Chapter 692 The Empress Teaches Yu Ziling and Shen Changgong
After everyone left, Yu Ziling quickly came to Yan Fuyao's side and said a little stiffly,
"Your Majesty, I really don't dislike you."
"Humph!"
Yan Fuyao turned around, snorted coldly, and said,
"Then do you know how serious the consequences of arousing the emperor's suspicion are in the court?"
"Um... they'll be fabricated with a crime, demoted and exiled, or thrown into prison, or beheaded and have their property confiscated."
"So, what should you do?"
"I should...show my loyalty."
"How do you show loyalty?"
"Hmm... swear to protect His Majesty until death?"
Yan Fuyao snorted coldly.
"I already have my suspicions about you. Can I still trust you to stay by my side and protect me?"
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no second thoughts. Your Majesty, please understand!"
"Okay, okay, sit down and take good care of the baby. Don't disturb the fetus.
As for you, just stay in this city and protect me well. Only then can I see your loyalty and reward your legion.
There are not many opportunities to show up in front of the emperor. The soldiers under your command will also be proud to be able to protect the emperor. This represents my trust in them.
They won't have any ideas. As for you, you are a soldier, and a soldier's duty is to obey orders.
At home, it’s okay for you to show off your temper with Changgong.
However, when discussing military affairs, everything is subject to the commander-in-chief's orders.
You are also a commander, and you should know that in the legion, someone has to do everything.
If one thing doesn't want to be done, how can we fight the war? How can we lead the people?
Just like the Shenfeng Army, their mission is to die. If half of them die, then if they don't want to do it, will they just not do it?"
Yu Ziling's cheeks flushed, she lowered her head in shame and whispered,
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I know I was wrong."
"So, what should I do if you act like a spoiled brat in a meeting again?"
"Your Majesty, please do whatever you want. Beating, salary deduction, imprisonment, or beheading are all acceptable."
"Well, it's good to know, let's go down."
"According to the order!"
Yu Ziling saluted and then walked out quickly.
Shen Changgong looked at Yan Fuyao and said with a smile,
"Of course you can. Just a few words and you'll have her completely tamed. Your Majesty's skill in controlling people with both kindness and power is truly remarkable."
"Really? After I've dealt with her, it's time for me to deal with you too."
Yan Fuyao looked at Shen Changgong with disdain and coldness and said,
"Shouldn't you reflect on your own problems? She dares to do this, isn't it because you spoiled her?
At home, she is your woman, and in the army, she is your subordinate, and she must follow any of your orders. If you dote on a woman like this and fail to distinguish between public and private matters, how can you lead the army?"
When the first wife gets angry, her aura is fully released and her imperial dominance is undoubtedly revealed.
Shen Changgong hurriedly coaxed,
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is right. Please punish me."
"Stop being so playful. I just told you that you can't distinguish between public and private matters. Is that how you talk to the emperor?"
"Okay, okay, your Majesty is right. Anger is harmful to the body. Let's go back and deal with the documents and cool down."
Shen Changgong took Yan Fuyao's hand and said,
"Come, Your Majesty, go slowly. I will help you walk."
"Do I need your help?"
"What about carrying it on your back? Just hold it in your arms. It's more comfortable."
"Go away, you evil minister!"
Yan Fuyao gave him a glare, then quickly walked towards the back hall, saying as he walked,
"Go check on those civil servants this afternoon and have them treat the wounded. After they're done, have them come to see me. I want to assess them."
"Okay, I have to go to the military camp this afternoon anyway, so I'll take a look then."
"These civil servants will be the backbone of our country in the future. We must train and educate them well so that they only know the hardships and preciousness of life.
Only then can the country be stable.
The imperial court is the root of the tree, local officials are the trunk and branches, and the people are the green leaves.
If the roots and trunks of trees rot, it will be a disaster for the leaves."
"Your Majesty said so."
When they reached the door of the study, Yan Fuyao was surprised to see Shen Changgong still following her.
"If you're not busy with military affairs, why are you still following me?"
"Who followed you? I'm here to find someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Looking for my Xiao Tang."
Hearing this, Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes.
This guy is really never idle when he has some free time.
"Xiao Tang can't, she has to help with official business."
"Then Xue'er..."
"Even Xue'er can't do that!"
"Then it's you."
Shen Changgong chuckled wickedly and pulled Yan Fuyao into his arms.
Yan Fuyao's face turned red, and she hit him hard several times. After being kissed several times by him, she was able to break free.
"Jiang Xueer, come out quickly!"
Yan Fuyao shouted as he walked into the study.
The lovely sister-in-law walked out with a confused look on her face, and then Yan Fuyao slammed the door shut.
"Huh? What happened?"
Jiang Ruoxue looked at Shen Changgong in confusion.
"It's okay, I just missed you. Let's go for a walk."
Jiang Ruoxue's pretty face turned slightly red. She walked over with her head lowered and took Shen Changgong's hand.
Looking at his sister-in-law's pretty face with white and rosy cheeks, Shen Changgong couldn't help but sigh that his sister-in-law was really the most gentle and pure woman in the world. She blushed so easily no matter what time it was.
Afterwards, Prince Shen took his beautiful sister-in-law to the backyard. As for what they did, no one knows.
……
Several houses in the city are the resting places for civil servants. These civil servants, who have been tired all night, sleep here until noon. They only wake up slowly when the fireman comes and beats the gong, calling them to eat.
Sleeping for a whole morning did not drive away their fatigue. Instead, they felt even more tired. It was not until they had a meal in the barracks that they regained some energy.
General Zheng came to them again and said to them,
"My lords, please follow me."
Everyone followed.
Wu Bi asked,
"General Zheng, which legion are we heading to?"
"Ah, let's go to the Southern Expedition Army. In yesterday's battle, the Southern Expedition Army suffered the greatest losses, almost half of their men were gone, and countless were wounded.
The casualties over there are almost equal to the total of the other legions. They are short of manpower, and you can help there.
Come on, follow me to the storeroom to get some gauze and medicine."
More than 200 people followed General Zheng to the warehouse to get medicine. They carried the medicine on their shoulders and in their hands and rushed to the Southern Expedition Army.
On the Southern Expedition Army side, there were many empty tents because too many people had really forgotten about them.
These tents also became places to treat the wounded.
As soon as they entered the military camp, they heard wailing and screaming one after another.
General Zheng called over a hurried military doctor and said,
"Well, His Majesty has assigned the people you have sent to you. Please assign them to help."
The military doctor was obviously so busy that he was slapping his feet and said impatiently,
"Please form a group of five and go to the tents to help. We are shorthanded right now. Just go in and say you are here to help."
