The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

All the civil and military officials in the court, without exception, thought of the Regent first when they heard of the military emergency.

Of course, the Night King is now recuperating in the palace, and usually just handles some official business. In addition, the Night King has old injuries and is not able to walk well, and the military power of the most powerful army in his hands, the Golden Guard, has also been taken away by the emperor.

Considering the Night King's current situation, some people dare not mention the Night King at all. On the one hand, they feel that it is inconvenient for the Night King to act, and on the other hand, they are afraid of angering the emperor.

The officials of the Night King's faction stood quietly by, watching the reactions of the emperor, the crown prince, the fifth prince, King Di and other people from different factions with cold eyes.

The people of Duke Meng's faction are now in the court, and they stand firmly on the side of the Night King.

The people under the Fifth Prince's faction remained silent as usual, and only when matters involving the Fifth Prince Ye Chuhe were involved did they have some big reactions.

The officials from the emperor and the prince's factions behaved most prominently. Their expressions changed in various ways, and it was obvious that they did not want to mention the Night King in front of the emperor.

The Emperor was unwilling to let the Night King come to the fore. After all, the Emperor had only just managed to defeat the Night King earlier this year, and he did not want the Night King to have a chance to come back to the fore by taking advantage of the war.

Looking at the slightly chaotic court, the emperor stroked his beard with one hand, glanced coldly at the people below, and then a cold and sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He brought up the important topic again and said in a cold voice: "There may be crises in the east and west of our dynasty. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

The emperor had made a clear statement, and no one dared to whisper anymore. They could only bite the bullet and respond. The emperor wanted an attitude, so they had to squeeze out some words to respond.

Some people in the open-minded faction thought that there was no need to worry. Both the Western Barbarians and the Eastern Ocean Empire had only sent people to the prefectures and counties near the border, and they were not stationed near the border areas. Perhaps it was just normal military training, and Zhongyue did not need to worry too much.

Some of the cautious faction thought it was extremely dangerous, fearing that the Western Barbarians would again send troops to the border to look for opportunities to start a war like before. They were also afraid that the Eastern Empire would want to annex the other four countries, and would use the most powerful Zhongyue as the first to be harvested. For this reason, we should be extremely vigilant against the border crisis.

The cautious people are cautious. They know that they should put forward some opinions, but they are afraid of getting into trouble and afraid that the suggestions they make will harm themselves, so they only briefly put forward the attitude that Zhongyue should express, rather than having the courage to point out in depth the specific countermeasures that Zhongyue should take.

The bold and cautious factions have completely opposite styles. They directly state a response method. They believe that there is no need to be afraid, no matter what the intentions of the Western Barbarians and the Empire are - Zhongyue just needs to be prepared in advance.

In other words, Zhong Yueye had to send out troops in case the Western Barbarians and the Empire wanted to go to war!

But the problem is that Zhongyue's God of War Prince has already returned to the battlefield, and seems to be in some physical condition.

Looking at the entire Zhongyue now, who can be capable of taking on the important task of being the Regent King Ye Xiaohan?

The ministers were arguing with each other, and the morning court was like a vegetable market, extremely noisy. The tense atmosphere in the hall reached a peak again.

The emperor's headache was about to explode, and his vicious eyes showed that he really wanted to kill these officials.

At this time, a minister suddenly spoke up: "The Night King has been injured for a long time. Why don't we invite a new doctor for him? Maybe the Night King will have a chance to return to the battlefield?"

The man who spoke was a veteran in the court, in a neutral faction, following neither the Emperor nor the Night King.

Before anyone else could react, the officials from the emperor's faction quickly denied it.

"No. The Night King is already recuperating. Recovery is the most important thing. How can we disturb him?"

"The Night King has invited numerous famous doctors, but none of them could cure the toxins in his body, let alone his legs." The minister who spoke rolled his eyes and added, "The Divine Doctor Wu is not bad at medicine, but he cannot cure the Night King. The Night King's wife is even more skilled at medicine, but she is also helpless against the Night King's condition. Let's forget about inviting someone to treat the Night King."

"Moreover, our dynasty is a great country, don't we have other outstanding men who can go to the battlefield?" The speaker was a middle-aged military general. He looked heartbroken and reminded everyone to think about other outstanding talents who could replace the Night King.

Even if we can't find someone as outstanding as the Night King, we can still find other more outstanding talents to serve the country.

In such a big dynasty, if one person is not capable of doing the job, you can find a group of people to do the work. In this way, you can gather a group of useful generals.

When the people from the Night King's faction heard the reasons listed by the Emperor's people, they all implied that there was no need to ask the Night King to come back.

Soon, the people from the Night King's faction rolled their eyes. They were indignant and strongly stated that the Night King would recover and that he would always have a place in their hearts!

Of course, the reason they protested to the emperor's men was that they didn't want the emperor and his subordinates to notice their abnormality.

In fact, they have already quietly learned about the Night King's recovery in their hearts, but they still have to pretend that they don't know, and they still have to sing a different tune from the emperor's subordinates. Otherwise, if they remain silent, it will cause the emperor to suspect the Night King's true condition.

At the same time, several old subordinates from Duke Meng's faction couldn't help but stand up and say a few words of comfort and justice for the Night King.

The emperor snorted in his heart. Seeing that Ye Xiaohan's subordinates were still trying to speak for Ye Xiaohan as usual, he was secretly delighted. Even if his good brother was still protected by others, he would not let this brother continue to snatch the glory from him, the Emperor Zhongyue.

"Shut up! It's so disgraceful to make so much noise in the court!" The emperor waved his hand and threw the memorial in his hand at the noisy officials below.

The scene suddenly became quiet, and the emperor glanced at them fiercely. Now, under the name of his faction, there is no lackey like Yun Xiang to speak. In the past, when Yun Xiang was still around, it was Yun Xiang who acted as his mouthpiece to speak.

But even if Prime Minister Yun is useless, he has other candidates to take the position.

The emperor gave a look and a minister took a big step forward.

This is Lord Dong, a first-rank official in the Secretariat. Ever since Prime Minister Yun was marginalized by the Emperor, Lord Dong has become increasingly valued by the Emperor.

Lord Dong knew what the emperor meant without the emperor saying anything. He took the lead in proposing that the Night King should rest and recuperate, while everyone in the court should work together to handle government affairs.

I have to say that Lord Dong is very measured in his words. Although his words seem fair, his underlying meaning is actually biased towards the Emperor.

But what if everyone knows Mr. Dong’s inner thoughts!

They had no way to refute it. In any case, they couldn't let the Night King come out right away. What's more, there were countless officials and generals in the court who could be called upon...

The right prime minister also knew this was true. He stood up and said to everyone in a fair manner: "Master Dong is right. There is no need for you to make a fuss. Now, the most urgent task is for us to come up with a solution together."

Everyone was thinking, the question is - without Ye Wang, the backbone that Zhong Yue once relied on the most, what should they do?
