The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Several people sat at the table. The space originally used for drinks was cleared out and filled with two drawings.

"There's no place to put this wine."

"If not, put it on the chair beside you."

Seeing the serious expressions of His Highness and Sister Jiang, they no longer dared to hold the wine pot and drink happily. After packing up their things, they sat around and stared at the contents of the drawings for a while.

During this time, no one spoke and everyone was concentrating.

"I wonder which country Your Highness intends to attack?"

His Majesty has told Jiang Jiaoyun that Your Highness will lead the army westward, but the environment in the Western Regions is harsh after all. Even if it is conquered, management will be a hassle.

Jiang Jiaoyun didn't think that His Majesty would allow the Princess to lead hundreds of thousands of troops westward to flatten the Western Regions and incorporate such a harsh environment and poisonous places into the territory of Daxia.

It is easy to attack a city, but difficult to defend it.

If they want to defend the city after taking it, the army may still send Duke Dingguo to go.

This move will cost a lot of money and effort and will not make any profit.

"These two places are not big countries, but their geographical locations are easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Minglang shared without hesitation the tactics that the old Duke had discussed with her, and tried out what they had learned in Qingyu Pavilion.

"That's a good plan. When His Highness leads his army to attack from the main gate, I can lead my men to attack from the side. This small country has a unique location. It's not adjacent to other countries, but it has this mountain at its back. Otherwise, it would be easier to attack."

The few of them chatted until midnight. After the drinks and snacks were served, they drank while planning how to fight the battle.

No one had ever been to a battlefield, so the plan this time was extremely cautious. It was not until the sky turned slightly white and the visibility in the room became brighter that Minglang realized that time had passed so quickly.

Looking at the room again, the map was filled with everyone's handwritten tactics and plans, and there were quite a few scattered on the ground. These were the tactical manuscripts that were rejected by each other after they were finished.

Before the battle even started, they had already thought of seven or eight ways to attack.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's just stay here for now. You guys can get some sleep first. I'll pick you up for breakfast after the morning court."

Now they have used all the skills they have learned over the years and have made all possible preparations. The rest will depend on when they arrive in the Western Regions and make adjustments based on the local terrain and the strength of the two countries.

"Everything is ready now, except for the east wind. This east wind is hard to come by, so you should go to bed early."

"Yes, let us clean up here. Your Highness, please go back and change your clothes."

His Highness just conferred the title of Crown Princess yesterday, so I must attend the morning court today.

When they lived in the palace in the past, they almost always had breakfast with the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace. They were away for a year and seldom came back. Jiang Jiaoyun could imagine how many delicious foods were prepared in the small kitchen of the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother must be waiting for them.

"Your Highness, please go directly to the Cining Palace after the morning court session. We will be there with the Empress Dowager waiting for Your Highness."

Minglang nodded when she heard that, then turned and left the room. She still smelled of alcohol, but she couldn't get rid of the smell after changing her clothes.

"I want to take a shower."

Minglang gave an order to the palace servant following behind him and entered the house. Soon, a palace servant came to report that the hot water was ready.

After changing into clothes soaked in the aroma of wine and soaking in warm water, Minglang felt completely relaxed.

I just stayed up all night, so I can’t take a bath for too long, otherwise I’ll feel dizzy.

The water was still hot, so Minglang got up, changed into court clothes, leaned back in a chair and dozed for a while, waiting for the palace servants to wake her up and go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, almost all the ministers had arrived. When they saw her appear, they immediately bowed and saluted:

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness, may Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Minglang raised his hand: "Everyone, please stand up."

Today is the first day that Minglang attends court after being canonized as the Crown Princess, but it is no different from the previous days.

The Queen Mother had been bringing her to court very early on to handle state affairs, and the ministers had long been familiar with her. Conferring the title of Crown Princess was just a formality, telling the world that she was the heir designated by the Queen Mother, and there was no other difference.

When Liang Chongyue returned to the Yangxin Palace last night, she received a message from the system saying that Minglang had not slept. When she opened her eyes this morning, she saw the message left by the system on the panel in the middle of the night.

She hadn't even decided on the day for them to go to war, but these kids were staying up all night studying tactics. If the day for the war was set, these kids would stay up for several nights in a row.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

The sound of the peaceful chanting began, and everyone quickly returned to their seats, stood up, and knelt down towards the dragon throne at the top: "Your Majesty, we pay our respects. Long live Your Majesty."

Liang Chongyue sat down and looked at Minglang.

"Everyone, get up."

When Minglang stood up, there was a faint bruise under his eyes, but he seemed to be in good spirits when he smiled at her.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Liang Chongyue didn't say anything to Minglang, but just glanced at him. Minglang should understand what she meant.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

While the mother and daughter were looking at each other, a person walked out from the formation.

"I would like to report Princess Duanning and her husband for allowing their son to rape a common woman and indiscriminately kill innocent people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into silence. Fei He had kidnapped someone directly from Wangjiang Tower that day. It was estimated that the ministers in the court had received the news the next day that Fei He was investigating Duan Ning.

"Is there any evidence?"

However, Liang Chongyue didn't expect that before she could convict Duan Ning's disappointing son, someone was already eager to bring her down.

It seems that what she did was no longer a secret, but Duan Ning hid it well, so it never came to her attention.

"I have evidence. My niece back home was taken in by Princess Duanning's son. She refused and was nearly killed by him. She finally escaped at the risk of her life. Your Majesty, please help my poor niece and the other women who were harmed by Princess Duanning's son."

Liang Chongyue's face became solemn after hearing this. Ping An took his evidence and Liang Chongyue opened it and looked through it.

There was also a portrait of the woman inside. There was a scar running from behind the ear to the heart. Just looking at the portrait was horrifying enough. Fortunately, the woman could now live independently, otherwise she would not want to live even if she escaped.

After Liang Chongyue finished reading all the evidence, he put it away and asked Ping An to pass it to Minglang.

"I understand. Once the matter is investigated, if it is true, I will make the decision for you."

Most of the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony have followed His Majesty since he ascended the throne. Although they are not very familiar with His Majesty's methods, they are also frightened by what they hear.

I think Princess Duanning's entire family is in trouble. I wonder if His Majesty would be kind enough to leave her body intact if this is true.
