After being reported, Emperor Yanzhen woke up from his sleep, and heard that Sima Hongyan had an urgent matter to see late at night, thinking that something had happened to the female army, so he hurriedly summoned Sima Hongyan to meet him.

Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying, Xiao Hongying and others were at the gate of the palace, and they were a little upset in their hearts, I don't know if they would anger the emperor if they came to wake up the emperor in the middle of the night just for Shi Jinyan's marriage!

Zhong Liying never said a word, and Xiao Hongying only smiled lightly when she joked with her, which made Xiao Hongying's boss bored, so she simply sat aside and hummed a little song by herself.

Ban Lingruo saw that Xiao Hongying was completely unworried, and couldn't help but ask her, "Hongying, you don't seem to be worried about your sister Hongyan?" I'm so anxious here, but you're humming a little song and being content, your heart is big enough! ”

Xiao Hongying stopped humming and laughed slyly. said to Ban Lingruo: "Sister Ban, don't you still know Sister Hongyan's temper? When did she do something she wasn't sure about? ”

Ban Lingruo said: "This time is different, our late-night visit is not for national affairs, but for the marriage of Jinyan, I can't guarantee that the emperor will not blame my sister for making a fuss!" ”

Xiao Hongying snorted lightly: "My class sister, you are really simple enough. How could Sister Hongyan directly mention Sister Shi's marriage to the emperor? She must have reported something else to the Emperor, and then she would be alarmist. As soon as the emperor attaches importance to it, he will definitely ask Sister Hongyan to do something, so Sister Shi's matter will be solved. ”

Ban Lingruo was confused and asked Zhong Liying, "Do you understand what she said?" ”

Zhong Liying smiled: "I don't understand, but I can probably guess it." It is estimated that the red shadow means that the eldest sister will use the method of pointing fingers and letting the emperor help us solve the problem unintentionally. ”

Several people waited while talking, and it took a long time to see Sima Hongyan come out of the inner palace. Ban Lingruo was about to ask what the result was, but Sima Hongyan stopped her with a slight wave of her hand. Ban Lingruo realized that this was not a place to speak, so the group got on their horses and returned to their residence in Dongcheng.

Back at Sima Mansion, several people changed their clothes and came to the bedroom, Xiao Hongying was the first to ask, "How is Sister Hongyan?" What did the emperor say when you entered the palace for so long? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "The emperor didn't say anything, but I talked a lot to him." I told me about the expansion of the women's army, and told the emperor that the person who had come to visit the women's army at night last night was judged to be a spy sent by one of the four countries. I also told the emperor that after the competition, there will be disputes between the five countries, and we must take precautions. Finally, I also reminded the emperor that there are probably some people in Yanling who have started to fight the idea of female soldiers, especially those of us, who are most likely to become the targets of others! ”

Ban Lingruo heard that these things had nothing to do with Shi Jinyan's affairs, and asked curiously, "Then what did the emperor say?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "The emperor didn't say anything, only gave me a holy decree. As he spoke, he took out a gold thread sewn bag from his sleeve and threw it on the side of the bed.

Xiao Hongying was the most curious, and immediately stepped forward to pick it up, opened it and took out a brocade silk from it. This brocade silk is also golden, and it looks like a royal thing, Xiao Hongying opened it carefully, and saw that there were many small characters densely written on it.

After reading it, Xiao Hongying couldn't understand this kind of court language, so she handed it to Ban Lingruo. Ban Lingruo took it and read it, her face changed slightly, but she was pleasantly surprised.

Without waiting for others to ask, Ban Lingruo explained to everyone: "This is a secret decree, the content is that the arrangement and scheduling of all the women in the army are all decided by the sister, if there is no approval from the sister, even, even the marriage is not allowed!" Also, the emperor has promoted all of us to official positions, and no one has the power to dispatch the female army except for the emperor and my sister. ”

When Xiao Hongying heard that even marrying someone had to be approved by Sima Hongyan, she was both happy and strange, and asked, "Sister Hongyan, what medicine did you give the emperor?" How could he give you such a secret decree? ”

Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying were also puzzled, and they also looked at Sima Hongyan.

Sima Hongyan smiled and said, "The reason is very simple. Although the women's army is all women, it is also a regular army. Since you are a soldier, you must put the country first, and you no longer belong to yourself, nor do you belong to a certain family, but to the country. The actions of each of the female soldiers are closely related to the country, so I ask the emperor to ensure that in order to ensure the regularization of the female army, all matters of the female army must be approved before they can be implemented. Once you join the army, your life is not your own, and it is not so easy for outsiders to intervene! ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Then why did the emperor still give us a promotion?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "From now on, the emperor will set up a separate establishment for the female army, and in the future, he will only accept direct orders from the emperor." We will no longer follow the existing military ranks of the DPRK and China, but will be organized separately. I am the president of the women's army, with the rank of third-rank officer, and I am responsible for all matters of the women's army. Jin Yan, Ling Ruo, and Zhong Liying are the deputy commanders, with the rank of four ranks, to assist me in managing the women's army. Red Shadow is the reserve deputy commander, the same rank as the Ten Red Sleeves, and they are all five-rank officials. With the expansion of the number of female soldiers in the future, I can redeploy the personnel below the rank of my officer. ”

Hearing that the female army has become the emperor's pro-army from today, Zhong Liying said: "Eldest sister, I didn't expect that you would be able to get such a big benefit from the emperor just for the second sister's business, did you plan to do this a long time ago?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Jin Yan's matter is just an introduction, I have considered the potential threat of our female army for a day or two, rather than being harassed by these troubles from time to time, it is better to eradicate it once and for the future." ”

Xiao Hongying giggled at this time, and said while laughing: "This time, Sister Shi and her father inadvertently helped us, I don't know what his expression will be when he hears this result?" ”

Sima Hongyan also smiled: "I didn't do this for him today, but I can't make up my mind without him crossing!" ”

When the goal was achieved, the Sima Hongyan sisters talked for a while, and then they all fell asleep in turn. Sima Hongyan asked Qinghan to prepare a few more beds in the bedroom before, which came in handy today. Although several people's homes are close to each other, they just like to sleep in the same room.

The next day, Zhong Liying returned to the camp to continue to arrange the expansion of the army and the construction of the camp, and the rest of the people went to the school martial arts field, today is the third day of the Five Nations Competition, and the competition of "calligraphy" and "painting" will be held.

Originally, it was Shi Jinyan who was going to participate in the "book" character competition, but Shi Jinyan may not be able to participate today due to yesterday, and Sima Hongyan originally planned to let Li Siyu come to replace the competition. But the word "painting" also needs Li Siyu to participate, let him compete for two consecutive games, and Sima Hongyan is afraid that his physical strength or energy will not be able to bear it.

You must know that after each competition, the participants will consume a lot of energy, and it is even more difficult to catch up with the competition every day. So Sima Hongyan temporarily changed his decision, and the word "book" was participated by Yanling other back-ups, and Li Siyu still participated in the "painting" character competition to preserve his strength.

This is also a way to do it, don't look at a competition event has a number of back-ups, but the difference between levels is not a star and a half. "Book" is more than imitation words, copying the font of all calligraphy masters, this competition in the Yanling martial arts conference when the poem Jinyan is the first, Li Siyu is the second. If neither of these two can compete, they will have to go to third place.

But compared with the first two, if the third place is put into the competition of the elite of the five countries, I am afraid it will be dwarfed. Fortunately, Yanling now has an advantage in the winning game, even if this game fails, there is still a chance in the future.

Before entering the school martial arts field, Sima Hongyan arranged for Ban Lingruo to go to Shangshu Mansion to see Shi Jinyan. If Shi Jinyan wakes up early, let Ban Lingruo comfort her and have a good rest, so she doesn't have to worry about today's game. Sima Hongyan understands Shi Jinyan's temper, and according to Shi Jinyan's character, as long as she wakes up in advance, she will definitely come to the competition.

Before the start of today's game, Sima Hongyan also discovered something unusual, that is, Emperor Yanzhen did not come to watch the game. Sima Hongyan estimated that it was because he went to see Emperor Yanzhen in the middle of the night last night, which caused Emperor Yanzhen to not sleep well, and he may still be in the palace to make up for sleep.

After a moment of commotion in the arena, the host came to the stadium to announce the start of the game, and the players of the Five Nations entered. The rules of the competition are very simple, the presiding officer reports the names of the copybooks in turn, but does not display the original copybooks, and the competitors write them all from memory. After the completion of a stick of incense, the original text of the original work is displayed and compared with the writing of the racers.
