"So, it's not true..."

Fei Wan was stunned for a moment and sighed.

He didn't hide his disappointment at all.

The emperor's gaze narrowed. "You really want the Li family army to rebuild? Did the common people and soldiers you met on your way into the city also think so?"

Fei Wan closed her eyes, endured the dizziness for a while, and then opened her eyes weakly again.

The pause in between was because she was indeed feeling dizzy and uncomfortable, but she also didn't want to answer immediately and let the other party control the progress of the conversation.

"Your Majesty, I admire Concubine Hui very much, just like the people in the capital. I hope the Li family army will be rebuilt. That way, if the enemy attacks again in the future, I won't have to be afraid. But..."

She looked sensible. "I also know that building an army is not easy and will cost a lot of money. The capital still needs money for many things after the war, so it doesn't matter whether the Li Army is rebuilt or not. The people should be grateful that they are still alive after the war. Even if there are some disappointments, they won't take it to heart. Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about whether everyone is disappointed. As long as you take care of yourself, there will be no difficulties that Daliang cannot overcome."

The emperor was touched.

The reason why Li’s army could not rebuild was naturally not because of a shortage of money.

It's rare that Concubine Zhao always considers him.

She clearly had expectations of her own, but she still had to comfort him.

The candlelight flickered in the hall.

Feiwan's face was delicate and haggard.

The emperor, who hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, was extremely tired. Fei Wan's gentleness and consideration suddenly made him feel a little relieved.

"Your Majesty, would you please lie down with me for a while?"

At Fei Wan's appropriate invitation, the emperor got into bed with his clothes on and lay down beside her.

Fei Wan reached out and grabbed his.

The two of them lay quietly, and before they knew it, the emperor fell asleep.

He fell asleep naturally and quickly, and before he even realized it, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Fei Wan, however, was clear-headed.

I silently went over the events of the past few days, as well as those from earlier times, in my mind, checking every detail, looking for every loophole, and thinking of countermeasures.

When the emperor woke up before dawn, she began to push for the first thing she wanted to do.

"Your Majesty, are you awake? I'll pour you some water."

She tried to get up from the ground, but was held down by the emperor.

"You are weak, lie down and rest." After a moment's silence, the emperor suddenly spoke, "I have thought about it, and perhaps we can consider the reconstruction of the Li family army."

"Really?" Fei Wan's joy was beyond words.

Half of it is pretending, and the other half is really happy.

She didn't expect the emperor to bring up this matter on his own initiative, which saved her the trouble of bringing up the subject.

"Your Majesty, are you going to appoint Concubine Hui as a general and have her rebuild the Li Clan Army?" Fei Wan, feeling dizzy, sat up and looked at the man beside her pillow with a bright gaze. "If Concubine Hui really becomes a general, we sisters in the palace will be blessed. We won't have to worry about the enemy invading! Concubine Hui will definitely protect us, and she will also loyally protect Your Majesty!"

The emperor was stunned.

I laughed and thought Fei Wan's idea was naive, but I was also moved.

Concubine Hui commanded the troops...

He had never thought about this.

It is ridiculous for a woman to be a general, and she is a palace concubine, how is it possible!

Can……

Because she is a concubine...

This army was actually in his hands.

Concubine Hui's soldiers are his soldiers.

Given Concubine Hui's straightforward temper, the soldiers she led were probably more loyal to the emperor than the most loyal imperial guards.

"Why does Wanwan want Concubine Hui to rebuild the Li Clan Army?"

Fei Wan was puzzled. "Could it be that... I was wrong again, and His Majesty doesn't favor Concubine Hui? Forgive my words..."

"Just tell me, why did you let Concubine Hui do this?"

"... Concubine Hui is the only descendant of the Li family. If someone else comes to build it, it won't be called the Li Family Army." Fei Wan looked confused.

The emperor's thoughts lasted only a moment.

A decision was made.

Wen Yan said: "You are absolutely right."

Fei Wan pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

She didn't need to give too many reasons. As long as she gave the emperor this proposal, he would naturally find the benefits of doing so.

After all, what he loves most is being in power.

The rekindled spirit of the Li family army propelled the battlefield situation forward, but it also disturbed the emperor's heart. How to judge the Li family army after the war and how to reward the soldiers who followed the Li family general's banner were difficult for him.

To elevate the Li family too much would only reveal the imperial family's darkness and incompetence. To ignore it would lose the support of the people and be criticized by the upright.

Fei Wan had anticipated that he would change his mind after waking up from his sleep, having initially opposed rebuilding the Li Family Army. She deliberately emphasized the desires of the entire city's military and civilian population, hoping to make the emperor worry that the military and civilian officials would be disappointed in him, and thus temporarily agree to the reconstruction.

But he will definitely arrange people he absolutely trusts to rebuild it.

By then, the new Li family army may no longer have any connection with the Li family, and will no longer be able to display the Li family's spirit of loyalty, bravery and bravery.

What is the purpose of such an army?

So she wanted to bring up Concubine Hui!

Directly letting Concubine Hui carry out the reconstruction can not only ensure that the Li family tradition is upheld and a strong and iron-blooded army is built, but also allow the emperor to let down his guard and let it develop with confidence.

After all, he always thought that all the concubines were under his protection and control!

……

Because his health had improved that day, Fei Wan left Chenqian Palace and returned to Chunxi Palace.

Like other palaces, Chunxi Palace was attacked by the Tartars and many valuable ornaments were lost.

But Fei Wan has always been very careful with money. In the warehouse converted from a side hall, valuables are packed in large boxes made of special thick iron plates, and the locks are extremely strong and cannot be opened by ordinary swords.

Xiangyi and others who were in charge of the keys followed Wu Xiangrong and Concubine Qing to hide in Fengyi Palace.

Therefore, not only the property was safe, but Xiangyi and others were also safe.

Compared with the serious losses suffered by other concubines, Fei Wan's situation is very good.

The palace was in chaos, and the group of palace maids who were imprisoned in the Palace Administration Office were naturally released and returned to Chunxi Palace.

Everyone was busy cleaning up the palace, and for a moment, Chunxi Palace became a little lively.

Feiwan stayed in bed to recuperate.

To her surprise, she received the news in the evening.

The emperor officially issued an edict to commend the loyal souls of the Li family. The Li family's ancestral home was doubled in size and the Li Gong Temple was built as a place for the people to pray and burn incense.

Another decree appointed Concubine Hui as a second-rank loyal general, responsible for rebuilding the Li family army. All brave men in and around the capital were welcome to sign up.

"I didn't expect that Concubine Hui would get this appointment. I'm so envious!"

Not long after the news came out, Concubine Yue came to Chunxi Palace.

Her injuries from the torture had not yet healed fully. She was helped into the house and couldn't help crying when she saw Fei Wan had new injuries.

"After experiencing this catastrophe, I realized that in life, nothing matters. The only thing that matters is that you can enjoy yourself while you are alive and have a few close sisters. That's what's truly important!"

She stepped forward and held Fei Wan's hand.

She said sincerely, "This time, I will not submit to anyone else but Concubine Hui, and I will also submit to you."

Fei Wan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Concubine Yue knew something?

He quickly asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's fine if you obey Concubine Hui, but why should you obey me?"
