Chang 'an, the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.
At this moment.
In the main hall, Empress Lu Zhi, Crown Prince Liu Ying, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Cao Can, Guan Ying, Li Shang, Xi Juan, and the other civil and military officials were all present.
In fact.
Ever since Liu Bang was trapped on Mount Bai, the Great Han Dynasty was in chaos.
The Han Dynasty had always been harassed by the Xiongnu.
Especially this generation's Xiongnu Maodun Chanyu, he was even more ambitious.
This time, he had led three to four hundred thousand Xiongnu troops to surround the Emperor on Mount Baishan, and there was also the rebel Han Wangxin's army as support. The situation was extremely critical!
Even Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and the others were frowning.
"Empress!"
"Now that His Majesty is surrounded by Mao Dun's 300,000-plus troops on Mount Bai, it's not good for His Majesty if we delay any longer. We have to come up with a countermeasure quickly!”
"That's right! This official heard that it was snowing heavily on Mount Bai. If we wait any longer,"
"This time, Han Wangxin and Mao Dun colluded with each other to rebel against the Han.”
"There are only a few men who can deal with Han Wangxin and Mao Dun. Why don't we just give the King of Chu, the King of Liang, and the King of Huainan an edict and let them lead troops to rescue the emperor!”
"That's right! The King of Chu was a god-like soldier. He would definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu.”
"I suggest that we mobilize the border troops."
Standing in the main hall, countless ministers submitted their reports and made plans.
From their mouths, the names of the three kings were widely mentioned.
King Chu Han Xin!
Liang King Peng Yue!
Huainan King Yingbu!
These three were the three famous generals of the Great Han Dynasty. They had outstanding military achievements and had won many battles. They were conferred the title of King of a different surname because of their military achievements. Moreover, they all held heavy troops. They were really glorious.
"Do these guys have brains?”
Prime Minister Xiao He shook his head.
What a joke!
He issued an edict to the King of Chu, the King of Liang, and the King of Huainan to save the Emperor?
Over the years, the imperial court had always been wary of these feudal lords, who controlled a large number of troops and divided their territories. They were afraid that they would rebel and had always been on guard against them.
The reason why the Emperor was trapped in Mount Bai was because of Han Wangxin's rebellion!
Sending these kings of different surnames to save the emperor?
Wouldn't this give them an excuse to mobilize their troops? At that time, it would be a lie to save the emperor, but it would be a real rebellion. What if Han Wangxin made a promise to divide the world equally?
"Alright!"
"All of you, calm down!"
Finally, on the throne of the Empress, Lu Zhi, who had been silent all this while, spoke.
Instantly!
The entire hall fell silent.
To a certain extent, these ministers were more afraid of the Empress than they were of the Emperor Liu Bang. Offending the Emperor did not mean death, but offending the Empress did.
Many of the officials were terrified at the thought of his methods.
"Humph!"
He snorted lightly.
Seeing that the hall was completely silent, Lu Zhi sneered in his heart.
In fact.
Over the years, although Lu Zhi was the Empress and the mother of the world, she was getting old and had been staying in Weiyang Palace, growing increasingly distant from Emperor Liu Bang.
However, Madam Qi relied on her youth and beauty to be favored by the Emperor.
Not only that, this slut was not satisfied. She cried day and night, repeatedly trying to persuade Liu Bang to change the Crown Prince.
"If His Majesty dies on Mount Baishan…"
Suddenly!
The moment she enjoyed this supreme power, this crazy thought suddenly appeared in Lu Zhi's mind, causing her old face to flush red.
She was the Empress!
Her son, Liu Ying, was the Crown Prince!
Her elder brothers, Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi, were marquises who held great power!
If the Emperor were to pass away, then Crown Prince Liu Ying would be able to ascend the throne in a justified manner. Even Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and the other important officials would have to kneel before the new Emperor.
In this way, what was there to be afraid of that slut, Madam Qi?
At the thought of this.
Lu Zhi's old eyes narrowed."
"Dear ministers!"
"Bengong knows that you are all loyal officials of the Great Han Dynasty, loyal to the Great Han Dynasty and His Majesty. Now that His Majesty is in danger, Bengong and the Crown Prince are also burning with anxiety.”
"Some of the ministers were right!"
"The longer His Majesty stays on the White Mountain, the more critical the situation becomes, so"
Just as Lu Zhi was about to issue the decree, a general in charge of guarding the palace gates ran into the hall with an excited expression and shouted loudly,
"Report!"
"Reporting to the Empress, His Majesty has sent someone back to deliver the imperial edict! His Majesty has sent someone back to deliver the decree!"
Boom!
As soon as he said that, the entire place erupted!
In the main hall, all the ministers, including Lu Zhi, felt their hearts clench as they stared at the imperial edict in the messenger's hand!
At this moment!
His Majesty the Emperor had sent back an imperial edict!
Was it to save the emperor?
Or a posthumous edict?
"I was careless and fell into the trap of the Xiongnu. I was trapped in Mount Bai. Among the princes, who can defeat the Xiongnu and welcome me back to the court? I intend to let him inherit the throne."
Silence!
It was very quiet!
Dead silence!
At this moment, the entire hall fell into silence. Even the sound of a pin dropping on the ground could be heard clearly. Everyone kept recalling the imperial edict!
This!
They had never thought that His Majesty would play such a trick.
Even on the throne, Lu Zhi could not help but scream,"His Majesty! How can it be so unfair!"
