Seeing his foolish son's serious analysis, Huang Long immediately burst into a tirade:
"Weak my foot! Who knows Huma better than me?!"
"You know, Huma and his men are..."
Just as he finished speaking, Huang Long's expression changed, and he secretly thought something was wrong.
He had secretly sent Zhao Yuan and Hu Ma to conspire and dispatched troops to Jubeichuan. Now that Hu Ma had been killed, the plot was likely exposed. If the people of the world found out that someone in the court was colluding with Hu Ma, and the news spread, it would be disastrous!
Thinking of this, Huang Long broke out in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly walked out of the back garden, shouting, "Guards, escort me to the palace!"
——
The Imperial Palace.
Inside the Hall of Filial Piety.
Jin Fengluan sat upright on the dragon throne, her slender jade hands holding a memorial to the throne. Her beautiful face, which was both aloof and radiant, had captivating phoenix eyes that held a murderous aura.
Her nose was slightly upturned, her thin lips were pursed, and she had a hint of sharpness in her expression.
Below the stage, Huang Long knelt on the ground, not daring to even raise his head.
After a long while, Jin Fengluan finished reading the memorial and tossed it onto the stage.
"Clatter".
The memorial fell onto the table, the sound making Huang Long's heart tighten and his body tremble involuntarily.
Jin Fengluan looked at Huanglong, who was almost touching the ground, her eyes as cold as frost.
The memorial described the news of Qin Ze's annihilation of 80,000 Hu horses. After reading the memorial, Jin Fengluan took a deep breath to calm her intense emotions.
She sighed almost imperceptibly, her slender hand touching her fair forehead, her eyebrows already tightly furrowed.
If it were Qin Ze's previous suppression of bandits, it would only have surprised her.
But now, having annihilated 80,000 Hu cavalry, he has to think deeply about this.
When the Northern Liang territory was initially granted to Qin Ze, was it truly a case of releasing a tiger back into the mountains?
When he left the capital, he was only escorted by eight hundred personal guards. He had been in Beiliang for less than a month, yet he accomplished two major feats in succession.
And now, the great achievements he has made have spread throughout the entire Northern Liang, no! It should be said that they have spread throughout the entire Great Gan!
Jin Fengluan could already sense that the situation was beginning to spiral out of control.
She rubbed her temples, her eyes growing increasingly cold, her fingers clenching tightly into her palms.
For Da Gan, the annihilation of the Hu cavalry that harassed the border was a good thing. The people could live and work in peace and contentment, and it also demonstrated the power of the nation and dampened the arrogance of the Hu cavalry.
only....
This man who displayed his power was the son of General Tiger Might, the young marshal of the Crimson Flame Army, and the current Prince of Zhenbei.
This inevitably reminded her of events from many years ago.
At that time, Da Gan was still weak, and Qin Haotian had already fought on the battlefield and was famous since he was young.
At that time, she was only sixteen years old, yet she had already heard people in the deep palace talking about the deeds of this young general.
After comparing them, Qin Ze is now only eighteen years old, just like Qin Haotian back then.
No, Qin Ze's achievements now even surpass those of his father...
If he continues to make contributions in Beiliang like this, then in the future...
Jin Fengluan was lost in thought.
Huang Long, kneeling with his face pressed against the ground, had been kneeling for almost half an hour. Now, hearing that there was still no movement from the dragon throne, he became increasingly flustered.
Feeling uneasy, he secretly glanced at the dragon throne.
But that glance met the empress's icy gaze.
Upon seeing this, Huang Long broke out in a cold sweat, his body trembling like a leaf, and he immediately lowered his head.
The moment I looked down, a cold voice rang out.
"You sent Zhao Yuan to discuss with Hu Ma the idea of destroying the Qin family. Do you know what you did wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Long's heart leaped into his throat, cold sweat poured down his back, and after a moment's thought, he hurriedly replied:
"Your Majesty, I am a foolish subject who underestimated the number of Qin Ze's troops."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sneer rang out.
You're right.
Upon hearing this, Huang Long felt a sense of relief, but the next moment, a cold shout rang out.
You are absolutely stupid!
"You dare to collude with the Hu and Ma tribes, plotting to murder a high-ranking official of the court! What is your punishment!"
Huang Long's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I...I was only thinking of Your Majesty! I thought Your Majesty intended to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Fengluan coldly interrupted him:
"What's wrong with me?"
The air seemed to freeze at that moment. Huang Long felt a chill run down his spine, and he could almost see axe-wielders emerging from both sides of the hall, ready to behead him.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die for my unwarranted accusations! I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!" Huang Long's face turned ashen, and he kowtowed loudly.
"Alright, General Huang, there's no need for that," Jin Fengluan said coldly, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Huang Long then stopped kowtowing and knelt on the ground, trembling.
Then, Jin Fengluan pursed her lips and said expressionlessly:
"General Huang, Qin Ze first suppressed the bandits, and then annihilated 80,000 Hu cavalry. He was so famous that he was unparalleled. The whole country was shocked and the people praised him."
"What do you think Qin Ze will do next?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Long gasped, a myriad of thoughts surging through his mind.
He dared not answer, nor dared to make any more wild guesses.
But there was one thing he was very clear about: if Qin Ze were allowed to continue developing in Beiliang, he didn't believe Qin Ze would not make that rebellious decision!
After all, his father, and those hundreds of thousands of Crimson Flame Army soldiers...
"Speak!" Jin Fengluan shouted coldly.
Huang Long felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but quickly, he steeled his resolve and gritted his teeth, saying:
"Your Majesty, I believe he will rebel!"
