No one answered.

All ostriches.

This is something that will be infamous for eternity.

Who is willing to do it?

Seeing this, Yan Jiaoran suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha--"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what the empress was up to.

After a while.

Yan Jiaoran's almond-shaped eyes were filled with murderous intent. She looked at the nobles in the hall and said with a smile:

"It seems that you are unwilling to surrender?"

If smiles could kill, the ministers in the hall would have been torn into pieces.

Everyone shuddered immediately, their backs covered in cold sweat.

Waited for a while.

Still no one spoke.

Yan Jiaoran slammed the armrest of the dragon throne hard, breaking it.

He then said, "Right Prime Minister, do you have any good plan to repel the enemy?"

Yang Yingguang immediately stood up and said loudly: "The law of nature is clear and retribution will come."

"The traitor King Qin will never succeed."

"I request Your Majesty to summon all the vassal kings to the capital to defend the king!"

"The King of Qin is a mere traitor. He will be wiped out in an instant!"

Yan Jiaoran asked again: "What about the rebels outside the city?"

Yang Yingguang seemed to have a clear mind and smiled faintly, saying, "Outside the city, the commander of the Divine Strategy Army, Li Yaoshi, is stationed. Inside the city, there are 100,000 imperial guards."

"The two sides support each other, watching over each other and waiting for help. Within a month, the rebels will surely suffer the consequences of their own actions!"

Yan Jiaoran's gaze rested on Yang Yingguang, she remained silent, thinking in her heart:

It turns out that this guy had this idea.

I hope that I can order all the princes to lead their troops to Beijing to defend the king.

But which prince was he colluding with?

By then, the whole Jingzhou will be in chaos. What good will it do him?

Yan Jiaoran didn't expect the court to come up with anything.

She just wanted to use this opportunity to test what the ministers in the court thought and whether they had already taken sides.

As for the safety of Jingzhou City, she was not worried.

Jingzhou City has high walls and a large garrison, and there is enough food and fodder in the city to last at least a year.

It would be impossible to take it down with just her second uncle's men.

Unless he has an accomplice in the city, someone will open the city gate for him.

Besides, there is that bastard Qin Yuan.

She wasn't panicking at all.

Therefore, Yan Jiaoran openly summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter.

She frowned, looking very troubled. She looked at Kong Lingda and asked, "Zuo Xiang, what do you think?"

"This is a great idea!"

Kong Lingda was very excited and praised him generously:

"Lord Yang is truly the pillar of our Great Zhou, the pillar that stabilizes our Great Zhou!"

"With Lord Yang in charge of Jingzhou, what is there to fear from the mere rebellion of the King of Qin?"

"Time waits for no man. Your Majesty, please issue an edict as soon as possible, ordering all the vassal kings to come to the capital to defend the king!"

hehe.

Yan Jiaoran sneered to herself and asked, "Minister of War, relying on the strategic location of Jingzhou City, how long can you hold it?"

Lei Fenkai frowned, stood up, and stammered, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I, your servant, do not know..."

Yan Jiaoran said with a cold face, "Don't know?"

"You are the Minister of War, responsible for strategic planning and leading the military and political affairs of the Great Zhou. How could you not know?"

Seeing Yan Jiaoran's rage, Lei Fenkai panicked and knelt down hurriedly: "I am incompetent, Your Majesty, and I hope you will punish me!"

This time.

It was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

All the ministers immediately shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, we are incompetent and cannot help you with your worries. Please quickly order all the princes to come to the capital to support you!"

This is a direct reveal of the true intentions.

Yan Jiaoran sneered repeatedly.

hehe.

The court is full of civil and military officials.

No one stood with her.

well.

It's hard to lead a team if people's morale is low.

She had clearly anticipated this situation and had prepared herself mentally.

But when it really happened, she felt a sense of sadness for no reason.

Oh, am I really that bad?
