Chen Xu: "Our ability to defend the country will be stronger."

An Chen looked at Chen Xu and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work! But don't worry, after this is done, I will definitely give you a big surprise."

Chen Xu looked puzzled, scratched his head, and said with a simple smile: "Your Highness, you are too kind. This is all my responsibility. I only do this out of loyalty and do not ask for anything in return!"

Xu Zhen patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't think too much. Since you have paid, you should get something in return. Don't worry, at least I will introduce you to a wife."

After hearing this, Chen Xu's face turned red and he lowered his head, not daring to say anything more. The princess was too fierce, and he was really afraid that she would say something inappropriate again.

After Xu Zhen and An Chen walked out of Chen Xu's tent, they immediately selected twenty elite soldiers, then boarded a helicopter and returned to the capital, preparing to report the situation here to the emperor.

This military reform will undoubtedly bring new vitality and opportunities to the country. The establishment of the Construction Corps will become an important force for national development. At the same time, the establishment of ports and the establishment of the navy will also provide solid support for the country.

As Xu Zhen was flying the helicopter, he frowned and said to himself, "Are we being too hasty? We have not even had time to report to the emperor, but we have already made so many decisions. Everything happened too suddenly. I wonder if the ministers will agree with these plans. I hope we can get the emperor's approval and support in the end."

The twenty people who were flying for the first time were extremely excited, but after hearing Xu Zhen's words, they couldn't help but feel uneasy. They had full trust in the arrangement of the goddess, and they also personally felt the great changes in the army in the past few months.

They are willing to follow the goddess' plan, but there are some stubborn ministers in the court who are always happy to go against their generals. They don't know whether this reform can proceed smoothly.

On the way back to Beijing, they saw that the lives of the people in Anguo were gradually returning to normal, the fields were green and full of vitality, which made them more determined to promote reform.

After returning to the capital, An Chen and Xu Zhen immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor and reported the military reform plan to him in detail.

They introduced to the emperor the necessity of military reform and the specific implementation plan, and emphasized the importance of this reform to the security of the country.

The emperor listened carefully to their report, appreciated the plan, and gave full affirmation. After the ministers understood the interests involved, they all praised it on the surface. No one objected, even if all members passed it, the emperor approved it all!

He believes that this plan is innovative and forward-looking and can effectively enhance the strength of the Anguo army.

He immediately expressed his support and issued an imperial edict without hesitation, appointing An Chen as the commander-in-chief to be responsible for the specific implementation work, starting with the Northern Frontier Defense Camp as a pilot, and Chen Xu assisting An Chen in carrying out the work in an all-round way.

After obtaining the emperor's approval and authorization, An Chen reported to the emperor his plan to create a port and establish a navy.

The ministers only heard new words and new things today, and they didn't know how to react, so they just agreed.

Everything they have now is a gift from the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, so they can only choose to obey these two nobles.

In the court, no one dared to go against the wishes of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, because they knew that only by obeying orders could they maintain their status and wealth.

After all, they are all veterans in officialdom who know how to adapt to the times and seize opportunities.

The emperor looked at An Chen with a smile, saying that he fully supported An Chen's decision and gave him full autonomy. He believed that An Chen could handle state affairs well, and as a father, he had long wanted to let go and let his son display his talents.

An Chen reported the current situation of the Japanese city to the emperor and emphasized the importance of establishing a navy.

He said that by reforming the army, the soldiers who remained in the army would be able to bring their families to settle in Wa Castle.

This will not only bring in a large amount of labor, but also promote population growth and enhance national strength.

The emperor appreciated this suggestion very much and thought it was a wise move. He approved Anchen's proposal and expressed his full support.

At the same time, he told An Chen, "You can withdraw as much silver as you need from the Ministry of Revenue at any time. We have previously checked the residences of many ministers, and the treasury is now extremely well-stocked."

An Chen: "Father, during this period, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Rites all have a lot of things to do, and they also require a lot of silver. I have all the money of the Qian family, which can be used for a while."

Emperor: "Yes. By the way, the History Department is having a headache organizing a secretariat for you. When you have time, go talk to the Minister of History about how to train the secretariat. You are not in the capital, and the Minister of History has come to see me several times."

An Chen: "Haven't they found the time yet? Why are they in such a hurry? Just practice the basic work first."

Emperor: "Now all departments are busy making achievements, but their History Department is missing too many people. It's hard to get an opportunity, but he doesn't know how to operate it. Of course, he is very anxious."

An Chen: "I will have someone notify him to come to my house after I return home. I need to hear Zhenzhen's details first."

Xu Zhen: "Don't worry, Father. Your daughter-in-law will definitely teach them everything she knows so that they can get started as soon as possible."

Emperor: "Well, I am assured of what you said. What does this group do?"

An Chen: "With this secretariat, we will be able to handle government affairs more efficiently in the future."

Xu Zhen: "Yes, this will not only reduce the burden on ministers, but also improve work efficiency."

Emperor: "That's good. You guys should take more care of it."

An Chen and Xu Zhen responded in unison: "Thank you, Father!"

The emperor said nonchalantly, "Just make your own arrangements. Concubine Hui is in poor health, and your mother often advises me to spend more time with her. You can handle these matters yourselves in the future."

An Chen knew very well that the emperor was deliberately using his mother as a shield, but he still said, "Father, there is no need to use my mother as an excuse. I will go see her now."

Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately smiled and said, "That's great. I will go with you. My dear ministers all have endless things to do, so I will not delay you any longer. Let's adjourn the court!"

The ministers secretly murmured in their hearts: "Is the emperor trying to be lazy again? He said that he would not delay us, but it is obvious that he is afraid that we ministers will delay his personal time if we report our work."

After leaving the imperial study, the ministers looked eagerly at the emperor walking towards his favorite car - a super luxurious sedan. This car was a gift from the Crown Princess to the emperor, a flashy red sports car that made everyone envious.

An Chen and Xu Zhen were both speechless about the emperor's behavior. An Chen couldn't help but complain, "Father, it's only a few steps away, but you still want to drive a sports car. I'm afraid you've already arrived before you even speed up, right?"

De Fu: "Don't worry, Prince. The Imperial Garden has now been paved with a special running track. It's impossible to get to the destination without going around it eight or ten times. Your Highness, please get in the car. This road is still far!"

The emperor rolled his eyes at Defu in annoyance, "What do you want to say, old man? I am happy with it, do you have any objection?"

An Chen smiled and looked at Defu, and said to the emperor: "Father, please don't scare Eunuch Fu. He has been with you for most of his life. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. Let him come up. He should also benefit from your glory, right?"

Defu thanked the prince gratefully, feeling secretly delighted. Since the emperor got this car, apart from the guards and drivers who drove the car, only the queen had the honor of riding it once, and no one else had the chance. He never thought that he would have such an honor today.

Seeing that the emperor had no objection, Defu quickly opened the door and got into the car. When the emperor wanted to say something to refute, the door had already closed.

De Fu sat in the car, his excitement beyond words. After all, this was a car that only the emperor could ride in!

The ministers who had not left yet had envious eyes. They were surprised to find that no matter what the goddess wanted to do, the emperor would nod and agree without hesitation and give full support. As a result, the emperor obtained many strange but very good things.

These ministers are determined to follow the instructions of the goddess and promote the economic development of Anguo as soon as possible. Perhaps in the near future, they will also be able to own such an eye-catching vehicle.

When the driver started the car, as expected, the guards behind the wheel prepared to circle the imperial garden countless times.

However, An Chen said loudly: "Go directly to the Queen Mother's palace. If you continue to go around in circles, you will get off the car."

The guard stole a glance at the emperor, silently slowed down the car, and drove towards the queen's palace.

The car quickly arrived at the gate of the Queen's palace, and the Emperor and An Chen got out together.

At this time, the Queen and Concubine Hui were chatting and laughing about something. When they heard that the Emperor was coming, they hurried out to greet him.

They bowed respectfully and said in unison: "Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite, get up quickly!" The emperor personally stepped forward to help the queen and Huifei up, looking at them with a smile, his eyes full of care and joy. "Hui'er is here too, that's good, you are pregnant now, walking around more will be very beneficial to the baby in your belly."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Concubine Hui raised her lips, revealing a happy smile, and replied softly: "My concubine and Long Er are doing well. The imperial physician is taking good care of us. Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have nothing to do in the palace, so I thought of coming to visit my sister and chat to relieve my boredom."

"Well, that's great." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Chen'er and Zhenzhen are back from outside, and they came to see you. I happened to have nothing to deal with today, so I came with them."

Xu Zhen met the Queen and Concubine Hui, and they chatted about family matters. Xu Zhen asked about the Queen and Concubine Hui's health and daily life with concern.

An Chen stood quietly aside, listening carefully to everyone's conversation and occasionally interjecting a few words at the right time. The whole scene seemed particularly harmonious.

After Xu Zhen scanned Concubine Hui's belly with an instrument, he confirmed that just as Tuan Tuan had said before, she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.

She also took out a lot of calcium tablets and folic acid suitable for pregnant women from the space. In addition, she also specially prepared massage oil to prevent stretch marks, and patiently taught the maids around Concubine Hui the correct way to use it.

Concubine Hui: "You gave me quite a bit last time. It was really thoughtful. But I am already old. I am afraid that my body cannot bear it. I can't help but feel scared."

Emperor: "I have already told you that the imperial doctors have practiced caesarean sections many times and there have been no problems. Besides, the real master has given us so many advanced instruments that you and your child will be safe."

Xu Zhen: "Don't worry, Madam, as long as you have regular prenatal checkups, there won't be any problems."

Concubine Hui: "Okay, if you have Zhenzhen, I will feel relieved."

"It's getting late, so we won't disturb our mother and Concubine Hui from resting." An Chen looked up at the sky and spoke.

"Well, you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't overwork yourself." The queen advised with a smile.

"We will follow our mother's teachings." An Chen and Xu Zhen responded in unison.

After saying goodbye to the Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Hui, An Chen and Xu Zhen got on the carriage and slowly drove to the palace. It had been a long time since they had ridden in a carriage, and now sitting in the carriage, feeling the slight bumps, it felt pretty good.

"This time when I returned to Beijing, I found a lot of things to do for myself. Don't you think we are just looking for trouble? Look at the people in the whole country now, from top to bottom, they have become nervous because of us, and everyone is so nervous." Xu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, but they are all very happy and their spirits are getting higher and higher. It seems that they all hope that there will be a lot of work to be done next." An Chen said with a smile, "Don't be sentimental, we need to work out a specific implementation plan as soon as possible. The twenty people should have been sent to school, let's go to the school tomorrow to take a look."

"Okay, no problem." Xu Zhen nodded, and then asked: "By the way, what do you think about establishing a navy?"

An Chen pondered for a moment and replied, "I want to ask Sima Yi to come over first to learn about his progress in studying the military academy courses and ask about his teaching arrangements. In particular, what specific teaching plans does he have for the training of these 20 people?"

After hearing this, Xu Zhen smiled and agreed: "Well, this is a good idea. In this way, we can better understand Sima Yi's teaching ideas and methods and ensure that this group of students can receive the most effective training."

However, he immediately added: "However, both Chen Xu and Sima Yi are very busy. We need to arrange their time reasonably so that they have the opportunity to communicate face to face. After all, they are the core generals of this army and must work together to promote the development of various tasks. In addition, we should also consider training some capable deputies to reduce their burden and improve their work efficiency."

An Chen nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. We can't let the two commanders get too tired. We need to plan carefully."
