The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Duke Su was right. The emperor has been on the throne for so long, and not a single official from the six ministries and nine departments in the court has suggested sending their daughters to the palace to stabilize the family.

Even those officials who were eager to get promoted did not want to send their daughters to the palace to influence the emperor.

They saw the Crown Princess kill someone with their own eyes.

I was so scared at the time, and now I don’t even dare to have such a delusion.

Even though Zhao Zhen was always a little confused, he had already made plans. When his ministers made suggestions, he would righteously refuse them in the court.

However, since he ascended the throne, no official in the court has given him any advice.

Even the censors who used to love to interrupt were surprisingly quiet.

This made Zhao Zhen feel lonely.

Now, the most notable thing in Chang'an City is that there is a new Earl of Jing'an in the court, and the emperor has also granted Earl of Jing'an a mansion.

Although the Earl of Jing'an does not have an official position, he is still an earl after all!

Marquis Jing'an is the emperor's savior, so he has a bright future.

Moreover, this Jing'an Earl looked very secure and was physically strong. Some minor officials who wanted to climb the career ladder did not mind his former identity as a Hu people and approached him privately.

Langbu now had a house and more servants.

These were all prepared for him by Zhao Zhen, and the servants were all well-trained.

Langbu was very satisfied with this, and he didn't mind that those people were sent by Zhao Zhen.

He had already come to surrender and had no intention of rebelling, nor did he care about the emperor's spies in his home.

But he was bored sitting at home all day.

There are many restaurants in the capital, and he has been to all of them.

After a while, it becomes boring.

That day, he sent a letter of greeting to Zhao Zhen.

Of course, the memorial was not written by him personally, but by Zhao Zhen’s housekeeper who sent it to him.

The man was both the butler of the Earl's palace and Ramb's teacher.

Langbu didn't understand the culture of the Central Plains, so they sent it over for fear that he would offend others.

Zhao Zhen no longer needs to use a wheelchair, and was a little surprised to know that Langbu had sent a letter of greeting.

"Oh? Please let Jing'anbo come in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, Eunuch Su retreated.

Xiao Jingrui said at this time: "Your Majesty, now Li Guozhu and Cao Kun's two armies are encircling and suppressing the Western Qiang, and only Xia Tongqi in Yizhou is fighting against the White Wolf Clan, which is really struggling.

If another large army were to set out from Jianwei now and join Xia Tongqi in encircling and suppressing the White Wolf Tribe, then victory would be just around the corner."

Zhao Zhen also knew the current situation. He looked at the territory where the White Wolf Clan was and said, "Then send another team. Who do you think is the most suitable person to send, cousin?"

Xiao Jingrui said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops personally."

The autumn harvest has passed, the court has collected the autumn taxes, and has obtained food and fodder.

Both Zhao Zhen and Xiao Jingrui wanted to take this opportunity to directly swallow up the White Wolf tribe.

The White Wolf Tribe colluded with the Western Qiang, and they wanted to provoke the Great Yan Dynasty with just a tiny country.

This time, the Great Yan Dynasty was about to win and let other neighbors around it see that the Great Yan Dynasty was no pushover.

Not everyone can eat a bite of fat meat.

Zhao Zhen thought of Xiao Jingrui's position and shook his head. "I feel relieved that my cousin is watching over me in the Ministry of War. Let's let someone else lead the troops to war!"

At this time, Langbu, who had walked to the door of the hall, heard these words as soon as he came in.

At this time, there were only Zhao Zhen and Xiao Jingrui in the hall. They were originally chatting, and later they started discussing the affairs of the court.

Therefore, Langbu was not avoided.

After Langbu came in, he first bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

"Be flat!"

After Langbu got up, he asked curiously, "Who are you going to send to fight?"

He used to be a military general and was particularly sensitive to this matter.

Xiao Jingrui was still wary of Langbu. He picked up the teacup and started drinking tea.

Lang Bu curled his lips at the masked Xiao Jingrui. He also knew his identity, so he changed the subject, "Your Majesty, can you stand up?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, "Well, walking is no longer a problem now."

Langbu nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that he can walk. The old doctor in Xihe is quite good at medicine."

Zhao Zhen thought of Langbu's kindness in taking care of him, and asked with a smile, "You handed in a greeting letter today, what's the matter?"

Langbu scratched his head and said, "I just feel bored and want to ask you what I can do."

Langbu is only in his twenties and it is not time for him to retire yet.

Thinking of how Xiao Jingrui had been on guard against him just now, he picked out something he could do and said, "In addition to fighting, I can also raise cattle and horses. Why don't I go and train a war horse for you!"

Langbu had no other intentions. He was not used to staying in the mansion all day.

When he was on the grassland, he would ride his horse and gallop across the grassland at any time.

Now I want to go to the stable to train a war horse for Zhao Zhen, and I also want to ride the horse for fun at any time.

Zhao Zhen did not agree immediately, but looked around at Langbu.

"No, I have another job for you."

Langbu was rejected and a little disappointed. "What errand?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I am in need of a vanguard officer to lead the troops to battle. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"

Lamb: "????"

Langbu was surprised at first, then he looked delighted, "You...you are willing to let me lead the troops?"

Langbu couldn't believe that Zhao Zhen was willing to trust him to this extent.

Zhao Zhen said: "Now the Baiyi tribe is attacking the Yan Dynasty. I wonder if you are willing to lead your troops to support the governor of Yizhou."

Langbu knelt down solemnly at this time, "I obey your order!"

Langbu left the palace with the imperial edict. He was now promoted to the seventh rank captain and went to support Xia Tongqi.

For this reason, some officials in the court spoke out.

Many memorials were sent to Zhao Zhen's desk, all of which advised the emperor not to send Langbu to the war.

Zhao Zhen kept the letter aside and ignored it.

Don't use people who are suspicious, don't use people!

He did not doubt Langbu's thoughts, as he was alone and had no other family.

Sure enough, Langbu did not disappoint Zhao Zhen. He brought a team of people to support and soon saw the results.

Although Xia Tongqi was a governor, he was not a general who led troops in battles all year round. His talent lay in government affairs.

Langbu was different. He grew up on horseback and had the talent to lead troops.

Soon, the lost city was recaptured.

Later, Langbu's team reunited with Cao Kun's team.

The two teams fought directly to the Tanggula area. At this time, the two teams split into two, one to capture the Western Qiang and the other to capture the White Wolf tribe.

In this way, in less than three months, the entire Western Qiang and White Wolf tribes were completely wiped out.

For this reason, all western regions were returned to the Great Yan Dynasty.

Less than half a year after Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, the territory of the Yan Dynasty expanded.
