On this day, Eunuch Wang came to the border with the emperor's edict.
The imperial edict stated that if the war was won and the Tatar barbarians were driven out, Murong Yuanbo would be transferred back to the capital.
He also said that the imperial court was willing to purchase the rice seeds from Princess Xiangyun at a high price.
"Eunuch Wang, tell the Emperor that if the grain seeds are given to the court for free, the court must also give them to the people for free."
Gao Zhijun said to Eunuch Wang.
She never thought of collecting money from the court. The reason she experimented with hybrid rice was to ensure that the people of Daliang could have enough food to eat. Otherwise, she would just grow some rice.
"My daughter, why don't you want the silver? The national treasury has plenty of silver, and the emperor also has a lot of silver. What's wrong with asking for some?"
Murong Yuanbo disagreed with Gao Zhijun's approach. He must not let his daughter suffer a loss from the crops she grew, even if it was the emperor.
"Dad, when we first started experimenting with hybrid rice, it was all so the people could have enough food to eat and live a good life. How could we forget our original intention just for the sake of money? Besides, I own ice cream, a rouge shop, and a forget-me-not shop. The profits from these shops are enough to cover our expenses."
Gao Zhijun said, "The profits from these shops are enough to cover the expenses of the clinic. That's enough."
"Well, my daughter will say whatever she wants. Anyway, the General's Mansion has enough money for her to spend."
When Murong Yuanbo heard his daughter say this, he stopped worrying about it. After all, the general's mansion had enough money for his daughter to spend for the rest of her life.
"My lord, you are so righteous. I will report the truth to the Emperor."
Eunuch Wang said admiringly.
"Thank you very much, eunuch. When are you going back? If you take Jinqian with you, we should be able to catch up with the imperial examination."
Gao Zhijun thought of Huo Jinqian and wanted Eunuch Wang to send Jinqian back to Beijing. He brought all the masters of the palace with him, so she could rest assured about his safety.
"Zhijun, I won't go back. If I can't take the exam this year, I'll take it next year. Besides, we agreed to go to the capital together. How can I abandon you and go to the capital at this critical moment? Do you want me to be a person who breaks my promise?"
Huo Jinqian refused.
He couldn't let Zhijun stay here. He was worried about him going to the capital.
"You're being too kind. How can you say you're breaking your promise? This isn't a special case. You go back and take the exam first. I'll go to the capital in a while."
Gao Zhijun persuaded.
How can such a grown man be as clingy as a child?
"How long is a while?"
Huo Jinqian asked Gao Zhijun.
"One month at the fastest, two months at the slowest."
Gao Zhijun gave an approximate date.
With ten crossbows and grenades, the battle should be over in ten days. We still have to stay behind to deal with the aftermath, which will take some time.
"No, I'm not going to the capital."
Two months is too long and he doesn't want to go to the capital.
There were too many unknown factors in the past two months, and he was worried.
"Think about your grandparents, uncle and aunt. They have just arrived in the capital and are unfamiliar with life. Without us around, they must be lost and uncomfortable. You have to go back and take care of them."
Seeing his firm attitude, Gao Zhijun decided to appeal to his emotions and reason with him.
"This, this, but I'm worried about you!"
Huo Jinqian thought of his grandparents, parents and others, and became a little shaken.
When he thought that Gao Zhijun might be in danger if she stayed here, he didn't want to go to the capital.
"As for me, don't worry. I have my father and elder brother to protect me. I also have the ability to protect myself. Are you still worried? Think about your mother. You don't want to seek revenge. Only by passing the imperial examination can you have the ability to fight against them."
Seeing that Huo Jinqian was a little shaken, Gao Zhijun continued to persuade him.
"Well, okay! You must be careful and go to the capital safely. I will wait for you to come back there."
Huo Jinqian finally gave up. Zhijun was right. Only by passing the imperial examination could he avenge his mother.
"Princess, Master Huo, because of the war, the Emperor has moved the autumn examination to October. Master Huo can come to the capital with you."
Eunuch Wang told Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian that the emperor had changed the date of the autumn examination.
"It's changed! That's great! Zhijun, we can go to the capital together."
Huo Jinqian said happily.
"If it's October, we can indeed go to Beijing together."
After more than ten days of fighting, we should be able to deal with it here in twenty days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we can go to Beijing and catch up with the imperial examination.
This time the emperor agreed to let his father go back, and Gao Zhijun gave him some detoxification pills, a life-extending pill and two heart-saving pills.
There should be elderly people in the palace, and they need to have ready-made life-extending pills and heart-saving pills.
The next day, Eunuch Wang returned to the capital to report.
After seeing off Eunuch Wang, Murong Yuanbo gathered the soldiers and gave them a speech, asking them to be ready to start attacking Tatar tomorrow and end the war as soon as possible.
After returning to the yard, he told Liu Ningchu and Gao Zhijun not to go anywhere and that it was safest to stay in the military camp.
Liu Ningchu and Gao Zhijun agreed. What Gao Zhijun didn't tell Murong Yuanbo was that she was working in logistics and joined the military as a doctor to treat the wounded.
She planned to take Mo Xue away secretly and leave Qinglong behind to protect her mother and Jin Qian.
The next day, after breakfast, Gao Zhijun and Mo Xue disguised themselves as medicine boys and blended in with the military doctors.
After breakfast in the military camp, the soldiers quickly gathered with the beating of drums and blowing of trumpets. Murong Yuanbo and the General of Cavalry said some words of encouragement, and the team started to set off.
Murong Yuanbo rode his horse and led his troops out of the military camp and went to Panlong Town. Then he opened the city gate and the soldiers rushed out of the city and ran towards the Tatar garrison.
They shouted loudly all the way, the sound was so loud and deafening.
Gao Zhijun was looking at the formation in front from behind. This was her first time seeing an ancient army marching and fighting, and it turned out to be such a magnificent formation.
In their previous lives, they had always carried out surprise attacks, fearing that the enemy would hear them and alert them. But this was not the case. The noise was so loud, as if to tell the enemy how powerful they were, and to make them flee in fear.
