Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 444 Everyone is a bit shameless

Madam Ning shook her head. "I don't know. Hey, everyone is unhappy about this. We just endure it for Xiao Qi."

She had already made up her mind that after Xiaoqi finished the war, she would let the three of them live in her own mansion.

Everyone lives their own life in normal times, but when they visit each other during festivals, there will be fewer conflicts and a degree of decency can be maintained.

Ning Zhiwei rubbed his brows and asked, "Have you met Xinzhe?"

"I have met him." Madam Ning's eyes lit up when she mentioned her grandson. "This child has become calm and composed. He seems to have grown up all of a sudden. The emperor's decision to take him out for training was the right one."

Before, he was just a child, but now, he has become a responsible little adult.

Ning Zhiwei gently instructed, "Send the other children to the palace to go to school. The Royal School will soon open. You will also live in the palace to take care of the children."

Madam Ning was very excited, and her first reaction was that she could get rid of Xiaoqi's wife.

But, I soon came to my senses.

"I am worried about my family. My eldest daughter-in-law is kind and decent, and she is very caring. Let her come and take care of the children's food and daily life."

Without anyone to calm down the family, no one can control Xiaoqi's wife. She can't let a fire break out in the backyard or let Xiaoqi be distracted on the battlefield.

Ning Zhiwei nodded. Since she didn't want to, she couldn't be forced.

She looked at the palace servants and ordered, "Notify all officials to attend the morning court tomorrow at noon."

This is an announcement that the king of the Yong Dynasty is back!

"We will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow night. Officials above the fourth rank will attend with their families, and officials below the fourth rank will receive a gift."

As soon as she comes back, the normal governing process will begin and the entire system will function normally.

"Yes."

Looking at the woman who was full of energy, Rong Jing couldn't help but chuckle, "The palace has become different since you came back. It's popular and full of vitality. It's great."

He has been living here, but to him it is just a place to sleep and work, not a home.

Empty, lonely and desolate.

Her return injected vitality into the entire palace.

At her command, all officials moved and prepared to attend court.

The officials' wives were eager to rummage through boxes and drawers, buying clothes and jewelry, and preparing for the palace banquet with great interest.

Early in the morning, all the officials came out of their homes and gathered in the palace one after another.

People gathered in twos and threes to exchange information.

Ning Wenyin and Shengxia were surrounded by a group of female officials. They were the leaders of the female officials and the core of this small group.

The number of female officials was small, and they were excluded by those stubborn court officials, which actually inspired their fighting spirit and made them more united.

Ning Wenyin looked at the quietest woman in the crowd, Cui Yanxi, the Lady of Tiaohua Township.

"Yanxi, your eyes are a little swollen, what's wrong?"

Cui Yanxi touched her eyes and smiled embarrassedly, "I was checking an account last night and didn't sleep well."

She is now an official in the Ministry of Revenue. She has outstanding performance and a calm personality, and has won the trust of Ning Wenyin.

"Don't be in a hurry, your health is important."

Cui Yanxi smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Shangshu."

The time for the morning court session had arrived, and everyone walked into the Golden Palace and stood in line according to their rank.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Ning Zhiwei, wearing a dragon robe, walked out with a calm look on his face. He walked up the stairs step by step, walked to the throne and sat down.

The demeanor of a king who dominates the world, domineering, calm and composed.

Everyone knelt down in unison and saluted, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Ning Zhiwei waved his hand slightly, "Stand up."

Seeing her sitting in a high position, all the civil and military officials felt at ease and their restless thoughts settled.

She returned safely, without any injuries or illness, and will continue to lead everyone to create a peaceful and prosperous world.

Who doesn’t want to go down in history?

Civil and military officials stood up one by one and said, "Congratulations to the emperor for finally achieving his hegemony. He has incorporated the southeast, southwest, northwest and other areas into the territory of Yong State. He has also expanded his territory, conquered the cities of Jin State, and incorporated large tracts of Jin State's land into our dynasty."

"Today, the empire's territory has surpassed that of the previous dynasty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"This is an unprecedented and miraculous achievement, unprecedented and unparalleled, it will live forever and be recorded in history, and it is cause for celebration."

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I have seen and remembered all the contributions you have made in the rear. Once the battle in the northeast is over, I will reward you all."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone was getting impatient.

Suddenly, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the battle line in the Northeast has been pushed forward step by step and has already reached the border. Isn't it time for the Northeast Army to return to the court?"

We have been fighting for too long. We cannot continue to waste resources like this. War is too expensive.

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "Gao Li is too close to the Northeast and often harasses our border. This time he openly helped the rebels invade our country. He is so bold. I intend to push the battle line over there."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Was this an attempt to redraw the border? Or was it an attempt to completely conquer Gaoli Country?

The Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the war on three fronts in the past few years has consumed a lot of resources. The treasury is empty and the people are living in a difficult situation. We cannot waste manpower and material resources any more. Please order a ceasefire and the Northeast Army to return to the court."

Ning Zhiwei said confidently, "Our treasury is empty, but other people's treasuries are too full and can't hold any more. Let's do a good deed and help them empty it."

Everyone's mouth twitched. It sounded nice, but in fact it was a war to annihilate a country. We would attack the other country's capital and seize its treasury. But was this really a good idea?

Rong Jing was the first to stand up and express his support. "I think it's feasible. We can use war to support war. Besides, Gaoli is located in a bitter cold place with a shortage of supplies. They have always been eyeing the Central Plains. Once the Central Plains is weak, they will send troops south. For the peace of future generations, we should completely solve this hidden danger."

No matter what, I support Ning Zhiwei's decision.

"Now is the best time to press on and seize the opportunity. Opportunities are rare and will never come back again."

The Minister of Personnel frowned, "But, that broken place is useless. Even if we take it down, we will have to spend a lot of energy to govern it. It's not cost-effective."

Ning Zhiwei's lips curled up slightly, "What if there are rich silver and gold mines underground?"

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone was very excited. "What? Is this true?"

Ning Zhiwei said firmly, "Really."

That's what Lin Jingshu said. Crops cannot be grown in barren land, so most of the time there are mines underground.

The officials looked at each other and immediately became excited, "Your Majesty, the people of Gaoli are living in dire straits and they urgently need us to save them."

"I second your opinion. That should belong to our Yong country's land and its people."

"I request to go to war and lead an army to rescue those suffering people overnight."

Some junior officials who had just entered the officialdom were stunned. Listen to what you are saying?

Are our rulers and ministers so shameless? Where is the gentle and refined demeanor of a great country? Where is everyone's courtesy, righteousness, integrity and honor?

It’s broken!
