"How long?"
Wei Yunyi shook his head and said, "The Baiyue have always been a major threat to my southern border. At the previous imperial meeting, I decided that this time, we must strike with one blow. Even if we can't completely conquer the Baiyue, we must at least ensure the stability of the southern border for the next few decades."
Having said this, he turned to look at Concubine Ying, a smile on his face, and said: "I know that you feel a little reluctant, and the Queen is the same, but this is a matter of state, I have no choice but to do so, you must be more understanding."
"The Queen is pregnant. You should go out more often after I leave. You don't need to deal with the memorials day and night. You should rest when you need to. Even if something big happens, I will take care of it. Don't feel stressed. As my beloved concubine, I will feel bad if you work too hard."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Lingying, who originally had a trace of reluctance on her face, immediately began to change her expression.
She knew that His Majesty had always cared about her, even though he rarely said it.
But just based on what he just said.
Zhao Lingying felt very satisfied.
It is indeed hard work to deal with memorials, but if your Majesty cares about you, what does it matter?
Then, she took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will definitely keep it in mind."
Wei Yunyi also nodded, and after chatting with the other party for a few more words, he went to the Queen's Palace.
As mentioned before, he is leading the army in person and it is unknown when he will be back.
The queen is pregnant, so before leaving, you must spend more time with her.
As for the queen, she is worthy of the reputation of being virtuous.
He felt reluctant, but didn't say much. He just wanted Wei Yunyi to feel at ease.
Both of the two concubines in the harem are very steady and generous, and they know what is most important.
Wei Yunyi was also very happy about this.
Without any worries, he can give full play to his abilities in this imperial expedition.
Of course there is one more thing, which is about alchemy.
The young Taoist priest is still refining the Chongyuan Pill.
It seems that I can’t wait any longer.
But this is nothing. Wei Yunyi only needs to instruct that after the elixir is refined, it can be directly delivered to Zhenbei Pass over 800 miles. According to his estimation, this imperial expedition will take at least three months and at most half a year.
Therefore, he told Longyu that before he came back, every time a pill was refined, it should be sent to Zhennan Pass.
Naturally, Longyu would have no objection to this, as it had no impact on her anyway.
As for the final arrangements.
That is to determine the accompanying personnel.
When the emperor leads an army in person, his actions are completely different from those of ordinary generals.
In addition to military generals, civil officials also need someone to follow them. After all, not every matter can be handed over to the cabinet for handling.
However, the question of who should follow the emperor had sparked a debate. Following the emperor in person was considered an honor for both civil officials and military generals, as it demonstrated their importance to the emperor.
Moreover, those who followed him had more time to spend with the emperor, so naturally many civil servants wanted to follow him.
Wei Yunyi didn't care about this at all, because in his eyes, it didn't matter who followed him.
However, in order to expand the scale of this time, more money can be spent.
He felt the need to name a few names himself.
The first is my father-in-law.
Ever since promoting the other party, the father-in-law has been making trouble.
Whether it was the political reform or the border trade, this person had dealt him a heavy blow.
Wei Yunyi felt that he had to bring his father-in-law with him on this expedition. It would be safer to keep him by his side. Otherwise, what if he attacked him at the critical moment?
Then there is the Minister of War, whom he feels should also be brought along so that he can understand the war situation on all sides at all times and make corresponding decisions.
As for Zhang Zhengming and the other two cabinet ministers, forget about them.
The capital is very important.
We must have the Taifu as the backbone.
The other party was mature and prudent, and could stabilize the rear. After all, he was only trying to curb the country's fortune, not to destroy it directly. And with the emperor away from the capital, Zhang Zhengming's methods were completely capable of maintaining the operation of a huge dynasty.
With the assistance of the other two grand secretaries, there will definitely be no problems.
certainly.
Wei Yunyi felt that it was necessary to bring some imperial censors along.
For example, this time when he led the army in person and made certain decisions, he let these censors speak, and some military generals objected, and then he made the decision arbitrarily, which showed his own stubbornness.
However, during this period, he did not forget another more important thing.
He directly issued an order to inform Song Hongzhi, who was far away in Gaoyang, not to mobilize any troops in the near future. Even if he did, they could only be used to quell the chaos in Gaoyang.
The reason he did this was that Wei Yunyi was really scared. His brother-in-law was too troublesome and ran around everywhere.
Who knows if the other party will continue to cause trouble while he is leading the army in person?
The only way to force the other party to do this is to restrict their behavior.
To ensure during this period.
Nothing will happen that will lead to an increase in the country's fortunes.
Some ministers did not quite understand this, but they did not have any major objections.
After all, the enemies of Wei Dynasty now hardly pose a big threat.
There is no need for the champion to go to the battle.
that's all.
Time passes by little by little.
Until this day, Wei Yunyi got up early.
I changed clothes with the help of palace maids, but it was different from usual.
At this moment, he was wearing a suit of armor with a black background and gold patterns. His shoulder armor and chest armor were engraved with golden dragon patterns, making him look mighty and domineering.
