Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 596.1: The Empress Governs the Country V

The Empress Governs the Country V (1)

This was completely just once again dropping a bomb on the court officials without warning, having the court officials blown up into a complete mess.

At this time, no one will have anymore misgivings, earnestly urging.

For better or worse, they were considering for his safety. Li Hong Yuan won’t go as far as to unreasonably sort out the court officials because of this bit, but he still felt pretty annoyed, simply not meeting with them, once again having the matter thrown to Jing Wan. This time, the one getting pestered just became Jing Wan.

———Your Highness, you must urge his Majesty. The battlefield isn’t a playground. Although with his Majesty personally overseeing, it can boost the morale, but the enemy country’s forces will also be even stronger. If something were to happen to his Majesty, the blow to the morale will be very disastrous. When time comes, Southern Qi naturally will take the opportunity to press forward. Qi Yuan might even be endangered.

Although unpleasant to hear, there was indeed this possibility.

Speaking of which, for the sake of keeping Li Hong Yuan, they didn’t hesitate to boost others’ abilities and drown out one’s own might.

Because knowing that there was no way to change her husband’s determination, when hearing such ominous words, Jing Wan naturally was unhappy. However, she didn’t get angry, “The ministers meaning, this empress is also aware, but his Majesty’s temper, you all are also clear. When truly making up his mind, no matter who persuades, it’ll all be useless. Prior to issuing the decree, this empress had already discussed with him. If useful, then the imperial decree wouldn’t have passed down either.”

Of course, if Jing Wan really wants to forcibly keep him, then it wasn’t impossible, but Jing Wan was very clear, if someone has a knot in the heart yet unable to resolve, then it was actually a very dangerous thing, especially for someone like her husband, who actually has psychological problems. And if it continues on like this, it absolutely won’t be a good thing. No one knows what kind of outcome it will bring about. That’s why, even if worried, she still won’t stop him. To accompany someone for life, often times, what’s needed is support, even if a very dangerous matter.

That’s why, these last few days, Jing Wan has actually been continuously suppressing her worries, not letting him discover.

“Rather than saying this now, it’s better to properly prepare. While the front is engaging in battle, the rear cannot have the slightest mistake. During the Retired Emperor’s reign, in the northwest’s battle, the food supply suddenly getting cut in the middle, exactly what happened, presumably you all more or less have an understanding inside. In the war with Southern Qi, if something similar were to happen, this empress won’t have the patience to investigate either. All related personnels will be executed up to the ninth relation.” Jing Wan was firm and imposing, the chilliness threatening.

Since it was already said as such, there certainly was no room to change the situation. That’s why, it was better to have the matters properly arranged. If it really ends up being where the front is fine, yet there’s a problem in the rear, then they all can just die to apologize for the offense. “We all will solemnly abide by your Highness’s command.”

As such, the preparations very urgently began, everyone busily running about, must have everything taken care of.

Regarding the matter of Li Hong Yuan personally leading the troops, the people sooner or later will all know. That’s why, there wasn’t the so-called silencing order, but prior to him leaving the capital, there won’t be anyone deliberately announcing it. Additionally, the other countries’ spies in the capital have all gotten cleaned out by Li Hong Yuan. As such, Southern Qi wanting to learn about this matter won’t be easy either. If Li Hong Yuan has the intention, then perhaps even after going onto the battlefield, he can still have the other party kept in the dark. However, Jing Wan figured that he won’t do this kind of thing.

Prior to departing, Jing Wan summoned the accompanying major generals, including Fu Yun Ting, Qin Tian Ming, and such. Seemingly having a thousands words to say, yet when actually facing, she just said a few words. Actually, there was no need to say more. These generals naturally understood Jing Wan’s meaning. They will certainly protect his Majesty’s wellbeing, even if giving up their own life.

Jing Wan originally wanted to let Li Hong Yuan take Yu Zhong Qing along too. As the Commander of the Imperial Guards, perhaps he wasn’t a talented field commander, but for protecting him at all times as a bodyguard, he was still enough. However, Li Hong Yuan firmly refused. Even if right now the capital was for the most part safe, the guards of the imperial palace still can’t let their guard down. That’s why, Yu Zhong Qing can’t leave.

Afterwards, Jing Wan had Li Su Yan sent out. In any case, for Li Su Yan, who has already been officially promoted into the Commander of the Black Clad Guards, under normal circumstances, he won’t be needed.

When it came time for Li Hong Yuan’s departure, it was already the beginning of the seventh month, precisely when the sun was blazing hot. Li Hong Yuan actually wasn’t wearing armor, just a simple and light activewear. His incomparably good figure can faintly be seen. There wasn’t a grand procession, just him sitting on horseback with the various generals behind him. In this moment, everyone’s eyes were all gathered on him, not just because he was the ruler of a country, and also not because of that face of his, but because of that imposing air on him. Clearly he’d never led troops before, never having fought in battle, yet that menacing air was nevertheless like as if he was someone that had walked out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, exceptionally terrifying.

TN: All

With the ruler of a country personally leading troops into battle, the main commander naturally can’t be someone else. This more or less made some worry a little. Although at present, it has been proven from various sides that Yuan Qi Emperor’s abilities were ample, going to war was still a completely different matter. Yuan Qi Emperor grew up in the capital. The only battlefield that he had somewhat came in contact with was also just that one battle with West Xiongnu back then. But that battle also had nothing to do with him.

West Xiongnu’s army, although dauntless, in terms of numbers, they were ultimately still greatly limited. However, Southern Qi wasn’t the same. On the surface, they seemed as if equal to Qi Yuan in national power, but in reality, Southern Qi’s national power was still a bit stronger. That’s why, going to war with Southern Qi, one absolutely can’t treat it lightly. A main commander that is inexperienced in battle……..

However, Qin Tian Ming had a somewhat blind faith in Li Hong Yuan, and Fu Yun Ting, because of having witnessed Li Hong Yuan’s abilities before, was actually the one that was the least worried in this aspect.

As for Li Hong Yuan, he wasn’t someone that will take his subordinates’ thoughts into consideration. He has always further liked using the facts to speak.

Of course, Li Hong Yuan had also specifically ordered someone else to follow along, the ‘living world map’, who back then had gotten perceptively pulled up by Jing Wan. Heard that towards half of Southern Qi’s land, he was all very familiar. Having such a person, it will certainly be of great use.

Jing Wan led along the civil and military officials, standing upon the city wall, her two hands naturally folded before her body, their eyes meeting. There were too many things, but in this moment, no sound prevailed over sound.

Li Hong Yuan tightened the reins, the horse turning its body, “Jya—-” Follow current s on (f)ir(e).nᴇt

Jing Wan knew his habit. Once he advanced forward, he won’t turn around. That’s why, when he could no longer see, the expression on Jing Wan’s face finally no longer remained tranquil. Worry and unwillingness to part leaked out, unconsciously clenching her fist.

“Your Highness.” Mu An lightly called out by her side.

Jing Wan let out a breath, having all the emotions put away. Because he wasn’t here, that’s why, she needed to take care of the country for him, letting him not have any worries about trouble in the rear when fighting with the enemy in front.

“Return to the palace!” Jing Wan swung her sleeve, resolutely turning around, her steps firm, her expression determined.

Qi Yuan’s mountains and rivers will now be under her control.

Facing this kind of Jing Wan, the others were all able to clearly sense her uniqueness. To put it more specifically, it was probably just having a heavenly might, making one not dare to easily offend.
