The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 383 Court meeting, news

There was a little smile in Gu Qingyi's eyes, she really liked Qin Shu very much.

But it can't be compared like this.

Qin Shu is a man who stands upright, the kind who can hold up half of the sky when the sky falls, how can he be compared with those weak women who have no strength to restrain a chicken?
Just thinking wildly like this, Qin Shu has already cleaned himself up neatly. For example, if it takes an hour for Her Majesty the Queen to pack up and go out, then Qin Shu may only need a cup of tea or a little less.

This morning, it really was a pleasant surprise.

But for the ministers, it was another fright.

When Qin Shu returned to the imperial capital, the ministers were almost weeping with joy. These days, Her Majesty has to change a group of people every now and then. Many people in the court have been sent home by Her Majesty for various reasons, so that's fine.

This kind of people who go home for the elderly... that is, the fate of returning home after being an official is still good. Just think about the heads that fell when His Highness just left the imperial capital, and the ministers feel sympathetic.

Now that His Highness is back, His Majesty should be a little gentler, right?

However, it does not.

Early in the morning, after the routine sentence of "playing if there is something to do, and leaving the court if there is nothing to do", the minister of the Ministry of War reported the situation on the front line, and the news of the massacre of Yunguang City finally reached the ears of the ministers in the imperial capital.

The hall was dead silent.

After being silent for a long time, the ministers finally understood what happened: "Master Chen means... His Royal Highness Zhanwang led his troops to slaughter Yunguang City?"

Chen Lin nodded: "Yes."

As soon as these words came out, the court immediately exploded.

This one said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhan Wang is so cruel and reckless, please punish him severely."

Another person immediately added a sentence: "Your Majesty, Yunguang City originally belonged to Tan Kingdom, and after the fall of Tan Kingdom, the people of Yunguang City are also my Dayan people. His Royal Highness Zhan Wang treats human life like nothing, which is against people." And, Your Majesty, please be aware."

Someone else said: "His Royal Highness Zhan Wang led the army to garrison Cangzhou, but went to Yunguang City without authorization, and did such a cruel thing, which may damage His Majesty's reputation. Please call Zhan Wang back to the capital and issue an order to appease the people."

Every word you say is demanding severe punishment of the King of War, so no one noticed that Her Majesty the Queen's eyes became colder and colder.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty either opposed it or remained silent. Anyway, no one agreed to such a thing as massacring the city.

Gu Qingyi sat on the dragon chair with her chin in her hands, and glanced at Rong Qian who was standing at the head of all the officials.

When Rong Qian received her gaze, he shivered abruptly, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, is there any secret behind this action of His Royal Highness the King of War?"

As soon as these words came out, the angry and passionate ministers calmed down instantly as if someone had poured cold water on their heads, and they all looked at Her Majesty the Queen in unison.

Her Majesty the Empress slowly changed her hand to rest her chin, and then said unhurriedly: "Hidden feelings?"

Under the tense and apprehensive eyes of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, Gu Qingyi said casually: "Of course, the King of War slaughtered the city under my order."

Ministers: "..."

The ministers didn't do anything, and stood there as if they were stupid.

Gu Qingyi said leisurely again: "The reason why I ordered the massacre of the city is because the people of Yunguang City intend to rebel and refuse to accept me as the empress. Do you have any questions?"

The ministers' knees softened, and they knelt on the ground with a plop: "I dare not wait, please calm your majesty."
