Chapter 656 Princess Extra 10
The seafood in the hands of the fishermen cannot wait, and some of them have no choice but to sell the prepared seafood to vendors at a low price. If they keep it in their hands, they may not be able to sell it for a penny in the end.
There were also some brave fishermen who gathered in groups of three or five and took their goods to the capital without waiting for notification from the officers and soldiers.
The result is predictable. Not only did they lose their goods, some even lost their lives.
For a time, the fishermen in Dengzhou Port complained.
The imperial court had begun suppressing bandits in Dengzhou half a year ago. When the trade route was first opened, the fishermen made a lot of money. However, the bandits on the trade route later made a comeback and they never used the trade route again.
The officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court kept talking about suppressing bandits, and after much trouble, half a year had passed. The winter peak season was approaching, and the seafood in their hands could not be turned into silver. Everyone was resentful.
This matter caused a lot of uproar, and some people even began to criticize the court for its incompetence.
One morning during court, Xiao Mo was furious.
"This is what you call suppressing bandits. Half a year has passed without any results, and the fishermen in Dengzhou are getting angry. I will give you three days to come up with a plan immediately. But if you can't solve the problem of bandits in Dengzhou, I think you should all just retire and return home."
The officials who were scolded by Xiao Mo did not dare to say a word.
After a long while, Shi Bin finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Yu Fu Ma to lead the troops to Dengzhou to suppress the bandits."
"At the beginning, the trade route to Dengzhou was opened by Yu Fu Ma and his men. Now that there are problems, it is natural for Yu Fu Ma to solve them."
"General Shi, this is absolutely not feasible. According to the rules left by our ancestors, all prince consorts are not allowed to participate in politics."
"What Lord Song said is true. Why not let Lord Song go to suppress the bandits? I believe that with Lord Song's talent, he will definitely make the bandits submit to the imperial court and never dare to do things like highway robbery again."
The ministers in the court were all shrewd people and they could immediately detect Shi Bin's weird tone.
Lord Song is just a censor. Let alone asking him to suppress bandits, even if he were asked to ride a horse from the capital to Dengzhou, he would probably be exhausted to death.
Lord Song, who was standing aside, was so angry that he fumed and glared at Shi Bin.
"General Shi, what you said is a bit too much. You know clearly that I am a civil official. How could I possibly go and suppress bandits?"
"That's it. Why would a civil official like you interfere with the work of our military officers?"
As he spoke, Shi Bin looked at the generals in the hall.
"I don't know what the generals think. If you have a more suitable candidate, please speak up."
The generals looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
They had not expected that the bandits in Dengzhou were so difficult to deal with. In less than half a year, they had almost run all over Dengzhou, but they did not catch many bandits.
"I am very optimistic about Prince Consort Yu. I ask His Majesty to let Prince Consort Yu lead the troops to Dengzhou to suppress the bandits."
One general stood up, and then several more stood up one after another. They all hoped that Yu Feihong could lead the troops to suppress the bandits again.
"This is not a good idea. Prince Consort Yu has just remarried and I am sending him to suppress the bandits. I will have a hard time explaining this to the Princess."
Xiao Mo was delighted in his heart, but he looked very embarrassed.
Other civil officials no longer bothered about ancestral rules or anything like that; they just wanted to quickly resolve the troubles at hand.
Yu Feihong, who had just gotten married, was spending every day with An An. When the imperial edict was sent to the general's mansion to let him lead troops to suppress bandits, he was still a little reluctant.
"An An, what should I do if I don't want to go? I just want to see you every day."
Yu Feihong was like a piece of gummy candy, sticking tightly to An An.
Although he was the one who planned to go to Dengzhou to suppress the bandits again, he really didn't want to go now. In his eyes, nothing was more important than An An.
"How about I go with you?"
"what?"
Yu Feihong suddenly sat up straight and looked at An An in disbelief.
In his impression, An An has always been calm and never acts impulsively. He was really shocked when he suddenly said such words.
"How can I do that? It's very dangerous to go and fight bandits. If you get hurt, I won't be able to explain to the Emperor and Empress."
"You underestimate me too much. Although I have never been on the battlefield, my Kung Fu is not weak. I will definitely not hold you back if I go with you to fight the bandits."
"Besides, with you by my side, would you let the bandits hurt me?"
"That's impossible. Even if I get hurt, I won't let you get hurt."
"That's fine. I've never been to Dengzhou before, so it's a good opportunity for me to go with you and see the world."
"But the New Year is coming soon. We may not be able to come back in time to celebrate the New Year if we go to Dengzhou this time."
"It's okay. I'll tell my father and mother about this. I believe they will understand our difficulties."
Yu Feihong looked at An An's eyes that were full of hope, and finally couldn't help but nodded.
If they go to suppress the bandits, they can also bring An An with them. They can stay in Dongzhou for a while. An An likes to eat fish the most. The fish just caught from the sea is much more delicious than the fish that have traveled a long distance to be sent to the attack.
If possible, he would stay in Dengzhou until An An had enough fish to eat.
The two agreed to go to the palace together immediately.
Ye Jintang quite agreed with this. He felt that young people should go out more often instead of being trapped in the small princess mansion.
Xiao Mo was somewhat reluctant.
"An An, you are a girl, don't go to fight bandits. If you feel bored staying in the princess's mansion, why don't you stay in the palace? There are hot springs there and it's fun."
"Father, I am not a child anymore. Please let me go with Feihong. Besides, Feihong is so good at martial arts, he can protect me."
An An pulled Xiao Mo's arm and acted like a little girl, shaking it so much that Xiao Mo's head was buzzing, and he had no choice but to agree.
"Feihong, I leave An An to you. If anything happens to her, I will not let you go."
"Yes, please rest assured, Father and Mother."
Yu Feihong happily stepped forward and saluted Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang.
Seeing Yu Feihong and An An happily leaving the palace, Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang also smiled more.
According to Yu Feihong's plan, the two of them would stay in Dengzhou for about half a year.
However, they didn't expect that they would stay there for more than a year. It was not until An An became pregnant that they returned to the capital together.
However, Yu Feihong's military power was never taken back. At the General's Mansion, he trained his three younger brothers to serve in positions and soon gained a certain prestige in the army. By the time his second child was born, he had already established a firm foothold in the army, and no one dared to mention that the son-in-law of the emperor was not allowed to participate in politics.
Later, Shi Bin retired and Yu Feihong became his successor, commanding the 40-strong army of the Tianqin Kingdom.
This made many people worry about Xindi. If Yu Feihong wanted to rebel one day, it would only take a few minutes.
