Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 650 Cannibalization
beginning of winter.

There is light snow in the morning.

When it falls to the ground, it becomes rain.

Only the distant mountains and roofs can be seen a little white.

Shen Guo started before dawn.

But today, only Empress Dowager Zhao appeared, sitting in the most authentic seat, without the transparent gauze curtain in front of her.

It shows that the Empress Dowager's position in Shen State has been completely consolidated, and she has become the No.1 in Shen State.

Today, the emperor Li Pingan did not come to the court, saying that he was ill.

The Queen Mother knew about Li Pingan's going out last night, and thought that Li Pingan was too absurd last night, so she couldn't get up today to pretend to be sick.

Empress Dowager Zhao looked down on Li Pingan and didn't say much.

In fact, Li Pingan really didn't pretend to be sick this time, but was really sick.

He was really scared, talking nonsense all night and waking up several times.

He thought it was the queen mother warning him.

After all, the queen mother has done this kind of thing before.

It was the first coup.

But it has been a long time, and now the Queen Mother Zhao's methods have become much gentler, and she no longer kills casually.

But Li Pingan deeply felt that it was the Empress Dowager Zhao who did it.

Empress Dowager Zhao was warning herself.

Now that the queen mother's position is stable, the queen mother is going to attack herself.

Thinking of this, he frightened himself into a sickness, he didn't sleep all night, let alone, he couldn't get up when he was about to go to court in the morning, he struggled to get up, passed out again, and lay back on the bed.

Empress Ye Min was very worried, wondering what happened to the emperor.

Last night, she smelled the strong smell of powder on the emperor's body, and she knew that the emperor was going to those romantic places.

Ye Min can still tell the difference on this point.

After all, the noble daughters of big families, or women in the harem would not use such a strong powder.

But the emperor obviously sneaked away to the Fengyue place, but when he came back, he looked terrified, as if he was frightened, and he didn't say anything when he asked.

in the hall.

Empress Dowager Zhao has a spirited face and a straight back.

He was even more energetic than Shen Huangyu back then.

The courtiers came out one by one, and reported the big and small affairs respectfully.

Empress Dowager Zhao listened very seriously.

No courtier dared to perfunctory.

The emperor was not in court today, which made those censors who always scolded the emperor very aggrieved, and suddenly had nothing to do.

They dare to criticize the emperor and criticize the emperor every day, but they dare not criticize the empress dowager, even dare to fart.

If the queen mother is really farting, she probably has to sing her praises.

But after a court meeting, it is impossible for no one from the censor department to speak.

It should be possible to scold the emperor in front of the queen mother.

It's just not as cool as usual.

Finally, a censor came out and scolded the emperor for sneaking off to the folk Fengyue Street for not caring about the dragon body...

The censor scolded the emperor severely, quoted scriptures, and spit all over the place.

Empress Dowager Zhao also just raised her eyes and waved her hands, even if it was over, she didn't like the word "nine-five-year-old" to describe the emperor.

The censor was not very happy to see the queen mother, so he silently shut up.

And Yu Shi, who wanted to join in the fun, also obediently kept his legs still.

Usually at the end of the court meeting, the former Ye Yushi, the current head of state, and the first-rank chief assistant of the court will come out to make some concluding remarks and say some more important things.

It is said that Ye Shoufu seems to have some ambiguous affair with Empress Dowager Zhao.

But it's just a private legend.

It also explained Ye Shoufu's current status.

You must listen to what Ye Shoufu says, and listen carefully.

As for his words, Empress Dowager Zhao would generally consider them carefully.

"Jing Kingdom has fallen, Jing City has been occupied, Emperor Jing's life and death are unknown, and a large number of refugees from Jing Kingdom have fled to Xi Kingdom and Manhuang respectively."

There have been various gossips before, but there is no official public statement.

When Ye Shoufu opened his mouth, all the officials knew that this was the final conclusion, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Back then Shen Guo was beaten up by Jing Guo, and Emperor Jing came to the city with a large army. Before entering the city, Shen Huangyu was killed that night, and a coup took place in the court.

Although the Jing people were sent away afterwards, all the people in Licheng, the most prosperous Shen State, were directly buried with them. The cruel method became a closely guarded period in the history of Shen State.

In the eyes of Shen Guo people, Jing Guo is still powerful and terrifying.

But such a powerful country was destroyed as soon as it said it was destroyed?
Who is the enemy?

For a while, there were many discussions in the court, which was much noisier than usual.

Empress Dowager Zhao actually knew about this earlier, and she was also a little uneasy.

But Jing Guo, since Jing Huangrui's death, Empress Dowager Zhao didn't care much.

Jing Huangrui was the rope of the Empress Dowager Zhao, she was like a kite, when Jing Huangrui died, the rope broke, and she flew away without a second thought.

Hearing this at this moment, Empress Dowager Zhao's heart was even calm.

On the contrary, the courtiers in the court were very excited one by one.

Of course, there are some courtiers who feel that it doesn’t matter. Jingguo is so far away, and it’s not like there will be turmoil every few years. It’s very chaotic. The emperor seems to take turns. It's been like this every year, no matter how Jing Guo fights, it doesn't matter. Shen Guo hasn't been doing well all the time, so he doesn't care at all.

But on the surface, they want to show gregariousness, so they all look impassioned.

Empress Dowager Zhao watched them discussing a lot, and one or two words reached her ears, but it was actually useless.

None of the courtiers said that they wanted to fight.

Everyone has already tasted the sweetness of the previous war against Xiguo.

But there is only fear for Shangjing country.

The people who came back to power are more powerful than the army of the Jing State they have seen, how terrifying that is.

Moreover, the Jing country was bitterly cold, so there was no benefit at all. There was a natural disaster last year, and I heard that many of them starved to death.

In short, there was a lot of discussion, but there was no talk about preparing for the war. After all, Jing country is far away, and there is still a wilderness.

At this time, I remembered the benefits of wildness again.

It's smelly and hard, it can't be eaten, it can't be chewed, but it should be pretty good to scare others.

They want to accept refugees and they accept them. Anyway, Shen Guo is a refugee and is not allowed to enter. Anyone who comes will be killed without mercy.

Empress Dowager Zhao didn't care about Jing Guo now, after listening to everyone's discussion for a while, she still asked Ye Shoufu what he thought.

Ye Shoufu said: "The great enemy of the State of Shen has always been the State of Xi, and the Queen of the State of Xi is so ambitious that she actually leads troops to march on the battlefield, and it is also because of the Queen of the State of Xi that Manhuang has always had a rebellious heart and swayed from side to side. , is unforgivable. I believe that the State of Shen should still prepare for war, conquer the State of Xi, and realize the unification of the world as soon as possible."

When the ministers heard Ye Shoufu's words, they were really excited at this moment.

Those who led the troops out last time gained great benefits when they came back. They were promoted and made a fortune.

If there is still a chance this time, we must get the chance and try to get a gold-plated circle.

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded.

From top to bottom, the courtiers were all in the same opinion, and they fanatically wanted to attack Xiguo and take advantage of it.

Empress Dowager Zhao also didn't like Li Shenyou, especially Li Shenyou, and she was very taboo.

She does not have a strong sense of the overall situation of the country.

But there is a strong awareness of the individual.

So she agrees.

Just when everyone was fanatically wanting to attack Xiguo and gain benefits from this event.

On the fringes of Shen Kingdom, ghostly crowds gather bit by bit...

Ship after ship of ragged slaves were brought over, armed with knives, guns and firearms, their eyes numb.

Like eating mulberry leaves.

Eat fast and rush.

Some well-dressed people flowed into Shencheng from all directions, just like water droplets dripping into a stream, and the stream merged into a river, and the river was turbulent.
