"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. It's not polite!”
“......”
The head palace maid and a few other palace maids hurriedly supported the empress and tried to persuade her.
Even though they admired Ye Qing very much, as the empress's palace maid, they had to think for the empress at all times.
Not only would the descent of an emperor damage the dragon's might, but it was also very dangerous to descend this slope in such a grand ceremonial suit that made it inconvenient for one to move.
If they were careless, they would not be falling off the ladder, but rolling off it.
"Get out of the way!"
" It's worth it. Everything he did was worth it!"
The empress's voice was trembling with excitement. At the same time, she waved her arms backward fiercely. The two palace maids who wanted to stop her almost fell backward.
At the same time, in everyone's eyes!
Wu Zetian grabbed the 33-foot-long cloak, which was 9.9 meters long, and swung her jade-like arms backward.
The moment she took small steps down the stairs, a strong wind blew.
Hualala!
Her cloak was like a flag fluttering in the wind, fluttering backward like waves.
At this moment, everyone saw the embroidery on the cloak clearly.
On the golden cape were nine soaring fire dragons!
Finally, the cloak dragged on the ground!
As the empress walked, her cloak fluttered on the stairs. Under the effect of the stairs, the nine dragons danced lifelike.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yaojin and Su Lie instantly burst into tears.
"Look!"
"Brother Su, His Majesty has personally led the Nine Dragon Carriage to welcome Brother Ye.”
Su Lie's white eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He pursed his lips and nodded. He was gratified and touched.
"Brother Ye, you're right."
"Back then, on the way back from Goguryeo, you told us not to rebel and not to let our own people fight our own people. Let's see what she'll say.”
"You did the right thing!"
"I'm impressed by the Empress's character."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them made a move almost at the same time.
They were still standing, but the dragon-headed crutches in their right hands were lowered!
When the Head of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, Grand Prime Minister Shangguan Wan 'er, saw this, she also raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
Then, she folded her hands in front of her and bowed 90 degrees with her thumbs up.
This heavy Han family bow was a tribute to the role model in her heart, the empress!
At the same time, it was also to pay tribute to this old general who had made many contributions!
Almost at the same time, the other prime minister, Di Renjie, also bowed.
Finally, all the civil officials and generals bowed.
It was a tribute to this young and beautiful empress who looked cold and heartless but knew how to repay kindness!
It was also to pay tribute to this old general who had just turned 60 and had treated himself as a servant all his life!
At this moment, under the warm sun!
On the resting platform in the middle of the ninety-nine steps, the empress stopped and the old general stood up with all his might.
Ye Qing slowly raised his head and looked at the empress, who was only a step away from him.
They had known each other for thirteen years, but they hadn't seen each other for three years.
This was the first time he had seen the empress so closely after ten years of being the ruler and minister.
If one relied on beauty to make a living, it was enough to make many men forget about their wives!
However, she relied on her strength and methods to become the emperor!
Ten years after becoming emperor, he had relied on his strength and methods to weaken the power of the five surnames and seven Wangs, allowing the imperial examination system to be truly implemented and even setting up the martial arts examination.
At the same time, the construction of military, agricultural, industrial, and commercial industries did not fall behind.
In ten years, as promised, her achievements had surpassed Emperor Taizong's.
Cough cough!
After coughing lightly, Ye Qing heaved a sigh of relief.
He said weakly," Your Majesty will keep his promise of ten years. Although she is a woman, she still values the promise of a gentleman.”
"Please accept my bow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his trembling hands and prepared to bow to the Han family.
Upon seeing this, the empress's eyes sparkled.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
A smile appeared on her lips.
At this moment, she was extremely excited. Even the dragon robe could not control her excited heart.
Thirteen years ago, she had witnessed with her own eyes that her life was like an ant under the might of a dragon.
At that time, she was scared silly.
Even a general like Ye Qing, who had outstanding military achievements and whose mount could live and eat with the Emperor's mount, had to speak to the Emperor in a pleading tone to save her life.
At that time, she had an idea.
She wanted to be the emperor, and she wanted to protect her savior.
Three years later, she became the emperor.
However, Ye Qing had never bowed before. He was like a rare guest in court.
Not only that, he even said something like 'rebellion is effortless' during their first meeting.
Driven by her competitive spirit, which was even stronger than men, she dreamed of making this stalwart man submit to her once. Once was enough.
However, she had worked hard for ten years to submit to him!
Now, she had done it.
How could he not be happy and excited?
But now, she didn't want Ye Qing to bow to her.
These ten years, Ye Qing's achievements were truly too great.
It was like a family. She worked hard at home while this man went through hardships outside, making the family's status soar.
And this family status was exchanged for a body full of injuries.
She, Wu Zetian, had been ruthless for ten years, but she was still human!
She felt that she couldn't accept this bow. She couldn't bear to accept this bow. She didn't want to accept this bow anymore.
Just as Ye Qing was about to bow, a pair of fair hands held his arms.
The Great General Ye, who was on the verge of death, was no match for the powerless empress!
He could not complete this bow.
Drip! Drip!
A drop of crystal-clear tear fell on the back of Ye Qing's hand.
"The ten-year agreement, my dear minister, is a promise!”
"Today, the number of merchants coming to our Great Tang to do business has increased year by year, and all of them are smiling and praising our Great Tang.”
"My dear old minister, your words and deeds are the same. You didn't disappoint me and the world. You are truly a great hero!”
"This one has specially granted my beloved minister the privilege of never worshipping a king!”
Haha!
Ye Qing smiled, a gratified smile.
It was worth it!
This life was worth it!
He was finally like Wei Qing!
Cough cough!
Cough, cough, cough!
Suddenly, his heart beat faster and he felt unusually uncomfortable. It was really difficult to breathe.
Then, everything went black and he lost consciousness.
"My dear minister, wake up!"
"My dear minister, wake up!"
" Ye Qing!"
