...
evening.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time, Yu Huatian was kneeling in front of Cao Cao and Cai Jing.
The latter said calmly: "I have promised you before that I will support you to a position equal to Wei Zhongxian.
Now that so much time has passed, you've managed to remain calm and haven't even once revealed your true identity."
Yu Huatian didn't even dare to raise his head, and said respectfully:
"I believe that the Prime Minister will not deceive me. Perhaps the time is not right yet.
But I am willing to wait for this opportunity, and I have time to wait."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "You think this way. Both I and the Prime Minister are very pleased. Don't worry, what is yours will be yours.
But you must remember who helped you get to the top, and who you should serve."
The words were so clear, Yu Huatian immediately said solemnly: "I swear to heaven that I will be loyal to the Prime Minister and the Prince for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning!"
In this day and age, a vow is a heavy commitment.
Cao Cao angrily said, "Foolish! You must remember that we are all His Majesty's subjects. Your most important duty is to serve His Majesty.
Secondly, I will think about repaying your kindness."
...
The next day.
Go to the palace.
Daji summoned all civil and military officials to the court to discuss matters.
This was the first time she had sat here since Ying Yuan returned from his journey across the world.
Of course, he was sitting next to Ying Yuan's dragon throne.
In fact, Daji could sit on the dragon throne.
After all, she was the queen and the regent appointed by Ying Yuan.
But she didn't want to.
She just wants to be the woman behind Ying Yuan.
She has things that she holds on to.
She was afraid that once she sat on that chair, she would have some bad thoughts.
Looking at the civil and military officials, Daji did not show any fear and said bluntly: "Minister of Works Sima Yi, Minister of Revenue Heshen, I have a question for you two.
Since Your Majesty's expedition was rather hasty, some of the baggage and equipment had not yet been prepared, which is understandable.
However, the military situation is urgent, and those supplies will save many lives for my soldiers. I wonder when you two adults plan to transport all the supplies needed for the expedition to the front line?"
Hear the sound.
Sima Yi pretended to keep silent with his head down.
He Shen didn't notice his expression, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said:
"Her Majesty, according to preliminary estimates, the military supplies, including food, horses, and arrows, will take at least a month and a half."
Daji frowned and said, "It's been too long. First, mobilize all the manpower to transport food and arrows to the front line. The Chu army has already reached the Hangu Pass.
I suspect our army will have to defend the city for a while before launching a counterattack. Food, fodder, and arrows are the lifeblood of our soldiers, so we cannot afford to delay.
Can it be transported to Hangu Pass in half a month?"
"this..."
Heshen was a little hesitant.
Daji looked unhappy, "Hmm?"
Hearing this, He Shen immediately bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best."
"It's not about trying your best, it's about making sure! This battle is about the fate of our country. I hope all the ministers will do their utmost and not slack off."
Daji said earnestly.
All the officials bowed in unison and said, "Yes."
Then, Daji looked at Cao Cao again and said with a smile, "The King of Wei is the Minister of War. If there is any urgent military information on the front line, please inform me as soon as possible.
I heard that the enemy army from Jin is advancing very quickly. I wonder where they are now? Is Youyun still in the hands of the imperial court?
