghe County being besieged, since the King of Huainan had already joined forces with Nanyue, but instead they received news that the Nanyue royal palace had been destroyed.
"I heard that the palace of the Southern Yue Kingdom was hit by a fireball that fell from the sky and burned to the ground."
"Heavens have sent down fire! What terrible thing has Nan Yue done to deserve such wrath?"
Lord Xue laughed, "Anyone who tries to take advantage of Miss Su will come to a bad end. Who told the old emperor of Nan Yue to try and steal Miss Su's divine bird? He deserves this fate!"
Prime Minister Feng was brought to the morning court session again today, and he felt he had to speak up for the Southern Yue.
"Our Great Qi has always been a land of etiquette. If we gloat today, others will treat Great Qi coldly when it suffers natural disasters in the future."
Duke Anguo retorted, "Prime Minister Feng, I would like to ask you, three years ago when the Great Qi was plagued by locusts, which neighboring country offered assistance? At that time, not only did Nan Yue not offer assistance, but it also took advantage of the chaos and seized three cities of the Great Qi."
Lord Xue firmly stood by Miss Su's side. "Prime Minister, do you know why your leg injury hasn't healed in half a year? It's because you're always targeting Miss Su. No one who opposes Miss Su will have a good ending. If you don't believe me, ask Vice Minister Luo. Vice Minister Luo has now fallen so low that his entire family of more than ten people are living in one room."
Vice Minister Luo was so embarrassed by what he was said that he was unable to refute it, because what Lord Xue said was the truth.
At this moment, Emperor Jing of Qi arrived, and the morning court session began, so all the ministers quieted down.
Emperor Qi Jing was quite sympathetic to Nanyue. "I have decided to send the imperial construction team to Nanyue to help rebuild the royal palace."
Prime Minister Feng quickly replied, "Your Majesty is wise. The imperial construction team consists of over a hundred people, all of whom have participated in the construction of royal gardens. Their craftsmanship is superb and will surely satisfy Nan Yue."
No one can change the emperor's decision, so even though Lord Xue and others strongly opposed it, they did not voice their opposition on the spot.
Minister Luo said obsequiously, "Your Majesty, the magistrate of Qiu County has personally brought a portrait of the Rain Goddess to the capital to present to Your Majesty. He is already waiting outside the palace."
"Let him in quickly."
The magistrate of Qiu County walked in carrying the portrait and first showered the emperor with compliments, saying, "Your Majesty's virtue is as high as the heavens, which is why Heaven sent the Rain Goddess to descend to earth to help you."
Emperor Jing of Qi was overjoyed to hear this.
Eunuch Fu took the portrait and presented it to Emperor Qi Jing.
Emperor Qi Jing glanced at the portrait and felt utterly distraught.
Unexpectedly, the rain goddess in the hearts of the people of Qiu County was actually Miss Su.
Emperor Qi Jing was already wary of Su Qianqian, but then he discovered that the common people had actually deified her.
Damn it! Emperor Qi Jing tore the portrait of the Rain Goddess to shreds.
Magistrate Wu of Qiu County was puzzled to see the emperor lose his temper, as the emperor had just been laughing happily.
Wu was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not speak. He was very puzzled as to why His Majesty tore up the portrait of the Rain Goddess. According to those who had seen it, the portrait was 90% similar to the original, so there should be no problem.
"Minister Luo, you have a wonderful granddaughter."
Judging from the Emperor's tone, it was clear that Minister Luo was dissatisfied with Su Qianqian.
So Minister Luo suggested, "Your Majesty, the General of Mighty Valor has been in Qinghe County for over ten days and has yet to achieve anything. He has failed Your Majesty's trust. Perhaps Your Majesty should issue an edict to urge him on."
This suggestion certainly made Emperor Qi Jing feel much better.
"By imperial decree, the Mighty General is to recapture Sicheng within three days, or else be dismissed from office and imprisoned."
Lord Xue rolled his eyes at Vice Minister Luo. That son of a bitch actually schemed against his own son, Su Bing. If the ancestors of the Luo family knew about this, they would definitely crawl out of their coffins to settle scores with Vice Minister Luo.
Now that Nanyue and the King of Huainan have joined forces, Qinghe County is already in grave danger, and the emperor has ordered that Sicheng be recaptured within three days!
You're all enjoying yourselves in the capital; you have no idea how dangerous it is on the front lines!
