The autumn breeze is cool.

Inside the hall stood the figure of a woman in gorgeous clothes, and she stood there quietly, like a statue, without the slightest anger.

A pair of eyes revealed an incomparably complex look, like sadness and resentment.

The hall was silent, except for the faint sound of breathing, only the sound of her heartbeat remained.

Empress, Fire Shimmer.

The new emperor of Dayan, ascended the throne in March, and a female stream becoming the new emperor can prove her extraordinary.

Her appearance and figure were excellent, but at this time her face was unusually haggard, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes.

Thirty years ago, the fortune of heaven changed suddenly, and the mysterious river was first discovered in the land of the Northern Barbarians, where an incredible material "aura" appeared, combined with the cultivation method left by the ancient genealogy books, and unearthed a huge secret thousands of years ago.

Gradually, a strange kind of capable people appeared in the Northern Barbarians, who used the ancient method to open up their own meridians, improve their physique, and use the Lingchuan Spiritual Qi to cultivate, and have unimaginable strong combat power.

The world calls them immortal cultivators.

In the past few years, the Northern Barbarians have taken advantage of this to vigorously discover the cultivators in their territory, let them join the army, and continue to encroach on the surrounding small countries and expand the territory of the Northern Barbarians.

As a result, countries were quickly put in a difficult situation.

But soon after good luck, Yuhe and Dafeng also created a small number of immortal cultivators in this extremely embarrassing environment within three years, and they went to great lengths to hide the secret of the second Lingchuan, precisely to resist the Northern Barbarians.

Since then, the world has been subverted, the aura of Xinghezhou has begun to recover, and the three kingdoms of Beiban, Yuhe, and Dafeng, which were originally as small as dust, have begun to stand up and become representatives of power.

The Northern Barbarians are warlike and arrogant, they have had enough of living in the cold land, they want a land with a suitable temperature, and start a war.

After a battle of Yingshan, the three kingdoms signed an agreement that immortal cultivators were not allowed to join the army to start a war and seek peace.

But the Northern Barbarians will not completely obey the orders of a piece of black and white, they will still invade small countries in private, and violate the agreement, but Yuhe and Dafeng can only turn a blind eye.

Dayan, as a once glorious country, has very few immortal cultivators, which has also contributed to its decline.

But in the history of Great Yan, the Great Yan royal family was able to rely on the help of bloodline and ancient methods to rise, but now, the Great Yan royal family is in danger.

"Your Highness, such a strong wind? Aren't you cold? Seeing this, the palace maid on the side was really worried, and couldn't help asking.

She looked at the woman in the temple and her heart was shocked.

This woman was so beautiful that she couldn't help but sigh, her temperament was too arrogant, as if the whole space was frozen by her, which made her tremble.

"Xiao He, what do you think of Emperor Huowu?"

The empress spoke, and her voice was like a clear spring, refreshing people's hearts.

Xiao He fell to his knees suddenly, "Your Highness, the slave doesn't dare to talk about it easily." ”

Huowu, the previous emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty and Huoshuo's father, has a high prestige and a deep city, and has been in power for more than 30 years, stabilizing the existence of the court of the Great Yan Empire, and has never been destroyed.

Now it's different, since the departure of Emperor Huowu, the Great Yan Dynasty has been in dire straits, not only the treasury is empty, the people are poor, and the government is chaotic, but also under the oppression of the Great Barbarians, Da Yan has to give up many territories.

The Great Yan Empire is in jeopardy!

"Despite the evaluation, it doesn't matter." The empress's voice was much colder.

"Yes......" Xiao He was apprehensive, but he had to agree to it.

"Emperor Huowu has a calm personality, not only has great prestige in the government and the opposition, but also wins the hearts of the people, and is a rare choice of virtuous monarchs......" Xiao He considered his words and said a lot of good things.

Hearing Xiao He's words, the empress smiled: "Is this what you say about him?"

Xiao He nodded slightly.

Then a sarcastic smile leaked out: "You mean I'm inferior to him?"

"Your Highness's forgiveness! The slave and maid don't dare, they have never had such an idea, spare your life, Your Highness. Xiao He hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Humph!"

The empress flicked her sleeves and turned around and walked into the hall.

Outside the hall, Xiao He sat on the ground, sweat oozing from his forehead, and his heart was beating like a drum.

Hmph, outsiders know that Emperor Huowu governs the country well, and all civil and military officials admire it, but only she knows that Emperor Huowu is absurd and unscrupulous by nature, and opened a harem, except for staying in the imperial court, the rest of the time is spent on this group of women.

Originally, the treasury was empty, and a private treasury had to buy a lot of jewelry for this group of women......

When she was young, her father had taken her into the cave of the first emperor, because she was a woman, she was not allowed to kneel down to see the first emperor, so she had to stay in the distance and watch from afar.

Every time my father left the cave of the first emperor, various disasters would break out in the Great Yan Territory.

Emperor Huowu used the dragon vein to forcibly absorb the anger of the people in the country many times, and used the use of the country to exchange for the opening of the cave of the first emperor.

Now that I think about it, there is a reason why Da Yan is down.

The emperor has been in office for more than three months, the land is scattered, and the people are bitter and brutal and coercing the capital, are these their own reasons?

Probably not, right?

The first thing Huo Shuo did when he took office was to transfer the private money warehouse back to the national treasury, and then cleaned up the garbage of the court, and killed most of the traitors in the court and the harem of thousands of people, so as to set an example and deter.

The second is to spread some food in the big cities around the capital, so that the people who fled because of the war will not starve to death.

The second is to repair the outer cities, restore those outer cities to their original state, and repair the city walls, increase military subsidies, recruit troops, and prevent the Northern Barbarians from attacking on a large scale.

But even so, Huoshuo still couldn't stop the footsteps of the Northern Barbarians, and one city after another fell, and one catastrophe after another came.

"Xiao He, will this catastrophe be serious?"

The empress looked at the dark sky in the distance and asked softly.

Xiao He's tears slid down her snow-white cheeks, her heart was full of despair, she didn't dare to say it if she wanted to, and she hesitated.

The empress then looked into the distance and muttered, "If you want to come to the national fortune, you will also be buried, and now who can bless Da Yan to pass this pass." ”
