Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Only then did she notice that there were very few people from Qin Ji's "partners" in the entire court.She didn't think those people would be willing to be absent at this time.

There is only one possibility, that is, this group of people didn't let them come at all—or, most of them didn't know that there was a "meeting" in the hall.

Oh, that's right...

On the one hand, let her establish a reserve, and if the establishment of the reserve fails, on the other hand, she will engage in Qin Ji?

Laughing, judging from the current situation, messing with Qin Ji is basically the same as messing with her.In the final analysis, what they want is to deal with themselves, killing two birds with one stone.

"Oh, mentioning Taiwei, I remembered—" Now that the other party has already told me clearly, then she will stop acting, everyone might as well tear your skin apart, "When I came back, General Bai was commanding troops outside. There are also a few more military camps around Ancheng, can you explain to me what's going on?"

Chapter 39 Anger

"Your Majesty, this was specially prepared by the ministers to prevent someone from deliberately disturbing the current situation while Your Majesty was away. You also know that since you took the throne, there are countless people who do not want to see Your Majesty leading the ministers and others to create great achievements for all generations. Therefore, , The minister and others specially arranged some soldiers to wait outside the city."

"Oh, then why didn't General Bai welcome the troops in, but stayed outside the city instead?"

Xia Yuxiao asked with a smile.

"General Bai does not agree with the actions of the ministers and others, thinking that this is disrespectful to His Majesty and the Great Xia royal family—but I want to say something, the minister has been in charge of the affairs of Tai'an City for many years, and this Tai'an City has always been undercurrents. Your Majesty Leaving, there must be villains trying to make trouble, and I have no choice but to make such a bad plan."

Facing Xia Yuxiao's cross-examination, Wei Wei replied very naturally.

"okay."

She didn't directly refute the whitewashing words of the other party, but thought for a while and said vaguely.

"General Bai is for the country and the people, and the ministers admire them. However, when the ministers are preparing for a rainy day and preparing for the turmoil in advance, General Bai is very opposed to it, and also took the Taiwei's seal from Qin Taiwei's An Guogong's mansion. Come to dispatch troops to confront the ministers—Your Majesty, how about General Bai, the ministers will not mention it for the time being, this Taiwei actually let his sister who suffered from hysteria and the remnants of the Demon Cult take charge of Daxia's Great Seal, this matter is no small matter."

"Today, the ministers and others jointly wrote a memorial, and presented it to His Majesty. What Duke An is doing now is indeed out of bounds. If there is no restriction, it may cause endless harm in the future."

Wei Wei said, and presented a memorial.Xia Yuxiao waved her hand, and asked Song Jingqing to go over and take the memorial.

She roughly read the content above, and the main content was to ask for the abolition of part of the power of the Taiwei, and hoped that the Taiwei's commanding power could be broken down into several shares.

She looked at the guard.

"Everyone has their own reasons for what you said. I will make a decision as soon as possible on the establishment of the crown prince; however, I still need to discuss the matter of the Taiwei. After all, the Qin Taiwei has contributed to the court, and the military of the court is quite dependent on the Taiwei. , if you want to abolish it, you must communicate with the Taiwei."

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor. Whatever you say, the ministers will do. As long as you give an order, the soldiers outside will follow your order to escort you. Although the Taiwei has power, but in this city of Tai'an , The officials and others absolutely do not allow the Taiwei to get involved in His Majesty's throne. The establishment of the crown prince can attack the Taiwei's selfishness in terms of etiquette, so His Majesty Wanwang should make a decision as soon as possible today!"

Wei Wei simply made his words clearer.

To put it bluntly, it is "one order, and everyone will follow your order to escort you", but to put it bluntly...

"Are you reminding me?"

Xia Yuxiao heard the harsh meaning in these words, walked up to the Wei Wei, and asked in a low voice.

She said it in a low voice, but almost all the ministers around heard her words.

"I dare not, it's just that I can't see the powerful ministers in charge. The purpose of discussing political affairs here today is to find a way out for Great Xia. Otherwise, I will be ashamed to treat the late emperor well!"

"Emperor Xiandi, each of you is a former emperor, and each of you is a powerful minister, but now, it is not the Taiwei who sent troops to surround Tai'an City, but you."

Her icy eyes fixed on the Weiwei, but at this moment, she suddenly discovered something, and her expression changed suddenly.

She grabbed the collar of the guard's official uniform, and then suddenly pulled it away.

Even Wei Wei himself didn't expect this action, and even if he expected it, he was stunned by Xia Yuxiao's sudden "sneak attack".

Thus, under his coat, the soft armor was suddenly exposed.

"...I don't remember that other than Taiwei, ministers are allowed to wear soft armor in the hall."

Xia Yuxiao stroked the soft armor lightly. The excellent texture made it look extremely easy to move around, and wearing it on the body would not affect body movements at all.

"Your Majesty, the soft armor that I wear is really helpless. Because I violated the interests of individual ministers in the court, I have been in danger many times. In order to save my life, I can only do this."

"Tell me, whose interests have you offended?"

Xia Yuxiao asked, suppressing the anger in her heart.

However, before the Wei Wei in front of him could speak, Zuo and Wang suddenly interjected:

"Your Majesty, doesn't Your Majesty know whose interests have been violated? You have to explain to me that your Majesty will be satisfied if you get killed?"

"Xia Jiuzheng! Get back quickly!"

Looking at the younger brother's state, King Jinshan realized that the situation was out of control.Hastily dragged him back and pressed.

However, this guy has no intention of stopping at all:

"Your Majesty, let's take a look! Nowadays, some ministers can mobilize the army just by relying on his great seal, and the ministers have repeatedly run around and persuaded for the sake of the Great Xia, but His Majesty turned a blind eye to it! It seems that such indulgence does not make an appointment." How can Da Xia be stabilized under the restraint of the prince?"

"If it is too late to make a decision, how will your majesty and ministers face the spirit of the late emperor!?"

"Ninety percent of you shut up!"

Xia Yuxiao slapped Xia Jiuzheng across the face with a backhand.

She was really intolerable, or rather, extremely disappointed.

Everyone present, or in other words, everyone who tried to "admonish" herself, was once an obstacle in her struggle for the throne.Zuo He Wang once framed her, and Jin Shan Wang secretly persuaded the first emperor to marry her to a neighboring country to completely abolish her way of seizing the throne.

After ascending to the position, thinking about the brotherhood, she not only didn't care about them and the tactics she used to seize power, but instead crowned these people as kings. As long as they are willing to assist her in managing Daxia, she doesn't care how they used to be with her. For the enemy.Not to mention making them extremely human ministers, at least the second half of their lives can enjoy glory and wealth.

The first emperor said that he was a soldier all his life, and now that she is on the throne, she should govern the country with benevolence and treat people with kindness.

Ren, she did it; brotherhood, she took care of it.

But looking at my brothers and sisters now, it is chilling.

She regards them as relatives, but what they miss in their hearts is still the throne that might once belong to them.

If you want rights, you can.Wanting to fight for power with herself, she continued, because this is the struggle for imperial power and it is inevitable.

But it is really infuriating to use unscrupulous means for this.

For the sake of the throne, they can collude with foreign enemies, surround Tai'an City, and even make deals with some enemies that Da Xia is about to face now...

"Xia Jiuzheng, you want the throne, don't you? Or, you want the person you want to take this position." Xia Yuxiao looked at him as if she wanted to peel him alive, "If you want power, you can , I can play with you, it doesn't matter. Back then I could stand out from among you, and now I don't mind playing the game of seizing the throne with you again. But, I know what you have done... Remember, you are from Daxia , is the biological son of the emperor, and the blood of Da Xia is flowing on your body, "

Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her foot, and kicked down hard at the hateful bastard in front of her.

There was a thumping sound in the vast hall, and Zuo and Wang were kicked down. Before he even recovered from the slap just now, he was already kicked to the ground.

"So, don't turn your elbows out for me!"

No one dared to help Zuo and Wang.

In other words, facing such an emperor for the first time, everyone was at a loss.

Chapter 40 A Surprise

Xia Yuxiao was silent for a few seconds.

She sat back on her dragon chair, or rather, the Jade Throne.

Looking at the incredulous faces of Zuo and Wang, Xia Yuxiao took a long breath, then raised her hand: "Invite him down."

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and the guards next to her also cast questioning glances at her, as if they didn't dare to move around at will.

"Didn't you understand?" Xia Yuxiao didn't look at them, just stared at the ground, and then continued, "Please go down with Zuo and Wang, and hand them over to Tingwei's Mansion for punishment."

"Your Majesty, wait a minute."

At this moment, a female voice came from inside.

Princess Mu Ze Xia Qi was among the officials, Xia Yuxiao did not expect her to show up at this time.

"Your Majesty is now going to hand over Zuo and Wang to the Tingwei Mansion for a crime. I dare to ask Your Majesty. Zuo and Wang are just admonishing each other outright. Did he violate the family rules and laws of the country? If His Majesty arrests him like this, it is just a crime. Zuo The king will not be convinced, and the officials will not be convinced, but I hope your majesty..."

"Xia Qi," Xia Yuxiao leaned back in the chair, "You are forcing me, aren't you?"

"Your Majesty is the lord of a country. Who dares to persecute His Majesty? It's nothing more than a remonstrance. Your Majesty wants to arrest Zuo and Wang, yes, but doing so chills the hearts of all the ministers, and also chills those who originally wanted to They wanted to protect the hearts of the soldiers who wanted to keep the peace of Great Xia. They came to maintain the stability of Tai'an City when His Majesty left Xia, but now, His Majesty has no reason to arrest Zuo and Wang and put him in prison. Who can agree to this?"

Xia Qi accused angrily.

"Oh, I have finally revealed my real purpose. All of you here have been waiting for these words to threaten me, haven't you? I'm afraid that the so-called 'protecting the peace of the Great Xia' soldiers that you have assembled have long been gearing up. It's gone, isn't it?"

She smiled wryly, looked at the familiar but unfamiliar relatives in front of her, and glanced at Song Jingqing next to her.

Song Jingqing understood, she quietly changed her position, so that she came from behind Xia Yuxiao to directly in front of her.

But Xia Yuxiao noticed from the corner of her eye that just as Song Jingqing moved her position, the general below and the guards outside also quietly touched her waist...

Sure enough, it was already prepared.

It seems that after today, the whole hall will have to be cleaned.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. If Your Majesty still appoints traitors, I will have no choice but to..."

Before Wei Wei finished speaking, suddenly, a figure ran in from outside the hall.

That was a guard, or in other words, a "guard" who was no longer qualified to call himself a guard.

The armor on his body had already been removed. Obviously, these armors made him run very hard, so he simply removed them all. The moment he rushed into the hall, the guard saw Xia Yuxiao.

He froze for a moment, looked around, looked at the situation at the scene, and saw Xia Yuxiao who was about to explode at the top, he was at a loss for words:

"That... this..."

"What's going on? Reckless!"

General Du gouged him out.

"General...General, I'm going to..."

"Your Majesty is here, if you have anything to say, just talk to Your Majesty here."

General Du looked at the flustered look of the guard he bought, frowned and said.

The guard was silent for a moment, then took a breath: "Your Majesty, outside...the army stationed outside has fought with another army!"

"what!?"

Not only Xia Yuxiao, but even the courtiers who originally planned to use the army to blackmail them didn't react.

"Who is fighting with whom? Make it clear!"

Inside the city, General Bai led troops to suppress it, but outside the city, there was an army assembled by several main ministers and princes, surrounding Tai'an City.The two were separated by the city wall, and no one dared to fight first, so a confrontation was formed.

Of course, it was just a military confrontation. When Xia Yuxiao came in, the surrounding troops did not disrespect her - after all, the concept of forcing the emperor to surrender is not the same as directly beheading or arresting the emperor.
