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

Thinking of this, Gao Pan frowned and looked at Ruan Daying. He asked, "Prime Minister, why do you have to make fun of me? Why did the late emperor meet with you? Did he have a dream?"

Ruan Daying was a little depressed.

It is really difficult to communicate with people who are of the same mind as Gao Pan!

Why was he so determined that the Empress must be dead? Why did he feel that she couldn't survive?

Thinking of this, Ruan Daying was just about to continue to persuade Gao Pan to follow his routine step by step.

What I didn't expect was...

"Who said I'm dead?"

A familiar voice sounded. It turned out to be the empress who had been "ruling the country from behind the curtain". She was even more anxious than Ruan Daying!

This Gao Pan keeps saying that I'm dead, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

Besides, the Empress's Qi cultivation skills are not good. She is the emperor! Why should she be bullied?

Gao Pan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that there were other people here. He stood up subconsciously, put his hand on the sword at his waist, and made a gesture as if he was going to "kill and silence" the witness.

but……

After turning around and seeing the empress standing in front of him, Gao Pan was completely stunned!

What...what the hell?

Oh my god! He wondered if he was seeing things. How could it be possible? How could there be a "female empress"?

Could it be that I was having a nightmare like Ruan Daying? Was I seeing a ghost?

Facing the dumbfounded Gao Pan, especially seeing his hand on the sword at his waist, the empress frowned and asked, "General Gao, what's the matter? Are you trying to kill the king?"

After reacting...

Gao Pan quickly released his hand from the sword, muttering to himself, "I, I, I... I..."

It's so embarrassing and uncomfortable!

If he were a loyal minister, he would have knelt down and cried out, "I am guilty of death!"

If he were a treacherous minister, he would have been shouting, "How dare you! You actually impersonate Your Majesty! You are committing the crime of blasphemy and deceiving the emperor!"

However, Gao Pan was neither a loyal minister nor a treacherous minister.

He is a centrist!

Kneeling down and saying "I am guilty of death", it is possible that his behavior will offend the current ruler, Emperor Wu of Zheng, and he will be guilty of a capital crime!

But if I really want to kill the "fake" in front of me with a knife, who knows whether this empress is real or fake?

So, facing the empress's question, Gao Pan was caught in the middle, not knowing whether to kneel or behead.

At the critical moment, it was Ruan Daying who stood up and gave Gao Pan a way out.

"General Gao! This is the Holy Emperor! Why don't you kneel when you see him?"

This statement is equivalent to saying that I, Ruan Daying, support the empress and I think she is genuine.

Gao Pan's expression kept changing from gloomy to bright, especially his eyes, which were looking around everywhere in the room.

He was afraid that if he didn't kneel, a group of swordsmen would rush out from all directions and hack him to death!

Good thing...

After all, Gao Pan had crawled out from a pile of dead bodies, so he could still see through the swords and weapons at a glance.

In other words, there were no assassins ambushing in the Ruan Mansion!

Because of this, he did not kneel down, but instead laughed loudly and said, "Great Minister, why are you playing such a joke on me?"

In a word, when it was the turn of the Empress and Ruan Daying, they were both furious!

The Empress: "How dare you! I am the true emperor, how can this be a joke?"

Ruan Daying: "Gao Pan, how can I, at my age, joke about something like this?"

"Great Lord, please stop joking! She does look a lot like the late emperor! But she can't be your majesty. If she were, how could she have escaped from the encirclement of the bandits?"

This is fatal!

Because Ruan Daying's suspicion is actually reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

If the empress had an army to escort her out of the siege and then head south here, everything would make sense.

She's a woman! How could she possibly walk out of the palace?

"This……"

Ruan Daying turned around and looked at the empress with a bit of doubt. Yes! How did a woman like her come to the south?

The empress had no choice but to tell the story of how a few bandits accidentally mistook her for a eunuch and brought her to the south by mistake.

Gao Pan: “…”

Ruan Daying: “…”

They both thought this was such a ridiculous coincidence! A bunch of rebels mistook the very people they wanted to overthrow and kill for eunuchs, and even accomplished the "migration south" that no other Great Qi official had been able to accomplish?

Is it that easy to bring the emperor here?

"Even so, how can you escape from the clutches of the thieves?"

"I escaped by surprise!"

The empress's words almost made Gao Pan laugh out loud!

A bunch of bandits not only helped you escape, but also let you get away without even keeping a close eye on you?

Even storytellers don’t dare to say that!

Ruan Daying, who was standing by, grabbed Gao Pan's arm. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Gao Pan! I believe she is real! Although it is very bizarre, I have the honor of seeing the Holy Face. I even compared it with the handwriting of the Holy Emperor. It is unique!"

Gao Pan: “…”

He didn't say anything, just stared at Ruan Daying, not knowing whether he should say "MMP" or not!

It’s not that Gao Pan didn’t know that she was real, but even if he knew that she was real, shouldn’t he pretend to be fake at this time?

And most importantly, the late emperor is back. Have you ever considered how the current emperor Zheng Wu will cope with it?

They gave Ruan Daying the positions of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of War, and Gao Pan was even named "General of the State" after he defected.

Do you know how high an official position this is?

It can be said that it has all been sealed.

You have been given such an important official position. What's the point of selling out your current boss and changing to another one?

Are you really the same as those idiots in the north?

But the truth is, there is a kind of person in this world who doesn't pursue fame or fortune! To be more precise, the fame they pursue isn't this kind of fame, but a fame that will be passed down through the ages and recorded in history.

Seeing Gao Pan's gloomy face and silence, Ruan Daying sighed helplessly and said, "The north is in chaos now, and the south is still fighting among itself! The most ridiculous thing is that in the court today..."

Having said that, he rubbed his bruised face and recounted what had happened.

After that…

Nguyen Da Anh looked at Gao Pan, his old face flushed red, and he shouted excitedly: "Such a court, such colleagues, such a monarch, how can they save Da Qi from danger! How can they save our nation from disaster?"

Gao Pan: “…”

He didn't say anything, just remained silent and stared blankly at the front, without saying a word.

In a hurry, Ruan Daying unexpectedly knelt down with a "thump".

"Great Minister, what are you doing?"

"General Gao, you are the only one who can save the political situation in the South! Can you please help me?"

The Empress looked at Gao Pan from the side and said in the same tone, "If I can get General Gao's help, what is a general? I will not be stingy with a princely title!"

Make the king!

You must know that there is only one king of a different surname in Da Qi!
