I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 888 The Queen is a Farmer's Daughter
Xia Fengxiang, who has Su Changan by her side, and the empress, who does not have Su Changan by her side, are two different people.

In fact, all the civil and military officials in the court were very clear about this.

Even they, when the Queen was around, were a little more relaxed, but when the Queen was not around, their expressions changed.

So at that moment in the hall, Xia Fengxiang still seemed to have not changed, but his aura of majesty without even getting angry was clearly visible to everyone in the hall.

The empress merely reached out to take the tea bowl, and everyone in the hall's expressions tensed.

Mu Xu currently sat at the front seat on the right, next to Wei Xuancheng, Du Yu and others.

Mu Xu glanced around the hall and saw no one spoke, so he kicked Wei Xuancheng.

Wei Xuancheng did not look at Mu Xu, but stood up and bowed before speaking: "The mistakes in leniency and severity are all our fault, but we never thought that the five boys of the Shu King's family actually colluded with the evil Huanxi Temple and even colluded with Mobei. Your Majesty, Wen Daoji and Zhu Huang are the most clear about all the affairs in Shu. I think we should write to them immediately."

Xia Fengxiang said: "Just sit down and talk, it's not a court meeting."

Wei Xuancheng was frightened, and after bowing deeply, he had no intention of going back to sit. The emperor allowed him to sit to give him face, but sitting or not was a matter of duty as a minister, especially when he stood up to speak.

Xia Fengxiang drank the tea, put the tea bowl back, and said, "I didn't tell them, but I wrote a letter to Xia Tingyu. I think Xia Tingyu has already arrived in Shu, but the news of what to do and how to do it should be on the way."

At this time, Wang Shao stood up and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, why don't you thoroughly investigate whether Lushan in the Western Regions is the King of Shu before the chaos breaks out in Mobei? If we can cut the Gordian knot and put an end to it, we will not be attacked from all sides in Daxia."

Hearing this, everyone looked at General Wang.

Today in the hall, Wang Shao is qualified to speak due to his military rank.

But just after Wang Shao opened his mouth, Meng Qin scolded in a low voice: "Sit down, you have no right to speak!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shao clasped his fists towards His Majesty and Meng Qin, then returned to his seat.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Wang Shao.

It was not the first time that Wang Shao met Xia Fengxiang, but it was the first time that he met the Empress without the Empress by her side.

He raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and for some reason, looking into the empress's eyes, he inexplicably felt something and immediately lowered his head.

Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Everyone sitting here today can speak and express their own opinions. This is what I said after I informed everyone of those things."

Meng Qin heard this and bowed, "It's my fault."

Xia Fengxiang waved his hand and said, "The people of Mobei will not give us this time. If I were the Queen Mother of Mobei, I would have summoned the leaders of all tribes and the commanders of all armies to their royal court, which was built in imitation of the imperial capital of Great Xia, to discuss the plan of moving south before summer. Moreover, they must open at least one gate before summer turns to autumn, otherwise their food supply will be in trouble."

Zhang Gu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if it is really the King of Shu, when they attack, I am afraid that not only the King of Shu, but also the Western Regions and Tubo will rise together. And just now you told us that the Tuoba people, Tiele people and the Shulü royal family are not on good terms in the Mobei royal court. And according to what we have learned before, there are also disagreements within the Shamanism because of the Mobei princess becoming a shaman. If you let Helian Qin go back now, will they cause internal strife?"

Du Yu shook his head: "Impossible."

After saying this, he bowed to the empress and looked at Zhang Gu: "Master Zhang, although I know very little about the King of Shu and many things in the Western Regions, I know the people of Mobei very well. Those people have coveted our Great Xia land for too long. It is a dream engraved in their bones to march south of the Yangtze River. Now they have destroyed the Uighurs and incorporated the remaining hundreds of thousands of Uighur soldiers and horses. As a result, the morale of the various armies in Mobei has been high, and the supplies, soldiers, and food are all abundant. No one can shake their determination to march south."

As he spoke, Du Yu turned around and looked at the empress: "As you thought, I also believe that the Mobei Queen Mother has definitely gathered people to discuss the southward march, especially after we showed off our artillery and muskets, they can't wait any longer."

Zhang Gu frowned: "Even if someone inside wants to rebel? Or will they just kill Helian Bobo directly?"

Du Yu shook his head, "Master Zhang, you are right, but they don't care whether there are people who want to rebel. It was the case in the past, and it will be even more so in the future. In Mobei, the strong are the kings. If you have the strength to rebel and succeed, then why not follow you? After the death of the former king of Mobei, the Queen Mother of Mobei, Shulü Ping, should have apologized, but she cut off her wrist to appease the tribes while mutinying in public. No one said anything, even those veteran generals such as Heba Duba, Erzhu Xinxing, Mozhe Dati and others were all loyal to Shulü Ping for this reason."

"Besides, whether it's that woman or Helian Bobo's Tuoba people, going south is the most urgent matter. They will never care about those things and delay their journey south. The most important thing is..."

At this point, Du Yu looked at Zhang Gu with a serious expression: "They must want to lead the army south quickly, because they are not stupid. Xiao Podi must have told us about the artillery and muskets when he escaped. Even if they can't say anything, they know very well that these two things are what they want to make. The longer we delay, the more we will have, so we must go south as soon as possible."

Zhang Gu frowned and nodded slightly. He really didn't know much about the people of Mobei, but he felt that what Du Yu said made sense.

Mao Xiaoxian stood up and said, "They are discussing, but the emperor and queen of our Great Xia have already been in Yan. They are well prepared, and so are we. Food and grass from all over have already been shipped to the border passes, and there are also soldiers from various armies accompanying them. Moreover, your majesty and your majesty are personally at the national gate. The morale of the soldiers is greatly boosted, and the people are in high spirits. Moreover, your majesty and your majesty have foresight and have prepared so much money to reward the three armies. Those jackals are fierce, but why should we be afraid of Great Xia! Moreover, the blood feud of the people of Yan must be repaid with blood!"

"And everyone knows that we are going to go to war, especially those countries in the Western Regions that are both snakes and rats. Your Majesty ordered Lord Du, Marshal Meng, and Marshal Li to lead the army to destroy Goguryeo and Korea. This is a brilliant move. General Qin led the army to destroy the 30,000-man camp in Mobei with extraordinary ease. This news has been sent to Mobei by the Shen Ce Mansion, and their morale in Mobei will definitely be affected. As for the King of Shu, if he really does collude with foreign races like the 'Lushan' during the Xuanzong period and tries to disrupt the mountains and rivers of Daxia again, and even wants to be like Xia Chenfeng who forgets his ancestors, I, Mao Xiaoxian, am willing to go to Shu and lead the way."

As he spoke, Mao Xiaoxian bowed to Xia Fengxiang.

The voice was high-pitched, and everyone felt helpless as they looked at the Minister of War, who was famous for his bad temper.

Mu Xu even smiled.

Li Xuance stood up and said, "Master Mao, we will fight the war. If the King of Shu wants to do that, Zhu Huang will go there in person, and it won't be our turn. At worst, Wen Daoji will never agree."

As he spoke, Li Xuance looked at His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can send out guards to keep a close eye on the situation, but I'm afraid it will be too late to wait for news from the spies."

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "As for the war, you guys can make the decision. I don't understand, so I won't ask."

Li Xuance clasped his fists and knew what to do.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Mao Xiaoxian and continued, "I think it would be a good thing if that 'Lushan' appeared again."

Everyone looked at the empress.

Xia Fengxiang put his elbow on the armrest of the chair, his face against the back of his hand, and said, "My grandfather was wise in the first half of his life and created the greatest prosperity of Daxia, but he did those things in his later years, which led to the chaos. Daxia's history books will not forget it. Now 'Lushan' has appeared again, and ended up dying at the hands of my Daxia soldiers and horses, and he has trampled on the countries in the Western Regions. The humiliation in Daxia's history books has been washed away by my own hands. Isn't it just right?"

Everyone heard this and knew what the emperor intended.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible.

But the problem is
Matters of military formations are not something that can be dealt with in just a few words.

Xia Fengxiang went on to say: "I have mentioned this matter to Marshal Zhao. He said that as long as that An Lushan shows up, he will return to Luoan with An Lushan's head. I believe him." Everyone looked at each other and nodded. In fact, they had the confidence because of Zhao Wuxiu, the Great Xia cavalry, and the muskets and artillery!

Xia Fengxiang continued, "Xia Tingyu told me that Lushan is definitely not my thirteenth uncle."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Xuancheng immediately spoke up: "The King of Shu has wolfish ambitions. Although the King of Shu has never appointed a crown prince, everyone knows that the princess must be the only candidate for the crown prince. Therefore, this matter cannot be arbitrarily decided based on trust. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Yu Yunwen also spoke up, "All the people in the land are subjects of the king. All the officials of Daxia are from the court and are subjects of your majesty. However, Shu only recognizes the king of Shu and not the emperor. Your majesty should think twice about this because of the family relationship. With Xia Chenfeng's example, your majesty should not act on emotion."

Xia Fengxiang was silent for a moment and then said, "Xun Kuang."

Upon hearing this, Xun Kuang immediately walked out and bowed respectfully.

Xia Fengxiang said, "Write down everything we discussed here today and send it to Zhu Huang and Wen Daoji. Send another copy to the capital and send it to Su Wenqing."

As he spoke, Xia Fengxiang stood up and said, "Write a letter to the King of Shu in my name and ask him why the people of Shu live such a hard life."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the empress.

The Empress said, “You may not know the name Li Ziyu.”

Everyone looked at the empress. Among them, Wei Xuancheng and several people who came from the capital actually knew Li Ziyu. After all, the incident of scolding Mi Wanjun in the Imperial College that day was still mentioned by people in the capital today.

Xia Fengxiang continued, "I actually thought about letting Zhu Huang lead the army into Shu and put an end to it all! But the queen told me that fighting is fighting, governing is governing, and military strategists are only responsible for fighting, while Confucianists are responsible for governing."

Hearing this, Du Yu was stunned, and even Meng Qin couldn't help but look at Du Yu.

Because Lord Du also said something like this.

Xia Fengxiang went on to say, "Li Ziyu was a Jinshi who passed the imperial examination in the second place last year. He is a straight-forward person. I summoned him and talked to him about some things. I asked him if he was willing to go to Shu to be an official and see the lives of the people in Shu for me. In the past few months, he has been secretly telling me the real situation of the people in Shu. I cannot forget that the people in that place are my people of Great Xia because of the King of Shu, nor can I ignore the people there because the officials there do not recognize me and Great Xia. It is easy to conquer Shu and it is also easy to invite the King of Shu to Beijing, but what should I do with the people there? They are not foreigners, they are my people of Great Xia."

When everyone heard this, they looked at the empress in silence.

What is a hero? There are always a few things that no one else in the world can do, but I can.

What is a sage? There are always a few things that everyone in the world can do but I cannot.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.

The sage is not benevolent, and regards the common people as dogs.

The death of ten thousand people is just a number; the death of one hundred thousand or a million people is also just a number. No one can stop it; only a saint can control it.

Xia Fengxiang looked at everyone, "I know what you are worried about. It's nothing more than worrying about the invasion of people from Mobei and the rebellion of the King of Shu. There are the Western Regions, Tubo, and Mobei, and we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. In fact, I am also worried, so I asked the Tiangong craftsmen of Shen Ce Mansion to secretly send hundreds of artillery and two thousand muskets to Zhu Huang. If the war is unavoidable, it will naturally start. When the time comes, bombard Jiange and blast open Yizhou. The sin will be borne by me. The history books will also record that I, Xia Fengxiang, stained my hands with blood. If someone gives me a bad posthumous title because of this incident after my death, it doesn't matter. But even if it is just a possibility, I want to try it. Can I invite the King of Shu to the capital without using force?"

Everyone in the hall looked at the empress with complicated expressions.

Xia Fengxiang continued, "I am ashamed. Although I keep saying that I am doing this for the people, I don't know what it means to cause great suffering. But my queen has experienced it herself. Her family lives outside Jizhou City. The people in the village are very good. I went there and found that some of them survived. When they talked about the war, they only thought about staying alive."

"Yan was in turmoil, and the Queen's family left one after another. His mother took him and his brother to flee. Like all the refugees, they all wanted to flee to Yuzhou and the capital because it was safe there and there were no Mobei soldiers. Later, only the Queen reached the outskirts of the capital, and I happened to rescue her. On the way to Yan, I asked the Queen to take me to see the route he took to escape, and to see the blood-stained clothes he had hidden. The clothes are now in my and his room."

The people in the hall who didn't know the situation looked at Xia Fengxiang with bewilderment, because some of them didn't understand what His Majesty was saying.
Isn’t the Empress the eldest granddaughter of Grand Tutor Su who was raised in the palace since childhood?
How did she become a Yandi village girl who escaped from Yandi?
Xia Fengxiang looked at the expressions of the crowd and said, "Xia Chenfeng spread the news earlier, saying that the queen was a girl from Yandi Village. It was actually true, but the queen was too outstanding at the time and wrote a few poems. In addition, he was very good-looking, so no one believed it."

Everyone looked at the empress, blinking, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Queen?

A refugee village girl?

To be honest, it is really difficult to connect the two together.

Especially the current queen is so extraordinary and not like an ordinary person in the world.
She's actually a village girl?
The most important thing is that, after going through such a thing, the queen doesn't look like...
Everyone was shocked.

I admire Su Changan even more.

Xia Fengxiang looked at the incredulous expressions of the crowd, but he was not surprised. After all, this matter was quite incredible.

just
In fact, she had a conversation with Su Changan about the clothes.

At that time, Su Changan asked her with a smile, "Do you know why when you saw me, my clothes were dirty but looked fine."

Xia Fengxiang shook his head, he definitely didn’t know.

Su Changan said, "I thought the clothes were my shroud, because at that time I didn't know if I could survive."

Su Changan pinched Xia Fengxiang's cheek and said with a smile, "But I'm lucky to have met you."

……

The atmosphere is different from that in the hall.

Su Changan looked at Xuan Xin and said, "I asked you how many people are hiding in Jinbo Mountain, and you said you didn't know. Then I asked you how to get rid of the evil worms in their bodies, and you said you didn't know. Then I will ask you a simple question. I asked you how many people in the Shamanism were dissatisfied with Aleya, and you said you didn't know. So what do you know?"

Xuanxin's lips moved.

But you haven't spoken yet.
Shentu Kuyue blinked, held the knife to Xuanxin's neck, and looked at Su Changan: "I don't know what to do, just kill him."
