The Minister of War was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be thinking and said, "Wouldn't this... be inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that?" The Vice Minister of Rites looked at him speechlessly. "You know the situation in the court. We just need to do what the Emperor says. As for whether it will succeed, that's not up to us!"
Upon hearing this, the Minister of War nodded, seemingly conflicted, "Alright then, I'll lead my men to continue our journey now. I urge Lord Huang to do his utmost as well!"
"Of course, after all, I don't really want a change of dynasty!" The Vice Minister of Rites waved his hand and said.
Whether he tried his best or not is another matter, but he really didn't want a change of dynasty.
Think about it, nowadays emperors rarely actually manage anything except for their incompetent rage. As long as they are clever, they can stay in the court until they die. Would anyone else have such a good life as emperor?
The Minister of War quickly left with his entourage. Once they were out of the small town where they had stopped to rest, he relaxed considerably and asked the person beside him, "Where are the Madam and the others?"

Emperor Jingqing was still dreaming that Lu Yanzheng would agree to peace talks and submit to him, but little did he know that the peace envoys he sent had split into two groups, and none of them were truly willing to negotiate peace.
After working tirelessly for more than half a month, Jiang Qinyu was finally able to take a couple of days off in Dingshui Village.
Yunzhu handed Jiang Qinyu a bowl of freshly cooked red date and white fungus soup, saying, "Your Highness, this was made by the old lady to help you replenish your qi and blood."
Jiang Qinyu took it, and while holding it to her mouth, she laughed and said, "Mother really can't sit still... Ugh!"
