"Your Majesty, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future monarch of our Daqing Dynasty, and he should be in charge of the capital!" The Grand Secretary knelt directly on the ground.
"Isn't it enough that I am in charge of Kyoto? I am not old enough to be unable to take care of myself. The prince is still young and should have some experience outside. Moreover, I believe that the prince will not let me down!"
The emperor had made up his mind and remained indifferent no matter how they tried to persuade him. Only the Minister of War was the most proud. He knelt down and shouted:
"Your Majesty is wise, and Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"
Helian Jing and Xiao Hechuan looked at each other and watched him act quietly.
Finally, the Grand Councillors were dismissed, leaving only Helian Jing and Xiao Hechuan alone to discuss matters.
It would have been fine to leave Helian Jing alone, but the Minister of War did not expect that Xiao Hechuan would be left behind as well.
You are just a young boy. Don't think you are great just because you are favored by the emperor. In the future, when he has power, there will be plenty of ways to deal with him and make it impossible for him to stay in the court. Then his official career will be over.
No one knew what the two of them talked about with the emperor in the imperial study. All they knew was that they stayed in there for a full hour before coming out.
That afternoon, another imperial edict was issued. It was an imperial decree appointing Crown Prince Helian Jing as the Grand Marshal of the Army, and ordering him to personally lead an expedition to the border and direct the naval battle. He also appointed Marquis Zhenbei as the deputy marshal, the eldest son of Marquis Zhenbei as the left vanguard general, and the eldest son of Marquis Xuanping as the right vanguard general, and they were to go to the border together to participate in the war.
At the same time, the emperor promoted Xiao Hechuan to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. There could be two Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, and there happened to be a vacant position.
His promotion speed is quite fast.
As soon as these imperial edicts were issued, the first person to express disapproval was Anle. She had only been married to Cheng Moyang for a few months, and now her father had arranged for him to go to the battlefield. As soon as he went there, there would be a naval battle. The situation on the sea was unpredictable. If anything happened, he would be buried in the sea without a complete body.
However, Cheng Moyang was quite happy and excited to hear that he was named the Right Vanguard General. He finally won an opportunity to prove his worth and show his abilities.
Anle couldn't understand, so despite Cheng Moyang's obstruction, he ran to the palace to find his father.
"Father, why did you arrange for Mo Yang to go to the border battlefield?"
Facing his daughter's question, the emperor simply looked at her calmly and replied:
"He is a military commander. It is perfectly normal to arrange for him to fight in battles. Moreover, a good man has great ambitions. It is not the behavior of a gentleman to always be content with pleasure and not make achievements. You only know how to question why I made such an arrangement. Have you ever thought that this might be the arrangement that the prince consort has always dreamed of?"
Anle was speechless, her eyes were red, but when she thought about the excitement and excitement on Cheng Moyang's face when he received the imperial edict, it didn't seem like he was acting.
She has always known that he wanted to prove his true worth, even if it meant fighting evil and upholding justice. Now that he has been given the opportunity to achieve success, how could he not be excited?
"Anle, the emperor is old and no longer young, and Daqing needs young and promising people to support it. The prince consort is highly skilled in martial arts. I gave him this opportunity to plan for your future and for the future of Daqing. As the princess of Daqing, you should understand this.
And think about it, your third sister-in-law is pregnant and about to give birth, and her husband will also go to the battlefield, right? But did you see her making a fuss? "
Xia Wanning was pregnant with twins and was about to give birth, but Helian Jing was still in command and was going to the battlefield. In this situation, she did not show any dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Anle felt a little ashamed. Yes, she was the princess of Daqing. How could she always talk about love when the country was in danger?
Even if she is reluctant, she has to let go.
Thinking about the Third Emperor's wife again, she is indeed more aggrieved than myself.
"Father, I'm sorry. I was unreasonable. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, you can go back. Take advantage of this moment to accompany your husband. I won't worry about you. This trip is not dangerous, and he will definitely return safely."
It was just a formality to lure the Luosha army into the territory of Daqing first. Only then would we have a chance to negotiate with them and throw out Fang Miao as our trump card.
He just didn't believe that the Queen of Rakshasa, who had no successor, would remain calm when she heard the news about her own daughter.
Of course, this time when going to the border waters, she also needs to bring Fang Miao’s pocket watch, which is the only proof of her identity.
Fang Miao is still in the dark. She has guessed that her true identity might not be simple, but she doesn't have the energy to think about those things. She just wants to live in the present peacefully. So, when Xiao Hechuan asked her for the pocket watch, she gave it to him generously without hesitation.
If you still have value that can be utilized, then just make use of it and treat it as doing something within your ability for them.
She didn't ask why, nor did she want to know why.
Jiang Sui felt sorry for them. One didn't know her own life experience and could only wait to be used and squeezed dry. One had just gotten married and her husband was sent to the border battlefield not long ago. One was pregnant and was about to give birth, but the father of the child couldn't be with her.
It is easy to imagine how far the border is from Kyoto. It would take more than half a month just to make such a long journey. It would probably take at least half a year to get there.
In the East Palace, Xia Wanning accepted the news calmly. Looking at her frighteningly large belly, she did not show any dissatisfaction or resentment.
Helian Jing looked at her, his eyes full of heartache and reluctance.
"Wan Ning, just this once. After this time, we can be together forever and never separate. Everything is for our future, so that our children can be born in a peaceful and prosperous era."
He thought that she wouldn't make a fuss, but at least she would cry, but she didn't.
She just smiled calmly, then looked at him with firm eyes:
"I understand. Just go and don't worry about me. I will guard the rear for you and be your strong support. I will be the mother of the country in the future. How can I not even have this kind of heart?
Just go ahead and complete your great work. I believe our children will understand their father."
She touched her belly, and the little guy inside seemed to sense something and responded to her by moving around inside.
Helian Jing was speechless, his eyes red with heartache. If there was no other way, wouldn't he want to stay by her side and witness the birth of their two children into this world?
"Wan Ning, you are so kind. I have already told Xiao Hechuan that his wife will stay with you during this period of time until you give birth. Don't be afraid!"
