The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

There was fighting outside the royal capital, but inside the palace there was peace and a grand banquet was being held.

The Empress is in a good mood today!

Because she not only wanted to win over the Li family, but also to prove to all officials that our Great Qi was not doomed! There were still loyal ministers and the King of Qin, Li Jize!

"My beloved ministers!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Everyone, please take your seats!"

At the empress's command, all civil and military officials began to take their seats in order of their official rank.

As the head of the noble family, the Li family naturally sat in the front row of military generals, and Huang Suqiu was the focus of the entire audience today.

This is not...

The Empress immediately asked Huang Suqiu, "How is Madam Li these days? Is there anything missing?"

This one sentence made Old Lady Li, Li Jihuan, and Chen Anran nervous.

She was afraid that Eunuch Gao would go back and file a complaint, or that Huang Suqiu would tell others about what was happening at home. Her son was in favor and she was afraid that the emperor would punish them.

But surprisingly, Huang Suqiu is really kind!

She waved her hand with a smile, "Oh, it's nothing, everything is fine! It's just that Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law, Wang Yuanya, has been kept in the palace! What do you think... should we let her come out and meet our family?"

How is that possible?

Wang Yuanya is an important hostage in the hands of the empress. Can I release her for you?

Secondly, when she came out and saw the empress, how could she not know that the empress had previously disguised herself as a man to tease her?

As an emperor, isn't it a bit shameless for you to do these things?

"Cough cough..."

When the empress coughed, Eunuch Gao immediately understood and spoke up, "Madam Li, don't worry! Your daughter-in-law is doing well in the palace. His Majesty loves her very much and has even given her his own Yongshou Palace for her to cultivate."

"that……"

Mother-in-law Huang Suqiu wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, Eunuch Gao forced her to change the subject and said, "Let's eat first! If there is anything else, we can talk about it another day!"

The Empress nodded, and Eunuch Gao shouted, "Serve the meal!"

Suddenly, a large group of palace maids and eunuchs carrying various delicacies entered the banquet hall.

Naturally, many civil and military officials would flatter the emperor and thank him.

The empress lifted the golden cup in her hand and began to speak, "My dear ministers! I do not blame you for what happened before! Because, if I were in your shoes, I would have panicked when I heard that the rebels were coming. But today... the facts prove that we still have loyal ministers in the Great Qi! Thanks to the bravery of the Imperial Guards and the Royal Commander's Guards, the rebels were unable to break through the Royal Capital. In addition, I have news to share with you today. I have ordered the Prince Consort, Commandant Wang Tongjiao, to ask the King of Qin and his Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry to come to your rescue!"

At this point, the Empress's eyes swept across the faces of the ministers in a playful manner, and then she raised her voice and said, "I believe it! The siege by the rebels is only temporary! As they say, a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. I know clearly who is a loyal minister in times of crisis, and who is a treacherous minister!"

After hearing this, the ministers blushed with embarrassment. They really thought that they were finished some time ago!

The empress rang the bell to summon them, but no one came.

But now...

It's really a slap in the face!

As the empress finished her speech, of course, all the ministers present raised their glasses and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Isn’t that wise?

In order to get Li Jize to send troops, he even gave away the throne of the emperor.

That's the empress's husband! Power is paramount, and the empress is the most beautiful woman in the Qi Dynasty. Regardless of whether you're tempted or not, these ministers are very tempted.

If they were Li Jize, they would probably choose to send troops to rescue!

During the meal, everyone ate.

The empress kept chatting with Huang Suqiu, and all they talked about were trivial matters in life.

This was the emperor's way of declaring his favor. The emperor was chatting with you in front of all the civil and military officials. This also told everyone that the emperor, the King of Qin, and the Li family had reconciled, and Li Jize would definitely lead troops to rescue them.

This is not...

A eunuch rushed in!

Eunuch Gao came over directly upon seeing this, and the young eunuch whispered something in his ear that suddenly brightened his eyes.

Looking at the empress sitting on the dragon throne, eating, drinking and chatting, Eunuch Gao smiled and came over hunched over, "Your Majesty! The prince consort and his family are back!"

"what?"

As expected, the Empress was ecstatic! Today is such a good day.

A great day for celebration!

"Quick! Quickly announce!"

"Announce! The imperial consort, Commandant Wang Tongjiao, is here to see you!"

Eunuch Gao opened his mouth and shouted, and then passed it on one after another. Soon, the dusty and dirty (because they got through the water gate) son-in-law Wang Tongjiao and others came in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty! I, Zhao Xinzhi, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

Looking at these two people, the empress was filled with emotion and quickly asked them to get up.

She didn't ask any more questions, only one: "Has the King of Qin brought his troops?"

Zhao Xinzhi was about to speak, but unexpectedly, his son-in-law Wang Tongjiao glanced around and spoke first, "Your Majesty! We have fulfilled our mission! The King of Qin has led the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry, the Qin Army, and four warships to Qinghe County!"

Wow!

As soon as the news about Wang Tongjiao came out, everyone at the scene was shocked.

What the hell is this guy Li Jize doing?

He had been at sea for less than half a year, and not only did he have the original Beiliang Wolf Cavalry, he also created a Qin army and four warships?

Can he turn beans into soldiers, or can he turn stones into gold?

How did they do it without money or people?

Of course, this is not the key point! No one would pursue Li Jize's private recruitment of soldiers, especially at this time when the city was surrounded by chaotic troops and was about to be broken into at any time...

The empress was indeed ecstatic when she heard this!

She slammed the table, stood up, and burst into laughter. "Good! Good! Good! My dear ministers, did you all hear clearly? Those bandits, no matter how many there are, are just victims of disaster! And my King Qin, my General Tiance! He came with the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry, the Qin Army, and warships. No matter how powerful the bandits are, can they still float on the water?"

Seeing the emperor so happy, the situation seemed to be turning around, and the ministers naturally knelt down one by one, shouting: "Long live the emperor! God bless the great Qi!"

Overwhelmed by the successive good news, and with the flattery of her ministers, the empress shook off her previous decline and raised her hands high, shouting, "Ancestors, do you see this? My Great Qi is invincible!"

Zhao Xinzhi opened his mouth, but hesitated several times to speak...

Li Jize is a jerk! This soldier is not easy to move, there is a price to pay. He has to exchange the position of the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World!

But Wang Tongjiao looked at the officials around him and they pulled him back and stopped him from speaking!

If you say it now, wouldn't it be a blow to morale? If you say it now, you're not hitting Li Jize in the face, you're hitting the emperor in the face!
