The next day, Wu Yuqing and the other generals entered the palace early in the morning. Ji Xun asked Jixiang to read the imperial edict that Su Mianyue had planned.
Because the promotion of the rank of the people was not very big, there was no objection from the civil officials, but they also understood that these meritorious people would be the emperor's new favorite, at least before the country was settled, these generals were much more useful than these civil officials.
At night, the palace banquet was set up to celebrate the victory of the generals. The civil officials all showed respect for the generals, and there were many people who flattered them. Some even hinted that they wanted to give their daughters or sisters to them, which made many people's eyes turn white.
For three days in a row, the biggest topic in Capital City was to discuss how these generals were doing, and many people knew that they were just the owners of Juxian Restaurant and ran to the restaurant every day.
Especially those girls who were not yet out of the pavilion and had the guts to do so. They were all dressed up to avoid being seen. There were also many talented young men who were shaking their heads and chanting poems in the restaurant. Their purpose was to attract eighth's attention and make the restaurant's business explode day by day, because the restaurant was closed for twelve hours. But it tired the guys out.
But in fact, the three of them had been living in the side hall of the palace with Wu Yuqing and Ji Qin for the past few days. Every day when Ji Xun went down, he would discuss the war with them. They had at most five days to prepare and had to go to the army. Otherwise, the army of the Hengyuan would have been too late.
"The king of Yongan doesn't need to lead his troops this time." Su Mianyue suddenly opened her mouth, leaving everyone in a daze as to what she meant.
Su Mianyue smiled and said, "The king of Yongan has a more important mission. The foreign enemy can no longer cause internal strife. One king of qin nan is enough."
"What does Miss Su mean?" Ji Qin was stunned. He didn't understand the relationship between not leading the army to war and pacifying the civil strife, but his instinct told him that Su Mianyue's job was not good.
"The emperor has found a group of candidates for a new prince. These people will stabilize the land in their own way, but there are a few princes whose hearts are very unstable, and they have to ask the king of Yongan to appease them." Su Mianyue pointed out a few places on the map and said, "It only takes three years. Can the king of Yongan do it?"
Ji Qin smiled bitterly. Su Mianyue's words were the same as Ji Xun's decree. Could he say no? But this job is really hard to take.
"Does Miss Su have a plan?" Ji Qin asked.
"No." Su Mianyue shook his head honestly, "The heart is the hardest to control, so we can only watch the king of Yongan act according to circumstances, but I will set up a group of secret guards to protect the king of Yongan, and will not let the king of Yongan have life worries."
"Thank you, Miss Su." Ji Qin had to thank him, but he knew in his heart that these guards were watching over him as well. After all, he was also a prince, and a royal relative with prestige in the army. Fortunately, there was no fief, otherwise he would be listed as one of the key defenses.
Su Mianyue changed the subject, "The princess of the king of Yongan has passed away for a long time. It's time to establish a princess. Do you know if there is a suitable candidate for the king of Yongan?"
"Is that how Yue wants to be a matchmaker?" Ji Xun shook his head in amusement.
"Who asked me to be a matchmaker so many times that I never got one?" Su Mianyue helplessly spread out her hands, as if she was determined to make a marriage happen.
After a moment of teasing, the two of them turned their eyes to Ji Qin. Ji Qin had finished thinking and smiled, "As long as the princess is a virtuous and virtuous woman, Miss Su can recommend one or two if he has a suitable candidate. Only by leaving his heir can he do a good job for the emperor without any worry."
"Stop it." Su Mianyue reached out his hand and glared at Ji Qin, "Don't say it as if I'm going to force you to die. Although this job is not easy to handle, as long as you can do it well and beautifully, the emperor will definitely remember a great achievement from you. This is also a matter of benefit to his children. And you have been with the emperor for many years. You are the emperor's right-hand man in the court, and the emperor trusts the king of Yongan the most among his relatives. Otherwise, how can you invite the king of Yongan to discuss the matter of setting up defenses in the palace for many days? A loyal general like the king of Yongan, no king would be willing to let you die."
Ji Qin quickly got up and said, "It was a slip of the tongue. Although the emperor is at ease to hand this matter over to him, I promise I will not disappoint him."
Ji Xun raised his hand and gave him a weak support, "The king of Yongan will set off for the south tomorrow. After three months, no matter how things go, he will return to the capital to handle the wedding. The rest will be done later."
"Yes, I do."
Ji Qin's affairs were arranged, and Ji Qin was leaving the capital tomorrow. Ji Xun asked him to go back to the palace to prepare, and Ji Qin shane left.
"Does Yue have a candidate for princess Yongan in mind?" Ji Xun asked.
"What do you think of Wei Baojuan, the daughter of the right hand man?" Su Mianyue asked with a smile.
"I do not know the nature of the courtier's daughter, but the identity of the righthand wife's daughter seems to be a little high to marry the king of Yongan." Ji Xun frowned slightly.
"Now is the time to employ men. The king of Yongan is the prince you value, Yu. The right hand is now the head of all officials. For this reason, the marriage of the two is a great favor, but isn't it a warning?" Su Mianyue smiled and said, "Since ancient times, civil officials have been forbidden to marry the general, or else they would have committed a royal taboo. On the right, those who are deep in the city and know the importance of the situation will know how to keep their lives. But what I like the most is Wei Baojuan. She's a little smart but not too smart. She's easier to control, and she's the best candidate to be princess of Yongan."
"Aren't you afraid that she can't manage the affairs of the rear residence and make the royal family of Yongan restless, so that the king of Yongan can't work at ease in the previous dynasty?" She lightly tapped the tip of Su Mianyue's nose, and Ji Xun asked with doting eyes.
"As long as you don't force people in, who dares to make trouble with the real princess from the right family? Is it too long?" Su Mianyue snorted, "The legitimate daughter of a big family, especially the right Prime Minister's Mansion, has a lot of women. Even if Wei Baojuan is simple, she will not be simple. She can still deal with the affairs of the back house. Besides, the king of Yongan was made like that by the back house before. I guess no one forced a woman to give him. He is too lazy to take a concubine."
"I thought ah yue would order me not to have concubines with the king of Yongan," Ji Xun raised his eyebrows.
"I'm not interested in other people's family, as long as Yu doesn't have a concubine." Su Mianyue then turned around and swept the others, "Of course, you'd better not let me know if you want to take concubines in the future, especially if the women you take concubines dare to play tricks on me and I dare to kill them."
"I wish I could be one." Sann spoke slowly, but his eyes were on eighth, who was blushing.
"Ghosts like to be surrounded by a large group of women. I don't think my life is long." Wu quickly waved his hand, although he didn't even have a wife.
Wu Yuqing, on the other hand, frowned with worry in his eyes and asked, "Haven't you heard from Biwu yet?"
Su Mianyue's eyes darkened. Wu Yuqing was worried about his fiancee without any memories. How could she rest assured?
Seeing Su Mianyue's sad expression, Ji Xun raised his hand to hold her rouyi and whispered, "No news is good news. It must be useful for the other party to take the person away with great difficulty."
"I know." Su Mianyue nodded, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "We have decided who to lead the army. Brother yi, you can go out of the palace today to order some generals. I have ordered someone to deliver some of the food to the army first, and someone will send it to the army."
The group said a few more words before leaving the palace. Ji Xun returned to the imperial study to deal with the government affairs. Only Su Mianyue sat in the room in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
