Chapter 208 Well, why does she want to seize the throne?
The ranks of Song Junzhan and other children from poor families are getting stronger and stronger. Various talented civil servants and generals are discovered, and children from down-and-out aristocratic families are reactivated.
Although the official position has not been completely determined, a new and vibrant institutional system is gradually taking shape.
Ten days later, the court reopened.
Xiao Li stood on Danbi in a golden dragon robe. Downward was the royal road carved with dragons, flowing clouds and waves. Under the steps, there were hundreds of officials, all with young faces, without a trace of dejection. and old.
The civil servants are full of energy and the military officers are powerful and high-spirited.
"I bow to Your Majesty the Empress. Long live, long live, long live Your Majesty!"
The voice was loud and resounding, reverberating throughout the heaven and earth, and the reverberations lingered endlessly.
After three calls, it was confirmed that the empress dynasty had truly arrived.
Xiao Li raised his hand: "Everyone is safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lou Xiang held the imperial edict in his hand, slowly unfolded it, and read out the announcement of his accession to the throne.
The content was written by Song Junzhan and others. It first talks about the country's past problems, then talks about the previous chaotic situation, then talks about how the new emperor controlled the situation, stepped forward to ascend the throne, and finally looks to the future and elaborates on the new emperor's governance philosophy. and statecraft.
After the reading, officials were appointed on the spot.
The first-rank ministers and ministers of various ministries are temporarily vacant. The first ones to be appointed are the ministers of the six ministries. There are two ministers in each ministry to temporarily take over the position of minister.
Officials of the fourth rank and above are appointed by imperial edict, and those below the fourth rank are appointed by documents.
The same goes for military commanders.
After calling the officials, everyone should stand according to their positions.
Xiao Li first entered the Jinluan Hall and sat on the dragon throne, while the officials entered to worship.
Among all the officials, one person was very special. Song Junzhan did not appear in the imperial edict and was not appointed, but he still commanded all civil officials and stood in the front row with Yang Jun and Rong Qing.
He is an uncrowned prime minister, and the fact that he can stand here proves that the empress still values him, but there must be other arrangements.
“Report!”
A battle report broke up the court meeting.
Frontline battle report, the Yue Kingdom occupied Yanping Prefecture, burned, killed, looted, and massacred many people. Now they have captured Shaanxi Prefecture and Taiping City on the left and right.
Xiao Li: "I remember that a military general went there before."
It was more than ten days ago that the Yue Kingdom attacked Yanping Prefecture. At that time, the emperor was in a coma and the court was in chaos. King Yanping did not want to go back, so he finally discussed and decided that the Ministry of War ordered the deployment of troops from surrounding areas to support Yanping.
Yang Jun stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the soldiers dispatched previously were soldiers from Shaanzhou and Taiping City, but no battle reports have been sent in these days."
Xiao Li: "Bring the messenger up."
The messenger is a man in his twenties, with dark skin and a slim figure. He looks very weak from running around for a long time.
He already knew that the country had a new emperor, and it was still a woman. Although he was shocked, he couldn't care less.
"Kowtow to Your Majesty."
Xiao Li: "Tell me about the battle."
The messenger said: "Your Majesty, the first place Yue State attacked was Yanping Prefecture. They captured Yanping Prefecture later burned, killed and looted inside. Ten days ago, an order was sent to the Central Government to ask Shaan Prefecture and Taiping City for support, but both sides could not hold out. Four days later, the Vietnamese army divided into two groups and attacked the two cities at the same time. Chi, Shaanzhou was breached in less than a day. General Yuan Zhao, the defender of Taiping City, led his troops to defend. In three days, there were countless casualties, until General Yuan died and the city was broken."
"Yue. The national vanguard has 50,000 elite cavalry, 40,000 heavy armor, and a total of 150,000 infantry."
After hearing this, Xiao Li sighed in his heart, this is the difference between a country and a company.
It is very simple for a company to seize power. As long as the shares and seals are in the hands of whoever owns them, the company belongs to them. They are all employees hired with money. Whoever pays them wages does not affect their work.
The company's rights and interests are protected by law and bound by rules, and the premise of all this is a strong country. But now she had the country in her hands, and no higher law to protect her interests.
She has just ascended the throne, and the only thing she can control is this imperial city, while other places may not recognize her as the empress' decree at all.
The political power is unstable, there are not enough manpower, and the decree is invalid. At this time, let her take care of the distant border.
It's really beyond our reach.
Everyone suggested that the empress's silver-armored army was powerful. If Rong Qing led the army and brought a weapon that could fire cannonballs, he would be able to defeat the country and flee.
All advices are inseparable from the silver-armored army and gunpowder.
It can be seen that they have great confidence in Xiao Li and really want to see the power of the cannonball again.
A young and passionate man, even a civil servant, will never be able to resist the temptation of guns and cannons.
But despite their heated discussion, the three people in front remained silent.
They are the ones who know the number and configuration of the Silver Armored Army best. They are the empress’ personal guards and must protect the empress’ safety and cannot leave.
The number of those artillery pieces is also limited, and their main function is to deter those who want to seize the throne.
These are the empress's amulets. It is impossible to drag them thousands of miles away to fight.
All reasons: The empress has just ascended the throne and is short of manpower.
The three of them knew the inside story, but they didn't speak out, so that this group of passionate people who worshiped the Empress would know that the Empress lacked firepower.
Xiao Li is thinking: "."
Well, why does she want to seize the throne?
It seems that in order to prevent the male protagonist from becoming the emperor and destroy the plot of the male and female protagonists, he stands at the highest point of the plot and kills each one.
Her purpose is to cause trouble, to kill the male and female protagonists, to break the sky, and to leave.
Now we have to go to war with other countries, fight, govern the country, and worry that our firepower is not enough to frighten the world.
Suddenly the enemies changed from male and female protagonists to the whole world.
Hmm. That’s sloppy.
But it doesn’t matter, since she dares to sit in this position, she can solve these problems.
After the dynasty dispersed, Xiao Li went to the place where everyone was imprisoned.
The three cages were not far apart, with about three feet in between, so they could see each other and hear each other, but they had to speak loudly.
At first everyone scolded Xiao Li, and a group of people scolded him very enthusiastically.
Now ten days have passed. I am eating steamed buns and plain water. The weather is still hot and I am barely hanging on. I have cursed enough and I have no energy left.
Everyone is worse off than dead, and has no love in life.
The appearance of Xiao Li instantly activated this stagnant water, especially seeing her wearing a dragon robe, it was not too nerve-wracking.
"Chicken Si Chen, a woman is the emperor, God is going to destroy our Longsheng Kingdom"
"Pfft!"
The man's shouting voice has not dissipated, and he passed by with one knife. Instantly became a corpse.
Lou Xiang took out the knife and handed it to the guard slowly. He looked at the people in the cage with evil eyes: "The empress has ascended the throne and the court has been re-established. Anyone who does not surrender will be regarded as a traitor and will be killed." "Pardon!"
Xiao Li walked towards the place where the three princes were imprisoned. The silver-armored guards surrounded the other two cages. Everyone drew their swords and killed anyone who dared to say anything contrary.
Xiao Li looked at the mess in his hands: This is different from what I thought.
I didn’t eat breakfast and ate a piece of sugar cane, which ruined my stomach. It’s been three days and I lost three pounds. I didn’t know whether to be miserable or happy for a while.
