"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
In the western part of Central China, Youzhou, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Palace.
All civil and military officials gathered together, with solemn faces, and saluted the Queen of Zhou on the dragon throne.
Yes!
Queen of Zhou Dynasty!
Among the dozens of dynasties and dynasties in China, apart from the previous Jingjue Ancient Kingdom, only the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a queen!
In fact, the founder of the Zhou Dynasty was originally a stunningly talented woman named Zhou Mingyue.
Affected by this, the future Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty will be completely different from other royal families. Sons will be favored over daughters. On the contrary, the status of women will be slightly higher!
A woman can strengthen herself, be granted civil and military titles, establish a harem, and rule the world. She is no weaker than any man!
Even the kings of the Zhou Dynasty who succeeded Zhou Yue were all women!
The contemporary Empress of Zhou Dynasty is a top figure comparable to the previous emperor, named Zhou Waner.
His talent was extraordinary and his cultivation was unparalleled. In just one thousand years, his cultivation reached the state of transformation and he took over the throne. It has been twelve hundred years since then.
During her reign, she worked hard to govern, carried out reforms, suppressed countless aristocratic sects in the Zhou Dynasty, and worshiped from all directions, and no one dared to disobey!
Before the rise of Great Xia, among the six great dynasties in Central China, apart from Qingzhou Great Qin, it was the Great Zhou Dynasty that was the most powerful!
Therefore, within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prestige of the contemporary Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty is extremely high. Even the Holy Land "Cangxiao Holy Sect" within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not dare to interfere with the dynasty's political power and does not interfere with each other.
However, even though women were in power, the Zhou Dynasty was not a feminist country. Men and women coexisted. There were both civil and military officials in the court, and there were both male ministers and female officials.
The Queen of the Zhou Dynasty is sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a phoenix crown and a rosy robe. Her skin is like snow and her face is peerless. However, on that beautiful face, she exudes a majestic nobility that makes people dare not watch intently!
"Everyone loves you!"
Queen Zhou waved her hands gently, her face calm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the officials stood up as instructed.
"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"
At this time, Si Cheng shouted loudly next to him.
Hearing this, there was a burst of low-pitched discussion in the hall.
All the civil and military officials looked at each other.
Some officials hesitated to speak, but seemed to think of something, but no one spoke first.
The atmosphere was a little deserted for a while.
On the dragon throne, Queen Zhou naturally noticed something strange. She frowned slightly and said in a graceful voice: "What? There are no national affairs to deal with today?"
There was silence in the hall again.
After a while.
In the procession of civil servants, a female official wearing official uniforms and a crown walked out slowly holding a fluorene board, cupping her hands and saying: "Your Majesty, the situation in China has been tense recently, and the same is true in our country. However, your Majesty is powerful throughout the world. Therefore, although the situation in the court is tense, there is no chaos. I can take care of your Majesty's worries about trivial matters. There are only two things that I can't decide..."
Queen Zhou nodded slightly and said, "What two things?"
The female officer hesitated for a moment and said: "One of them is the eastern part of Middle-earth, the Great Xia Dynasty..."
Daxia Dynasty!
Hearing this name, the hall suddenly became silent!
Sitting on the dragon throne, Queen Zhou also frowned slightly, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and nodded: "Continue!"
"yes!"
The female officer cupped her hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Great Xia Dynasty has developed rapidly recently. Recently, within two consecutive months, it has conquered Yongzhou, Xuezhou, and Qingzhou, and captured many dynasty forces, including the Qin Dynasty and Chunyang Immortal Palace. Destroyed by it, Daxia now controls the four states with the power of one dynasty, and its power is unmatched!"
There was silence in the hall, and you could hear a pin drop.
All the ministers had serious expressions on their faces, and they listened quietly to the female officer's words, unable to hide the worry in their eyes.
Only Queen Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon throne, remained silent and her face was calm. No one knew what she was thinking.
At this time, the female officer continued: "To this day, Daxia's ambition to unify the world has been made plain. No one in China knows about it. Everyone in China is in danger!"
"At this time, Qingzhou in the east of our dynasty was also attacked and destroyed by Daxia. If Daxia continues to attack, the next target will be either Jianzhou in the south of Qingzhou or Youzhou where our dynasty is located!"
"Since Qingzhou was destroyed half a month ago, although the other forces have been talking about an alliance and trying to find ways to unite to resist Daxia, until today, there has been no real movement."
"For the sake of the survival of our dynasty, I would like to inform your majesty that this matter must be prepared in advance and we must find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, our dynasty will be in danger!"
After the female officer finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the dragon chair.
Upon seeing this, the other officials also bowed and solemnly said in unison: "Your Majesty, please give an order as soon as possible to resolve this matter!"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet!
On the dragon chair, the Queen of Zhou was expressionless and silent for a moment. She said slowly: "How could I not know about this? Half a month ago, Da Qin asked for help. All the major forces sent people there, but they all withdrew halfway and returned without success. Da Qin asked for help half a month ago. A legion commander from the Xia Dynasty scared away dozens of powerful immortals with one sword strike!"
"Since then, the major forces that had been clamoring to attack Daxia were frightened and did not dare to say a word!"
Speaking of this, Queen Zhou sneered and said: "The situation is now extremely clear. None of the remaining forces in China can be Daxia's opponent. With the strength Daxia has shown at this moment, It seems that even if all the forces unite, they may not be able to stop Daxia Bingfeng!"
"How? Is there any way to resist Daxia at this moment?!"
Queen Zhou's voice became colder, she looked at the female official and said:
"You are right. Although there are still Netherworld Swamps and Lingshan Mountains in the East as barriers, the Netherworld Swamps are full of poisonous insects and wild beasts. It has long been reduced to a paradise for monsters and cannot be inhabited by humans. As for Lingshan Buddhism, its contemporary abbot Fahai, The relationship with the Daxia Dynasty is ambiguous, and it is very possible that the Buddha Sect has secretly defected to Daxia!"
"If it weren't for the sudden invasion of the demon clan and their massive attack on the Middle Earth, Daxia would have no time to take care of it. Otherwise, the next one to take action in Daxia would probably be me, Dazhou!"
The female officer's body trembled and her face looked sad, "Then we can only sit and wait for destruction?!"
"It depends on what other forces that have not been conquered by Daxia think about it!"
The Empress of the Great Zhou said coldly: "How can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned? If they are really willing to give away their ten thousand-year foundation, then there is nothing I can do. So what if our Great Zhou Dynasty really surrenders to Daxia? !”
After saying that, Queen Zhou gently closed her eyes and bit her lower lip tightly, which was enough to show her inner unwillingness!
It's not that she doesn't want to resist, it's that the Great Xia Dynasty has risen too fast!
In just one year, a person as proud as she was so strong felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
Resist?
How can the Zhou family resist? !
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials also trembled at the same time!
A desolate atmosphere filled the entire hall!
At this time, the female officer gritted her teeth and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please order me to go to Jianzhou in person. Jianzhou Tianjian Dynasty has always been at odds with Daxia. The reason why Daxia has not taken action against it is probably because of Use the help of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty to resist the southern demon clan. When Daxia comes back to his senses, he will definitely use his troops against the Heavenly Sword Dynasty first. If the Sword Emperor does not want to sit back and wait for death, he will definitely fight to the death!"
"It's not enough to make a fool of yourself! What do you want him to do?"
The Queen of Zhou interrupted with a wave of her hand and said with a sneer: "Ling Cangjian's heart has long been defeated by Da Xia! I have already sent people to invite him to come to discuss matters, but he still holds on to the last illusion and feels that Da Xia's appetite is not that big. , they may not necessarily take action against him, this kind of person deserves to be killed!"
The female officer gritted her teeth and said: "Then Yuezhou in the south, Nanzhao in the south of Qingzhou..."
"Nanzhao has sent three Supreme Elders to inform him personally!"
The Queen of Zhou closed her eyes and said: "As for Yuezhou, Emperor Yan has not replied yet. I'm afraid it's just a fluke, so don't pay attention to it!"
The ministers were silent for a while.
At this time, Queen Zhou asked: "How is the situation of the demon clan at the moment?"
The female official cupped her hands and replied: "This is also the second thing I am going to tell your Majesty. The demon clan is coming this time with great ferocity, and its power is not much weaker than that of the southern demon clan. It is even stronger. Today, news came from the north. In just a short time, In the past two days, the demon clan has launched three attacks, and the troops guarding the north of our dynasty can only last for three days at most!"
Hearing this, Queen Zhou's expression became serious.
In order to deal with this demon invasion, the Great Zhou Dynasty not only transferred back the troops that had been sent to the south to support the states in resisting the demons, but also ignored the other borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty and sent most of the troops to the north.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the attack would become urgent again!
"It seems that the demon clan is determined to break through the middle-earth this time!"
Empress Dazhou whispered to herself, frowning, "If you don't come early, you won't come later, but it just happens at this time..."
"Your Majesty, actually this matter may not be a bad thing for our dynasty!"
At this moment, a military general suddenly stepped forward and said.
Queen Zhou raised her eyelids slightly, "How do you say that?"
The military general cupped his hands and said: "The demon clan took advantage of this to invade. Although it is not good for our dynasty, it also delays Daxia and prevents Daxia from being distracted from attacking our dynasty. This is enough to buy our dynasty some more time to find a way." Resist the Daxia cavalry!"
"But the monster clan is coming this time. How can our dynasty resist it?"
The Queen of Zhou frowned and said: "If this continues, I'm afraid that before Daxia comes, our dynasty will be destroyed by the hands of the demon clan!"
"For the current plan, we can only gather the strength of our entire dynasty and fight hard!"
The military commander looked serious and said solemnly: "Your Majesty can issue an imperial decree and order all the major sects in the court to send people to help. Together with the Cangxiao Sacred Sect and Dongfang Lingshan, it should be enough to resist the invasion of the demon clan!"
"Aristocratic sect..."
Queen Zhou murmured in a low voice.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head and said, "It's accurate!"
"According to General Sima's instructions, we immediately issued an order to order all the sects of the aristocratic families in the dynasty to send all their capable disciples to the north!"
The Empress of Zhou Dynasty spoke decisively!
She knew that this move would inevitably cause turmoil within the Zhou Dynasty.
Although the aristocratic sects of Great Zhou have always submitted to the imperial court, in such a critical moment, who is really willing to do their best to protect Great Zhou?
This imperial edict will definitely cause a lot of turmoil!
But at this moment, she has no other choice!
The Queen of Zhou raised her head, looked to the southeast, and murmured: "In this case, our dynasty has no way out."
"At this moment, I really want to pray that the demon clan can hold off Daxia and give our court more time to prepare..."
"Report~!"
Suddenly!
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall.
The next moment, a guard looked anxious and quickly broke into the palace. He knelt down and reported urgently: "Report! Your Majesty, all parties have urgently reported that the demon clan has withdrawn!"
"What! The demon clan has withdrawn its troops?!"
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials were suddenly shocked!
And on the dragon throne, the original plain expression of the Empress of Zhou also changed in vain!
