The palace walls, which should have been airtight, have become riddled with holes over the years and are now leaking in from everywhere.
As a result, the news that Qin Yuan led troops to quell the banditry spread like wildfire in Jingzhou City, and in less than half an hour, it reached everyone's ears.
For a moment, the entire Jingzhou City was in an uproar.
"Alas... one year... just one year! I'm only one year away from retirement. Your Majesty is such a worry. I just want to leave a good reputation and return home in glory. Why is it so difficult..."
"If they were the Left and Right Thousand Oxen Guards protecting Jingzhou, I would still be wary of them. But these are just government soldiers. I've spent half my life in the military, so why should I be afraid of them? Not to mention, the commander-in-chief is a weak scholar who can't even lift a finger or carry anything! Hahahaha... Your Highness! Great things can be accomplished!"
"Is this stupid woman crazy? She actually sent a powerless civilian official to quell the rebellion? I can't let my brother's foundation be destroyed in your hands!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, interesting, so interesting, I can pay more..."
“…”
For a moment, there was thunder in all directions.
Jingzhou City was originally as calm as a stagnant pool of water.
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged.
All the forces lurking in the darkness are ready to make a move.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the bandits who coerce refugees to rob people on the road are backed by those ambitious princes.
This move was precisely to test the empress's reaction.
At the same time, test the combat effectiveness of the Central Guards who have been away from battle for a long time.
At this time, the empress should send a veteran general to lead the most elite troops to kill these villains with thundering force, show off her muscles, and deter those ambitious people who are ready to make moves.
However.
But she didn't do that.
Instead, they sent an unknown top scholar, a frail scholar who could neither lift anything with his hands nor carry anything on his shoulders.
Leading a large army to fight, isn't that just going to die?
Moreover, the troops he led were not the most elite Central Guards of the Great Zhou, but the temporary soldiers recruited for rotation.
Isn’t this even more ridiculous?
This battle is doomed to fail.
No one is optimistic about the prospects of this battle.
And this defeat will be like the fall of dominoes, triggering countless chain reactions.
At this point, the situation in the entire Da Zhou has become tense.
The Empress's recent actions clearly indicate that—
She is a tyrant!
Using rice bran to relieve disasters will leave a lasting bad reputation.
The scholar leading the army is stupid and incompetent.
The opportunity that some people have been waiting for has quietly arrived. Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!
Assess the situation.
The smart people in the Great Zhou have already begun to flirt with each other, vying to be the hero who supports the dragon.
…
In the carriage.
Qin Yuan was also very distressed.
He clearly just wanted to live a quiet life, surrounded by women at home, enjoying all the blessings of life, and living a leisurely life, waiting for death and enjoying his old age.
Who would have thought that he would be inexplicably swept into the turbulent undercurrent and become the focus of everyone's attention.
Qin Yuan was very clear about the current situation.
Those who block the road and rob people are not bandits at all. They are clearly arrogant and powerful generals under the command of the princes of various towns in disguise.
The suppression of this riot is of great significance.
If you win, you can buy some time and catch your breath.
If he loses, he'll probably cry out, "Are kings, princes, generals, or ministers of any kind born with blood?"
"Stupid women, stupid women!"
Qin Yuan was very angry.
It was a good start with a trump card, but she ruined it and the country was on the verge of collapse. The huge Zhou Dynasty seemed to be about to fall apart in the next second.
This ability to squander money is enough to make him eligible to be selected into the list of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, and compete with Bao Zong.
It's just that the poor empress's father-
Zhang Jiangling, the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou!
All the hard work was wasted.
Thinking back to the past.
Yan Aotian, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was critically ill and had no sons, leaving behind only a young daughter.
At this time, the princes who had the right of inheritance were naturally ready to move.
The political situation of the Great Zhou is in danger.
Zhang Jiangling was appointed as the prime minister in a time of crisis. He immediately turned the tide and saved the country from collapse.
Less than three years.
The originally ambitious princes were tormented by Zhang Jiangling like dogs that had lost their homes. They were in a state of panic all day long, and they lived with their tails between their legs, not daring to breathe for fear of losing their lives.
The court, which was originally manipulated by the aristocratic families and was on the verge of falling apart, was completely renewed. Zhang Jiangling was in power and there was no longer any discordant voice.
The local prefectures and counties that were originally disloyal and hypocritical no longer dared to disobey the central government.
After that, the national strength of the Great Zhou became increasingly prosperous.
Perhaps he was paralyzed by power.
Zhang Jiangling, who was originally humble and frugal, became more and more brutal, arrogant and domineering, and even did not take the empress Yan Jiaoran seriously.
No one in the court or the country would tolerate any voice of disobedience, otherwise his entire family would be exterminated.
As a result, the noble families and princes of the world have suffered from Zhang Jiangling for a long time!
Unfortunately, no one dared to resist.
Because all the rebels died, no one was spared.
The empress lay dormant for several years, formed alliances with various forces, and suddenly launched an attack, overthrowing Zhang Jiangling's tyranny in one fell swoop.
All the officials from aristocratic families and princes applauded.
The empress's prestige was unparalleled at the time.
However.
This stupid woman, after defeating Zhang Jiangling, became like a salted fish that had lost its dream and the direction of its efforts.
He was obsessed with cultivating immortals all day long and couldn't extricate himself.
In less than three years, the Great Zhou was defeated and reduced to its current state.
If Zhang Jiangling knew about this, he would probably burst out crying out,
"This is outrageous! Help me up!"
…
Qin Yuan was very sad about these past events.
Since this female emperor is totally useless.
Qin Yuan naturally had no intention of devoting himself to the cause.
As for starting from scratch and working hard to start his own business, he has no interest in that.
Working hard every day to deal with state affairs, getting up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs, isn’t this kind of life tiring!
It’s better to just lie down, enjoy life, and chat with girls every day about life.
Isn’t it great to have a wife, children and a warm bed?
So.
Qin Yuan enrolled in a world-renowned academy, found a father-in-law respected by the world, married a wife with bright eyes and a beautiful face, and became the top scorer in the imperial examination, becoming famous all over the world.
From now on, no matter who becomes emperor, won’t he have to give him some face because of his status and background?
Everyone is happy, it’s perfect.
At this time, he should have been a quiet spectator, watching the world's affairs and giving advice to the heroes of the world.
As a result, I was cheated by this stupid woman.
I really don't know what the hatred or grudge is. There are so many scapegoats in the court of the Great Zhou, but they have to find a small and unknown person like him.
"well……"
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
When I get back, I have to choreograph a new play with my wife:
"The number one scholar mistakenly entered the throne room with a gun, and the tyrant queen engaged in a bloody battle naked in the imperial study."
Otherwise, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart.
