Since coming to this time and space, Jing Xiaotian has been in a state of struggling for survival, wandering and anxious.
It wasn't until she was named Queen Mother that she truly felt the peace and tranquility in her heart.
No longer need to worry and live cautiously all day long.
I am afraid that if I accidentally say or do something wrong, I will lose my life.
Status changes mood, mood changes scenery.
At this time, even the moonlight was particularly soft in her eyes.
This peaceful and lazy time actually made Jing Xiaotian feel dazed for a moment.
It feels like I have returned to my college days, leisurely looking up at the bright moon in the summer evening breeze.
When Eunuch Zhu came in quietly, Jing Xiaotian was standing in front of the window, fascinated by the bright moon.
The clear light fell on her face, making her a mysterious, desolate and beautiful concubine.
Jing Xiaotian didn't look back and asked directly: "It's so late, what can I do?"
"Go back to the Queen Mother.
King Rui Haitongkuo wants to see you."
Seeing Jing Xiaotian's figure stiffen slightly, Eunuch Zhu looked a little displeased and quickly added: "It's said there is an urgent military situation."
Jing Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and he thought to himself: "It's really what I was afraid of.
The thing I was most worried about happened."
So, he slowly turned around and ordered: "Invite him in."
After a while, King Rui walked in with a solemn expression and said when he saw him: "The Queen Mother, Gao Hui, a subordinate of King Ning of the Char tribe, rebelled and colluded with the Xiyue Kingdom army to fight all the way to Leicheng, which is only two hundred miles away from Shilan."
When Jing Xiaotian heard this, his eyebrows immediately knitted together, and he said worriedly: "Why did we reach the hinterland so quickly?"
"Alas, after so many years of internal strife and massacres, now the talents are withering, the treasury is empty, the army is scattered, the people are in dire straits, the whole country is like a piece of scattered sand, and the Hai family is in danger."
King Rui said with tears in his eyes.
Over the years, he had witnessed the royal heirs plotting against each other and killing each other.
Excellent talents fell one after another due to internal strife, but he was unable to stop them.
In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to act like he was greedy for pleasure, ignored government affairs, and had no ambitions.
Only then was he able to survive in the cruel struggle.
However, his mind has always been very clear and he is always paying attention to the trends of the country.
After hearing this, Jing Xiaotian sighed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the most worried thing is the army of the Cha'er tribe.
Unexpectedly, there is no one in the Luo family, and they still rebelled.
At present, the only army we can use is Da Cang People from the Ministry.”
King Rui Haitongkuo said with a frown: "The army can still be mobilized, but there is no money and food for the army.
The Luo family has harmed the public and enriched private interests.
They emptied the treasury during the campaign against King Yong'an.
Now, there is only a mere five thousand taels in the treasury."
Silver.
How can we fight?"
After Jing Xiaotian heard this, he sighed in his heart: "It would be great if Zhao Dan was here."
But it cannot be mentioned in the mouth.
Now, this moment is too sensitive.
Rehabilitating and reactivating Zhao Dan involves too many people and things.
We can only deal with the current mess first.
If we don't do it well, we will really have to change the dynasty.
Jing Xiaotian filtered the available people in his mind over and over again.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of Ma Qin.
He quickly sent Eunuch Zhu to summon Ma Qin to the palace.
At the same time, Princess Tianyue, Wen Shaohua, and other officials were also invited to Fukang Hall.

In front of everyone, Jing Xiaotian said directly: "Ma Qin, immediately raise one hundred thousand taels of silver from Ziyang territory and send it to Shilan City."
Ma Qin glanced at the people in the room and said nothing.
Jing Xiaotian glanced at Ma Qin and said seriously: "Now, it is a moment when the army is pressing down on the border and the country is in danger.
When the nest is overthrown, the eggs will not be finished.
If the rebels really attack Shilan City, it is difficult to say whether their lives can be saved, let alone the silver coins.
So, No matter how much money we have in our territory, we must put the overall situation first.”
On the surface, these words are meant for Ma Qin, but in fact they are also hitting the people in this room: "Young tyrant, I love you."
Jing Xiaotian said, his eyes constantly scanning everyone's faces.
These people quickly lowered their heads and dodged.
Ma Qin understood Jing Xiaotian's intentions and said loudly: "Yes, I will go back and sell the cattle and sheep to collect enough silver to send them over."
After that, he retreated and returned to his territory to prepare some silver.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressing.
Jing Xiaotian said coldly: "Without the skin, the hair will wither.
As an emperor and a courtier, everyone here should know very well that if Gao Hui really brings If the Xiyue Kingdom's army enters Shilan City, they will burn, kill, loot and take captives.
The wealth you have accumulated over the generations will be completely lost."
As soon as Jing Xiaotian finished speaking, Hai Tongkuo expressed his position: "I donate 50,000 taels of silver.
At the same time, I request to lead troops to fight against the invaders.
I am a member of the Hai family, and it is my duty to protect the country built by my ancestors."
After hearing this, Hai Tianyue couldn't help but look at the imperial uncle who in her impression only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and thought to herself: After all, we are from the Hai family, and there is always a bloody spirit in our bones.
He immediately expressed his position: "I will also donate 50,000 taels.
At the same time, the personnel of the Da Cang Department and the food and grass are available to the country at any time."
After hearing this, Jing Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little moved.
No matter how intrigued they usually are, at this time, these people can finally unite and speak to the outside world.
This is really gratifying.
In just three days, a team of 100,000 people was assembled.
Three million taels of military salary were also raised.
Wearing armor, Hai Tongkuo took his son Hai Jianan and set off with pride.
This prince, who had been dormant for many years because he did not want to be involved in the family fight for the right to inherit the throne, and did not want to involve fratricide, and who was jokingly called useless, stepped forward to safeguard the dignity of the royal family at the most critical moment.
Jing Xiaotian vaguely saw the word noble from his body.
After seeing off the expedition team and returning to the main hall, it was already dark.
Jing Xiaotian rubbed his temples slightly tiredly, and began to read the pile of memorials without taking a rest.
Jing Xiaotian was frightened by the urgent documents requesting rescue.
Faced with the Xiyue Kingdom's momentum sweeping the world and marching straight into the imperial city, Jing Xiaotian felt really worried for Hai Tongkuo and his son.
She knew very well that at this time, the only one who could turn the tide was Zhao Dan.
However, after Zhao Dan escaped from the Marsh Prison, there was no news, and Jing Xiaotian did not know where he was.
Besides, Hai Tongkuo and his son led the army and marched all the way to the northwest.
On the road, I met border residents fleeing the war from time to time.
After asking around, I found out that Leicheng had been lost, the city had been plundered, and the army of the Xiyue Kingdom was heading towards Shilan City.
After hearing this, Hai Tongkuo hurriedly accelerated his march and rushed to the Heishui City in front, where he stationed himself and stood ready.
Blackwater City is not big, but it is a choke point and the last hurdle leading to Shilan.
Not long after Hai Tongkuo was stationed, a large group of troops from Xiyue Kingdom arrived
