From eunuch to emperor

Eastern Zhou Dynasty, capital.

The empress sat on the phoenix chair of the Daming Palace, and Di Wan'er stood beside her to serve her.

Di Yuwei, Di Xingwan, Wang Wei, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Duan Shuangshuang, Minister of the Ministry of Household... A group of civil servants stood in the hall.

The only difference is that Sun Yun, the Duke of the Old Zhu Kingdom, also came today and sat on the side chair.

"Go up!"

Di Wan'er shouted, and everyone stood in awe.

The empress sat on the phoenix chair and spoke slowly:

"My dear friends, today's court discussion is about the battle between Zhenguo Temple, Linjiang City, and Caishi City."

"After King Wu attacked Zhenguo Temple, Nanliang invaded Linjiang City and Caishi City, intending to contain the troops of Dazhou."

"I know that you are quite critical of King Wu's battle to destroy Xixia. You think that Da Zhou is under attack from both sides, and that he is powerless."

"Let's discuss it later, what do you guys think?"

After the empress finished speaking, all the ministers in the hall discussed for a while, and Wang Wei, Minister of the Ministry of War, finally stood up and worshiped: "Qi Zuo, my minister is responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of War. At this critical juncture, I have to say."

The empress nodded slightly, and the others looked at Wang Wei.

When Long Chen went to war, Wang Wei's opposition was the most intense, and he strongly opposed it in the last court meeting.

"My minister is ordered to mobilize the Great Zhou's military resources and military supplies. After all the calculations, my Great Zhou's national strength is not enough to support the two sides to go to war."

"Xixia and Dazhou are listed as powerful countries, and Nanliang is even more powerful. If King Wu insists on going his own way, if the two fronts go to war, he may be burned."

Many ministers in the court agreed with Wang Wei's words.

They were not dissatisfied with Long Chen, they really believed that Da Zhou's national strength was not enough to launch a war of annihilation.

"It's not so easy to destroy Xixia. Xixia iron kite is at least 30."

"Otherwise, King Wu killed [-] enemies and took [-] prisoners in the first battle at Zhenguo Temple, and Xixia's vitality will be seriously injured."

"Most of them are monks and soldiers in Zhenguo Temple. Besides, who knows how many King Wu killed?"

The battle report for the Battle of Zhenguo Temple has already been delivered, and everyone knows about it.

At first everyone was very happy, but soon, the battle report of Linjiang City also arrived.

Five generals Qiu Kuohai, Hu Feiyang, Xue Ze, Tong Yuan, and Liu Feibai stormed Linjiang City and Caishi City, and fought fiercely in the south.

At this time, everyone panicked and felt unable to hold on.

Seeing that there were still many criticisms in the court, the Empress was quite displeased.

Long Chen captured Zhenguo Temple in the west, opened the gate of Xixia, and drove straight in.

At this time, there were many voices of opposition in the DPRK and China.

The Empress looked at Gongsun Yun and asked, "Old Zhu Kingdom, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at Gongsun Yun.

Gongsun Yun sat on the grand teacher's chair, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, my lords, I think that King Wu's capture of Zhenguo Temple is already a great victory, and the door of Xixia has been opened, so it is time to attack while winning."

"Linjiang City and Quarry City have been reinforced over the years. Although the battle is fierce, it should be no problem to hold them."

"Nanliang's attack is nothing more than trying to support Xixia and contain our Dazhou soldiers."

"As long as King Wu wins a big victory in the west, Nanliang will definitely retreat, and the crisis will be resolved by itself."

"As for the lack of troops, the number of soldiers is not enough. The Long family's army has been training at Jade Buddha Pass for many years. 20 troops are enough to pacify Xixia."

What Gongsun Yun said, the empress nodded slightly in agreement.

However, Wang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, objected: "Old Zhu Kingdom, Xixia has established the country for hundreds of years, no matter how elite the Long family army is, it is impossible for one to defeat ten."

"The 30 Xixia iron kites, plus the mobilized soldiers and horses, at least a million troops, how will the Long family army defeat the enemy?"

Gongsun Yun said: "In the battle at Zhenguo Temple, the Long Family Army fought ten against one."

Wang Wei shook his head and said, "That was a surprise attack. If we fight head-on, the Long family's army will definitely be defeated!"

Xu Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, turned black when he heard this, pointed at Wang Wei and said, "Shangshu Wang, what are you talking about! What does it mean to be defeated in a head-on battle? The Long family army has fought for several years, and they must win every battle!"

Wang Wei sneered and said: "Xu Shangshu, you are the Shangshu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, don't form cliques for personal gain!"

Xu Ming became even more angry, and scolded: "Wang Shangshu, at this critical juncture, don't avenge yourself publicly!"

Xu Ming used to be Long Chen's subordinate, so Wang Wei said that Xu Ming formed a clique for personal gain.

Wang Wei and Long Chen had conflicts, so Xu Ming said that Wang Wei took revenge on himself.

The two quarreled fiercely in the court, and other ministers tried to persuade them to make peace.

Wang Wei said indignantly: "My lord, I heard that Shi Le has raised an army in person, leading the national division Kongji to lead a group of generals to Yangcheng. A fierce battle is inevitable."

"Weichen suggested that King Wu withdraw from Zhenguo Temple and return to Fangyufo Pass, and accept it as soon as it is good."

There are many other ministers who are in favor, and they also think that Long Chen has taken advantage of this battle, and he should accept it as soon as it is good.

The empress watched the ministers in the hall arguing endlessly, and turned to look at Di Wan'er.

Di Wan'er understood, walked forward with a battle report, and said, "My lords, King Wu's battle report arrived last night."

"Shi Le led Kong Ji, Shi Haoran, Fu Yong, the five generals Xin Kong and Xin Jing from Zhaoti Temple to march in person, and another 40 troops arrived at Zhenguo Temple."

"Shi Le personally led the general to challenge. King Wu led the generals to fight against the generals in front of the battle. They killed Xin Kong and Xin Jing on the spot. Hussar General Fu Yong was killed. Kong Ji and Shi Haoran were seriously injured and have already been sent back to Xingqing City."

Long Chen's battle report was sent to Fengming Palace last night, but the empress did not tell everyone, only today at the court meeting.

The expressions of the ministers in the hall changed when they heard this, they felt very strange, how did Long Chen do it?

In fact, there have always been gossips from the government and the public, saying that Zhang Qian and the five are just Long Chen's playthings, and they are not considered generals at all.

Unexpectedly, Long Chen led five female generals to win a big victory.

"My lord... Could this be fake?"

Even Baili Bing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, found it inconceivable.

The Empress smiled and said, "When did King Wu lie about the military situation?"

Baili Bing nodded, thinking it was true, who would dare to lie about such a big matter.

The Empress said: "There is something that I did not tell you. Under the guidance of King Wu, Zhang Qian, Wu Chuchu and Dugu Jiali have already broken through the realm of Emperor Wu, and Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun's breakthrough is just around the corner."

It was only then that the ministers suddenly realized, no wonder Long Chen could win, it turned out that Zhang Qian and the others made a breakthrough.

The Wuhuang and the king are completely in two realms. There are many generals who have cultivated the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the Wuhuang is very few.

"The Censor of Zuoqian Capital!"

The empress looked at the team next to her, and everyone turned their heads to look over. Standing there was Li Junjun, Zuoqian capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The deputies of the various ministries of the court meeting also came today, and Li Junjun, Fang Yu and others were also there, but they just stood behind.

Li Junjun immediately came out and said: "My minister is here."

The empress said: "Ling Ai Bai Tingting, when she was fighting for generals at Zhenguo Temple, she cut off the head of Xixia hussar general Fu Yong with a single sword, and made a great contribution. Your Li family is good!"

Li Junjun was ecstatic when he heard that, tears filled his eyes with excitement, and he said: "Thank you, my lord!"

The ministers of the DPRK and China looked at Li Junjun in surprise, envious in their hearts.

Beheading the Xixia Hussar General, this credit is enough for him, Li Junjun, to eat for a lifetime.

Sure enough, following Long Chen would be beneficial.

"Congratulations, Master Li."

"A tiger father has no dog daughter."

"congratulations."

The ministers praised Li Junjun a lot. Li Junjun thanked the ministers and returned to the train to stand still. He felt light and light.

Gongsun Yun asked: "Your Majesty, in this way, there is only Shi Le left in Western Xia, and there are no other generals available?"

The empress nodded slightly, and said happily: "Most of the Xixia generals come from Zhaoti Temple and Zhenguo Temple. Now these bald donkeys have been killed by King Wu, and Kong Ji was seriously injured. There are no more generals in Xixia."

The court ministers were overjoyed and all praised Long Chen for his strength.

Gongsun Yun said happily: "It seems that King Wu will return to court soon."

Wang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, still felt that it was not enough, and said: "There are still 40 troops in Xixia. Shi Le is good at using troops. I'm afraid that King Wu will stumble."

Xu Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, sneered: "Wang Wei, don't you wish that King Wu's army would be defeated like a mountain?"

Wang Wei said angrily: "Xu Ming, what do you mean!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, at this moment, Yingfeng hurried in from outside the hall with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

"My lord, the new battle report of Zhenguo Temple has arrived!"

When everyone heard that the new battle report had arrived, they all fell silent. Gongsun Yun got up slightly, waiting for the announcement of the battle report.
