My subjects are too rebellious!

Women are strange. She had even planned to seize the emperor's throne.

Now he blames the emperor for hiding the secret from him.

"Wan'er, are you saying that these are all the methods used by the emperor?"

Shangguan Wan'er replied cautiously: "My Lady, if it were you, when there were only 10,000 troops."

"How dare you kill a great general in front of all the civil and military officials in the court?"

Seeing that Wu Zetian was not angry because of her analogy, Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, if it were me, would I dare?"

Wu Zetian is very confused now.

His loyal dog Yu Huatian was imprisoned in the East Factory by His Majesty.

An Lushan, the General who conquered the West and came to his side, was a brainless person.

Now that one is dead, the other is probably in danger as well.

"I just want to seize your throne, why did you hide it from me for so many years?"

"Really."

"So I am such an untrustworthy person in his heart."

"I am his queen."

"Wan'er, do you think he is very hateful?"

Everyone wants to seize someone else's throne, that's nothing.

Aren't you also trying to protect your own throne by not allowing His Majesty to favor other concubines?

Seeing the Empress acting like a little woman, Shangguan Wan'er secretly despised her.

She doesn't let His Majesty touch herself, and she also doesn't let His Majesty touch other concubines.

However, Shangguan Wan'er would never dare to say these words.

However, Wu Zetian did not notice the change in Wan'er's expression.

Still blaming Qin Chuan in my heart.

After a while, I began to think about the current situation.

It's good for her but not for me.

And his arch-enemy, Lu Zhi, must be very happy at this moment.

But, it’s not.

After hearing what happened in the morning court, there was no change on Lu Zhi's expression.

He just responded with one sentence: "I understand, please leave." and said no more.

But the hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly, showing her inner uneasiness.

She didn't know whether she was feeling frightened, relieved, or happy at this moment?

All kinds of complicated emotions swirled in her heart and could not be calmed for a long time.

...

At this moment, the battlefield at Taihe Gate has been cleaned up, but the bright red bloodstains on the ground serve as a constant reminder to all ministers.

The emperor has already drawn his knife!

Qin Hui's party no longer dared to speak, and the same was true for Yan Song's party.

Qin Chuan looked at the ministers who were standing obediently in their seats and nodded with satisfaction.

He nodded to Zhang Rang beside him.

Zhang Rang understood immediately and took out the imperial edict to read out.

"I have heard that saints fear the will of heaven, and emperors obey the will of heaven."

"I specially appoint Aobai, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, as the General of the Western Expedition."

"Lead an army of 100,000 to fight against the evil and rebellion, and make sure the people in the border areas know the might of our great country and submit to us."

"Wherever you go, it is as if I am there in person. I hope you will work hard and live up to my trust. I hereby decree."

"The seventh day of the first year of Wude."

Oboi didn't expect that he would suddenly be appointed as the general.

He originally thought that he would never be able to lead troops into battle and kill the enemy in his lifetime.

He knelt down in great excitement.

"Your Majesty is very gracious, and Aobai is grateful."

"Your Majesty's great kindness, Aobai will never forget it."

"Aobai will be loyal for life, repay the favor with all his heart and soul, protect the people of the border, and will never let down your majesty's great gift."

Looking at the loyalty level above Aobai's head which had risen to 91 points, Qin Chuan was very satisfied.

"My dear, please don't be polite. You and I don't need to do this. Let's encourage each other."

Abahai burst into tears. At this moment he felt deeply guilty, blaming himself for why he had always opposed the emperor before.

He swore that he would be loyal to His Majesty, protect the border, and make up for his previous mistakes.

"Send it again."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Rang took out the second imperial edict, unfolded it and read it out.

"The eunuch in front of the emperor, Zheng Xiang, has made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion and has won my heart. I will promote him to the fourth rank and make him the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial eunuch seal."

"Zhengxiang, I bow to thank Your Majesty. Long live His Majesty."

At this moment, Zhengxiang, who was kneeling on the ground and stepping forward to express his gratitude, had a brand new look on his face.

No one could have imagined that a little eunuch sweeping the Qianqing Palace could rise to the top and become a close confidant of the emperor.

Some ministers became active and seemed to be thinking about how to curry favor with the new father-in-law.

"Pass it on again!"

Zhang Rang took out the last imperial edict and his face changed drastically when he saw its contents.

"pass!"

Zhang Rang was so frightened that he almost dropped the imperial edict in his hand.

However, he dared not keep it secret.

"Today, the palace is in turmoil, and the guards are not protecting me properly, putting my safety at risk."

"So from now on, I will form a special guard of 1,000 men to be responsible for my safety. They are allowed to meet officials without bowing, and can enter the palace with knives."

"Not subject to the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of War."

"Called Dragon Scale Guard!"

Having said this, Zhang Rang paused, but felt the cold gaze behind him.

He could only continue reading.

"Yes, the Black Armor Army guards have made great contributions and will take over the position of the palace guards."

"Appreciate this."

The ministers did not react in any way after hearing the first and second imperial edicts.

But when the third imperial edict was read, some of them could not help themselves and wanted to step forward to refute it.

But when they met the emperor's cold gaze, they were all scared back.

Feeling the solemn and murderous look on the faces of the Black Armored Army around them, they no longer dared to make a sound.

"It's all gone!"

Qin Chuan looked at the ministers below who were obeying his orders submissively and said with disdain.

He then stood up, swung his dragon robe with great domineering gesture, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

The voices of the ministers were heard behind him.

"Long live my emperor."

After the emperor left, all the ministers relaxed instantly.

"Xiang Yan, at this moment..."

"Do you want to die?" Yan Song immediately glared at Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu immediately understood and looked at the black-armored soldiers beside the imperial road, and instantly fell silent.

The same is true for other ministers.

Even the military commanders remained silent.

Today may be the quietest day since the end of the court period in the past 17 years.

Qin Chuan returned to the Qianqing Palace and changed his previous serious look. He listened excitedly to the beautiful voice in his mind.

"Congratulations to the dormitory for killing An Lushan, striking a blow to the Queen's power, and taking another step towards becoming the greatest emperor of all time."

"Reward the host with thirty years of internal strength."

"Reward the host with 10,000 Xuanjia troops."

"Increase national fortune by five points."

"Congratulations to the host for establishing the Dragon Scale Guard. I will reward the host with one million taels of silver."

"Congratulations to the host for personally appointing Aobai as the General of the Western Expedition and increasing Aobai's loyalty to 91."

"In view of the host's cultivation of confidants, I will reward 10,000 Black Armored Soldiers."

"Thirty years of ability."

"National fortune plus five."

"Special reward: The border guarded by Aobai will not be harassed by foreign tribes in the next year."

"Currently, Dawu's national fortune is 31. The higher the national fortune, the higher the probability of a genius appearing within the territory."

"At the same time, the number of natural disasters will also decrease."

"Note: The silver awarded by the system will first be stored in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Qin Chuan's mouth was split with smile as he listened to the series of rewards.

I originally thought that ten thousand Black Armored Soldiers were a little too few to replace the guards in the palace.

Now, there are 30,000 Black Armored Soldiers! That’s 30,000.

There are 30,000 Black Armored Army guarding outside, and 1,000 Dragon Scale Guards composed of the Xianzhen Camp inside.

My safety is finally completely guaranteed.

Now, I can finally sleep soundly.

However, Qin Chuan slept soundly.

However, Lu Zhi and Wu Zetian in the harem couldn't sleep.

You know, there are not only the Black Armor Army and the Dragon Scale Guards.

There are 2,500 swordsmen and axemen hidden in the harem!

The same is true for many ministers.

Previously, much of the news in the palace was delivered through the eunuchs of the East and West Factories or the palace guards.

Nowadays, if the emperor orders a raid on someone’s house, you’ll probably have to wait until your own house is surrounded before you know for sure, right?
