In the capital, the grand expedition ceremony has ended, the hundred officials knelt on the ground respectfully, Tang Ning sat on a war horse wearing light armor, his eyes slowly glanced at the civil and military officials, and finally his eyes stopped on the phoenix in the palace.

Rong Xuan and the others all had reluctant looks, Tang Ning smiled slightly, then turned his head and looked into the distance resolutely, and raised his voice: "Go on the expedition!" ”

"The emperor has an order, the army is marching!" The herald waved his whip to give the order, and the army, which stretched for several miles, slowly marched up the official road in turn.

Tang Ning also drove his horse to follow the army, Mingyue also followed him closely in light armor, and Wei Qiu surrounded him with dozens of Sword Pavilion masters and secret guards.

After the New Year, Wei Qiu was ordered to come with dozens of Sword Pavilion masters, although the Sword Pavilion did not have a large army, but it also dispatched elite disciples to follow Tang Ning to do their best.

Tang Ning's figure gradually disappeared into the army surrounded by a group of guards, and Rong Xuan and the others couldn't help but feel a little stunned when they saw this.

Only Lin Lan's small mouth was a little dissatisfied, she thought to herself that she was an eight-rank master, so she also planned to go out with the car, and even a light armor was ready.

turned out to be stopped by the emperor, how could she be willing? It's not that she doesn't have the power to protect herself, and she is a master wherever she puts Bapin.

If it is said that a woman can't go with the car, then isn't Sister Mingyue going with the car? Is it because she is not Jiupin? Hmph, how can you not be a master with eight grades?

However, in the end, she did not go with her, because she was pregnant, and although she did not feel any discomfort, the emperor resolutely refused to allow it.

Not only the emperor did not allow it, but her mother and her father did not allow it, there was no room for turn, she could only helplessly watch the army gradually move away.

Rong Xuan turned her head to look at Lin Lan's rising little mouth, glanced at her waist that couldn't be hidden, and said helplessly: "Lan'er, you can stay in the palace in peace, you are pregnant and want to go out with the car, I really don't know what your little head thinks!" ”

Lin Lan pouted: "Sister Xuan, it's not that you don't know, I dreamed of one day being able to gallop on the battlefield when I was a child, and this time is probably the only chance." ”

Rong Xuan glanced at her and said: "You are still galloping on the battlefield, even if you are not pregnant and go out with the car, it is impossible for you to go to the battlefield!" ”

That being said, it would be nice to be able to see the war with your own eyes.

The eldest princess smiled slightly: "Let's stay in the capital, the most important thing is to stabilize the rear, ensure that the emperor has enough food and grass to go out, and not let the emperor have any worries, this is the most important thing for us to do in the future, but we can't make a small temperament!" ”

She was really afraid that Lin Lan would sneak out of the palace and go to the south because of her petty temperament, after all, Lin Lan was an eight-rank master, and her status was noble, so it was really difficult to take the opportunity to sneak away.

Rong Xuan said with a smile: "What my aunt said is that we must not let the emperor be distracted, and we must not let the emperor have worries." ”

The eldest princess and Rong Xuan were talking, their eyes glanced at Lin Lan, Lin Lan was stunned and said, "Look, what are you doing with me?" ”

Xiaoxiao sneered and laughed: "Of course, I'm afraid that our concubine will sneak away!" ”

Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh and said, "How could I? ”

Rong Xuan smiled and walked towards the ministers, and raised his voice: "The emperor's royal car has gone away, please get up!" All the big and small affairs are sent to the Qianqing Palace after the cabinet is to be approved, and the palace and the eldest princess review on behalf of the emperor, if there is any doubt, the minister will be summoned to inquire about it, and if there is still a problem, it will be sent to the camp. ”

"This time the emperor drove the southern expedition, not only to avenge the emperor's revenge, but also to expand the territory, for the hundreds of millions of people in the world to open peace for all generations, can be described as a great contribution, I hope that all the adults will unite as one, work together to ensure the stability of the imperial court, the rear is peaceful, help the army calm down as soon as possible, and create a great cause!"

All the ministers fell to the ground and shouted: "The ministers will work together to help the emperor create a great cause!" ”

Wang Ge said respectfully: "Please ask the queen mother and the eldest princess to move to the Qianqing Palace to listen to the government!" ”

Rong Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, the affairs of the court and the central government will be up to you!" ”

Rong Xuan, the eldest princess and others boarded the honor car and drove back to the palace under the escort of the palace guards, and a group of civil and military officials got up.

At this time, the civil and military officials had long since lost the scale of the early dynasties, and one-third of the civil officials went out with the car, and even more military attachés, and more than half of them went out with the car.

Wang Ge Lao said in a loud voice: "All the lords should go back to the yamen, there are fewer officials in each yamen, but the political affairs cannot be delayed, and you will work harder!" ”

With the return of the ladies in the palace to Beijing, the people in Beijing suddenly understood that the emperor had led the Beijing army to the battle, and they had no worries in their hearts, only excitement and anticipation.

After returning to the Yamen, the civil and military officials of the court immediately buried their heads in the case, but did not talk about anything.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about, because the expedition has been prepared for more than half a year. Not only them, but also the people in the capital did not discuss anything, because what should have been discussed has already passed.

Although the emperor went on an expedition, there were still cabinet scholars in the court, and there were queen mothers and eldest princesses in the palace to handle political affairs, which was no different for them.

In fact, there are still differences, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has patrolled more frequently and meticulously, the fast arresting officials of Jingzhao Mansion are also more diligent than before, and the scoundrels on the street are also honest, and even the gambling house is a little deserted.

This is still on the surface, and secretly the Jinyi Guard and the Internal Guard Division are also busier. The feeling is that the capital has suddenly become more peaceful.

In the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Rong Xuan and the eldest princess sat opposite each other, and there were stacks of endless reviews on the desk.

The eldest princess and Rong Xuan were quietly reviewing the recital, sometimes frowning and pondering, sometimes whispering a few words, and the speed of reviewing the recital was not fast.

After a long time, Rong Xuan rubbed her brows a little tiredly, and sighed: "I often hear the emperor complain that he is tired and tired of reviewing the chapters, but now I have a real experience." ”

The eldest princess smiled: "Of course it is not easy to deal with political affairs, for you and me without experience, it is even more difficult, and you are more likely to get tired when you are pregnant." ”

After that, the eldest princess muttered: "If you are tired, you can rest, the child in the belly is the most important." As for the recital, it's better to do this, I'll let Ying'er and Chuncao read it after reading it, and then I'll briefly explain the recital to you, so that you can also think less. ”

This is a solution, Rong Xuan muttered: "The burden and fatigue are all on my aunt......"

The eldest princess smiled: "I have always been raised, but I can handle it, besides, it won't be long before the emperor will return triumphantly." ”
