Lou Yan suffered for the entire afternoon. As the sky grew darker, he almost thought that the empress would stay in the Prime Minister's Residence tonight.
I regret beating up Song Junzhan so much that my intestines are turning green.
If time could go back, he would have wished Song Junzhan had stabbed him with a sword yesterday.
However, there is no medicine for regret in the world, time cannot be reversed, and he can only continue to suffer.
Just when he thought everything was settled, the empress returned to the palace.
The moment he saw the empress appear, Lou Yan seemed to hear the sound of his solidified blood flowing again.
"His Majesty......"
He thought she would really stay, and if that were the case, he would be a complete joke.
He will definitely, definitely kill Song Junzhan...
Xiao Li didn't even look at him, but just grabbed his collar and pulled him in as he passed by.
Lou Yan's expression changed from loss to surprise, and finally to complete softening.
No matter how ferocious a wolf is, when facing its lover, it will only expose its soft belly and allow the other to take advantage of it, unable to resist at all.
Bad news: The Prime Minister is ill.
Good news: The empress is finally in charge of government affairs.
However, within two days, the court officials realized that they were too naive.
The empress was a good monarch, and it was a good thing that she could manage the government, but she was definitely their nightmare.
Strict, ruthless, meticulous and merciless.
The empress is very creative. If she doesn’t like something, she will change it!
If you don’t like something, change it!
If you think something needs to be added, change it!
It’s not that her changes were wrong. To be precise, the things the empress could change were indeed more streamlined and practical than what they used. They could also learn from them, and many of the additions were also beneficial to them.
However, some of the knowledge that the Empress added was completely new to everyone.
The empress also required that things be learned quickly, understood quickly, and applied quickly.
As a result, these court officials who thought they were somewhat capable were like young fools, having to learn everything from scratch, and their eyes were dark after dark.
If they don't understand, the empress will teach them, but she doesn't smile when she teaches. Occasionally, she will glance at them, and at that moment they will feel stupid and ashamed.
Everyone instantly returned to the nightmare of being stared at by the teacher.
No...the empress is a hundred times more terrifying than the teacher.
No one can walk out with a smile after seeing the empress.
I doubt myself, I doubt life, and I miss the Prime Minister.
Some things are so good that you only know how good they are after you lose them, like the prime minister.
In the past, the prime minister was in the front line. When the empress had new ideas or new things, they only understood half of them. If they didn’t understand, they would go and ask the prime minister.
If the Prime Minister doesn’t understand, go ask the Empress and tell them when you come back.
Although Prime Minister Song was majestic, he was also gentle. As long as they completed their work conscientiously, they would not be scolded. If they occasionally did not understand, the Prime Minister would be very patient.
But the Empress... I can't say she's impatient, but she's so impatient that if you ask her twice and she doesn't get annoyed, you'll start to think you're really stupid.
Wuuuuu...Please, Prime Minister, come back quickly.
There was wailing in the court, and the gifts in the Prime Minister's Mansion were almost piled up into a mountain.
Some people even went to the temple to ask for talismans, praying for Prime Minister Song to recover soon and live a long life.
They really can't do without Prime Minister Song.
Hearing their requests, Song Junzhan was a little amused.
Although Your Majesty's methods are decisive, they are not that scary.
Everyone in the court: You dare to covet His Majesty, so of course you don’t think His Majesty is scary.
Isn't Your Majesty good? Isn't Your Majesty beautiful?
She ruled the world and was the first female emperor in history. She was extremely beautiful and charming.
But look at this court, how many of you dare to harbor feelings for Your Majesty? How many dare to kiss your majesty?
Lust is vulnerable in the face of awe.
After resting for five days, Song Junzhan returned to the court. The ministers lined the streets to welcome him. Their enthusiasm was as if they were looking at a savior who had fallen from the sky.
Xiao Li frowned: "The imperial physician said you need to rest for at least ten days. What are you doing here?"
Of course, Song Junzhan couldn't say that he came to rescue these poor ministers.
"Your Majesty has issued these new decrees, and I don't understand them either, so I need to learn. My health is fine now, so Your Majesty, please allow me to listen in on the sidelines. It won't be tiring."
Xiao Li thought about it and agreed.
I don’t know if it’s because they have the support of their savior, but they didn’t seem so scared when they came to see the empress again.
The empress remained as cold as ever, and spoke to the prime minister in the same tone, but every time at a critical moment, the prime minister would always interject and say that he didn't understand this or that.
They listened to the empress explain to the prime minister, and then they understood.
Looking up again at the prime minister who was standing very close to the empress, they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
They all left tactfully, not making any noise to disturb the two of them.
Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister. The future of our civil officials depends on you.
I pray that the Prime Minister will ascend the throne as soon as possible and give birth to eight children!
The ministers walked like thieves, unaware that they were all seen by the two men.
Song Junzhan couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty's majesty is so majestic and solemn that it frightened them."
Xiao Li really didn't want to say anything. She didn't even yell at him, so why was he so afraid of her?
Little did she know that she didn't need to yell or scold at all. Since she had fought her way up, the court officials' filter for her was thicker than the city wall.
Cold-blooded, brutal, and ruthless, she kills without blinking an eye. It's not that the empress has no merits, but her terrifying qualities are definitely more memorable than her merits, especially when she has a cold face, she is awe-inspiring without even being angry.
In short, I am filled with deep awe.
Song Junzhan certainly respected the empress, but he felt more respect and almost no fear.
They were afraid because they felt their lives were threatened, but Song Junzhan had already handed his life over to the empress, so he was not afraid of death and had nothing to be afraid of.
On the twentieth day after Xiao Li woke up, a letter concerning King Wei was delivered to her.
The content made her doubt her eyes.
The King of Wei was kidnapped by bandits and then disappeared, his whereabouts unknown.
What’s even more bizarre is that the kidnappers turned out to be bandits from Tianhu Village in Kunyu County.
Xiao Li: “…”
You mean, a group of farmers from Tianhu Village, armed with two iron swords and a hatchet, risked their lives and kidnapped King Wei from the encirclement of 300 elite soldiers of the Silver Armor Army. What's even more amazing is that this group of bandits were caught, but King Wei disappeared.
If she hadn't seen Tianhu Village with her own eyes, she would have believed it.
Look, everyone in the court believed it.
They were filled with righteous indignation and demanded that troops be dispatched immediately to wipe out the bandits, rescue the King of Wei, and restore the majesty of heaven.
Xiao Li: ...a bunch of fools.
This is the consequence of underdeveloped communications and lack of information. All we can see are the superficial facts in the letters sent to us, and the real situation is unknown.
In the end, you can only foolishly jump into the pit dug by others.
Yuancheng, Tianhu Gang, King Wei, Xu Nianqing...
It’s started.
