Chapter Seventy-Eight: Turning the Tide

The country is changing, and a new generation is replacing the old.

Someone suppressed it with an imperial sword, and the people in the Holy Courtyard were powerless to resist at all. Even if it is as strong as the Academy of Letters, you can only pinch your nose and admit it. hurriedly threw Meng Hongye and others out, and carried the black cauldron, which can be regarded as an explanation to Wucheng Wangfu.

Princess An Ning ascended to the throne in a good way, and Zhao Mu's nickname, if Zhou Yi was there, might be able to end up with a good sound. But now it is Zhao Min who is in charge of the DPRK, and this matter is not so easy.

If it weren't for Zhao Mu listening to Meng Hongye and the others, he had to run out to drive the expedition, and things would not have been so bad. Therefore, Zhao Min made the decision and gave him a temple number of Wuzong, what kind of nickname or something, just think about it.

The orc army is approaching, and there is no spare time to make a big enthronement ceremony. As the queen mother, she issued an edict and spread it to the world, and a generation of empresses was also the system of the dynasty.

Of course, the one in charge of the court is naturally Princess Wucheng.

"Order Zhao Min, the princess of Wucheng, to lead the cabinet deputy assistant and take charge of state affairs on behalf of King Wucheng; order Chakhan Timur to lead the deputy commander of the world's soldiers and horses, and to take charge of the world's soldiers and horses on behalf of King Wucheng; order Zhang Ji to lead the cabinet auxiliary ministers to assist Princess Wucheng in managing the government affairs, take charge of the ministry, and appoint officials at all levels; order Gao Jun to lead the cabinet auxiliary ministers and take charge of all affairs of the household department and the military department......"

A series of personnel changes were passed on under Zhao Min's instructions. The position occupied by the Scholar's Yuan and the People's Court was divided between the Zongheng Yuan, the Moyuan, and the Military Yuan.

And this is not the biggest change, the thing that really shook the world was that people from the martial arts sect actually entered the imperial court. This is simply something that has not been done in the Qinling Empire for thousands of years, which makes people look sideways.

The disciples of the Tianji Sect have entered the household department and the military department, and they have been placed in various dangerous positions. And the members of the former Holy Fire Sect were also deliberately arranged by Zhao Min into the cabinet and the six departments, making Zha Gaoyang, Zhang Ji and others disgusting.

Taohuawu's disciples are all women, and they are installed in the palace to protect the safety of Empress Anning. As for whether there is a suspicion of surveillance, you have to ask Zhao Min and Luo Qingyan!

When Luo Qingyan first entered the palace, Zhao Min was extremely distrustful of her and took precautions everywhere. But this woman relied on her words and deeds to impress Zhao Min and make her believe that she was loyal to King Wucheng. Now, Luo Qingyan's status is much higher than Zhen Yao's, and she has almost become Zhao Min's confidant. The regret in the latter's heart at this time is probably also very much. After all, that little selfishness at the beginning not only failed to achieve, but left a bad influence in the minds of Zhou Yi and others, which really outweighed the losses.

As for the other sects and factions, they were only sent to the criminal department and the localities, but they were also very satisfied, and they could be regarded as having tasted the sweetness of taking refuge in King Wucheng.

In addition to these personnel changes in the DPRK and China, military movements in the northern part of the empire were also frequent.

Chakhan Timur was originally a battlefield general, and he was born as the generalissimo of the Yuan Empire. Something like military strategy, presided over by him, may be more suitable than Zhou Yi.

In addition, Zhou Yi's hardcore martial arts people led by Tianjimen were placed in various main battle regiments as military attaché adjutants at all levels.

He is also well aware of the control of the various legions of the empire.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the north has been eroded, and in a hurry, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to organize an effective line of defense. It is better to directly withdraw all these legions and remnants to the front line of the imperial capital. On the one hand, it can reorganize military affairs, so that the crippled legions can replenish their forces and restore their combat strength, and on the other hand, they can also organize a defense line nearby, consolidate the defense of the first line of Luojing City, and buy time for the southern elf reinforcements to go north. Chahan walked to the middle of the hall and said solemnly.

In the new round of court meeting, Zhao Min is already standing at the head of the hundred officials, and below him are Zhang Ji and Gao Jun. Zha Gaoyang has been expelled from the cabinet, and now he only participates in the court meeting as a representative of the court in the imperial court, and hangs up the false post of a scholar.

An Ning sat on the throne and felt awkward. Seriously, she never thought that she would one day sit in this position.

Alas, people really don't want to carry such a heavy burden!

Alas, where did Zhou Yi go, this wife of his is really powerful! Suppressing those old pedants to the point that they have no temper at all, if only I had this ability!

Chahan spoke impassionedly below, but An Ning sat on it without thinking, and he didn't react at all for a long time.

"Cough, Your Majesty!?" Zhao Min has been standing there without saying a word, after all, it was his father who played it, and he was not very suitable to support him immediately. But An Ning had a tangled and constipated expression, sitting on it, she knew at a glance that her mind didn't know where to go, and in desperation, she had to wake up An Ning with a voice.

"Ahh Then as soon as he made a sound, he almost didn't faint Chahan.

Among the officials below the "poof...... some people couldn't hold back, and there was a burst of sneering.

Zhao Min's face is also difficult to look at, this empress Xià's mind is really unreliable!

"Your Majesty, Cha Han is playing, please send the northern legions back to defend Luojing City!" But no matter how dissatisfied he was, Zhao Min had to endure it, while warning the hundred officials of the court and the central government to pay attention to their manners, while concisely repeating Chahan's words.

"Well, yes, then bring them back! Uh, well, I don't have an opinion!" An Ning's words came out, and the expressions of half of the people in the court were very uncomfortable, and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to show it, and they were so suffocated.

I've seen unreliable emperors, but I've never seen such an unreliable emperor.

According to the urine sex of Gao Yang, at this time, he will definitely stand up and express his opinion, in front of Xinjun to show his cunning.

But Meng Hongye was questioned and ended up beheaded. Killing monkeys and making an example of chickens, Zha Gaoyang didn't dare to risk his life to touch Zhao Min's bottom line. If there was the support of the sages of the Academy of Literature, maybe Meng Hongye would still fight, but without support, he could only end in tragedy. Even in order to save the family, he didn't even dare to resist. Zha Gaoyang asked himself, the sage of the court would not support him, so he no longer had the courage to resist.

Standing behind the crowd, Zha Gaoyang hung his head and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, this is to give up the entire northern counties of the empire! Please think twice!" Zha Gaoyang did not speak, which did not mean that others had no opinions.

Dazong Ling stood up to refute at this time, he asked himself if he was selfish, so he was not worried about what Zhao Min would do to him.

"Uh, the Great Sect Order, what do you mean?" An Ning saw that it was the Great Sect Decree in this clan who was extremely high-ranking and opposed, and she was a little afraid of the Great Sect Order on weekdays, and her scalp suddenly felt a little numb.

"Your Majesty, the northern counties can't abandon the defense, when the herald orders the counties to defend the city, Luojing City quickly organized reinforcements to the north and drove the orcs out of the empire. Zhao Min thought that this guy could say something insightful, but who knew that it was such a bad idea, and he was disappointed.

"Well, what the Great Zong Ling said is very true, just follow the ......" An Ning is unprincipled, and when he saw the most feared Dazong Ling speak, he hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice. However, before she finished speaking, Zhao Min couldn't avoid suspicion and hurriedly stood up to interrupt her.

"Your Majesty, the orcs cooperated with the Mumbak half-orc kingdom to invade the south this time, the army is huge, many counties in the north have fallen, coupled with the defeat of the first emperor in the north, the imperial court's armies in the north have suffered heavy losses, and it is not enough to support the imperial reinforcements. And it is even more impossible for Luojing City to organize reinforcements to go north in a short period of time. The first emperor went north to personally conquer and damaged the elite Praetorian Guard Corps in the imperial capital. If the orc army continues to move south, there will be no strong army north of the imperial capital that can stop the enemy, and it will be able to drive directly to Luojing overnight. If you send reinforcements to the north, let me ask the Great Sect Order, when the time comes, what will Luojing City do?!"

As soon as Zhao Min analyzed this, the officials in the court suddenly became noisy. On the case of private affairs, Luojing City is the capital of the Qinling Mountains and the political center of the empire, and if it fails, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the world. At first, everyone didn't think about the orcs continuing to go south, so they didn't care. However, when they heard that the orcs were very likely to continue south, these people thought about it carefully and found that it was really as Zhao Min said. To the north of the imperial capital, there was nothing left to stop the orcs from moving south.

This time, there is no need for Zhao Min to say more, these people will not agree to transfer the imperial capital garrison to rescue the north. I can't say it, but I have to quickly transfer the army of King Qin from all over the country into Beijing to strengthen the defense of the imperial capital.

The strength of the orc army is well known to everyone. Therefore, for the strength of the defenders of Luojing City, everyone will have no bottom in their hearts.

Zhao Min's goal had been achieved, he looked at the Great Sect Order and smiled, slowly retreated to the queue, and watched these civil and military officials, lords and nobles and relatives instruct the Great Sect Order.

Dazong Ling was dumbfounded! He actually had no selfish intentions, but he felt uneasy about giving up the northern counties. That's why he stood up and said that he was going to send reinforcements north. But where are the reinforcements, everyone is not stupid. At the moment, if you talk about reinforcements, it can only be drawn from the army of the imperial capital, such as the half-elf Eight Banners and the Wucheng King Suwei Iron Cavalry.

However, he didn't expect that this mention would poke the hornet's nest and provoke opposition from so many officials and nobles.

This is that he is too simple, he didn't think about it at all, the family business of these courtiers and nobles is in Luojing City, and the safety of Luojing City is the life + root + son of these people.

An Ning was also dumbfounded! Her out-of-the-box temperament didn't understand why this was happening. Fortunately, she also knows how to rely on Zhao Min.

"Sister Minmin...... , uh, no, Zhao Aiqing, what should I do now? I'm in a dilemma!"

Zhao Min heard the voice of the little girl's embarrassment, and her cute little face was wrinkled, and she couldn't bear it in her heart.

"Be quiet! Pay attention to the court! Ladies and gentlemen, according to this official, Lord Chahan's mention is more appropriate, after all, Luojing City cannot afford to be lost. Moreover, His Royal Highness Feather Dance Amber Light has already sent people to rush to the south and dispatch the elven army north. Even if we want to fight back against the orcs and half-orcs, we will have to wait until the elven reinforcements and the legions in the south of the empire gather. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to gather the army in the north, stick to the front line of Luojing City, and must not let the orcs continue to move south. As soon as she spoke, there was a sudden silence below, and then she saluted An Ning and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty for permission to transfer the northern armies back to defend Luojing." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

"Seconded!"

......

With her taking the lead, Zhang Ji, Gao Jun and others naturally saw the shape clearly, knowing that this was the general trend of the DPRK and the people's aspirations, so they naturally seconded the proposal. And those officials and nobles who were worried about their own lives happily seconded the proposal.

At this time, the Great Zong Ling is a pig who also wants to understand the cause and effect, and knows that he has encountered everyone's scales. Fortunately, he still knows that he conforms to the will of the people.

"The minister is ashamed, Your Majesty, and the minister also agrees with Lord Zhao and Lord Chahan!"

The general policy has been set, and all that remains is to implement it step by step. These things are handled by the people below, and Zhao Min's momentum in the court has safeguarded the interests of the vast majority because of this matter, and he has gained the support of these courtiers and nobles, and has become more prominent.

"Women don't let their eyebrows go, turn the tide Princess Zhao!"
