At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Xia Yun looked in the direction the empress pointed, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

It’s because what the empress wanted at this moment was nothing else but the car produced in Dai County!

When hundreds of chariots passed by Hongyan Tower, one exquisite car after another appeared in the field of vision of Hongyan Tower.

He had even promised to give the empress a car.

Obviously, now is finally the time for him to fulfill his promise!

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will deliver the car to the palace tonight and provide a special driver."

Xia Yun nodded in response.

"awesome!"

The empress looked very happy.

Owning a car was something she had been thinking about almost day and night in the past few days.

Cars are much better than carriages and sedan chairs in terms of speed and riding comfort.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming, Lei Zhenning and others on the side, when they looked at the cars driving on the street, their minds unconsciously revealed a hint of heat.

Obviously, they were also very interested in the car.

Xia Yun noticed the changes in the expressions of several people and then silently memorized them in his mind.

Those cars were not meant for marching and fighting.

Once the war begins, the troops often have to move forward through mud and ravines, and only tanks can move forward.

As for cars, they will be out of service if they encounter slightly complicated road conditions!

……

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The baggage train that entered the capital from Deshengmen eventually left the capital from Andingmen.

According to Xia Yun's instructions.

The baggage train left behind all the cars, and the rest of the tanks and military supplies were all driven to the Langtan Camp as soon as possible.

However, although the chariots left the capital, the enthusiasm of ordinary people in the capital did not wane.

After witnessing Xia Yun's powerful troops, almost all the people's patriotic sentiment reached its peak.

Some ordinary people who were originally afraid of the impending war in the northern border have also put aside their fears.

Many people even took the initiative to find the imperial conscription office and actively signed up to join the army.

There is no doubt that the effect the empress wanted was achieved.

All the doubts and hazes that had previously existed in the capital were swept away!

That night.

Xia Yun fulfilled his promise and appeared outside the palace gate in a car.

The car stayed outside the gate for nearly a quarter of an hour.

A thin figure covered in a black robe walked out of the gate.

"Oh, why did you park your car here? It would be embarrassing if someone saw it."

After the thin figure got on the bus, his true appearance was revealed.

It was none other than the Empress Xiao Ling'er!

"The rest of the place is guarded by the Imperial Guards. If you want everyone to know that the Emperor quietly left the palace, then that's fine with me."

Xia Yun laughed.

In addition to fulfilling his promise, he also came to take the empress out for a ride.

"Alright, alright, let's drive away quickly, but don't let those old antiques see us."

Xiao Ling'er urged.

As the emperor of Daliang, she was like a guilty thief at this moment, afraid that others would find out that she and Xia Yun were alone together.

You should know that as the first female emperor of the Daliang Dynasty, she has not yet married.

And because of her special status, the royal family did not dare to urge her to get married.

If someone were to see her and Xia Yun together.

I'm afraid that by tomorrow morning, the rumors about her and Xia Yun will spread throughout the capital.

"Boom boom boom!"

Xia Yun looked at Xiao Ling'er who looked like a thief and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Then, with the roar of the engine, the car drove out of the palace gate.

Most of the roads in the capital are quite narrow and not suitable for cars.

Therefore, when Xia Yun drove out of the palace gate, he went straight to the city gate.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

The car left the capital.

Xia Yun took Xiao Ling'er and started to take a drive around the outskirts of the capital.

Xiao Ling'er, who was "guilty as a thief", finally relaxed at this moment.

The car was not driving fast, and when the sunroof was opened, the gentle autumn breeze instantly blew on my face.

Xiao Ling'er revealed a sweet smile.

Yeah! That’s the feeling!

Xiao Ling'er instantly recalled the experience of riding in a car in Dai County.

Her body and mind also began to relax after a long time.

……

Late at night, the Xu Mansion in the capital was still brightly lit.

However, there were no guests in Xu's mansion.

Xu Jinsong, the chief minister of the current cabinet, was sitting in the lobby at this moment, his eyes full of gloom.

Young cabinet minister Xu Miao sat aside, flipping through various documents in his hands.

"Father, what's going on? Why did His Majesty suddenly issue such an order?"

When Xu Miao finished reading all the documents, his inner doubts reached their peak.

This is because the core information recorded on each of these documents is the same.

That was the order issued by the empress, to forcibly seize nearly half of the military forces from the governors and princes of various regions of the Daliang Dynasty!

You know, this is not an easy thing to do.

Any slight mistake could easily lead to a local mutiny.

"The war in the northern border is imminent, and most of the court's soldiers are recovering from injuries. This is also a helpless move."

After a long silence, Xu Jinsong finally spoke.

"This matter is too abrupt. Why don't you dissuade His Majesty, father?"

Xu Miao was quite excited.

Of course, the fundamental reason for this was not because he was worried about inciting a mutiny.

But it is because most of the current local governors are his people!

In a sense, weakening the military power of local governors is equivalent to weakening his power.

"At a time like this, it is better to be still than to move. You have seen today that the combat effectiveness of Xia Yun's troops is far beyond the reach of other troops in our Daliang Dynasty."

Xu Jinsong spoke in a leisurely voice.

Recently, he also went up to the Hongyan Tower with the empress. There, he clearly saw those steel beasts.

As a result, he also became deeply aware of a problem.

That is, there is no way they can defeat Xia Yun in terms of military strength!

Xu Miao understood the deeper meaning in his father's words, and his excitement subsided a little.

"In this Northern Frontier War, as long as we can successfully unite the Great Yuezhi, Yindu and other countries, my father's contribution will definitely not be inferior to Xia Yun."

Xu Miao immediately changed his mind and focused his attention on the upcoming battle in Northern Frontier.

In his opinion, as long as the officials of the Jiangnan Party performed better in this war, they would surely attract the attention of His Majesty again.

After all, they have always been the empress's right-hand men for so many years.

"The two countries of Great Yuezhi and Yindu are not a problem, but you should send another letter to Small Yuezhi. The king there is not very familiar with the court."

Xu Jinsong gave these instructions earnestly.
