This was something the father and daughter had agreed upon with Luo Wanyin before they left. Of course, in addition to Luo Wanyin, Cheng Ying also informed her maternal grandmother and maternal grandfather that she was safe.

Lin Zeyang also did not forget his parents, brothers, and three sons in his hometown of Yunzhou.

Considering that it was still early, a delayed sending was set. Since they all had their own groups, he simply sent a group message first.

After getting everything done, I washed up and planned to rest for a while.

Although the journey wasn't very long, sitting for so long was still quite tiring.

Inside the solemn and majestic Changyue Hall, a row of ministers stood on each side. The emperor wore a black and red dragon robe with gold trim on the cuffs and collar, and it was also embroidered with exquisite and intricate auspicious patterns.

Symbolizing the emperor's supreme authority, Ye Shengtang sat on the dragon throne on the high platform, listening to the reports from the ministers below and the matters submitted from various places.

"Your Majesty, the northern border is frequently harassed by neighboring countries, and the Imperial Preceptor Moyu has been on a mission to the northern border for several months."

"No news has come so far. I humbly request Your Majesty to consider whether it is necessary to send someone to investigate further."

The emperor at the head of the table and the ministers standing on either side below couldn't help but show expressions of worry.

At this moment, the Duke of Anguo, who was standing in the middle, suddenly thought of the northern border. Wasn't it not far from Suzhou, where Prince Gong was stationed?

Now that they have discovered that Prince Gong harbors rebellious intentions, is this incident in the northern border related to Prince Gong and his group?

He returned in such a hurry that he hadn't told the Emperor about this yet, but he couldn't remind the Emperor in the main hall right now, because there must be Prince Gong's henchmen in the court!

It seems that after court, I must inform the Emperor immediately so that he can make the right judgment.

He will observe the situation first, and if there are any major changes or decisions, he will try to stop them!

With that in mind, he listened even more carefully to the subsequent developments of the matter.

Just then, another official said, "Your Majesty, I also believe that we should prepare for the war as soon as possible, and make preparations for the follow-up matters of the war with neighboring countries, so as to prevent being unable to support the Grand Preceptor of Moyu in time!"

When the Emperor heard officials mention this matter again, he indeed had to take it seriously. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"After the court session, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War should discuss and prepare for the upcoming troop deployment. I need to prepare all manpower and resources within a certain timeframe, ready to support the northern border at any time."

"Prime Minister Li and the Grand Council will handle this matter together!"

After the Emperor finished giving his instructions, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of War, and the Prime Minister Li, whose names were called, and the Grand Councilors immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands in salute, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After this matter was settled, another minister said:

"Your Majesty, I have received an urgent letter from the magistrate of Xingyao County in Lanzhou, in the south. There has been a recent flood there. Although it has been brought under control, some manpower and material support are still needed."

"Your Majesty, please make a decision. This matter is extremely urgent. We urge Your Majesty to issue an order for support as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor realized that it was indeed necessary to provide support to them as soon as possible, otherwise a popular uprising would occur, which would be disastrous.

"Is there anyone willing to go and bring people and supplies to support Lanzhou?"

After Ye Shengtang finished asking his question, the ministers below began to whisper and discuss among themselves. Finally, the Duke of Anguo volunteered, saying, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the men there."

Ye Shengtang hesitated for a moment and asked, "The Duke of Anguo has just returned. Should we send someone else to handle this matter first?"

Duke Anguo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, all the other ministers are very busy lately, only I am relatively free, so please let me go!"

Seeing that Duke Anguo was very insistent, Ye Shengtang nodded in agreement.

"Minister of Revenue, prepare supplies and personnel for Duke Anguo and send them to support this matter as soon as possible. There can be no delay."

"Yes!"

The Minister of Revenue hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty! Because priority must be given to supplying the soldiers who are to fight in the northern border, there are not many supplies that the Duke of Anguo can take to Lanzhou to provide support.”

"This is only because the weather has been good in the last two years, and we have harvested a lot of grain. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have enough supplies to transport to the northern border."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shengtang frowned and could only instruct, "Give as much as you can, and find a way to make up for the rest!"

"Yes!"

Ye Shengtang then thought of the upcoming provincial examination and asked his officials, "Minister of Personnel, you and the Grand Secretaries should make arrangements for next year's spring examination as soon as possible to ensure its smooth conduct!"

"Everything must be arranged perfectly for this year's autumn imperial examinations; there can be absolutely no mistakes!"

The Minister of Personnel and several Grand Secretaries bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will do our utmost to carefully select outstanding students."

Ye Shengtang nodded in satisfaction. After thinking for a moment and finding nothing else, he gave Eunuch Yuan a look, and Eunuch Yuan understood and stepped forward.

"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

After waiting for a while without any response, the morning assembly was considered over!

Seeing that no one else had anything to report, Ye Shengtang got up and walked out from the back.

The officials behind him immediately knelt down and shouted, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"
