It’s as early as possible!
In the morning, he lost a few white hairs!
What a pity that he still has to worry about the heart of a country at his old age!
Shangshu Hube drank three glasses of wine in one breath.
It was as if as long as he drank every drop of these three glasses of wine, the soldiers would go to war tomorrow and return in triumph the day after tomorrow!
The soldiers had a limited amount of wine on the table, only three glasses. Now they could only replace the wine with tea and return the favor to Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance.
Next, Nuan Nuan, Nalan Jinnian, the Minister of War and others toasted to the soldiers who were marching, and the soldiers responded with tea instead of wine.
In order to leave more time for everyone to prepare for the expedition tomorrow, the emperor did not stay long. After toasting with the soldiers and eating, he set off back to the palace.
After the emperor and his party returned to the palace, some soldiers immediately went to collect the money and then hurried home.
Because I don’t know how many years it will take to return from this expedition, and I don’t know if I will come back alive. Since the emperor has granted permission, the soldiers whose families are in the capital or the suburbs of Beijing are allowed to go home to reunite with their families. Of course, the soldiers who were able to go home took the time to go home and give all the money they saved to their families.
However, most of the soldiers were not from near the capital, and it was impossible to go back, so they could only ask the army's logistics department to help send people to send the money home.
The military logistics office will notify local officials and arrange for local officials to deliver the money to the soldiers' homes.
Which official or person would dare to spend this sum of money and behead him in public
When returning to the city, the emperor sat on the imperial chariot and said to everyone: "Post the imperial list, and at the same time, the people, tomorrow the soldiers will go to northern Xinjiang, let the people send the soldiers off! Let the soldiers also know that the people are thinking about it. I hope they can return victoriously soon!"
"Yes!" The Minister of War agreed immediately.
Wen Nuan smiled slightly, the emperor had learned it now.

Because Prince An's eldest son will go on an expedition tomorrow, the family will naturally be reunited. Wu Jingmei's parents happened to be still in the capital, so Princess An posted a message inviting Wenwen and her family to have a farewell reunion dinner at Prince An's Mansion.
Wen Ling was originally happy when she heard this, but the second and third bedroom families all found excuses to refuse to go and stayed at Anguo Duke's Mansion for dinner.
The people in the second room were there to prevent Wen Ling from causing trouble, and the third room stayed with the second room.
Although Wen Jiarui felt that they were too polite, he tried to persuade them several times, but when he saw that they were determined not to go, he gave up.
Wen Jiagui knows in his heart that when others give you face, you should also consider others. Only in this way can the relationship become more intimate.
Wen Jiagui said to Mr. Tan, "Let's go back home tomorrow!"
When Mrs. Wucheng Bingmasi heard that the Wen family planned to return to Ningyuan County, she invited a matchmaker to propose marriage this afternoon. Liu Kai and Wen Qian had already exchanged invitations, and were just waiting for Liu Kai's triumphant return to choose a date. Wedding.
Wen Qian will be seventeen years old by the end of the year, but some women in the capital don't get married until they are eighteen or nineteen years old. Although it is late, there is a reason for this, and they will not be laughed at.

the next day
One hundred thousand troops gathered outside the city gate.
Prince An held Wu Jingmei's hand, his eyes filled with reluctance: "Take good care of yourself and wait until I come back."
Wu Jingmei endured the sourness in her eyes and nodded with a smile: "I will, you must come back safely!"
Prince An couldn't help but hugged Wu Jingmei into his arms: "I will do it."
Princess An's eyes were red for a long time, and she told the two guards around Prince An to protect him.
Prince An let go of Wu Jingmei and knelt down in front of Princess An and Prince An: "Father, Prince Mother, the child has set off. You must take care of yourself and wait for the child's triumphant return!"
Princess An nodded with red eyes: "Get up quickly, don't worry about us, just take care of yourself and come back safely!"
Prince An: "Go quickly! You are a general. What are you doing here? When you get to the battlefield, kill a few more Beiming dog thieves. Don't lose my face!"
Prince An nodded, glanced at Wu Jingmei again, then got on his horse and walked in front of the army.
The seventh prince had already walked in front of the army. There was nothing he could do. His father was the emperor and he was standing on the city!
His mother has gone away a long time ago, and there is no one to send him off!
Fortunately, Aunt Seventeenth had just given him a package, otherwise he would have cried to death!
The seventh prince glanced at the army behind him.
Today, many people came to see them off. They all held a package or several brown paper bags in their hands, which contained dry food made by themselves. Everyone gave the dry food in their hands to the soldiers to express their feelings.
Each soldier was given some dry food, and their hearts were heavy.
I am even more determined in my heart. During this expedition, I must drive away the dog thieves in Beiming Kingdom, protect my homeland, and protect these fellow villagers.
The Seventh Prince and Prince An glanced at the sun. Seeing that the time had come, they glanced at the direction where Nalan Jinnian and Wen Nuan were standing.
Nalan Jinnian nodded slightly to the two of them.
The two people immediately shouted: "Let's go!"
Then he pinched the horse's belly and the horse started to move.
The soldiers began to jog.
The people on both sides shouted loudly: "Congratulations to our soldiers! We must return in triumph as soon as possible!"
"Congratulations to our soldiers, please come back safely!"
... ... .
During this expedition, the emperor also brought all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to see him off in the city.
Seeing the 100,000-strong army marching away, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, is it too high-profile for our army to go on an expedition? It would not be good if the enemy knew the whereabouts! Besides, only 100,000 troops were sent to the north. Isn’t the support from Ming State too little? Doesn’t Beiming State have an army of 300,000?”
The emperor, looking at the rolling dust that the soldiers had trampled, said calmly: "I just want to go out on a high-profile expedition and tell Beiming Country and the other three countries that our Nalan Country has high fighting spirit and confidence, and we will definitely win!"
The Minister of Industry was even more surprised. Where did the emperor get his confidence
Are there any other arrangements
The third prince sent a message back saying that he wanted to come back and asked him to find a way in front of the emperor to summon him back to the capital.
He originally thought that the third prince should return to the capital and serve the emperor.
Now the second prince has been released from confinement.
King Jin and Princess Hui'an have already got married. It seems that the third prince has given up on Princess Hui'an.
Besides, he had a premonition that King Jin and Princess Hui'an would go on an expedition soon.
Without King Jin in the capital, it was just the time for the third prince to develop his own power.
But I don’t know what the emperor’s plans are. If the third prince can stay with him for another month or two and earn some military merit, it will be of great benefit to the future fight for the throne!
The Minister of Industry and Industry smiled and said, "The Emperor must have some back-up plan, right?"
The emperor did not speak, but turned to Eunuch Lin and said, "Go back to the palace!"
Eunuch Lin immediately said: "Your Majesty, please drive back to the palace!"
