In the Tai Chi Hall, all civil and military officials gathered together and held a court meeting under the auspices of Qin Rouniang. The content of the court meeting naturally cannot be separated from the current defense issues of going to Beijing.

"Food, food is the most critical and important issue when going to Beijing today." Cao Yi said, "How to raise food and save food is the first priority we need to pay attention to."

"How about warehousing in the capital?" Qin Rouniang asked.

"When I returned to the Empress Dowager, there are now twenty large warehouses in Shangjing City, each of which has a reserve of one million dan of grain. This is not counting the grain stored by the wealthy households in the city and the grain stored by merchants. In the short term, there will be no shortage of food. However, considering that Shangjing City needs to be persisted for a long time, the Northern Expedition Army will also be siege for a long time, so it is better to have a clear picture of it." Zhang Minghao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, took a step forward and said.

"It's a lot to say, but in fact it won't take long. There are millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital!" Qin Sheng sighed, "It's not many in everyone's name!"

"Empress Dowager, I have a plan to alleviate the food problem!" Wang Jing said withdrew from the class.

"What good advice does Shangshu Wang have?"

"Tele the elderly, weak, women and children in the city out of the city, so that they can find their own way of life." Wang Jingluo said loudly.

"No!"

"No!"

Qin Rouniang and Qin Sheng said almost in unison.

"Shangshu Wang, this strategy is absolutely impossible. In this way, wouldn't it make people in the city panic? Most of the soldiers guarding the city's family are in the city. How can they still be safe in defending the city? Only when these people are in the city will these soldiers have concerns and will defend the city to the death." Qin Sheng said.

"The old general Qin is right, but this strategy doesn't work." Qin Rouniang shook her head.

"Empress Dowager, since this is the case, we can separate them. The families of soldiers in the army can stay in the city and drive out of the city." Wang Jingluo said: "Empress Dowager, this is hundreds of thousands of mouths. Without them, the food in the capital can support twice or even more time."

Cao Yi also stood up, "I think Wang Shangshu's words are reasonable, and the 200,000 people drove out of the city have another wonderful use."

"What else is there?"

"Increase the burden on Yun Zhao."

"If Yun Zhao doesn't care, these people starve to death in the wilderness, they hate him not him, but us." Qin Rouni said.

"The Empress Dowager, now I don't care about so much. These people stayed in the city. In the end, when food was insufficient, they were still dead. They must be the one who starved to death. It would be better to let them go out of the city to make a living earlier. Maybe there would be a way to survive. Shuchen said something that shouldn't have said. In the end, even the tragedy of Yizi's food may also happen. This is not uncommon in history. Now that they are expelled from the city, they are letting them live." Wang Jingluo said.

"Mr. Wang said it well, and I expected Yun Zhao would definitely take care of it. As long as he took care of it, it would delay his attack on the capital. This also bought us more time, right? Yun Zhao's logistics supply line has been stretched very long. Although he has taken Jingzhou now, it still needs to be transported from the north, and hundreds of thousands of mouths will make him tired of dealing with it." Cao Yi said.

"What if the Northern Army takes the opportunity to attack the city?" Qin Rouniang was moved and couldn't help but worry.

"Absolutely not!" Wang Jingluo said: "Thousands of refugees who leave the city will block their siege passage unless Yun Zhao kills these refugees together, but the Empress Dowager, the same thing happened in Luzhou. At that time, Yun Zhao stopped the pace of the army's advance until the refugee problem was solved. So, this time, I think he would do the same."

"Since that's the case, let's do it like this! General Qin, you will handle this matter together."

Qin Sheng sighed, "Yes, the Queen Mother."

"Next to talk about the military equipment, storage in the armory, production of military workshops, etc., and the arrows that need to be consumed will be astronomical." Qin Rouniang changed the topic.

The Minister of Works was about to speak when Qin Niang suddenly turned out of the back hall, her face obviously had a sad look, she bowed her head to Qin Rounniang's ear, and whispered a few words. Qin Rounniang's eyes narrowed slightly, her eyes slowly swept across the ministers, and she stood up slowly, "Dear ministers, I'm very sorry, His Majesty the Emperor cried and made a big fuss behind me. I have to go and comfort me, please wait for a while."

The ministers were stunned at first, but the little emperor was only in his early two years old, so these things were inevitable. As Qin Rouniang walked towards the back hall and everyone gathered together, the topic was still inseparable from the current situation.

In the back hall, the little emperor was sitting quietly, but Qin Chi looked nervous, while Lin Zhiyuan, who was standing by his side, looked calm.

"What's going on?" Qin Rouniang sat on the chair with her sleeves, sweeping over Qin Chi like a knife.

"Empress Dowager, this is General Lin Zhiyuan, the vanguard general under General Lou Xiang's tent."

"General Lou Xiang's vanguard? Why did you come back to the capital?" Qin Rouni looked at Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan took a step forward and knelt down respectfully, "Return to the Empress Dowager, and he was ordered by General Lou to return to the capital to report an urgent matter to the Empress."

"What's the matter of being urgent? What's the matter of being urgent than being urgent than being able to meet General Su Can?" Qin Rounniang said coldly: "Lou Xiang actually sent all his vanguard officers back?"

"When I go back to the Queen Mother, I am not alone. I am remanded a large number of people back at the same time."

"A large number of people bet? Who?" Qin Rouniang's eyes slowly narrowed, feeling something was wrong in her heart.

"It's from the family of Shoujiao Cao, and from the family of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of War!" Lin Zhiyuan lowered his head and whispered.

Qin Rouniang's heart shook fiercely and took a long breath, "What does Lou Xiang mean to give them to me from the Cao and Wang families?"

"When we returned to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager sent an imperial edict to take General Lou to pick up General Su Can. Just as we were about to go, the Chief Auxiliary sent someone to General Lou and let General Lou..."

"explain!"

Lin Zhiyuan seemed to be startled, raised his head and looked at Qin Rouni. His words were already stuttering and became fluent all of a sudden. "The Chief Auxiliary said that he could not hold on to the capital, so he asked General Lou to take his family and some wealth to Shuzhou, saying that he had already arranged there, and that he and Wang Shangshu would also rush to Shuzhou later, where he occupied land and became king, defended Shuzhou to negotiate with Yun Zhao, and strive to make land and become king."

Qin Rouniang's face turned pale in an instant. Cao Yi and Wang Jingluo's status and role in Shangjing were of crucial importance. These two people acted like this to kill Shangjing.

"Why didn't Lou Xiang do what they said, but instead took their family back?"

"When I returned to the Empress, our general thought about it and finally felt that he could not let down the Empress's high hopes. He decided to attack Pukou and responded to General Su Can and helped the Empress guard Shangjing. So he sent the villain to send these people back to Shangjing and handed them over to the Empress Dowager for disposal." Lin Zhiyuan said.

Qin Rouniang stroked her forehead with her hand, and felt the blue veins on her head beating constantly, and blood rushed straight into her brain, and waves of dizziness came.

"Empress, are you okay?" Qin Niang hurried forward and gently rubbed Qin Rouni's temples for Qin Rouni.

"It's okay!" Qin Rouniang opened her eyes slowly, "Qin Chi immediately sent someone to block the passage out of the palace. Outside the Tai Chi Hall, there were members of the Parrao Net Operations. Without my order, no one was allowed to step out of the Tai Chi Hall."

"Yes!" Qin Chi answered his order loudly and left the door in a flash.

"Qinniang, go to the front hall and invite the old general Qin to come."

"yes!"

Turning to look at Lin Zhiyuan, "Get up, it's rare that Lou Xiang is finally loyal. You can tell the situation in detail to the Old General Qin in a short while."

"I know!"
