The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

As soon as Li Ling left, a group of trusted civil and military officials rushed to the Palace of Qinzheng.

When Emperor Ming saw the ministers, he straight to the point told the urgent military situation. At the end, he glanced at the crowd and asked: "The military situation is urgent, do you have any strategies to defend against the enemy?"

When everyone heard that the Gaoshan Kingdom and the Xiongnu were attacking at the same time, they were all terrified. They chattered and discussed for a while, and the leader Xu Ge came out and replied: "Now Hangu Pass has been lost. If we don't Stop the foreign enemies, all the cities in the south are in danger, I can only see that the most urgent thing is to quickly send people to resist the foreign enemies in the mountains.

As for the Xiongnu, I heard that the grassland is dry this year, and the supply of food and grass will not be available in winter. This group of barbarians must have reacted to the plunder. Now that the enemy in the south is approaching, since the Huns in the north are here for money and food, they should focus on peace talks. "

Emperor Ming nodded slightly, and asked again: "To defend against enemies abroad in the mountains, what do you think I will order who to go?"

This time, the courtiers did not discuss it, and Elder Xu Ge went out and replied directly: "It is only General Li Ling who repelled the enemy army of the Gaoshan Kingdom."

"General Li fought against the Gaoshan Kingdom when he recovered the five cities, and he is familiar with the enemy's way of using troops. Besides, General Li is resourceful. Looking at the generals of Daqi today, there is no one who is more capable of turning the tide than General Li."

Emperor Ming naturally knew that Li Ling was the best candidate to repel the invading enemy army from the Gaoshan Kingdom.

But people are throwing a temper tantrum.

At this moment, Emperor Ming regretted even his intestines.

If Empress Cao hadn't made a bad idea with him yesterday and offended his nephew, how could he be so passive.

Emperor Ming was in a relationship with heaven and man, and Uncle Cao Guo wondered: "When I entered the palace, I happened to meet General Li leaving the palace. Why didn't your majesty stay with him to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Ming poured out all the grievances in his heart on Uncle Cao Guo, and he replied angrily: "Uncle Guo still has the nerve to mention this to me, just ask your good sister who can do it." What a good thing."

Uncle Cao Guo was confused by Emperor Ming's scolding, and asked, "What did your mother do? What does this have to do with your mother?"

Emperor Ming gave a cold snort to Uncle Cao Guo, and said to Xu Ge: "Xu Aiqing first selects a few people who are good at diplomacy, and orders them to hurry up and talk to the Xiongnu. As for resisting the southern enemy, I make my own decision."

After the ministers withdrew, Emperor Ming ordered Empress Cao to be proclaimed to the Palace of Qinzheng.

Empress Cao also just found out about the military situation. Seeing Emperor Ming's serious face, she seemed to have been struck down to make her grow old in an instant. Take care of your dragon body."

Emperor Ming snorted coldly at Empress Cao, and scolded: "Without you messing around here, I will naturally rest easy."

Empress Cao didn't know why, so she looked at Emperor Ming suspiciously and said, "Why did your majesty say that? What did the concubine do wrong, please tell me clearly?"

Emperor Ming snorted heavily again, and said with a sullen face, "You still don't know what you did wrong?"

He rolled his eyes at Empress Cao, and asked back, "I'm here to ask you, did you send someone to the Zhen Guogong's mansion early this morning to make an announcement that you were going to demote Li Ling's wife as a concubine?"

Empress Cao nodded because she didn't understand, and admitted: "The concubine has indeed issued a decree. Didn't this concubine communicate with His Majesty yesterday?"

Naturally, Emperor Ming would not admit that it was his fault. Seeing Empress Cao's sophistry, he slapped the table angrily, and scolded sharply: "If you didn't come up with random ideas, I would agree in a daze. This is because you didn't think carefully about it." , and now they are blaming me instead."

Empress Cao didn't know the reason. Seeing that Emperor Ming was angry, she knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Emperor Ming rolled his eyes at her, and said coldly: "Do you know where the crime is?"

Empress Cao raised her head in trepidation and said: "My concubine is stupid, please show me clearly."

Emperor Ming snorted at her again, and replied with a cold face: "Do you know that it is because you issued an order to demote Li Ling's wife to a concubine, and this time Li Ling was completely angered, so he just came here and handed back the soldier talisman I said I was going to drop the pick."

When Empress Cao heard this, she was surprised and said, "This Li Ling is too presumptuous. He dared to use it to threaten His Majesty."

"Shut up!" Before Empress Cao could finish speaking, Emperor Ming sternly yelled, "He's my own nephew, and it's not your turn to sow discord here. If it wasn't for you, a bitch, to give me bad ideas, why would I be here now?" So passive."

When Empress Cao saw that Emperor Ming had pushed all the crimes on her, she was full of grievances, but she didn't dare to turn against Emperor Ming, and only cried out with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines are wholeheartedly planning for Daqi, and they have no selfishness at all. Please give me a lesson, Your Majesty, woohoo, Your Majesty---"

Emperor Ming was even more annoyed by her noise, he flicked his dragon sleeves and stopped, saying: "What are you screaming here, you still haven't tried to remedy the matter until now."

Empress Cao looked at the target with tears all over her face, and said in a low voice with trepidation: "The courtiers and concubines have all ordered, how can we remedy it?"

Emperor Ming sternly said: "Who told you to issue the Yizhi in such a hurry?"

"Hmph! Since you have the ability to make an order, let me find a way to take it back!"

Empress Cao didn't care about Emperor Ming Longyan's anger at this moment. She walked forward on her knees, looked at Emperor Ming in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty, a concubine is an empress, the mother of a country. There is no reason to let it go and take it back. If the concubine does this, where is the face of the concubine going to be placed?"

Emperor Ming was so angry that he pointed at Empress Cao's nose and cursed: "You still have the face to tell me about your empress' face, but now even I don't care about face."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger outside the hall tremblingly, and said sharply: "Now the great enemies from the north and the south are coming to our door. If Li Ling doesn't go to defend the enemy, can you beat the enemy back to me? Or Can your precious son?"

When Empress Cao saw Emperor Ming was furious, she was afraid of hurting her son, so she knelt on the ground and hugged Emperor Ming's thigh and cried, "Your Majesty, calm down, all this is the fault of this concubine alone."

Emperor Ming pushed Empress Cao to the ground angrily, and said in a cold voice, "Not only do you have to immediately take back the decree, but you also have to apologize to Mrs. Shen in person, and you will never embarrass her again, do you hear me?"

When Empress Cao heard this, she was so frightened that she didn't even bother to cry.

It is enough for the world to laugh out loud for her to take back the imperial decree, but if she wants such an imposing queen to bow down to apologize to a courtier's wife, how will she stand as a queen in the future?

Seeing that she was unwilling, Emperor Ming let out a long sigh, and calmly replied to Empress Cao: "The military situation is extremely urgent. If you can't get Li Ling back, take back the military amulet and go to defend the enemy, then you, the empress, don't do it any longer."
