Three branches of the secret net were destroyed in a row, causing Wu Lingyun to feel a little uneasy.
She had only ascended the throne for three months, and her foundation was not stable yet.
Now, he saw Ye Yuntian's last words.
It caused her state of mind to fluctuate greatly.
Especially the destruction of the three secret net branches, it was very suitable for Ye Feng's methods.
Killing without leaving a trace!
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Shhh...
Wu Lingyun took a deep breath. Ever since she decided to ascend the throne, she had already thought about what would happen next.
However, she never expected that Ye Feng might really be alive.
"Ye Feng, I have already ascended the throne. Whether you are dead or alive, what kind of backup plan did you leave behind?”
"Your most threatening son, Ye Yuntian, has been killed by me.”
"In the future, Grand Xia will belong to me!”
Wu Lingyun forcefully suppressed the fluctuations in her heart.
She was not someone to be trifled with.
Since the other party had started to attack the secret net.
She naturally had to retaliate.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time for morning court!”
The eunuch's voice sounded outside the bedroom.
Wu Lingyun was wearing a golden dragon robe and had an imposing appearance.
The dragon carriage outside was already prepared.
"Rise!"
The eunuch's sharp voice rang out as the dragon carriage slowly made its way toward the imperial court.
In the court.
The three cabinet ministers, Zhang Zheng, Xu Jun, and Liu Xiangui, looked worried.
They were all in a heated discussion.
The civil officials behind him did not dare to interrupt.
On the other side, the generals stood in a row.
With Great General Li Xian as the leader.
"Court!"
The eunuch's voice echoed throughout the court. Wu Lingyun was mighty and extraordinary as she sat calmly on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic King Keketuo ordered yesterday that Great General Yelu Liangcai has led five hundred thousand soldiers to Wanxi City, killing fifty thousand soldiers. Defending General Chen Ya has died in battle, and he has massacred the people of Wanxi City.”
Zhang Zheng took the lead and walked to the center of the court.
A few days ago, he had reminded Wu Lingyun that she had to be wary of the Turks.
Wu Lingyun didn't think much of it.
Now, Ye Lui Liangcai led the army and caught the border guards off guard.
On top of that, Wu Lingyun had ascended the throne.
So that many courtiers and people dare to be angry but dare not speak.
The combat strength of the army was greatly reduced.
They were defeated in one battle.
Hua hua hua…
His words stirred up a thousand waves.
Many people whispered among themselves.
"The Turks are truly courting their own destruction. Back then, they led an army of a million to invade our Grand Xia, but they were defeated by the late emperor!”
"The late emperor pursued him to the Northern Desert and forced the Turks back into the depths of the desert. He did not expect that in just 30 years, they had forgotten the pain.”
The person who spoke was Great General Li Xian.
Someone who dared to mention the previous emperor's battle achievements in front of everyone in the court.
Li Xian was probably the only one.
Wu Lingyun looked at Li Xian unhappily.
Recently, she had been having a headache because of Ye Feng!
Now that Ye Feng's battle record was mentioned.
Wouldn't that give some people a chance to gossip?
"Your Majesty! A mere Turkic desert barbarian, this general is willing to personally lead an army into the Northern Desert to wipe out the entire Turkic race.”
Li Xian immediately bowed and asked for instructions.
Everyone finally understood.
Li Xian wanted to make a contribution in front of the empress.
Let's first talk about the late emperor's contribution to the Turks.
Then, he requested to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
As long as he could annihilate the Turks, wouldn't that mean that he was even stronger than the previous emperor?
Wu Lingyun's gaze also became much gentler.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject feels that at this moment, we must not use troops.”
Xu Jun also walked forward excitedly.
Among the three cabinet ministers, he was the oldest, and his hair was already white.
"Why? Minister Xu!"
Wu Lingyun looked at Xu Jun.
She urgently needed a victory to establish her prestige in the Grand Xia Dynasty.
This battle seemed to have come at the right time.
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne for a few months. If you rashly start a war, it will consume a large amount of manpower and resources. It will inevitably lead to the boiling resentment of the people, and I'm afraid it will arouse the anger of the people.”
"Moreover, according to what I know, the Turkic King's invasion this time seems menacing, but in truth, he wants to take advantage of us, not to fight to the death.”
"Our Grand Xia Empire is vast and resourceful. We might as well test the Turkic King's tone. When the time comes, we can give him some silk, cotton, and porcelain tools. Perhaps he will return to the Northern Desert.”
As soon as Xu Jun said that, many people in the court were filled with righteous indignation.
"Lord Xu, our Great Xia Dynasty has been established for a thousand years. When have we ever apologized to a barbarian country? You are betraying our country for glory.”
"That's right. My Great Xia is a seven-foot-tall man. Do you fear death?”
"How laughable. Since when was it my Grand Xia Dynasty's turn to seek peace with the barbarians?”
Some civil officials slandered Xu Jun crazily.
The few generals also glared at him.
Peace?
To a general, this was a great humiliation.
It was even more humiliating than dying on the battlefield.
"Everyone, don't be excited for the time being. Listen to this old man's analysis.”
Since Xu Jun could become one of the cabinet members, he naturally had some ability.
"Your Majesty has been on the throne for a few months. For now, Great General Li will be mighty enough to lead the army straight into the enemy's territory and kill the Turkic King.”
"However, have you ever thought about it?”
"What if someone with ulterior motives sends troops to help the king during the Great General's personal expedition?”
After hearing Xu Jun's words.
"Could it be that Lord Xu is talking about the east?" A courtier asked in horror.”
Everyone fell silent.
They also nodded secretly, feeling that what Xu Jun said was very reasonable.
Once the capital was empty, who would protect the Emperor and the Imperial City?
