Daxia Palace, Fengluan Hall.
Since the empress succeeded to the throne, the Golden Dragon Palace has been transformed into the Fengluan Palace, and accordingly the names of many palaces in the palace have been changed according to the emperor's preference.
The warm sun was shining brightly, and hundreds of civil and military officials in various official robes filed into the imperial city. When passing the city gate, they were always careful to avoid the remaining sword power here.
There was still a mess in front of them. The Zhumen fell to the ground and was riddled with holes. Many Imperial Guards went into battle lightly, silently cleaning the ruins at the door, dragging the corpses out of the pit, cremating them and burying them.
In the center of Fengluan Hall, sixteen palace servants carried a noble dragon chariot, with carved dragons, phoenixes and auspicious animals as the top, and golden bead curtains hanging down, creating a majestic atmosphere.
There were a large number of palace maids and eunuchs surrounding him.
But inside the dragon chariot, there was a different scene.
The aloof Empress of Great Xia was lying in the arms of a young man in a white dragon robe. She just lay quietly, but she hooked her two long snow-white legs around the young man's waist and held her with her slender jade hands. The other party's solid shoulders, his head buried in the heaving chest.
The side-opened fire dragon robe opened like petals, revealing a graceful figure with bulging breasts. There was no weakness in the face, full of thinking. After a while, he raised his head and asked the person in front of him:
"Husband, do you really plan to announce this in court?"
"Um."
Zhao Huai nodded and said.
"Great Yan and Great Xia must have a truce, otherwise they will not be able to deal with future crises. This time I will go to the court with you and announce this in person."
"I don't think those ministers will listen. Moreover, since the price of salt in the capital has skyrocketed, many officials have retired and returned to their hometowns, probably to join my uncle."
Yu Qinghan sighed.
"Rebellions have broken out in various places and this problem has never been solved."
"What if I can bring down the price of salt?"
Zhao Huai looked into her eyes seriously, held her hand and said:
"Do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it."
Yu Qinghan nodded vigorously.
"I have a way to make the price of salt fall, but the key thing is your attitude towards King Changning, and how you should deal with Xiangyun."
Zhao Huai paused and then mentioned someone.
Pei Xiangyun, she is Madam's best sister. If she wants to deal with King Changning, she will definitely not be able to get around him.
This is her father after all.
"I haven't seen Xiangyun for a long time since she left the capital. She is probably under house arrest by the emperor's uncle."
Yu Qinghan thought.
"If we really get to that point, even if we capture King Changning alive and kill the Nine Clans, I will naturally worry about our past friendship. Some things must still be done."
After thinking about it, Yu Qinghan shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention this topic again, and interrupted the conversation: "By the way, husband, how did you come to find me in Xiadu."
Zhao Huai explained: "This time the Demon Sect not only targeted Daxia, but even the Nanyu Mansion was besieged and intercepted. There is the shadow of the Shenluo Empire behind it. It seems that the Demon Sect and the Shenluo Empire have come together."
Yu Qinghan still sat up, frowned and said: "There are too many enemies in Zhongzhou, including the Northern Wolf Empire, and the entire Daxia is already like a wolf."
"Yes." Zhao Huai also agreed, "Not only does the Northern Wolf occupy the ten states in the north, I also suspect that they have been infiltrated by Huangquan."
"Huang Quan, what do you say?"
"I found more than a dozen blood demon puppets in Nanyu Mansion. These monsters are only found in Huangquan, but they appear in the south. It can only be said that there are many monsters in the north that have infiltrated into the human race, and we Don’t know yet.”
Zhao Huai thought: "The source is very likely to come from the Northern Wolf Empire. Northern Wolf has always been the country of Beizhou. Now I am eager to go south. It is just because I don't want to be disturbed by Huangquan. When I came, I saw no The disciples of the Shaoxian Sect are all heading towards Beizhou for reinforcements, which shows that the infiltration of the underworld demons has been very serious, and the calmest ones are often the ones that should not be underestimated."
Yu Qinghan nodded thoughtfully.
The Northern Wolf Empire has been too quiet in recent days. They used to harass people at the border, but now there is no news about them. Silence is a sign of danger.
Zhao Huai leaned on the soft bed and said calmly:
"Old Demon Netherworld, the Ten Sects of the Demonic Path, and the Shenluo Empire, I have all kept their accounts in mind. One day in the future, I will definitely pay back double the amount."
Above the court.
Only half of the civil and military officials came, and Hou Li was around.
The empress is sitting on the dragon chair, behind the golden bead curtain, wearing a fiery phoenix skirt without too many complicated patterns and accessories. It is simple and exquisite, like a fiery and dazzling phoenix, and everyone else is just the background.
Yu Qinghan's red phoenix eyes were shiny, so clear that you could see the reflection in them, crystal clear.
Her red lips were moist, but there was no rouge, and she looked very energetic. The imperial crown fell in front of her eyes, and her long black hair was coiled on top of her head, looking solemn and solemn.
The buttocks are round and golden, with a large dent in them.
Today, there was no eunuch standing next to her, but a man in white robes, none other than Zhao Huai.
"Today, I am calling you all together to announce a big event!"
The voice was high, cool, dignified, and full of charm. The voice was mixed with nobility and the domineering feeling of having been in a high position for a long time.
"Absolutely not!"
"Absolutely not!"
Before Yu Qinghan even announced what the news was, several veterans had already stood up to object.
It looked like she had touched some untouchable taboo.
"What do you mean?"
This made Yu Qinghan very angry. Since he was in the court, it was difficult to curse, so he had to ask coldly.
The old minister in Fei Pao said quickly: "Your Majesty and Prince Dayan gave birth to offspring. This is already risking the disapproval of the world and is the last thing you should do. If you persist in your stubbornness now, Daxia will fall apart immediately, and Taizu's foundation may be destroyed. once!"
As soon as this statement came out, other ministers quickly echoed: "Your Majesty! In the past few days, many officials who do not care about honor and integrity have defected to King Changning, resulting in a large number of vacancies in the court, putting Daxia into crisis, and the current price of salt has increased. The people are about to rebel, and the current situation cannot be further stimulated!"
"It is not easy for Taizu to start a business. Are you going to be the sinner of this country's subjugation?"
Facing the questioning from the ministers, Yu Qinghan's face didn't look good either.
As a king, but being questioned by his ministers, is there anything more embarrassing than this?
Zhao Huai took a step forward, wanting to ask for an explanation, but was held by Yu Qinghan's hand, with pleading eyes.
In this kind of situation, the husband should not appear.
He should play a decisive role when it comes to making the final decision, rather than arguing when there is a quarrel in front of him.
Yu Qinghan knew the importance.
"Do you, dear ones, think that besides seeking cooperation with Dayan and signing a truce agreement, there are other ways to solve the problem that the Shinra Empire and the Northern Wolf Empire are eyeing?"
She finally told the news.
Daxia will sign an armistice agreement with Dayan, withdraw troops from the border, and instead save a lot of military expenses. In other words, it is cooperation.
Restore most of the trade between the north and the south and pacify the states and counties spread by war, and devote more energy to foreign wars.
"No matter what, Da Yan and Da Xia are incompatible and cannot cooperate."
“In order to fight against the outside world, we must first make peace with the inside.”
"The traitors of Great Yan are not well-intentioned and will return to their ashes. When the time comes, they will swallow up my country in Great Xia. What will happen then?"
"Your Majesty, do you think that the relationship between the two of them alone can prevent Great Yan from adding insult to injury? Even if His Majesty can believe it, we cannot believe it."
Hearing these sounds, Zhao Huai's eyes killed the officials outside a million times.
But it was covered by a golden bead curtain, so people outside couldn't see clearly and could only see a blurry figure.
These ministers did not know that Zhao Huai had already arrived at the court.
Zhao Huai, who had clenched his fists before, was now furious.
I bet this is the court that Madam has to face every day?
How ridiculous.
What does it mean to be afraid of Dayan taking advantage?
This is obviously judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
In his opinion, these are a group of foolish ministers, just like broken stones, smelly and hard.
"Your Majesty, now we should ask the Immortal Sect for help and send monks to prevent the Demon Sect from attacking again. At the same time, we should organize our troops as soon as possible to regain the south."
"Otherwise, Taizu would not be able to rest in peace even if he was under the Nine Springs!"
Yu Qinghan frowned and was thinking about what to say in reply.
Seeing his wife's appearance, Zhao Huai couldn't bear it anymore.
Regardless of Yu Qinghan's objections, he said coldly:
"Do you think Daxia's success today is due to your so-called Taizu?"
A man's voice appeared in the entire court, and it was like thunder, and the whole hall was shaken.
The civil and military ministers were all horrified and looked around.
Don't know who is speaking.
"Bold! Who is it that dares to be so arrogant in my country!"
An old minister scolded.
Zhao Huai walked out of the golden bead curtain with an expressionless face, removed the Qi Condensation spell on his body, and appeared in front of the ministers.
"It's me, Prince Dayan, Zhao Huai!"
When the ministers saw Zhao Huai's face, they were all extremely shocked.
"What?!"
"It's actually him!"
"Why did Prince Dayan appear here?"
"Presumably he didn't leave after the battle of the Imperial City and stayed in the Xia Capital."
They all started chirping for a while.
Facing the noisy court, Zhao Huai repeated coldly:
"answer me!"
"Do you think Daxia's success today is due to your so-called Taizu?"
The echoing sound continued to echo in the hall.
But not many ministers dared to reply.
The person in front of them had just killed a powerful Nascent Soul, and his cultivation was so high that they could not match it.
Who knows if the other party will chop him down if he doesn't like it.
The veteran minister who was originally shouting fiercely remained silent under Zhao Huai's questioning.
Zhao Huai glanced around for a week, but no one looked at him. His eyes were sharp and his words were extremely cold:
"Four years ago, Dayan's officialdom was corrupt, and the people were in dire straits and had no good life at all. I recognize this."
"That's why there were warlords. My wife raised troops in the south and conquered the north. She was invincible and her military achievements were first-class. She should have been famous in history, but as ministers, what good thing did you do?"
Zhao Huai's tone paused and instantly became full of questioning.
"Now in your Daxia, there is a famine, people are dying of hunger all over the land, the country has been lost, and ten states have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Don't you have any responsibility?"
"Based on your logic of founding the country of Daxia, isn't it time for me, Dayan, to take back the country?!"
"But I didn't. Instead, I wanted to stop the war and unite with the outside world to fight against demons and alien attacks. But what about you? Judge the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart! Are you qualified to sit in your current position?! "
"Besides, who owns the world in this Great Xia country?"
Faced with Zhao Huai's questioning, the entire audience was silent.
Looking at the tall back, Yu Qinghan's eyes sparkled.
