"You have the nerve to take credit for other people's work so confidently! No wonder the southwest has become the most chaotic territory in my country! Look at how you Yuejia can only enjoy happiness but not do anything!"
The Queen Mother spoke so unceremoniously that the clan members who left their homeland and stayed in the capital suddenly turned red with embarrassment!
The lie was exposed in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, even if they were thick-skinned, they couldn't stand it anymore.
"This Southwest is not our Yue family's final decision. The Queen Mother Mingjian said that General Chu is the commander-in-chief, and our Yue family's General Yue is just the deputy general!"
"The deputy general can't do his job?! Are the deputy generals useless? Why aren't the other deputy generals of the Quartet Army like you and Yue Jia?!"
"Now that it's all said and done, you, the Yue family, might as well stop taking control of the military and hand it over to capable people!" The Queen Mother had no intention of saving face for the Yue family at the moment.
At this time, the emperor's face was very ugly, and he couldn't help but say: "If something goes wrong in the southwest, naturally the coach should be held accountable..."
The Queen Mother was completely cold-faced. She couldn't believe that the situation had reached this point, and the Emperor was still thinking about letting Chu Junxiu, who was capable of fighting, take the blame. He even wanted to replace Chu Junxiu, who was currently the only one who could guard the southwest. !
Does the emperor still want this great kingdom? ! Or does he still naively believe that Da Zhou is still the extremely powerful Da Zhou in the past? Even if foreign enemies invade the border, they can't really do anything to Da Zhou? !
The current Great Zhou Dynasty can no longer be compared with when the late emperor was in power!
The Queen Mother directly interrupted the emperor's words: "Looking for the coach?! General Chu said that he is the coach of the southwest, but if we really want to talk about it, Yuejia is the native emperor of the southwest, right?!"
The Yue family members suddenly looked horrified and knelt down with a plop!
He wouldn't dare to accept this!
"How can General Chu command General Yue? I heard he is not even qualified to meet General Yue! How can he still be a deputy general!?"
The Queen Mother coldly scolded: "What did the Yue family do during the previous suppression of bandits in the southwest!? The dignified deputy general of the southwest was in charge of more than half of the military power in the southwest. As a result, every bandit was defeated and fled?! It is simply a shame for me!"
"In the end, General Chu returned to the southwest and took charge, and immediately chased the bandits into all directions. This is my great general of Zhou!"
"And this time, it was General Chu who led the rescue force again, and this saved our border with the Great Zhou Dynasty!" The Queen Mother said, looking coldly at the emperor, "For such a great hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor actually wanted to accuse General Chu, Protect those losers from Yuejia!?”
The Empress Dowager's repeated angry words made the Yue family member tremble like chaff and his face turned pale with fear. Even the faces of King Qin's group were extremely ugly!
"Queen Mother! You have overstepped your bounds!" The emperor's face was gloomy, and he finally couldn't help shouting angrily!
The change in his title and the word "transgression" immediately made the officials aware of the seriousness of the situation!
The Queen Mother and the Emperor were actually facing each other directly in the court hall in front of all the officials!
"The Ai family is overstepping their bounds? If the Ai family doesn't stand up and say these words today, what will happen to our centuries-old foundation in the Great Zhou Dynasty and our Wu family's empire!?"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Your Majesty, if General Chu is replaced, can we expect Yue Jia to guard the southwest?!"
"Don't you think the emperor wants to take over the southwest? Give it up to Poland!? Yuejia can't even do ordinary bandit suppression. Do you still expect them to win against Poland?!"
The emperor was questioned by the Queen Mother one after another, and he had no power to reply, because everything the Queen Mother said was true!
Not to mention the Queen Mother, even the Emperor himself has no confidence in the Yue Family! Because Yuejia really couldn’t even suppress the bandits! The same was true during the last purge of the Holy Cult in Southern Xinjiang!
The emperor glared at the Yue family members with a sinister look, feeling that the Yue family was nothing but dirt that could not be helped!
I have given so many opportunities, but Yuejia couldn't even seize them once! He couldn't even pull it even if he wanted to! It’s simply a waste of all your hard work!
But the Emperor was not happy to have the Queen Mother's wishes be fulfilled, because he knew very well that if the imperial edict was issued this time and Chu Junxiu was allowed to command the entire Southwest Army again, it would be even more difficult if he wanted to take it back in the future. Difficult!
Suddenly, the emperor turned his eyes and saw Wu Zechen, who was standing quietly on the spot and had not said a word for a long time.
"Prince An, the war in the southwest is tense now. Your Western Army should send people to support the southwest and help Yuejia resist the Polish attack!"
The meaning of the emperor's words is very obvious, let the Western Army send people to assist the Yue family, and the meaning of assistance is very clear, that is, to obey the orders of the Yue family!
Moreover, these words also revealed another meaning. The emperor did not let Chu Junxiu enjoy the rights that the Southwest General should have and command the entire Southwest Army. Instead, he allowed Chu Junxiu, the Southwest General, to exist in name only. He was basically like a general. Lieutenant general.
All the officials present are smart people. How many of them can’t understand the profound meaning of these words?
The emperor's words did not indicate any intention of discussion. He wanted to make a decision directly, but how could Wu Zechen agree?
He raised his eyes with an indifferent expression, and said with a bit of chill in his voice: "Forgive me for not obeying my order! It will only be a matter of time before the Nanman attacks my western territory. It is impossible for me to leave the western territory alone and mobilize my troops to Go southwest.”
"What's more, with General Chu's ability, if he can take charge of the entire army, he will definitely be able to withstand the invasion of Poland. There is no need to mobilize troops from other Quartet armies. On the contrary, it is easy for loopholes to appear, allowing several other countries to take advantage of it."
Now Prince An even calls himself "my king" in front of the emperor, which shows his strength. Almost everyone can see the emperor's visibly darkened face.
"Prince An, are you resisting the decree? I am not discussing with you! I am ordering you to send troops to assist General Yue!"
The atmosphere above the main hall suddenly dropped to freezing point. Many courtiers felt the storm contained in it and were so frightened that they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
But Wu Zechen seemed unaware, and even his expression did not change at all. He still looked directly at the emperor coldly: "This king is not resisting the decree, but stating the facts. The Western Army needs to defend against the Southern Barbarians and cannot be easily transferred."
"Otherwise, if something happens to the Western Territory and something happens to the people in the Western Territory, I will not be able to give an explanation to my ancestors, nor will I be able to give an explanation to the people of Great Zhou!"
The following words seemed to be sarcastic to the emperor!
If something really happened in the Western Realm, how would the Emperor explain it to the world?
The emperor never expected that he would be ridiculed by Prince An, and he was furious. He slapped the table and shouted loudly: "You Prince An! I asked you to send troops to protect our country, but you are so cowardly. How can I become the General of Pingxi!?"
"There is absolutely no movement in the southern barbarians, but you are here to scaremongering. How qualified are you to take charge of this western military power?!"
The emperor actually said that he was going to force Prince An to send troops! Otherwise, you are no longer worthy of being General Pingxi!
