Chapter 93, Emperor Ji
The way the little girl waves her little fists is very cute, and she looks so naive without any aura.
Seeing the girl like this, the emperor finally smiled.
"Okay, then we've agreed, my dear, that you will be my first female general when the time comes."
"Really."
The little girl's eyes seemed to light up with bright colors, as if they were glowing, looking at the emperor full of stars.
"It's a deal."
Touching the little girl's head lovingly again, the emperor returned to his former self.
He stood up calmly and said to the palace maid below.
"Pass the order and grant the title of Princess Xuanwu to the daughter of Marquis Tianyuan."
As the voice fell, the concubines in the next room were stunned at the same time.
They did not expect that the emperor's love for the girl would go to this extent.
Although Diji also means princess, only the emperor's most beloved daughter can have this title.
What's more, although the little girl also has the blood of the royal family, she is never the emperor's biological flesh and blood. Just like this, she is still called the emperor's concubine by the emperor. This shows how much the emperor's love for her has reached.
In addition, the girl has her own title even before she is an adult, which makes it even more unusual.
Even the emperor's own daughter did not receive such treatment.
The status of Emperor Ji cannot be compared to that of the crown prince or eldest princess of this country.
Second only to the emperor himself.
The fact that the little girl was named Emperor Ji by the emperor has become a topic of conversation in recent days.
They all knew that the emperor in the palace liked a little girl very much, but they didn't expect that he would love her to such an extent.
The ceremony for the little girl's canonization was held very grandly, and the whole country was filled with joy.
Gradually, the sadness caused by the death of a family member disappeared.
Maybe the emperor also had this intention. At the end of the war, when everyone was not very interested, he gave everyone some new shocking news to cover up the sadness.
In addition, the New Year is approaching and the atmosphere is too lifeless, which is not a good thing.
That's why he gave the little girl such a second chance at this time. At the same time, the title of Princess Xuanwu also showed his determination and attitude.
This time, although the war has temporarily stopped, it is not completely over yet.
Sooner or later, one day he will truly conquer the plain of ten thousand monsters.
Sitting in the room, the little girl was at the mercy of those people, just like a doll, being dressed in various gorgeous clothes by the aunts in the palace.
The canonization ceremony was very grand, and the streets of the entire capital were filled with all kinds of banquets.
It was a favor specially ordered by the emperor, and it was also better, in order to cover up the sadness of losing the war.
Wearing a grand dress and sitting in a sedan chair, the girl looked curiously at the figures watching her on the street.
There were civilians among them, as well as heirs of princely families like her. You could even see some soldiers still wearing bandages.
Those people were still fighting on the Plains of Ten Thousand Demons not long ago, and now they have all returned to the empire for training.
The moment they saw the girl, their eyes lit up, because through the girl's title, the Emperor had given them a clear message.
This war is not over yet, and they are not completely defeated yet.
That's right, even if no one said it, on the surface it was just called a lose-lose situation, a draw, but without victory, in their hearts it was a defeat.
They were equally unwilling and worried that the war would end in an anticlimactic manner just like in the past.
But after the little girl's canonization ceremony, the emperor gave everyone a message. He still had the idea to continue fighting, but not now, at least until the little girl became an adult.
Nearly 2 million people were lost and disabled. Even a huge empire would need a period of time to recuperate.
In addition, the girl's father died in the same battle as their comrades on the Ten Thousand Demons Plain, so the meaning of this canonization is even more different.
The Emperor will never forget any soldier who has sacrificed his life for this nation.
At least their families, the emperor will give them an ending that makes them feel at ease.
Through this canonization of the girl, the emperor successfully obtained the situation he wanted.
It not only comforted the soldiers at the bottom who had just returned from the battlefield, but also gave the generals a new hope.
What's even more important is to let the nobles of the princely families know that the emperor will not treat any hero badly.
Even if they die in battle, their families will be properly accommodated.
The little girl sat on a tall sedan and was carried around the city, and then walked into the palace step by step.
Under the gaze of all the ministers, he came to the emperor.
He sat down on a small chair next to him.
"Di Ji, I am happy today. Tell me what you want.
Even if it is the head of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Royal Court, I can send someone to help you get it back."
As the voice fell, everyone present fell silent.
It was obvious that the emperor had not completely calmed down, and the losses at that stop were still too great.
This is something no country can afford.
How could it be possible to cover up the past so easily?
At the same time, what the emperor said was not a big deal. If frontal combat was not possible, wouldn't there be assassination?
If he really wanted to, he could really get back the head of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, but it would just be more gain than loss.
That's why he didn't do that.
The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom on the Ten Thousand Demons Plain is different from their empire. It is a country composed of tribes.
The so-called Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is not just as simple as 10,000 kinds of monsters.
And the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons is only a nominal title.
He is not the real master of the entire Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, he is more like a puppet than a master.
If he hadn't suffered the disadvantage of not being familiar with the place he was born in, and if the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters was too vast and dangerous, he wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses there.
"No need, Uncle Emperor, when I grow up, I will go and get it myself."
“Hahahahaha!
good!
You are worthy of being the Imperial Concubine, and worthy of being Princess Xuanwu. Since you have such an idea, I will grant it to you."
I will give you 800 of the most elite soldiers. When you come of age, in the next war, I will appoint you as a general, the first female general in the empire.
Go to the battlefield and personally take away the head of the Lord of Demons."
