The possibility of a barbarian invasion in the autumn. Apart from Pang Yukun, military generals like Lu Fei soon received the news. "Your Highness, as long as the equipment and weapons can keep up, defending Cangzhou City won't be a problem. But so far, even the equipment for the Qingzhou camp hasn't been settled. Can you hurry Chen Wenlong along?" Lu Fei shot a sideways glance at Chen Wenlong, who stood with his eyes fixed straight ahead, his teeth clenched in frustration. Chen Wenlong had a calm…-

"Your Highness, are you saying you plan to face the barbarians alone?" Qián Dàfù looked incredulous. Xiao Ming nodded. "That's right. This time, I will protect my fiefdom myself. In these times, no one can be relied upon. I can only depend on myself." The Wáng family's schemes, Princess Pingyang's calculations, and King Wei's secret plots—each incident reminded Xiao Ming that he was surrounded by wolves. There was no one he could truly trust. The only person he could rely on was himself. "Your…

Unlike the usual tranquility, the entrance of the Prince of Qi's mansion was unusually lively today. A small sedan chair with green embroidered curtains was parked in front of the mansion, and the sound of a woman's soft weeping could be heard from inside. Outside the sedan chair stood two fierce-looking matrons, who were cursing and scolding. Zǐwǎn stood at the entrance of the mansion, her hands on her slender waist, her willow-like eyebrows furrowed, exuding an air of unyielding…

The atmosphere in the main hall was tense. Xiao Ming and Hóngyún stared at each other for a long time before Hóngyún let out a soft sigh. "It's only been half a year, yet Your Highness treats me like a stranger." "Miss Hóngyún, let's get to the point. Do we really need to exchange sweet nothings and talk about eternal love? Besides, you've always been entangled with the Wáng family. Do you think I don't know that?" Xiao Ming said indifferently. Hóngyún chuckled lightly. "Your Highness has…

Governor's Mansion. Pang Yukun was reviewing reports submitted from various prefectures. The Sun family's militia had been annihilated, and the next day, at the eastern market of Qingzhou, all participants in the incident were publicly executed. The crowd that gathered to witness the event was so large that the execution ground was completely packed. People came to see this extraordinary event with their own eyes. Having been oppressed by the nobility for many years, the common folk now saw the downfall…

"You're talking about Zhan Xingchang, the Sima of Qingzhou?" Xiao Ming had some impression of this person. He had been recommended by Pang Yukun and later appointed as the Sima in the Qingzhou government office. The position of Sima in the Great Yu Empire was relatively minor, roughly equivalent to a modern-day city mayor's secretary. "Yes, yes, I think his name is Zhan Xingchang," Medical Officer Sun seemed to recall. Currently, among Xiao Ming's advisors, Pang Yukun was his top civil official, Lu Fei…

"Isn't it obvious? Different categories mean different things to do after graduation," Scholar Du said matter-of-factly. "That's why it's strange. The sages taught us that studying is for self-cultivation, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. It's about becoming a high-ranking official and serving the nation and its people. If that's the case, why does the Bowen Academy need so many categories? The classics, history, philosophy, and literature should suffice," one scholar argued. "I…

A spring breeze carrying a hint of warmth blew past, causing the leaves to rustle softly. If not for the current scene, this would have been a picturesque spring landscape. "I do not need the support of the nobility, nor does the Great Yu Empire. The history shaped by the nobility over thousands of years should now be written by the countless common people of the land." Xiao Ming's impassioned voice rang out. In his eyes, Sun Yuanzhi saw mockery, the same disdain they had shown toward the lowly…

"Hehe, Medical Officer Sun, just listen to His Highness. The current His Highness is truly knowledgeable and talented," Lu Fei, lying on the bed, chuckled. Medical Officer Sun frowned. "A physician's heart is benevolent; how can we act recklessly? If Your Highness cannot provide a reason, this old man dare not use such methods." This put Xiao Ming in a difficult position. The principle of alcohol disinfection couldn't be explained clearly with words alone; it required experiments to prove. Fresh meat…

"I hope Commandant Lu is safe!" Thinking of the past grievances with Lu Fei, which were all matters from Xiao Ming's previous life, but in recent days, Lu Fei has indeed been the only reliable person in the army. "Your Highness, there's no need to worry. Back in the day, Commandant Lu could move freely even amidst the thousands of barbarian troops. These ragtag militias are no match for him," Pang Yukun said without a hint of concern. As they spoke, the Qingzhou Army had already engaged in close combat…
