From then on, the generals in the military camp seemed to be addicted. If they had the chance to meet the ministers, they would definitely pull the ministers aside to tell them in detail about the Battle of Liulihe.

Ministers must not miss the opportunity to brag about their great achievements, and they must talk about them in detail.

Although they complained bitterly at the time, it was now in the past. This would be something they could brag about for the rest of their lives and something that would go down in history.

The lifelong wish of many officials is to leave their names in history, and here is a great opportunity.

This must be seized upon to let everyone know that they have participated in this battle.

The stories told by the ministers are actually very similar, but different people have different perspectives when encountering some small things.

But the general direction and events all made sense, and there must have been a time when they couldn't stand the hunger anymore in the mountains.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty found a small sweet potato field. Judging from the signs that it was planted by humans, His Majesty had all the sweet potatoes in the field dug up and distributed to everyone.

But he could not take the people's things for free, so he collected the silver from his ministers and prepared to put it on the land to compensate the farmers.

As a result, after searching everyone, they couldn't find a single copper coin.

Finally, Her Majesty took out her golden token, just when everyone thought she would give it all to the farmer.

His Majesty simply used a knife to chop off a corner of the token and put it on the ground for the farmer.

At this time, some people wondered, so many people must be carrying jade pendants or valuable accessories, why do they want to split the tokens, aren't the tokens more valuable than those objects?

At this time, the minister who was telling the story would say, "Your Majesty said that unexpected wealth is not necessarily a good thing. Possessing a treasure may bring disaster to this farmer."

And so on and so forth, these are interesting things related to Your Majesty.

It seems that as long as Your Majesty is here, no matter what happens, it can be easily solved.

There was only one thing that made the soldiers feel a little regretful, that was His Majesty's appearance was hard to describe.

The ministers praised everything in their stories except your Majesty's appearance.

It seems that God is fair. He gives you brains but takes away your looks.

Although Her Majesty is ugly, it does not prevent everyone from admiring her.

When the soldiers heard about the battle of Liuli River, they felt their blood boiling, as if they were assisted by God.

The generals who are well versed in military tactics have a high level of admiration for Yao Chuguang.

Because they were knowledgeable, they could feel the gap between themselves and Yao Chuguang. Some generals even drew a marching route map based on the descriptions of their ministers.

When we have time, we gather in groups of three or five to perform deductions over and over again, and we can see something different every time.

When I put myself in the shoes of the Western Frontier Army, I found it even more despairing.

Then he began to be thankful that he was a Qi person, or to be thankful for Commander Fu's foresight and decisiveness in joining the empress.

When they thought about the fact that His Majesty was still at the border fighting against the barbarians, everyone felt more at ease.

Fu Hongxuan handled government affairs in the military tent until late at night. The Western Border Army had recently launched a fierce counterattack. Fortunately, there was Lord Xiao leading the ministers to stabilize the rear.

This way, Fu Hongxuan wouldn't have to be busy on both ends.

For the first time, I felt that being a military supervisor was really beneficial and I could rest assured and leave the responsibility to others.

You can devote yourself wholeheartedly to the war on the front line without worrying about the emperor's suspicion.

After this battle, Fu Hongxuan felt unprecedented joy.

In the past, people were somewhat hesitant to go to war, fearing that if the battle lasted too long or the route was changed temporarily, there would be a series of problems and obstacles later.

But now there is no such thing at all. Now we can just point and hit wherever we want without any worries.

As time went on, Zhou Ze was killed on his horse and the Western Border Army was defeated!

In the second year of Zhaohua, the Western Zhou Dynasty perished!

Seeing Fu Hongxuan, who had been silent for many days and now showed a rare look of relief, Yan Mingzhe smiled and congratulated him, "The rest is just some finishing touches. Now that the situation is settled, you can sleep peacefully."

Fu Hongxuan didn't say anything but smiled and nodded.

Yan Mingzhe found that Fu Hongxuan seemed to have changed and became much more cheerful than before.

Yan Mingzhe joked, "If you had won such a brilliant victory in the past, you would have been happy, but you would also have worried that His Majesty would be suspicious of you."

Fu Hongxuan shook his head and said, "Master, I used to think that if a general was too outstanding, it would inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion."

"I've only just figured it out. So-called fear is just a precautionary measure for the emperor against anyone stronger than himself. If you're stronger than him, you must eliminate you before you grow up, otherwise he won't be able to hold on to his throne."

Yan Mingzhe said noncommittally, "That's correct."

Fu Hongxuan continued, "Now I don't need to worry about this problem anymore."

Yan Mingzhe was deeply touched. With His Majesty around, who could overshadow her brilliance?

Now the most pressing problem they have to face is that they are afraid that they are not strong enough and will hold His Majesty back.

Yan Mingzhe and Lord Xiao felt that they had met too late these days. They often talked late into the night and became close friends.

Yan Mingzhe and Lord Xiao could talk about anything, but Lord Xiao always kept his mouth shut and was unwilling to say much when it came to His Majesty.

Yan Mingzhe once asked Lord Xiao, what kind of person is His Majesty?

After a long pause, Xiao Ge Lao slowly spoke, "He's a person you hate, but you can't hate him."

Such an answer was completely beyond Yan Mingzhe's expectations. Yan Mingzhe had thought that Lord Xiao would praise, admire, be complicated, or even criticize him, but he had never expected such an answer.

What made Yan Mingzhe feel even more strange was that after he expressed his idea of becoming an official in the court.

Elder Xiao's expression was a little indescribable.

Lord Xiao did not feel the joy of having like-minded friends become his colleagues.

He did not say anything to stop it, as the treacherous officialdom was not suitable for him.

Instead, he asked without thinking: "Can you bear it?"

Yan Mingzhe was completely confused by the question. Did he want to know whether he could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world and be willing to die for it?

Yan Mingzhe expressed his doubts truthfully, but Lord Xiao just looked at him with an expression that could only be understood but not expressed in words.

Yan Mingzhe thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the key to this, so he finally decided to ask Fu Hongxuan.

After hearing the whole story, Fu Hongxuan immediately understood what Lord Xiao meant.

Thinking about how Yao Chuguang and An Tian designed Xiao Ge Lao to take the blame.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what he knows, there must be something he doesn't know.

Elder Xiao didn't know how many times he had been cheated by Yao Chuguang.

Yao Chuguang was right, Elder Xiao was a thousand-year-old fox.

This was done deliberately to arouse the master's curiosity, hoping that the master would become an official in the court and then severely break the master's unrealistic fantasy about Yao Chuguang.

Fu Hongxuan smiled helplessly and comforted him: "Master, if you want to know, you have to try it yourself to know what Mr. Xiao's intention is."

Yan Mingzhe thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

Fu Hongxuan changed the subject and said, "Master wants to serve as an official in the court. In the past, I would have recommended you for the position. But now, His Majesty has issued an order that anyone who wants to serve as an official must pass the imperial examination. It's not easy for me..."

Yan Mingzhe raised his hand to interrupt Fu Hongxuan and said, "Even if you want to recommend me, I don't agree. Your Majesty established the imperial examination to benefit students all over the world. Only those with ability can succeed. If I can't even pass this imperial examination, how can I convince others?"

Fu Hongxuan: "It's my disciple who is meddling in other people's affairs."

Yan Mingzhe stroked his beard and nodded. If he relied on his apprentice to get an official position through backdoors, would he still have the face to do that?
