Several days later.
Yang Chen returned to the court.
He was now quite famous in the imperial court.
Although the position of the imperial censor was not high, his power was not small. The surrounding officials did not dare to underestimate him.
Even the empress had to be wary of her reputation, let alone these officials who cherished their feathers.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
In the magnificent hall.
The empress arrived late.
All the officials cupped their hands and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty."
Wu Ling nodded slightly." No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Chen was at the end of the line, following suit.
Wu Ling sat on the dragon throne. She glanced indifferently at the ministers below before her gaze inadvertently swept past Yang Chen.
Yang Chen yawned and she happened to see him.
Wu Ling's mouth twitched, and a trace of displeasure rose in his heart.
F * ck, this court meeting had always started before dawn. As the Emperor, she was also in extreme pain. However, in order to take care of her manners, she could only sit upright. How could she hide behind and yawn lazily like Yang Chen?
Ding! Rebel Points 1
Yang Chen quivered. What was going on?
He raised his head in confusion and looked at the empress who was high and mighty in the distance.
He didn't even say anything, so how could he have Defiant Minister Points?
Could it be that Wu Ling was still grumpy after waking up?
In the Imperial Court, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wu Ling naturally could not keep staring at Yang Chen. Very quickly, she said indifferently,"Everyone, I have something to report…"
As soon as she finished speaking.
A middle-aged man with an ancient face walked out and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, I have a memorial."
"Li Qing's family, please speak..." Wu Ling muttered.
This person was the Minister of Revenue, Li Deze.
Li Deze said in a deep voice," Your Majesty, news has come from Shandong. There has been no rain for several months. I'm afraid there are signs of a drought. Currently, a large amount of land has been affected. I'm afraid that this year's harvest will not be good. The imperial court should make preparations early. Your Majesty, please give the order…"
As soon as Li Deze finished speaking, the surrounding officials were a little surprised. To them, this news was really a little abrupt.
Wu Ling pondered for a moment," Immediately allocate funds from the Ministry of Revenue to provide aid. There must be no delay. If a drought really breaks out, it will be an extremely heavy loss for the people. Pass down my orders and have the officials over there make comprehensive preparations to regulate the price of rice and stabilize the people."
"Yes." Li Deze cupped his hands.
Yang Chen nodded slightly from afar.
Wu Ling was able to rely on the soldiers in her hands to take over the territory from the Li Clan. She was indeed extraordinary. Such decisiveness and speed were definitely not something an ordinary woman could compare to.
Xu Zhaozong stroked his beard." Although the bad news from Shandong is unexpected, as long as the court can respond in time, there won't be too much trouble.”
Wu Ling's brows furrowed slightly, but they soon relaxed.
To her, this kind of thing could not shake her emotions.
In this position, she had to remain calm so that she could take the most advantageous measures.
"Your Majesty." Another official stood out." News from Liu Province…"
Wu Ling frowned.
As the emperor, there were many more things to deal with than he had imagined.
Yang Chen stood at the end of the line, bored to death.
Six hours later.
“... Your Majesty, the Qiuci Kingdom of the Western Regions has presented countless treasures, including twenty singers and dancers.”an official from the Ministry of Rites said.
Wu Ling's expression was calm. She had not rested since the court session.
In the vast Great Zhou, she had to go through the government affairs of a country.
"I understand." Wu Ling said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic Khagan admires the culture of our Great Zhou and has sent an envoy to communicate with our Great Zhou. He has brought treasures to pay his respects to Your Majesty." Xu Zhaozong said.
"Oh?" Wu Ling nodded slightly." Where are these people?”
"The Turkic envoy and the others are currently waiting in the Administrative Court," Xu Zhaozong replied respectfully.
"Ask them to come and see me," Wu Ling muttered.
She was a little puzzled. The Great Zhou had just been established and had no dealings with the Turks. The Turks had always coveted the Central Plains, so what were the Turks doing here?
Xu Zhaozong nodded and immediately gave his orders.
An hour later.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic envoy has arrived…" An official from the Ministry of Rites said respectfully.
Behind him was a group of strange-looking Outsiders. Their hair was tied into small braids and placed behind their heads. They had rough faces and cold eyes.
"Greetings, His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor." The Turkic envoys bowed respectfully.
Wu Ling nodded." No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." These Turks spoke fluent Chinese, clearly having studied it carefully.
Yang Chen raised an eyebrow. He felt that this was somewhat strange. The relationship between the Turks and the Central Plains had never been good. Although Wu Ling was powerful, the Great Zhou had just been established. The Turks would not come here to bow down to a new dynasty.
The leader of the Turkic envoys said,"Ashina Rama has come to pay his respects to the Great Zhou Emperor on the orders of Chuluo Khan. I hope that the friendship between the two countries will last forever." We have brought some treasures for Your Majesty.”
The officials all wore proud expressions. They had always looked down on these barbarians, but now that they saw the Turkic envoy's humble attitude, they immediately felt a sense of superiority.
Wu Ling's phoenix eyes were cold as she said,""I appreciate your country's Chuluo Khagan's good intentions…"
Ashina Rama said respectfully,"Your Majesty, this treasure is already outside the hall. Please take a look."”
"Bring it in." Wu Ling nodded.”
Ashina Rama nodded and spoke a few words in Turkic to the Turkic envoys.
The Turks hurriedly walked out.
Everyone started discussing.
"What kind of treasure can there be in the Barren Lands? It's simply a joke.”
"You can't say that. After all, you're offering yourself to our Great Zhou.”
"My Great Zhou is famous. The Turks are probably afraid of my Great Zhou."
