In the Dali Palace, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu saluted Duan Chengye: "Your Majesty's ministers have verified that the envoy of the Zhou State, Zhuang Ze, did not say goodbye ten days ago." Now or later, return to the Zhou Kingdom".

"Why didn't I receive the paperwork, nor did I receive the report from the border guards?" Duan Chengye looked at the Ministry of Rites suspiciously, and glanced at the ministers.

Seeing Duan Chengye's gaze, Baiguan thought about the Ministry of Rites. There was an uproar among each other.

"Your Majesty's envoy Zhou's secret return to China is not a good thing for my country."

"Zhuang Ze may think that I Dali has the intention of the Northern Expedition."

"If Zhou Guo wants to strike first, we Dali will do nothing."

"According to the old minister's humble opinion, it is better to unite Tubo, Jiaozhi, and Western Xia to divide the Zhou State."

"Zhuang Ze returned to China, even if we don't cut down this week. Wait for the emperor of the Zhou State to learn from Zhuang Ze that our country has the intention of the Northern Expedition, what will he think?"

"Your Majesty, even if we don't attack the Zhou State at this time, when the Zhou State recovers, can he not take revenge?"

"Since we have offended the Zhou State, we can't have illusions."

"Your Majesty should be constantly interrupted, but suffer from its chaos."

"Taking advantage of the fact that Zhou Guo is now the weakest. As long as we join the Quad Alliance. The joint division of the Zhou State is just around the corner."

"Your Majesty, please order the Northern Expedition to Zhou." A Wenchen strode out, knelt on the ground, and directly asked for his life.

This statement was like the spread of the plague, and an official came out of the queue and knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, please give an order, and the Northern Expedition to the Zhou Kingdom."

Duan Chengye looked at the officials, walked out of the queue, and knelt down on the top of the hall one by one, roughly counting, there were already two-thirds.

"The old minister asks Your Majesty to issue an order to join the Four-Power Alliance and make a northern expedition to the Zhou State. The minister is willing to go out with the army with his old body. Let me Dali and threaten all the countries of the world". Seeing that the general trend had been decided, Taishi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly walked out of the queue, first bowed to Duan Chengye, and bowed. Then he fell to his knees and pleaded for the Northern Expedition.

The remaining officials who were still standing were still a little hesitant. Now I saw that the old lady was so heroic, and they all stood up and fell to his knees with him. Although he did not speak, his meaning was already understood.

The black pressed a group of officials, and all of them fell to their knees. Only Fu Yi, Shangguan Yixiu, etc., are insignificant, standing out from the crowd. But their faces are a little unsightly.

Duan Chengye sighed in his heart, there was no way to change this matter. Compared with the imperial sister, he still has less military exploits and political achievements, and at the same time, he also has less prestige. Otherwise, why would he be so persecuted by these people?

Thinking of this, no matter in my heart, whether I was reluctant or not, at this time, I could only order to join the Four-Nation Alliance and make a northern expedition to Zhou.

The hearts of the hundred officials were transparent, and although the Taishi knelt on the ground, he listened to the will of Duan Chengye's Northern Expedition.

Just when Duan Chengye and Baiguan thought that the overall situation had been decided and there was no way to change it. Outside the main hall, there was a sudden sound of a tsunami from the mountains.

"The last general and others welcome Her Royal Highness the eldest princess back to ...... country." A soldier and general of the forbidden army saw Duan Zhaorong and Zhou Bo coming from afar, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

With the pace, one soldier after another fell to his knees. Heavy armor and knees slammed into the ground together. Accompanied by the sound of neat greetings, the palace was shaken.

Duan Chengye was overjoyed when he saw Duan Zhaorong coming from outside the main hall, and hurriedly greeted him: "When did the imperial sister come back, why didn't you tell me, or lead the hundred officials to meet you."

"Your Majesty has been in power for five years, so why bother with more courtesy. When you come back at this time, it is always inappropriate to work hard and move the people. Please also ask Your Majesty to take a seat, and say something else". Duan Zhaorong looked at her younger brother who she hadn't seen for five years, and her heart warmed. Then he looked at the dragon chair and motioned for him to sit down.

Duan Chengye heard the imperial sister's admonition, knew that he was rude, and turned around and walked towards the dragon chair. After sitting down, he smiled apologetically at Duan Zhaorong: "I was very surprised to see the return of the imperial sister." All of a sudden, I lost my courtesy, and asked the imperial sister to do a lot of Haihan."

"I just went to Luoyang, the capital of Zhou. Staying for a long time is not a parting of life and death. When I came here, I heard that the hall was very lively. But now, my lords, why did you kneel on the ground, this palace is very puzzled. I don't know if you can tell us the details." Duan Zhaorong's eyes swept over the hundred officials who were kneeling on the ground, deliberately showing a puzzled look, waiting for them to reply.

The hundred officials looked at each other, thinking of the sound of the tsunami in the forbidden army's mountain, and Duan Zhaorong's methods in the past. My heart trembled, and I didn't speak.

Duan Chengye looked at the scene in front of him, and when he thought of what he had just faced. The appearance of the hundred officials was refreshing.

Duan Zhaorong looked at the hundred officials who were kneeling on the ground, they didn't say a word, frowned slightly, and turned to look at Fu Yi, Shangguan Yixiu and others who were still standing: "You come to tell the palace the details just now, what is going on."

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, we have just come to ask for the ...... of the Northern Expedition to Zhou." Shangguan Yixiu was overjoyed when he heard Duan Zhaorong's inquiry. Unexpectedly, at this time, the eldest princess returned to the capital. It is a foregone conclusion to cut down the country of Jiaozhi.

Taishi stood up suddenly, his tone was hurried, and he began to stop: "Slow down...... This matter is still the old minister, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, explain it well."

"It seems that in the past five years, the palace has not been in the country. Mrs. Qi, life is getting tougher and tougher." Duan Zhaorong looked at Qi Kun, who suddenly stood up in front of him, and smiled meaningfully.

Qi Kun seemed to be out of the way, and arched his hand at Duan Zhaorong: "Thanks to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the old minister's body is indeed getting tougher and tougher." It is estimated that he will not be able to die for a while."

"Old Master Qi's body is tough, and the palace will be at ease. I don't know if the old lady can tell the palace at this time. Just above this hall, the details of what happened". Feeling that Qi Kun had something to say, Duan Zhaorong's smile became a little thicker.

Qi Kun straightened his clothes, looked at Duan Zhaorong, and bowed solemnly: "The discussion is a political matter, and the old minister dares to ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Five years ago, he returned to politics but a joke."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt of lightning. In the hearts of the hundred officials, a crack was fiercely split. The word "return to government" sounded in my mind. Now that she is still in power, what else is there to be afraid of this eldest princess.

One by one, thinking of this, officials stood up one after another. Turning to face Duan Zhaorong, he bowed and saluted.

"Since the eldest princess has returned the government to Your Majesty five years ago. At this time, I asked about political affairs, why is that?"

"Although my country is not like the Zhou Kingdom, there are many prejudices against women. But Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, after all, she has already returned to power, so why bother with it."

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, as soon as she returns to China, she will immediately inquire about political affairs. Is it unwilling? What I said five years ago was just child's play......".

The words are more and more difficult to hear, if these words can be turned into sharp arrows, Duan Zhaorong has already pierced his heart with ten thousand arrows.

"Bang ......". Listening to these ugly words, Duan Zhaorong's expression was very indifferent. But Duan Chengye couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the royal case violently.

The ministers heard the noise and struck a spirit. Hurriedly turned around and looked at the angry Duan Chengye, all of them were stunned. Qi Kun showed a smug smile: "Your Majesty, why is he angry for no reason."

"If that's the case, I'm the one who asked. How to answer". looked at Qi Kun with a smug smile. A trace of annoyance flashed in Duan Chengye's heart.

Qi Kun bowed and made a panicked look: "If Your Majesty asks questions, the old minister will naturally not dare to shirk."

"If Your Majesty asks questions, as a courtier, you should really reply."

"The ministers will know, know everything, and say everything."

An official hurriedly agreed. At this time, no matter which faction it is, they reached an instant consensus on this issue. Duan Zhaorong can't be allowed to get the right of regent again.

Without waiting for Duan Chengye, he asked again. Duan Zhaorong smiled meaningfully at the hundred officials: "As a woman, if this is the case, is it for my husband to ask?" Don't I, the prime minister of Dali, have the right to know? “。

Hearing this, Qi Kun's heart trembled suddenly. An ominous voice appeared in my heart. (To be continued.) )
