Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Three years later.

The world is at peace, the seas are clear and the rivers are calm.

Compared with the foolish behavior of the retired emperor who died two years ago, Yuan Jing is simply a replica of the founding emperor.

He was not greedy for enjoyment, nor was he fond of wine and women. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to government affairs.

In the past few years, with the assistance of Liu Yao, internal affairs have been rectified and cleared up at an extremely fast speed, and all the problems that have been left over have been solved.

In the past, officials who relied on flattery or currying favor with their superiors were either dismissed from their posts or demoted to remote places, and were not allowed to return to Beijing unless they achieved results.

Those who were demoted were not good people, but they had not done anything harmful to others.

They were able to survive well in the environment they had before, which shows that they were quite tactful and smart.

Sending it to a remote and difficult-to-manage small place might have unexpected effects. For Yuan Jing and others, it can be regarded as making the best use of resources.

With the internal troubles resolved, Yuan Jing also had time to deal with the foreign enemies who had been eyeing him covetously during the reign of the retired emperor.

Under his command, he had the troops he had trained before, as well as the loyal and patriotic troops trained by the Duke of Song, so his military force was not weak.

However, the previous emperor was strong at home and weak abroad, and he always used the means of seeking peace to avoid war.

Even if the Duke of Song won a battle, he would be forced to make peace with the enemy. Over time, the morale of the army would inevitably decline.

In order to shock the military, Yuan Jing personally led his troops to fight, which took him nearly half a year, and he finally returned with a great victory.

That night, in order to reward the meritorious officials, Ziguang Pavilion held a grand celebration banquet.

Those who came to the banquet included military generals who had made great contributions on the battlefield and civil officials who had been stabilizing the rear area for the past six months.

Yuan Jing still sat in the high seat, while Liu Hao sat one or two people below him.

In the past three years, in order to increase her strength as quickly as possible, she rushed to do all the heavy and tiring tasks, and the effort she made was unimaginable to others.

Yuan Jing would not show favoritism for her, and even if he wanted to, Liu Yao would not agree.

Of course, it is even more impossible for him to erase her contributions to Dajin. No one can cover up what she has done.

With merit, his position became higher and higher, and the distance between them became closer and closer.

The closer the distance, the clearer the person in front of you becomes.

Yuan Jing's eyes swept over Liu Yao several times when no one else noticed, and only left as if escaping when the banquet officially began.

The main theme of today's celebration banquet is to reward meritorious officials, those who have made contributions on the battlefield and those who have contributed to the stability of the capital, Yuan Jing did not miss any of them.

The atmosphere in the palace was joyous and harmonious, with voices of congratulations rising louder and louder.

Until Yuan Jing raised the full wine glass with a casual smile on his face.

"After returning from this great victory, there is still one hero who has not been rewarded. Her status is quite special, but she also made great contributions in the last battle. I don't know how to reward her."

Your Highness, everyone looked at each other, wondering who the person Your Majesty was describing in such a strange way could be.

A little later, some military attachés seemed to have thought of something.

Their eyes widened, some of them couldn't believe it. They wanted to say something, but covered their mouths tightly for fear of saying something wrong in front of the emperor.

It was Yuan Jing who solved the mystery.

"Is Princess Luo Ning here?"

A woman walked out from the crowd.

She was wearing a long gown with narrow sleeves, and her long hair was tied up high behind her. Her face was not as soft and pretty as the girls in the capital, but she had a different kind of heroic feeling.

"My daughter is here."

After the woman walked out, she knelt on one knee, clasped her fists and saluted Yuan Jing.

This was the way military officers saluted, and Anya Song did it without any awkwardness.

Everyone else in the hall had a bad feeling.

The next moment, the premonition came true.

"You have made great contributions in capturing Harchi and have been brave and fearless on the battlefield. I have decided to confer upon you the title of General Zhaoyi, a fourth-rank official."

Anya Song took the order and thanked him neatly: “Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.”

"No, Your Majesty, how can a woman be a general?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out to object.

Yuan Jing picked up the wine glass and threw it directly at the official kneeling on the ground.

"If she can't, then who can? You?"

Yuan Jing had been training on the battlefield for half a year, and his eyesight and strength were no longer what they used to be. With a casual throw, he caused the official's forehead to bleed.

The way he looked at people was bloodthirsty and extremely scary, and one could imagine his violent nature just by looking at him.

The first meeting after half a year made most of the court officials feel fear.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Liu Yao saw the frightened expressions of the ministers and stood up.

An emperor must be dignified, but he cannot always be feared by his subjects.

At this time, someone is needed to take charge.

In this regard, Liu Yao and he cooperated very well, and it was still the same after half a year.

"explain."

Hearing her voice, Yuan Jing involuntarily turned his gaze away, his eyes lingering for a long time. When he heard the prompt cough, he moved his gaze away from her face with difficulty.

Liu Hao turned and looked at the kneeling person with a cold gaze, and his unhurried tone was full of sarcasm.

"General Song was able to single-handedly break into the enemy's camp and capture the most important deputy general under the enemy leader. If she can't be a general, then who can?"

"On the battlefield, ability is the only thing that matters. This person is so dissatisfied, I think his ability is far better than General Zhaoyi."

"In this case, Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for a chance on this person's behalf."

"Tomorrow we will send someone to send him to the border at full speed. When he has made contributions similar to those of General Zhaoyi, he can return to the capital to be promoted and given a higher rank. Wouldn't that be great?"

After years of experience in officialdom, Liu Yao is no longer the warm and easy-going top scholar.

Even if you don't say anything sarcastic, you can still touch other people's hearts.

But Your Majesty is most willing to listen to her opinion.

"good idea."

Those who wanted to offer opinions were silenced.

They knew the emperor's stubborn character. If they made him unhappy, they would be sent to the border, and their lives would be dark.

Originally they were hoping that the most senior minister would say a few words, but he just sat there calmly.

His eyes seemed a little hazy, as if he was sleepy and heard nothing.

I'm at the age of retirement now, so I won't get involved in these things.

He is open-minded.

Besides, it is true that a man who speaks well cannot compare to a capable woman.

With the precedent, Liu Yao took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, and also asked for permission for his cousin Meng Huaisang.

She offered suggestions on agriculture and sericulture, and was recruited as a female official as an exception.

There were people who wanted to stop the refusal, but Liu Yao fought against the crowd alone and pushed them all back with reason and evidence.

In the court which was filled with men, two more women appeared overnight.

One is civil and the other is military, breaking the precedent and, it seems, also breaking some inherent barriers.

Liu Yao raised his glass and toasted the person sitting on the platform from afar.

She was very happy.

After the first change, there will be more and more changes in the future.

She is still preparing and will push Fang Linhan up soon as she has outstanding talent in economics.

The important matter in my heart was quietly settled.

Liu Yao was happy today and drank a lot of wine. He still had some consciousness, but not too sober.

After the banquet, she planned to return home but was stopped.

"Lord Liu, please stay."

The man who came had a shrill voice. He was the eunuch who had been following Yuan Jing for several years.

He bowed and smiled, "Lord Liu, please don't leave in a hurry. His Majesty wants to see you."

Thinking of the frequent glances cast at me at the banquet, and the letters and items sent over the past six months that showed my presence everywhere despite my absence...

Liu Hao sighed and looked at him:

"Lead the way."
