The night is getting darker.

I do not know how long it has been.

Concubine Rong opened her eyes with flushed eyes and stared blankly at herself in a mess.

Then he looked at Jiang Qiulu, who looked foolish, with resentment in his eyes.

It was such a shame and humiliation for me to have my body snatched away by this fool!

Her eyes are filled with resentment!

"This is fun! I still want to play! I still want to play!"

Jiang Qiulu clapped her hands and cheered, as if she had gotten her beloved toy.

Concubine Rong trembled all over and quickly backed away.

The whip marks and patches of pain burned by the hot wax oil on his body were all warnings.

What's more important is the burning pain in my lower body!

Her body was taken over by this stupid emperor!

She twisted her body, trying to ease her pain, and gritted her teeth and said to Jiang Qiulu: "You fool, let's see how many more years you can stay in this state of mind!"

According to his father's plan, Daxia will soon fall into his hands.

At that time, this stupid emperor will definitely experience the most painful punishment in the world!

A sharp look flashed in Jiang Qiulu's eyes, but he shouted stupidly: "Do it again! Do it again!"

Concubine Rong was so frightened that she ran away from the door in disheveled clothes.

After scaring Concubine Rong away, the stupidity in Jiang Qiulu's eyes faded like a tide, replaced by a clear light.

"How many more years can I remain ignorant?"

He lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"He is indeed a traitor and traitor."

At this time, an old eunuch with a gaunt body quietly pushed the door in, trembling and prostrated on the ground, full of worry:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong controls the harem and isolates it from the outside world. You must take care of yourself."

The old eunuch was the personal servant left by the late emperor to Jiang Qiulu.

He was supposed to be rich and famous, but because his Majesty was a fool, he suffered a lot. However, he always held on to his loyalty and lived a difficult life in this deep palace.

"How can a woman rebel?" Jiang Qiulu said in an indifferent tone.

"Not only Concubine Rong, but also the Regent——"

Li Mingzhi stopped abruptly mid-sentence.

He raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of shock, and looked directly at the emperor regardless of etiquette.

"Your Majesty...is actually healed?!"

Although the silly emperor can be as quiet as he is now, he can never speak such clear words. When dealing with the emperor, he has to be coaxed like a child.

"Well, my mind is no longer chaotic."

Jiang Qiulu and the old eunuch looked at each other for a moment, and then sighed: "You have worked hard these years."

The old eunuch's eyes suddenly turned red, and he grinned as if he wanted to laugh, but ended up crying.

Then he hurriedly lowered his head, unable to restrain his emotions.

"Old slave deserves to die..."

"It's really a blessing from our ancestors..."

"Old slave is not bitter..."

The old eunuch burst into tears, and her mixed emotions finally converged into the word "Your Majesty" that changed her mind.

Jiang Qiulu was also very emotional. Although his predecessor had been stupid for so many years, all kinds of memories were still vivid in his mind.

His loyalty is evident and he is someone he can trust absolutely.

But now is not the time to sigh. At the moment, because of the stupidity of his predecessor, the government is on the sidelines and treacherous ministers are in power.

According to what Concubine Rong said, the rebels will take action.

"Okay, let's stop talking."

Jiang Qiulu was as motionless as a mountain, and her eyes were as deep as the abyss or the sea.

"I have been foolish for so many years, and I have also indulged some people for so many years. It is time to get everything in the empire back on track!"

The old eunuch suddenly became awe-inspiring.

The majesty of the emperor in His Majesty was something he had never felt before.

Now it seems that Your Majesty is doing really well.

"Returning to Your Majesty, just as the late Emperor expected, King Yong indeed became ambitious after Your Majesty succeeded to the throne. He overtly took over the throne as regent, and even sent his daughter to the palace to control the harem."

Jiang Qiulu nodded, these things were more or less confirmed in his memory.

The old eunuch continued:

"What's even more outrageous is that King Yong, the regent, is using cholera to fight against the emperor on one side, while on the other side he is using the border war to crush Daxia's bones and suck out its marrow!"

Jiang Qiulu couldn't help but lean forward and motioned to Li Mingzhi to elaborate.

"The Turks and other northern barbarians have repeatedly invaded the border since His Majesty ascended the throne."

"In the past three to five years, King Yong used the pretext of war to enrich his own pockets, squeeze out loyal people, and make the country weak."

"Now, it is even more ridiculous. They want to cede territory to the Turkic barbarians as compensation!"

"Be bold!"

Jiang Qiulu slammed the table, eyes wide open, "These rebellious officials and traitors should be killed!".

The old eunuch's eyes were red, he kowtowed repeatedly, and advised: "Your Majesty, calm down! The thieves are powerful now, so we should take a long-term approach."

Jiang Qiulu took a deep breath and ordered: "Concubine Xuande has an audience."

Concubine De is the daughter of General Di, who is now being ostracized by the court.

The old eunuch glanced at Jiang Qiulu worriedly, hesitated to speak, but finally turned around and left.

Soon, there were soft footsteps outside the door.

Concubine De's voice sounded eager and expectant.

"His Majesty!"

Concubine De opened the door and saw Jiang Qiulu sitting upright. She felt like a gust of wind rushing into Jiang Qiulu's arms.

"Your Majesty, I heard Eunuch Li say that your dementia is cured?"

Jiang Qiulu was a little moved and said slowly: "I have suffered so much, my beloved concubine, but I have indeed recovered."

Concubine De immediately burst into tears and murmured: "It will be good if Your Majesty is well, it will be good if Your Majesty is well..."

Jiang Qiulu slowly wiped away the tears on her face and said softly: "I will not let my beloved concubine suffer any further injustice in the future."

Concubine De hugged Jiang Qiulu tightly and sobbed.

She married into the palace and was loyal to Emperor Chi'er according to her father's wishes.

However, the treacherous officials were in power, and the harem was dominated by Concubine Rong, who was bullied and ostracized for many years.

His heart was miserable beyond words.

Fortunately, Your Majesty, you are awake now!

Jiang Qiulu knew that his predecessor had been indebted to Concubine De for a long time, so he gently kissed the tears from the corners of Concubine De's eyes, blew away the candlelight, and pulled Concubine De onto the bed as she exclaimed softly.

After some tenderness, Jiang Qiulu hugged the naked concubine and whispered his plan in her ear.

Although Concubine De's face was red, she also knew that the matter was of great importance and nodded repeatedly.

The next day, early in the morning, the morning bell rang!

Jiang Qiulu put on the golden dragon robe under the service of the old eunuch.

Now that he has "recovered" from his illness, he naturally has to go to court.

Soon, the old eunuch was ready to fight, and Jiang Qiulu headed towards Tai Chi Hall.

In the Tai Chi Hall, all civil and military officials have already taken their positions according to their respective classes.

Under the dragon chair, there is a large gilt chair, high above.

Sitting on it was a middle-aged man with tiger eyes and a broad face, wearing a black-horned python robe.

Due to the stupidity of the emperor, Wang Yong, the only king with a different surname in Daxia, ascended the throne and became the regent, with a special seat under the dragon throne.

One person is inferior and ten thousand people are superior!”

"Your Majesty, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

All the officials drank together, the sound shook Tai Chi!

"No gift."

King Yong nodded, full of magnanimity,

Next, the meeting begins!

King Yong squinted his eyes slightly and watched quietly as the civil and military officials below presented and argued, and then let him make the final decision.

It's easy to lift a heavy weight, and you have great power, and you feel so happy!

"Now the six Turkic princes have come to Beijing to negotiate peace!"

"Please discuss how to entertain the Turkic envoys."

"Then the regent will decide..."

A minister suddenly raised an issue. After speaking, he bowed to King Yong above.

King Yong opened his slightly narrowed eyes.

Just when he was about to speak,

"Report!"

Suddenly there was a call outside the door.

"My emperor has arrived!"

Everyone immediately looked at each other.

"What? Your Majesty is coming to court?"

"Isn't Your Majesty stupid? How can you still be in the mood to come to court?"

"I guess I'm tired of playing in the harem and come to the court to have some fun."

"..."

Under the various gazes of all the ministers, Jiang Qiulu ran towards his dragon chair as if he was in a deserted place.

During this period, he also said hello to King Yong.

"Uncle Emperor! Uncle Emperor! You old man is here too!"

King Yong's eyelids twitched, he suppressed them stiffly, and smiled: "Your Majesty, I am scared."

Jiang Qiulu chuckled and jumped onto the dragon chair with a bang, startling all the officials.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All officials saluted.

"Get up!"

Jiang Qiulu waved his hand casually.

"What are you talking about? Let me hear it."

"Ahem!"

King Yong coughed twice and said:

"Your Majesty, I have just been discussing the Turkic affairs."

"The Turks have repeatedly invaded our borders, and successive wars have led to our Great Xia, wasting a huge amount of troops, and losing successive battles. Now the treasury is empty, the soldiers are exhausted, and we really cannot support a war."

"So I propose that we should focus on peace negotiations and find some Turkic envoys to come to Beijing for negotiations!"

The minister who had previously proposed to entertain the Turkic envoys reported it with a smile.

A flash of contempt flashed in his eyes.

A stupid emperor, what he says is like playing the piano to an ox.

"I object!"

A loud shout suddenly sounded in the hall.
