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

Officials: "..."

The empress was stunned. Seeing that no one in the court spoke, she shouted again, "Where is my General Tiance?"

The eunuch Gao beside him was so embarrassed that he picked his toes. He whispered a reminder, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the King of Qin has retired!"

With a jolt, the empress froze on the spot, her eyes wide open.

The entire court was plunged into a dead silence, and the atmosphere was as awkward as it could be.

Apparently...

The Empress of Great Qi was also frightened by the number of the rebel army, numbering one million, and habitually shouted, "Where is the King of Qin?"

In the past, whether it was the barbarian army marching south or the rebels causing chaos.

She never needed to worry, she only needed to ask, "Where is the King of Qin?"

Naturally, her fiancé Li Jize would stand up and help her defeat all the enemies.

but……

God played a joke on her!

After the Empress thought the situation was settled and she became increasingly dissatisfied with the King of Qin, who held military power, and deposed him...

Da Qi is experiencing a severe drought that has not been seen in hundreds of years!

The bandits have grown to a terrifying number of one million by sweeping away the victims, and are now surrounding Zhongjing.

How can this be good?

The empress began to panic, looking at the civil and military officials in the hall. Most of them were civil officials, and they were all at a loss.

Helplessly, the empress looked at the generals again...

Who would have thought that, suddenly, she would not have looked! After this look, all the generals lowered their heads or looked away.

joke!

Li Zhenbei, the rebel, is no longer a bandit. He now has a million soldiers! Who has the courage to lead an attack?

Secondly, Li Jize! A general who fought bravely for the empress, fighting for her all his life. Didn’t you see what happened to him?

There's no benefit in helping the empress fight, and you'll either die in battle, or even if you don't, you'll be killed or maimed when you return. Who would be willing to stand up for them?

Seeing the generals lowering their heads one by one, the empress sitting on the dragon throne felt very uncomfortable and terrified.

She glanced at all the officials...

The empress was horrified to discover that this was her Great Qi! This was her court!

Civil officials love money and military generals are afraid of death!

At this moment, the empress looked at the front row of generals, which was originally Li Jize's position.

She suddenly began to waver and regret.

Wasn’t it like this before?

In the past, when encountering these rebellious armies, as long as the Great Qi was threatened, that flowery and energetic young man would jump out at the first opportunity and ask to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, without having to worry about it himself.

But now...

"Your Majesty! I am willing to lead the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry to relieve the siege of Zhongjing!"

Ok?

Suddenly, a young voice sounded among the officials, and all the officials, including the empress, looked over in unison.

At the end of the generals, a young man in armor stepped out, clasped his hands together, and knelt on one knee on the ground.

Vaguely, the empress seemed to see the figure of the "King of Qin". She was overjoyed and was about to blurt out: "Li Ji..."

But soon, I just found that this young man looked 70% similar.

Eunuch Gao beside him whispered, "Your Majesty, this boy is Li Jin's second son, Li Jihuan. He has just taken over the leadership of the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry from the King of Qin. He has returned this time to guard the capital by imperial decree!"

The Empress suddenly realized it!!

In order to divide the Li family, she gave Li Jize's military power to Li Jihuan and transferred people back from the border.

This was the first time she met the second son of the Li family!

The Empress couldn't help but clap her hands in praise. "Excellent! As expected of a descendant of a military family, this is my Great Qi Tiger General! In that case, I will order you to lead the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry to lift the siege of Zhongjing! Upon success, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Jihuan immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

He was so motivated, firstly, because he had just taken command of the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry and wanted to prove himself with military achievements. Secondly, Li Jihuan had accompanied his elder brother, Li Jize, on guarding the border, and he had personally witnessed Li Jize build the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry. This army was capable of confronting the barbarian cavalry!

The officials and the emperor were frightened by the millions of rebels, but Li Jihuan, as a soldier, was very clear about it.

Bandits are bandits! No matter how many there are, they are no match for professional soldiers!

As long as he leads the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry to attack, a million-strong army will be nothing more than a million sheep.

pity……

Li Jihuan's abacus beads jingled loudly. He analyzed the situation from a military perspective, which was quite astute!

But the military has always been a continuation of politics, especially in the corrupt and backward dynasty of Da Qi, where politics was simply a joke.

This is not...

The chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, simply winked at a disciple among the officials.

The disciple, dressed in the censor's uniform, immediately jumped out, shouting, "Your Majesty! No!"

Li Jihuan was smiling one moment, but was totally MMP the next moment!

He finally got a chance to show off his merits, completely control the Northern Liang Cavalry, and make himself known to the emperor.

result……

The censor came out and caused trouble.

The empress also frowned, looked at the censor in front of her, and asked with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Why?"

"Your Majesty! You must recall the Northern Liang Wolf Riders to defend the capital. Right now, the capital is surrounded by disaster victims everywhere! Upon learning that the rebels are surrounding Zhongjing, I'm afraid that with ulterior motives, the victims of the capital will also rebel. Without the Northern Liang Wolf Riders, what will become of your Majesty's safety? What will become of the capital's safety? Your Majesty, for the sake of our country and our people, please reconsider!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil officials came out one after another and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Lean north on me!

These are the civil servants of the Great Qi. When something happens, they are all so confused that they can’t say a word!

When someone finally stood up, they immediately jumped out to oppose it.

Moreover, the reason they oppose it is for the safety of Your Majesty and the safety of the royal capital!

There seems to be nothing wrong with it, and there is no way to refute it.

Actually?

The civil officials feared a rebellion by the victims of the disaster in the capital, and only the Northern Liang Wolf Riders could provide them with safety. They said it was for the safety of His Majesty, but wasn't it also for the safety of themselves and their families?

The empress saw that this wasn’t acceptable and that wasn’t acceptable!

She was also furious. She slammed the throne, stood up, and angrily shouted, "The safety of the capital is in jeopardy, and so is the capital of Zhongjing? What? Is there no other way? Do I have to choose between the two?"

At this critical juncture...

The Cabinet's Chief Minister, Ye Xianggao, appeared composed and slowly stepped forward, shouting, "Your Majesty! I have a suggestion that will not only lift the siege of Zhongjing but also ensure the safety of the capital."

The empress was overjoyed. She looked at her cabinet chief and said excitedly, "Speak quickly, sir. What is the solution?"

In the court, everyone was looking at Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the cabinet.

He coughed, cleared his throat, and then said, "The Beiliang Wolf Riders will stay, and General Li Jihuan will go to rescue Zhongjing!"

Empress: "..."

Li Jihuan: “???”

You old man, do you want to hear what you have to say?
