In the court.
The empress's words caused a commotion in the court.
Northern Battlefront Marquis!
This name, which had not been heard for a long time, was once again mentioned by the empress.
He even wanted to transfer him back to the capital?
Some of the officials did not have any objections to this matter. After all, whether the Northern Marquis would return or not.
It didn't affect them much.
However, some people could not sit still anymore as their expressions changed drastically.
"Your Majesty."
On the side of the general, Grand Commandant Fu Ling walked out and said respectfully,""You mustn't do this."
When the empress saw the Grand Commandant walk out, she frowned slightly.
However, before she could say anything, Fu Ling continued,"Northguard Marquis has guarded the northern border for more than ten years. He has resisted the Hu, so that the people of the northern border will no longer have to suffer from their harassment.”
"If we transfer them away, there will be no army to guard the north, and the Hu will definitely invade the north again.”
"When the time comes."
"The people of the Northern Territory will once again be in dire straits.”
The Grand Commandant's words came from the bottom of his heart. There was no need to doubt the strength of the Hu.
Otherwise, before the Northguard Marquis went to the north…
The people of the northern region of the Great Zhou would not have to suffer from the invasion of the Hu for hundreds of years without a solution.
It wasn't easy for him to have a Northern Marquis.
How could he be so easily transferred away when he had killed the Hu and returned in defeat without even getting a single benefit?
"I agree."
The Minister of War, Zhang Yi, walked out once more.
"Your Majesty, there's no one to guard the northern border after the Northguard Marquis left.”
"The dynasty is currently in a precarious situation. Many of you know what the Northguard Marquis is capable of.”
"The Northern Territory's elite army of hundreds of thousands under the command of the Northern Territory's Marquis marched to the Imperial City without any hindrance under His Majesty's orders.”
"Once."
"His heart harbors evil intentions."
At this point, Zhang Yi did not continue.
However, everyone in the court understood what Zhang Yi meant.
Many of the ministers paled.
At that time, who in the world could stop the Marquis of Zhenbei from rebelling?
"Nonsense."
As the ministers 'expressions changed, the Grand Commandant cursed.
"I've known the Northguard Marquis for many years and know him well.”
"If he harbored evil intentions, why would he wait until today? He could have started a rebellion back then. Ten years ago, if the Marquis of Zhenbei rebelled, what do you think would have happened?”
Fu Ling looked straight at Zhang Yi. Under his slightly flustered expression, he sneered and said,"The Minister of War slandered the Northguard Marquis in front of His Majesty and refused to let him return.”
"Could it be?"
"Are you one of the few people who shocked the Northern Marquis after he returned to court?”
Such a question, every sentence was a blow to the heart.
Zhang Yi's face was pale and his lips were trembling. Even his hand that was pointing at the Grand Commandant was trembling.
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Yi took a deep breath and cursed the Grand Commandant for being an old fogey. He then hurriedly knelt down.
What did the young man represent?
Needless to say, he naturally knew.
It represented that after the Empress ascended the throne, she was dissatisfied that the Great Zhou Dynasty was controlled by a woman.
The person who was hiding in the dark and wanted to pull the empress down from the throne.
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
Zhang Yi, who had suffered quite a shock, spoke in a trembling voice.
However…
Before he could finish, the empress interrupted him,"Alright, Zhen believes that the Minister of War is not one of those scoundrels.”
"It is indeed not appropriate to be so rash about transferring the Northern Marquis back to the capital. I will think about it for some time.”
The empress and Li Qinghou didn't know each other.
They had only met once or twice at banquets, but Li Qinghou's aura was so sharp.
However, it left a deep impression on her and was difficult to forget.
Once upon a time, her father had even joked about marrying her off to Li Qinghou, who had already become the Marquis of Zhenbei.
At that time, her face had also turned red with embarrassment.
Which young girl did not yearn for love and wanted her husband to be a man of indomitable spirit?
However…
That was her in the past, and now she was the Great Zhou Empress.
...
Retreat from court.
When the empress returned to her bedroom, she felt a little tired.
Although she had some tricks up her sleeve, it was not enough to deal with the upcoming situation.
"Should we recall the Northguard Marquis?”
She had thought about this matter for a long time, but she still had not come to a conclusion.
The current situation of the Great Zhou.
She indeed needed a subordinate who could subdue those vassal kings and villains.
The Northguard Marquis was undoubtedly the best choice.
However, she was also worried about one thing, and that was whether Li Qinghou was harboring evil intentions.
If Li Qinghou was loyal to him, then his throne would be more stable than ever.
With the world-renowned Northguard Marquis around.
No matter how bold those vassal kings of Liang were, they did not dare to act rashly.
Ding! The Emperor Simulation Device has been bound.

[Able to simulate identities: Prince, Emperor, Commoner]
Just as the empress's thoughts were spinning, a voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
"Who is it?"
The empress stood up abruptly.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness as she scanned her bedroom.
A gust of cold wind blew across the bedroom, causing a layer of frost to form on the ground.
"No one?"
The empress looked around and frowned when she didn't see anyone.
" Emperor Simulation Device?"
"What is this?"
The empress muttered as she recalled the voice in her mind.
As soon as he finished speaking.
A transparent light screen that only she could see appeared in front of her.
"Hiss!"
"What exactly is this?"
Looking at the screen in front of her, the empress was shocked.
This thing could actually choose to simulate the lives of others, such as the only person on it that could be simulated.
The Second Prince, Chu Heng.
"This brother of mine actually has the Emperor option.”
After her excitement, the empress's expression immediately turned cold. She muttered,"Then let's see how my little brother, who usually has no reputation, ascends to the throne.”
"Simulate the second prince, Chu Heng, Emperor's Choice.”
