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

This is so embarrassing...

Not only did the consort publicly reveal the embarrassing fact that she had used her "body" to exchange for Li Jize's dispatch of troops, but most importantly, he was slapped in the face by Li Jize. He didn't care. In his opinion, being an imperial duke was not as prestigious as being the Grand Marshal of the Army.

When the empress blushed and felt a little embarrassed, the Minister of War Yu Qianxiang shouted, "Bullshit! All the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects! Let him, Li Jize, come to rescue you, how dare he put forward conditions?"

Wang Tongjiao was now desperate. He asked Yu Qianxiang, "May I ask the Minister of War! Ever since the capital was besieged, the imperial court has issued a decree to all troops to come to the rescue. Has any army come to the rescue?"

Ah this...

This is a bit embarrassing!

After all, Li Jize is a loyal minister, so he should have no regrets and work hard to serve the king. After all, you are a loyal minister!

The other generals are dispensable, they are all fence-sitters anyway!

People are like this, harsh on kindness and tolerant of evil.

why?

Because the kind ones are easy to control, but the evil ones will really send troops to beat you up.

So Li Jize saw this clearly, so Li Jize no longer wanted to be a loyal minister.

"Even so, it's not right for a son-in-law like you to dare to ask for the position of Grand Marshal of the Army. If it was given to Li Jize, he's already in this position. What if he rebels in the future? How will the Holy Emperor cope with it?"

Minister of Rites Kong Youxiang continued to ask.

result……

Prince Consort Wang Tongjiao once again asked a soul-searching question, "May I ask everyone, which of the Great Qi troops is strictly His Majesty's? Which one would obey the court? Even if Li Jize is the Grand Marshal of the Army, it is only an honorary title! The difficulties we face are real. There are rebel troops outside the capital!"

Ok?

It’s true, what Wang Tongjiao said is right!

Even though Li Jize held the title of Grand Marshal of the Army, he couldn't mobilize the troops of the Great Qi. At most, he could recruit soldiers and horses on his own, but that required money. Where did he get so much money? So much food?

"Bullshit! Your Highness is exaggerating! How could there be no loyal ministers in the Great Qi? Your Majesty is still the Son of Heaven! Everything in the world belongs to Your Majesty!"

Well! These guys who are full of evil intentions are obviously unable to argue with reason.

He started playing the same old tricks again, using empty principles to flatter the "Holy Son of Heaven".

The Empress also thinks so! Yes! I am the Emperor, and everything in this world belongs to me!

Li Jize is the King of Qin of the Great Qi. I respect him by asking him to come to the capital to defend the king. Why does he still want to extort the position of Grand Marshal of the Army from me?

Seeing that this group of treacherous ministers and the incompetent emperor were about to start courting death again, the son-in-law Wang Tongjiao simply threw up his hands and said in a cold voice, "Since that's the case, my colleagues, just ignore what I said before! You can execute me or Madam Li if you want. However... if this action angers Li Jize, he will join the rebel army and attack the capital. You have to think about how to deal with his wrath."

The ministers who were speaking incessantly about profound principles were choked and fell silent.

This is just like the big bad wolf beating the little white rabbit. Every time, the tiger says why aren't you wearing a hat? The tiger says it's uneducated! Can you find a better excuse?

As a result, when the big bad wolf said something to the left, the little white rabbit talked back, and when he said something to the right, the little white rabbit argued with him.

The Big Bad Wolf was completely speechless and couldn't find an excuse, so he just made one...

A big asshole is hitting you, why aren’t you wearing a hat!

The same goes for Wang Tongjiao. No matter what I say, you guys can always talk back. Fine, fine! You're so good at talking, I can't argue with you. Let Li Jize come with swords and guns and talk to you! You can talk to him and the rebels.

Ah this...

Indeed, the ministers at the scene looked at each other, and everyone was a little panicked.

Who just said that Li Jize’s mother should be executed?

Everyone was organizing their thoughts, wondering if they had spoken nonsense at that time.

Finally, I realized that I didn't say anything nonsense! We didn't say to execute Madam Li, we said to execute the prince consort, okay?

As for the execution of Madam Li...

Uh! Everyone subconsciously glanced at the Empress and found that she was standing there with a rather unhappy expression.

Because, it seemed that she was the one who wanted to vent her anger and kill Huang Suqiu!

But what could it be? Was the emperor wrong? Could the emperor admit his mistakes?

She said coldly, "How dare he, Li Jize! Could he... Could he..."

The empress was frustrated for a long time, and it seemed that she realized that once the capital was destroyed, Li Jize would really kill the king! Who could be punished?

"Isn't he afraid that the historian will record him?"

amount……

When the empress said this, everyone at the scene was speechless.

Do you think these civil and military officials will be recorded in history books in the future? Are they afraid?

Wang Tongjiao was a clever man. He keenly sensed the fear in these people. He continued to fan the dark wind and light the ghost fire, saying, "Everyone, I'm afraid you've already heard of firearms! This time, I saw Li Jize's Qin army. Almost every soldier had one!"

"puff!"

After he said this, the ministers present were all amused, wondering what the prince consort was going to say.

It’s actually a musket that even dogs don’t use?

"Wang Tongjiao, even if you want to scare people, can you please find another excuse?"

"We do have firearms, but they have a high chance of exploding. Soldiers would rather use swords and arrows than firearms!"

Everyone was mocking and ridiculing Wang Tongjiao.

until……

"I saw a black cannon pulled out of his warship, the size of a man's arms! I asked a soldier what it was, and he said it was a cannon! Used for attacking cities!"

Gudong!Gudong!

Laugh at you! Keep laughing!

When Wang Tongjiao mentioned the existence of the artillery, all the civil and military officials present, including the empress, swallowed their saliva in unison.

A musket the size of a two-person hug? What could possibly be the trigger for this thing?

Bigger iron balls?

If this thing hits the city wall, will it break the wall?

the most important is……

If Madam Li was killed as the son-in-law Wang Tongjiao had said before, Li Jize would have rebelled and joined the rebels.

Originally, they could only barely hold back the millions of bandits outside because of the high city walls. But once this kind of "artillery" was added, what would be their outcome?

This……

The empress thought of this and looked at Yu Qianxiang and shouted, "Yu Bingbu! As the Minister of War, have you ever heard of a cannon? If Li Jize really joins the rebel army, with this thing, can the walls of the royal capital be defended?"

"Ah this..."

Yu Qianxiang was embarrassed. He was sweating profusely and shook his head. "It's hard to say, hard to say! I have never seen the power of a cannon, and I don't know if the city walls can withstand it."
