The new emperor, barely a month into his reign, was eager to launch a war, unsurprisingly meeting opposition from the entire court, both civil and military officials. Some even thought that women, after all, were short on knowledge and long on hair.
Do you think being an emperor is a joke?
One minister stiffened his neck and retorted, "Your Majesty, this... we are launching a war without a clear purpose..."
Without Yan Miaoling saying anything, Feng Peiyi, the leader of the group, stepped forward to answer, "Master Li, you've been living in comfort for so long. Have you forgotten how the Luolie Kingdom, the predecessor of the Rus Kingdom, seized cities from our Dazhao territory five hundred years ago?"
Ministers, “…” This is such an old thing from many years ago, yet they can still be used to make a fuss.
At the same time, on Chi Ao's side, Cole Chaochen had similar questions, but was blocked by Chi Ao's same reply.
Well, while the reason might be far-fetched, it's certainly traceable. Furthermore, if we trace it back further, Dazhao and the predecessor of Kor were originally one country. It was the invasion of the Luolie Kingdom that split it into three. One became Dazhao, one became Kor, and ten cities were occupied by the invaders.
The doubts continued, and the Minister of Revenue bowed and said, "Your Majesty, war requires money, and our treasury is empty..."
Yan Miaoling glanced at Jin Xuhe, the "special guest" of the morning court.
Jin Xuhe immediately stepped forward and, as the head of the Jin family, promised to provide material assistance in recovering the lost territory.
At this moment, the ministers finally understood. The emperor had indeed made preparations long ago. No wonder Jin Xuhe, a commoner, was allowed to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony and participate in the meeting.
The Ministry of Revenue won’t nag you this time.
Yan Miaoling didn't give them a chance to raise further questions and took the initiative to convey the order, "Jinyiwei Commander Si Youhong, I order you to immediately assume the position of Commander of the Shenjiying. Focus on the research and development of firearms and their production to prepare for emergency use in war!"
As soon as these words were spoken, some court officials expressed dissatisfaction. This was especially true of the officials from the former Shenjiying Commander's faction. "Your Majesty, this may be inappropriate! Mr. Si has served for many years but has no experience in firearms manufacturing. Could it be..."
Yan Miaoling clapped her hands.
The eunuch received the message and shouted, "Wanyan Brady, the former head of firearms of Xuanluo State, is here to see you!"
"Ah? Is it the Russian genius who specializes in the development of firearms?" A minister who knew the name wondered.
Yan Miaoling smiled and asked Wanyan Brady, who had come in to kneel, to stand up. She then looked at the minister who had spoken, "Minister Sun, you are correct! This is none other than Mr. Brady, the genius firearms maker from the Russian Empire! He has now come to Dazhao and has been registered as a citizen of our country. From now on, he is a Dazhao citizen!"
"Ah?" The ministers were stunned and whispered to each other, "I never thought Your Majesty could actually find a way to invite this old stubborn man!"
"Yes, yes, that's a good trick!"
Hearing the minister's mumbling, Wanyan Brady felt the blood rushing up in his chest and he was about to vomit.
Do you think he is willing?
One night, this woman suddenly appeared. After beating him up with both courtesy and force and holding his family hostage, he had no choice but to surrender. Otherwise, faced with life and death, he would have no regard for national justice. Let's just assume that technology knows no borders. After all, we're all working for the advancement of humanity.
Yan Miaoling looked around and asked, "Do you have any questions about this battle to reclaim lost territory?"
Everyone looked at each other. Silence fell.
Until Yan Miaoling proposed to lead the army in person.
One minister couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable! You've only been on the throne for a month, and you already have so many things to attend to. How can you possibly travel thousands of miles to personally lead an army? Who will then manage the affairs of state? Most importantly, swords are merciless on the battlefield. What if you injure your majesty? What will we do?"
Yan Miaoling curled her lips and smiled, deliberately keeping the topic in suspense. "State affairs? Of course I will handle them myself. Lord Xia, don't worry."
One general thought she was saying this because she wanted someone else to lead the army in her place just to motivate the soldiers and gain some kind of reputation. Feeling dissatisfied, he deliberately found fault and raised the issue, "So, Your Majesty, what do you mean by leading the army in person..."
Of course, there were those who were dissatisfied, but Yan Miaoling didn't show any anger at all. Instead, she split into two right before everyone's eyes, so fast that it almost made people dizzy.
Then, she smiled knowingly, "General Wu, I was just about to tell you. I'm not familiar with the terrain before heading to the battlefield this time, so I'd like to trouble you, General Wu, to lead the way!"
General Wu stared at the two emperors, completely stunned.
If the people around him hadn't stopped him, he would have been in a daze until the end of the court.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Yan Miaoling didn't wait any longer. She stood up from the dragon throne and slowly walked down the white marble steps, splitting into nine parts as she walked.
Their clothes, height, appearance and expression are exactly the same.
It can't be multiple births.
At this time, Nanjia, the Imperial Preceptor, appeared and explained, "This humble monk once deciphered the secrets of heaven. Our Emperor is the reincarnation of an immortal. He possesses the power to divide one into ten, and even the ability to travel thousands of miles. So, my lords, rest assured. Whether in the court or on the battlefield, our Emperor can handle both effortlessly."
Nanjia, dressed in white and resembling an immortal, retracted the ministers' suspicions that Yan Miaoling was a demonic evildoer. They accepted Nanjia's explanation that Yan Miaoling's ability to split into two bodies was due to her having been an immortal in her previous life, possessing boundless magical powers.
At this point, Yan Miaoling's image became even more majestic.
No one dared to object to the proposal of the emperor going on an expedition.
...
The emperor could teleport into multiple avatars. Once this secret was revealed, it quickly spread throughout the capital of Dazhao.
Then it spread throughout the country and even to the neighboring country of Cole.
Yan Miaoling took advantage of the situation and traveled to Kerr's morning court, demonstrating her ability to clone herself. Everyone was amazed and impressed. She seemed less resistant to their emperor's proposal to marry the Dazhao Empress.
