At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

The voices came one after another and were extremely intense, as if they would not give up until the Empress issued an order today to ban the Dune Kingdom from sending troops.

At this moment, Lei Zhenning, who was standing in front of the court, had a gloomy expression on his face.

It’s not that he is unwilling to help the empress at this time.

It was simply that the wave of opposition from the court officials was too loud.

If he stood up at this time, he would be besieged by civil and military officials in the court.

However, just as the empress was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, a eunuch's loud voice suddenly came from outside the palace gate.

"I received an urgent memorial from the Right General of the Imperial Court, the Ninth Prince Xiao Yan, which was sent over eight hundred miles away! There is also something else presented by the Ninth Prince, which I respectfully invite Your Majesty to review!"

As the voice rang out, a eunuch hurried into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, holding a memorial in his hand.

After a few breaths, the urgent memorial from Xiao Yan, which was sent over a distance of 800 miles, appeared in the hands of the empress.

Seeing this, all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly fell silent.

As one of the three commanders in the Northern Frontier War, Xiao Yan was leading his troops to fight against the barbarians on the front line.

At this moment, an urgent memorial was suddenly delivered over an distance of 800 miles, and everyone wanted to know what it contained.

The empress slowly opened the memorial and looked at it, her eyes constantly scanning the lines of text.

As time goes by slowly.

The gloomy look on the empress's face disappeared, and was replaced by an excited look!

At the front of the court, Xu Jinsong noticed the empress's reaction and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Normally, he rarely publicly stood up to oppose the empress's decisions.

Today is different. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he does not want to see the Daliang Dynasty and the Shaqiu Dynasty go to war at all.

Because once the war starts, it will cause loss of manpower and wealth at the very least, and the country will be in danger at the worst.

The reason why there is such a fierce momentum in the court today is naturally due to his instigation behind the scenes.

It is no exaggeration to say that if nothing unexpected happens today, he is at least 70% sure that he can make the empress revoke her order.

"Lord Xu, take a look for yourself."

The empress quickly read the contents of the entire memorial and then turned her attention to Xu Jinsong.

The eunuch at the side quickly took the memorial, walked down the jade steps, came in front of Xu Jinsong, and handed the memorial to him respectfully.

Xu Jinsong, who already had a bad feeling in his heart, immediately opened the memorial to check.

But it doesn't matter if you don't see it.

At first glance, even Xu Jinsong's eyelids began to twitch!

The Dune Dynasty sent troops?

How can this be? !

Xu Jinsong's pupils widened unconsciously. What Xiao Yan said in this memorial was quite clear and understandable.

After the army recaptured the city of Ji'an, they discovered soldiers from the Dune Dynasty in the city.

And at this moment, the captured Dune Dynasty soldier has been escorted out of the palace gate!

"What happened to Lord Xu? What happened?"

"Did something happen on the front line?"

"Lord Xu, what exactly is said in the memorial?"

"..."

While Xu Jinsong was standing there in a daze, the civil and military officials around him could no longer hold their patience and started asking questions.

Some of the older ministers couldn't help but come forward and want to review the memorials with Xu Jinsong.

"The Dune Dynasty has dispatched troops."

After being silent for nearly dozens of breaths, Xu Jinsong finally spoke.

But as soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt of thunder falling from the blue in the court, instantly causing a huge uproar!

"The Dune Dynasty has sent troops? How is this possible!"

"The Dune Dynasty is far away in the Far North! How could the army cross thousands of miles and come to our Daliang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu, is it possible that the news is wrong?"

"..."

The officials who had previously had very radical attitudes were now extremely reluctant to believe the news that the Dune Kingdom had sent troops.

"Bring the people up."

The empress was too lazy to waste time talking to these officials, so she waved her hand and gave the order.

Shortly after he finished speaking, a dozen imperial guards and a general wearing black helmets and armor entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

At the same time, in the center of these dozen Royal Guards, a blond, blue-eyed, burly man was being tied up with iron chains.

"I am Zhang Huaiyi, a lieutenant general under the command of the Ninth Prince. I have been ordered by the military to send this soldier from the Dune Kingdom back to the imperial court. Your Majesty, please review it!"

The leading general in black helmet and black armor, when he saw the empress, immediately clasped his hands together and knelt on one knee.

As soon as Zhang Huaiyi finished speaking, a dozen royal guards quickly dispersed, and the Dune Kingdom soldiers who were tied up with iron chains appeared in the sight of the empress and a group of court officials.

"They are actually soldiers of the Dune Dynasty? What on earth does the Dune Dynasty want to do?!"

"My Great Liang Dynasty did not attack them, but they attacked my Great Liang Dynasty first. This is intolerable!"

"A bunch of northern barbarians who have no knowledge of civility and etiquette actually dare to interfere in the affairs of our Liang Dynasty! They are really tired of living!"

"..."

When the court officials saw the appearance of the soldiers of the Dune Dynasty, the public opinion in the court quickly changed.

The officials who had just looked extremely indignant and seemed to be speaking out for the country, began to condemn the Dune Dynasty.

Obvious.

The irrefutable evidence is already in front of everyone. Unless you are a fool, you should know what to say at this moment.

"My dear ministers, did you see that? It's not that I am ambitious, nor is it that the commander at the front is greedy and reckless."

"Even though our Daliang Dynasty only wants to protect the country and the people, the Shaqiu people who destroyed the country are definitely not good people!"

The words that came out of the empress's mouth again, her words further strengthened the Dune Dynasty's determination to send troops.

Others have already come to my house to fight. If I don’t fight back, I will be seen as weak!

"Lord Xu, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Then, the empress's gaze slowly shifted to Xu Jinsong.

Ever since the soldiers of the Dune Dynasty were brought into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xu Jinsong has remained silent, making it impossible to tell what he is thinking.

After silence for dozens of breaths, Xu Jinsong finally responded.

"In reply to your Majesty, I think... now that things have come to this, you can order the commander on the front line to annihilate the barbarian troops and continue to march north."

Even though he was extremely reluctant, Xu Jinsong had no choice but to agree with the empress's decision to send troops to the Dune Dynasty.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?"

After getting Xu Jinsong's support, the empress turned her gaze to the officials present.

"Your Majesty's command is obeyed!"

Xu Jinsong had already made a compromise, so no one in the court, whether civil or military, dared to speak out against it.

"I am very pleased that you, my dear ministers, are so loyal to the country."

Finally, a look of satisfaction appeared on the empress's face.
