The next day, early morning.

The sky has not yet put on its bright red wedding dress, and it is gray.

The mist is white.

The day of the grand court meeting, which is the most disgusting and painful for all the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou, has arrived again.

Meetings are not annoying, but getting up early is tiring.

Empress Yan Jiaoran has changed her previous habit of skipping work and has become diligent in her work.

It really blinds the titanium alloy eyes.

It had to be Zhao Ritian. With just one article, he turned a female tyrant into a diligent king.

He is truly a role model for our generation!

Most of the civil and military officials were waiting quietly outside with the intention of watching the fun.

In the carriage hung with gold and silver dragon embroidered belts, Yang Yingguang rubbed his face vigorously with the cold towel handed to him by Li Gang.

The gloomy look was instantly replaced by a warm smile.

Then he adjusted his clothes in front of the bronze mirror.

today.

His eyelids were twitching extremely violently.

Obviously something big is going to happen.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of drums reminded Yang Yingguang who was adjusting his breathing.

Before they knew it, the time for the grand court meeting had arrived and the guards had already sounded the drums.

After a drum beat.

All the officials have been divided into left and right, forming a long queue according to their rank.

Then, the second drum beat.

The officials entered the Taiji Hall one after another from the side gates on the left and right.

When Yan Jiaoran entered the Taiji Hall and sat down on the dragon throne, the third drum beat came to an abrupt end.

After a long and boring series of greetings and politeness.

Immediately, some censors were eager to try.

Their role model, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Ritian, has already written a masterpiece that will be remembered for ages, criticizing the empress to the point of being worthless.

It is a good time for these people to take advantage of the victory, cheer for Zhao Sheng, and gain some fame!

However, they miscalculated.

Yan Jiaoran knew their routines very well and her mind was as clear as a mirror.

How could we give them the opportunity to turn the grand court meeting into a denunciation meeting?

His sharp gaze swept across the hall like a sword, shocking everyone in his sight.

The younger and less experienced officials among the hundreds of officials were so frightened by such a terrifying look that they couldn't help but sway slightly, and their feet and knees suddenly felt sore and weak.

Tsk tsk tsk.

The tyrant queen is angry.

Yes, who wouldn't be angry after being criticized by such a great article?

The fact that he didn't clamor to kill all nine clans of Zhao Ritian on the spot was already a sign of his extremely good temper.

I don’t know what she wants to do today?

Yan Jiaoran smiled coldly and spoke directly, breaking the censors' plan.

"Today's court meeting will only discuss one matter—"

Arrest Zhao Ritian?

Or kill Zhao Ritian?

The officials were becoming more and more excited, as their chance to leave their names in history had come.

The censors were even prepared to see Zhao Sheng die in glory.

Yan Jiaoran's tone suddenly changed, and she said calmly:

"Three days from now, I will set up an altar in the eastern suburbs to offer sacrifices to the heavens. The leaders of each department should submit a charter as soon as possible."

Um?

What?

Everyone was shocked.

Offering sacrifices to heaven?

Why are you offering sacrifices to the gods for no reason?

Were you dumbfounded by Zhao Sheng’s article?

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what Yan Jiaoran intended to do.

Kong Lingda pondered for a moment, thinking he had guessed Yan Jiaoran's thoughts, and immediately stepped forward, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it."

"Oh?" Yan Jiaoran raised her eyebrows. Was the bastard's plan seen through?

He looked at Kong Lingda with interest and said calmly, "Prime Minister Kong is the pillar of the Great Zhou. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why hide it like this?"

"I'm not some tyrant!"

Kong Lingda did not take the empress's sarcastic words to heart.

He smiled slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Zhao Sheng's article?"

Yan Jiaoran remained calm.

Kong Lingda continued, "I think that instead of praying to God for forgiveness, it would be better to..."

"Issue an edict to repent and appease the resentment of scholars throughout the world!"

The words fell.

All the officials immediately understood.

So that’s it!

No wonder the empress suddenly wanted to offer sacrifices to heaven.

It turns out that they wanted to use this trick to divert public opinion and conflicts.

That won’t do!

The censors jumped out one after another and advised: "Your Majesty, what the Left Prime Minister said is reasonable. Instead of offering sacrifices to heaven and asking the gods for help, why not issue an imperial edict to repent?"

"I second the motion!"

"I second this motion!"

“…”

In an instant, a huge wave of public opinion was set off, hitting the lonely Yan Jiaoran.

Yan Jiaoran stared at them and shook her head, saying, "I did nothing wrong. Why should I issue an edict to blame myself?"

The ministers: “…”

Good job.

Play this hand?

In Zhao Sheng's article, every single thing is listed so clearly and clearly, how can you deny it?

Female tyrant, doesn’t your conscience hurt?

The censors are ready to defend justice with their own bodies.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yingguang suddenly stepped out and said in a muffled voice, "If you are not asking for forgiveness from Heaven, why is Your Majesty offering sacrifices to Heaven?"

"The matter of offering sacrifices to the heaven is of great importance. There must be a reason for it, right?"

Yan Jiaoran snorted coldly and laughed softly:

"I, an immortal appeared in my dream last night."

"The immortal ordered me to offer sacrifices to the heavens in the eastern suburbs three days from now. Then auspicious signs will descend upon the world."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials were in an uproar!

Immortal appears in dream?

Offering sacrifices to heaven?

Auspicious sign coming to the world?

Can you make any more excuses?

Don't think we don't know what you are planning.
