They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

The new emperor was a female emperor, which originally didn't matter.

As long as the empress can demonstrate her skills and abilities, then naturally no one would mind listening to her.

however.

Since she ascended the throne, this empress has failed to satisfy everyone.

The approach is not strong enough, and the policies change from day to day, and some of them are contradictory.

All the court officials knew very well that some of these contradictory decrees were indeed issued by the new emperor, but the other part was issued by the empress dowager.

Although the Queen Mother rarely appears in public, she sits behind the scenes, controlling at least half of the power, or even everything!

This made everyone even more distrustful of the empress.

Since the Queen Mother can control the government, why can't we?

A weak ruler makes the country suspicious. This is not just an idiom, but a reality!

This is the reality of the Daqian Dynasty today.

Looking at the things in front of him, Ji Qiyun sighed and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

As a newly crowned empress, she never expected that she would be facing such a mess.

Because of the death of the previous emperor, there was a momentary power vacuum in the Daqian Dynasty.

then.

All kinds of monsters and demons appeared at this moment.

In the court, the Duke of Zhenguo relied on his high position and power and did not take her seriously at all.

Among the common people, several families of foreign relatives were not at all obedient. They had been doing things secretly in the beginning, but now they have begun to act openly.

In addition, the situation outside the border seems to be somewhat critical.

When the border guards heard about the chaos in the capital, they sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the two tigers. They actually hid themselves away and refused to see anyone. They would only choose who to join after the affairs in the capital were resolved.

This also caused panic among the soldiers at the Daqian border, and they had no intention of guarding the border at all.

The barbarians outside the Great Wall heard about this from somewhere and have now deployed their troops at the border.

Although there has been no physical action yet, there are several minor frictions between the two sides every day.

It seems that a war between the two sides is inevitable.

If it were just that, it would be fine.

The most important thing is that there are people behind her, the new emperor, who are hindering her!

Just to fight for this little bit of power, they didn't care about Daqian or the lives of the people!

These people are so abominable!

Ji Qiyun really wanted to do something, but she could do nothing.

Without that person's consent, her decree would not be issued at all!

Father, I'm sorry. I got this position, but I can't do it well...

It would be better to leave it to my younger brother. Although it would be a similar scene, he is still young after all, and he won't be as sad as I am...

Sighing again, Ji Qiyun closed the memorial in front of her, waved her hand casually, and asked the serving female official to take it away.

After all, these memorials had already been approved by someone, and sending them to her was just a formality to show that she had seen these things and agreed with them.

In other words, she is just a scapegoat and her opinion doesn't matter at all.

Even if she wrote down her opinions, no one would listen to them.

Instead of doing this, it is better not to humiliate yourself.

Walking out of the imperial study, Ji Qiyun looked towards the harem, her expression a little gloomy.

Although the treatment methods in the memorial seem good.

But they are all too ideal!

That was the solution we came up with under the most ideal circumstances, based solely on guesswork.

There is some operability, but not much, and the effect is really not great.

Apart from providing opportunities for exploitation, it has no other use.

You have taken over all the power. I am no match for you, but I have no objection.

but!

At least you can do something useful!

How can I feel at ease when you make such an order?

Really are…

What went wrong with my Daqian? Why did I meet you and become like this?

That's when.

A female official came hurriedly and said to Ji Qiyun,

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. There seems to be a cloud boat coming outside."

Cloud boat?

Ji Qiyun frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Although the Daqian Dynasty is located in a remote area, it is also the only way to certain places.

It is quite normal for some cloud boats to pass by.

Those who dare to fly through the sky with such fanfare are all superpowers.

None of them could be offended by Daqian, so Ji Qiyun had no intention of caring at all.

The main thing is that I can’t control it even if I want to.

"It's not passing by, but it's stopped in the capital and has now landed."

Landed! ?

And stopped directly in the capital?

What kind of force is this? Isn’t it a little too unscrupulous?

No, that's not right. Could they be here to take advantage of the situation and rob us?

Although Daqian is a secular dynasty, it is not worth mentioning to some of the top forces.

But for weaker forces, there are still many good things.

The other party saw that Daqian was weak and took advantage of the situation. This kind of thing is entirely possible!

shit!

Daqian is now at its most vulnerable. Although there are many masters, they are all extremely selfish. How can they protect Daqian!

"Go and tell the Queen Mother about this."

Ji Qiyun thought for a moment and then said to the female official beside her.

She wanted to deal with it, but she didn't have the authority or the ability to do so.

Now, all the people who can be used in Daqian are controlled by the Queen Mother.

She couldn't mobilize any of them.

Since you have the power and the people, it is natural that you should be responsible for handling this matter.

"This is…"

The female official hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.

But then.

She seemed to be unable to help herself and said to Ji Qiyun,

"Your Majesty, look at the logo on that cloud boat. It seems to be the Su family's cloud boat."

The Su family! ?

The female official did not say which Su family it was, but she didn't need to say it.

The Su family is the only one that can be mentioned directly without any prefix!

The Su family, one of the four pillars!

Why would someone from the Su family come!

Ji Qiyun frowned, looked out, and saw the cloud boat slowly descending.

What exactly does the Su family want to do by entering the capital of Daqian with such fanfare?

But then she felt relieved.

It’s not that I have figured it out, but I know that I can’t control it at all.

A behemoth like the Su family doesn't need to care about their thoughts at all.

They can't control the Su family either.

No matter what the Su family does, we have to bear the consequences.

It's been such an eventful time.

Ji Qiyun sighed and felt even more headache.

If the Su family comes with ill intentions.

This time, Daqian is really going to be gone...

And I, unfortunately, have no way...

How ironic...

In the house that Wu Ningdong prepared for Gu Nian and others.

Gu Nian frowned, thinking about what he had investigated.

The situation that Wu Ningdong told Gu Nian was already critical enough.

But Gu Nian didn't expect that the truth was even more critical than what Wu Ningdong had investigated.

Today, the Daqian Dynasty is no longer in danger, but is basically on the verge of extinction.

In the face of internal and external troubles, if we cannot replace the emperor with a tough and cunning one, then

I'm afraid the Daqian Dynasty really can't last long.

No, what Daqian lacks at the moment is not an emperor, but an extremely powerful force that can hold the entire Daqian together.

In addition to holding Daqian together, this force must also have enough strength to resist the invasion of the barbarians in the region.

In this way, the arrival of Gu Nian and others can just solve the problems of the Daqian Dynasty.

Thinking of this, even Gu Nian couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

Although Wu Ningdong didn't understand these things, she accidentally found the most suitable foreign aid.

Is this luck?

But no matter what, now that Gu Nian has agreed to help and taken over, he must do it well.

The channels through which Gu Nian had just inquired about the news were all ordinary people.

The authenticity and specificity of this information remains to be discussed.

After all, most of what ordinary people know are just rumors.

In this era when communications are not yet developed, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get some news.

Unless the higher-ups want them to know, they have no idea what the content is.

All that Gu Nian was able to find out was due to the struggles among the upper echelons, who could no longer keep the news secret, so the news was leaked.

If you want to know the most accurate information, you still have to ask from the top.

For example...the empress and the empress dowager?
