The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

Chen Nan sighed and turned his head helplessly: "Qin Xueyuan, we don't have any conflicts, so why keep harping on this?"

Qin Qingmin smiled dismissively: "Your Highness, this isn't because our academy is holding you hostage."

"Your Highness is late for the morning court session, which is disloyal; you have abandoned your family and relatives in the Great Qian Dynasty to join my Northern Wei Dynasty, which is unfilial."

"In the battle against Daqian, you massacred 400,000 Daqian and Western Shu troops, which is inhumane; you disregarded General Hongming's support for you, which is unjust."

"How can someone as disloyal, unfilial, inhumane, and unjust as you have the face to live in this world?"

Chen Nan snorted coldly, took two steps to the center of the main hall, and met Qin Qingmin's gaze.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "May I ask about the Qin Academy?"

"What are the names of my family members in the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"What is the justification for Jiang Zhe of the Great Qian Dynasty massacring 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Sucheng, Northern Wei?"

"Does Qin Academy think that it's acceptable for him to massacre a city in Daqian, but not acceptable for me to bury his entire army alive?"

Chen Nan's words were based on the actual situation at the time.

However, Qin Xueyuan did not expect that Chen Nan would dare to embarrass him in public like this.

With a gloomy face, he angrily cursed, "Chen Nan, you are nothing but a stray dog, stripped of your title by the Great Qian and forced to surrender to my Northern Wei."

"If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's wisdom in sparing your life and giving you a chance to demonstrate your ambitions..."

"In this world, who knows you, Chen Nan?"

"That's right! If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's kindness in finding you, Chen Nan, all the way from the northern part of Daqian, who would even know you!" A sharp voice of agreement rang out from among the civil officials.

The others didn't respond, but they all looked at Chen Nan with strange expressions.

On the other hand, the military officers looked at Chen Nan with a hint of fear in their eyes.

They wanted to laugh, but dared not laugh out loud in such a setting.

Everyone knows Chen Nan; there isn't a single military general in the world who doesn't know him.

Only those refined, scholarly officials could utter such utterly absurd words.

Most of them had fought against Chen Nan.

Of course, I know that even without the Great Qian Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty...

Chen Nan will continue to shine in other places.

Now that Chen Nan is gone, the Great Qian Dynasty is militarily weak and its people are in chaos.

Suddenly, Chen Nan burst into wild laughter: "Qin Qingmin, you are just a civil official who has never been to the battlefield yet you dare to speak so arrogantly."

"You have allowed your family's younger generation to openly seize land in Northern Wei, and you have kept treacherous servants in your household. Your heart is wicked."

"You have lived such a long life in vain, a spineless dog, yet you dare to bark and howl in front of me."

"I, Chen Nan, have never seen such a shameless person!"

With each word Chen Nan spoke, Qin Qingmin's expression changed.

Qin Qingmin's mouth was agape until the very last sentence was spoken.

He wanted to retort, but Chen Nan's words angered him so much that he couldn't utter a single word.

puff--

Suddenly, Qin Qingmin coughed up a mouthful of blood onto the main hall.

He fell to the ground.

On the dragon throne, the Empress Dowager suppressed a smile and ordered, "Summon the imperial physicians. They must cure Qin Xueyuan completely and make sure he doesn't develop any hidden ailments."

After finishing his rant, Chen Nan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling much better.

His gaze swept over the entire civil official ranks, and he said coldly, "Any other official who disapproves of me may step forward and discuss this matter!"

The entire civil service took a step back.

Qin Qingmin, as the dean of the academy, was so badly attacked by Chen Nan, a mere martial artist, that he vomited blood.

Replacing them with these players would only lead to the same result.

"Cough cough."

"Gentlemen, the envoy from Western Shu will arrive in the capital of Northern Wei in four days."

"Gentlemen, please discuss this matter further: how should our dynasty receive our envoys?"

"The envoy from Western Shu will arrive in four days?" Chen Nan's expression changed.

He remembered that the man in black robes had told him before that the envoy from Western Shu this time was Liu Bangua.

The key point is that Liu Banggua's strength did not diminish after he left Western Shu.

From this perspective, Liu Banggua must have had a purpose in traveling thousands of miles from Western Shu to Northern Wei.

However, Chen Nan was not clear for the time being about what the other party's purpose was in coming to Northern Wei.

What he was even less aware of was that the Great Qian Dynasty was also discussing this matter.

In the Great Qian Dynasty court, Wu Fengluan, dressed in a dragon robe, paced back and forth.

The courtiers below remained motionless, like wooden figures.

Finally, as Wu Fengluan stopped, her furious voice rang out: "Are you all mute? Or have I sealed your mouths shut?"

"Liu Bangua of Western Shu will arrive in the northern part of my Great Qian in a day."

"Whom should our dynasty send to accompany him on his mission to the Northern Wei?"

Despite her repeated questioning, the courtier remained silent.

The ministers of the Great Qian Dynasty had long seen through their emperor, who was nothing more than a useless piece of trash.

They finally understood that Chen Nan was not only a blessing to Daqian, but also a pillar of Daqian.

At this moment, they have begun to miss the time when Chen Nan was around.

Back then, just like now, they didn't need to say a single word.

Every day is like clocking in and out; you just have to clock in and out on time.

They admired the late emperor's discerning eye even more, for he had actually discovered Chen Nan, this precious gem.

After a long while, Wu Fengluan picked up the imperial seal from the dragon's desk and smashed it at the assembled officials.

With a dark expression, he scolded, "You lot are a bunch of useless trash!"

After saying that, she began to recall what had happened before.

Whenever no one else steps forward, she simply turns her gaze to that person.

This person will definitely step forward and give her the most perfect answer.

Unfortunately, she had already driven that person to the north.

What angered her was that this person not only did not serve as a subject of his Great Qian Dynasty in the North.

Instead, he went to the Northern Wei, which was an enemy of his Great Qian Dynasty.

Just then, a weak voice came out: "Your Majesty, I am going to the north to accompany the attendant from Western Shu on a mission to Northern Wei."

Wu Fengluan was all too familiar with that voice.

After glaring at the assembled officials, Wu Fengluan quickly turned around, half-squatting in front of Jiang He, and comforted him, "Jiang He, you are already so weak, yet you still have to worry about me."

"How can I be at ease under such circumstances!"

Seeing Jiang He's pale face, Wu Fengluan couldn't help but stroke it with both hands.

Jiang He coughed twice, his voice even weaker: "It is my duty, and even more so my honor, to share Your Majesty's burdens."

"I hope Your Majesty will grant me this wish."

Jiang He half-scrambled to his feet, disregarding the occasion, and grabbed Wu Fengluan's hands tightly, gazing deeply into her eyes.

"Okay, okay, okay, I promise you, I'll agree to anything you ask."

"Quick, lie down, don't hurt yourself."

He told her to lie down quickly, but he subtly withdrew his hand.

However, this was not her original choice.

After withdrawing his hand, he sat back on the dragon throne, resuming his usual aloof expression.

However, at the moment she turned around, a barely perceptible smile flashed across Jiang He's face.

Wu Fengluan glared at the court officials and said impatiently, "Get out, get out! All of you, get out of here!"

"Among all the civil and military officials, none of them are as useful as Jiang He. They are a bunch of useless trash!"

"I'm waiting to retire."

Faced with her angry rebuke, the court officials acted as if they hadn't heard her.

They all bowed and took their leave.

Wu Fengluan looked at the empty hall and sighed.

He glanced at Jiang He and said with concern, "Jiang Qing, come with me to the Imperial Hospital!"

The two walked out of the hall, one after the other.
