Looking at Fang Xuanling who had finished the report in front of him, Li Er asked: "Spring plowing is about to begin. There is little rain in Guanzhong. Will there be a drought in Guanzhong this year?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, although there is little rain in Guanzhong, there is still some time before spring planting, so there should be no shortage of water. What's more, after the imperial court's major water conservancy project last year, water canals are extending in all directions, which will certainly not affect spring planting."

Fang Xuanling was sitting upright, wearing a meticulous purple official robe, and her old face was expressionless, as if she had no idea that the emperor's thoughts were not on this.

Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er sighed softly: "This is all Yang Fan's credit. That guy seems to be playful, naughty and unruly, but he understands the responsibility of serving the country and the people. If that kid hadn't donated more than 1 million silver to the imperial court for major water conservancy projects,

I'm afraid there will be another famine in Guanzhong."

Fang Xuanling nodded with deep understanding: "The prince-in-law is young and energetic, and his actions are inevitably a little arrogant. But his heart for the country and the people can be seen from the sun and the moon. With time, he will definitely become the pillar of the country. This is the imperial court."

Your Majesty’s blessing, your Majesty’s blessing, and the common people’s blessing.”

The quality of an official, in addition to his ability, also depends on whether he can benefit the people.

Otherwise, he is just a morally corrupt official who only cares for his own selfishness.

Yang Fan usually behaves arrogantly and domineeringly, but when it comes to people's livelihood matters, he is absolutely meticulous.

At this point, Yang Fan did a perfect job.

The Fang family has always had a good relationship with Yang Fan, so naturally they would not hesitate to say a few nice words at this time.

What's more, His Majesty Li Er also likes to listen.

As expected, His Majesty Li Er looked pleased and was about to praise him a few words, but there were continuous shouts from outside the palace.

"The army is rushing eight hundred miles away...hurry up and open the city gate..."

Announcements sounded one after another!

Soon, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard outside the hall. His Majesty Li Er immediately stopped talking and looked at the door of the hall with doubts.

Eight Hundred Miles Expedited Military Information is not something that can be used casually. Something urgent must have happened.

It seems like there hasn't been any fighting recently, so why would you use such an emergency report?

You must know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, only when the Eastern Turks invaded Guanzhong did an 800-mile expedited military situation occur.

Before Li Er could think about it, a veteran sergeant hurried in under the leadership of Li Junxian.

When he came to the emperor, he prostrated himself and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, General Cheng Chumo has reported the battle..."

His Majesty Li Er was slightly startled: "Battle report? What's the situation? Now that the Tang Dynasty is at peace, how can there be any war?"

Cheng Chumo disliked the fact that Jiangzhou was too far away from Yang Fan, so he had just been granted the title of Zuoduwei of Jiaxing Prefecture.

After all, he is Cheng Yaojin's son, so being able to give Yang Fan some help reassures Li Er.

But Jiaxing Prefecture is close to the Yangtze River and close to the sea. It is considered the hinterland of Jiangnan. Where does the war come from?

Could it be that pirates are attacking Jiangnan, but this is not right!

Even if it is a pirate, it should be reported by the navy. How come Cheng Chumo, the left captain of the Wei Mansion, should report it?

Unable to figure it out, Li Er quickly reached out to take it, opened the memorial sealed with fire paint and read it carefully.

Soon, Li Er's resolute face suddenly turned livid.

Memorial in progress...

Cheng Chumo sternly complained that the Jiangnan nobles had colluded with all parties to control the government affairs of Jiangnan, and even the Wei Mansion was under their control.

I heard that Shanyue was rebelling, and I wanted to send troops to rescue, but I was hindered everywhere.

What's even more disgusting is that the officials of the Wei Mansion were disobeying the situation and were unable to mobilize any soldiers. They could only watch Yang Fan trapped in Yuntai Mountain.

In desperation, I could only urgently request an order from His Majesty for 800 miles, in order to have the power to mobilize the government troops.

At the end, Cheng Chumo accused some officials in Jiangnan of colluding with the Shanyue people and actually sent the navy to attack Yang Fan's fleet.

This rebellious behavior shows that Jiangnan officials and soldiers have become private soldiers serving the Jiangnan gentry.

It also shows that Jiangnan is no longer the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty, but the private land of the Jiangnan gentry.

Of course, Yang Fan's "blood letter" is also attached.

If we say that Cheng Chumo’s report was already fully understood by His Majesty Li Er.

Then Yang Fan's "blood letter" made His Majesty Li Er's eyes red for a moment, and he suddenly became furious and furious.

How could the Jiangnan gentry be so bold?

Not only did they allow the Shanyue people to rebel, but they also allowed the navy to attack the fleet of the Jiangnan Governor. What is the difference between this and rebellion?

Yang Fan was actually besieged in Yuntai Mountain without reinforcements. What should he do?

A heart-wrenching regret rose from the chest!

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be startled when she saw His Majesty Li Er's face turned livid, his teeth clenched tightly, and his eyes constantly flashing cold light.

When the Eastern Turks invaded Guanzhong, His Majesty Li Er was not so angry, right?

So Fang Xuanling asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, since this is a war report, which country dares to invade my country, the Tang Dynasty?"

Taking a deep breath, His Majesty Li Er tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and handed the memorial and the blood letter to Fang Xuanling with trembling hands.

"See for yourself, the Jiangnan nobles are lawless, and I am incompatible with them!"

Fang Xuanling's originally charming expression was suddenly shocked, and she took the report with both hands.

Secretly guessing in my heart, what on earth did the Jiangnan nobles do to make His Majesty Li Er say such cruel words that leave no room for retreat?

Fang Xuanling unfolded the report and read it carefully.

What catches the eye is the rebellion of Shanyue...

Fang Xuanling was immediately shocked.

In recent years, in order to control Jiangnan, the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress the Shanyue people every year.

Didn’t it mean that these Shanyue people didn’t dare to go down the mountain?

how so?

Just when Yang Fan went down to the south of the Yangtze River, the Shanyue people came to do this. This is too coincidental!

I’m afraid the reason is quite deep!

Seeing Yang Fan's "blood letter" again, even the prime minister Fang Xuanling, who was unfazed by honor and disgrace, was no longer calm.

"I was ordered to go south. When passing through Suzhou, I unfortunately encountered the Shanyue rebellion and was trapped in a dangerous place. Facing dozens of times more enemies, the soldiers fought hard and were unable to defeat them, and were in deep trouble."

"As the official of the Tang Dynasty, I will not succumb to thieves. We and our team intend to stick to our integrity and repay His Majesty's grace."

"If Wei Chen can lead the crowd to fight back and escape, it is really a blessing for Wei Chen. If Wei Chen unfortunately dies, when the imperial court sends a large army to annihilate Shanyue, I hope that Your Majesty can bury the bones of the soldiers by the river, and the souls of the soldiers will live forever.

Our territory of the Tang Dynasty..."

Every sentence was so iron-clad, but a sense of sadness that the hero was at his end could not help but rise from the bottom of his heart.

What stirred Fang Xuanling the most was the last sentence: "If I die unfortunately, I hope that your majesty can bury the bones of the soldiers by the river, and the souls of the soldiers will forever guard our territory of the Tang Dynasty..."

What kind of pride is this?

Don’t you all call me Yang Fan a stick?

Even a stick knows how to be loyal and filial to the empire.

We want you to see what kind of person I, Yang Fan, am!

Even if I am in a desperate situation, I will stand firm.

Even if I am broken into pieces, I will not surrender.

Fang Xuanling deeply felt Yang Fan's deep anger, unwillingness and despair when he wrote this blood letter.

Not knowing what words to use to express her feelings at this time, Fang Xuanling squirmed a few times before sighing: "Yang Fan is so strong and strong that even the unparalleled national warriors are not as numerous as him!"

His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he kept hammering the tables in front of him with his big hands as if he was not afraid of pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "I regret it so much. I shouldn't have sent him to Jiangnan in such a hurry. I should have given him more soldiers to protect him."

"What a Jiangnan nobleman, since he dares to do this to his consort so unscrupulously, do you really think I dare not let their heads fall to the ground?"

"Hmph, what a great Duke of Yun. I made him the general manager of Jiangnan and asked him to destroy the Shanyue people. Didn't he say that the Shanyue people dare not go down the mountain?"

"In addition, apart from the captains of various provinces, only Zhang Liang, the general manager of Jiangnan, can mobilize the Jiangnan soldiers and navy. Why do the navy dare to attack the governor who was pardoned by the imperial court? Do they want to change the dynasty?"
