Early in the morning, the sky is not yet bright, but the Xuanzhi Hall of the Great Zhou Palace has already been full of ministers, because it is still very dark, so the hall is brightly lit, and there is a smell of cheap candles burning - the Great Zhou has not been unified for a long time, the national strength is not rich, the country is mainly thrifty, and the palace is no exception.

The requirements for the emperor in the Great Zhou culture are very high, one of which is diligent and loves the people, at least in this point Tang Jie is still doing very well, he insists on going to the palace every day to listen to the government, handle affairs, and never stop.

The emperor and his courtiers sat around the table, and the courtiers would propose to the emperor what they had to tell him and let him decide.

It's the same today, the emperor has a lot of things to deal with, but after all, Tang Jie is also a generation of founding emperors, and his political ability is first-class, and when most of the things are dealt with, the sky has just turned slightly white.

The next thing is that the emperor has to discuss those more complicated government affairs with the ministers, these things are not very urgent, but they may consume a lot of time, so Tang Jie left it to the end to avoid affecting the efficiency of other government affairs.

There are two main things left today, one is the water control of the Qin River, and the other is the movement of the Mengnu tribe outside the Saiwai.

The flooding of the Qin River is already an old problem, just because the Qin River was not in the territory of the Later Zhou Dynasty before, so Tang Jie didn't have to worry about it, but now it is different, the whole world is not the king's land, and governing the Qin River is now a big problem that Tang Jie has to face.

The selection of management personnel, the contradiction between the money invested and the current national treasury, the resettlement of refugees, the prevention of displacement, and so on will not be solved for a while, but they are very urgent to solve.

It took a lot of effort and time for the governance plan to be settled, and Tang Jie felt a little exhausted at this time.

The next thing is not easy to deal with, the foreign movement.

Once this matter is not handled well, the country will be destroyed at the worst. The world is in turmoil again, which is also a headache for Tang Jie.

If Lin Wenhu was here, he would be much more relieved, and suddenly, Tang Jie couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment, thinking of this capable general.

However, soon, Tang Jie immediately threw this idea out of his mind, because he remembered his queen, that terrible woman.

Tang Jie will never forget the decisive battle against Yuan Zhou, and under Lin Yan's planning, Hou Zhou used the army of the allies to lure Yuan Zhou's army into the dense forest. Then a fire burned the allies and Yuan Zhou's army to ashes, and some enemy troops fled, and Hou Zhou designed to break through the river dam, drowning the remaining enemy troops and civilians into floating corpses. It can be said that in that battle, the Yuan Zhou Kingdom died a lot, and the Daozhì Qi was unable to recover his vitality in a short period of time, so he was destroyed by the Later Zhou Dynasty.

This inhumane, indiscriminate way of killing. Only the evil ghosts in hell can do it! From that day on, Tang Jie began to have a problem with Lin Yan in his heart.

However, since that time, Lin Yan has been like crazy, and she has continued to use poisonous schemes. In order to make more cities invest. She did not hesitate to slaughter the entire city with stubborn resistance, and in order to chill the enemy officials, she raided the homes of the enemy generals who stood firm, beheaded their relatives one by one in front of her, and finally ordered the historians to write history in front of her. Distort the facts, write them as despicable and shameless, and finally. It was only when the man had no hope and was in great pain that he was put to death - to deter those who tried to resist in such a terrible way.

Generally speaking, these brutal practices cannot be completely effective, but Lin Yan's strange vision makes this practice happen where it should be, and always gets the effect she expected, I have to say that this woman is terrible.

Lin Yan's unbounded approach undoubtedly catalyzed the unification of the Great Zhou Kingdom, so that the civil strife that would have taken more than ten years or even decades would end in a few years ahead of schedule.

However, the biggest hidden danger of this approach is that the foundation of the Great Zhou Kingdom is unstable, and it may be subverted at any time, which makes Tang Jie always feel like walking on thin ice.

Feeling exhausted, Tang Jie thought of his beautiful queen again.

When he first saw Lin Yan, Tang Jie was like iron being attracted by a magnet, and he was fascinated by this woman as beautiful as the moon.

Finally, under the auspices of his father Tang Xiaotao, Tang Jie got his wish and married this beauty, making her his queen.

After getting married, Tang Jie found that Lin Yan was not only beautiful and moving, but also knowledgeable, and more powerfully, she was well-educated and intelligent, not only the harem was well organized, but also she could analyze many state affairs for Tang Jie from different angles, so that Tang Jie could find the key to the problem, so as to solve it easily.

For Tang Jie at that time, Lin Yan was undoubtedly the best virtuous helper and staff officer.

At that time, Tang Jie finally understood what was called the Gentle Township Hero Mound, at that time, he even sometimes didn't want to pay attention to any annoying political affairs, and just wanted to go to a secluded and uninhabited place with Lin Yan and live in seclusion for a lifetime.

A year later, Tang Jie and Lin Yan had the crystallization of love, for which he loved the queen even more.

Until that day...... As long as he thought of the smell of roasted meat emitted from the charred corpses all over the mountains and the foul smell of swollen corpses floating on the water, Tang Jie couldn't help but shudder.

When she heard the results of the battle, the graceful and wise queen remained silent, and just said lightly: "Well, I know." ”

From that day on, Tang Jie discovered a different side of this perfect woman—a side that was enough to wake him up from nightmares.

There is also such a cold-blooded and beautiful queen in history, named Lu, she was actually favored by the emperor, and took sole power after the emperor's death.

The end of this queen was the end of her life, and the Great Zhou Kingdom under her rule was also extremely powerful and wealthy, but her successor, the ruler of the Great Zhou Kingdom...... Although no history book dares to record it explicitly, all historians have deduced a clear conclusion from the words in the history books - the successor to the throne is not the royal blood, but the illegitimate son born to the empress and the face head! The empress conspired to replace a royal baby with this illegitimate child, and finally let him succeed to the throne. In other words, the Great Zhou Kingdom of that dynasty actually changed the dynasty in some way!

Whenever Tang Jie saw Lin Yan, he would think of that Empress Lu for no reason. No, we must not let history repeat itself! Tang Jie secretly made up his mind about this, he began to slowly alienate the woman he once loved, and began to design to get rid of her supportive forces, and finally achieve the goal of abolishing the queen.

Tang Jie actually has a trace of pity for Lin Yan in his heart, his ultimate goal is just to abolish Lin Yan, make her discredited, and no longer qualified to participate in politics, just be a woman quietly, and don't want to kill the woman he loved before - this is the best ending that he can only do for the woman he loves as an emperor.

In fact, Chu Shou probably guessed what Tang Jie was thinking on the other side, but Chu Shou thought that Tang Jie was too naïve.

Although Lin Yan's methods are sometimes terrifying, she is not a ruthless woman, because in Chu Shou's eyes, Lin Yan is a kite flying high in the sky, but no matter how high this kite flies, it will never be able to get rid of the thin line of traction, which is this strange woman's love for Da Zhou.

In fact, Lin Yan always had a clear purpose in her heart - to end the war and revitalize the Great Zhou.

Although Lin Yan's crimes in the war are heinous, what if the war is not ended in advance and the war lasts for decades or hundreds of years?

Not to mention that the Lion Continent on the far side is flourishing day by day, and the Great Zhou Kingdom is getting farther and farther away, even the Mengnu tribe who are close to the outside of the fortress have begun to merge and become stronger, and if this continues, the Great Zhou civilization may not only be backward, but may even be destroyed, and more lives will be destroyed at that time.

Lin Yan's indifference to things didn't she want to disguise herself with indifference? When she set up these schemes, the young queen may also be dripping with blood in her heart. She is different from other Great Zhou people, she sees the other side of the world, she is awakened by this world, she is unwilling to wake up alone, because she can have a hunch that if the Great Zhou Kingdom does not wake up again, then there will be a bottomless abyss ahead, in order to get the country out of this fate, she does not hesitate to let her hands stain blood, and she does not hesitate to go to hell.

In this country, Lin Wenhu, who understands Lin Yan the most and Lin Yan who doesn't understand Lin Yan the most, is gone, the father may be able to feel his daughter's premonition, so he firmly accepts his daughter's plan, but he can't let go of it, he chose to retreat, and even escaped by death, leaving Lin Yan to fight alone.

A woman like Lin Yan, Chu Shou thinks it's still very cute.

But Chu Shou also felt that Lin Yan was naïve, because Lin Yanzheng's desire was too obvious, but the time to be the emperor was too short. In Chu Shou's memory, if a woman wants to grasp the core of power in a country like the Great Zhou State, she must first exercise in the harem, then kill the emperor, kill the next emperor, kill the next emperor, and finally be the emperor herself.

In the current situation, even Chu Shou couldn't let Lin Yan go to the emperor by himself, but if Lin Yan wanted to escape, Chu Shou was still willing to help him.

When Tang Jie and the ministers discussed state affairs, it was noon before he knew it. Suddenly, a yellow gate hurried into the Xuanzhi Hall and interrupted their discussion.

"Tell the emperor, Guanglu doctor Zhou Ting asks to see you!"

"Huh?" Hearing the news, Tang Jie was a little confused.

Zhou Ting was the minister who wrote the crusade against Yuan Zhoushu, and it was he who started the political turmoil that forced Lin Wenhu to death.

Tang Jie took pity on Zhou Ting's old age and frailty, and let him go to the temple the next day, today should not be his counselor's day, why is he so anxious to come to the Xuanzhi Palace......?
