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

The next day, early morning.

After the routine etiquette of monarchs and ministers, Liu Dongyang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, took the lead to stand up.

"Your Majesty, I have a copy."

The empress nodded slightly: "Please speak to Liu Aiqing."

Liu Dongyang held the fluorene board in both hands, bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Wanli voice transmission sent to the barren state a few days ago has received a reply. He refused to participate in the New Yuan Ceremony for reasons, and... according to reliable sources, the Demon Empress and her remnants have entered Motian City, and are now in the City Lord's Mansion."

"Gu Simiao not only did not obey the imperial court's order, but took down all the remnants of the wanted demon queen, and also welcomed them into Motian City, making the barren state a shelter for the demon queen, and her intention to seek rebellion was obvious. Jie, now it is basically certain that this beast has completely betrayed the imperial court and brought most of the Cang Ling Army to the Demon Queen."

As soon as these words came out, most of the civil and military courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty froze almost at the same time.

Almost every one of the eight major Zhu kingdom generals of the Great Xia is the pillar of the Dingguo that maintains the Great Xia court. Although the generals of the Zhu kingdom have always been stationed in all directions and have no involvement in the court, but because they are related to the great importance of the stability of the Great Xia, therefore, Even if they are not in the court, they still have a detached position.

The generals of the Zhu Kingdom are not hereditary, but the capable ones. Every Zhu country general is a strong man in the world, at least they have the state of returning to the one realm of great perfection, and they are definitely the existence of martial arts.

Although it is not comparable to the special existence of the Holy King, which cannot be measured by the realm and is not within the routine, it is also a ceiling-level powerhouse that exists routinely in the Central Continent.

And Gu Simiao is a peerless figure in the barren state at the age of twenty-three.

She chose to fall to the demon queen and betray the imperial court, which was not only a huge loss but also a great threat to the empress who had just taken over the dynasty.

After all, the barren state was too far away from Luo Jing, so far away that Jiang Chengdao didn't dare to take the risk of the evil spirits in the holy realm getting out of control and break through the territory, and personally lead troops to quell the turmoil in the barren state.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Holy King Cangming to stay in Luojing all the time to help her control Sili, the center of the Great Xia Empire.

Thinking of this, the empress' complexion became more and more serious.

"Your Majesty, since the thief Gu Simiao has rebelled, it is estimated that the entire barren state has fallen into the hands of the demon queen. There will be no barriers in the northwest of Daxia. The demon queen is very likely to take advantage of the situation and send troops. With the help of Gu Simiao and Cang Ling With the strength of the army, they sent troops to attack the Xichuan Province, Hexi Province, and Liangzhou Province that bordered the barren state. Moreover, the troops in these three provinces have been stationed in peace for a long time, and their armaments have been relaxed. I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the Cangling Army's advance... ..."

Liu Dongyang continued to report the matter, and told the Empress one by one the information collected by the court through various means about the movement of the barren state and military officers who had changed in various places, and stated that the current situation of the court is not optimistic.

After a while, Liu Dongyang finished all the content on the fluorene board.

Then he bowed again, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent matter. All the arrangements must be completed before the Demon Queen makes any moves, and continue to increase troops to the three provinces, strengthen the defenses of the passes in various places, and make sure that the three provinces are not lost, and then make plans!"

The Empress thought for a moment, then nodded, and said calmly: "What Liu Aiqing said is true, let's do what Liu Aiqing said."

Liu Dongyang bowed and retreated.

Immediately afterwards, as soon as Liu Dongyang returned to his original position, Su Wenbing, the left servant of the Ministry of War behind him, came out suddenly.

"Your Majesty, please kill the Gu family."

As he said that, he began to criticize the Gu family's crimes, emphasizing the disgraceful practices of the Gu family when the Demon Queen was in charge, and said that the Gu family, which has been passed down for three hundred years, was once known as "generations of loyalty" Shameless.

Moreover, according to the law of Great Xia, the crime of treason should be punished by the nine clans, with all the might of the sky.

From the moment Gu Simiao was defined as a traitor, the fate of the Gu family was almost doomed.

After Su Wenbing finished speaking, a cold look appeared on the empress's face.

"Ready to play."

After accepting Su Wenbing's request with a cold face, the empress said to the next Jiang Chengdao: "Holy king, after you come down today, you should immediately send someone to Gu's mansion to capture all the Gu family members and put them in prison. At this time nine days later...if Gu Simiao is still obsessed with his obsession, all the Gu family members will be escorted outside the Xuanji Gate and beheaded for public display!"

"promise!"

Jiang Chengdao responded quickly and neatly.

Su Wenbing also retreated.

After the matter of Huangzhou was finished, the sun outside was already high, and the warm sunlight shone in through the window sill, adding a bit of softness to the Tai Chi Hall.

However, above the court, regardless of whether the monarch or his ministers, what they said today was almost chilling.

"His Majesty!"

After a long silence, among the civil and military officials below, finally an old man with white beard and hair and dressed in purple and gold court clothes slowly walked out.

I saw his rather hunched figure walking unsteadily into the red carpet between civil and military, raised his head slightly, looked directly at the empress sitting on the dragon chair, and said in a rather hoarse voice:

"My lord, Jiang Xu, the grand lord of the Tianzong Mansion, has something to play."

Is it finally here...

The empress took a deep breath, and then looked at the elders of the royal family who bowed to her.

"What's going on with Da Zong?"

Jiang Xu slightly pressed down the fluorene board in his hand, and there was no trace of the kindness of an elder on his muddy old face at this time, but instead gave off a rather harsh feeling inexplicably.

"Chen, on behalf of my Jiang family..."

He bowed heavily, and said loudly, "Please give the engineering department to Lu Chen!"

Hearing these expected words, the Empress' expression did not change at all.

Most of the civil and military officials around Jiang Xu lifted their spirits and looked at Jiang Xu in surprise, a bit puzzled as to why this old fellow suddenly got into a fight with Lu Chen.

And it's a dead hand as soon as it comes up, leaving almost no room for it!

How much resentment does this guy have towards Lu Chen...

The empress sneered in her heart, but there was no trace of sadness or joy on her face, and she said indifferently: "The reason."

Jiang Xu looked at the fluorene board in his hand, and said loudly again: "Lu Chen is doing something wrong in Yuzhou, arbitrarily using the authority bestowed by His Majesty, bullying the guards of the two states, and forcing them to take great risks to do nothing. It’s a matter of significance, and such an absurd move as to let a warrior who doesn’t know the way of sages replace the original county magistrate, it’s not worthy of His Majesty’s trust!”

"Furthermore, this guy dared to order his subordinates to attack King Yu's personal guards, and later he even took action himself, intending to kill King Yu. If King Yu hadn't been protected by a secret treasure, he might have died under his sword on the spot."

"Even so, King Yu's hands and feet were cut off by him, and he was seriously injured. Now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."

Having said that, anger gradually welled up in his eyes, and his expression became more and more angry.

"Since the founding of Da Xia, there has never been such a villain who is so bold and dares to kill a prince. It can be seen that this man doesn't take my Jiang family seriously. If I don't kill this man, I will die Where is the majesty of the Xia royal family?"

"The royal family is the foundation of the Great Xia country, if the prestige is lost, the country's foundation will be shaken!"

"I hope that His Majesty will keep the royal family in mind, and kill this beast with all the imperial power!"

The moment the voice fell, everyone was shocked.

What?

Lu Chen killed King Yu in Yuzhou, and almost killed him?

This guy... unexpectedly doesn't even pay attention to the royal family, and even a first-rank prince, and kills as soon as he says it?

Isn't this guy too fierce? !

Everyone subconsciously looked at the empress who had always believed in Lu Chen and regarded Lu Chen as the future pillar of the country.

Although I don't know exactly what happened, but after Lu Chen got into such a catastrophe, will the empress still try to protect him as before?

Under everyone's curious eyes and Jiang Xu's strong eyes, the empress just answered two words lightly:

"No."
