Xiao Rong is not Song Suo. He would not deliberately walk up to others and say in a mean way, "I'm right, right~". His mind is full of business opportunities. After asking the craftsmen to carve the woodblocks, Xiao Rong printed several thousand copies in one go. He sent people to secretly transport them to Nanyong and distribute them to major booksellers. These booksellers will then help him complete the rest of the tasks.
People die for money and birds die for food. "Shrouded Corpse" has become completely popular, and "A Thousand Miles of Silver" is about to become popular as well.
Someone couldn't sit still, but didn't know how to stop it. Finally, he thought of a brilliant idea and went to find the king's uncle. ...
He told Sun Renluan about the current attitude of the north of the Huai River, and how the play "Ten Thousand Miles of Silver" had tarnished the reputation of the aristocratic families. Sima, you are also a member of an aristocratic family, and the head of an aristocratic family. You shouldn't just watch your people being bullied. Besides, Sima, you should also leave a way out for yourself. If we fail to resist the revenge of King Zhenbei this time, as the head of the Sun family, do you want to live in a world that does not respect aristocratic families?
Sun Renluan: “…………”
He was furious at this man for the longest time in his life. If there hadn't been someone stopping him, he would have killed the man on the spot.
He had been having annoyed enough these days, and now there were always idiots like this to disturb his mind.
After kicking everyone out, Sun Renluan sat back in his seat, unable to hide his fatigue.
He was extremely tired, but the rules he had learned since childhood made him sit up straight. Pinching his brows, he thought about the current situation in Jinling.
They didn't have enough soldiers or generals, and the attack on Ningzhou cost them tens of thousands of men. Now they had barely gathered 200,000 men, but he knew that half of them were unable to go to the battlefield.
Shen Yangrui became the victim of the defeat in Ningzhou. It was obviously Yang Zangyi's faction that advocated attacking Yining and Yizhou. Sun Renluan only mentioned it after hearing what the little emperor said. When Yang Zangyi learned that His Majesty had this idea, he was very pleased. He kept talking about the little emperor and instigated the entire court to agree to the attack.
For some unknown reason, Sun Renluan agreed, because he also wanted to see if they still had a chance of survival.
The results are out, this is really not the case. …
Sun Renluan has been coordinating with all parties these days. He wants Shen Yangrui to overthrow the throne because in Nanyong, Shen Yangrui is indeed a rare general. More importantly, he is the only general that Sun Renluan can trust.
If he let someone else lead the troops, he would always feel uneasy, fearing that the other party would suddenly betray the country and surrender to the enemy.
His worry was right, because Wang Xinyong had been here for quite some time. Regardless of whether they knew Wang Xinyong or not, many people were secretly sending him letters. Some people expressed their willingness to obey General Wang's orders, and some others expressed their willingness to spend all their wealth as long as Wang Xinyong could say a few good words for him in front of King Zhenbei.
However, re-employing Shen Yangrui was not such a simple matter. There was great resistance in the court. The main reason was that people no longer believed in Shen Yangrui. He had suffered a crushing defeat in his last battle and had no chance of winning at all. People would rather let an unknown young man try than hand over the army to him again.
Yang Zangyi thought the same thing. This time he was not trying to hold Sun Renluan back. To be honest, Sun Renluan was the more selfish one between the two of them because he was worried about the others. …
Although the resistance is great, it is not impossible to achieve. In a few days, Shen Yangrui should be able to come back.
This should be the only good thing that happened in the past month. Just when Sun Renluan's face looked a little better, panicked shouts were heard from outside.
"Da Sima, Da Sima!"
Sun Renluan got a headache when he heard the noise, because every time someone called him like that, it meant something had happened. But even Sun Renluan could not have imagined that this time the incident would be so serious.
The man knelt on the ground, looking extremely panicked. "Grand Marshal, the grain in the city's granary... the grain in the granary is all bad! It's good on the outside, but moldy on the inside. We were transporting grain to Liyang these days, and the people below discovered this. And there's more than one granary with problems, three, three of them!"
He was shaking with fear, as if he was about to cry, but he couldn't cry because he was too excited. It was no wonder that he became like this, because there were only six granaries in Jinling, each of which was huge and heavily guarded. These six granaries stored enough food for the entire Jinling and the army to eat for several years. If there was an accident in just one warehouse, this man would not be so scared.
All three granaries have accidents. What does this mean?
It means that the days they can hold out are reduced by half, it means that the people in the city will be abandoned at the critical moment, and it means that more and more people will abandon the court. After the princes and nobles learn of this news, they will certainly become more active.
Sun Renluan's body swayed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound. For a moment, the whole hall was filled with screams of panic. Some people hurried to call the imperial physician, while more people surrounded the unconscious Sun Renluan, crying softly.
I just don't know whether they were crying for Sun Renluan or for their future selves.
