My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 354 Preparations Before Departure
  Thinking of this, Feng Bao couldn't help but become more and more worried.

However, Gao Lin looked at Feng Bao and comforted him in time.

"Master Xie Qian is a great master of Confucianism who has spread his virtues all over the world. Even in North Korea, he is quite famous. The demons of the White Lotus Sect will probably not choose to attack Master Xie until the last moment and break up with the Confucian group in North Korea."

"Even so, I'm still worried..."

Feng Bao sighed, thinking of his adoptive father's instructions before leaving, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"How about this? My father-in-law can write a letter, and I can send three hundred Jurchen warriors to North Korea to protect Mr. Xie Qian in the name of approving the border between Haixi and North Korea. Father-in-law, you think this is good!"

Hearing Gao Lin's words, Feng Bao was overjoyed.

He looked at Gao Lin with uncontrollable joy on his face.

As one of the eunuchs Bingbi, the Chief of Ceremonies in the capital, and also responsible for supervising military affairs in Liaodong, he theoretically did have the power to mobilize the Liaodong army.

But in fact, although they probably did not dare to refuse Feng Bao's order, it is hard to say whether the frontier generals in Liaodong would do their best to serve them after receiving the order.

With Gao Lin's commitment, it will undoubtedly be able to ensure to a great extent that these Liaodong military leaders will carry out their orders.

"Then without further ado, the imperial court has given me the task of supervising the Liaodong Seal. Please go and do it quickly... If this mission is successful and makes Long Yan happy, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the Holy Lord..."

Feng Bao took out a seal from his arms that was jointly certified by the inner court, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

Although in order to promote the feudal king's policy of guarding the border, the imperial court had gradually transferred the dispatching rights of the border army to the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

However, the Ministry of War is still responsible for the appointment, removal, promotion and relegation of personnel in the border army.

This was also the result of compromise between civil servants and military generals after many battles to compete for the imperial army.

As for the violent machine of the empire, the twelve eunuchs of the inner court also have their own little calculations.

The civilian officials had garrison censors, garrison counselors, and military affairs officers to check and balance the military generals and general soldiers to control various military posts.

The inner court can also send eunuchs and supervisors to check and balance military generals and civil servants.

The official seal in Feng Bao's hand is different from the ordinary military supervisor's seal.

Acting in compliance with the imperial edict, the Fifth Army Commander's Office and the Ministry of War both put their own marks on it.

In order to indicate to the military censors and generals in various places, this was the decree of the emperor in Wanshou Palace.

Let them follow orders without making mistakes.

Feng Baoneng's handing of the official seal to Gao Lin also represented his trust in him, implying that as long as he did things well, he could also connect him in Beijing to facilitate his transfer from the local area back to the Fifth Army Governor's Office in the future.

"Thank you, sir. Without further ado, I will set off to deliver the order..."

As Gao Lin left holding the official seal.

Guo Xun, Fan He and Feng Bao were the only three people left in the house.

Because of the continuous wars in recent years, the emperor was always stationed in the army, and most of the edicts were issued by his honorable ministers and generals.

When the war ended and he returned to the capital, the emperor once again lived in the palace for a long time and was in seclusion all year round. The imperial army was also always with the emperor in Xiyuan, and orders were often sent to the imperial army and the eunuchs in the palace in parallel.

This made the eunuchs in the palace deeply feel the challenge to their status from the vassals of the imperial power, the imperial nobles.

Although the two parties did not say it clearly to each other.

But overt and covert fighting has always existed.

This caused the relationship between the two to ferment and become increasingly tense as time went by.

When the two get along, each other feels the atmosphere is awkward.

Feng Bao and Guo Xun opened their mouths several times to say something, but they stopped when they reached their lips.

It was Guo Xun who took the lead in breaking the deadlock. "The Imperial Guards have been hunting down the White Lotus Demons of Liaodong these days. They have been working hard during the day and night. Now that the big plan has been decided, I will give them an order to have a good rest tonight and ride to the court early tomorrow morning."

Feng Bao nodded, and the two of them said goodbye.

When Guo Xun walked out of the military camp, he suddenly looked back at Fan He, who was carrying a halberd and leading a horse behind him.

"You also heard what Gao Lin said just now. Going to North Korea is dangerous and unpredictable. Don't be a errand tonight, go and reunite with your family and say goodbye."

When Guo Xun said this, he pulled the horse, took the halberd, and flew up, all in one movement.

Then he rode away.

Leave time to Fan He himself.

Fan He looked at the small village chief at the foot of the mountain, thinking about his trip to the imperial court in the near future. He sighed, and then put all his worries behind him.

Thinking of his long-separated family, he couldn't help but feel a bit of joy in his eyes.

But before going home, he had to go to the market to buy some things for his wife and children to use as daily expenses while he was away from Tieling.

……

"There was an envoy from the guardhouse just now. He brought wine and meat to our house, and also bought a lot of things. Even Ying'er's winter clothes were prepared. Before leaving, he left twenty taels of silver for the expenses of settling down... "

The wife heated the turbid wine that Fan He bought, put it on the table and said.

But after receiving the reward from the imperial court, instead of showing any joy on her face, she became increasingly sad.

No reward for no merit - this is the simplest truth that everyone knows.

Especially... Cui Sanniang, as the daughter of a Jurchen hunter, can take on some tasks sent by the guards to go up the mountain to eliminate pests during the off-season. She is a woman who hunts tigers and wolves with a bow. She can even feel the two warriors who came to the house today to give money and food. The whole body has an extraordinary bearing.

They are not like the sergeants who can be raised in a poor place like Tieling, but more like the champion warriors who guard the imperial city over in the capital and are the champion warriors around the emperor who are the spearhead of the army charging into the battle...

Thinking of that guess, it made her mind spin even more. She looked at the table already drooling at the table of delicious food. Baba looked at the boy and girl who were waiting to use their chopsticks, and felt even more sad in her heart.

She wanted to speak to the whole clan, but she was afraid that the imperial court would appoint Fan He to participate in the war.

Not only are things unchangeable, but they add to the sorrow.

It ruined the joy of the children at home who were finally able to eat meat.

I could only sigh silently in my heart.

He poured himself a glass of home-brewed wine, and drank it down in one gulp under the dim candlelight in the room.

"Eat quickly! Zhuangzi, you are sixteen years old this year, it's time to eat more..."

Fan He placed the chicken thigh in front of his eldest son Fan Zhuang and said.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

Fan Zhuang obviously didn't understand the current situation, so he picked up the chicken leg and started to chew it.

After all, in the past, this kind of portion was usually eaten by the father and mother who had the highest status in the family and shouldered the most responsibilities.

Fan He stared at the young man devouring food in front of him.

Although his appearance is still a bit immature and his body is still a bit thin, he is already as tall as himself, and he can draw a bow and hold a spear, fight ligers and tigers, and kill thieves with his bare hands.

Yes, sixteen years old.

It was also old enough to be drafted by the imperial court, to guard the borders and hunt, and to undertake family corvee duties for the imperial court.
