Quick Travel: Three Thousand Worlds Are Just Playthings

Fang Renhuai also thought of this, but he couldn't say it, so he had to pretend to be puzzled and ask Shi Miao:

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"I am a woman, so naturally I cannot be drafted."

Shi Miao said it lightly, but the ministers in the hall were a little stunned by these words.

Ministers, you look at me and I look at you. Finally, Fang Renhuai bit the bullet and asked again:

"Is the Emperor joking?"

Seeing everyone's obvious disbelief, Shi Miao smiled and took off the crown on his head, his long hair flowing down like a waterfall.

The ministers who watched this scene were all stunned, and the huge Tai Chi Hall fell silent instantly.

Shi Miao looked at the strange expressions of the ministers. While feeling funny, he also did not forget to strike:

"What? Is it possible that because I am a woman, you will rebel?"

Ye Chengming, who was already the prime minister, was the first to kneel down and said loudly: "I dare not, I will swear allegiance to the emperor to the death!"

Kneeling down next was Han Gu, who had just reacted:

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Ye Chengming and Han Gu, who are the next generation backbone of the DPRK, both knelt down, and the rest of the ministers also knelt down to express their stance and shouted long live.

After dealing with the ministers in the palace, Shi Miao turned sideways and looked at Su Zhoubai who was sitting down:

"I wonder if the regent has any doubts about my identity?"

"I have no doubts. I am here to see the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Su Zhoubai was not surprised that Shi Miao would ask him alone, so he answered without hesitation.

Shi Miao knew that Su Zhoubai had no intention of rebelling now. The reason why he asked this extra question was just for those who had not given up yet.

After getting an answer that satisfied him, Shi Miao was not stingy with his kindness, so he got up and went to help Su Zhoubai in person:

"I know the loyalty of the Regent, so I just asked casually. The Regent does not need such courtesy, please come quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After helping Su Zhoubai stand up, Shi Miao turned to look at the minister who was still kneeling in the hall, raised his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, no courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After that morning court meeting, Shi Miao officially returned to being a daughter, and the ministers who wanted to urge Shi Miao to be drafted also stopped for a while.

But Su Zhoubai seemed to have a sense of crisis and became even more attached to Shi Miao.

Especially when Shi Miao wanted to summon Ye Chengming, Han Gu and others to discuss matters, Su Zhoubai had to stay with Shi Miao and Miao at the same time no matter what.

If before, the ministers still didn’t understand why the regent was so attentive to the emperor?

So what else don’t you understand now? It's nothing more than a hero feeling sad about a beauty.

Due to Su Zhoubai's power, the ministers never mentioned the draft again, and Shi Miao cooperated and said nothing.

The fact that Shi Miao was a woman did not cause any commotion in Dashang. After all, Shi Miao's political achievements in the three years since he ascended the throne were obvious to all.

To the people, it doesn't matter who the king is, male or female, as long as he can do practical things and benefit everyone.

The officials and people of Dashang had no objections, but the Yuan and Song dynasties began to look for trouble.

In the early morning, Dong Yan, Minister of War, went out to report to Shi Miao the latest news from border spies:

"Your Majesty, there have been changes in the Song Dynasty's army recently, and they have gradually begun to move towards the border. I am afraid they are trying to provoke a war!"

Shi Miao received the latest trends from Bai Xiaosheng about the armies of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty ten days ago.

Presumably, they think they, the emperor of their daughter's family, are easy to bully!

Before Shi Miao could give a reaction, the ministers below started discussing.

Fortunately, the majority of the parties were fighting, and the result of the discussion was very much in line with Shi Miao's wishes.

Han Gu, who was now a first-rank general, came out to report: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that our great merchants should attack the Song Dynasty first and attack the Song Dynasty first."

"I agree, now that our merchants have enough food and grass, even if the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty unite, we will be able to fight."

Jinhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, was the first to stand up to support Han Gu when Han Gu proposed the use of troops.

With Jinhua taking the lead, ministers voiced their support one after another.

In the past three years, Shi Miao has carried out economic reforms on Dashang, and the results have been very significant. Dashang's current trade volume has increased several times compared with before. A large amount of tax money is put into the treasury every year, and the national treasury is quite sufficient.

In addition to the economy, what Shi Miao gave the greatest attention and support after ascending the throne was military supplies.

Shi Miao took out many design drawings of battle armor and weapons that he had obtained before. He also drew horseshoes and vests that he had seen before, and handed them over to the Ministry of Industry for forging.

After three years, the configuration of Dashang's army is now different from what it was before, and its combat power has increased significantly, almost achieving a qualitative leap.

Shi Miao also came up with the gunpowder formula a year ago. After many experiments by the Ministry of Industry, a batch of explosive packets and grenades have been stockpiled in the secret room of the palace.

No one would believe Shi Miao if he said that he had no intention of unifying the world.

It's just that Shi Miao hasn't figured out a reasonable name for the war.

Now there is no need to think about it, Song Chao himself came to the door.

"Okay, in that case, let's prepare for war!"

Shi Miao sat firmly in the high position and said this sentence with a smile.

Jinhua, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, came out again and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I will order people to prepare grain and grass to be transported to the front line after I come down to the court."

"Okay, let's go now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Jinhua took the order and went down to prepare, Shi Miao glanced at Han Gu:

"This battle can only be won but not defeated. I wonder if any of you dear friends would be willing to lead the troops there?"

"Wei Chen..."

"I am willing."

Han Gu was interrupted by Su Zhoubai just as he was halfway through his words.

The ministers were all surprised by Su Zhoubai's sudden move.

Although the emperor's position has become more and more stable in recent years, even more so than that of the regent,

But the emperor never wanted to deal with the regent, and he also respected the regent.

When encountering major events, the emperor would discuss it with the regent before making a decision.

The emperor's attitude, coupled with the powerful power of the regent himself, created the absolute status of the regent, one person below others and above ten thousand people.

The right to lead the army this time is of little value to the regent, and I don’t know why the regent would come forward to snatch it from General Han?

The ministers didn't know why Su Zhoubai did this, but Shi Miao knew.

Precisely because he knew, Shi Miao could only coax, not blame.

Looking at Su Zhoubai standing in front of him with a very poor expression, Shi Miao had no choice but to explain:

"Zhou Bai, this battle is not difficult, but you are overqualified for leading the troops.

Although General Han does not have as much combat experience as you, he will not have a problem dealing with this battle, so..."
