After solving the trivial matters, Xiao Li secretly went to Longxi Valley overnight.
She didn't care about anything else, but the most important thing was to have the hot weapons in her hands.
She was the one who arranged the establishment of Longxigou, but she never showed up from beginning to end. She had to meet them and let these people know who they were loyal to.
Song Junzhan, who couldn't find the empress with the memorial: ...
The emperor's confidence made him uneasy.
He was a good emperor and didn't care about the affairs of the court at all.
But no one dared to fool her. After all, the empress didn't care about things, but she was not stupid. If she couldn't do it well, there were plenty of people who could do it well to take over.
Not to mention that other people are under a lot of pressure, he, as the prime minister, is under a lot of pressure too.
Xiao Li issued an imperial decree, appointing Duan Ji as the General of the Northern Expedition, in charge of all matters related to the campaign against the Kingdom of Yue.
The silver-armored guards and firearms all obeyed his orders, and then he sent some silver armor, food, and wages.
They have provided people, money, food and power. It is definitely the richest preparation ever made. If it still can't take off, then Duan Ji will be a waste.
Obviously, Duan Ji deserves Xiao Li's appreciation of him.
After retaking Yanping Prefecture, Duan Ji led his troops to counterattack the State of Yue, advancing rapidly all the way. He captured the Liaocheng City of Yue in half a month, the second Kang'an City in a month, and five cities directly after two months.
The State of Yue was defeated and shrouded in fear of being dominated by artillery.
Finally, he could no longer bear it and submitted a letter of peace to the empress.
At the same time, Duan Ji also wrote a letter, saying that if he was given another three months, he could conquer the Kingdom of Yue.
Xiao Li: “…”
I couldn't help but think back to my original intention again. What was her purpose?
Oh, seize the throne of the male protagonist, stand at the highest point to guard the tower, and kill every male protagonist who comes.
However, now that she has become an empress, she not only has to govern the world, but also select talented people, create the imperial examination system, and support women in serving as officials.
Do we need to add the goal of expanding territory and unifying the world?
The purpose of playing games is to win the championship, and to be an emperor is naturally to unify the world.
Eh~~~~ It’s crooked again.
Xiao Li asked Song Junzhan, "Can we manage it if we add another Yue Kingdom?"
Song Junzhan couldn't help laughing and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you are the master of this country."
Why does it feel like this country was fought for him?
Xiao Li sighed: "Isn't this because I'm worried that you'll be too busy to handle it?"
Song Junzhan couldn't help laughing. Should he thank the empress for understanding him?
"I never have a small workload. Your Majesty need not worry about it."
It was as if his workload was too heavy and the empress would come back to work on her own initiative.
"As for the Kingdom of Yue, if Your Majesty does not wish to govern it, then make it a vassal state and make them pay tribute every year."
Xiao Li agreed: "Let's do it."
The head office has been established, it's time to open a branch office.
Send someone to manage it, and then reap the profits.
However, at this time, the State of Yue was still tough and only asked for peace, and it was impossible for it to agree to surrender.
So Xiao Li asked Duan Ji to fight again. Duan Ji received the order and marched towards Yue State again.
The Kingdom of Yue itself was not big, with a total of fourteen cities. Duan Ji captured five cities, and now there are nine left.
Xiao Li asked him to fight mainly to defeat the Kingdom of Yue.
As a result, a month later, he destroyed the Kingdom of Yue.
Xiao Li: “…”
This is embarrassing.
It was agreed to be three months, but it ended up being only one month?
That is a country that was once so powerful and arrogant, why is it so fragile?
In fact, it was the Yue people who were afraid. The heavy firepower killed many of Yue's elite troops at the beginning. Later, Duan Ji's rapid progress caused a psychological shadow on Yue. Facing a powerful enemy, they began to fear fighting.
After most of the Yue Kingdom was taken, the rest of the people either fled or surrendered.
The Yue royal family wanted to resist, but Duan Ji advocated equality for all and killed those members of the Yue royal family who resisted fiercely. The remaining old, weak and sick people were unable to resist at all.
In December, it snowed heavily.
Duan Ji returned victorious with his troops, and the spoils included countless treasures of Yue State, the Emperor of Yue State, and a handsome prince.
Xiao Li: Hmm?
Is there something strange mixed in?
Duan Ji is now a great contributor, so Xiao Li naturally has to hold a banquet to celebrate for him.
While we were busy here, Chirong handed over a letter from their credential, and their prince came to congratulate the empress.
Then, as if a switch was turned on, there were a total of six countries around Longsheng.
The Kingdom of Yue was destroyed, the Chirong came again, and the four small countries of Yundan, Beicang, Xiqi and Baidi also sent letters and envoys.
Song Junzhan was very satisfied with this: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the civil and military officials are loyal to him. The country is strong and prosperous, and naturally people from all directions come to pay tribute. This further proves that Your Majesty is the one who inherits the will of heaven and promotes the prosperity of the dragon. You are the true dragon emperor!"
Song Junzhan was destined to be a subject, and he needed a wise leader to bring his talents into play.
He met the empress, the only mentor in his life.
Although he handled all the political affairs and was busy like a top all day long, in his heart, the empress was still the most wise and powerful.
All the credit goes to the empress, and the praise is sincere, and she feels honored.
Xiao Li glanced at him and sneered, "Flatterer!"
"Who is the Minister of Rites?"
He was the only emperor who couldn't even remember the names of his few high-ranking ministers.
Song Junzhan: "Your Majesty, the Right Vice Minister Su Ziqi and the Left Vice Minister Fang Wenfu."
Xiao Li: "Let each of them come up with a plan. If the plan is good and it is well implemented, they will be promoted to Shangshu."
The positions of the six ministers cannot remain vacant for too long, so start from the weakest Ministry of Rites and move up to the top, which will also send a signal to people in other departments.
Work hard and you will have a chance of promotion.
A group of cattle and horses: What a big cake, round and big, very solid, but more or less a little hard, the kind that you can’t chew without strength.
The noble families experienced ups and downs, with their property confiscated, their clans exterminated, and even exiled, but the Fang family alone endured.
The Fang family is a small family. The family members are mediocre and have low official positions. They have not committed any major crimes and have not done anything harmful to the world.
After review, Fang Wenfu was finally retained to continue serving as the Minister of Rites.
All the senior officials were killed, and the only prime minister was Song Junzhan. There was no Shangshu in the six ministries, and the Vice Minister of Rites became a high-ranking official.
Upon learning that the person who had written to him was Princess Xuanyang, now the Empress, the old man of the Fang family said: ...
Who could have thought of this?
Some time ago, he was still worried about the future of the Fang family, but when he turned around, he found that he had boarded the stern of the Empress without realizing it.
The Fang family cannot compare with other aristocratic families, but those big aristocratic families are all gone now. The Fang family, which is at the bottom of the list, looks back and realizes that they are now the better ones.
What good luck! God has mercy on us.
Suddenly my anxiety disappeared, I felt calm, and I even started to like the mice crawling through my house.
As expected, whether a person lives a good life has nothing to do with wealth, it depends on who he is compared with.
Of course, the most important thing is not to do anything that is harmful to others. God is watching what you do, and there will be retribution only when the time comes.
And there is the empress, a good person.
