The morning light pierced through the clouds, coating the bustling Shen 'du with a layer of gold.
The ministers stood at the Gate of Heaven Influence, waiting for the court to begin.
"As expected of General Li, he can easily deal with Su E'Liao.”
The commander of the Brocade Guard, Xuanyuan Shang, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with a gloating smile.
The ministers did not hide their mocking smiles. They vented their anger.
It was laughable to show off in front of an expert!
How could a true good general be someone with an undeserved reputation? That resounding reputation was built step by step. It was not an exaggeration to call him the pillar of the country.
Unlike Su E'Liao, who was good at taking shortcuts and had no real talent, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
He had lost seven battles and seven defeats, but he still stubbornly continued to attack the city. It was simply a disgrace to the ranks of generals!
Fortunately, he had been kicked out of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Otherwise, with his obsequious personality, the Emperor might really have been bewitched in the long run, and the Great Zhou Dynasty would have welcomed a disaster.
"Clang!"
Clang! Clang!
The melodious bell of the Imperial City rang. The officials stepped into the Imperial City and headed towards the throne room.
On the golden throne.
The Empress of Great Zhou carried the pride and pride of being a victor. A reserved and proud expression suffused her bright and beautiful face, and her bright phoenix eyes flickered with arrogance.
"Pass on my decree. Li Zheng Rong has made great contributions to the country, so I will give his wife a rank three title.”
Wu Mingyue's expression was calm, and he was calm without losing his dignity.
The ministers stood respectfully with their hands down and said in unison,
"Your Majesty is wise!"
As the praise fell, an imperial censor hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily,
"Your Majesty, Shangguan Rusong is a traitor. His entire family must be executed in accordance with the law!”
Hearing this, the official of the Shangguan Clan hurriedly explained,"
"Your Majesty, this person has been removed from the genealogy!”
Wu Mingyue didn't change her expression and didn't want to pursue the Shangguan Clan.
Shangguan Rusong was a piece of trash that was worse than pigs and dogs. He was destined to be a laughing stock in the history books. Not only did he not pose a threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he was also a helper.
Facing Li Zheng Rong, he was like an ant.
If she had chosen Li Zhengrong from the beginning, she wouldn't have had the shame of Canglan City being taken away.
"It's just a small country, yet it dares to have ambitions. We must kill them all. I suggest Li Zheng Rong to abandon the city and attack Chu!”
An old censor suggested.
Instantly, all the officials agreed.
A small country that was weak and did not know how to transform into a king was actually so ignorant and arrogant to the extent that it dared to attack the Great Zhou City!
Anyone with a brain would not make an enemy of a huge empire. Wasn't this like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?
He had to pay a heavy price!
And the culprit, Su E'Liao, should be escorted to the Divine Capital to be cursed by the common people!
Wu Mingyue's eyebrows twitched. She was the one who had instructed the old minister to advise her.
It seemed that the response was very good. Most of the officials agreed to counterattack Chu.
They had already won seven battles in a row, and the morale of the Chu army was low. How could they not beat a dog when it was down?
Since victory was already in their grasp, they naturally needed to expand their victory. Continuing to hide in Flying Dragon City was obviously not in line with the Great Zhou Empire's strategic goal.
He wanted to end the battle quickly and free up his troops to deal with Zhao in the north.
Su Guan, oh Su Guan, you are destined to be an abandoned child. If you die on that day, I will bury you in the Imperial Mausoleum and offer you sacrifices day after day.
But if you betray me, become my enemy, and challenge my authority, there will only be one outcome.
Buried in the wilderness, his body was taken away by wild dogs!
……
Flying Dragon City.
An imperial edict carved with dragons and phoenixes was placed on the table.
Li Zheng Rong took off his armor and cloak. The dim yellow light shone on his wrinkled face.
He was silent for a long time, so long that he was like a dried statue, motionless.
The imperial court decreed that they couldn't just defend and attack Chu.
"Sigh!"
The veteran sighed heavily.
This imperial edict did not match his strategic deployment at all.
They had originally defended the city, and all kinds of defensive formations had been built to make it impregnable, occupying an absolute advantage.
He was confident that no matter who attacked the city, they would be defeated and flee!
If they continued to deplete their forces, the weak Chu Country would definitely be unable to continue.
At that time, with internal conflicts, taking back Canglan City would be like taking something out of the bag. It would not be a problem to take another one or two cities.
But now.
"Your Majesty is eager for quick success and instant benefits. You're so extravagant…"
Li Zheng Rong moved his lips. Even he knew the Emperor's personality. How could Su Guan not know?
The seven consecutive defeats were probably bait, waiting for a decisive battle to determine the situation at the border!
Su Guan did not lose to him on purpose, but to the Great Zhou Imperial Court and His Majesty!
"When a general is outside, he will not accept the monarch's orders.”Li Zheng Rong swallowed the bitterness in his throat.
Even though he said that, he didn't dare to disobey the monarch's orders.
Holding a golden saber in the court, who dared to disobey the order?
Moreover, he was a high-ranking military officer, so his words and actions were even more sensitive. If he disobeyed the imperial edict, then people with ill intentions would take advantage of it and even accuse him of treason!
"Su Guan, as you wish."
Li Zheng Rong gazed at the light, his eyes turning resolute and fierce.
He did not want to fight a decisive battle, but that did not mean that he was afraid of it. He had the advantage in numbers, and he also had five thousand cavalrymen from the north under his command.
How could he be defeated by a young kid?
