Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Rong Jing was the first to disagree, "You are the king of a country, how can you take risks yourself? Let the people below go."

Ning Zhiwei is no longer the commander-in-chief of the Ning family army or a general, but an emperor who has ascended the throne. The safety of the world is dependent on him and he cannot afford to suffer any harm.

Ning Wenyin was also anxious, "Yes, there are so many generals, it won't be your turn to lead the army in person, please don't go."

Sheng Xia frowned, "Your Majesty, in this troubled time, we urgently need you to stay in the capital. Only you can keep everyone under control."

There is a natural gap between the civil and military officials, and neither of them gives in, resulting in disputes from time to time. Only Ning Zhiwei can suppress the officials of both the civil and military systems.

Zhou Hongye had a terrible headache. "War is going on in the northwest and northeast, and the southeast is ready to make a move. The situation is too complicated. It is not appropriate for you to lead the army in person."

Leading the army in person is a national event, requiring unimaginable amounts of manpower, financial resources and material resources.

This put the finances, which were originally quite wealthy, into a state of emergency.

Ning Zhiwei knew everything and understood everything, but once the northwest region was lost, the Jin soldiers would march straight into the capital.

The two countries also have an old grudge. The Jin Kingdom had suffered a lot at her hands before. Once they gain power, she has no doubt that they will take crazy revenge.

When the time comes, they will burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil, and the people will suffer.

She had to go and stop it.

"Su Mingjin in the southeast is in trouble. The former dynasty and the harem are in chaos. The Northern Expedition plan has failed. It will not be possible to raise an army within half a year."

Everyone was a little surprised. Even though they were so far away, they knew everything clearly. Was this... done by the Emperor?

Ning Zhiwei glanced at Rong Jing. Rong Jing lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, hiding his achievements and fame.

This is just a trivial plan. Su Mingjin's previous dynasty was entirely supported by the aristocratic families. There is a scourge like Lin Jingshu in the harem, and there are many contradictions. As long as someone adds fuel to the fire, it will naturally collapse.

All we can say is that Su Mingjin himself is not strong enough. He relies on his aristocratic family to compete for supremacy in the Central Plains and on Lin Jingshu to make money, so his voice is destined to be limited.

He only said, "Your Majesty, the political significance of leading the army in person is too great. If you do something wrong, it will affect the entire body. You should reconsider it."

He didn't want Ning Zhiwei to lead the troops to the northwest personally, but Ning Zhiwei's character was not to listen to advice and he didn't go back on his word.

"Ning Ran is not his opponent. He can be ranked in the top five among Dayong's generals."

Therefore, he could not defeat the Jin general.

Sheng Xia couldn't help but say, "How about sending Young Master Ning over? Bring up his deputy general?"

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly, "If it was Ning Ba, even Brother Seven would not be his opponent."

"In this world, few people are Ning Ba's opponent, but I can fight him."

Everyone was silent. Ning Zhiwei was the expert when it came to fighting.

Ning Zhiwei looked serious, "Seventh Brother is in the northeast, and Huo Shaokang is in the southwest, don't worry."

"Rong Jing will be stationed in the capital and be in charge of the overall planning, with Zhou Hongye, Ning Wenyin, and Shengxia assisting him."

This was a direct imperial order. The people named stood up and said, "Yes."

Now that the decision has been made, let's work together to prepare for the expedition.

Ning Wenyin said, "I suggest that the army march quietly, cover their tracks all the way, and kill them by surprise."

Rong Jing said calmly, "The army makes too much noise, and it's hard to keep it quiet when consuming and deploying food and fodder along the way."

Ning Zhiwei gave the order, "Prepare food and fodder for 60,000 troops. Move quickly. The army will be assembled in five days and march to the northwest."

"Yes."

Rong Jing suddenly said, "Your Majesty, please take Zhou Hongye with you. He is quite smart. Having one more person to help you make plans will reduce your pressure."

Ning Zhiwei hesitated a little, "The pressure in Beijing is not small either."

Rong Jing said softly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. The situation in the southeast is under my close monitoring. I will make trouble from time to time to make Su Mingjin never have peace."

"Row."

Everyone dispersed and prepared for the expedition, only Rong Jing stayed behind.

"In fact, I really want to go on the expedition with you and stay by your side."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him deeply, "Zhou Hongye's influence is not enough, and his resume and background cannot suppress all parties. Only you have the ability to coordinate the overall situation."

Frontline combat is important, but rear-line support work is equally important.

All the pressure of fighting on three fronts was concentrated on him.

"You will be under a lot of pressure then, so be prepared mentally."

Rong Jing knew this, so he didn't volunteer, "Alas."

"I just hope you remember one thing, take care of yourself. You are not only the soul of the Great Yong Empire, but also the safety of the world. You are also the person I care about the most, more important than my life, so you must not be in any danger."

Once on the battlefield, swords and knives are merciless and even an emperor cannot control them.

However, Ning Zhi smiled and nodded, "I understand. You must be careful in the capital. You can't guard against spies."

"it is good."

Ning Zhiwei was also making preparations before leaving Beijing, and had to arrange everything properly.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the fourth day.

The voices of Ning Xinzhe and Ning Yuanxi were heard outside, and Ning Zhiwei raised her voice and said, "Let them in."

The two came in and bowed respectfully. Ning Xinzhe couldn't wait to ask, "Aunt, aunt, are you going to lead the army in person?"

Ning Zhiwei looked at the next generation of the Ning family and said, "Yes, do you want to stay in the palace or go back to Qingluo Villa?"

Ning Xinzhe's eyes sparkled, "Aunt, please allow me to follow you to the battlefield."

Ning Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, "You are only nine years old."

Ning Xinzhe's eyes were full of longing. "All the children of the Ning family go to the battlefield at the age of ten. I am only one year younger. I will have to face it sooner or later. Why not let me see the world in advance?"

He is the eldest grandson of the Ning family and the Duke of Weiguo. Sooner or later he will have to go to the battlefield.

Ning Zhiwei looked at him steadily, "It's very dangerous. I can't guarantee your safety."

Ning Xinzhe held his head high and said, "My ancestors are not afraid, my father is not afraid, my aunt is not afraid, and I am not afraid either."

Ning Zhiwei remained silent.

Ning Yuanxi cleared his throat and said, "Aunt, let him go. If he wants to become an eagle flying in the sky, he must endure the wind and rain and go through hardships."

"He is the one who will shoulder the responsibility of supporting the Ning family. Please give him a chance to exercise."

It’s not that I’m cruel, but there’s no other way. Most of the men in the Ning family have died, and the inheritance has been interrupted. How long can the family last with only Uncle Seventh alone?

Ning Zhiwei pondered for a while. All the members of the Ning family grew up in war, and no one was an exception.

"Okay, you can be my personal guard and you are not allowed to leave my side."

The safest place is around the emperor.

"Yes."

On the day of the expedition, Ning Zhiwei assembled 60,000 troops and swore an oath outside the city. She gave an impassioned speech, which excited the soldiers so much that they wished they could fight the invading enemy for 300 rounds and drive them all out of the border.

Just as they were preparing to set off, dust rose up in the air ahead and a group of people rode their horses galloping towards them. The man in the lead was wearing a black cloak and looked very energetic.

Ning Zhiwei narrowed her eyes slightly. Huh? Why is it him?

The leading man dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of her, "Your Majesty, I am back. I am willing to follow Your Majesty to conquer the northwest."
