The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1247: unchanged
Chapter 1247 No Change
After all, Daliang was conquered later and was not part of the Great Zhou territory from the beginning. Bai Qingyan knew all about how many old nobles in Daliang were still dissatisfied. Now she was transferring the soldiers stationed in Daliang to the border of the Great Zhou and the State of Yan. There was no guarantee that there would not be people with ulterior motives who would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
“Okay, I understand!” Dong Qingping nodded. This was exactly what he was worried about.
“In addition, I received the battle report yesterday and learned that the battle method known only to the Great Zhou and the State of Yan had leaked out from the State of Yan, resulting in the whereabouts of the Fifth Young Master of the Bai Family and the Seventh Young Lady of the Bai Family being unknown. I ordered troops to be deployed on the border of the State of Yan, and the news that she had just given birth and abandoned her child to set off for Xiliang. I would also like to trouble the three adults to let it out without leaving any trace!” Bai Qingyan’s eyes were clear. “Then impose martial law in the capital city, and have the school office start to investigate people who have left the capital city, especially those who have been recorded as suspicious before. This time, we must make sure to find all the spies from Xiliang and the State of Yan that can be found… All of them are eradicated!”
“Yes!” General Lu responded.
“There is one more thing that the three adults should know. It is true that Ayu was seriously injured and captured this time because of the collusion between the people of Yan State and the people of Xiliang. It was also Ayu who knew about this in advance and used the trick to open the city gate for our Great Zhou army to enter Yunjing and reduce the casualties of the Great Zhou army! And I took this opportunity to mobilize troops to the border of Yan State to prepare for the world struggle after Yunjing is pacified!”
Bai Qing’s words were sonorous, and he mentioned the struggle for the world…which immediately made the elderly commander Lu’s blood boil.
Yes, this is the Emperor of their Great Zhou!
Even when faced with difficulties, they still did not forget to plan for the future. Their majesties never forgot the four words “unification of the country”.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan had thought it through, Shen Sikong felt relieved. It seemed that Bai Qingyan was not blinded by hatred and so he did not care about anything.
“I’ll have to trouble General Lu with the remaining matters in the court! General Lu discusses everything with the Queen Mother. Things that don’t have time to be sent to Xiliang for my approval can be done once the Queen Mother agrees…” Bai Qingyan said.
“Yes!” General Lu responded.
“Okay, then, Bai Qingyan will entrust the affairs of the Great Zhou and the capital to the three of you. Especially for this Spring Examination, promote more talented women to serve as officials in the court, so that the people know that letting women study and serve in the court is not just a joke! Another thing… let Dong Changyuan and others discuss the corresponding countermeasures for women to serve as officials in the court, including women’s marriage, childbirth, confinement, etc. At this time, who should temporarily take over the responsibilities of the women’s positions!”
“As for women serving as officials in the court, what kind of official position can they hold… Originally, I was thinking of discussing it carefully after Your Majesty returns!” said General Lu.
Bai Qingyan just calmly said: “Whatever position a man can hold, a woman can hold. For the time being, we will all follow the same process and try not to differentiate between men and women. When we implement it, if we encounter any situation, we can discuss changes later.”
“Yes!” General Lu responded.
“Well, that’s all I have to say. If there is anything else to do, we can discuss it later!” Bai Qingyan thought it over again in his mind, and when he was sure that there was nothing else that needed to be arranged, he said to the three adults, “Then I will set off first!”
The three adults hurriedly bowed to Bai Qingyan, said goodbye and got out of the carriage.
Dong Qingping looked at Bai Qingyan, hesitant to speak, and finally just warned: “Take care of yourself! You are not made of iron! Now that you know that Ayu is playing tricks on you, you should also play tricks on her, but for the sake of your health, there is no need to rush. If you are really worried, send a letter to Dengzhou and ask your uncle to go to Xiliang. After all, Rongdi has now been incorporated into our Great Zhou, and there is no need to be on guard!”
“I understand, uncle.” Bai Qingyan and Dong Qingping nodded, their hearts filled with warmth.
Dong Qingping then sighed, came out of the carriage, stood beside General Lu and Shen Sikong, and respectfully saw Bai Qingyan off.
Just now in the carriage, they were uncle and nephew, but now they are king and subject.
After watching Bai Qingyan’s carriage team go away, General Lu straightened up and said, “Your Majesty just said that we need to formulate corresponding countermeasures for women to serve as officials in the court. This matter is imminent.”
“Although Dong Changyuan is young, passionate and smart, he is still too immature. He can be guided by the old fox Lu Jin. Lu Jin is…very smart!” Shen Sikong said.
Dong Qingping also nodded.
Although General Lu wanted to support his son, to be honest… Lu Jin was stronger than his son Lu Jinxian, and even General Lu could not deny that.
Therefore, it is time for General Lu to consider pushing Lu Jin to the front and training the next general for Da Zhou and Bai Qingyan. This time… just treat it as a small test for Dong Changyuan and Lu Jin.

The capital city of Baifu.
On the second day after Bai Qingyan set out for “Xiliang”, news came from the palace that the little princess vomited milk again, and then the little prince also vomited milk. Doctor Huang was at a loss. The empress dowager specially summoned the Imperial Observatory to inquire. She had dreamed for three days in a row that the strange phenomenon when the little prince and princess were born happened above the Bai Mansion in the capital city. She asked whether this dream was related to the little prince and princess’s weakness and vomiting of milk.
The Imperial Observatory saw the big picture from the small details and reported to the empress dowager that the Bai Mansion was where Your Majesty lived when he was in his latent state, and it was the most auspicious place in the entire Great Zhou. They could try raising the little prince and princess in the Bai Mansion first.
The empress dowager was very satisfied with the answer from the Imperial Observatory, so she called over Grand Marshal Lu, Minister Shen, and Minister Dong and told them the whole story. The three of them also believed that the health of the little prince and princess should be given priority, and where they lived was secondary.
Naturally, the fact that the Queen Mother took the little prince and princess back to live in the Bai Mansion had to be kept secret.
But the affairs of the royal family were being watched by everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so there would be no news that would not leak out. Several ministers also knew that the Queen Mother was going to take the prince and princess back to the Bai Mansion to live for a while.
When Lu Jin heard about this, he pinched his newly grown beard and thought about it. His frown suddenly relaxed and he understood in his heart that His Majesty might not have gone to Xiliang, but just came back after a detour.
The Queen Mother was going to take the little prince and princess back to the Bai Mansion quietly to live for a while, which made everyone in the Bai Mansion busy.
Just as Lu Jin expected, Bai Qingyan had quietly returned to the capital city.
Chuntao, Chunzhi, Lupin and Wei Zhong are slowly heading towards Xiliang.
Wei Zhong had other missions on this trip, so he asked Lupin, Chuntao and Chunzhi to go together just to make it more realistic.
After Bai Qingyan ascended the throne, he had not returned to Qinghui Court for a long time.
Qinghuiyuan still looks the same as before, without any change.
Bai Qingyan leaned against Yinnang, sitting on the bed with his daughter in his arms, and his mother forced a windproof hat on his head.
