...
As the sun rises in the east, the drums at Chengtian Gate are beaten, and officials rush to the palace to attend the morning court.
Inside the Dragon Palace.
The empress sat on a high position with a majestic look on her face, listening to the courtiers constantly reporting large and small matters.
It wasn't until some courtiers mentioned matters regarding the northern border of Great Xia that the empress cleared her throat and coughed dryly.
The eunuch in front of the palace took notice and waved his long and narrow whip to signal the officials to be silent.
"Snapped!"
The court fell silent for a moment, and all the officials stared at the emperor, waiting for his next words.
The eunuch who delivered the edict came to the center of the hall with the imperial edict in his hands, slowly spread it out, and said in a high-pitched voice:
"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says!
I have been thinking about it for many days and know that the soldiers in the Northern Territory cannot live without a commander for a day. After many inspections, I have issued an imperial edict to order Dugu Tianqing to serve as the general of the Northern Territory. I will set off tomorrow and rush to the Northern Territory as soon as possible!
..."
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and the officials were talking about it.
"What, it's really Dugu Tianqing, did I hear you correctly?"
"For so long, I thought the emperor had changed his mind and considered other candidates."
"I really want to congratulate Brother Yihe."
"..."
Dugu Yi, Heyuan Tingyuezhi, stood in the front row of the courtiers. He was slightly dazed at the moment, shocked by the news.
Then he came back to his senses after listening to the congratulatory voices around him, his eyes twinkling. Zhao Wujiang said yesterday evening that he could do a small favor. How long had it passed? In less than half a day, the emperor appointed Tian Qing as the Northern General. .
This...Zhao Wujiang is a man of great talent!
A smile gradually appeared on his lips, and then the laughter became heartier.
But I was blind and underestimated Zhao Wujiang... Yuchi Zhenwu, the young minister of Dali Temple, frowned, then shook his head with a wry smile.
Chen Anbang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was stunned on the spot. He was also extremely shocked by the news, and the scenes in Dugu Yihe's mansion kept flashing in his mind.
This guy must be eliminated! He took a deep breath, and the long beard on his face trembled.
The discussion among the ministers gradually stopped. Chen Anbang flicked the hem of his robe and strode out of the queue:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
The empress sat high on the dragon's chair, with a majestic look on her face, and said in a deep voice:
"What does Chen Aiqing want to say?"
"Reporting to the emperor, I want to sue the harem manager Zhao Wujiang for stealing medicinal materials from the Imperial Hospital and selling them privately for money." Chen Anbang raised his thick eyebrows and widened his eyes.
There was another uproar in the court. The harem manager was stealing medicinal materials and selling them? A third-rank official, the Minister of War, actually sued a harem eunuch?
The empress frowned, anger rising in her heart, frost gradually formed on her brows, and she said coldly:
"Chen Qing, is this serious?"
Chen Anbang sneered in his heart: "Reporting to the emperor, this matter is absolutely true. I dare not lie to you."
"Your Majesty, if what Mr. Chen said is true, then as the general manager of the harem, Zhao Wujiang is obviously derelict in his duties and corrupt, and he should be investigated and dealt with!"
"Your Majesty, you must not tolerate Zhao Wujiang. The medicinal materials in the imperial hospital belong to Daxia. If he resells the medicinal materials for profit, he is also embezzling Daxia's treasury!"
"Your Majesty, Zhao Wujiang should be beheaded as a warning to others!"
"Your Majesty, this person is causing trouble in the harem and should be sentenced to death..."
"..."
Courtiers kept saying that at the wedding banquet in Pingkang Building of Honglu Temple that day, his heirs performed hard just to make the princess smile. However, the princess was so eager to the little eunuch Zhao Wujiang and slapped all the ministers in the face. They kept Grudge.
Zhao Wujiang, how can you, a little eunuch, be better than my heir...More and more courtiers are standing in line, adding insult to injury, and requesting sanctions against Zhao Wujiang.
"Your Majesty, you must not tolerate this person!"
"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Great Xia dynasty, no one has dared to be so conciliatory under the power of clan and national laws. He, Zhao Wujiang, simply does not take my laws of Great Xia into his heart!"
"..."
