Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The two armies set out at the same time. Ning Zhiwei personally led the civil and military officials to see them off, including the Ning family's children.

Let them see and feel it for themselves.

The departure ceremony was grand and vigorous. Ning Zhiwei stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers with strict military discipline. Every familiar face looked so vibrant.

She gave a passionate speech to boost morale and said that they were the greatest warriors who were going there for the unification of the country and the peace of the people. Their bravery would be recorded in the history of the Dayong Empire.

This made the soldiers excited and tears filled their eyes.

Finally, Ning Zhiwei wished them a successful start and a triumphant return.

"I am looking forward to celebrating your success!"

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, "Long live, long live, long live."

The mountains roared and the sea reached the sky.

It was the first time for the Ning family children to see such a magnificent scene. They were very excited and it also planted the seed of fighting for the country.

Ning Zhiwei looked at Ning Qishao who was standing in the front, dressed in military uniform and looking very heroic, as if the spirited young general had returned.

"Seventh brother, take care."

Ning Qishao's blood boiled, and his long-lost fighting spirit was ignited. "Don't worry, I will come back alive. Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself too."

He is still the most suitable for the battlefield, relying on every sword and every gun to earn back his honor and safeguard the glory of the Ning family.

The brother and sister seemed to have returned to the past, fighting side by side and relying on each other.

Those were truly brilliant and bright times.

Ning Qishao looked at his wife with a serious expression, "Xinyu, I have asked someone to bring grandma and the others back to the capital. They will live in Qingluo Villa in the future. You are pregnant, so you can live there too. We can take care of each other."

On Qingluo Mountain is the cemetery of generations of Ning family generals. Qingluo Mountain Villa was built to guard the tombs. The villa has everything, the environment is quiet, isolated from the world, and the villagers are all former members of the Ning family, so it is very safe.

Back then, the women of the Ning family were rescued from the Heavenly Prison by Ning Zhiwei and went to Qingluo Villa to avoid disaster.

Duan Xinyu pursed her lips and said, "I will take care of the family and serve the elders. You can go to the war with peace of mind."

Ning Qishao's mind was on the war, and he just thought she had agreed, "I'll leave the family and the elders in your care. I'll earn you a super first-class imperial decree."

As for the younger generations, they were all brought into the palace by Ning Zhiwei and educated personally, so Duan Xinyu had no contact with them.

"Okay." Duan Xinyu looked at him lovingly, her eyes full of reluctance to leave.

Ning Qishao nodded slightly at her, climbed onto his horse, raised his arm and shouted, "Let's go to war."

At the command, he rushed out first, and the soldiers followed.

Young Master Ning galloped on his horse towards the sunshine, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Ning Zhiwei gave him the most precious treasure of the royal family of the previous dynasty, the invulnerable golden silk soft armor. Wearing it now, the feeling was different, and his heart felt warm.

Thank you, sister.

Watching the two armies leave in a mighty manner, Ning Zhiwei took a deep breath and said, "Let's all go back."

Duan Xinyu came over and said, "Sister...ah, Your Majesty, do you know when the Seventh Young Master sent people to the northwest? Do you want to go and greet the elders in the northwest on their way back to the capital?"

Young Master Ning is the patriarch of the Ning family. All the old generals of the Ning family stayed with him, and he did not even say hello to Duan Xinyu when he did things.

Men are responsible for external affairs, while women are responsible for internal affairs.

However, without Ning Zhiwei's permission, Ning Qishao did not dare to take the person back without permission.

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "I went to pick him up a few days ago. If you are free, go and greet him."

Her attitude was very clear. She valued Ning Qishao and Ning Wenyin very much and took great care of the younger generations of the Ning family. However, she only cared about the women of the Ning family.

Even though Duan Xinyu was Ning Zhiwei's sister-in-law, she didn't give her any special care and didn't even show any concern when she was pregnant.

"Yes."

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly and left with his men.

When the new dynasty was established, everything had to start over. Ning Zhiwei was busy with all kinds of affairs and had to work until late at night every day.

If she continues to be so busy, she will have to set up a cabinet and transfer some power.

Rong Jing is the Minister of Personnel, responsible for the selection of officials and the imperial examinations to select talents for the country.

However, Xiao Linfeng was the Minister of War. He handed over the Jinyiwei without hesitation and was responsible for commanding the three armies in the capital. He trained the troops every day and was ready to go to war at any time.

The Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards are directly under the jurisdiction of Ning Zhiwei and are responsible for her safety. It is impossible for them to fall into the hands of others.

Xiao Linfeng already commands the army, so it is impossible for him to also serve as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He has too much power and is difficult to control.

Ning Zhiwei would not rely on anyone for his own safety.

The commander of the imperial guards is Ning Qiu Sheng, her direct descendant.

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is Yu Qing, one of her personal guards. He came to her at the same time as Ning Ran. He has followed her in battles over the past few years and has always been the commander of her guards.

A group of scholars flocked to the capital, and everywhere was filled with literati, just for the imperial examination ten days later.

Outside the city, two men looked up at the city gate, their eyes full of surprise.

Wu An was shocked. "I thought the city wall would be in tatters after several wars, but it looks like new."

Mo Yichen was also surprised. "My relative said in the letter that the capital city has been ruined beyond recognition, but now...what's going on?"

The eighteen rebel kings besieged the capital city for such a long time that the city must have been in ruins as the war spread.

But, what is happening in front of me?

The passerby in front of them turned around and looked at them. "Are you from outside? This wall was repaired after the Queen entered the city. It took a whole month to repair it."

The two suddenly realized, "No wonder it's so new."

Passersby were quite proud of it. "Not only the city wall is new, but the roads in the city have also been renovated. They are clean and solid."

Mo Yichen cupped his hands and said, "I see. May I ask, old man, which inn in this city has a better reputation?"

The passers-by looked at them and asked, "Are you coming to the capital to take the exam?"

The two looked at each other and said, "Yes."

They were classmates and good friends. Both were famous talents with great ambitions. Unfortunately, they did not encounter good opportunities.

In these years, the last emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty did not hold the imperial examination. Because of the chaos and war, he had no time to do it.

I endure this year after year without seeing a glimmer of hope.

They have a strong desire to serve their country, but they can't find a way to do it.

The passerby laughed and said, "Then you can go to Zhuangyuan Building. It is an inn specially set up by the government to entertain candidates. Food and accommodation are free."

The two were surprised and delighted. There was such a good thing? The emperor's grace was great.

After entering the city, the two were immediately shocked by the prosperous scene before them.

People come and go in an endless stream. The people are in good spirits and have light in their eyes.

Wu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the empress's good reputation was not a lie.

When he turned around, he saw Mo Yichen standing blankly in the middle of the road, looking ahead in horror.

An out-of-control carriage came running towards them. "Be careful."

In a restaurant not far away, Ning Zhiwei and Rong Jing were standing by the window on the third floor. When they saw this scene, their faces changed slightly.

At this moment, they had not expected that at this time, the four great ministers of the prosperous Zhaoming era would appear on the stage.
