After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

The emperor was disgusted by the eunuch in black and said coldly, "Come here, drag him out and behead him."

The secret guards appeared instantly and captured the eunuch in black.

The Queen Mother was shocked: "Emperor! You won't listen to my explanation..."

The Queen Mother hadn't finished speaking yet.

A beam from above fell straight down. The emperor didn't even raise his head, but swung his sword with his backhand. The sword blade hit the wood with a clanging sound like it was hitting an iron cavalry. Although it didn't break the wood, it made the wood deviate from its trajectory and then hit the empress dowager heavily on the head.

"Puff!" The Queen Mother was hit so hard that she vomited blood and fainted.

emperor:……

Yuan Ruan took a deep breath: [This plot is so shameless?! It can even collapse the beams of the house. ]

System: [Uh...it seems that the plot has strengthened some termites and other insects. They chewed through the beams.]

Yuanruan almost laughed out of anger: [6. Tonger, when will this plot killing end? ]

System: [I don't know. The plot killing is to maintain the world view of more than ten other melodramatic novels, and to make Chu the final winner. But your brother is the biggest obstacle. If he doesn't die, it will be difficult for Chu to dominate.]

Yuanruan was silent: [It's a long way off...]

The emperor's face also darkened completely.

This is a kind of powerless frustration, fighting against the invisible and intangible bullshit plot consciousness.

But soon, this feeling of frustration turned into fuel that burned fiercely in the emperor's heart.

He clenched, relaxed, and clenched his sword again with an expressionless face: My dear Chu, I will conquer Chu.

……

Although the emperor wanted to kill the empress dowager's line, he was worried that the plot killing would harm the court officials of the Xia Kingdom, so he had to suspend government affairs for a day.

Not until twelve hours had passed did he summon some officials to hold a small court meeting in a side hall.

One day was enough time for the officials of Daxia to find out about some of the things that happened at the banquet.

Officials below the sixth rank were confused and were discussing whether or not to prepare generous gifts for the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

Officials above the sixth rank discussed privately, and the emperor was anxious to hold a small court meeting, probably to discuss how to deal with the empress dowager.

Soon, some court officials arrived at the palace after lunch.

The chief eunuch led a team of thirty courtiers to the side hall. The quiet team passed a rockery corridor and just happened to see the Tingxuan Hall.

My goodness, if it weren’t for the sign on the beam that read “Tingxuan Palace”, they would not have believed that this was a palace within the imperial palace.

Just on the pillars on both sides, there were not only knife marks and fire marks, but also claw marks of wild animals. It was hard to imagine what kind of storms this palace had gone through.

The Minister of Revenue said distressedly: "This needs a major overhaul. How hateful."

The Minister of Rites whispered, "Your Majesty brought us here directly, probably to hint that we will be severely punished."

The other courtiers nodded in agreement.

Just before arriving at Tingxuan Palace, they met the emperor standing in the corridor and gazing into the distance.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor." The court officials all bowed deeply.

The emperor turned around and waved his hand: "My dear ministers, please stand up. I have something that requires your collective wisdom."

The court officials felt nervous, as it turned out to be a case related to the Empress Dowager.

The emperor said: "How to attack Chu as soon as possible, completely wipe out the Chu royal family, and turn it into Xia territory."

Courtiers: Okay, about the Queen Mother... Wait, what?!

Attack Chu? !

The court officials were shocked. They thought the next test would be mathematics, but when they opened the paper, they saw the Chinese test paper instead.

The Minister of Personnel thought he had heard wrongly and could not help but bow and said, "Your Majesty, attack the State of Chu?!"

The emperor nodded slightly: "Yes. My dear, do you have any good ideas?"

The Minister of Personnel wanted to slap himself and said dryly: "Your Majesty, your minister... I have no idea for the time being." Not only did he have no idea, he also wanted to complain: Your Majesty, I know you are very angry about the birth of the Queen Mother, but don't be so angry yet!

Chu State has a larger land area than Xia State, and stronger military strength than Xia State. The most amazing thing is that they also have a natural dangerous road, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is extremely difficult for Xia State to attack Chu State! You want to raise an army to confiscate the family of the Queen Mother, but doing so can easily backfire!

The emperor glanced around and saw that no courtier spoke up.

The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Prime Minister Li. "My dear Prime Minister Li, do you have any good ideas?"

Prime Minister Li was worried and said, "Your Majesty, the attack on Chu involves great interests. I think we should not act too hastily..."

The emperor said: "I am not asking whether we can fight, I am asking how to fight!"

Prime Minister Li choked and wanted to cry, but since he had chosen to be the emperor's number one lackey, he absolutely could not let the emperor's words fall on deaf ears.

Prime Minister Li said decisively: "Your Majesty, I think we can make use of the bald Grand Master of Chu."

The officials staggered and glared at each other: "Prime Minister Li, you traitor! Now is not the time to please His Majesty, now is the time to give advice!"

The emperor said: "Oh? He? Has he surrendered to Daxia?"

Prime Minister Li folded his hands and said, "Not yet. But as far as I know, Daxia brings letters written by the granddaughter of the great master of Chu every month. Although that person has not replied, his housekeeper comes to pick up the letters every month. I think that the letters can be used to provoke..."

The emperor seemed to be thinking about something. He beckoned, "Ming Wei, what do you think?"

The Mingwei who was in charge of spying came out, bowed, and said in a hard voice: "Your Majesty, the time is not right, and it cannot be used. The Grand Master of Chu is extremely cautious, and he will take the initiative to hand over every letter he receives to the Fourth Prince. I think it will take some time, and when the Fourth Prince of Chu and the Grand Master are more lax about the letters, I will use a letter with intelligence to completely provoke the conflict between the two sides."

The emperor nodded slightly: "Okay. Let's continue to do it according to your idea." He waved his hand, and Mingwei disappeared like a shadow.

Prime Minister Li was quiet again.

The Minister of Revenue fiddled with the beads on his abacus with a serious expression. He had been fighting the Xiongnu, building palaces, and now he was planning to attack the State of Chu. He felt that if he didn't speak up, the country's treasury would be empty.

The Minister of Revenue suddenly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, instead of discussing attacking Chu, why don't you discuss how to deal with the Queen Mother first?"

Officials: !!!

Good! You are worthy of being the Minister of Revenue. You dare to say no to all wasteful things! Right, right, right, first target the Queen Mother. What war should we fight? Let Chu go first!

The emperor stood still, turned back and frowned, "What is there to discuss, Queen Mother?"

The court officials looked a little confused: Your Majesty, wasn't it the Queen Mother who offended you? ! Wasn't it because of the Queen Mother that you wanted to attack the State of Chu? Wasn't it?

The Minister of Revenue could not help but ask: "Your Majesty, should we arrest the Queen Mother, or..."

"Kill them." The emperor's expression was cold and impatient. "The Chu people who came to Xia Kingdom as a dowry should be tried according to the law. You can arrest, exile or kill them."

Daxia official:!!!

Your Majesty, don't you think this is too rough?

It is true that the male queen mother's crime is unforgivable, but she is a princess of the State of Chu after all, and the State of Chu is currently the strongest country. When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first.

Just at this moment, a message from the chief eunuch suddenly came from outside, saying that the prince and Yuan Ruan were coming.

Everyone had a meal.

The emperor took the lead and took a few steps outside, just in time to see the prince walking in holding Yuan Ruan, followed by a palace maid holding a wooden box.

Yuanruan took a look and said, "Why are there so many people?"

System: [Your brother is holding a small court meeting here. ]

Yuan Ruan paused: [Brother, you really work hard. You just experienced a plot killing and now you are starting a court meeting. You’ve worked hard.]

The emperor's heart softened when he heard this. He took a step forward and picked up Yuan Ruan: "Why are you here?"

Yuan Ruan sticks to the emperor: "There is a gift, I want it, father, I am happy."

The hostility in the emperor's eyes dissipated a little, and he said "hmm".

Yuanruan was close to the emperor again.

The Minister of Revenue saw that the emperor was in a better mood.

He took a deep breath and was about to bow and talk about the problem between the Queen Mother and the State of Chu. The core of the problem was that Daxia was not suitable to make any more enemies. The Queen Mother should punish but not act recklessly. Peace was the most important thing.

System: [Aruan, I think your brother has to be diligent. This plot has always wanted to make Daxia a stepping stone for Chu. As long as Chu is not destroyed, your brother and your Daxia will never have peace.]

The Minister of Revenue took a deep breath and held back his words.

what happened? !

If the Chu Kingdom is not destroyed, will Great Xia never have peace?!
