I thought the emperor was just trying to scare them with those 224 heads because he'd just taken office, but at heart he was still the gentle prince. But now everyone has confirmed once again that he's an absolute tyrant. And a tyrant who has the final say!
Not only brutal, but also domineering!
The official knelt on the ground, his frail body trembling. Qian Yeming didn't ask him to get up, nor did he tell him not to get up, so he could only kneel in the center, for everyone to see.
"I have another happy announcement today."
Ignoring the court official, Qian Yeming withdrew his breath, and the temperature of the entire hall instantly warmed up.
"After extensive investigation, the queen's identity has been confirmed. She is indeed the little princess lost in the Northern Wei Dynasty sixteen years ago.
Because the Northern Wei Dynasty suffered a disaster at that time, the villagers who adopted the queen had their village destroyed and became refugees. They then traveled thousands of miles and tried to hide in Nanyue, but were discovered by the traitor Murong Qingyu, who kept the queen in a secret room and trained her to be a killer.
In order to seize the throne, Murong Qingyu married the Queen to me, intending to have the Queen kill me after the previous emperor's death so that he could take the throne. However, I and the Queen already knew each other and were in love, so the Queen and I used the same trick to expose his plot.
Now the identity of the queen has been confirmed by Emperor Chongyang of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Prince Gan and Prince Yong, so from today on, the queen will no longer be called Murong Xiao, but will be renamed Baili Xiao.
After Nanyue is stabilized, I will accompany the Queen to the Northern Wei to participate in the ancestral recognition ceremony."
"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor. Congratulations to the Empress, congratulations to the Empress!"
Qian Yeming was very happy to be congratulated by all the ministers. He was happy as long as it was something that flattered his wife.
"Yeah." Qian Yeming nodded in a good mood: "Let's withdraw from the court!"
"Express delivery from the front line, eight hundred miles away—"
Just as he was about to leave the court, the eunuch's announcement was heard outside the hall.
"Pass it!"
A dusty soldier ran up panting, rushed into the hall and knelt down inside.
"Your Majesty, General Pei... General Pei is surrounded by Dongxiang's million-strong army!"
"What?"
Qian Yeming was furious and the court officials were shocked.
"How could a million-strong army suddenly surround General Pei? Didn't they say that Dongxiang only sent out 100,000 troops?"
Faced with the emperor's wrath, the already exhausted soldiers were even more shaky. Their kneeling bodies began to stagger.
"Quick, bring him a chair to sit on and serve him some tea." Seeing that the soldier was almost exhausted and his dry lips were turning white, Qian Yeming immediately ordered a stool to be brought to the soldier.
The court officials on both sides were shocked, but no one dared to speak out in opposition.
A soldier, the lowest-ranking soldier. In this court, even a fanning maid held a much higher status than him. However, in this palace, no one, civil or military, was qualified to sit and talk with the emperor. Yet, the emperor had a stool brought in for this soldier to sit on.
The soldier had never enjoyed such treatment before. Sitting on the chair actually felt more tired than kneeling on the ground. Fortunately, the palace servant immediately brought him a cup of tea. After gulping down two sips, he felt a little more energetic.
"Your Majesty, General Pei has asked me to bring a message to you."
"explain!"
"General Pei said that Dongfang Ming went to war with South Vietnam like a madman just for revenge."
"revenge?
