On the sixth day of the third month, there were two days before Your Majesty's personal expedition. Because of the fight between the envoys of the Anxue Kingdom and the envoys of the Heiwu Kingdom, Wang Huaili, the Minister of Rites of the Daning Ministry, came forward in person to negotiate with the envoys of the two countries. In addition to reiterating that the members of the two countries' missions must abide by the laws of the Daning, they also had to temporarily confine the missions of the two countries due to the adverse effects caused by the fight. No one is allowed to leave Shangbin Pavilion until His Majesty Emperor Daning has the order.

This can also be regarded as giving Daning an excuse to put them under house arrest in Shangbin Pavilion and not to go out. In this way, if Daning sends troops, it is naturally impossible for these people to know.

Weiyang Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

The emperor stretched his arms and read the urgent report from the Northern Xinjiang that he had just sent him, and was feeling a little more refreshed. For the Northern Expedition, Meng Chang'an sent the emperor a good news.

In the twelfth lunar month, Meng Chang'an ordered his subordinate Yang Qibao to lead an army of 16,000 to intercept 45,000 elite cavalry in the North Court of Heiwu at the foot of Baishan. The two sides fought fiercely. Yang Qibao led his army to block the enemy for two days and two nights, killing more than 3,000 enemies. Meng Chang'an and the princess of the Heiwu Kingdom Kuo Ke's enemy, and used Yang Qibao to block the Black Martial Reinforcement Army for the past two days and two nights to regain control of Sula City.

Although Gedi City is still in the hands of the Black Martial Arts, because the guards of Gedi City are worried that Emperor Sanbulu would attack him, they closed the city gates and did not see Sambulu, and this was also good news for Daning.

With Sula City, Daning has a breakthrough to march north. After passing Sula City, Daning's northern expedition army can advance straight.

The emperor was naturally happy to receive such good news before going to war.

Lai Cheng glanced at the emperor's face and breathed a sigh of relief: "Meng Chang'an is indeed a brave general."

"Have you sent someone to the decree you sent before?"

After taking a sip of tea, the emperor said, "Meng Chang'an led his personal soldiers to Dongjiang. This news must be released to the black warriors."

Lai Cheng lowered his head: "I have sent someone. I guess I have arrived at the Xifengkou in the northern border at this time. If there is an inside line of the black warriors at the Xifengkou, the news will be sent to the black warriors soon, and Samburu should have known it soon."

The emperor nodded: "Meng Chang'an left Xifengkou, and I can also help Kuoke. I know that Meng Chang'an is not at Xifengkou, and I know that the war rebellion in the eastern border, and that the army of the northern expedition of Daning gathered in Hanhai City. Sangbulu couldn't sit still at Xifengkou. He would immediately rush back to the South Courtyard to personally deploy defense matters. As long as he leaves Xifengkou, Qinse's control over Sula City and Gedi City will be stronger."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Fangzhou came in from outside: "The cabinet helped Xu Jushan deliver an urgent report, and the northern Xinjiang has just delivered it."

The emperor and Lai Cheng looked at each other. Lai Cheng had just handed over the good news sent by Meng Chang'an to His Majesty, and Xu Jushan sent another good news from the northern border. What's going on?

Xu Jushan entered the cabinet because it was recommended by Shen Leng. Lai Cheng particularly admired this young man. Two years ago, Xu Jushan was the top scorer in the imperial examination. Lai Cheng ran to ask His Majesty for someone. Xu Jushan, who should have been sent to the local area to practice, was directly taken to the cabinet to do things. Although he was only a seventh-rank assistant, his experience in the power center like the cabinet is naturally different from training in the local area.

Xu Jushan is less than 20 years old. As long as he does not make mistakes in the future, he can imagine how bright his future will be.

With some tension, Xu Jushan entered the East Warehouse and leaned over and bowed: "My memory, Xu Jushan, pay homage to Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand: "Get up, why are you so anxious?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Ye Yunsanye sent someone to report urgently, but I have not opened it yet."

Xu Jushan handed the urgent report to the emperor with both hands. After the emperor took it, he picked up the fire and took out the letter and looked at it. Then his eyebrows stretched out: "Another good news... Ye Yunsan arranged for his people to do something big on the Heiwu side. The people he placed in the northern border encouraged the disciples of the Jianmen to fight with the people of the royal family, and killed several members of the Heiwu royal family in the chaos. Many disciples of the Jianmen were also killed and injured. The national teacher of the Heiwu Kingdom, Xin Fengyue, angrily drove all the people of the Heiwu capital out of the capital. These people met bandits halfway and were all killed."

Lai Cheng certainly knew who this so-called bandit was. Ye Yunsan would naturally not give up such an opportunity. Even if Ye Yunsan didn't touch his hands, Feng Yue would do it... However, Ye Yunsan's trick was that he did not let his people kill the Black Martial Royal Family directly, but provoked conflicts between the Jianmen and the royal family. This was really done beautifully.

Lai Cheng lowered his head: "In this way, Qinse also knows his own weight."

After hearing this, Xu Jushan's eyes lit up: "Does Your Majesty want Qinse to replace Samburu?"

The emperor looked at the young man: "Tell me what you think."

"Qinse uses the power of Daning to inherit the power of the royal family, and then Daning supports Qinse against the Black Martial National Master Xin Fengyue, and does its best to promote the Black Martial Civil War. Its effectiveness is not inferior to the army's northern expedition. If the Black Martial Civil War lasts for a long time, the Black Martial National Power will retreat more than fifty years, or even one hundred years. After the civil war, even if Qinse firmly sits as the Black Martial Queen, he will no longer be able to compete with Daning."

The emperor looked at Xu Jushan with appreciation: "Go back and pack up your things, you can follow me to the north."

Xu Jushan was stunned, and then quickly fell to the ground: "Thank you Your Majesty!"

Lai Cheng smiled and said, "Go back and prepare well, don't let down Your Majesty's trust in you."

Xu Jushan certainly knew what it meant to be allowed to be with him by His Majesty. For him, this was His Majesty who personally paved a road for his career. He was less than 20 years old and had a bright future.

Xu Jushan withdrew from the East Nuan Pavilion. The emperor glanced at Lai Cheng and said, "Is this Xu Jushan the talent discovered by Shen Leng?"

"yes."

Lai Cheng lowered his head and said, "It was the talent that Shen Leng accidentally discovered among the academy students when he was having dinner with the old dean. After personally testing it, I felt that young people with such a good overall view should stay and train them."

The emperor nodded, feeling really happy.

Lai Cheng is in his forties, and he can still be in charge of the cabinet for fifteen to twenty years. After Lai Cheng, if Dou Huainan is the chief minister of the cabinet, he can also be in charge of the cabinet for more than ten years. By the time Dou Huainan retreated, Xu Jushan could already take on the great responsibility. Daning has a lot of talents, so how could the emperor be unhappy?

The emergence of civil officials and military generals and talents even made the emperor feel embarrassed that it was difficult to choose people. Those with many talents could not choose, which was also a trouble.

"I have been on diet since the Chinese New Year and started exercising. During the Chinese New Year, I took out the golden scale armor and tried it, but I couldn't wear it anymore... I thought my figure had not changed for so many years, and I realized how self-deception was. In two months, I can wear it again. It's been thirty years, and the golden scale armor hasn't been on the battlefield for thirty years."

The emperor let out a long sigh: "I think I will look forward to it."

Chang'an City, pier.

The last pre-war maintenance and replenishment of the Navy's warships had been completed. Ten days ago, Chen Leng ordered everyone in the Navy's army to not go out without permission and wait for the order to go out at any time.

Sitting on the Shenwei warship, Chen Leng looked at the water in the distance and was a little dazed. Chen Ran walked to Chen Leng and sat down, handed him a pot of water: "What are you thinking?"

"I discussed with Mr. Cha a while ago that I wanted to resign after this northern expedition."

Chen Leng glanced at Chen Ran: "What do you think?"

Chen Ran shrugged: "I don't care. If you resign, I will resign. If you go to open a restaurant, I will do you a chore and do a chore. If you go to farm, I will be a long-term worker. Anyway, you can't get rid of me. I will support you in any decision."

Chen sneered and said, "This matter is not urgent. The battle against Heiwu will not be completed in three years or two years."

Chen Ran said nodded: "But I think Your Majesty will not agree."

Of course, Chen Leng knew that he could even imagine what his Majesty would react when he told His Majesty the Emperor that he was going to resign. His Majesty treated him like this, but he wanted to resign. His Majesty might kick him out of the East Warehouse in anger.

"You know."

Chen Leng looked at the distance and said to herself, "From the beginning, I didn't know why Mr. asked me to join the army. I just did it according to Mr.'s arrangement. If Mr. asked me to join the navy, I would join the navy. Since I entered the army, I must do it well. I can't be sorry to anyone. So many people treat me well and cannot live up to it... But I don't have great ambitions in my heart."

Chen Leng let out a long sigh: "Sometimes I am helpless with myself. I force myself to set goals more than once, such as becoming a general, but I thought about what it would be like to be a general, and I didn't seem to be excited at all."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "If you don't know you, you will think your words are false."

Chen Leng said: "I never tried to fight for anything except Cha Ye."

Chen Ran said: "Stop talking, one of you is not married to her, the other is not married to you, don't say you are fighting, who can fight with you? This cannot be counted... Lengzi, there is something I want to talk to you, I don't know if what I said is right, I have no ambitions than you. Anyway, even if I am where you are, I am also thinking about it myself, just listen."

Chen Ran was so solemn, and Chen Leng sat up straight: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"His Majesty."

Chen Ran looked at Chen Leng's eyes: "You must have thought about the relationship between the prince and His Majesty."

Chen Leng nodded: "I thought about it."

Chen Ran said seriously: "You just said that you don't want to let down those who are good to you. There is no doubt that there must be His Majesty among the best people to treat you. Yesterday, when we had dinner, I heard that Mr. chatted with you. The sir probably meant that His Majesty wanted the prince to stay in Chang'an, and the cabinet has the right to reject the prince's wrong decision. This is not right."

He looked at Chen Leng and asked, "I don't believe you haven't thought about it."

"Thinking..."

Chen Leng whispered: "But that's father and son."

Chen Ran said huh: "Yes, that's the father and son, that's the family affairs of Your Majesty, but what Your Majesty is worried about is not just the family affairs, but the issue involving the foundation of Daning. You have more than I thought. You just think that you are not suitable to participate in this matter, right? Lengzi, listen to my advice, don't think about resigning. You have to think about it. It takes at least three or two years of northern expedition. Once the prince does something in Chang'an, it will endanger Your Majesty..."

Chen Leng lowered his head. Of course he thought about it. Mr. Chen refused to tell him anything, and Mr. Cha refused to tell him anything, but he was not stupid. Why did the queen target him, why the prince target him, and why Mu Zhaotong targeted him? How could he never think about it once? If he hadn't thought about these things, why did he want to resign?

He just thought that if he left Chang'an, the conflict between His Majesty and the prince would be less.

"I see."

Chen Leng raised his head: "Actually, I know in my heart that no matter whoever wants to touch His Majesty, I will not agree."
