I am a Big Villain

209. The Queen’s Favorite Husband

"In this battle, I will fight in person."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers who had been silent and didn't know what to say all knelt down and asked the Queen to take back her orders.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this. This Red Woman clansman has a fierce temperament and fierce methods. It is really not good to start a war with them. Otherwise, the people at the border will suffer."

The person who spoke was the Minister of War. He was not young yet, but he was still in good spirits. He was the first one to stand up and dissuade Feng Zhao from his proposal to lead a military expedition in person.

"He, the people at the border."

Feng Zhao chuckled softly, then suddenly got angry, picked up the memorial on the side, and threw it at her.

The first and last pages of these memorials were made of wood chips. They were hit with such force that the Minister of War could not dodge, and his head was broken and bleeding. There was a sudden commotion in Mingfeng Palace.

Concubine Liu was extremely happy to see this scene. Since the death of the late emperor, although he had moved to the imperial mansion outside the palace, he still knew some news in the palace.

The Queen has always advocated attacking the Red Girl tribes, but these worms and mediocre officials have always blocked it. If it hadn't been for them, his son might not have died.

Now, his prince died so miserably, and these people were still trying to whitewash peace. He really wanted to peel off their skins, carve out their flesh, and then practice the pain his son had suffered on their children. , look at their expressions at that time.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

A small number of the courtiers kowtowed to plead for the servant, trying to explain to the queen the stakes involved and not to lose their minds because of Prince Ling's matter.

"The Scarlet Girl Tribe has sent a message. As long as our Tianhuang Kingdom is willing to marry another prince, we are willing to rebuild our old relationship with Tianhuang. War is a waste of people and money, so it is absolutely undesirable."

These officials have been at ease all their lives, and what they fear most is war. If they win, it's fine. But if they lose, the good life now will be gone. Besides, marrying a prince can buy you peace for a few years or more. It’s also a very cost-effective thing.

Of course, no one dared to say the second half of the sentence.

"Huang Shangshu, I remember that your young master just turned fifteen this year. He is known as the most talented man in the capital, right?"

Feng Zhao's voice was a little cold. She looked at the ministers who advocated for peace. The coldness on her body scared Jiang Liu and took two steps back.

After hearing her words, the Minister of Rites broke out in a cold sweat. Her son was her old son, and she loved him to the core. She didn't even think about getting married to him, let alone the queen. She just wanted him to be happy with her life. Yes, find him a girl with good character and appearance to marry him.

"Shilang Zhang, Young Master Lin... you must all have sons of the right age in your clan. Unfortunately, there is no princess of the right age under Gu's knees. In order to express Gu's sincerity to the tribes of Chi Nu, it is not as good as all the princes in your family." If the young master is suitable, Gu Tong will give him the title of county king, and then reward them for the sake of my people, the people of Tianhuang and the tribes of Chi Chi Nu."

Feng Zhao's voice became more and more urgent, and his voice became louder and louder: "Not only that, I also want to tell them that these men who are getting married are dedicated by their mothers, let them beat them, let them scold them, and say anything at any time if they are unhappy. You can cut off their hands and feet, scratch their faces, and finally chop off their heads.”

"Finally, I would like to lament for these young masters who died in vain, die for the peace of Tianhuang, what an honor to die! Master Shangshu, you! Why! Why! Ah!"

Feng Zhao's eyes were red. He looked at the silent officials. He didn't feel any pain unless the knife cut him. He didn't see their pain when the news of Brother Ling Huang's death came. He didn't see them when the border city failed three passes in a row. The pain was just his expectation, nothing had happened yet, and everyone was crying.

"Snapped--"

The table in front of Feng Zhao was made of golden nanmu, partially covered with gold, and weighed more than a hundred kilograms. However, such a table was lifted by Feng Zhao with force, and it rolled over and rolled down the steps, smashing the stone slabs. Damn it, the officials present have never seen the Queen so angry before, how dare they touch her at this time.

"I second the proposal. It's just a matter of the imperial commander's personal expedition. Please think twice."

Zhang Ying was the first one to stand up and agree with Feng Zhao's request to start a war with the Red Girl tribes. Those border barbarians had been coveting their Tianhuang Kingdom for a long time and had finally captured three cities. They would definitely not let go easily. , even if you find a royal family member to marry, I'm afraid it will only be the second Prince Ling.

"I also second my opinion."

Zhang Ying started, and other ministers also spoke one by one. The Queen had made up her mind. Moreover, some of them also felt that Prince Ling's death was too miserable. It was okay if they didn't know about it before. Now there are rumors in the capital. If the Royal Family hadn't Setting an example may make people think that the Queen is too weak and loses the support of the people.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty, and the food, grass and medicinal materials may not be enough for war preparations."

The Minister of Household Affairs trembled, glanced at the Minister, and spoke bravely.

"Over the past few years, the country has been peaceful and the people have been safe, but the treasury has been empty. Are there too many moths raising alone? Come on."

As soon as Feng Zhao finished speaking, a group of soldiers wearing black armor appeared in Minghuang Palace. Judging from their attire, they were all new to them when they entered the palace in the past.

"Thoroughly investigate all the accounts of the Household Department and the Military Department. If there is corruption and fraud, all property will be confiscated."

A small number of officials present felt a cold sweat in their hearts as they looked at the group of soldiers leaving in a resolute manner, and then at the tall woman standing tall in front of the phoenix chair.

Since when did the Queen grow into what they are now unable to fathom? These soldiers and generals they have never seen before may be the forces secretly supported by the Queen.

Thinking about the so-called empty treasury, many people sweated on their foreheads and began to tremble.

"Don't worry, Princess. Gu, we will definitely bring back the emperor's brother's bones and move him to the imperial mausoleum for a safe burial."

Feng Zhao walked down the steps, stood in front of Mrs. Liu, and said solemnly.

"His Majesty."

Concubine Liu's inner grief was able to vent. Since the queen had promised, she would definitely come back with her son.

Concubine Liu burst into tears, her Ling'er could finally go home.

****

The news that the Queen wanted to lead the conquest in person spread like a snowball in the harem. When the news about Prince Fengling returned to the capital, the Queen had not set foot in the harem for three days in a row.

In the past three days, there has been a turmoil in the capital. Many important officials from the late emperor's period had their homes confiscated, all of them guilty of embezzlement of military pay. Waves of blood washed out in the market, killing all the principal criminals and their families. They were all imprisoned in cells, waiting to deal with the troubles of the Red Girl tribe.

Most of the concubines in the palace are the sons of officials, and there is a lot of commotion outside the palace. Naturally, the palace also hears about it, and they are worried that the queen's next anger will burn them.

At the same time, they are also worried that the Queen has not yet given birth to a daughter. If she really goes on a personal expedition, if something goes wrong, a new emperor will inevitably be established. And they, the Queen's old friends, may have no choice but to enter the imperial temple and guard the ruins. This life.

Therefore, these days, although the Queen has not stepped into the harem, Yan Chu is still here. Everyone knows that the Queen loves him the most, and they all want him to speak and persuade the Queen to take back her life.

Besides, isn't Yan Chu's biological mother Yan Beitian who guards Lingtian Pass? His sisters are also tiger generals in the army. Since they are all in the north, why would Your Majesty put himself in danger? If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid Yan Beitian and others will People will also be affected.

They tried to persuade them openly, but they threatened them secretly. If it were the original person who was here now, he would have been really frightened by them, and he would have foolishly gone to persuade the queen.

"You have nothing to say to me?"

This was the first time Feng Zhao entered the harem after three days. She went straight to Fengyi Palace. She was really tired from the past three days.

Yan Chu massaged the acupuncture points on her brain to help her relax.

"Persuasion, what are you advising Your Majesty?"

"It's spread throughout the harem, right? The concubines haven't bothered you these days?" Feng Zhao chuckled. She looked at Yan Chu intently, wondering what he would say.

In three days, she relied on vigorous and resolute methods to finally suppress all the voices of resistance. In fact, the voices of the previous court were now unified, but the news had not yet reached the harem.

But she just wanted to hear it and wanted to know if Yan Chu would persuade her to take back her life like others.

"Won't."

Yan Chu shook his head, his eyes firm: "Your Majesty has forgotten whose son I am."

Feng Zhao was distracted. Yes, he was Yan Beitian's son. He had lived in the border town since he was a child. He had not lived the comfortable life of the capital for long. He was indeed used to the desolation of the border town and the constant separation and death.

In this way, he understands the pain of the people in the border towns better than those brothers who grew up in the greenhouse. He also understands better what kind of fate awaits the Tianhuang Kingdom once he fuels the ambitions of the Red Girl Tribes and waits for the other party to regain enough energy.

This was a mistake left by her mother, and she had to clear it up on her behalf.

"but."

Yan Chu's turn of events made Feng Zhao's heart skip a beat, and he felt a little disappointed. After all that, he still didn't want her to lead the expedition in person?

"Please take me with you when your majesty goes on an expedition. I want to see my mother and sisters after being away from home for so long."

In the memory of the original body, the Queen finally got what she wanted, but the battlefield was changing rapidly and there were many dangers. Because the original body was not with her, all she got was sporadic news from the border. In addition, he was not there at that time. If you are not favored, you will naturally know less.

Yan Chu couldn't guarantee whether everything would change with his arrival, so this time Feng Zhao planned to lead the expedition himself, and he had to follow him to feel at ease.

Feng Zhao glanced at Yan Chu. She didn't expect that the other party's request was this.

Although the other party said that he wanted to meet his mother and sister in the border town, Feng Zhao knew that the reason why the other party did this was because he was worried about her.

Everyone avoids this upcoming war, but the person beside her is willing to accompany her to the most dangerous places.

Feng Zhao's psychological defense collapsed, and in an instant, she knew that a certain position in her heart had fallen.

She took a deep look at Yan Chu and said in a calm voice, "Okay."
