At night.
There was a chill in the Weiyang Palace.
The candlelight flickered and the shadows swayed.
Emperor Feng coughed lightly while still reviewing documents.
The empty hall was as quiet as death.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost three o'clock..."
"call."
Emperor Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
He rubbed his eyes.
He picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip of hot tea.
Steward Hu, looking worried, whispered, "Your Majesty, your health is paramount. The Queen Mother has instructed me to constantly remind you of this. She also said that the nation relies on its eldest son, and that if there is no heir, it will be a disaster for the nation. The Queen went to complain a few days ago, saying that she is alone in her empty room every day."
"That's all."
Emperor Feng had no choice but to put down the porcelain bowl.
"Let's go to the Pepper Palace."
The Queen Mother continued to urge the birth.
But her concerns were not unfounded.
Since you are the emperor, you have no private affairs.
Everything that the emperor does is a matter of national importance.
It would be disadvantageous to him if he had no offspring.
It’s just that Emperor Feng is too diligent in his work.
I will never rest until all government affairs are handled.
After all, he had just taken office and was eager to achieve results.
"Report—"
"Express the Yanmen Pass for 800 miles!"
"Prince Ning led three thousand elite troops to destroy Dragon City!"
"Capture the golden figure for offering sacrifices to heaven and capture the Liao Dynasty's retired emperor, Yelu Junda, alive!"
"Over 5,000 people were beheaded and captured!"
"good!"
Emperor Feng stopped and instantly became alert. He eagerly held the military book, looked at the detailed information on it, and suddenly laughed heartily.
"Hahaha!"
“Okay, okay, okay!!!”
"Xiao Ning is really unexpected!"
"Leading an army for the first time, I broke through the Mobei grassland!"
"Tens of thousands of Liao elite troops surrounded and suppressed them, but Xiao Ning was able to bring the elite troops back to Yanmen. With minimal losses, he severely damaged the morale of the Liao."
In fact, neither country suffered much loss in this battle.
The Liao Kingdom's losses were not significant.
The key is morale!
It's not easy to restore morale once it's gone.
This battle completely brought out the spirit of Dafeng!
"Announce this to the world, promote Ning Que to the rank of Grand General, and increase his fief by 800 households!"
"promise!"
Manager Hu was also very happy.
After all, Ning Que made great contributions this time!
The title of Grand General was originally a genuine official position, commanding all troops. Later, as Dafeng continued to develop, it gradually became a title. For example, Gu Yuan was a first-rank Grand General. Ning Que's brothers were also posthumously awarded the title of Grand General.
General Zhongwu!
General of the Cavalry!
General Fu Bo!
…
There are countless examples like this.
There were many people in Dafeng who could hold the title of Grand General. Granting Ning Que the title of Grand General after this battle was a sign of recognition. After all, given his record, few in Dafeng could claim to have achieved it.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to the Pepper Room?"
"I'm not going." Emperor Feng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Notify all civil and military officials immediately and hold a court meeting tomorrow morning. Also, issue an imperial decree to inform Feng Wuzhe immediately. I must conquer Shuofang as quickly as possible and completely destroy the Liao Kingdom's will to resist!"
"promise……"
Manager Hu was also quite helpless.
Who made Emperor Feng so diligent in his work?
…
…
Yanmen Pass.
Ning Que slowly opened his eyes.
I just feel sore and weak all over.
I looked around, my head feeling dizzy.
I can't muster any strength.
My throat felt like a knife and even swallowing was difficult.
He glanced beside the bed.
Shen Qinghe just lay there.
“Water…water…”
Shen Qinghe suddenly woke up.
When he saw Ning Que open his eyes, he immediately shouted in joy, "Divine Doctor Chang, Divine Doctor Chang! Xiao Ning has woken up!"
"Don't worry."
"I'll get you some water."
"Um."
Ning Que now even had difficulty nodding.
I could only blink in response.
A moment later, Chang Baicao arrived first.
After raising his hand to feel the pulse, he nodded.
"Okay, he's fine now."
"The next step is mainly rest and recuperation."
"I'll prepare some meat porridge for him."
"Don't feed too much water, give small amounts and multiple times."
"good."
Shen Qinghe nodded.
Then he helped feed Ning Que water.
Follow Chang Baicao's instructions and take small amounts multiple times.
After feeding, Shen Qinghe sat down.
"You, you still love to show off like before."
"You talked about sharing life and death, yet you kept your injuries so serious, yet you kept it to yourself. You don't know that after you fainted, Tie Niu and the others were so anxious that they almost drew their swords and committed suicide. They've been depressed these past few days and are still waiting outside."
Shen Qinghe was not idle either.
He blew gently on the meat porridge on the spoon.
"Open your mouth."
"ah……"
"Aren't you usually quite talkative?" Shen Qinghe rolled her eyes at Ning Que, but still handed him the spoon. "You're lucky. You even dared to scare Liang Yili in the end. If I really had to fight to the death to keep you, what would you have done? Would you have fought them to the death with your seriously injured body? The battle hadn't even started yet, so why would you have fought so hard?"
Ning Que swallowed the meat porridge.
Looking at Shen Qinghe.
He has recovered a little now.
"You don't understand. The situation was unclear and dangerous. If I hadn't held on, none of us would have made it back. But I didn't expect to be injured so badly."
"And..."
Shen Qinghe glanced at Ning Que coquettishly.
Although he complained a little, he still fed her porridge.
