After saying a few more words, Mr. Su said goodbye. Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei did not keep him. After all, they were the confidants of his father, and they were not suitable to be too close to him.

The study room was quiet for a moment. After a while, Xiao Qianchi asked: "Second brother, what are your plans?"

Xiao Qianwei said calmly: "I'll listen to my elder brother."

Xiao Qianchi suppressed the anger in his heart and said to himself: "To put it nicely, I just rejected Mr. Su's proposal, why didn't I think about asking for my opinion?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Qianchi said: "Second brother, don't have to be polite, you also know that the eldest brother has no ability."

"Brother, you're polite." Xiao Qianwei's smile was a little stiff. How could he not see that Xiao Qianchi was a little angry. But in his opinion, Xiao Qianchi's angry was really a bit inexplicable. They are brothers born to the same mother, right? Xiao Qianchi had been towards Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo from the beginning. Do you still have any backbone?

Xiao Qianchi's face was silent, but his heart was cold. He could guess what he was thinking just by looking at Xiao Qianwei's expression, but does this younger brother really think he is a fool who doesn't know anything? They fought against his cousin and his wife together. He had received the merits and had his own burden? When something big problem happened, he solved it with his words. All the remaining difficulties and troubles belong to him?

"You're welcome. Since the second brother rejected Mr. Su's proposal just now, I must have been convinced. Brother, listen." Xiao Qianchi said calmly, "The father has no time to clone him now. If the second brother can handle the matter properly, I will ask for merit for you in front of the father."

Xiao Qianwei's face changed again and again. After a long time, he sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, brother, now is the time when our brothers work together. Brother may have some misunderstandings about me."

Xiao Qianchi smiled and said, "How could it be? No matter what, we are all brothers."

Xiao Qianwei lowered his eyes, but countless thoughts were rapidly rotating in his mind. The current situation is indeed very troublesome, but... the father will never let things go uncontrollable. Therefore, as long as he can control the situation in the past two days and not deteriorate, even if it is a great achievement. Although this is a bit risky, it is also an opportunity. If he really retreats blindly and falls into the eyes of the father, it is probably not a good thing. He glanced at Xiao Qianchi who was sitting aside in a daze. Isn’t this elder brother disliked his father because he was too indecisive and hesitant?

"Since my elder brother said that, I will try my best." Xiao Qianwei said.

"Second brother, don't be polite." Xiao Qianchi said lightly.

However, things were not as easy as Xiao Qianwei imagined. None of the government decrees issued by Xiao Qianwei could be implemented, but the scholars in Jinling City were even more quarrels. Except for those who were studying in the Imperial College and the Xie family’s academy, the scholars in Jinling were almost all quarrels.

The censors and officials from the Hanlin Academy knelt at the gate of the palace to see His Majesty the Emperor. They knelt all day long, and they did not waver even after dark. Many civil servants with good health even fainted on the spot. Seeing this, the scholars in Jinling were even more in love, and many officials in the court joined or simply took leave at home. The next day, the entire court was completely shut down. The hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside Jinling City were also ready to move because the Ministry of Revenue could not allocate food and grass in time.

"bump!"

In the Yan Prince's Mansion, Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei were taking a group of staff to discuss matters in the study room. The door of the study was kicked open from outside. Everyone was startled and looked at the door one after another. Then they saw Xiao Qianjiong rushing in from outside with anger on his face. Xiao Qianwei frowned and said unhappily: "Third brother! Why are you so rude!"

Xiao Qianjiong kicked the chair beside his legs and sneered: "I rude? I want to ask what you are doing!"

Xiao Qianchi sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Third brother, please say something."

Xiao Qianjiong said angrily: "Speak well? If you talk about the soldiers outside the city, you will be mutiny!"

"What nonsense!" Xiao Qianwei said coldly, "Who wants to die!"

Xiao Qianjiong sneered, "Are they deadly? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers starved to death without food or go to rob the people outside the city?" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers without food and horses rushed into the city to rob the food in the city or harm the people around them, which was enough to cause a turmoil. Xiao Qianwei looked a little ugly and gritted his teeth and said, "What are you anxious about? My father will wake up soon."

"I believe you." Xiao Qianjiong walked to the side and sat down, with a mocking look on his young face, "I just don't know if the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city believe it. By the way, don't say I didn't tell you, my father hasn't appeared in front of people for several days. Now, let alone ordinary soldiers in the army, even the generals in the army are a little upset."

Xiao Qianchi frowned and said, "Third brother, the army will not be cut off, right? Who is the news that came out?"

Xiao Qianjiong also frowned and shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the rumors are not wrong. The food and grass in the army can last for a day or two at most." Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed outside Jinling City. No matter who was full, they would not give them too much food and grass. Apart from anything, wouldn't they cause trouble? But in this way, the supply of food and grass must be taken care of. Once a mess occurs, hundreds of thousands of hungry soldiers will not be able to settle, especially when there is a rich and prosperous city in front of them.

"When we just entered the city, we saw that many shops in the city had closed. What are you doing these two days?" Xiao Qianjiong asked a little annoyed.

Xiao Qianwei gritted his teeth and said, "It's all the tricks of those sour scholars!"

Xiao Qianjiong rolled his eyes and said, "I'm asking, what are you going to do! Let's not talk about anything else, give me the food and grass for these five days first!" The food and grass in the army are distributed every five days, and this time it's already a day late, otherwise the morale of the army would not have become chaotic because of a little rumor.

The study was quiet for a while, and after a while, Xiao Qianwei said: "No."

"Are you playing tricks on me?" Xiao Qianjiong said angrily, "There is no national treasury. Don't tell our country's treasury that the food and grass cannot be taken out in the past few days. Even if Xiao Qianye is a bastard, he is not so poor, right? If so, it would be useless for us to work hard to defeat Jinling!"
