On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

The next day at the court meeting, the emperor and empress went to court together to listen to the court officials' report.

Except for the unexpected occurrence of poisonous people yesterday, there were no major events in the Yan Kingdom. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the emperor and empress were very happy.

The Minister of War took the initiative to ask: "The emperor is going to attack Southern Xinjiang and Dongwu Kingdom. Has he decided on a vanguard army? How many troops and horses need to be arranged? When will the troops be sent out? How much food and grass need to be prepared?"

Xiao Ding said: "There is no need for a vanguard army. The queen and I will march in person, and there is no need to prepare food and grass. We will dispatch troops and generals at the border and collect food locally."

After hearing this, all the officials were worried and earnestly advised: "There are poisonous poisons everywhere in southern Xinjiang. The dragon body of the emperor and queen is precious, so it is absolutely forbidden to conquer it personally. It is better to send other generals to conquer it."

Immediately, several generals who protected the country took the initiative to come forward and volunteered, willing to share the worries of the emperor and empress.

"My dear friends, don't worry. When I led the troops to fight in the past, I always took the lead. It was precisely because of the difficulty of conquering southern Xinjiang that I and the Queen went to the expedition in person. Directly dispatching troops locally can also avoid long-distance raids by soldiers from other places. If you don’t accept it, reduce the damage.”

After Xiao Ding explained the reasons for his personal expedition, all the officials knelt down to advise him, not wanting the emperor to put himself in danger.

"A country cannot live without a king for a day. I ask the emperor to think twice and the queen to give advice."

Ning Luo said: "The emperor and the queen are attacking southern Xinjiang so that the world will never be poisoned and the people will be safe for a long time. This has been our long-cherished wish for many years."

"Starting from tomorrow, you twenty cabinet ministers will handle state affairs together. If we cannot return in time, you will assist the three His Highnesses in governing the world."

The appearance of Gu masters this time may be another test arranged by heaven, forcing them to clean up the Gu masters in southern Xinjiang. This trip may not go smoothly, so future matters must be explained clearly first.

Xiao Ding entrusted: "This world is not only the world of the royal family, but also the world of the ministers and the people. I hope you will work together to benefit the people."

He is not greedy for imperial power in the mortal world, he just wants to be a long-term couple with Ning Luo.

It is vaguely known that if the poison in southern Xinjiang can be eliminated, merit can be accumulated for Ningluo.

If the merit is immeasurable, it may have the power to oppose the way of heaven.

As long as it could alleviate Ning Luo's suffering from reincarnation in the future, he would give it a try.

Upon hearing this, all the officials were in reverence and shouted long live, wishing the emperor and empress a speedy triumph.

After going to court, the two went to the Wenhua Hall to see how the three children were going to school.

Outside the hall, I heard the lectures given by the Grand Master.

"A gentleman is benevolent, a gentleman is benevolent, and a gentleman is righteous, and he is never unjust. Does anyone know the deep meaning of this sentence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl's voice sounded clearly.

"Master, I know."

"Okay, please answer Her Majesty the Princess."

Xiao Ding and Ning Luo smiled at each other and walked outside the door to listen to her answer.

Xiao Yanyan said loudly: "Mencius hopes to follow the example and remind the king to be a benevolent and righteous king, so that his subjects will follow suit and become benevolent and righteous people, so that the world will be governed."

The grand master nodded appreciatively, "The princess is smart, which is really a blessing to the Yan Kingdom."

"By analogy, does anyone else want to express their opinion?"

Then several companions stood up and answered enthusiastically.

Although they may not necessarily be eloquent, they all have good understanding.

A happy smile appeared on Xiao Ding's face. With these Dong Palace companions carefully cultivating, there will be talents available when the three princes govern the country in the future.

Ning Luo was a little surprised when his two sons stood up to answer. Are they not interested in running the country?

Xiao Ding seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said softly: "Luo'er, don't worry, Yiyun and Yichen may have other thoughts."

When the grand master saw the emperor and empress standing outside the palace, he asked the eldest prince by name very politely and asked him to express his opinion on Mencius's words.

Xiao Yiyun stood up and said calmly: "In my opinion, although the king's character is important, the country's laws are equally important. Governing people by law needs to be equally important as governing people by virtue."

"Not everyone is born good. I have seen outside the palace that some ministers are honest officials, but their children are bullying men and dominating women without telling their parents. There are also poor families where parents have their duty. He is kind, but his children are spendthrift, lazy, and often speak ill of others."

The Grand Master nodded: "The sages do believe that people are inherently good at birth. This is biased. I wonder if your highness knows why some people are born bad?"

The Grand Master deeply believed that the three highnesses were all fairy children descended to earth, so he also wanted to know how fairies view all living beings.

"Let Yichen answer this question." Xiao Yiyun Qian pointed at his younger brother.

The Grand Master asked: "Your Highness, please help us clear up our doubts."

Xiao Yichen stood up and said: "This question is very simple, because although people who are reincarnated as humans are born with mortal bodies, some people were not humans in their previous lives, or were beasts, flowers, plants, and trees that became humans for the first time, and they are not very human. Without roots, nature, heartlessness and righteousness, such people can only be educated, and if they cannot be educated, they can only be governed by law."

"That's it." The grand master stroked his beard and realized something.

The other schoolchildren grew curious.

"I wonder if Your Highness can tell what reincarnation we were in our previous lives?"

"The secret must not be leaked." The three said in unison.

Xiao Ding and Ning Luo smiled slightly and left quietly.

The three children returned from school and chatted with their parents about what happened in school today. Xiao Ding and Ning Luo listened patiently and fed them themselves.

After they were fed, they said that they would go to southern Xinjiang tomorrow and hoped that the three of them would sit in the palace and listen to the government.

The three children do not want to be left-behind children.

"Father and mother, we want to go with you. If we encounter bad guys, we can also help."

"Father and mother, please don't abandon us."

"I don't want to leave my father and mother."

"..."

They cried and acted coquettishly, and Xiao Ding also relented.

"Okay, I'll take you with me."

After getting the promise, the three children packed their bags happily. Xiao Yanyan even went to the imperial dining room to reserve ten tables of meals. She had to pack these into the space to ensure that she would eat well when she arrived in southern Xinjiang.
