"Canglan Country has been holding back for so long, and it is estimated that there will be major actions in the early spring of next year, so it is time for you two to come to the court to worry about me, recruit more soldiers, train them, and prepare for war."
The emperor knew clearly that he could not put all his hopes on opening the iron box, and he had to be prepared for the army to approach.
The two of them understood immediately after hearing it.
"I obey your command." The two responded in unison.
When other clan members heard this, they also had their own ideas in mind, wondering whether they should send their sons to the military camp to gain some experience. With military merits, their future would be easier.
But I'm also worried about what to do if I really end up on the battlefield and something goes wrong.
After the palace banquet, each family discussed this decision for a long time.
Some families, thinking about their future prospects, let their sons or grandsons try their luck.
If the royal family members want to have a better future, they must also work hard on their own.
Just by keeping the status, one can only receive some benefits. If one does not fight for himself, the next generation will be further away from the royal lineage.
Starting from the eighth day of the first lunar month, Shangguan Ziqi attended the morning court every day, and then went to the military camp outside the capital to start increasing troops.
First, they will be drawn from the garrisons in various places, and then the local areas will recruit from local people.
If they are concentrated in the suburbs of Beijing like this, they are no longer new soldiers.
With just a little training, they can become an army with strong combat effectiveness.
By February, Canglan Kingdom had been watching for so long, but still hadn't received any news that Wei had opened the iron box.
Later, he gathered another 100,000 soldiers and marched to the border between the two countries.
Yu Zheng was powerless to do anything when she heard the news.
She tried too many times to open the iron box, but she just couldn't open it.
Until March, when news came that war had broken out again on the front, she still did not open the letter.
Sometimes she really wanted to just smash it open with a hammer.
But it is not possible, because there must be a mechanism inside.
This ancestor left this thing behind purely to harm the future generations.
No, she couldn't just pull it out blindly without any clue.
She needed to relax.
Maybe you've found some inspiration.
At night, Shangguan Ziqi went home and saw his wife staring at the iron box thoughtfully, and he felt extremely distressed.
He took it and randomly dialed a few numbers, but there was no response.
"Okay, take a break. We have trained 100,000 soldiers and are ready to send them to Lin'an City." Shangguan Ziqi was afraid that his wife would be under too much pressure and become anxious.
Every day he came to see his wife fiddling with the iron box. Over the past few months, she had become quite haggard.
She saw holes in the portrait and couldn't find any clues.
"Husband, I want to go out and relax. I've been feeling more and more depressed lately," Yu Yuzheng looked at Shangguan Ziqi pitifully.
The prince asked her to go out less often, but since she was locked up in the mansion like this, there was no movement at all.
"Okay, I'll accompany you. Where do you want to go?" Shangguan Ziqi said in a gentle voice.
Yu Zheng just wanted to go out and relax, and hadn't decided where to go.
"How about we go and see Sister Ru? She has been gone for several months, and we don't know how she is doing now." Yu Yuzheng suddenly thought of an idea.
Mingyang County is a hundred miles from Beijing, and a fast horse can reach it in one morning. If you stay overnight, you can arrive the next day.
She hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and she felt a little itchy.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
"Bring the children along, too? Xiao Yue'er would probably like to play with Dabao and the others."
When Yu Zheng thought of her lovely little niece, she felt a little sympathetic towards her. She had suffered so much at such a young age.
"Okay, let me arrange things in the camp, and we'll go the day after tomorrow." Shangguan Ziqi touched his wife's head lovingly.
Yu Zheng raised her head and looked at him with a smile.
Their eyes met, and a feeling of tenderness passed between them.
Yu Yuzheng felt emotional. This was her husband, the father of her child who would accompany her through the long journey of life.
But they would be on the battlefield soon, and if anything happened, she would lose him.
Thinking of this possibility, her heart suddenly tightened and her face turned grim.
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Ziqi asked gently when he saw that her face looked strange.
"nothing."
She must open the iron box, drive Canglan out of Wei, and beat them until they kneel down and beg for mercy, cede land and pay compensation.
Having made up his mind, Yu Yuzheng pestered Shangguan Ziqi all night.
This night was the most enjoyable night for the two of them after the birth of the child.
Shangguan Ziqi was almost late for the morning court session.
I went to bed late and my eyes are a little dark.
Prince Jing saw him and came over and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Are you worried about Zhan Xian so much that you can't sleep at night?"
"Aren't you worried?" Shangguan Ziqi asked back with a guilty conscience.
"I am worried too, but don't I have you? I am just your assistant, and my responsibilities are smaller than yours."
"I have something to tell you. My wife wants to go out and relax. Please bear with me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will accompany my wife out for a walk." Shangguan Ziqi patted Cao Jinyu's shoulder.
"Hey, it's already this late, and you still want to spend some time with your wife to relax?" Cao Jinyu was incredulous.
"I asked you to get married earlier, but you didn't. So you don't understand, life is interesting only when you have a wife." Shangguan Ziqi raised his eyebrows, that smile really asked for a beating.
"You are such a good Shangguanziqi. I was wondering why you have dark circles under your eyes. It turns out that you are still doing this when the country is in crisis..."
Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Ziqi covered his mouth.
"Stop talking nonsense. This is in the palace. I dialed the code to midnight last night. Do you understand?"
The two of them were arm in arm, which attracted the attention of their colleagues.
After the court was dismissed, Zheng Yu and Cao Jinyu were given instructions, and Shangguan Ziqi took over the government.
It's no small matter for Madam to leave the house.
Safety is the most important thing.
He now has thirty secret guards.
Arrange ten to stay at home to guard the Qiyayuan, and take the twenty with you when you go out.
When the children heard that they could go out and play, they were all very excited.
Now the three children are only two years old. They can speak clearly and express what they want to say.
"Dad, I want to ride a horse." Dabao was the first to express his request.
"Okay, Dad will take you to ride a big horse."
"Dad, I want to fly." Erbao was more interested in his dad taking him to practice Qinggong.
"It's boring." Sanbao felt that his two brothers only knew how to play exciting games, which was not fun. "Mom, catch butterflies."
"Well, our Sanbao is still the most elegant." Yu Yuzheng appreciates Sanbao's hobby even more.
Because they are both girls, mother and daughter, they have the same hobbies.
The next morning, Yu Zheng asked the maids to pack up the three children and get ready to leave.
The three little ones all knew that it was time to go out and play. When called, they actively got up from their beds and cooperated with the maid to dress them.
Princess Qi said goodbye and left the palace.
Before leaving, the prince specifically instructed his son-in-law to take good care of her and not to make any mistakes.
Now Yu Yuzheng is the only hope to open the iron box. If she hadn't said that relaxing might be more conducive to inspiration, he would never agree to let his daughter-in-law leave the palace.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely protect the lady." Shangguan Ziqi promised.
His martial arts skills have now surpassed the prince's.
The disciple surpasses the master.
As a result, when they went out, Yu Yuwen didn't encounter it, but it happened in the mansion.
