On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month in the sixth year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu died suddenly, and then went to Huangquan together after a week.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month in the sixth year of Jianyuan, during the national mourning period, Xiwei and North Khitan launched an attack on Dazhou on the same day.All of a sudden, Da Zhou was hit by enemies, and fell into an unprecedented predicament and panic.

On the tenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the sixth year of Jianyuan, it was the day when the emergency news at the border was received.In order to secure the hearts of the army at the border and the people of Da Zhou, it was the first time that Da Zhou violated the law that the new emperor must observe filial piety for the first emperor for one month before he can ascend the throne. On that day, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was held.

On the [-]th day of the fifth lunar month in the sixth year of Jianyuan, Zhu Qiaoxin promulgated her first imperial decree as an empress after she had finished offering sacrifices to the ancestors.She announced that the Great Zhou will be changed to the Mandate of Heaven from today onwards, and the new emperor will be titled Emperor Detiannv.

The twelfth day of the fifth lunar month in the first year of Tianming was the second day after Zhu Qiaoxin became emperor.General Yulin Zhong Qiande was appointed as the second-rank general of Zhenguo, and Yun Zheng, the new emperor's confidant bodyguard, was appointed as the third-rank general of Huaihua.Empress Detian handed over all the [-] forbidden troops under Emperor Wu's name and the [-] border guards under her own name to them.

The two people who were authorized to take charge of all the life and death powers of the imperial army also had the authorization to kill first and play later.And when the ministers were shocked, someone said that the new emperor should think twice.Zhu Qiaoxin sat on it, and suddenly said lightly: "If anyone among you can drive away Xiwei and Beiqidan for me, who can keep my Dazhou border safe and sound. I can abolish them both now and change you to Dazhou General!"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up.

Originally wanted to get angry, but in the end Zhu Qiaoxin just sneered and said: "The Great Zhou today is no longer what it used to be. If anyone dares to make trouble for me at this time, I will become the first one in the Great Zhou who lost his land." Emperor, I will make his life worse than mine!"

Everyone was startled and all knelt down at the same time, looking down at the master who had a cloudy expression on his face.Obviously everything is developing in the direction he expected and hoped for, but for no reason, Yun Zheng has a feeling that something seems to be out of control.

Looking down, he glanced at someone who had been hiding in the crowd all this time.A killing intent suddenly flashed in Zhu Qiaoxin's heart.

The feeling of wanting to kill someone to vent her hatred grew stronger and stronger, but she tried her best to tell herself that the man was her grandfather and could not move.After a while, when everyone in the court was a little uneasy, Zhu Qiaoxin raised his head and said softly: "Zhong Qiande, you said that you found something suspicious in Xuanwu Hall that day?"

Since the death of Emperor Wu, successive incidents have been added one after another.Zhong Qiande didn't think of someone who is still locked in the sky prison until now and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I did find a stick in Lu Sizhong's baggage---"

"Drag out and hang!"

Before Zhong Qiande finished speaking, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly stood up step by step and said coldly: "Those who dare to murder the royal family will be killed without mercy! I will execute all three clans of Lu Bingyan at the Meridian Gate. From now on in the entire Great Zhou, no one will dare to think like that indiscriminately!"

"..."

None of the ministers dared to speak out. They knelt with their hands curled up and looked up at the master who seemed to have completely changed. For the first time, Yun Zheng began to worry.

But even if Yun Zheng at this time understood what went wrong, he never had the chance to get close to Zhu Qiaoxin again.

May [-]th, no matter how worried.After all, Yun Zheng and Zhong Qiande quickly led the troops out of Yancheng, the capital.

Just when the 18 troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty left Yancheng and headed straight for the northern frontier, Zhu Qiaoxin hurriedly sent Lu Wuyong, Minister of the Ministry of War who had always been friends with Xiwei, to Xiwei.

On the second day after Lu Wuyong left, Zhu Qiaoxin ordered Yunxing to recruit Liu Yu, the number one scholar in the fourth year of Jianyuan who had been idle in the Ministry of Rites.

When Liu Yu knelt in the hall of Xuanwu Hall, he rarely became nervous. He became the number one scholar with Zhong Qiande in the fourth year of Jianyuan.He was rarely summoned, and as a first- and sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites, he had only met the Eldest Princess twice in more than two years.

One time was the Lantern Festival in the fourth year of Jianyuan, and he saw Zhong Qiande bowing to the eldest princess from a distance.And the second time was when he was accidentally remembered by Emperor Wu more than ten days ago and asked him to follow the eldest princess to Xiwei to give gifts.

Unexpectedly, in just a few dozen days, my good brother became a second-rank general of the town and holds a heavy army, which is not what it used to be.I didn't expect to see the eldest princess again, but she has become the master of the whole Zhou Dynasty. For a while, even Liu Yu felt that everything was like a dream.

There were pattering footsteps in the hall, and Liu Yu quickly lowered his body.After a bright yellow embroidered dragon boot passed him in front of him, Liu Yu immediately turned his body and said loudly, "Lang Liu Yu, the head of the Ministry of Rites, sees the queen, long live the queen!"

"Get up!" The voice above said faintly without a trace of emotion, upon hearing the voice, Liu Yu hurriedly stood up cautiously.

"Liu Yu?" Gently slapping the folder in his hand on the armrest of the dragon chair beside him, Zhu Qiaoxin frowned and said, "Are you the civil and military champion in the same year as Zhenguo General Zhong Qiande?"

The voice of the female emperor above was actually emotionless at all, but the unprovoked Liu Yu still heard a trace of contempt and contempt in it.

For the first time since entering the palace, he raised his head and looked at that person leaning on the dragon chair.The empress, who was dressed in bright yellow and whose hair was all wrapped up in a white jade crown, quickly replied, "I want to report to the empress, it is true that I was admitted in the same year as General Zhen Guo, but---"

"Do you know why I asked you here?" Zhu Qiaoxin interrupted him suddenly, with a trace of impatience in his voice.

Faintly feeling that there seemed to be some important matter, Liu Yu hurriedly said respectfully: "My humble minister is dull, please let the empress express it!"

Snorting softly, Zhu Qiaoxin said directly: "This time the West Guard and the North Khitan attacked at the same time, and Da Zhou has no way to deal with both sides at the same time. Therefore, the Wei State side must negotiate. In fact, this matter should not be difficult. Emperor Wei has just ascended the throne, so if there is a serious war at this time, they will not gain anything. What Xi Wei asks for is food and silver, I can give them, but---"

Liu Yu looked up and waited for the next sentence.

Zhu Qiaoxin looked at him, and suddenly changed his posture and said directly: "You follow Lu Wuyong, and plan to kill him before the meeting!"

I guessed a lot of things, but I never thought it would be such a thing.Liu Yu looked at the queen above, her face full of doubts and incomprehension.

Standing up slowly and stepping down step by step, Zhu Qiaoxin rarely explained: "That old man, I have already harbored evil intentions. I can agree to give Wei Guoyin taels, but I absolutely don't want to follow them. So I want you Wei Huang designed to get rid of him in front of him, to let him know that I, Zhu Qiaoxin, am not a fool. Needless to say, as long as you can handle this matter well, you will be the next Minister of the Ministry of Officials after you come back safely. The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments and the second Pin, I think you should understand what I mean!"

Lowering his head and showing disbelief, Liu Yu suddenly felt a little dizzy.It feels like everything is a dream, the head of the six books of the Ministry of Officials, how could she promise so hastily.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly lost his patience.Stepping down quickly, Zhu Qiaoxin looked at him and said very seriously: "Go out, go back and think about it carefully. If you figure it out, you will set off to chase that guy tomorrow. If you can't figure it out, you will give me a place early tomorrow." , I don’t support useless people!”

"My minister leads the decree. If you don't leave tomorrow, please calm down the queen!" Feeling that she was in the wrong mood, Liu Yu immediately agreed out of instinct.

"That's good, go out. Go to Yunxing, he will tell you what to do." As if sensing his abnormality, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately waved him to back down.

Liu Yu withdrew, and after there was no one in the hall, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly calmed down.Quickly got up and returned to the dragon chair just now, picked up a blue hairband from above, and held it tightly for a long time, and then Zhu Qiaoxin gradually felt better.

Thinking of everything on her body, she felt like she was about to suffocate.Gently touching the hairband in her hand, thinking that she even wanted to kill her grandfather, even Zhu Qiaoxin felt unbelievable for a while.

The author has something to say: It should be a longer break, I know what to write but I don’t feel it anymore, I hope it will be better when the breeze comes out next time.

Today is Xiaojun, let's make do with it.
