Xiong Yan stood up under Wang De's support, and was just about to walk down the steps, when he suddenly remembered something, put down his raised right leg again, turned to face the ministers, straightened his chest, raised his tone again, and said loudly: "However, if I hear that someone is embarrassing the queen, don't blame me for raiding his house and destroying his clan, hum." Wang De, go. ”

The ministers knelt down and said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Wu Yunzhao had been waiting in the rear, and when he saw Xiong Yan approaching slowly, he hurriedly went up to greet him, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, how is your body?" The concubine just heard that you were coughing constantly, and she was very worried. ”

When Xiong Yan heard this, his heart warmed: "It's good to be the queen, you know that you are considerate of me, and the people outside are all white-eyed wolves, holding my money, regardless of my life or death." Said with a smile: "Don't worry, the queen will not die for a while, I can't die..."

Wu Yunzhao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, you are a long live lord." ”

Xiong Yan was happy in his heart, nodded and said: "Yes, I am Long Live Lord, you are Long Live Niang, we both have to live a long life." Haha laughed a few times and said, "Queen, I've been working hard for you these days, don't be tired, I'll go back to the palace first." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "The concubine sends your majesty respectfully." ”

Xiong Yan nodded in satisfaction, got on the royal chariot, and went back to the apse to rest.

Wu Yunzhao saw Xiong Yan's figure disappear around the corner, his spirits were greatly lifted, his head was held high, and he ordered: "Xiaoshun, go to the court with the palace." ”

Xiaoshun said respectfully: "Yes." ”

According to the rules of listening to the government with a curtain, the queen needs to sit behind the throne and use a curtain to separate herself from the ministers, so as not to face the ministers directly.

Seeing the bead curtain unfolded and hung in front of him, the corners of Wu Yunzhao's mouth hooked up a smile.

On the throne, the dragon-shaped relief is lifelike, coiled, and holds a golden ball in its mouth, upholding the duty of protecting each generation of emperors.

Wu Yunzhao stretched out his arm, through the bead curtain, and gently stroked the back of the golden dragon, feeling the scale armor on his head, smooth and cold. She said to herself that the day of sitting in this seat was not far off.

Putting away his high spirits, Wu Yunzhao sat down intently, and said softly: "Xiaoshun, let's start the court." ”

Xiao Shun said: "Yes, Niangniang." Taking over Wang De's work, he raised his voice and said: "The beginning of the court!" ”

In order not to offend the dragon face, they can only accept the dignified and beautiful woman behind the throne, and bow down again, shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live the queen's mother, thousand years old, thousand years old." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

The ministers said: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "The Sunset Country is heavily pressed, what do you adults have to worry about?" His eyes swept over the faces of the ministers one by one, and he could see everyone's expressions clearly---- this is the advantage of being condescending.

Wu Yunzhao saw an official surnamed Lou covering his face with a jade wat and looking left and right, recognizing him as Wang Kangrui's political enemy, afraid that he was looking for trouble, and raised his voice: "Wait, the military situation is urgent, thieves are rampant, Your Majesty said that you must not indulge, there is no need to mention the method of peace, and the dispatch of troops is the most important thing." ”

Sure enough, the official surnamed Lou didn't move.

Wu Yunzhao sneered in his heart: "People's hearts are nothing more than this, in a high position, you only need a little attention to find out if it is a person or a ghost." ”

The topic is the dispatch of troops, and there will be no room for the peace faction to speak, and Wang Kangrui and others will be able to smoothly make suggestions.

Soon, half an hour later, Liu Shouye took over the seal and took command, named the deputy marshal, general, vanguard, squire ••••• and other cadres, and immediately set out for the expedition.

The big thing has been decided, Wu Yunzhao is very satisfied, and said: "The monarch and the minister are united, and the Great Chu will win." Simply restricted, ordered to retreat from the court, and named several important ministers to the imperial study to continue the discussion.

The trivial things are cumbersome, and it takes time and effort to deal with them one by one, and when I come out of the imperial study, it is already the middle of the night.

Today there is no moon and no stars, but fortunately, the weather is clear, the sky is a deep blue, and occasionally a few thin clouds drift by.

Wu Yunzhao had no intention of sleeping, accompanied by Xiaoshun, walked slowly along the palace road, and after about an hour, the palace lamps in the hands of the palace maids and eunuchs who followed behind him had been changed several times, and the light and shadow were heavy.

Wu Yunzhao said: "Thank you for your hard work, let's rest tomorrow, this palace will not return to the Lizheng Palace, there is no need to serve." ”

The palace servants said: "Thank you for the grace of the queen." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Xiaoshun, you will rest tomorrow, if there is something in the palace, it will be entrusted to Wang De's public office." ”

Xiao Shun said: "Thank you Niangniang for your grace, but Xiao Shun doesn't feel tired, you see, the minion is in good spirits." The prince has to take care of His Majesty, I'm afraid I can't get out, the slave is still waiting for it, it's when there are many things, it's not good to change others. ”

Wu Yunzhao smiled: "Okay, since you want to, just follow." ”

Xiao Shun said: "Of course the slave is willing." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Let's go, accompany the palace to the city wall to have a look." ”

To the northeast, the mist is over.

Xiao Shun said: "Niangniang, look, the fog over there doesn't look like the dust and smoke stirred up by the army pulling out and galloping?" ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded and said, "Well, it's quite similar." I don't know where they were, General Liu? How many miles can you walk in a day? Can you reach the border before the enemy attacks? ”

Xiao Shun said: "This minion doesn't understand." The slave only knows that our Chu country is vast, and if you want to come, it will take a lot of time to rush from the capital to the border pass. ”
