The next morning.
In the morning court.
The empress looked a little tired.
"Dear ministers, the diplomatic mission from the Western Regions has arrived in the capital. What do you think is the purpose of our visit?”the empress said. She had received news last night that the Western Regions had come to visit!
"Your Majesty, let's meet first." Chief Wang said.
"Your Majesty, the Western Regions and the Great Desolation have never had any connection. Moreover, the distance between the two is quite far, so there is not much conflict of interest.”Some civil officials were worried.
The generals were also worried. This was also the trouble. Because there had been no conflict in the past, they had not been sufficiently prepared. If a country in the Western Regions suddenly attacked the Great Luo and had a conflict, it would be an extremely troublesome matter. When the time came, it would be chaotic and they would probably be unable to escape the capture of several cities.
At that time, there would be another war-torn place at the border, and the people would suffer again.
In the past, the two countries had established good diplomatic relations, but there had never been such a sudden visit.
Before this, the sudden appearance of such a situation usually meant that it was not a good thing. There might be a military disaster.
"The diplomatic corps, please." the empress said.
Mu Yu was also in the court, sitting among the officials. He was calm and quiet, with a low tone and no intention of showing himself.
He couldn't be bothered with these small matters.
Soon, the people from the Western Regions diplomatic mission arrived.
Mu Yu looked at these foreigners carefully. The people from the Western Regions were different from the grassland barbarians, who were not much different from the people from the Great Luo. On the other hand, these people from the Western Regions were like the Dothraki people who belonged to the Horse King in the movie " Game of Thrones " that Mu Yu had seen before. These people were all tall and strong, about two meters tall, and their eyes were extremely rough. However, compared to the Dothraki people in the movies, the people from the Western Regions were very civilized. They were all dressed and did not have their upper bodies naked.
Of course, it could also be because he was visiting a country and wore it.
A group of about thirty people were welcomed into the Imperial Court. The person leading them was a girl. However, this girl was tall and burly, and she was extremely rough. Her two eyebrows were vertical, and she was even more domineering than a man. She stood there like a small mountain.
"I am 'Little Qubu' of the Western Regions.”The leading girl from the Western Regions greeted him in a flat and weak language.
The empress asked,"What happened to the envoys who suddenly came to visit me?"”
"Your Majesty." "Nothing happened," said the girl from the Western Regions."It's just that our king asked us to bring a message to Your Majesty."”
"What words?" The empress frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, if you don't want our king to attack your Great Luo, you have to marry through marriage. Otherwise, our relationship with the Great Luo will be gone, and we will have to fight.”The girl from the Western Regions threatened His Majesty openly.
The empress felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her mind, and her small face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Did these bastards really come with ill intentions?
The entire court was silent for a moment.
Then, they saw the current Emperor's expression turn extremely ugly, and all of them felt a chill in their hearts.
"There is no gap between my fall and the Western Regions.”"Why did you suddenly receive such news?" the empress asked coldly. Is this a threat to me? He thought that the fall of the king was because he was afraid of Quhu Country.”
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the king is thinking.”After the Western Region girl finished speaking, she continued," However, our Great King said that if His Majesty agrees to our Great King's marriage proposal, everything can be discussed. Otherwise, our relationship with the Great Luo will be destroyed. If we really fight, we will have to."”
The empress's expression turned extremely ugly. After a while, she suppressed her anger and said coldly,"Leave."
The envoy retreated.
"Your Majesty, you can't start a war lightly.”The officials couldn't sit still.
The national treasury could support it now, but once the war broke out, the people at the border would suffer again. The most terrifying thing was that this was an unprepared war. The Great Luo did not prepare in advance, and the people at the border would definitely suffer at the beginning.
The empress raised her eyebrows and remained silent.
The courtiers could not sit still.
Looking at the furious Emperor, they spoke one by one.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. The war at the border can't be started easily."
"The Great Luo isn't afraid, but they aren't prepared either. Once the war starts, the people at the border will suffer a lot in the first few years.”One by one, the courtiers advised him to calm down.
"Minister Zhu, do you have any good methods?”The empress took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
Mu Yu, on the other hand, smiled and pretended not to see it. Did the dog emperor have the time to worry about her?
Are you in trouble now?
"Your Majesty…I believe that we should first investigate the situation.”
"Your Majesty, I believe that if a marriage alliance between countries can be resolved, then a marriage alliance is the simplest and time-saving solution. Now, we should investigate whether Quhu has other plans or is only here for the marriage alliance.”
"Your Majesty, this minister is also like this. The captain of the Heavenly Policy Army stationed in the Western Regions, Feng Meichen, heard that he was injured and returned to the capital two days ago. Your Majesty can send him to ask.”These officials didn't know what Quhu was up to, but the soldiers who spent most of their time at the border should know.
"Pass it on."
The captain of the Heaven's Policy Army came up very quickly. He was a middle-aged man with a broken arm and bandaged wounds. It was obvious that he had been discharged due to injury.
"Your humble subject greets Your Majesty." As soon as Feng Mei entered the hall, he immediately knelt down in reverence.
"Qing, get up." the empress said calmly.
"His Majesty invited you here because he has something to ask you.”
"This humble subject has also arranged to see Your Majesty for something, but I requested to see Your Majesty more than ten days ago, but I have been neglected. I beg Your Majesty to investigate the relevant people.”The squad leader's expression turned cold as he directly complained.
Upon hearing this, the empress's expression changed slightly and she said sternly,""There's actually such a thing."
Mu Yu's expression was also slightly cold. The people in the court were so bold. They wanted to see the situation at the border, but they actually dared to deceive the world. Something was probably going to happen.
"Your Majesty, let's discuss this matter later. For now, it's better for you to clarify the matter of the Western Regions 'diplomatic mission.”Wei Ge's words caused the sergeant to be dissatisfied. Mu Yu also frowned. Wei Ge was not the kind of person who would help others. Was there a hidden reason?
"Do you know that Quhu and I have always minded our own business? Why did he suddenly change his mind?”The empress thought for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject wishes to meet you to discuss this matter.”Feng Mei's expression turned ugly as he said," Quhu has never had much interaction with our Great Luo. Even if they were to start a war, they would have to travel a long distance to come here and would not be able to gain too much. However, for some reason, these foreign barbarians have come. Now, a small cavalry force is harassing us every day. This minister's hand was cut off in pursuit. Your Majesty, this minister has come to convey the request of the governor of Yunguan, requesting Your Majesty to send troops to attack.”
Hearing this, all the officials gasped.
The big shots from the Western Regions had really come. They had even sent an advance party. This might be the prelude to a real fight.
The empress's face turned cold.”
"Your Majesty, I don't know." Feng did not speak.
"You may leave."
"I will take my leave." Feng Mei retreated.
"Does anyone else know?”The empress suppressed her anger.
"Your Majesty, the Great Luo does not have much interaction with the foreign countries of the Western Regions. I guess that even if a few soldiers at the border come, they will most likely not know.”A group of officials said," However, these foreign tribes are straightforward and most of what they say is true. If Your Majesty doesn't marry them, something will happen at the border. It won't be good if they fight. Your Majesty, our Great Luo is also in trouble.”
"This bunch of bastards, threatening me with mutual destruction?”The empress was furious and her vision turned dark. However, she really didn't have any good ideas. She could only fight him directly, but she didn't really want to fight him either.
"I want to know why the matter that Commander Feng said just now was not conveyed to me!!”The empress suppressed her anger and looked like she was going to investigate the matter.
Mu Yu's eyes turned cold, and so did the officials.
The General Administration Department, who was in charge of reporting and reporting, was very happy.
However, none of the envoys dared to speak.
"Minister Chang, Minister Zhang." The empress coldly pointed at their names.
Mu Yu also looked coldly at the two of them. Could it be that the Empress's political tactics had failed and someone actually dared to deceive the heavens? That was not possible.
The empress was muddle-headed, but she still had the means to govern the world. Mu Yu even suspected that even if he didn't care about the northwest, the empress had a way!
"Your Majesty." Zhang Fengye braced himself and stepped forward.
"Minister Zhang, tell me about it.”The empress's expression was ice-cold, and the officials who were familiar with her were all terrified. With such an expression on her face, someone was probably going to lose their head.
"Your Majesty, I apologize." Zhang Fengye knelt down in fear and trepidation." Your Majesty, you might have forgotten. I told you about these things a few days ago, but you didn't pay attention to it. I'm guilty. I didn't explain it to you repeatedly, so you didn't pay attention..."
" Ah…" The empress was stunned.
Mu Yu was also stunned. Then, he immediately reacted, and his heart was boiling with anger.
Damn it, no wonder Wei Ge wanted to help cover up just now. So this was the reason.
It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't react, but that he did. The dog Emperor ignored him and even forgot about it. The dog Emperor was truly hateful. The more Mu Yu thought about it, the angrier he got.
Zhang Fengye said it nicely, but who didn't know the truth behind it? The dog Emperor must have thought that this was just a small matter that didn't affect the overall situation and didn't bother about it. The empress had ignored many matters in the court for a long time.
Wei Ge also knew about it, so he deliberately hid it in front of the border guards to prevent them from being disappointed…
This hateful fatuous ruler!
The empress had obviously thought of this as well.
If it was in the past, she wouldn't have cared at all. She could just casually brush it off with a few words. However, today, her heart was stiff and her little face was stiff. Her gaze seemed to casually and inadvertently sweep across a certain part of the imperial court. As expected, she saw that dog looking at her coldly, and her heart instantly felt even more empty.
"I, I see. I was too careless.”The empress admitted her mistake and said guiltily,"Minister Zhang, please leave."”
