Everything the queen says is right

Chapter 263 277, Enter the city!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ah Cha took Zuo Xiang and explained a lot while walking.

Even Zuo Qiuge, who had been following them, was a little moved.

It is a blessing for the people to have a goddess who cares about these people.

He used to follow Tuoba Jun, and he had seen many orders, actions, and

But only the goddess has the most genuine concern and love for the people.

He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice Ah Cha calling him.

"Zuoqiuge, please take Mr. Zuo Xiang to have a rest first. I want to walk here again."

Ah Cha knew very well that the arrival of Zuo Xiang meant that she had to complete the handover of affairs in the fief as quickly as possible, and then devote all her energy to dealing with the subsequent internal turmoil in Daxing.

So she wanted to go around and check the situation of the people carefully before leaving the fiefdom, so that she could be more detailed when handing over to the left minister.

Although Zuoqiug was not quite sure of her thoughts, he quickly guessed her intentions.

"Yes, I will lead Mr. Zuo Xiang back to the house now."

But he said that while the left prime minister returned home, the right prime minister's men also sneaked into the city.

An hour ago, in the army of the Right Prime Minister.

"Sir, there is an emergency in Beijing!"

The secret guards trained by the Right Prime Minister hurriedly came to report with the news, which made the Right Prime Minister suddenly dissatisfied.

"How do you behave in such a panic!"

"What emergency could there be in Beijing that would make you so careless!!"

The secret guard who was suddenly shouted at was stunned on the spot and could not react for a moment.

But the right prime minister's complexion changed again. The previous gloominess disappeared and replaced with a gentle face.

"Bring the news, I'll take a look at it."

The secret guard was silently shocked in his heart by the speed of the right Prime Minister's face change, but he did not stop handing over the message.

After the right minister received the news and took a look, his gentle face was immediately broken, and there was ferocity written all over his face.

"That's unreasonable!"

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"Send that old man, the left prime minister, to the fiefdom in the name of taking over the affairs of the fiefdom!"

"The left prime minister, an old man, is so shameless that he dares to carry the coffin to take office in such a flamboyant manner!"

"Their monarchs and ministers sang in harmony, it seemed that I had done something sorry for them in the fiefdom!"

The right prime minister's complaints echoed throughout the camp.

The staff member and the deputy general who were originally called for questioning quietly exchanged glances, and they both saw happiness in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, the person sent by the emperor to take over the affairs of the fief was the left prime minister. If it had been anyone else, their plan to counter the right prime minister would have been difficult to carry out.

It's not like they said that the degree of madness of these Right Prime Ministers is not ordinary and outrageous.

Today's Right Chancellor is perfectly capable of having convulsions and fits of madness from time to time, then trying his best to embarrass everyone around him, and finally finding a way to kill everyone.

However, the right prime minister is still so proud that he is not aware of his own problems at all.

For example, right now, after the right prime minister made a complaint, he turned his attention to them and made it clear that he wanted them to detoxify the news.

The staff member curled his lips secretly, but stood up anyway, pretending to be a flattering smile.

"Master, maybe you are overly worried."

"My subordinates think that His Majesty has already disliked him by sending a leftist prime minister to take over the affairs of the fief."

"There were originally only two prime ministers in the court. In the past, when the left prime minister was still in the court, he relied on himself to enter the court first and become an official, and used his own power to suppress you everywhere."

"Later, you were sent to encircle and suppress the rebels, and the left prime minister was extremely jealous in his heart."

"But your Majesty is such a wise king. He had long realized that the left prime minister was dissatisfied, so he found an excuse to send him out of the capital."

"Think about it, after you return to Beijing, you will be completely inferior to ten thousand people in the court. Who will not be respectful to you when they see you?"

The words of the aide kept swirling in the mind of the right prime minister.

The right minister felt very happy to hear it, but he always felt that he was being censored.

With the last trace of confusion, he asked the question in his heart, "But your Majesty handed over the fiefdom to the left prime minister. Isn't this a disguised form of overpowering me?"

The corner of the staff member's mouth twitched.

It's rare for a Prime Minister to be so self-aware.

As a result, he didn't know whether to praise or complain about the right prime minister.

But of course he won't say these thoughts in his heart, and his skills of deceiving the right minister should still be put to use.

"Master, you are worrying too much."

"Now the fiefdom has been thrown into chaos by rebels like Tuoba Jun. As a result, it has experienced this flood. Now the people in the city must be in panic, and the people are scrambling to escape."

"The Left Prime Minister himself is also very aware of His Majesty's suspicions about him, so he deliberately carried the coffin to take office in order to let Your Majesty see his determination clearly."

"The task of the left prime minister seems to be impossible to complete forever. However, Master, when you return to the capital, His Majesty has specified that you will be rewarded. In comparison, what do you have to worry about?"

After the aide finished speaking, he looked at the right prime minister's face that was lost in thought, and he was very emotional.

He almost believed himself when he was talking just now. If his strong self-control hadn't allowed him to restrain the urge to laugh, I'm afraid the current right minister would have doubted him.

It must be said that his prediction was correct, pertinent and realistic.

The current Right Chancellor is only thinking about how to seize power after returning to Beijing.

He planned to take advantage of the fact that the left prime minister was away from the capital and the left prime minister's forces were leaderless, to vigorously expand his power.

Of course, all these beautiful thoughts in his heart were displayed through the corners of his lips that became wider and wider.

Thinking of the end, he could clearly feel a warm current flowing through his body, which made him excited.

He was very efficient and immediately started writing the letter.

"The first letter, you go and deliver it to our people at the border."

"The second letter is some basic instructions from me to you who are staying in the fiefdom, but don't open it unless absolutely necessary."

"The third letter is very simple. You just need to pretend to go to the city and give it to the witch."

Hearing that the right minister was about to leave the fiefdom, and he could find so many things to do for them, the staff were even more unhappy.

He reluctantly took the letters and weighed them in his hands.

"Master, don't worry, I will complete the things you asked me as quickly as possible. It's just that you have time to return to Beijing this time..."

The time for the right minister's departure had already been decided for half a day before the election in the east and in the west in order to meet the deadline required by the emperor.

After hearing what he said, the right minister also reacted suddenly.

"Yes, it's time for me to set off."

For some reason, the words that came out of his mouth were somewhat sad.

But before the staff could think about the meaning of the right minister's words, they heard a hearty laugh.

"Hahahahaha!"

"After I leave for Beijing this time, Prime Minister Zuo will no longer be my opponent!"

"I want your Majesty to remove him from his post!"

The staff stood there blankly, saying nothing.

He was really just about to get a three-bedroom apartment at his feet.

The right prime minister used to please the emperor and was a brave and resourceful person when he ascended to a high position. Why did he suddenly become so oily and say some non-mainstream cheering words?

However, the Prime Minister's pride did not receive a response, and he turned his attention to them again.

"You have never spoken, do you think that I am not worthy of calling the shots in the court?"

Listen, how outrageous this right minister is.

The staff and deputy general had no choice but to shake their heads and express their attitudes.

Especially the staff, who continued to remind: "Master, you see that the carriages and horses outside are already waiting. Shouldn't we set off now..."

After he said this, the Right Prime Minister finally came to his senses.

"Okay, then I will set off on my journey now!"

"In the next period of time, the army will be managed by you together!"

"Don't forget to send a message back to Beijing at any time detailing the situation in the army!"

……

Faced with the nonsense coming from the right minister's mouth, the staff really wished they could stuff cotton balls in their ears.

Fortunately, the right minister didn't last long and hurriedly boarded the carriage back to Beijing.

Looking at the retreating shadow of the carriage, the deputy general turned sideways and looked at his staff.

"Do we need to send someone to deliver a message to the goddess now?"

"Go and deliver it now, in case the right minister sends someone to deliver some outrageous order halfway."

Others may not understand the right prime minister's temperament, but his staff understand him thoroughly.

The Prime Minister is suspicious and fickle, and it is common for him to change his orders day and night and add tasks temporarily. In order to prevent the Prime Minister from making new tricks, it is better to contact the goddess as soon as possible.

The deputy general did not question his words, but immediately sent out men.

But out of consideration of not understanding Ah Cha, he did not let these people directly negotiate with Ah Cha.

"After you arrive in the city, first observe the situation of the goddess and then explain your purpose of coming."

So Ah Cha received two pieces of news at the same time.

"Goddess, the right minister has already left for Beijing."

Ah Cha nodded and said nothing.

"He left his staff and lieutenants in the army to manage affairs."

It was something that was expected, and Ah Cha didn't say much.

"But the deputy general of the right prime minister sent someone to deliver the news. He is not far away. Do you want to see him?"

Upon hearing this, Acha's eyes widened in surprise and asked again in disbelief.

"Are you saying that the deputy general who oversees the army has been sent by the right prime minister to deliver the message?"

Zuoqiug shrugged and nodded.

To be honest, he was confused when he first heard the news.

He really doesn't understand what kind of medicine the Right Prime Minister and his subordinates are selling in the gourd.

After Acha thought for a brief moment, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

"Since everyone is here, let him come."

She wanted to see what bad ideas the Right Prime Minister and his gang were brewing when she arrived.

"I have met the goddess."

Ah Cha looked him up and down.

This man was quite polite and upright-looking, and he did look like someone who came to deliver serious news.

She was too lazy to keep it secret and started questioning him straight to the point.

"Tell me, why did your master send you to see me?"

"My master wants to bring the whole army to surrender to the goddess, so he sent his subordinates to ask the goddess for her opinion in advance."

Ok?

Ah Cha couldn't stand what he said.

Don't you mean surrender?

Why did you bring a warning and then call yourself a subordinate and come to ask for opinions?

The atmosphere of surrender is here, what else do you need to ask for advice on?

However, according to past practice, the inquiry process is still essential.

"You must also show your sincerity to me when you come to surrender."

"Don't worry, Goddess. My master has already prepared it." The guard said and took out a small token from his arms. "This is a token that only your right minister has. I asked my subordinates to present it to the goddess." grown ups."

Ah Cha stared at this small token in silence for several seconds.

I just want to kill myself with a token.

"Is this your master's sincerity?"

The guard shook his head without hesitation, then took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it respectfully.

"That token is just a little bit of the master's affection for the goddess. The content in this letter is the master's true sincerity."

Okay, okay, Ah Cha admitted that she was severely manipulated by the master the guard called her.

It was rare to meet someone who could predict her predictions, so she was still a little curious.

She opened the letter with some fun in mind, but the more she looked at it, the more serious her face became, and by the end it was so dark that ink was dripping from it.

"Zuoqiuge, take this letter and quickly verify the contents of the letter!"

"As for this guard, he will be detained temporarily!"

The guard spread his hands and didn't look surprised at all.

He dared to say that every step that happened now was based on the speculation of the right minister's staff, even the reaction of the goddess.

When he left the army, his staff specifically told him that when facing the goddess, he must talk less nonsense, express his attitude more, and then follow the requirements step by step.

Now that the effect has been achieved, he is also happy to be temporarily detained.

But he didn't feel any panic at all.

Nothing else, just that the staff said that the goddess would accept their surrender after verification.

Seeing the guard being escorted away, Zuoqiuge was finally able to ask his doubts.

"Goddess, is there something wrong with this guard? Why do you want to temporarily detain him?"

"There is nothing wrong with this guard, but the master he calls the right minister's staff is not an ordinary person."

"The sincerity given by this staff member is evidence of the Right Prime Minister's specific sphere of influence and the Right Prime Minister's crime of colluding with the enemy at the border."

"And he made it very clear that the right prime minister had ordered the border personnel to start taking action, and the news was sent out just an hour ago."

Ah Cha also spoke very seriously.

How could she not see that the staff was threatening her with the right prime minister's activities at the border. It is said that when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. In her opinion, the motivation of the staff to surrender is an issue that she urgently needs to figure out now.

"Zuoqiuge, please send someone to find out what happened in the Right Prime Minister's army these days? The staff of the Right Prime Minister even betrayed their master and came to surrender."

Ah Cha was still a little confused about the strange behavior of the right minister's staff.

It’s really inappropriate.

She would believe anyone who surrendered, but she could not believe the most trusted person next to the right minister.

The hard times in the past were over, and she couldn't figure out any reason why her staff could surrender.

Thinking of this, Ah Cha felt that she should still ask the left prime minister.

After all, the Prime Minister on the Left has been an old enemy with the Prime Minister on the Right for many years, and he must know the Prime Minister on the Right and the people around him very well.

With this idea in mind, she didn't stay long and found the left prime minister when she returned home.

The first time she saw the Left Prime Minister, she handed over the surrender letter and the token from the Right Prime Minister's staff.

"Prime Minister Left, this was sent by his staff after Right Prime Minister left."

"I want you to see if there is any fraud in it?"

The Prime Minister Zuo took the letter with confusion, but returned it to Ah Cha with a smile on his face.

"My Lady Goddess, I have already seen it. There is no fraud in it."

Ah? ? ?

Ah Cha was completely confused now.

No, her intuition has always been very accurate, so she wouldn't misunderstand an enemy staff member's intention to surrender.

Just at this time, Zuoqiuge came.

"Goddess, I have found out that this surrender is the result of discussions between the right prime minister's staff and the deputy general."

"They really couldn't stand the stupid behavior of the Right Prime Minister after he came to the fiefdom, and they also realized that the Right Prime Minister's situation was over. In addition, the officers and soldiers in the Right Opposite Army and even themselves were not good."

"That's why they decided to come and surrender."

Ah Cha was fascinated by what he heard.

She had never thought that there were so many reasons behind it.

However, she had not had much contact with the right prime minister in the past, and she did not know whether to accept their surrender, so she could only turn her attention to the left prime minister for help.

"My Lady Goddess, I suggest you accept their surrender." The Left Prime Minister stroked his beard and explained with a smile, "The right Prime Minister's staff are not very good either. If you don't accept their surrender, they will Cause some new trouble."

Ah Cha understood the truth, but she also had doubts.

"What if after accepting their surrender, they turn around and stab us in the back?"

Now the process of accepting people from any group is very simple, that is, after confirming their sincerity, directly open the gate of the city to them.

When they enter the city, it will be like fish swimming into the sea. No one can say what they will do in the city.

Moreover, he was about to return to Beijing. By then, the situation in the fiefdom would be too complicated and it would be extremely detrimental to them.

Prime Minister Zuo had already anticipated her concerns.

"So the goddess doesn't have to personally take over their surrender. This matter will be handled by me."

Ok?

This time Ah Cha was not fooled by the meaning of Zuo Xiang's words.

"But I am still in the fiefdom, and they have made it clear that they want to surrender to me. If there is a temporary replacement, will they agree?"

Zuo Xiang smiled and shook his head.

"I have already arrived at the fiefdom, and what will follow must be His Majesty's decree to call the goddess back to the capital. We just need to announce their surrender first and make it known to everyone."

"When they really want to surrender, the goddess will naturally return to the capital in a hurry because of His Majesty's summons. Naturally, I am the only one who can accept their surrender."

This time Ah Cha finally understood.

The co-author Zuo Xiang is preparing to trick them.

Roast them on the stove first, and then pretend to give them a way out when they can't escape.

When there is no other choice, this retreat will of course be the option they have to make.

And since the left and right prime ministers have been dealing with each other for so many years, it must be impossible for his staff and those people to do evil under his nose.

In this way, a relatively perfect closed loop is formed.

"Zuoqiuge, please send someone to spread the news now, saying that I have received the surrender of the right minister's staff. I am very happy and am preparing to hold a banquet for them to wash away their dust."

After listening to her instructions, Zuo Xiang also took out a golden scroll from his luggage.

"My Lady Goddess, please keep this, maybe you can use it."

Ah Cha stared at the scroll for several seconds, and after taking it and opening it, he was even more stunned.

"Prime Minister Zuo, you..."

"These are just external things. The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. The wordless Sacred Heart given by His Majesty can save our lives at critical times, or even kill us."

"Instead of being so unpredictable about life and death, it is better to use it now, which can be regarded as making the best use of it."

"Even if His Majesty blames him later, we can still have a suitable excuse."

Ah Cha was silent for a while and said solemnly: "Prime Minister Zuo, this is too valuable. You should keep it and take it out when needed."

You know, what the Prime Minister Zuo gave was a wordless edict.

This kind of imperial edict means that the emperor did not write a word on it, but the person holding this imperial edict can fill in any content that does not endanger the throne and national affairs.

All the contents filled in will be regarded as a formal imperial edict, and everyone must obey it.

But there is one thing. This wordless edict can only be used once. Once used this time, it will be invalidated immediately.

This was specially given by the Dog Emperor many years ago in recognition of Zuo Xiang's meritorious service in the court. It was originally meant to be kept at home to protect his descendants, but he did not expect that it was brought to the fief.

Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Prime Minister Zuo said nothing more and silently took the imperial edict back, but made up his mind.

But what none of them expected was that at the same time that Acha was about to accept the surrender of the Right Prime Minister's staff, Jinlan began to operate beside the Dog Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Left Chancellor should have arrived at the fiefdom and started taking over affairs now. Why are you still frowning?"

"I don't know if it's because the goddess has been away from Beijing for too long or something else, but I always feel too tired these days and get sleepy easily."

A smile flashed quickly in Jinlan's eyes.

It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all to get it.

The effect she wanted was achieved immediately.

She put on a worried face and went to the Dog Emperor's side.

"Your Majesty, is this the end of the divine power exerted by the goddess?"

"I remember that the goddess has been away from Kyoto for almost twenty days, so the effects of the divine power and the pills may not be as good as before."

The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, "I guess this is also the reason."

"But now the goddess is far away in the fiefdom, and the handover of affairs with the left prime minister may take some time. She cannot return to the capital to re-exercise her divine power for me for the time being."

When the emperor said this, Jinlan knew that her hard work over the past few days had paid off.

Since Prime Minister Zuo left the capital, she secretly ordered people to increase the dose of chronic poison given to the Dog Emperor.

Today's dog emperor is rarely awake for only a few hours a day.

Other times I am either drowsy or too tired to move.

Just like his current state.

"Your Majesty, I thought that since the left prime minister's fiefdom was in charge, the goddess didn't need to spend too much time handing over the affairs. Your dragon body is important, so it's better to issue an order to recall the goddess to the capital."

Her words can be said to have hit the heart of the Dog Emperor.

He was more worried about his health than anyone else, and he had long been thinking of finding an excuse to recall Ah Cha urgently.

Now that Jin Lan had figured out a reason for himself, he naturally wanted to summon Ah Cha as soon as possible.

"Lan'er, go help me draft an imperial edict."

"The imperial edict says that I feel that the holy body is not in good condition, and I need the goddess to return to Beijing as soon as possible to cast a spell on me."

With the goal achieved, Jinlan immediately went to write the imperial edict.

The Dog Emperor was really anxious. After writing the imperial edict, he just asked the courier to rush it over eight hundred miles away.

So when Ah Cha received this imperial edict, it happened to be just before she had originally planned to accept the surrender of the Right Prime Minister's staff and the remaining troops.

"Goddess, the emperor has sent an imperial edict."

The moment he heard the imperial edict, Ah Cha subconsciously turned his attention to the left prime minister, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

This is quite good. The Dog Emperor saved them an opportunity to use the wordless edict.

Ah Cha was secretly happy in her heart, but the look on her face was extremely serious.

"Well, just read it."

This was what she said to the messenger.

"By the grace of heaven, the emperor issued an edict, saying: I am not in good health, and I need the goddess to return to the capital as soon as possible to exert her divine power for me. I ask the goddess to return to the capital immediately within one hour after receiving this imperial edict. The remaining affairs of the fiefdom will be handed over to me. With Zuo Xiang, I appreciate this!"

For a moment, Ah Cha was dumbfounded.

These don't sound like much, but why does she feel that this is like a time bomb sent by the Dog Emperor? It's the kind that will detonate if she doesn't leave the fiefdom for an hour.

"I know, please go and wait."

She did have to leave at the time stipulated by the imperial edict, but she still had too many things to finish.

"Prime Minister Zuo, while you are here, I will tell you the situation of each force in the fiefdom. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just send the message through Hualuo Tower..."

She explained a lot in detail again, but the right minister's staff and deputy general worked diligently to pack up all the remaining supplies in the army.

"Lieutenant, everything is ready."

The deputy general exchanged glances with his staff and gave the order, "Then we will rush to the city. The goddess has prepared a dust-washing banquet to welcome us."

At this time, they didn't know that accidents would often come unexpectedly.

Just like now, they were marching in such excitement that they didn't even notice the carriage passing by halfway.

"Goddess, we just left the fiefdom, are they really not going to cause trouble?"

Zuoqiuge was really sweating in his heart.

He was really worried that the docile old man of the left prime minister would not be able to withstand these people.

Ah Cha saw through his thoughts at a glance and smiled faintly.

"You still have some confidence in the left prime minister."

"No matter how scheming the right prime minister's staff is, haven't they never defeated the left prime minister in the court for so many years?"

"You have to believe that it is easy for the left prime minister to control them."

Don't worry, Ah Cha's words hit the nail on the head.

After meeting them, the group walked to the city gate in a mighty manner.

The left prime minister had already been waiting for them.

"Everyone is too tired from the journey. The goddess has ordered people to prepare a dust-cleansing banquet. Please remove your armor and move into the city."

As soon as Zuo Xiang said these words, many soldiers followed suit and took off the weapons and armor around them.

But the staff and deputy generals did not do anything.

In particular, the staff looked around the city gate and looked at the left prime minister with disdain.

"Lord Zuo Xiang is really good at joking. We came here to surrender to the goddess, but why haven't we seen the goddess show up yet?"

"It's unfortunate that you are here. More than an hour ago, His Majesty made an urgent call and asked the goddess to leave for Beijing within an hour."

"The goddess who received the imperial edict has already left before burning incense."

Every time the left prime minister said another word, the expressions of the staff became gloomier.

He actually didn't know that the goddess had left the fief.

But the left prime minister seemed not to notice at all and added another sentence.

"But speaking of which, you might have met the goddess's carriage and horses on the road."

It's okay if the left prime minister didn't say anything, but when he did, the staff's anger couldn't be concealed at all.

"Left Prime Minister, you——"

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, the deputy general grabbed his sleeve, shook his head slightly and whispered in a low voice.

"I did see the goddess's chariot and horses."

The staff glared at him, but did not directly attack him due to the occasion.

But he was not so polite to the left prime minister.

"Prime Minister Zuo, we have come to surrender to the goddess. If you interfere, don't blame us for going back on our word."

As the aide spoke, he waved his hand to signal the troops behind him to get into position.

He was actually betting and testing, betting that Zuo Xiang, who had just taken over the fiefdom affairs, had no absolute leadership over these matters.

But he didn't expect that the left prime minister would respond with a contemptuous smile.

"Come here, come and cleanse the dust for them!"

His words were polite, but a large group of soldiers suddenly emerged from behind the Prime Minister.

Not only were there soldiers behind him, but many soldiers also rushed out from both sides of the city gate, surrounding all the men brought by his staff.

The Prime Minister Zuo smiled slightly apologetically.

"The goddess left in a hurry and didn't have time to explain too many things. However, the goddess made some explanations before your surrender and ordered you to be well entertained."

"I'm old, so I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you well, so I've hired a lot of soldiers to help. I ask for your understanding."

"Everything in the city is ready, please come into the city."

Entering the city?

No, they have all been surrounded, and the only option left for them now is to enter the city.

But entering the city is a fear of the unknown, and not entering the city will be a dead end.

The staff member had a dark face and immediately wanted to refute, but was unexpectedly stopped by the deputy general.

The lieutenant general saluted respectfully, "Master Zuo Xiang said, I will lead the soldiers into the city now."
