The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Last year, in the cold winter, Xie Weizhou rushed to the border, braved the wind and snow, and rode at full speed, arriving at the base on the night of New Year's Eve.

He competed with the soldiers by the campfire and impressed them with his real skills.

He used his own money to buy food and wine and provide extra meals for the entire army.

Each man had a bowl of steaming dumplings and a bowl of meat, and ten of them gathered around a roasted lamb. He led the way, enthusiastically singing folk songs from the soldiers' hometowns, drinking heartily and eating large chunks of meat, winning the hearts of many people in a single evening.

After officially taking office, he led his personal soldiers to patrol the areas under his jurisdiction. In less than a month, he had figured out the actual situation within a thousand miles and became one with the officers and soldiers from various places.

By the second month, several deputy generals and commanders in the army who disliked him were also conquered by him one by one.

He is the first deputy general, and his immediate superior is the chief general.

The old man, who was in his fifties, was indifferent to worldly matters, had no interest in money or alcohol, was very rigid, and only believed in his own old methods, which made Xie Weizhou, who wanted to revitalize the entire army, feel troubled.

It was Fei Wan who secretly sent him a message to give him advice, telling him that the veteran was a henpecked husband.

Xie Weizhou was also very capable. A few days after receiving the news, he broke into the old general's house and asked the general's wife to adopt him as her godson.

Having suffered injustice at the hands of the commander-in-chief, he went to the general's wife and shed a few tears. That night, the general's wife roared like a lion at home, and she beat the general to a pulp in order to vent her anger on her godson.

Xie Weizhou used both coaxing and coercion to gradually implement a set of military reorganization methods.

When he wrote to Fei Wan, he was showing off that the army he had reorganized looked brand new and full of vitality.

"I'm not bragging, but if we send this team out now, we can easily defeat ten times as many enemies. Even the weakest soldier can crack the frozen ground three feet apart with a single thrust of their spear! ... Fighting alone is not enough, we can also deploy formations and set ambushes..."

He wrote letters entirely in colloquial language, which was not at all elegant. Readers would only laugh at his vulgarity.

But Feiwan watched with great interest.

Xie Weizhou seemed to appear before my eyes, his clothes fluttering and his brows beaming with joy.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his thoughts followed the letter back to the land where he had fought in his previous life.

She still remembered the names of rivers, valleys, villages, and woodlands, their detailed topography. The blood of enemies, or her own comrades, had once been spilled there, staining the dusky sky red.

Spreading out the paper and grinding the ink, Fei Wan wrote a reply letter to Xie Weizhou.

In just one month, the Shengshi Post Office had rapidly expanded to all parts of Daliang. Wherever there was an official post station, there was a Shengshi Post Office. Even where there was no post station, there was also a Shengshi Post Office.

Therefore, they can communicate with each other without any worries, enjoy the highest standard of internal confidential treatment, and have unimpeded communication all the way.

A warm breeze blew gently, and a few pink and white petals floated in from the half-open window and slowly fell on the desk.

The white hands hold the pen, and the fragrance of ink fills the air.

Xie Weizhou boasted about his effective military management, so Fei Wan sincerely praised him as a young talent with a promising future.

Xie Weizhou said that he had found out about the problems of General He, the commander of the Western Frontier. He was guilty of taking salaries without working, robbing people's property, killing innocent people to claim credit, and attacking dissidents... He did all these things.

Fei Wan told him that if he had confidence in his army, she could help him talk to the emperor about organizing a spring competition among the garrisons in the western and northern borders. If his army came out on top, he could easily convince the emperor to reform the other armies according to his methods.

Spring is in full swing in the capital, but it comes late at the border. By the time the letters are exchanged, the entire army is having a military competition just in time for the spring breeze to blow.

This was already part of Fei Wan's plan.

Daliang's army was full of loopholes and had weak combat effectiveness, but its annual military pay expenditure was astonishing.

If General He, who had made great contributions, was like this, what about other places?

Even if they found evidence to prove General He's weakness and brought him down, it would only be a temporary solution. If one General He falls, there will be ten more General Lis and General Wangs emerging, all still acting as parasites in the laxly supervised rice jar.

Therefore, we need to address both the symptoms and the root cause, find a way to eliminate the overlords in the army one by one, and at the same time promote a group of new generals who are willing to work, so that there is hope of completely renewing Daliang's armaments.

The only generals Fei Wan can trust now are Concubine Hui and Xie Weizhou, but it doesn’t matter.

You don't need too many capable people; a single spark can start a prairie fire.

If there are ten or a hundred incompetent people, they will be useless and will only be a burden.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. Please don't let me down! Otherwise, I'll send Jasmine to give you a beating and teach you a lesson."

The letter was sent.

Fei Wan looked into the northern sky.

The Emperor Star is dim, Mars is in the heart, and a few general stars are shining brightly.

……

"My lady, the weather is nice today. Why don't you go out for a walk and relax? You're always feeling tired staying in the house."

The grass is growing and the birds are singing, spring is in full swing.

A few days ago, there were strong winds and heavy rain, and I caught a cold late at night. Although my health is good and I have been feeling better over the past few days, I still feel weak all the time.

Linglong advised her to go out and relax.

"No, I don't want to move. I just want to lie down." Queen Yan refused.

"How about asking the imperial physician to come and take a look? Try a different prescription."

"No need. I've been taking medicine for ten days and my breath tastes bitter."

Queen Yan sat by the window for a while, ate two bowls of Tremella soup, then went back to bed and lay down, falling asleep unknowingly.

Feiwan came to visit.

The two men discussed seizing the Duke of Zhenguo's boat, and progress was rapid. Empress Yan openly fought with her family to seize the team leader, the boatmen, the treasurer, the accountant, and the interpreter. She wanted everything related to the fleet that the Yan family had.

The Duke of Zhenguo did not break up with her, but just said that it would be fine as long as she could convince those people to follow her.

The steward sent by Empress Yan to the outside was Fei Wan's man. He went everywhere to persuade people, and when he couldn't persuade them, he used secret tactics to force those people to surrender or resign.

We are currently settling accounts outside, and once they are done, I will take over completely.

It was a critical time, and Fei Wan often came to Fengming Palace.

I always see Queen Yan looking listless these days.

Today, it's the same again.

Linglong pulled Feiwan aside and whispered, "The Empress refused to call the imperial physician, but I think we should ask him to come and see her. Could you please ask the Imperial Concubine to persuade the Empress?"

Fei Wan smiled and asked, "Is it that the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is not suitable for the Empress's constitution? Or, if we change the imperial physician this time, perhaps the Empress will like it."

Linglong said, "Her Majesty is used to using Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Lin. Recently, Imperial Physician Lin has been out of the capital on business with several masters from the Imperial Hospital, so Imperial Physician Zhao has been prescribing medicine for her."

"Is that Doctor Zhao Peng?"

"That's right, madam."

"This is unfortunate." Fei Wan waved the butterfly-emblazoned folding fan in her hand. "I've heard that Imperial Physician Zhao is good at treating menstrual pain in women, and I sent someone to find him this morning, but he's on leave today. Even if I could persuade the Empress, I wouldn't be able to invite him."

"Then..." Linglong looked at the bedroom with a worried look on her face.

So she asked Fei Wan to call her usual imperial physician.

Zheng Miao arrived at Fengming Palace.

I slept soundly in the evening.

Fei Wan and Ling Long were by her side, and they asked Zheng Miao to take the pulse of the sleeping Queen Yan.

After a while.

Zheng Miao stood up with a serious expression.

"The Imperial Concubine, the Empress..."

"What happened to the Queen?" Linglong's heart sank when she saw Zheng Miao's expression.
