The death of Ye Yuntian, the great enemy of the Zhou Kingdom, put the Black Blood Country at an absolute disadvantage in terms of high-end combat power, and the balance of the entire southern region was completely broken.
It is impossible for any ambitious Zhou emperor to miss this opportunity to settle in the Southern Territory.
Of course Zhou Lihua is no exception!
Her desire is stronger than that of ordinary emperors.
If you want to conquer the entire southern region, you cannot rely on the Zhou family alone, you must involve all the aristocratic families and sects in the entire Zhou state.
The first thing Zhou Guo had to deal with was, of course, the Black Blood Country whose national power was not inferior to Zhou Guo.
The success or failure of the battle against the Black Blood Country directly affects the overall situation of Zhou State's unification of the southern region, and in the entire Zhou State, Zhou Lihua has the most confidence in Xu Sheng!
If he could really defeat the Black Blood Country and lay a solid foundation for the Zhou Kingdom to unify the southern region, Zhou Lihua would definitely be willing to make Xu Sheng king and use him as a benchmark to attract more talents to serve the Zhou Kingdom.
Zhou Lihua reactivated Xu Sheng and prepared to attack the Black Blood Nation. The ministers of the entire court began to analyze the pros and cons of this war for the country, family, and sect forces, analyzing whether they should support or oppose it, whether they should participate in it, or just sit on the sidelines .
The results of the analysis clearly show that Ye Yuntian of the Black Blood Country is dead, and the Blood Fiend Sword has fallen into the hands of Emperor Zhou. With the addition of the Shangguo Yuxi and the Scarlet Blood Sword, Zhou has an absolute advantage in high-end combat power!
As for the Black Blood Nation, since the battle of Nanyun Nation, half of the entire Black Dragon Legion has been wiped out... In addition, Xu Guogong personally leads the army, and they have no chance of winning the Zhou Kingdom!
They are also eager for the benefits brought about by the victory of the war!
Zhou Lihua looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you think of launching a war against the Black Blood Country?"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"..."
"That's good!" Zhou Lihua looked at Xu Sheng who was kneeling in front of her and said, "Mr. Xu, I will entrust you with the war against the Black Blood Country this time. If you can really destroy the Black Blood Country, I promise to seal you as a king!"
The whole hall suddenly erupted!
They stared at the queen sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, and they suspected that their ears were hallucinating!
Even Xu Sheng raised his head and looked at Zhou Lihua.
Zhou Lihua knew that they would have this kind of expression. Zhou Guo hadn't granted a king with a different surname for hundreds of years.
"In this war, I will not be stingy with rewarding those who perform outstandingly!"
The eyes of many courtiers were red.
The generals in the army were overjoyed, and the civil servants with good martial arts skills were all considering whether to apply to join the army...
"There is one more thing that you need to discuss!" After the courtiers calmed down, Zhou Lihua said slowly again, "I have decided to take back the power of all counties to execute prisoners at the innate level and above, that is to say, If there are prisoners above the congenital level who need to be executed in Zhou State, and the localities have no power to execute them, these prisoners need to be sent to the capital for execution... Do you have any opinions?"
Prime Minister Qin Zhensheng asked: "Your Majesty, this matter involves the escort of prisoners along the way. I would like to ask, what is your majesty's move?"
"Half a month ago, Yuan Pengzheng, the lord of Lishuo City in Jiashao County, was killed. Did all the ministers here know?"
Qin Zhensheng replied: "I know, but hasn't the murderer Ye Bing been caught?"
"But do you know Ye Bing's real identity?" Zhou Lihua asked pointedly.
"Your Majesty, please speak clearly!"
"Actually, Ye Bing's real name is not Ye Bing, but his real name is Dong Wu. One was in a bad mood two years ago because he lost a martial arts competition. He slaughtered 360 people in a village. The other was killed by Jiashao County. The sheriff is an innate expert in imposing the death penalty!"
"Crack!" Zhou Lihua slapped the dragon chair fiercely with one hand, scaring countless ministers with fear!
Zhou Lihua has been on the throne for nearly 30 years, and few people have seen her get so angry!
She stared at the ministers below with cold eyes and asked: "But what's the result? The person was executed and reported for the record, but what was the result? Two years later, he came back to life and killed a city lord." ... Tell me, why is this all?"
These courtiers standing in the main hall, in fact, more or less in their families, have taken in some capable masters who got into trouble and sought refuge from them.
However, if the nature is too bad, of course they dare not take it in.
Most of them have guessed Dong Wu's situation.
Innate masters are extremely valuable in the eyes of all major forces. The innate-level death row prisoners captured by the Zhou State official also have value. Some forces will first contact these death row prisoners. If these death row prisoners are willing to work for them, they may use some Unlawful means, these death row prisoners were outsourced...
In the entire southern region, the laws of the major countries are rather peculiar. They don't care about fighting between warriors, fighting between sects, families, and gangs. As long as no one reports, they won't care, even if If they report it, they will be perfunctory, but the officials can hardly tolerate any officials who involve warriors massacring civilians and endangering the country!
"I received a secret report from the Tianjian Supervisor. In various counties, there are many innately powerful prisoners who committed the death penalty. Some unruly forces secretly bribed the prison guards or county guards to outsource them. I will never allow such a situation to continue to happen!" Zhou Lihua said sternly, "The gathering of these ex-convicted masters around those forces will inevitably cause great hidden dangers to the stability of the entire country, so I will execute those who are above the level of innate masters. What do you think, Prime Minister, if you take back all the power?"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"..."
It was related to the laws of the state of Zhou, and no one dared to disobey Zhou Lihua's orders in this regard.
After the early dynasty, Zhou Lihua asked Jiang Qinyu to start expanding the Tianjian, and began to prepare for the Zhou Kingdom's war!
"If possible, I want to unify the entire southern region!"
Regarding her confidant, Zhou Lihua did not hold back, and directly expressed her ambition.
"Understood, Your Majesty, the servants will definitely help His Majesty with all their strength!"
War, the war Chen Hao is most interested in, to be honest, he really wants Zhou Lihua to get involved.
In the entire Southern Region, the Zhou Kingdom and the Black Blood Kingdom are the strongest. If there is a war between the two countries, the scale of the war will be unprecedented!
Two countries, a life-and-death battle, the death of millions of troops is not too much!
After Jiang Qinyu left, Zhou Lihua thought for a while, and ordered someone to bring some precious sword-making materials from the treasury, and then she saw with her own eyes how the Scarlet Blood Sword devoured those sword-making materials.
"enough?"
Chen Hao sighed and said, "It's not enough to fit between the teeth, why don't you take me to the treasure house?"
Zhou Lihua hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
