Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Miaoer... Miaoer?"

Motian City, Tianxin Villa.

In the luxuriously furnished dining room.

After finally escaping from the hands of the Holy King of Cangming, the Queen Mother Zhao who was chased away by the Cangming army like a dog sat on the main seat, frowning slightly, looking not far away, Gu Simiao suddenly became dazed for some reason, and whispered A few times.

"Um…"

Gu Simiao quickly came back to her senses, then raised her head, and said apologetically to Queen Mother Zhao: "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something, and my mind was a little distracted. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

"No problem."

Empress Dowager Zhao shook her head, seemingly indifferently said: "What was Miao Er thinking just now?"

Zhao Feifan on the side also looked over.

"Weichen is thinking."

Gu Simiao's hands that were placed flat on her thighs tightened inexplicably, and her small hands pressed the white gauze skirt, grasping the white snow underneath through the silky gauze skirt, while silently suppressing the restlessness in her heart, holding back The qi and blood in the body surged violently.

His complexion quickly returned to his usual coolness, and the strange mood swings in his speech completely disappeared.

"Now the various units of the Cangling Army are ready to go, and they are ready to go to battle at any time. With the help of your coordinating help from the Queen Mother, the military supplies such as food, grass, spirit stones, and spells are almost ready. , now the time is ripe to send troops.”

She looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao calmly, and said slowly: "On the other hand, the false emperor, who first stole the power, had a difficult foundation, and there were many people who were dissatisfied. Phew, all the subjects of the world will surely gather in Jingcong and follow them to the death.”

"The fate is in the king of Qin. Even if the holy king is born, he will definitely not be able to disobey this established fate."

Speaking of this, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the little boy who was sitting next to the queen mother. When she heard what she said, she immediately raised her head. The little boy who showed a rebellious look at a young age.

"So, I believe that it's time to spread the word to the four directions and take back this world for His Royal Highness King Qin."

Hearing this, the queen mother narrowed her eyes immediately.

She stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the jade table, her five fingers tapped on it regularly, her face was full of thought, as if she was seriously considering Gu Simiao's words.

After Zhao Feifan heard Gu Simiao's clear statement, he couldn't help but look very happy, and said excitedly: "Queen Mother, my nephew thinks that Miaoer's words make sense. Queen Mother, you not only helped that woman stabilize the government for the sake of Da Xia Jiangshan , working hard for state affairs every day, but in the end she didn’t think about repaying it, and she was ungrateful, shamelessly colluding with the Holy King Cangming, and relying on external forces to drive you and all loyal ministers to death. Such actions are definitely unpopular.”

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang is your direct son of the former emperor and queen mother. As long as His Highness Qin Wang stands up and orders the world, the subjects from all over the world will definitely help. Take the imperial capital and reorganize the universe!"

Hearing this, King Qin's chin immediately raised a bit, his face was full of color.

"Queen, my son thinks that General Gu and his wife are right, so let's send troops immediately."

At this banquet, Xia Houyan and other hard-core followers of the Queen Mother almost gathered together. Seeing that the Queen Mother was thinking, and Gu Simiao, the core figure, made it clear that he would send troops to counterattack, some people immediately became excited.

Although it was safe for the time being, they didn't want to stay in the barren state, a ghostly place ravaged by blizzard all day long.

Compared with Luo Jing's colorful world, this place is simply hell.

How could they stand it?

They can't wait to send troops back to Luojing immediately, and go to the flower boat beside Luoshui to meet the beautiful woman.

It's just that their weight is too light. Although they are qualified to be seated, they are not qualified to take the initiative to speak.

But Xia Houyan and other confidantes who are qualified to express their opinions, like the Queen Mother Zhao, frowned in thought, raised their heads from time to time, and looked at Gu Simiao's complexion without any trace.

After a while, Empress Dowager Zhao frowned, and withdrew her imperceptible gaze from Gu Simiao's face.

"Since joining the army, Miaoer has led the Cangling Army to defeat the foreign iron cavalry many times, severely injured the Rouran and other tribes, and made great achievements for the imperial court. He is an undisputed peerless general. In terms of military affairs, Miaoer's Opinions and judgments must be extremely accurate.”

She smiled slightly and withdrew her hand, with a look of great trust in Gu Simiao.

"Since Miaoer said so, sending troops at this time must be the best time to take back the world."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Zhao Feifei's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly responded: "The Queen Mother is wise!"

After a while, other people also bowed their hands to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is wise!"

The matter of dispatching troops was settled like this.

Then the Empress Dowager said: "I'm not good at military affairs, so I won't fight in front of Miaoer. How Miaoer plans to act, what needs I have, and how I need my support. You don't need to worry about it, just tell me."

After a pause, she turned her head to look at Zhao Feifan, showing a kind smile, and said gently: "You are Feifei's fiancee, and the future mistress of my natal family. My son should be extraordinary in front of this palace, don't worry too much, this palace has always been lenient and benevolent to my nephew and close relatives, and never harshly criticized."

Hearing this, Zhao Feifei couldn't help but smiled smugly.

A peerless beauty like Gu Simiao, who is both talented and beautiful, just being able to win her heart and get engaged to her is enough to make people proud for a lifetime.

This is something that only a proud man like him can do.

Although it has been rejected many times, as long as the result is good.

Not only was Gu Simiao willing to marry him, but in order to be worthy of his status, she voluntarily left Luojing and traveled thousands of miles to the barren state to join the army, step by step becoming one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms with her strong strength and outstanding achievements.

When the Empress Dowager Zhao lost power and they were hunted down by the Cangming army, she accepted them without hesitation, provided them with a place to settle down, and then ran around for the orthodox affairs of the King of Qin...

With such deep affection and righteousness, how can we not let him be proud?

If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for...

The only pity is that this beautiful woman is too rigid, she can't do anything beyond the wedding day, she won't even touch her.

No amount of persuasion, even begging, was of any use.

As for using some... um... that kind of means, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but considering her strength at that time, who was already in the Void Realm, he couldn't bear to be ruthless.

Hmm... In short, I just don't want to make her sad.

Gu Simiao doesn't know how to read minds, so she naturally doesn't know what the fiancé beside her is thinking.

Sensing the empress dowager's obvious closeness, her eyes moved slightly, showing a slightly moved look.

"Well, Miao'er knows."

After these words fell, the dinner soon became more enjoyable.

After the dinner, everyone did not leave, but after removing the drinks, they began to discuss the matter of raising troops to prepare for the upcoming war.

After all, it is a big deal to counterattack the court that has the protection of the holy land.

It is impossible to decide various arrangements related to it with a random slap on the forehead.

It wasn't until the moon and stars were thin and the thick night shrouded the white land that Tianxin Villa gradually returned to calm.

"Miao'er, I'll take you home."

In front of the gate of Tianxin Villa, Zhao Feifan rubbed his hands and said to Gu Simiao.

As he said that, he prepared to let the guards prepare the horses.

However, Gu Simiao shook her head.

"No, I'll just go back by myself."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhao Feifan to speak again, she immediately got on the horse and clamped the horse's belly tightly.

hiss~

The snow-white unicorn suddenly raised its front hooves high, and the moment it landed heavily, it hit the ground with great force. With the help of strong rebounding force, its tall body jumped several feet, and within a few breaths, it Disappeared in the endless wind and snow.

Zhao Feifei was left alone, feeling lost.

at the same time.

On the main building of Tianxin Villa, the Empress Dowager looked at Gu Simiao's receding back with her hands behind her back.

click...

Accompanied by the sound of crisp footsteps, Xiahou walked over slowly and bowed to her.

"Queen."

"Um."

Queen Mother Zhao nodded slightly.

"Here we come."

Xia Houyan leaned forward, looked at the direction Empress Dowager Zhao was looking at, and soon noticed the white shadow galloping towards the City Lord's Mansion.

In the next second, he narrowed his eyes inexplicably.

"Queen Mother, then General Gu...do you really trust her completely?"

Hearing this, the corners of the Empress Dowager Zhao's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Of course."

She slowly stretched out her hand and gently pushed away the white snow on the railing in front of her.

"Miao'er is my nephew and daughter-in-law. She is from my family. I have always trusted my family and never doubted it."

The moment the voice fell, Xia Houyan's eyes moved slightly as if he felt something in his heart.

"I see."

He nodded with a clear face, then smiled, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm overthinking."

"It's not a bad thing to be overwhelmed."

Empress Dowager Zhao leaned her upper body slightly, put her hands on the railing, watched the increasingly intense wind and snow in the distance, and said calmly:

"It's a real bad thing for a mediocre person like Lu Chen who has no brains to gain trust because of the emotions of the superiors, and then get lucky to become an important minister who can influence the government."

The king of Qin, Jiang Chengyun, looked up at his mother ignorantly.

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

Queen Mother Zhao shook her head slightly.

"nothing."

Xia Houyan said: "Queen Mother, according to reports from spies, the Cangming Army has been active recently, with heavy troops deployed in Huguan, Suzhou, and Tongguan. Completely blocked, horses are not allowed to cross the border, and the false emperor seems to have activated the spirit-forbidden magic circle, isolating long-distance communication..."

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled coldly: "The action is very fast, is there any news about the Holy King Cangming?"

"The last news came that..."

Xia Houyan said in a deep voice: "The Holy King Cangming has not appeared in the court for many days, and he is probably not in Luojing anymore."

"Is it?"

Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems that there is not much time left for us."

Xia Houyan nodded silently.

When I was in Luojing back then, the scene when hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops were defeated by the Xuanjia army led by the invincible Sacred King Cangming came to my mind again.

The almost invincible feeling loomed in my heart, bringing a burst of unforgettable fear.

The tall body couldn't help trembling slightly.

Empress Dowager Zhao said again: "Over there, Cangling Army, how is our contact going?"

Speaking of this topic, Xia Houyan smiled inexplicably.

"all the best."

"hehe…"

Queen Mother Zhao smiled.

He laughed heartily, as if the bad luck and depression during this period had been swept away.

"It's good, it's good, it's good..."

She has been in charge of the world for six full years, and she, who has been firmly holding the supreme authority, naturally does not only have Luo Jing's 800,000 forbidden troops in her background.

For Gu Simiao, a niece and daughter-in-law who has become one of the Eight Great Pillars at an extremely fast speed, she still has the attention she should have.

Who made her always value her family the most~

"Queen."

The neglected Jiang Chengyun was a little unhappy, looked at Xiahouyan with a displeased face, and said loudly: "What are you and General Xiahou talking about?"

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled lightly, and said slowly, "I'm talking about a truth."

Jiang Chengyun asked directly: "What reason?"

The Empress Dowager Zhao quietly looked outside the villa, in the criss-crossing streets, the figures of the people of Motian City struggling to walk through the snow from time to time, her eyes were full of indifference, as if she was watching the ants desperately fighting against each other. It's like a battle between heaven and earth.

"A truth you must know about luck."

Jiang Chengyun questioned.

Empress Dowager Zhao stood up, then turned around, looking down at her biological son in front of her.

"Yun'er, when your mother takes back this country for you, you can officially take the position your father left for you, but before that, you have to remember one thing."

"What are you talking about?"

Empress Dowager Zhao did not speak immediately, but gestured to Xia Houyan with her eyes.

Xia Houyan immediately understood, bowed slightly to Jiang Chengyun and Queen Mother Zhao, and said in a deep voice: "It's getting late, Queen Mother and His Royal Highness King Qin should go to bed early, and I will leave."

"Well, let's go."

Xia Houyan turned and left.

When his tall figure completely disappeared at the entrance of the attic, the sound insulation technique was activated instantly.

Only then did Empress Dowager Zhao finally speak.

"Lucky, remember..."

Empress Dowager Zhao took Jiang Chengyun's little hand and walked slowly towards the case not far away.

As she walked, her voice became deeper and deeper.

Also more and more serious.

"In this world, what anyone promises to you doesn't count, only what you can decide for yourself counts."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengyun couldn't help blinking.

After thinking for a long time, he slowly replied: "Queen mother, what do you mean, even if the son-in-law becomes the emperor, he can't trust the servants under him?"

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled without saying a word.

Neither admit nor deny.

Jiang Chengyun thought he was right, he was excited at first, and then he was quite tangled and said: "But, Queen Mother, loyal and virtuous ministers like General Gu and his wife, and General Xiahou, are you still credible?"

Empress Dowager Zhao helped him to sit down, and then lay on her back on the extremely soft Yunmian recliner beside her.

"In this world, there has never been a truly virtuous minister."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of laziness in her voice.

"Worthy and unworthy, sometimes it's not up to them."

Jiang Chengyun tilted his head in confusion.

Empress Dowager Zhao shook the reclining chair, and continued to speak amidst the slight shaking: "As a ruler, you must know the way of governing your subordinates. Don't just look at the superficial loyalty, treachery, virtuousness, and mediocrity, but look at what they can do and what they can do." , what is the effect, is it good to use, can it be used.”

"A minister who is useful, easy to use and can be used is a virtuous minister, and a minister who is useless, difficult to use or even unusable is a mediocre minister."

Jiang Chengyun nodded with a half understanding.

"As the saying goes, water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, and people will change with the environment they are in. There is never a constant thing in this world. Those ministers, when they are talented, use them. If they are not, let them go. Or, kill him!"
