Xiao Bing inexplicably had a bad feeling, but he remained calm, with his signature smile on his face.

He was not afraid that Tian Rumo would tell him some jokes!

What kind of joke could Tian Rumo tell that wouldn't make him laugh?

"My second sister-in-law is telling jokes now, hahahaha, as long as my second sister-in-law tells jokes to me, I will definitely laugh!"

Tian Ruomo gently stroked Xiaomei's forehead in her arms and laughed, "Okay, okay, father is here!"

Sure enough, Emperor Ming of Jin hurriedly walked in from the side!

As soon as Tian Ruomo entered the palace, he was informed.

He had confirmed that Tian Rumo did not come back with Xiao Yan and Xiao Jun.

Last night, he also received a letter via carrier pigeon from Shanhai Province. It was confirmed that Tian Ruomo was still in Shanhai Province the day before, selecting key officials for each city in the province and inspecting the Qingshan Army camp.

She suddenly appeared in the capital today. It is conceivable that Tian Rumo really has some special magic as the legend says, which allows her to travel thousands of miles between the capital and Shanhai Province overnight.

However, things will be much easier if Tian Ruomo can return to Kyoto.

Tian Ruomo's ability was quite powerful and she was out of his control.

Now, Tian Rumo has military forces in her hands, which is definitely a huge hidden danger for him.

However, he didn't want to reject Tian Ruomo in person. After all, he needed Tian Ruomo to be willing to make the asthma medicine.

It would be easier if Tian Rumo was there. He asked Tian Rumo to see for herself how the officials opposed it.

At that time, he only needs to comply with the demands and decisions of the officials, promise to treat and compensate the people of Shanhai Province well, let Tian Rumo stay in the capital with peace of mind, and continue to make medicine for him.

When he saw Tian Rumo, although Emperor Ming of Jin did not feel any surprise in his heart, he still deliberately showed a look of surprise.

"Princess Qi, when did you return to the capital?"

Tian Ruomo naturally knew what Emperor Jin Ming was thinking. She smiled and bowed slightly, "Father, I returned to the capital yesterday. Because of other things, I didn't come to see you the first time. I hope you can forgive me!"

Emperor Jin Ming didn't seem to care, "It's okay, just come back!"

"Then let's start the morning court!"

All the officials and several princes in the audience stood in their seats, knelt before Emperor Ming of Jin, and shouted "Long live the Emperor".

Tian Rumo had obtained permission from Emperor Ming of Jin and did not need to kneel down to kowtow to him, so she just stood beside Xiao Jun, holding Xiaomei, and bowed to Emperor Ming of Jin.

Emperor Jin Ming raised his hand to signal all officials to stand up. Suddenly, he found a problem and frowned to ask, "My dear ministers who were supposed to attend the morning court today, why are so many missing?"

The court was originally packed with people, but it was clear at a glance that at least one-third of the officials were absent.

Prime Minister Xu Gongmin turned his head to look at his colleagues behind him, then bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, today most of the people in the capital have gathered at the palace, blocking the streets and alleys outside."

"It is rumored that Yang Liu of Shanhai Province has done all kinds of cruel and atrocious things to harm the people, making the people extremely disgusted with the court officials!"

"Some people also said that the officials today wanted to prevent the Princess of Qi from becoming the commander-in-chief of the Qingshan Army in the court. They would send a large army to quell the rebellion, which would lead to the destruction of all lives."

"Therefore, the people on many streets leading to the palace did not give way to the officials going to court, and even deliberately blocked the officials from going to court!"

"Luckily, the imperial guards arrived and drove away the civilians, so we were able to enter the palace safely. The officials who hadn't arrived yet were probably blocked and couldn't enter the palace!"

All of these officials are still frightened.

Today, the people who were originally as docile as sheep, for some reason, looked at the court officials with unfriendly eyes.

No matter who they were, they refused to give way and even deliberately surrounded them, shouting slogans at them and claiming to support Tian Ruomo.

Although the people did not take any violent actions and just surrounded them, some of them were really scared.

If the imperial guards from the capital had not arrived, they were really worried that the people would take even more extreme actions.

Emperor Ming of Jin's face suddenly darkened and he glared at Xiao Yan fiercely.

In the eyes of Emperor Ming of Jin, this was Xiao Yan's secret manipulation to incite public opinion.

Of course, he felt that now was not the time to deal with this matter.

In addition, he had no substantial evidence to prove that it was Xiao Yan who did it.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then said, "The main ministers have arrived, so let's discuss the business while waiting for the other ministers to arrive!"

He glanced at Tian Rumo and coughed twice.

"I believe everyone knows what happened in Shanhai Province!"

"I assigned Princess Qi to go to Shanhai Province. Her gains were greater than I expected. Not only did she subdue the Qingshan Army, but she also got rid of a corrupt official for me, eradicating a great scourge for the people of Shanhai Province."

"The Princess of Qi has made great contributions. This is beyond discussion. I will naturally reward her. However, the people of Shanhai Province and the Qingshan Army have made a request to the court, that is, the Princess of Qi be appointed as the commander of the Qingshan Army and concurrently the governor of Shanhai Province."

"A woman is a high-ranking official and a general in command of an army. This has never happened before in history. I cannot make a decision, so today, I would like to ask you, my dear ministers, to discuss whether this is feasible."

All the officials looked at each other, and soon, starting with Prime Minister Xu Gongmin, they all lowered their heads and did not speak.

The six princes stood there according to their rank, and did not speak.

Except for Xiao Yan and Xiao Jun, the other four princes made preparations in advance.

After they found out that Xiao Yan and Tian Rumo had a bad relationship, they didn't want to confront Tian Rumo too much.

However, they still did not want Tian Ruomo to control the Shanhai Province and the 100,000 Qingshan Army.

The court officials who supported them were ready to oppose Emperor Ming of Jin and do their utmost to obstruct this matter.

Of course, they tried not to speak as much as possible and let the officials speak.

Emperor Ming of Jin glanced at everyone and was slightly surprised to see Tian Rumo standing next to Xiao Jun instead of Xiao Yan.

He didn't think much about anything else because he discovered another bigger surprise.

That means no one is talking!

He thought that someone would be eager to express his opposition and then give a long list of high-sounding reasons.

For the first time in history, a woman wanted to become a marshal and a high-ranking official, which was completely contrary to past customs.

There are so many grounds for doubt and opposition.

However, no one raised any objections.

Because the court was so quiet, everyone could vaguely hear the shouts of thousands of people coming from outside the main gate of the palace.

"Support Princess Qi, support the female doctor who saves people from suffering!"

"Your Majesty, please obey the will of Heaven and appoint the female doctor as the Great General to Protect the Nation!"

······

Emperor Ming of Jin was in an even worse mood.

He spoke again with some impatience, "Why are you all mute today?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Aren't we all good at speaking?"
