The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

When Gu Qingyue mentioned Lin Zixiao and Ren Tianye, no one was surprised. After all, in the entire world, there were only these two people with such absolute strength.

But who will Gu Qingyue choose?

Then Gu Qingyue said, "My preference is Ren Tianye!"

Why?

"Because Lin Zixiao has become a rebel, conquering cities and seizing territories, and is not subject to imperial edicts, he can be allowed to roam freely... The imperial court has not yet issued an edict to him, so he may very well be loyal to the emperor and love his country!"

At first glance, Gu Qingyue's words seemed reasonable.

Upon closer examination, there are numerous problems.

The Prime Minister couldn't help but ask, "Ren Tianye now commands troops in the northern frontier. What should we do if he disobeys orders after entering the capital?"

"What should be done if he harbors rebellious intentions?"

Gu Qingyue said confidently, "Prime Minister, have you perhaps forgotten that Duke Ren is still in prison?"

"With Duke Ren in charge, how could Ren Tianye dare to disobey orders?"

These words caught the attention of many people.

After all, Duke Ren was imprisoned because of Ren Tianye's rebellion, and his entire clan was wiped out. If it weren't for the Duke of Zhenguo's desperate pleas for mercy, Duke Ren would have also become a victim of the sword!

According to the news that came back, Ren Tianye's expedition to the northern frontier was at the behest of the Duke of Ren. The father and son were so close that the Duke of Ren was even willing to sacrifice nine generations of his family to allow Ren Tianye to raise an army. It seems that using the Duke of Ren can indeed restrain Ren Tianye.

However, the vast majority of people still felt it was inappropriate.

I have a feeling that something is wrong.

Moreover, the problem is huge!

"Besides..." Gu Qingyue then added, "Besides Duke Ren, I have other means to guarantee that I can keep Ren Tianye firmly under control!"

"Once he arrives in the capital, how dare he disobey orders?"

These words were spoken with such imposing force, reminiscent of the Duke of Zhenguo in his prime, that they stirred a frenzy in the hearts of many ministers who desperately wanted to eliminate Tuoba Xiangtai.

Just then, Chen Liang, a representative of the younger generation, strode out.

He shouted, "No!"

"This is absolutely unacceptable!"

"The calamity caused by Tuoba Xiangtai is a trivial matter. If we wish to deal with it, we only need to enter the Imperial Palace and behead him. A few assassins will suffice. Why bother summoning outside troops to the capital?"

"Ren Tianye is a tiger and wolf in the northern frontier, ambitious and ruthless. If we allow him to lead troops into the capital, how is that any different from raising a tiger to cause future trouble?"

"He will inevitably seize control of the government, and then the situation will be out of control!"

Before Chen Liang could finish speaking, Gu Qingyue gave a cold laugh: "Chen Liang, you're mistaken! Tuoba Xiang is too powerful; only external forces can subdue him. Are you afraid?"

"If you're scared, then please leave!"

"This court meeting doesn't need another one!"

Led by Gu Qingyue, everyone launched a barrage of criticism against Chen Liang.

This caused Chen Liang to collapse in despair. He simply turned around and stormed off, but as he looked at the ornately decorated palace, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The one who will bring chaos to the world is Gu Qingyue!"

After Chen Liang left, everyone settled the matter. However, they still needed to consider who to send next, and Gu Qingyue had already planned for this.

He said, "You can rest assured about this matter."

"I will certainly handle this well for the imperial court!"

After the conference, which lasted for a full day and night, Gu Qingyue went straight to the prison.

Led by the jailer, they first went to see Duke Ren.

Although the Duke of Ren's mansion was inferior to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the Duke of Fuguo's mansion in terms of status and had little real power, its prestige was genuine.

He should have lived a life of wealth and honor.

Yet he insisted on supporting his son's rebellion.

Now is the time to use him.

Gu Qingyue didn't waste any words. After having the jailers drag Ren Guogong up, she directly explained the matters discussed that day and asked, "Are you willing to assist the court in restraining your unfilial son, Ren Tianye?"

Duke Ren almost knelt down before Gu Qingyue.

"Yes, yes!"

"This lord—no, this humble subject—is more than willing!"

"That's good!" Gu Qingyue didn't waste any more words with Duke Ren and went straight to another prison, where Duke Ren's son was imprisoned.

To be precise, he was the adopted son of the Duke of Ren.

And this son, Ren Tianchao, no matter what, had a brotherly relationship with Ren Tianye, which made him exactly the person she wanted.

He then explained everything to Ren Tianchao.

He asked, "Are you willing?"

"I'm willing! I'm more than willing!" Ren Tianchao cried his heart out, "Ren Tianye, no, my brother, although we haven't known each other for long, we're brothers."

"We have a really good relationship!"

"If I persuade him, he will definitely return to the capital immediately and help the Great Yu to kill Tuoba Xiangtai!"

Gu Qingyue nodded in satisfaction again.

Everything was exactly as she had predicted!

Things will absolutely not go wrong.

He then ordered Ren Tianchao to be released, tidied up, and given an imperial edict, along with all the necessary gold seals and entourage items, and instructed him to go to the northern frontier to persuade Ren Tianye!

……

Northern Xinjiang!

Ren Tianye was stationed in Yunji City and in control of the overall situation, while the situation in the northern frontier was progressing very smoothly.

Driven by a desire to achieve merit, Zhang Shi rampaged across the barbarian grasslands, leading five thousand men to slaughter countless enemies and achieve frequent victories.

Shi Hu and Sun Xiang did not disappoint him.

Each of them led a large army to conquer the northern frontier. They were unstoppable in their advance, and in many places, they didn't even need to fight. Before their armies even arrived, the city gates were already wide open and the surrender flags were raised.

In just over a month, all the major towns in the northern frontier had fallen into Ren Tianye's hands.

He has now become the true ruler of the northern frontier.

In addition, the number of troops has been increasing during the process of conquering the northern frontier, and now he has an army of 250,000, making him a true regional overlord.

Ren Tianye kept looking at the battle report, and the smile on his lips never stopped.

"Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General!"

As a clerk, Su Jin was quite tactful and offered a timely compliment.

"Hahaha..." Ren Tianye couldn't suppress his smile: "It's all thanks to your Su family that you've been able to control the commerce of the Northern Frontier, providing the army with a continuous supply of food and money. It's truly a testament to my efforts in nurturing your Su family!"

While he was talking to Su Jin, a guard ran in from outside.

"General, Wang Hai of the Wang family requests an audience!"

"Oh? Please come in!"

Ren Tianye said politely.

From the moment Sun Xiang and Shi Hu's armies swept across the northern frontier, the role of powerful families like Wang Hai became increasingly apparent. Many towns were easily captured thanks to their persuasion.

and……

Wang Hai and others used his identity as the successor of the Duke of Ren to a masterful degree, making it clear to everyone that Ren Tianye was the inheritor of the Duke of Ren's will.

As a result, many people were initially unwilling to join Ren Tianye, since Ren Tianye's starting point was too low; he was just a minor guerrilla general.

But it's different if one is a descendant of the Duke of Ren's family.

Therefore, Ren Tianye held Wang Hai and other prominent families in high esteem.

Soon, Wang Hai strode in, his face beaming with joy: "General, great news! Your younger brother, Ren Tianchao, has arrived in the Northern Frontier with the imperial seal and entourage, on imperial orders!"
