Because it was still dark, all the officials stood here waiting for a long time, and the weather was still cold. They were tired and hungry, and their eyesight was a little weak.
Although his eyesight was not blurry, he still couldn't see clearly who was walking next to Li Junyan.
It was not until Li Junyan and Sang Jueqian walked hand in hand to the door of Fengxian Hall and were about to step in that someone finally noticed something was wrong.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, or in other words, throughout history, even the empress and the queen mother were not qualified to enter the Fengxian Hall.
But now, Li Junyan entered Fengxian Hall holding a woman, a woman wearing a dragon robe, which shocked all the civil and military officials.
Prince Heng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! What is this? Who is this person? Why is he wearing a dragon robe? And why is he entering Fengxian Hall with Your Majesty?"
Li Junyan stopped and turned to look at Prince Heng, "Are you questioning me?"
"I dare not!"
Prince Heng said he didn't dare, but he showed no intention of retreating.
"It's just that this concerns the country, I can't help but ask!"
With Prince Heng taking the lead, the royal family members, especially those princes who were older than Li Junyan, jumped out one by one.
"Your Majesty! Please give me an explanation!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"No matter who this person is, he cannot enter the Fengxian Hall, let alone wear the dragon robe. This is a crime of great disrespect!"
Others echoed and said similar things.
Li Junyan just listened quietly without any anger.
"Are you done? Then let me tell you next!
This is a goddess!
The goddess not only saved Tingzhou and Xizhou and dealt a heavy blow to the Turks, but also rescued the people of the entire Great Zhou during the snowstorm. Without the goddess, the Great Zhou might have been in danger of extinction!
Furthermore, the goddess bestowed immortal seeds that greatly increased the yield of grain, as well as cement, electricity, lamps and other magical things.
Everyone present here, who doesn't have something bestowed upon them by the goddess? Who hasn't enjoyed the goddess's grace?"
All the officials looked at each other in confusion, not even knowing how to answer.
In the end, it was Prince Heng who answered first.
"Your Majesty is right. The goddess has indeed helped the Great Zhou a lot. But as a goddess, isn't it natural for her to help the people of the Great Zhou?"
"As it should be?" Li Junyan sneered. "Who told you that it's natural for the Goddess to help the Great Zhou? The Goddess is just a Goddess, but she has never been the Goddess of the Great Zhou. If the Goddess had chosen to help the Turks, the Great Zhou would have been gone long ago. At that time, do you think you would still be able to stand here and speak nonsense?"
Prince Heng's face immediately turned pale.
Prince Heng knew how powerful the Turks were and how terrifying their cavalry was.
If the goddess really chooses to help the Turks, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Can--"
Prince Heng mustered up his courage and said, "Even so, even if I want to repay the goddess, I can't—"
"Can't what?" Li Junyan interrupted Prince Heng directly, "I might as well tell you that I have already offered the Great Zhou to the goddess, and begged the goddess to come to the Great Zhou and protect our Great Zhou for a hundred years.
The goddess also promised that when she became the emperor of the Great Zhou, she would bring peace and prosperity to the country, ensuring that everyone would have enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear. There would be no more harsh taxes and no more forced labor.
Whether it is the snow disaster in winter, the drought in spring, the flood in summer or the locust plague in autumn, the goddess will help us solve it.
The goddess will also grant us planting machines, allowing one person to cultivate dozens of acres of land in a day. The harvest will increase several times, and every granary in our Great Zhou will be filled to the brim, so we never have to worry about going hungry again.
There are also better ways to produce refined salt and white sugar, so everyone can eat them and the price will be very low.
Sooner or later, one day, every home in the land of our Great Zhou will have electric lights on, and smooth and clean cement roads will lead to everyone's doorstep.
Can you do this?"
When Prince Heng and others were asked this question, their expressions froze.
Of course they can't!
Before the goddess bestowed these things upon them, they had never dreamed of them, let alone seen them with their own eyes.
Seeing that they were silent, Li Junyan spoke again, "The goddess said that there is something called a train. Whether it is used to transport goods or people, it is very convenient. It is more comfortable, safer, more convenient, and faster than a carriage. If there really is a train, there will be no need to ride horses from Chang'an District to Tingzhou. You can sit comfortably and get to your destination."
By the way, you probably don’t know that the goddess also sent a weapon called a cannon. A cannonball can be fired hundreds of meters away, destroying a house and killing more than a hundred people.
Why didn't the Turks dare to make any more moves? That's because they had already seen the power of the cannons and knew that even their cavalry was no match for them. If they really came to the Great Zhou, they would only die.
Can you make the Turks so fearful?"
Prince Heng and others looked at each other, but still gritted their teeth and remained silent.
Li Junyan sneered, "These things, the goddess can give to the Great Zhou, naturally she can also give to the Turks. Whether to stop it or not, think about it yourself!"
If Li Junyan's previous words only made these people a little moved, then Li Junyan's last words were a complete killer.
They can continue to live without the goddess, but they cannot live with the goddess helping the Turks.
If the goddess really turned to help the Turks, the Great Zhou would not be far from destruction.
