Chapter 25: The Emperor's Wrath
Of course, even if the emperor doesn't say it, the people who should basically know it among the ministers know it.
No one will be stupid enough to break this situation.
Therefore, the ministers who knew it in their hearts would naturally support the emperor's decision, after all, acts like Lu Zhaoyi must be stopped.
If the woman just ran out and then hid, and no one knew about it, thinking she was dead, then forget it.
Even if you marry someone else, quietly, it's okay to say.
But the one who ran to the sworn enemy of the empire, and there was a lot of news, and it was very popular there, that was another matter.
Whatever?
A concubine in the palace ran outside and behaved like this.
That is to cuckold Emperor Wen, and he is properly slapping Emperor Wen in the face.
It's a snapping sound.
As a courtier, they all know one sentence: the lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the lord humiliates the minister to death.
Then, naturally, they will agree, and will support the empire in such a battle.
But some of them didn't know what was going on, and they just didn't like to fight, so they went up and suggested peace talks.
They even joined forces to impeach the military and political governors in the north.
What kind of indiscriminate killing, what kind of bad intentions, and even pointed to the people of the Qingdong Marquis Mansion and said that they wanted to rebel, otherwise how could they wantonly reorganize the army?
The people in the Qingdong Hou Mansion didn't talk much at all.
I don't even plan to defend myself, after all, the queen mother went to Changji Mansion under the banner of Qingdong Marquis Mansion.
What did they say? Say it was the Queen Mother who did it?
At this time, of course, it is necessary to keep it secret.
But the emperor was furious.
To put it mildly, the Emperor sitting on the dragon chair felt so irritable, especially when he heard those people beep endlessly.
The reason why he was so anxious was that the emperor received something from his mother.
When he saw clearly what the Empress Dowager had written, the emperor was shocked, and the people in the army, who had not yet started the war, had already lost one-third.
Attrition is not a matter of dead people, but of empty salaries.
If you calculate it in this way, the so-called number of people will be greatly discounted.
An army of one million, in fact, is less than 700,000 at most, and the rest are made up nonsense.
Thinking of this, the emperor was extremely anxious.
If his own mother found out, of course the emperor believed it.
The problem is that this is still the best situation of the northern border army, I am afraid that in other places, it is good that there are only half of the people in the army, and there are still some old and weak soldiers in it, who cannot fight at all.
Thinking of this, the emperor only wanted to curse.
At this moment, his face sank like water under the crown, looking at the people below.
There is another thing, that is, the military expenditure allocated has not been fully received.
Hehe! I can't complain that there will be empty wages.
Among the things sent back by the queen mother, the money it would cost to raise an army that was completely out of production was listed in detail, which was really not a small number.
Even if all the military expenses have arrived, it is not enough, not to mention that a large amount of silver has been stripped away.
Looking at the officials attacking the Empress Dowager one by one in front of him, the emperor only wanted to blast these people out.
Fortunately, this time when he went to court, because for solemn reasons, he was wearing the most formal dress, and at this moment, because of anger, the crown on his head shook a little.
This reminded him that he was an emperor.
In addition, the queen mother also said that because of the preparation to deal with the Karui tribe, the court should not be too aggressive, as long as there is time, you can cut off the bad meat little by little, instead of cleaning it all at once.
To exchange the least price for the biggest victory.
So, in the end, the emperor did not make a move.
Of course, the emperor decided to clean them up again when he had time.
Anyway, he's younger than them.
Some of the obedient ministers already felt that something was wrong, because the emperor's body language carried a kind of fury.
Later, although the emperor did not get angry, they felt even more terrible.
Those who have been complaining are still chirping crookedly.
In the end, the emperor didn't want to hear any questioning questions, so he said directly: "This battle is to arrest the widows of the Lu family, and if there are any more people who talk about peace, there will be no forgiveness." ”
So, those crooked chirping guys finally shut up.
Even they were soon impeached for various reasons and then transferred to the most remote places to become officials.
This made those guys regret it a lot.
In fact, many of them have been admitted over the years, so they naturally don't know many things about the royal family.
Even some of them still want to be loyal ministers through the ages, so they will keep going to books.
Because in their opinion, in this way, they can restrain the fighting, that is, to ask for the people's lives.
They all feel that they are the pillars of the country, and they ask for their lives for the country and the people.
Until I was degraded, some didn't understand.
In fact, the reason why the emperor deposed them all to the capital was to let them sober up, thinking that the empire was a good place everywhere?
There are still a lot of hardships, don't be able to talk very well, but you don't have the ability to act.
Also, what a stupid idea to negotiate with the Jackals and then give the Jackals a chance to grow bigger and find a chance to enter the Empire.
Besides, the ministers in the court were blindly thinking about peace talks.
I'm afraid that when the news gets out, the hearts of the people of the Karui tribe are very beautiful.
When negotiating, the more lions will open their mouths, and the more they give, the more people will feel that the empire is rich and want to join the empire.
At this time, what judgment do you have to talk about?
All these years, the emperor had always known that the woman was still preparing to find trouble.
Let him negotiate with that woman, that's a dream!
Even if you want to negotiate, you have to fight hard and then negotiate.
Anyway, for people who are not the empire, the emperor will not be at ease at all.
In fact, there is news from the Karui tribe, saying that they have been planning for a long time, wanting to catch the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen, and some people even said that they want to let the royal family, the green coat and the little hat serve the tribe.
Upon learning the news, the emperor was furious and smashed the teacup in his hand.
He hated the people of the Karui tribe so much that he only thought about killing them all, leaving no one behind.
So the thought of having the Emperor negotiate with Karui was a dream.
Even the emperor suspected that those who blindly thought about negotiation would beep vigorously if they were bought by others.
Later, the emperor sent people to investigate, and felt that most of them were people who were selling their fame and reputation, so they were directly sent to the most difficult places to open up wasteland.
Don't they want to be famous?
Then go to a difficult place to do things, and naturally become famous.
The horns kept on and on, but I didn't know if there was any goods in my stomach?
If it's the kind of guy who can only study and move his mouth, fuck him off.
In any case, from now on, those who have not been magistrates will basically be excluded from the ranks of high-ranking officials.
At the same time, the emperor also spot-checked some people, some of whom were okay to study, but for affairs, they were mostly perfunctory, and they were finally reduced to the people.
After this incident, there are many people who are honest.
The current emperor doesn't kill others at will, and likes to let those who are not very honest in their mouths go to serve below.
If, after working for a few years, there has been no result, let those people go immediately.
In addition, in the archives, leave a record, and you are not allowed to be an official.
Later, when someone said the eloquent words of the Karui tribe, everyone who heard it was furious, and no minister dared to talk about peace in front of the emperor, just waiting for a battle with Kalu.
Over the years, the empire has made a lot of progress in all aspects.
Weapons, armor and other things were developed under the supervision of the Queen Mother herself.
There are also horses, which have also been focused on in these years, and there has been a lot of progress, and a lot of cavalry has appeared.
It took a lot of effort to fight this battle.
Similarly, Queen Lu also spent a lot of time building up her power.
In fact, at first, she had no intention of defecting to the nomadic tribes of the north, but wanted to hide in the south and then build a private army.
After all, the seventeenth prince is still young, and it is not enough to snatch the throne.
But unexpectedly, the queen mother sent someone to chase after her, tracking her whereabouts, and the household registration system is becoming more and more strict.
As a result, the space that the Lu family can operate is becoming less and less, and the people who originally followed the Lu family are gradually unwilling to follow the Lu family.
Because he has no future, he has even become a person hated by everyone in the empire.
So for various reasons, someone began to betray the Lu family.
So Lu Zhaoyi's situation was even more embarrassing, and she had to go into exile everywhere.
She always scolded in her heart: hateful native, she still looked down on her opponent, she knew that the opponent was so difficult to deal with, and she should have killed the queen mother as soon as possible.
Damn, the Queen Mother is the kind of guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.
When Emperor Wen was alive, in order to be a good daughter-in-law and not interfere in the affairs of his grandson, he pretended to learn what to make the violin.
Actually, it's not like that at all.
Otherwise, when she was the queen mother, there was nothing wrong with the decree that supported the little emperor?
How can it be!
It's definitely been trained for a long time.
For the Queen Mother, Queen Lu has too much unconvincing.
In her opinion, Yu Ying is an extremely cunning woman.
It seems that he is not greedy for power, but in fact he may not.
In the end, it was the action of the Lu family that fulfilled that woman.
As soon as she thought of this, Lu Zhaoyi hated it.
Because the woman who won the victory in the end did not admit her feelings at all, and killed the Lu family (obviously the Lu family committed a heinous crime).
Later, she had to take her son to the north.
All this is thanks to the Queen Mother.
Hum!
Thought that in this way, she would accept her fate?
Scold!
Something has to be taken back.
Of course, getting to the north is also beneficial.
The men of the tribe are all bold and generous, and they are also good-looking, especially if they are not enthusiastic, so they come and go, and she has several lovers.
Of course, all this did not wear away her will and thoughts.
Therefore, she must fight back to the empire.
Not only because she misses those brocade delicacies, but also because she wants to step on the queen mother, but also for herself.
Of course, the people of the Karui tribe have always been thinking about the empire, especially the capital.
It is said that after entering, there was gold everywhere, and when you got there, you definitely got it.
As a tribal man, isn't it just that you should ride the best horse?
Drink the strongest liquor?
Soak the most beautiful girl?
When the time comes, they will all be snatched back.
Therefore, some people in the Karui tribe hit it off with Queen Lu, because the two sides have a common goal.
Moreover, Lu Zhaoyi is still very beautiful.
She's not just a matter of beauty, she's powerful.
In fact, the men in the tribe have not been able to beat her completely, so there is the title of queen.
In this way, the people of the Karui tribe, under the trickery of Queen Lu, killed a group of people who did not deal with her, so the rest of the people gradually submitted to this woman.
In the eyes of some people in the tribe, whoever she is, as long as she leads them into the empire, it is a victory.
Queen Lu planned to unite the entire northern nomadic tribes and force the palace by force to seize power.
Anyway, as long as she becomes the queen mother, she can do anything.
As for what happens later, don't worry too much about it.
Yu Ying didn't know the plans of this queen of the road at all.
In fact, Yu Ying was still very curious about what the crossing girl was going to do?
Is it thinking of uniting the northern nomadic tribes to fight, and then holding his son to the throne as emperor?
So, will he still talk about restoring orthodoxy?
Of course, the people of the empire will not believe it, after all, the East Palace is justifiable.
The blessings left by Emperor Wen. still guarded Qin Zihao.
In fact, after Yu Ying arrived in Changji Mansion, the news of the Kalu tribe increased a lot, and no matter how you look at it, you can't feel that this person has any plans for governing the country.
What does this Queen of the Road think?
You can conquer the world immediately, but it does not mean that you can rule the world immediately.
Do you think that in this world, as long as the force is strong, it is okay?
In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, the horseshoe even stepped into Europe, and it can be said that the total number of khanates is 20 million square kilometers, and the territory is not large?
Big.
Moreover, it was the strength of the soldiers, and even left the Yellow Peril to later generations of Europeans.
But the Yuan Dynasty only survived for more than a hundred years before it was replaced by the later Ming Dynasty.
The reason why the dynasties lived so short was that they ignored the people's will, relied on their strong military force, and looked down on the Han people, which eventually led to the collapse of that powerful empire.
So in Yu Ying's opinion, Queen Lu's behavior was very strange.
She should know that this behavior is not good.
The Karui tribe is strong in force, but more often than not, like bandits, they will only loot, not build.
Perhaps, they Karui are still a tribe, but if they want to become a country, they are not qualified enough.
Do you think that sitting on the throne of the emperor only needs to direct others to do things?
may be able to be an emperor for a while, but in the end it will only be a flash in the pan.
In addition, during this time, it has been found out that the seventeenth prince is still alive, but his health is not very good.
However, Yu Ying did not send someone to ask the opinion of the Seventeenth Prince himself, which was to ask this question with the lives of people loyal to the empire.
And Seventeen was still very young when he left, maybe under the education of Queen Lu, agreeing with Queen Lu's approach, it is possible to take a life loyal to the empire, which is not worth it.
In this way, after Yu Ying's arrival, the reorganization of the northern border army accelerated, and everything was for the sake of the big war.
As for the Karui tribe, after the arrival of Queen Lu, they gradually settled down, and finally had the posture of a royal court.
In fact, the people of the Karui tribe are gearing up, enclosing more tribes into their own forces, and even grabbing more slaves, just to fight them.
Even the Queen of the Road gradually couldn't suppress this thought.
Because the people of the tribe want to go south and grab more wealth.
Why do those weak and powerless southerners eat and live well?
They are men who stand up to the sky, and they deserve the most beautiful women and the most beautiful everything.
When they are idle and bored, they are all fantasizing about how they can get more good things.
Their hearts were stirring, thinking that after going south, life would be better.
Of course, Queen Lu is also a cold bystander, there is no one else in her heart, it doesn't matter to her whether others are dead or alive, as long as she achieves her goal.
And Yu Ying received this news and pondered for a long time.
"What does this person think? Could it be that thousands of human lives, in her eyes, are just numbers?"
Or maybe she can't control the situation. ”
"Why do you think that?" Dandan asked.
"Because this woman is taking the road of fighting for world domination, otherwise she would not have allowed the rumors of hitting the capital to spread in the tribe. ”
"Is it easy to dominate the world?" Dan Dan asked.
