The First Tyrant of Daxia

Xiao Yuxiang and Murong Shunhua's eyes wandered across everyone's faces.

When Qin Yun said this, he had already anticipated the changes in these people's expressions.

If a normal person suddenly hears about something like a snake-man monster, he will definitely be scared from the bottom of his heart.

It would be impossible not to be afraid.

Even the knowledgeable Gu Chuntang showed a hint of fear in his eyes.

After all, those snake-man monsters are not something that humans can resist. It is not shameful at all to be full of fear of such horrible monsters.

"Mother, is what you said true? Are those snake monsters really so scary?" Qin Rui's little face was slowly filled with fear.

A child like him was so scared that he felt cold all over.

Xiao Yuxiang hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid. With your father and mother here, those monsters can't hurt you."

"Yeah!" After hearing Xiao Yuxiang's words, Qin Rui nodded obediently.

He grew up almost entirely listening to stories about Qin Yun, so he naturally had great trust in his father and believed that he could protect him.

However, many officials present did not think so.

Minister of Personnel Cao Yun said in a deep voice: "If the snake-man monster that the Queen described is true, then wouldn't it be very dangerous for Your Majesty to lead the army to rescue General Xiao Jian?"

"Yes!"

"If something happens to your majesty, what should the Great Xia Empire do?"

"Your Majesty is too impulsive. Those snake monsters are so terrifying that they are definitely not something that his 200,000-man army can handle."

"You should discuss this matter with us. How can Your Majesty make a decision on your own?"

Many officials spoke up and agreed, believing that Qin Yun was very impulsive and should discuss with them before deciding how to rescue Xiao Jian and the others.

Instead of leading the army alone to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.

Qin Yun is the emperor of the Great Xia Empire. If something happens on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, what should this huge empire do?

Although Qin Yun has not been in the Great Xia Empire in recent years, he was only on the Western Expedition, which is completely different from the situation where something happened.

If something really happened to Qin Yun on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, the Great Xia Empire would be leaderless, and at that time, the Great Xia Empire would be even more dangerous.

Murong Shunhua saw the faces of these officials, but sneered: "My Lords, if His Majesty really did what you said and returned to the capital to discuss with you, then time would have passed, and General Xiao Jian and the 600,000 or 700,000 troops would have been sacrificed."

"With such a huge loss in one go, even the huge Daxia will not be able to hold on. When the snake army and the white-armored army come to attack in large numbers, who can meet them?"

These words left the officials who had raised questions speechless.

Cao Yun bowed calmly and said, "Mrs. Murong is right, but as the queen of a country and the mother of the crown prince, it is reasonable for Empress Xiao to rule the country from behind the curtain."

"You are just a concubine. Why are you interfering in state affairs here? Leave immediately! Otherwise, it will be the harem interfering in government affairs! It will implicate the Empress, which will be bad!"

"Yup!"

"The harem interfering in government affairs is probably a taboo in the court!"

"As the mother of the Crown Prince, it's ok for the Queen to participate in state affairs, but it's a bit too much for the Imperial Concubine to enter the court."

"Quickly withdraw! Stop disturbing the court meeting!"

For a time, many officials criticized Murong Shunhua and wished to drive him out.

A sneer appeared on Cao Yun's lips.

Xiao Yuxiang scolded, "Shut up! The people in the court are all officials in charge of local affairs, but they are making as much noise as ordinary people in a market. How can this be tolerated?!"

Officials are still arguing.

Although Xiao Yuxiang was the queen and the biological mother of the prince, she was still a woman in the harem after all. In addition, she usually did not care much about state affairs, so she did not have much authority in the eyes of officials.

As for Crown Prince Qin Rui, he is very young and naturally has no dignity at all.

For a moment, the court really became like a vegetable market.

A group of people interfered in the government affairs of Murong Shunhua's harem and even blamed Qin Yun.

Sayings like he has no sense of the overall situation, has no vision, has abandoned the empire for many years, acts impulsively, etc., are all remarks that belittle Qin Yun.

But these officials were very cunning. They all started with talking about national affairs, making themselves appear sincere and thinking about the good of the empire, which was righteousness.

They naturally won't give people any room to talk.

Gu Chuntang frowned, he knew that he should tell these people to shut up.

"Stop right there!" Gu Chuntang shouted harshly.

As the prime minister of the Great Xia Empire and their immediate superior, Gu Chuntang's authority was much greater, and some officials shut up.

However, these officials were basically the ones who fought back, while the ones who started the war were still chattering and making noises.

Gu Chuntang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

At this moment, the Grand Tutor Shen Qin, who was standing opposite Gu Chuntang, spoke.

"Shut up, everyone. Can't the Queen and Prime Minister Gu control you? What are you saying? If His Majesty hears, you will all become prisoners!"

After hearing this, the officials who were still chattering suddenly shut their mouths.

Shen Qin said calmly: "Listen to what you are saying. If His Majesty were here, would you still dare to speak like this? You are such a fearless bunch!"

The official who had been chattering just now shrank his neck and broke out in a cold sweat.

Cao Yun said righteously: "Master Shen, we are all doing this for the good of Daxia. We will say this even in front of His Majesty!"

"Because we are not afraid of life or death. As long as the Great Xia Empire can get on the right path, it doesn't matter if we die!"

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

Some officials who had kept silent suddenly spoke up again.

The corners of Shen Qin's mouth twitched. These guys can really cause trouble.

Based on his understanding of Qin Yun, if he were here, none of these guys would be able to escape, and a beating would be the least of their worries.

"Are you finished?"

At this moment, Murong Shunhua, who was the target of verbal criticism, finally spoke.

Many officials looked at Murong Shunhua, still with a righteous look on their faces, as if they wanted to drive her out of the court.

However, at this moment, Murong Shunhua suddenly took out a golden imperial edict.

In the entire Great Xia Empire, there is only one person who can use the dragon-patterned imperial edict.

That’s Qin Yun!

Murong Shunhua scolded: "Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing His Majesty in person, why don't you kneel down?"

All the officials were shocked. The dragon pattern on the imperial edict could not be faked. It was genuine.

They were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground.
