Chapter 19: The Empress's Wrath

The next day, the Taiqian Palace.

It was the time of the early dynasty, and the ministers of civil and military affairs stood on either side. The empress has a golden hairpin on her head, a dragon carved with hairpins, a red dragon robe with nine dragons, a crown on her head, and a resolute expression in her eyes. Her pretty face is slightly powdered, although she looks pretty, she is not angry and arrogant, and her momentum is aggressive.

Today's early dynasty is very special, there is no minister to do things, and it is completely the empress who is talking alone. The entire Taiqian Hall was renovated by the master craftsmen of the Winter Official. From the platform to the arc extends the entire temple. The sound coming from the dragon chair can echo in this hall without being deliberately amplified.

General Jin Wuwei and Shendu Fu Yin put their heads on the ground and trembled. The two of them said that the other few people had been stripped of their official uniforms and tied to the ground in white, and it looked like they were going to be pushed out and beheaded soon.

The ministers were silent, and as for the several bigwigs in the court, their faces were indifferent. For them, Thunder and Rain can no longer be shaken in the slightest. It's just that the anger shown by the Empress recently deserves their attention. Although the Empress seemed to be only talking to the two people kneeling on the ground, she was actually knocking on the side.

The death of the emperor in front of the empress can almost be called a disgrace to the imperial court.

Tang Yun reported what he had seen and heard, and they tracked it all the way, and finally found the blue wolf left and right guards in the Northern Wilderness. The Northern Wilderness is a sensitive word for everyone in Shendu City, and even more so in the court. Since the incident of Hu Chailing, the empress has ordered Xia Guan to dismiss many border generals, and changed the defense all the way from Mobei to the capital.

Unexpectedly, the people of the Northern Wilderness still arrived at the city of Shendu and planned to kill a prime minister.

"They can come to kill Li Wancheng today, can they attack the prince tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, is it my head, it should be hung in front of the city gate of the capital of the Northern Wilderness!"

The empress was already furious to the extreme, the crown beads on her head swayed, her phoenix eyes widened, and she pointed at the courtiers below and scolded loudly.

All the ministers in the hall knelt down in amusement, and it was the empress who was angry, and it was best not to touch this mold.

Shendu Mansion Yin had never felt that today was so long, the weather was hot, and his head was already covered with beads of sweat. At this moment, the beads of sweat fell to the ground, and one arm was numb and tired, but he didn't dare to rest.

Jing Zhaoyin, an official, has not been a good official since the previous dynasty. If it is the state officials in other places, it is easy to say, but in the capital, there are many officials like dogs, and the marquis walks all over the place, no matter what he does, he is timid, and if something bad happens, he has to ask them to come to the top of the tank.

General Jin Wuwei suddenly raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely find out the murderer hidden in the capital and protect Your Majesty's safety!" ”

This was almost the last plea for mercy, and it was happening, and it was hard for them to imagine what kind of sentence the enraged Empress would give them without saying a few words.

"Lu Zhengqi, do you want to protect my safety?" The Empress snorted coldly.

General Jin Wuwei raised his head in horror, he glanced at the empress, saw that the empress had a firm gaze, and then hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly.

At this moment, his heart was like ashes.

Jin Wuwei General Lu Zhengqi is the nephew of the former Chaoyang Emperor, and as a member of the royal family, he has always been quite arrogant. It's a pity that the empress's words have already hit him to the bottom.

Lu Zhengqi sighed in his heart, his head hit the solid stone brick, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to smear his liver and brain, just to protect the holy car, if he can make His Majesty's dragon body stable, the minister will not hesitate to die." ”

"Very well, since you are willing to die for me, then I will fulfill you. The Mobei Army is just short of manpower, so you go to the Mobei Army and start as a pawn. When you get to where you are today, return to the capital! ”

The empress was extremely angry, but Lu Zhengqi was completely disheartened. The Mobei Army is not as good as other armies in the Great Zhou, and some of the armies are promoted quickly as long as you have connections and money. But the Mobei Army is different, it is the most tired, bitter and dangerous army of the Great Zhou, and it eats nearly half of the military salary budget of the entire Xia Guanyamen every year.

If you want to get ahead in the Mobei Army, you rely on your military exploits and strength. Tang Yun stayed in the Mobei Army for twelve years before he barely became a colonel and captain. Every general in the Mobei Army was piled up by relying on the bones of the mountains of people in the Northern Wilderness.

Mobei Jiedu makes the second grade, and his current General Jin Wuwei is the third grade, and there is a difference of two grades between the Jiedu envoy. If he wants to return to the position of general, unless he destroys one of the three royal courts of the Northern Wilderness.

It's hard to climb to the sky.

As for Shendu Mansion Yin, this fat man is even worse, and he was also transferred to the Mobei Army. Lu Zhengqi is at least a military general, but this Shendu Mansion Yin is a civil official. Not to mention promotion, it's already good if he can save his life.

These people related to Li Wancheng's case were quickly arrested outside the main hall, and the empress made a decision, and none of them begged for mercy. It would be futile, and even begging for mercy would have provoked the Empress's anger even more.

"Tang Qing, there have been signs of monsters in the gods recently?" At this point, the Empress continued to question in a loud voice.

Tang Yun walked out of the ranks of ministers and said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Hunting Division surveyed the surroundings of the Divine Capital day and night, but did not find any trace of the monsters. ”

Hearing that there was no trace of the monster, the atmosphere in the court began to soften. The expression on the empress's face improved slightly, and she said, "The gods are safe, Tang Qing also needs to pay more attention!" ”

Tang Yun hurriedly saluted and said yes, and the court meeting would end soon.

Tang Yun walked out of the Taiqian Palace, and the sun was just right outside. The towering palace walls are towering, and rows of soldiers are standing, and the momentum is magnificent.

"Lord Tang!" Someone stopped Tang Yun, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Ah Qiao.

Ah Qiao walked to Tang Yun's side with a smile on her face, her figure was very good, and she was dressed in a brocade dress draped over her body to outline Miaoman's figure.

Tang Yun glanced at her with some curiosity: "Captain Aqiao, I am not on duty in the palace today, why did I run to the front of this Taiqian Palace?" ”

Ah Qiao said: "Your Majesty has handed over the task of guarding the Taiqian Palace to Ruoshui, and Jin Wuwei is now only responsible for the garrison of the outer wall of the imperial city, and the interior is rotated by Yu Linwei and the other sixteen guards. ”

Tang Yun raised his eyebrows, but then he was relieved when he thought about it. The emperor was killed on the spot, and the empress inevitably panicked a little.

Tang Yun also saw the figures of the hundred horses, but there were only a few, and it seemed that they should be acting as secret sentinels.

Ah Qiao said: "Actually, I came to serve the meaning of His Highness." The Lord saved His Highness in the water, His Royal Highness was grateful, and he never repaid the Lord well, so he sent me to deliver a letter to the Lord, there is a banquet in Fengluan Pavilion tomorrow night, see if the Lord can enjoy his face? ”

Tang Yun looked at King Yan with some surprise, he saw King Yan sit back in the carriage, open the curtain, and smile at him.

"You go back and tell His Royal Highness King Yan that I will go to the banquet." Tang Yundao.

Tang Yun walked out of the palace wall, and at this moment, a carrier pigeon flew over and landed on his arm.

A letter was tied to the pigeon's leg, Tang Yun opened the letter, and a trace of solemnity suddenly flashed on his face.
