The prince receives an order to quell the rebellion

Du Wan heard Du Qian mention the rebels last year.

She almost forgot about this after returning to the capital for more than half a year.

Today's supper was eaten in the main courtyard.

After dinner, the family sat together to drink tea and chat.

Du Fuma Du talked about the affairs in the court because he had to go to the yamen to serve a few days in advance. "The emperor started the court today because of this matter. I am not in the city, but I missed today's morning court."

The eldest princess took over the conversation, "Missing it may not be a bad thing."

"My mom said it." Du Qian knew that the emperor would be furious this morning court. "When the emperor becomes more angry, it is better for his father to appear again. He can be less scolded."

Du Wan blinked, "Uncle has a good temper."

Prince Du and Princess Du: “…”

Du Qian: "…"

The family of four, Du Wan has never been scolded.

So, the three of them ignored her words and pretended not to hear them.

Du Wan didn't know that they wouldn't talk, so she shut her mouth and asked Balabala again, "It's going to be a war. Who do you think my uncle will send to quell the rebellion? Before the rebels had become a weather, why didn't my uncle send people? I have to wait until now that they occupy three counties and send troops due to face issues? And—"

"younger sister!"

Du Qian interrupted Du Wan's words.

Du Fuma said: "It was not that the emperor didn't want to send troops, but he had no money."

"If you don't have money, don't send troops?" Du Wan didn't believe this reason very much.

Du Fuma said again: "War requires a lot of money, and food and grass."

"Father, what about the chaos? Isn't it the most taboo?"

"But if the troops are sent, it will be even more chaotic."

"There is also this statement." Du Wan really didn't know.

Du Qianyi pressed his sister's head, "What are you thinking about in your mind? My father counted the accounts last year and was most aware of the financial situation of the Qin Dynasty."

"Yes, the treasury didn't even have a tael of silver at that time." said Du Fuma.

Really miserable!

The national treasury is empty, and it is terrible to demolish the east wall and repair the west wall.

Maintaining the daily expenses of the palace depends on the emperor's private treasury.

The barracks outside the capital were probably supported by generals from major families.

If a war continues, it will cost at least millions of silver, and food and grass is a big problem. In recent years, the national grain output has been very low, and the outside grain prices have already increased a few times. At this time, it will undoubtedly add insult to the lives of the people.

So a group of ministers did not recommend sending troops.

The emperor simply has no money and no confidence.

Du Fuma said: "The reason for sending troops this time is because the treasury has silver."

"Didn't you say there is no food or grass?"

“There is always a squeeze.”

"...How can it be inconsistent?" Du Wan rolled her eyes wide.

Du Fuma Qing laughed, "I could have been worried about it before, but now I won't be worried about it. If I ignore it, the situation will only become more serious, not a good thing."

"Oh." Du Wan nodded her head in a daze.

Du Qian patted her on the shoulder, "You are a girl, why are you confused about this?"

"If you don't care, I'll ask."

"Worried about Pei Shizi?" Du Qian asked with his eyebrows.

"Who is worried about him? Who is he?"

"Ha!" Du Qian didn't believe it.

Du Wan raised her small breasts and looked straight at Du Qian, "Brother, look at my open and honest eyes."

"Hahaha……"

Du Qian couldn't help laughing loudly.

Prince Du and the eldest princess also laughed.

Du Wan puffed up her cheeks and looked at the three people in a pretentious manner, hoping that they could accept her threat and not make fun of her anymore. But the more she was, the more cheerful the three people laughed.

Finally, even she laughed...

Du Wan believes that the affairs of the court have nothing to do with her and are far away from her.

The rebels were in the southwest, a famous wilderness, with vast land and sparsely populated areas and numerous mountains. It is not easy for those who are not familiar with the terrain to calm down the rebellion. The hall was quarreled for several days, and finally the candidate for the troops was determined.

He is a person that no one expected - Pei Hao.

In recent days, Du Wan has written and painted in the quiet room.

No one knows what she is writing and painting, and they all think she is practicing calligraphy. Only Ningqin, who is grinding ink, knows that Du Wan has a sudden idea recently, saying that she wants to farm and support her family and make a fortune.

Now, various plans are being made.

Luoqi came in from the outer door, "Qi reported to the princess and the guard of the village to ask for a meeting."

"Please come in." Du Wan put down her pen and looked at the door.

Zhuang Congzheng strode from outside, bowed respectfully to Du Wan, and told the gossip he heard outside.

Du Wan was very surprised, "Pei Shizi sent troops? How could it be his turn?"

Zhuang Cong couldn't answer this. After a while, he said tentatively: "Maybe Pei Shizi is a peerless talent and talented?"

"..." Du Wan felt that the guy in front of her was even more talented.

However, Pei Hao, who was standing outside the door, happened to hear this and his mouth curled up three points.

Du Wan noticed someone outside the door, "Who? Come in!"

"It's me." Pei Hao stepped into the quiet room openly.

Du Wan looked at Zhuang Cong, "You are not asking for information, it's too late. I just heard the news and the main owner came to the door."

Zhuang Cong: "..."

The news spread outside and he came back to report it. In fact, it was not too late, just one or two hours later.

Pei Hao came, and Zhuang Cong retreated.

Then, Pei Hao saw Ningqin and Luoqi again, "You go out too. I want to tell your master alone if you have something to do."

Ningqin and Luoqi looked at Du Wan together.

Du Wan nodded, "Go out and stay outside."

"Yes, princess."

Both of them retreated.

Pei Hao bypassed the table and stood behind Du Wan, looking at the table with her writing.

Hey, are some things he can't understand?

Pei Hao bent down and asked, "What is the princess writing?"

"Nothing, write something that only I can understand." Du Wan didn't plan to reveal her own affairs, "By the way, I heard you are going to lead troops to quell the rebellion?"

"Yes." Pei Hao lifted the hem of his lower clothes and sat down to the edge of the chair in a false sense.

This sitting position was closest to her so close that he could smell the fragrance of her clothes.

Du Wan didn't mind, so she raised her head and looked at him, "Tell me, why is it your turn to go to war? There are some veterans in the court, such as Nanyang Bo, Dingbei Hou, and your father Zhenguo Duke?"

"Yes, I'm quite strange."

Pei Hao really didn't expect the emperor to suddenly appoint him as commander.

For this reason, he was promoted to three levels in a row and became a general. The strangest thing was that he maintained his original official position. One person held two positions, and the Qin State had never had this case.

Pei Hao narrowed his eyes and thought deeply, "Today, Xie Qi stood up and asked the emperor for an order to quell the rebellion. Almost all the ministers in the court said nothing, as everyone thought the emperor would agree..."
