The court is stable, and Wen Zhimiao can't keep skipping court. He still has to deal with the follow-up matters.

There are so many people implicated in this incident. In addition to the many vacancies that need to be filled in the court, it is also a hassle to decide how to deal with the implicated aristocratic families.

After suppressing them, you have to give them a little sweetness to appease them.

After taking this position, Wen Zhimiao gradually realized how difficult it was to be a qualified emperor.

"Alas, no wonder so many emperors would rather be scolded than be a tyrant. It's easier to be a tyrant."

"Not to mention a tyrant, even an incompetent emperor who does nothing would be much easier."

Wen Zhimiao looked at the piles of memorials and couldn't help crying while lying on Shi Wanyue's legs.

Shi Wanyue's eyes have not fully recovered yet. She can only sense faint light and cannot see clearly.

Wen Zhimiao didn't dare to leave her again. As long as Shi Wanyue was awake, Wen Zhimiao would stay with her most of the time.

She would only leave for a while when she occasionally summoned ministers. At other times, even when she was handling official business, she would stay by Shi Wanyue's side, as if she was afraid that Shi Wanyue would be in danger once she left.

Shi Wanyue said that she was too nervous, but Wen Zhimiao didn't listen and just insisted on sticking around.

"Then who made Your Majesty not one of those incompetent rulers without any aspirations?" Shi Wanyue chuckled while holding her hand.

Xiangnan was watching from the side and looked away consciously, but he couldn't help but smile.

"Sister, please give me some advice~" Wen Zhimiao really felt that her brain was not enough.

"Didn't Your Majesty say it yourself, asking me to have a good rest and not think about anything?" Shi Wanyue asked teasingly.

Wen Zhimiao begged her coquettishly, "Just help with some ideas. These people are too annoying."

This time, the Ministry of Personnel seriously drew up a list, and Wen Zhimiao, Shi Guanchao, the Minister of the Central Secretariat and others also discussed it seriously, but she was still very conflicted about the selection of the new Minister of the Palace.

"Okay, then Your Majesty, please remember to reward me." Shi Wanyue said with a smile.

In fact, it wasn't that Shi Wanyue had completely given no advice to Wen Zhimiao before, it was just that someone just wanted to act like a spoiled brat.

Although Shi Wanyue can't see, Wen Zhimiao can tell her, and it would be good to ask Shi Wanyue for help with some of the things that puzzle her.

With help from others, the efficiency is much higher.

Wen Zhimiao finished cleaning up half of the memorials in the morning. As for the selection of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Shi Wanyue meant that there was no need to rush and they should examine the candidates before making a decision. It wouldn't take too long. Even if there was no Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, there would still be someone to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel.

Wen Zhimiao thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

At noon, Wen Zhimiao invited Jiang Yiyun to the palace for lunch. Jiang Yiyun hadn't seen Shi Wanyue for a long time and was really worried. Shi Guanchao had kept it a secret from her before and didn't tell her about Shi Wanyue's situation. As a result, Jiang Yiyun had lost her appetite recently and was worried about her granddaughter.

When Wen Zhimiao took Shi Wanyue to the dining hall, Jiang Yiyu was already waiting there.

As soon as he saw Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue coming over, he quickly said, "I, Jiang, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Wen Zhimiao went over and helped her up: "Grandma, there's no need to do this. Please get up quickly."

Shi Wanyue only realized that Jiang Yiyu had arrived when she heard their conversation.

"Sister, grandma is here." Wen Zhimiao said to Shi Wanyue in a low voice.

Shi Wanyue held her hand and whispered to her, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"It's a surprise for you. I didn't let my grandmother come to see you before because I was putting on a show. I have to apologize to her." Wen Zhimiao also answered her in a low voice.

Shi Wanyue couldn't help but chuckle.

In fact, it would have been better if Jiang Yiyu hadn't come to see her before. She was injured so badly and her body was too weak. It would have been painful for the old lady to see her.

Besides, we are not sure whether her eyes can be cured. It would not be good if we gave her hope and then let her down.

"Grandma." Shi Wanyue determined Jiang Yiyu's direction by relying on her hearing and called her respectfully.

"You kid..."

"Where are you injured? Let grandma take a look. How is your eye? Your mother said the imperial physician said it can be healed. Is that true?"

The old lady couldn't help but redden her eyes when she saw her granddaughter, and she kept asking about her well-being. Shi Wanyue could only answer her cautiously and soothingly.

Wen Zhimiao didn't dare to say a word and just listened. Fortunately, Jiang Yiyu was not an unreasonable person and did not take his anger out on Wen Zhimiao.

After having lunch together, Jiang Yiyu stayed with Shi Wanyue in the palace for the whole afternoon, and finally went back before the palace gates closed.

Wen Zhimiao did suggest letting Jiang Yiyu live in the palace so that he wouldn't have to run around every day.

But Shi Wanyue said no, she didn’t want to.

The reason is that if Jiang Yiyu stayed in the palace all the time, she would have even less freedom.

"My grandmother must not allow me to do many things. I would suffocate to death if I did that." Shi Wanyue didn't want that to happen.

After listening to it, Wen Zhimiao also felt that it made sense.

Therefore, Jiang Yiyu was not allowed to live in the palace.

However, Wen Zhimiao still gave her a token, allowing her to enter and leave the palace freely every day.

In the afternoon, Qi Linglang, Zheng Shu, as well as Bian Ruitong and Duan Jiling who had hurried back, came to the palace to accompany Shi Wanyue.

Wen Zhimiao originally wanted to join them, but she was too busy to join them.

The war is still going on and we need to be careful about everything.

King Brahma is indeed not easy to deal with. Today, Tianqi itself has barely stabilized, but it is also a chaotic period of handover. Wen Zhimiao does not want anything to affect the war situation.

Beirong is much more difficult to deal with than Lu Jin. After all, neither King Fan nor Ao Dun are fools.

And what is different from Lu Jin is that no matter how much fighting there is within Bei Rong, they are not independent like Lu Jin. After all, the King of Bei Rong is not dead yet, and the king's power is concentrated.

Gunpowder is powerful, but it cannot completely determine the victory or failure of a war.

If you want the soldiers on the front line to be able to fight with peace of mind, you must provide sufficient support from the rear.

King Brahma opened a gap in Apocalypse through Hu Yan. Although He Yuanyao's father had gone to obstruct it, Beirong also dispatched a large number of troops and horses to prepare for a breakthrough from there.

Moreover, the vassal states of Beirong in the west also sent troops, which put great pressure on the northwest.

He Mu was blocking them with an army of 40,000, while Ji Qinghuai's strategy was to continue advancing based on the place currently occupied by Luan Xuefeng.

On the other hand, He Yuanyao also wrote a letter requesting support, wanting to change from defense to offense. The strategy she proposed to Ji Qinghuai was to transport some soldiers from the eastern coastal battlefield to launch a surprise attack on the northeastern part of Beirong.

Ji Qinghuai disagreed at first because this army was destined to be alone and deep in the enemy's territory and would have a hard time succeeding.

Yun Jiuzhao disagreed at first after hearing it.

Finally, He Yuanyao wrote down his plan in detail overnight and sent a copy not only to Ji Qinghuai, but also to Wen Zhimiao, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War.
