Above the court, there was silence.

The old man said in a slightly accentuated tone: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, we said that we are in the west to restore the country, but there are 180,000 troops stationed in the Yinguo in the west, and now the general trend is no longer in my west, if we don't want the tragedy of destroying the country ten years ago to happen again, we must establish an army that is comparable to the Yinguo Iron Cavalry......"

She squinted slightly and looked at the old man, this old general who was not afraid of heaven and earth was actually weak under her gaze.

The old man gritted his teeth, and suddenly knelt down under the jade steps with a thud, and said in a painful voice: "Old minister, this is also a helpless move, Chu Xiaohua has placed more troops in the west than in the Yin country, but His Majesty does not advocate the establishment of more troops in the west, so what is the point of recovering the country in the west? Since Your Majesty is unwilling to do this, then I, Song Qinglin, am willing to be this traitor in the eyes of all of you for my westward country!"

"How many are there?"

"What?"

Again, she emphasized, "I asked you how many people there are in this army?"

"Thirty-five thousand people, most of them are in the west of Jianzhou. ”

"How much silver have you embezzled from the treasury to feed this army?"

The old man's eyes were shocked, and he thought that she knew about such a secret thing as embezzling silver, and it was a bad thing now.

Su Changyan's gaze became colder and colder, like a sharp sword hanging above his head, which could fall at any time

"One million four hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, plus eleven thousand stone of grain......"

After the old man finished speaking, his face turned a little pale, and he forced himself to calm down: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, these are just small prices...... In order to establish this army, Lao Chen invested all his family funds into it, and the silver embezzled by Lao Chen in the treasury was also spent on armaments, and not a penny was used on his own family. ”

The woman sneered: "Do you mean that you used your own money to build this army, and then found that it was not enough and secretly used the money in my treasury, do you still want me to praise you for your loyalty in front of the ministers? Why don't I come down from here now and let you sit on this chair?"

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Your Majesty is angry!

Many courtiers also knelt down with Shangzhuguo, but it was difficult to calm the panic in their hearts.

Song Qinglin still knelt down and said in a deep voice: "But Your Majesty, do you think that the current Xilin is still the Xilin of the past? Now you can sit on the throne of Xilin is Chu Xiaohua's charity, even if he asks you to be the empress of Xilin now, then what about ten years later? What about a hundred years later? What about the alms will be taken back at any time, what is the difference between a country without its own army and a country that has died?"

She didn't look at the old man who made her disgusting, and her voice carried a trace of pathos that she couldn't detect, "I have fallen to the west of the country, and everything now is given to us by Chu Xiaohua, but so what? I just want to see the people of the west have a home, no longer need to wander in the rain, what if the army is not an army, everyone lives their own lives, you are happy, but what you have done has hurt many people in the west, don't think that I don't know what you have done, don't think that I am a woman who is easy to bully, you can go behind my back and do something......"

The old man suddenly became bolder, looked up at her and said, "Then the old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, is Xilin's surname Su or Chu?"

After hearing this, she suddenly frowned, her face turned pale, and she bit her lip.

There was an uproar in the face, and the old man took a deep breath and said: "This doesn't matter to you, right, it doesn't matter whether Xilin's surname is Chu or Su, does Your Majesty think that as long as the prince of Yinguo is still alive, everything will be fine in Xilin?"

"Song Qinglin, you are enough! The person in front of you is Her Majesty the Empress, how dare you talk to her in such a tone?"

Governor Lu Shenxi pointed at him and scolded him loudly, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe, his fists clenched and his face was full of pain.

The old man ignored the accusations of his colleagues, and said to himself: "The fall of Yan Mang's entire territory can only show that that young man is really capable, but Your Majesty should not forget one thing! The first emperor Su Shuntian died under the iron hooves of Chu Xiaohua, and even our crown prince Su Changqing also died under the sword of this kid, and your two relatives were killed by them, dare to ask, what reason does Your Majesty have to trust those bastards surnamed Chu?"

Su Changyan supported his jaw with his hand on the throne, and between wanting to speak, he was already full of anger.

The ministers looked at each other, and Cao Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly came to the jade steps and knelt down violently: "Your Majesty, the general has no intention of rebelling, the general's loyalty to the Xilin Imperial Court can be learned, please Your Majesty don't anger those soldiers of the Song family's army...... Don't blame the generals......"

This should be the first time she has been angry since she ascended the throne, and the Empress Su Changyan of the West did not hesitate to interrupt the old man's words, "Blame? If I really want to blame you, do you really think that you are still alive now? You must know that every breath you take now is my kindness to you!"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

The magnates of the entire Xilin court overestimated and knelt again and again, and she raised her voice again, and her angry voice echoed throughout the court.

"You Song Qinglin have lived most of your life and are still a fool! But I tell you Song Qinglin, the army you embezzled from the treasury money and privately established not only did not help the country at all, but made me suffer huge losses in Xilin, you must know that our tax in Xilin this year is only one million taels of gold, and you alone took more than one million taels of silver? Do you know what kind of situation I will face if you let Chu Xiaohua know about this?"

Everyone put their palms on the cold jade bricks, just listening to her slowly walk down the jade steps, with tears in their eyes, and their words were full of deep sorrow.

"Chu Xiao can't see the slightest sign of threat, this is the case when my father established the Xilin Sword Library, I don't want to watch the scene of the Yinguo Iron Cavalry coming to the city, and I don't want the more than 30,000 people to be killed by Chu Xiaohua......"

Everyone fell to their knees, speechless, only to hear the empress's frost-cold words drift over their heads.

"Song Qinglin, the general and Shangzhu State, gave death, beheaded all over the house, burned bones and ashes, and couldn't bury me in the west of the land!"

Everyone was stunned, only to hear Song Qinglin sneer, and slowly stood up behind the young empress: "Your Majesty can't execute the old minister, the old minister has Emperor Xilin Ande in his hands, your grandfather gave the Song family a gold medal for avoiding death, and promised the Song family to live and die together with Xilin for generations in this place, if Your Majesty wants to kill the descendants of my Song family, and slaughter."

What's the difference between kinship?"

He took out the death-free gold medal that was still shining for many years from his arms, and said righteously: "With this death-free gold medal, my Song family can be immortal in the land to the west, Yinguo Iron rode into the city and failed to destroy my Song family, but let this descendant of the Su royal family destroy my Song family, where is the way of heaven?!"

Su Changyan still didn't turn around, and said expressionlessly: "Are you talking to me about the way of heaven now? Why don't you think about the way of heaven when you embezzle the money from the treasury without permission, think about the time when the people in my west were hungry, think about the time when they were homeless, I was not born when Emperor Ande gave you the gold medal for avoiding death for the Song family, but I know that the gold medal for avoiding death will not avoid the crime of treason, and all those who commit treason will be executed!"

As soon as the words fell, the death-free gold medal in Song Qinglin's hand slowly cracked, exploding from his hand like a firecracker, and the broken gold was everywhere.

Su Changyan's imperial robe was windless, and the crimson qi machine rose from all around her, and angry lava flowed in her eyes.

Song Qinglin was stunned for a moment and then laughed, and actually pointed at Su Changyan and laughed shamelessly: "It's ridiculous, this is our current emperor in the west, not only does he not have the courage to build an army, but he also ignores even the death-free gold medal given by the previous emperor, I am really fortunate to meet such a female king!"

The three words of the female monarch were emphasized by him through gritted teeth, and he said loudly in an amazingly loud voice: "I am in the west of the thousand-year-old country and now it has become an appendage of the Yin Kingdom, such an emperor, it is okay not to be her courtier!"

"If Your Majesty wants to execute the old ministers today, the 30,000 Song family troops will inevitably rebel, and when the time comes, the west will definitely face the fate of rivers of blood, so is all this what Your Majesty wants to see?"

Song Qinglin is now a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, he now has tens of thousands of Song family troops to support him, and he is the wealthy family of the Xilin Dynasty, if this young woman really wants to be beheaded all over the house, there will be many objects of this big and small implication, not to mention the embezzlement of treasury money, just because Su Changyan did not establish an army, many people in the west have been dissatisfied, and this old general who is famous in the west dares to angrily reprimand the king's inaction in the court, if this feat is spread, it may be intriguing.

The Song family is the pillar of the country of the Xilin Dynasty, and if they unload and kill the donkey now because of such a thing, I am afraid that many people will be dissatisfied.

Su Changyan bit her lower lip and was indifferent, she didn't want to see the war bleed, but why did everyone mess around according to their own ideas?

Zhong Shuling looked at the young female emperor, his eyes were full of regret and pleading, and he muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Please think twice, Your Majesty...... Think twice......"

Su Changyan's eyes looked out of the court in a trance, and she seemed to see a burly figure standing outside, looking at her with a smile.

She wanted to tell him that she was sorry and that she couldn't be the emperor herself.

The man smiled too, as if to tell her that you have done a good job, better than me, and that you don't have to feel guilty.

Su Changyan finally raised his head and said, "Does the general think that I, the emperor, have not done well and want to do it myself?"

Song Qinglin faced his king and replied in a cold tone: "You don't even dare to build an army, how can you be an emperor?

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Enough, Song Qinglin, shut up, there is still room for reversal! You! You ......."

Zhongshuling finally couldn't stand it anymore, and repeatedly slapped the ground with his thin palm covered with old age spots, and suddenly his eyes went black and he fainted.

Su Changyan took a deep breath, looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word: "As long as I sit on that chair one day, our people in the west will not be slaves!"

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and after hearing that sentence, they all had complicated thoughts.

A roaring sound came from outside the main hall, and everyone looked up at the sound, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Su Changyan turned around suddenly, suddenly his eyes turned red, and he bit his lower lip and oozed blood.

The eyes are full of flying swords, covering the sky and the sun.

Wearing a green shirt stepping on the sword and hanging, dashing into the court, this famous sword god in the west of the imperial city walked around, behind the thousands of flying swords hovering here, one person is 10,000 troops.

Twenty years ago, he also jumped to the head of Sunset City in this way.

Song Qinglin's eyes widened even more, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.

Such a shock was not the Xilin Sword God with three thousand swords, but the white-clothed young man standing in front of the gate of the imperial court.

The young man was wearing a milky white eagle robe, and he was extremely conspicuous in the red Xilin court.

He put his left hand on the dragon bird sword that Chu Xiaohua gave him, the sword was unsheathed, and he strode into the western court.

He had been to Yanmang and Shuyue, and now he had come to Xilin.

The eagle-robed young man faced the entire Xilin Qunjun, one person and one sword.

As he slowly walked in, the red-clothed ministers slowly turned sideways to avoid it, this scene was just like thousands of troops avoiding the white robes, and no one could stop him from seeing the woman.

Chu Xianzhao was less than ten steps away from Su Changyan, drew out his long sword and knelt down on one knee, stood with his sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Chu Xianzhao, the son of the Great Yin Dynasty, is looking at the Great Red City, see Her Majesty the Empress!"

Now the whole hall was silent.

Because he's coming.

Su Changyan looked at the little master who was thinking about it day and night with complicated eyes, she couldn't wait to rush over now, throw herself into his arms and cry to him about her hardships and bitterness in the past year.

But she took a step back, put her hands on her abdomen, nodded and saluted back: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, it is a blessing for me to be able to come to my west to watch the ceremony." ”

Chu Xianzhao didn't look at Su Changyan, but instead looked at Song Qinglin's body, and said calmly: "Yes, are you disappointed to see me alive, are you disappointed? ”

Chu Xianzhao took out three heads from under the white feather eagle robe and threw them at Song Qinglin's feet in full view of everyone, looking at him with pity: "The three of them want to kill me, and now it's helpless to be killed by me, right?"

Song Qinglin, who saw this scene, was simply heartbroken, he privately used three thousand cavalry to intercept and kill the prince of Yinguo to avenge his eldest son, the conspiracy here is not clear in a few words, this kid actually survived under the siege of three thousand cavalry? !

Three thousand people and his two henchmen couldn't kill him, and even the life of his last son was on the line!

Chu Xianzhao bent down and whispered in his ear, "Do you think you have underestimated my strength?"

In fact, the person you sent is too imbecile. ”

The son of Shangzhu Kingdom in the west was summoned and killed by Chu Xuan, and his head was brought to the imperial court.

This terrifying picture stunned everyone, and Su Changyan was even more bloodless, and he couldn't believe that this was something that Chu Xuan's monastery had done.

"I stood outside for a while just now, and listened to a lot of things from Her Majesty the Empress, and she said that as long as she reigned for one day, the people of the West would not be slaves, and this sentence was very good. Yes, you people in the west may not be slaves, but no one has told you that you can be traitors!"

Chu Xianzhao looked at the ministers in the hall and said softly: "Your power struggles and intrigues will only make the current situation more complicated, since the situation has become complicated, then we might as well make the situation easier by reducing some people."

"Ahh

Song Qinglin's cry interrupted Chu Xianzhao's words, and he picked up his youngest son's head and knelt on the court and cried.

After the death of his eldest son, he put all his efforts on the younger son's body, and in order to let him successfully cultivate and return to life, he did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars to find all kinds of good human body Ding furnaces to nourish his internal qi machine, and with various Ding furnaces to help him refine into his internal qi machine, so the cultivation of the three corpses in the martial arts can be described as a thousand miles a day, which makes everyone dumbfounded.

This youngest son is an important figure in whether his Song family can continue to occupy a place in the Xilin Imperial Court, and now that the youngest son's head has been brought to him by Chu Xuanzhao, how can it not make his heart ache.

The scene of the white-haired man sending the black-headed man made all the ministers present bow their heads tremblingly, lest the instantaneous gaze of Chu fall on them.

Xilin must no longer die at the hands of the Yinguo, and Xilin Erlang can no longer die under the iron hooves of the Yinguo.

Chu Xianzhao turned his back to Su Changyan, slowly walked towards these ministers, and said with a smile: "See, this is the fate of assassinating this son, who else among you wants to kill me, but stand up now, we are just going to have a fair match, it's best to stand up and kill this son together!"

Chu Xianzhao walked out slowly. No one dared to approach him everywhere he went, and there was always a cold smile on his face, and the sound of the scabbard dragging the ground of the court was so frightening.

These courtiers who covered the sky with one hand in the past did not move, and they were already frightened by Chu Xianzhao, Chu Zhaozhao didn't seem to have the idea of killing people now, but Wen Chun smiled and said: "I came to Xilin this time just to meet your majesty the empress, not to get along with anyone here, after I leave, you civil and military ministers can continue to guide the country in Xilin, I Chu Zhaozhao can't control you, but since I am standing here today, then some of you will have to suffer." ”

Chu instantly summoned the Dragon Sparrow Sword, which had originally retracted its scabbard, slowly unsheathed for half a minute, revealing a dazzling sword light.

Chu Xianzhao continued: "You courtiers should relieve the king's worries, the king raised you to deal with state affairs and solve problems, not to add problems to yourself! To put it bluntly, you are a group of dogs raised by the king, and to be a dog you should have the consciousness of being a dog, and you have to be useful when you should be used, and you can naturally die when you are useless! Few of you people can fulfill your duties, but you open your mouth wide and bark at your monarch, which is ridiculous!"

Everyone was stunned, even Su Changyan was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

When did Shang Shuling ever see such an arrogant junior, it was carved out of the same mold as Chu Xiaohua, and the old man trembled with anger: "You, you, how can there be a person like you in the imperial court in the west, it's really angry with me!"

Chu Xianzhao said calmly with an expressionless face: "My lord thinks what I have done is very excessive? This is my first time coming to Xilin, but I am just here to protect your empress from being hurt by the rebellious ministers, and when Chu Xiaohua first came to Xilin, what he did must be fresh in everyone's memory." ”

The mention of the name Chu Xiaohua was like a huge shadow projected on all the ministers, making them unable to move.

The old sacrificial wine clutched his chest and gasped intermittently, "You...... You...... How dare you!"

Chu Xianzhao shouted: "Don't dare? I don't dare, why don't I dare?"

"Enough. ”

Su Changyan's voice came from behind him.

"Don't embarrass Master Li, he's old and not in good health. ”

Chu Xuanzhao became more and more scathing: "Anyway, he is half of the person who has fallen into the earth, you might as well put the other half in it, or can I help you?"

The court was in an uproar.

The officials became more and more angry, and some officials trotted over with their robes, helped back the old sacrificial wine that was about to pass out with their eyes rolled, and scolded Chu Xianzhao repeatedly.

The scolding came like a tide, and the young prince gritted his teeth and said: "Do you think this son is embarrassing you? It feels very uncomfortable to be embarrassed? But why don't you think about her when you embarrass her, you are bullying her one by one, if you dare to talk to Chu Xiaohua with such an attitude, your head will fall to the ground long ago!"

"If you were useful, she wouldn't have to suffer so much, you are all bullying her, who has stood up to protect her?"

Zhongshu Provincial Shangshu Ling Bai Yi couldn't help but stand up and roared: "Presumptuous! What do you mean that we haven't protected our king, this is the Xilin Imperial Court, and you can't be allowed to talk nonsense here! You are just the prince of the world, not the emperor, why should you meddle in our Xilin affairs?!"

Chu Xianzhao glanced at him like an idiot, and grinned and sneered: "Why? Just because the woman you just bullied was once my maid, and my fist is bigger than all of you here!

"In a word, I will solve the things that the Empress Xilin can solve, and I will solve the things that can't be solved!"

Chu Xianzhao gently pulled out the Dragon Bird Sword, and the jade brick under his feet was instantly torn five or six zhang.

The courtiers were so embarrassed by the sword aura that they got up from the ground with great difficulty, looking at the young man with horror in their eyes.

Chu instantly summoned his sword back to the sheath with his backhand, and slowly walked along the royal road that had been torn apart.

Every time he approached a courtier, he frightened them so that their lips turned blue, and they sat on the ground and did not dare to move.

"This is power, this is Yinguo!"

He threw down such a sentence lightly or seriously, but it set off a monstrous wave in the hearts of everyone.

Above the court, there was a sudden silence.
