The strongest nine thousand years old

The meeting hall became much quieter.

Nearly half of the seats were empty.

The atmosphere was dull and depressing, and everyone looked at each other in silence.

"I heard from the Imperial Hospital that His Majesty has recovered?"

"It's almost certain. Otherwise, can Your Majesty summon us to a court meeting?"

"This is outrageous. There was a fight at the gate of the palace yesterday, and today the sun is shining brightly."

"Stop talking, do you want to be accused of treason? Last night, those Jinyiwei arrested people like mad dogs. Several houses were raided."

"Why do I feel that this is a trap set up by His Majesty?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had been talking in low voices just now all fell silent.

"Your Majesty is here!"

With a loud shout, Yan Yunzheng strode into the hall and sat on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor."

All the ministers bowed and saluted.

Yan Yunzheng waved his hand, "No need to be polite, stand up."

Looking at Yan Yunzheng's ruddy complexion and full of energy, how could he look like he was poisoned and on the verge of death?

The ministers exchanged glances with each other and looked repeatedly at the man who had just said that His Majesty had set a trap - Zheng Chong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

This guy looks honest, but I didn't expect he is so cunning.

"I was poisoned by accident, and Zhang Bai led the soldiers of the Beijing camp to rebel. The eight noble families of Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Wang also secretly sent assassins into the palace. They are worthy of death," Yan Yunzheng said coldly, "The crime of treason is to exterminate three clans! I have already ordered the Jinyiwei to confiscate the property and exterminate the clan to serve as a warning to others."

"All the gentlemen present are the backbone of Dayan. I don't want the officials to force the emperor to abdicate again. Do you hear me clearly? Remember me?"

Zheng Chong said angrily: "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, but a few villains actually want to usurp the throne. They really don't know how to live or die!"

Zheng Chong bowed and said respectfully: "I wish to serve the Great Yan with all my heart and soul until my death."

The other ministers secretly cursed Yan Yunzheng as a "sycophant" in their hearts and quickly expressed their loyalty to him.

"Your Majesty is merciful. You only exterminated three clans. In my opinion, it is not excessive to exterminate nine clans for the crime of treason!"

"Your Majesty is in good health, which is a blessing for Dayan. Your Majesty should choose an auspicious day to worship the gods."

"The Jinyiwei killed the rebels, and Eunuch Chen was extremely brave. Your Majesty should reward him generously and not let those who have made contributions feel discouraged."

Chen Dong, who was standing next to Yan Yunzheng, raised his eyebrows and looked deeply at the Minister of Works Cao Ning.

This guy's son, the greasy-haired and powdered young man, is still imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison. Since this guy knows what's best for him, the powdered young man should be released.

However, no one knows whether the handsome young man was dead or alive when the Jinyiwei Mansion was attacked.

Chen Dong was just thinking about it when he heard Yan Yunzheng say, "Jinyiwei Commander Chen Dong has made great contributions in protecting the emperor, and he will be rewarded with a mansion. Xiao Li, Yu Wenliang and others have also made meritorious contributions, and they will be awarded a bullfighting suit, and they can wear swords when entering the palace, and they don't have to kneel when they see me. For the rest of the meritorious people, the Ministry of War will reward them with silver and promote them to higher positions according to their merits."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The minister obeys the order."

Chen Dong, Xiao Li, Yuwen Liang, and the Minister of War spoke one after another.

"The Beijing Camp has been abolished. From today on, the Beijing Camp configuration will be cancelled and the size of the City Guard will be expanded. Yanjing City and the surrounding counties will be under the command of the City Guard." Yan Yunzheng continued.

One step to the sky!

He Feng, who was specially allowed to enter the palace, immediately showed an ecstatic look. Although he was still the commander of the city guards, the number of men under his command had increased dozens of times. His weight as a commander was suddenly raised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He Feng knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "I will definitely protect Yanjing City for Your Majesty!"

"Get up, I will always watch over you." Yan Yunzheng said.

He Feng's face became solemn, and he suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders was heavy.

“Xiao Dongzi once mentioned to me that we should build a martyrs’ cemetery so that all the soldiers who fought for Dayan could enjoy the incense and offerings of Dayan’s subjects. Before I could make a decision, I encountered an assassination attempt by the rebels.” Yan Yunzheng sighed deeply, tears flashing in his eyes.

"The rebels plotted to assassinate me, and many soldiers died to protect me. I feel deeply guilty. Therefore, I decided to build a martyrs' cemetery. All the soldiers who protected the northern border and all the soldiers who protected me will have their names engraved on the monument. As long as Dayan survives, they will enjoy Dayan's offerings forever! The regulations are the same as the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

As soon as Yan Yunzheng finished speaking, the meeting hall suddenly became lively.

Monument to heroes, cemetery for martyrs!

On par with the Imperial Ancestral Temple!

If you die for His Majesty and for Dayan, your name will be engraved and you will enjoy the incense and offerings from Dayan.

Who doesn’t seek fame and fortune in this world?

Yan Yunzheng gave them a chance to leave their names in history!

Especially the generals, they were breathing rapidly, looking at Yan Yunzheng with red eyes, wishing they could go into battle and kill the enemy right now to earn a good reputation for themselves in the future.

"On behalf of the deceased soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, I would like to thank Your Majesty for his grace! I am willing to die for Your Majesty and for Dayan!" Xiao Li shouted.

Yuwen Liang also roared like a tiger, "On behalf of the fallen Western Army soldiers, I would like to thank your majesty for his grace! I am willing to die for your majesty and for Dayan!"

Chen Dong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I, on behalf of the deceased Jinyiwei, thank your majesty for your grace! I am willing to die for your majesty and for Dayan!"

Others looked on with envy and a hint of regret.

The Minister of Finance whispered, "Your Majesty, the treasury does not have that much money to build a mausoleum."

Before Chen Dong and his companions even needed to speak, those generals had already started criticizing.

"Master Zhang, do you want those soldiers to die in vain?"

"The soldiers sacrificed their lives for their country and should be remembered by the world. Lord Zhang intends to stop us. Do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with those wronged souls?"

"Mr. Zhang, you are not worthy of being a human being!"

"I will lead my troops to surround the Ministry of Revenue and see if your Ministry of Revenue is so clean!"

When the Minister of Revenue saw that he had angered everyone, he immediately became timid.

"Your Majesty, if you have enough silver, please help the Ministry of Revenue build a mausoleum."

Yan Yunzheng sneered: "Ministers are here to solve problems for me, not to create problems for me! If you can't even solve this problem, how can you be a minister?

I will give you one last chance. Can you build the Martyrs Cemetery? Don't force me to hit anyone!"

Yan Yunzheng was angry but didn't utter a word, and snorted heavily. But the murderous aura on her still frightened Lord Zhang.

Lord Zhang said quickly: "I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust and the people's expectations. The Martyrs Cemetery will be built within a month!"

Yan Yunzheng nodded with satisfaction.

Whether it was the northern border or the rebels’ attack on the palace just now, Yan Yunzheng was the winner.

The fruits of victory are rich, and she carries the momentum of a great victory, like a sword drawn from its sheath, no one can stop its edge!

Yu Wenqing, who stood at the head of all officials, looked at Yan Yunzheng with a dignified face and couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Chen Dong again and saw that Chen Dong was winking at him with a look full of contempt, which made him feel even worse.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, the barbarians are coming again!"
