The Taiji Hall had returned to its former splendor and orderliness. The young eunuchs and palace maids stood at their posts, fulfilling their duties conscientiously.

It's just a change of emperor and a change of people, the gears of order will still continue to move forward along the established track.

"Regent, Emperor... ahem, Young General Gu, you are finally here. It took me so long to find you." Ye Xiuqiong poked his head out from behind the mountain of memorials and looked pitifully at the two people who came together, feeling very sad.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" Etiquette must be obeyed, so Ye Nan performed the formalities and bowed.

"The Ye Nanyi I know is the one who is the least knowledgeable about etiquette and rules. You and I have known each other for more than ten years. There is no need to be like this." Ye Xiuqiong supported his forehead helplessly and walked out.

"Actually it is true..." Gu Junwen simply couldn't bear to watch it. The thought of being lazy was almost written on his face.

"Your Majesty." The chief guard knelt on one knee outside the door and reported loudly, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Saibei. The gentlemen are waiting outside the door."

"What!" Ye Xiuqiong staggered with a big mouth. Originally, he just wanted to find an excuse, but who knew it would become a reality.

Not noticing the unusual expressions of the two people behind him, Ye Xiuqiong finally took the emperor's dignity into consideration, dressed up, and stepped out of the palace.

Half an hour of arguing passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Junwen suppressed his tenth yawn and complained to System 101: "Everyone, isn't it just that Beiying led his troops southward, and the northern border defense is in danger? They have been arguing here for so long, what are they arguing about?"

"The art of language." System 101 nodded and analyzed the data carefully. "The new emperor has just ascended the throne and his foundation is unstable. This is a great opportunity to show loyalty and accumulate strength. Moreover, the new emperor is a military man, so he will definitely use military men. When military men gain power, civil officials will inevitably be suppressed.

So the selection of people to be sent to quell the riot is a big question, and there are many twists and turns involved.”

"It has been less than ten days since His Majesty ascended the throne. It is indeed difficult for him." Gu Junwen yawned quietly, "Let's wait and see."

"Does Young General Gu have anything to say?" The old tutor's voice was like a loud bell, piercing through the roof and instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does not mind, I am willing to lead the troops to the northern frontier."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal. The Gu family has guarded the northern frontier for generations. If General Gu is in charge of this battle, it will be twice as effective with half the effort."

"Your Majesty, the burial of the heroes of the Yebei Army is also in need of manpower. As a son and a general, it is reasonable for General Gu to go to the northern frontier in person."

The officials were originally attacking each other, but suddenly they became unprecedentedly united.

"Gu Junwen is also a meritorious official who has served the emperor. It will be easier to get things done if we do him a favor."

"As long as they are not from the opposite family, it doesn't matter who goes."

From an invisible angle, Gu Junwen curled the corners of his lips sarcastically. All these abacus beads were jumping on her face. She was really Qi Sheng's right-hand man. After counting them carefully, there were only a few who really cared about the war in Saibei.

Decades of accumulated problems could not be cleared up overnight. For the sake of everyone she knew, she would go.

She thought that the original owner would be happy with it as well.

If this war is successful, there will be no more gun smoke and fire in the northern part of the Sai for decades, and Qisheng will have a safe border for decades. By then, the northern part of the Sai will be settled, the four borders will be smooth, and the people will be happy, and she will be able to retire with success.

When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. When the enemy country is defeated, the counselors die.

She didn't have the energy to bet on people's hearts, so it was better to get out of the turbulence.

"Your Majesty, I have another request."

"Mr. Gu, please feel free to speak." Ye Xiuqiong sat on the dragon throne and glanced at Ye Nan in what he thought was a subtle way.

"I have read the ancient scrolls. In ancient times, when a large army went out to fight, there was a ceremony of master, and when a large army returned, there was a ceremony of triumph. If we return victorious this time, I hope Your Majesty will grant this honor to our victorious soldiers."

"Approved." Ye Xiuqiong laughed, "In a country of rituals and music, this is how it should be. Don't worry, if you return victorious, don't miss this ceremony."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qisheng has been in a peaceful era for a long time, and the literati have been suppressing the military men for a long time. Gu Junwen just wants to win the honor that the soldiers deserve.

He fought on the battlefield, in the flames of war, and fought back from life and death. His achievements should not be forgotten.

"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please dismiss the court!" Civil and military officials dispersed one after another. Ye Nanyi stood in his seat for a long time with dignity before he walked towards the direction where Gu Junwen left.

She didn't even wait for me, does that mean she doesn't love me anymore? Ye Nanyi muttered to himself, feeling aggrieved and looking down at the bluestone tiles under his feet.

"Your Highness the Regent, I'm waiting for you, don't look at the floor." A smiling voice came from the side. Ye Nan turned around and bumped into Gu Junwen's playful eyes.

"You, I told you not to read my mind!" Ye Nanyi protested "angrily", but he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes.

Finally, they got out of the palace safely. Ye Nanyi squeezed into the Gu family's carriage skillfully. Shen Anan was not surprised. He raised the whip and the carriage started slowly.

It was noisy outside the car, but it was so quiet inside.

It was Ye Nanyi who broke the silence first: "Are you really going? You don't want me to accompany you?"

"A son of a wealthy family should not sit idle. Don't worry, the emperor and his subjects are united in the Qisheng Dynasty, and the army is in high spirits. With you in the rear, the tragedy of the past will not happen again." Gu Junwen peeled a grape and stuffed it into Ye Nanyi's mouth.

"Try it, it's quite sweet, sent from the Western Regions."

Indulging in the fragrance of the grape juice, Ye Nan thought for a long time and looked at the

The boy's clean profile: "When can I see you wearing women's clothes?"

With a face full of doubts, Gu Junwen still answered seriously: "Anytime. Forget it, let's do it after we come back. It would be bad if it shakes the morale of the army."

Gu Junwen stuffed another grape into his mouth. He didn't expect that this was just the beginning of Ye Nanyi's countless questions.
