The entire imperial city was filled with a serious atmosphere. The defense force in the palace increased several times. The auras of many powerful men burst out from all directions. Even the patrol team was replaced by elites headed by the Immortal Realm.
Not only that, but even the court meeting time was advanced as a result.
Officials were walking on the royal road, and they didn't even bother to communicate with each other. Everyone had a serious expression on their face. When they met a familiar colleague, they just nodded to say hello.
After a while, all the officials gathered in front of the main hall. Looking at the 'Mu Jing' who was already sitting on the imperial chair, the officials couldn't help but panic, and they all said that they had seen His Majesty.
"Forget it."
Huang Xuan, who was still pretending to be Mu Jing, maintained her dignity and said in a deep voice: "You should have heard about what happened at the border. Do you have any good countermeasures?"
While speaking, Huang Xuan's eyes flashed with thoughts.
She thought something was odd.
Even if the Jitian Demon Kingdom has consumed the power of the abyss, there are still three kings stationed at the border. How could it be breached so quickly
In her opinion, with the current strength of the Jitian Demon Kingdom and the ability of her 'mother queen', it is only a matter of time before she can capture the border wall of the Devouring Heaven Holy Kingdom. But this time, it shouldn't be so fast.
The power of the abyss has only been consumed for more than half a month. This tug-of-war should last for several months. Even without Lin Wangbei, the three kings are definitely not useless people. They cannot let the border city wall fall so easily. was breached.
There must be something weird in this, or even a force that I don't know about.
Thinking of this, Huang Xuan's heart sank. She looked at all the officials calmly and asked, "The border has been broken. Do you still have any hesitation?"
"Reply to His Majesty."
A military attaché stood up and said, "I think this matter needs to be resolved by Marshal Lin."
"I second the proposal."
Another military attaché stood up to speak out for Lin Wangbei.
They had kept silent about Lin Wangbei's matter before, mainly because the Holy Kingdom handled it too "violently and resolutely". The undercurrent hidden behind this made many officials who were close to Lin Wangbei feel frightened.
However, the more important thing is that the current situation in the Tiantian Holy Kingdom is not so dangerous that it is necessary to pardon the 'sinner' Lin Wangbei again.
So those military attaches who stood on Lin Wangbei's side were waiting for the opportunity.
Now, the opportunity has finally come.
"Lin Wangbei is a criminal. He has connections with foreign countries. His crime is unforgivable. Even if the situation is critical now, we can't find such a traitor to come back and lead the army!"
A civil servant stood up to oppose this proposal. At the same time, he looked at the military attachés who spoke for Lin Wangbei and scolded: "I know that you are on good terms with Lin Wangbei and have a good personal relationship with him on weekdays. But this is a state matter and cannot be abandoned for personal reasons. male!"
"What do you mean?"
The military attaché who was the first to stand up suddenly became unhappy, "You mean, I ignored national affairs for the sake of Marshal Lin?"
"Your Majesty will decide the right and wrong."
The civil servant snorted coldly: "It is a fact that Lin Wangbei has connections with foreign countries. You still want him to come back to solve this matter. You know what you are thinking!"
"How much contribution has Marshal Lin made to the Holy Kingdom? His military achievements are so great that he can't even compare with the three kings. How dare you question him? Who do you think you are?"
Another military attaché stood up and stared at him coldly.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the court became more and more solemn, Old Prime Minister Zhang, who had always seemed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "My lords, what is going on? A good court meeting is not a place for quarreling."
"Old Prime Minister, what do you think about this matter?"
An official looked at Old Prime Minister Zhang, as if he wanted him to comment.
Old Prime Minister Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "As old as I am, I am able to stand here only because of His Majesty's grace. Don't try to embarrass me."
With that said, he stood up half a step, bowed to Huang Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision."
Huang Xuan, who was sitting on the imperial chair, narrowed her eyes and looked at the 'treacherous and slippery' old prime minister. She was still thinking about how to deal with the matter, but she said lightly: "It is not good for the three kings to guard the pass. They try their best to prevent the army from entering, otherwise they will not have to come back."
This is punishment, but it also gives the three kings a chance to redeem themselves.
Baiguan nodded secretly, feeling that this was the safest solution.
But Huang Xuan's next words made them explode.
"Send an order to King Yan to be ready to support the border at any time. We must not allow the Jitian Demon Kingdom to push the location of the decisive battle into the territory of the Holy Kingdom. No matter what the cost, we must reduce the losses on the border."
"Your Majesty, no!"
Officials who were friendly with King Yan immediately stood up and said, "His Royal Highness, King Yan, has no cultivation now. I'm afraid he won't be able to take on this important task!"
"I also feel that King Yan cannot be allowed to take on this important responsibility!"
In addition to officials who were on good terms with King Yan, those who had issues with King Yan, and even officials from King Yun's lineage, also came forward.
However, they obviously did not want to speak for King Yan, but to push forward this matter.
There are many people in the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom who want to see Mu Hongxiu suffer misfortune. If Mu Hongxiu takes over such an important task and fails to complete it in the end, then she will be really unlucky.
Just one sentence caused the undercurrent to rise again in the court.
While Huang Xuan was amused, she also felt a little helpless.
Although she was too lazy to care about the survival of the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian, but to be honest, she did not want the people who plotted against her to succeed, so even if she did not care about the life and death of the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian, Huang Xuan still felt that it was important to help the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian at this moment. Solving the problem may cause trouble for those behind the scenes.
At the very least, he can let his 'good mother' know what it feels like to have his plans ruined.
"In this case, you and I will each use our own strength and have a good fight, Queen Mother."
Huang Xuan sneered in her heart, with a calm expression on her face, and said calmly: "The King of Yan is sitting in Yanzhou, and he is in charge of Qingzhou and Bazhou at the same time, which is enough to support the four sides. At this time, we only need to send troops to Yanzhou for King Yan to drive, and the border passes The chaos may be alleviated.”
"What do you think, Prime Minister Zhang?" At this point, Huang Xuan looked at Old Prime Minister Zhang, as if asking the old man's opinion.
In fact, this is a signal.
Send a signal to those behind her who know her true identity.
This matter is not because I am trying to harm King Yan, but because I am really thinking about your Devouring Heaven Holy Kingdom.
Old Prime Minister Zhang was also a veteran of three dynasties. Huang Xuan was not sure whether she knew her identity, but he must have some guesses.
Moreover, Liang Yuan was standing with His Highness. These words were not only meant for Prime Minister Zhang Laocheng to hear, but more importantly, they were meant for Liang Yuan to convey to Mu Ningqiu and Lu Li.
Liang Yuan looked at his nose and heart, as if he didn't hear anything.
But Old Prime Minister Zhang smiled and said: "What your Majesty said is reasonable. Your Highness, King Yan, is in charge of the three states, which is enough to support the four parties. If she is allowed to handle this matter, I will naturally feel at ease."
"But His Highness King Yan's cultivation level..."
The official who had previously dissuaded him did not expect that Old Prime Minister Zhang would actually agree to this matter, and was a little unwilling to do so.
However, Old Prime Minister Zhang glanced at him indifferently and asked: "If Lin Wangbei is not a top master, do you think he can't lead troops in war?"
This question immediately silenced all the officials in the court.
yes.
Lin Wangbei was able to sit in the position of marshal of the country not because of his personal bravery.
Although the top masters are powerful, there are also many top masters in the world. If you look at the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven, you can find several of them. Why was only Lin Wangbei able to become the marshal of the country and leave a great reputation
That's because he has a compelling flair for war.
As for Mu Hongxiu, although she has not shown such talent, no one dares to say that Mu Hongxiu is a useless person without her martial arts training.
There was a brief silence in the hall.
Finally, Huang Xuan looked at everyone and said calmly: "No one objects, so the matter is settled."
"Your Majesty is wise."
After hearing this, all the officials knew that there was no way to change this matter, so they made a promise.
But this matter weighed on everyone's mind like a huge boulder.
The atmosphere in the entire court was very solemn and there was no relief at all.
Huang Xuan discussed a few more affairs with everyone, and then quietly announced her resignation.
Although nothing has been solved, her role now is just like this. It is mainly to stabilize the situation. It is not her turn to issue the orders that really involve the core.
Thinking of this, Huang Xuan's lips curled up, knowing that she would have to 'fight' with that guy again.
