Volume 5 [Blood Moon Demon Sorrow] 375: The Blade Queen angrily reprimanded the Admiral
The Baili Nebula is like a god, and Nangong Yao's awakening really symbolizes the resurrection of the bloody man and demon.
The next morning, a minister played: "Yesterday, Lin'an was in an emergency, saying that some people and demons suddenly appeared in the city. They have no lawlessness, and they are murderous. Smash the state capital and county government. More than 1,000 dead people also appeared on the barren mountains in Qingyuan County and other places. They climbed out of the coffins and plagued the people, killing many. Local governments have sent troops to resist, and many people have died in the line of duty. Please ask the emperor to immediately send troops to suppress it to relieve the people's difficulties!"
Dao Meimei didn't expect these demons to make a move so quickly. But now there are no available people in the court, and the old ministers standing in the hall are all old ministers who have been blown out of bells. It's okay for them to govern the country, but in the face of human and demonic chaos, none of them can do this job. In desperation, he ordered Nan Yingying, the Gonggong of Dongchang Factory, to lead Dongchang Jinyiwei to rush to Lin'an and other places to help local governments resist the invasion of people and demons.
Nan Yingying had just mourned for her husband, and before she had passed the first seven years, she received the emperor's order. After arriving in Lin'an, he began the operation of killing the demons. As soon as the East Factory failed, the imperial court had no security guarantees. That night, Wu Daozi and others finally arrived. The arrival of Taoist disciples made Dao Meimei feel a little at ease. He ordered the disciples of the Three Qing Dynasty to take turns guarding the city and guarding against the invasion of humans and demons at all times.
Bai Zimo used the butterfly technique to keep in touch with Nan Yingying at all times. After receiving the news, he immediately announced: "The emperor, the third sister, Sister Nan brought news that the number of people and demons in Lin'an City is increasing with the times. In just one day, it has been blocked in the streets. The number of Jinyi guards is limited, and if this continues, they will inevitably be outnumbered within two days. So please ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible. β
Ryuzo was in poor health, and hearing this news made it even worse, and his condition immediately deteriorated.
Xian'er saw that Dao Meimei was haggard, and Long Sanyi was slumped. Sister Nan just died of her husband, and her heartache has not yet healed, and now she is fighting hard for the people of the Ming Dynasty, which is really difficult for her. The emperor is bedridden, and you are the mother of the country and have to take care of government affairs for the emperor. At this time, someone needs to come forward, and Xian'er is willing to help you run to Lin'an!"
Dao Meimei was also very helpless at the moment, and said to Xian'er: "Xian'er, it's useless! Now it's not just Lin'an, Qingyuan, Erlong Mountain and other places have broken out zombie crises. The entire Ming people and demons are in trouble, even if you rush to Lin'an, it won't help. β
"Then what should I do? Nanyu retreated to Guanzhong, Mobei has taken the entire Guanwai, and it is estimated that it will soon attack the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zifeng ran around to recruit troops, but he didn't recruit a few, but he encountered an outbreak of people and demons, is Daming really finished?"
Lu Feiyan pulled Xian'er on the side and signaled her not to say depressing words in front of the emperor.
Xian'er reacted immediately, and said repentantly: "Bah, bah, bah, look at my crow's mouth! Third sister, don't worry, Sister Nan will definitely put down the rebellion between people and demons." I'm just saying that if I go at least one more person and have more strength, I don't mean anything else!"
I know better than anyone else. We can't settle this matter with the strength of a few of us. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to force the two governors of Guangning and Suining to return the 100,000 troops of the imperial court. I've already decided to go to Suining tomorrow morning!"
Next......
In the Suining Governor's Palace, dragon lanterns were hung, cattle were cooked and sheep were slaughtered, and a grand ceremony was held to welcome the queen.
Dao Meimei got out of the frame, was led by the eunuch, and entered the lobby. As soon as I entered the lobby, I felt that the layout of the house had taken a lot of thought and even more money! Antique plum blossom climbing chairs were neatly displayed on both sides of the hall; huge blue and white porcelain sat on both sides of the grid door; the porcelain was filled with rare colorful peacock feathers among the people; and the floor was covered with a precious peony carpet.
The Admiral of Suining and his family bowed to welcome the queen to the throne. And sent Mrs. and her own to serve the best tea: "This is the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain's specialty, soaked with the spring water of Henan Perfume Spring, the entrance is long and fragrant, with the fragrance of acacia flowers." Please also taste it!"
Dao Meimei thought to herself: 'Now that the Ming Dynasty has reached the point of life and death, not only will you not serve the court. is still so extravagant and profligate. It's simply a moth of the Ming Dynasty. β
"No need! The mourning family is not here to ask for a bowl of teaββLord Lu? As the Governor of Suining, you are disrespectful and know the law and break the law, can you be guilty?"
The admiral bowed, his eyes flickered, and he guessed that Dao Meimei must have come to collect the military power. But I've made all sorts of preparations. First of all, the environment was carefully arranged, hoping that the queen could feel that she valued her. Then take out a few big gifts and pay tribute to the mother to get her appreciation. In the end, the mother was left to enjoy herself in the house for a few days to win the favor of the mother.
To this end, he not only prepared food and wine, but also set up a stage in the backyard. With his many years of experience as an official, there is no 'convenience' in the world that cannot be bought with money!'
"Niangniang, I don't understand what the queen mother means by resisting the decree and disrespecting. Xia Guan has been an official for more than 30 years, and he has been loved by the people of Suining, and has been abiding by public discipline and contributing to the people. The upper is worthy of the emperor's grace, and the lower is worthy of the deep grace of the people. How can you be charged with knowing the law and breaking the law?"
Let me ask you, the emperor sent his predecessor Zhengbei Hou (Nanyu) to deliver a decree to ask you to return the 100,000 soldiers lent to you by the imperial court to fight the flood and rescue the disaster. Why do you refuse to pay the talisman?" asked Dao Meimei solemnly.
The Admiral put on a look of grievance and defended: "Niangniang, Weichen has been wronged! The 100,000 soldiers borrowed by the court are all in the hands of the Admiral of Guangning. When the Lord came to the palace to announce the decree, I had already truthfully informed the Lord of the matter. Didn't Lord Nan truthfully return to the emperor?"
Dao Meimei saw that he was cunning and fickle, and she really couldn't get used to his face. In a fit of anger, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Bold! You dare to lie in front of this palace! Admiral Guangning did not take over the 100,000 soldiers sent by the imperial court at all. It is clear that you embezzled the 100,000 troops and refused to return the talisman. How dare you quibble?"
The admiral had a gloomy face, but he didn't want to openly disagree with the court at this time, so he said stiffly: "Queen Mother, there must be a proof for everything." Dare to ask the empress mother? Did you see those 100,000 soldiers, or did you just listen to the words of the Governor of Guangning? I have been officials in the same court for many years and have served in the same court as the Governor of Guangning. Niangniang can't favor one over the other, only listen to his slander, and don't believe in Weichen's character. β
Now Mobei is committing my Ming Dynasty, as the Suining Taishou, the dignified waterfront governor, not only did you share the emperor's worries and solve problems, but also avoided the important and light, ignoring the people and water and fire, and brought many beautiful relatives to cook cattle and slaughter sheep in the house, and squandered extravagantly. If the official character is like this, how can the character come from?"
The Admiral didn't expect that this young and beautiful queen would be a hard stubble when she spoke. was accused by her like this, and it was inevitable that a strong rebellious heart would arise in her heart. But he still held his breath: "Niangniang, the official has been honest and upright all his life, and he has done his best for the court. How can you not understand the sufferings of the common people? On weekdays, the house has always been clothed with vegetables and food, and it is diligent and thrifty. This time, I heard that the queen's mother was going to come to our mansion, so I made an exception to kill cattle and cook sheep, so as to show the admiration of the queen for her subordinates. If Niangniang blames the old minister for this, the old minister is really wronged!"
"Did I say that I eat beef?ββ Lord Admiral? One of the plum blossom climbing chairs in your house is worth 10,000 taels of gold, don't you know the goods when you mourn the family? And the pair of blue and white porcelain cannon mouth jade net bottles, and a large number of colorful peacock feathers inside, these are all rare things among the people, is this also specially bought for me? There is also a peony blanket at the feet of the mourning family, which should be a tribute from the north of the Saibei, why is it in your mansion? What is your explanation for this thing?"
"It's ....... "Lord Admiral didn't expect that he, the queen, was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he actually started from these subtleties, and he was speechless.
Seeing that he was speechless, Dao Meimei continued to hold him accountable: "Lord Admiral, the emperor and I remembered that you were an old minister of the former dynasty to be entrusted with heavy use, not only are you not grateful, but you also harbored 100,000 soldiers when the court was in danger, what is your intention?"
This series of two questions made the Admiral speechless, and the corners of his eyes began to twitch constantly. Dao Meimei's face was very ugly when she saw him, and she didn't want to break with him before she got the talisman back. So he continued: "Now that Mobei is pressing, the imperial court is short of people. The mourning family doesn't want to embarrass you for a little thing. As long as you take the initiative to hand over the talisman and let me bring back the 100,000 soldiers, I will beg the emperor to open up and treat you lightly. β
This sentence of leniency obviously convicted the Admiral, and of course the Admiral was unwilling to listen to it! In the end, he did not compromise because he was unreasonable, straightened up and openly accused: "Empress Mother, as the master of the harem, you have interfered in politics without authorization, and you have already violated morality, so why should you punish me? In those years, the former emperor had never spoken such ill words to me when he was alive. And you forcibly reduced your guilt without evidence. The old minister is not convinced!"
The emperor is worried about the country and the people, and when he learns that the war at the border is unfavorable, he can't afford to deal with it for a long time. If the mourning family, as the emperor's pillow person, does not come out to make the decision for my husband at this time, will they have to wait for you, the ministers, to come to the rescue of the Ming Dynasty? Back then, you and the Governor of Guangning were in the middle of the court to conspire with the King of Wei and plot a palace change, don't think that neither I nor the emperor know! Now that you see that the emperor is in a predicament, you are gloating, and you are falling into the well, and the Mourning family is the greatest tolerance for you if you do not cut off your head! You are still obsessed, hurry up and hand over the talismans!"
The Admiral saw that this Sword Queen was indeed different, and the previous foreshadowing he had done in order to slap the horse did not have any effect on the Sword Meimei, but instead found her to reprimand her. Now that she has picked the words away, she will no longer be entangled.
He laughed and said: "Hahaha, okay! Since the queen insists on embarrassing the old minister, then the old minister doesn't have to estimate the face of the old minister! If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse! The talisman you want is not in my hand, I want to find 100,000 soldiers, please go elsewhere! Forgive the old minister for having important things to do, so I won't accompany him! Niangniang is good to goββ hum!"
"-You!"
