Feng An then waved his hand and said, "We don't need to complain anymore. Even if there is evidence that those two old guys are the masterminds behind the burning of the two Ministry of Revenue granaries, I'm afraid we won't be able to bring them down.
Next, let's figure out how to fight the Jiang family's rebels in Fuzhou!"
Just as these generals in the army were discussing how to fight the rebels, the fourth prince Chen Bing came to the princess's mansion.
"Imperial sister, father has decided to use the grain in the imperial warehouse to supply the troops gathered in the capital." The fourth prince Chen Bing said to the eldest princess Chen Yulin.
It turns out that the reason why the fourth prince Chen Bing was valued by Emperor Chen Xun, and the reason why Emperor Chen Xun also gave the military power of 30,000 palace soldiers in the capital to the fourth prince Chen Bing, was actually due to the credit of the eldest princess Chen Yulin.
After the death of the third prince, who was born of the same mother as the eldest princess, the eldest princess did not choose to stand on the side of either the crown prince or the eldest prince. Instead, she secretly pushed forward the fourth prince Chen Bing and prepared to support him in the fight for the throne.
Princess Chen Yulin nodded slightly and said, "The food stored in the imperial granary in the capital is enough to feed the people of the capital for a year.
With the food stored in the imperial warehouse, the army suppressing the rebellion should not face any food shortage crisis."
"Sister, my father has asked me to track down the rebels' accomplices in the capital.
"But those two Ministry of Revenue granaries were clearly burned by the two prime ministers," said the fourth prince, Chen Bing, somewhat embarrassed.
Princess Chen Yulin said nonchalantly, "There are many beggars and refugees in the capital. You can send people to capture some of them and report to your father."
"Ah? This... is this possible?"
“Don’t worry, the two prime ministers will help you cover it up.
Although you know what happened when the Ministry of Revenue's granary was burned, you must remember that you must not let this matter implicate the two prime ministers, otherwise you will be the one who suffers in the end."
The fourth prince, Chen Bing, nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will follow your instructions."
Princess Chen Yulin immediately changed the subject, "How's Jiang Siying doing?"
Jiang Siying is the legal wife of the late third prince, but she also has another identity: the legitimate daughter of Jiang Shun, the head of the Jiang family in Fuzhou.
After the Jiang family of Fuzhou raised the banner of rebellion, Jiang Siying's life in the capital suddenly became difficult. Fortunately, Jiang Siying had a close relationship with the eldest princess Chen Yulin, otherwise Jiang Siying might have been thrown into prison.
"Imperial sister, I have arranged three hundred palace soldiers to protect the Imperial sister-in-law. There will be no mistakes."
"It's not convenient for me to go over now. Please take care of Jiang Siying. After all, she is your third brother's legal wife."
"Yes, sister."
In fact, when the fourth prince Chen Bing heard the eldest princess mention Jiang Siying, he felt quite nervous.
What Princess Chen Yulin could never have imagined was that when she asked the fourth prince Chen Bing to take care of Jiang Siying, the fourth prince Chen Bing actually took care of Jiang Siying and brought her to bed.
Late that night, the fourth prince, Chen Bing, climbed up from Jiang Siying's body, panting heavily. "Sister-in-law, I have to go. If we are discovered at dawn, we will be in trouble."
"Alas—we really shouldn't be together.
I'm fine, I'm just worried about affecting you." Jiang Siying said in a delicate voice.
"As long as there are no mistakes on your part, our affairs will not be discovered.
But rest assured, my dear sister-in-law, I will not let you down when I ascend the throne."
Jiang Siying understood what Chen Bing was talking about. "Don't worry, I've been taking medicine every day recently and won't cause you any trouble."
After Chen Bing left, a maid walked into the bedroom to help Jiang Siying clean up.
"Miss, is it really okay for you to do this? Once people find out..."
The maid was interrupted by Jiang Siying before she could finish her words. "So what if they knew? The worst that could happen is I'll be given a three-foot white silk. Anyway, even my father has given up on me."
Jiang Siying was very angry about the rebellion of the Jiang family in Fuzhou.
It’s not that Jiang Siying opposed the rebellion of the Jiang family of Fuzhou. After all, Jiang Siying knew very well that the Jiang family of Fuzhou had been planning a rebellion for years.
What made Jiang Siying angry was that her father did not inform her before the rebellion. Otherwise, with the power Jiang Siying had built up in the capital over the years, she would definitely have left the capital first.
Now Jiang Siying has actually been imprisoned in the mansion.
Of course, Jiang Siying also understood that her father did not inform her in advance in order to avoid alerting the enemy.
But even though we understand it, anyone would feel upset if they were faced with such a thing.
"Miss, let's run away!
The three hundred guards sent by the Fourth Prince can't stop us from leaving."
Jiang Siying shook her head and said, "There are now a large number of troops gathering outside the capital, and all the city gates are under martial law.
Even if we can leave this house, there is no way to escape from the capital.
Besides, I've even put my body on the line now. If I leave the capital, I'll be sleeping with the Fourth Prince for nothing."
"Miss, are you saying that our Jiang family can't take the capital this time? Are you planning to bet on the Fourth Prince?"
"Six border troops have already arrived in the capital, plus the 200,000 elite soldiers of the Southern Guarding Army that will soon arrive. I'm afraid my father's efforts will be in vain this time.
Since I've already slept with the Fourth Prince, of course I have to bet on him."
Upon hearing this, the maid couldn't help but said worriedly: "Miss, if our Jiang family fails to conquer the capital, what will we do in the future?"
"Now the entire Fuzhou has been completely controlled by our Jiang family, and we have formed an alliance with the Xianbei and Khitan peoples. Even if we can't capture the capital, as long as father can lead the troops back to Fuzhou, I'm afraid the court will be unable to do anything to our Jiang family."
