Princess Yongning was taken aback when she heard General Gao's words, opened her eyes wide, and said, "What did you say!?"

General Gao cupped his hands and said: "What the humble general said is true. The minister of the Ministry of Industry and several lieutenant colonels were captured. Please show me the emperor and empress."

Shui Rong's face was very gloomy, without saying a word, he said to General Gao: "Call a court meeting immediately."

"Yes!"

General Gao quickly got up and left, striding out, preparing to call for a court meeting.

The owner of Yongning County was in a hurry, and said: "Why is this happening? Jia Yun is only from the Ministry of Industry, and he doesn't know how to fight. Why are the people from Luoshuiguo arresting him!"

Wu Zhao said with a sullen face, "Yongning, you go back first."

Princess Yongning didn't want to go back at all. She wanted to hear the news from the border town, but she couldn't help but bit her lip and said, "Yes, Yongning has resigned."

Princess Yongning said, turned around and walked out of the bedroom slowly.

Only then did Wu Zhao say: "It seems that the people of Luoshui Kingdom don't want to die in peace."

Shui Rong said: "Let's go, there will be a court meeting in a while, first go change a piece of clothes."

Wu Zhao looked at Shui Rong suspiciously, and said, "Just hold a court meeting, and the emperor can change his clothes."

Shui Rong looked at Wu Zhao, raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh? Who told me that you want my world? Now that the court meeting is held, if you don't go, how can you want my world?"

Wu Zhao was a little surprised. Shui Rong was not in good health before, so he listened to the report in the hall. Now that Shui Rong has recovered, if he still goes to the hall, and it is a court meeting, not a court meeting, such a small-scale parliament will also participate , Didn't he affirm his participation in politics?

Wu Zhao looked at Shui Rong and said nothing, Shui Rong put his arms around Wu Zhao, took him into his arms, and said, "Let's go, let's go together."

Shui Rong dragged Wu Zhao into the inner hall, changed his clothes, and then prepared to go to court.

The emperor urgently convened a court meeting, and many ministers heard that Luoshui Kingdom was beaten to the ground. At this last moment, traitors appeared. The soldiers were let in, and the enemy soldiers of Luoshui State could be said to have driven straight in. Many soldiers were injured, the people were killed, and even Jia Yun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was also captured.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while, and the little eunuch soon heard the news, and then Shui Rong walked out of the hall.

Shui Rong has almost recovered, and his face is not as pale as before. With his tall figure, he looks the same as before. When Shui Rong walked out, all the officials rushed to see him, but unexpectedly he was accompanied by the empress.

All the ministers were a little surprised, they looked at each other, they didn't know what happened, such an important court meeting, now that the emperor's illness is recovering, the empress is going to participate in the meeting, what's the matter?

Shui Rong made everyone flattened, and then took Wu Zhao to sit down on the dragon chair. Although the dragon chair was very wide, Wu Zhao felt that it was not appropriate to sit here. After all, there were so many eyes watching, and each of them was full of criticism. Even without opening his mouth, Wu Zhao could see clearly.

Wu Zhao said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to sit here."

Shui Rong stretched out his hand to hold her, not letting her leave, and said, "Sit here."

At this time, Shui Rong actually had two or three points of majesty, and forced Wu Zhao to sit down. When the ministers saw the empress sitting down, there was even more discussion, and they all started talking in low voices.

At this moment, someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the empress is a member of the harem. Even if she is the mother of a country, it is inconvenient to participate in such important national affairs. Especially... especially, I still sit on the dragon chair with the emperor. Your majesty, please think again." ah!"

Some people stood up to speak, and some stood up to support them, saying: "Exactly, Your Majesty, although the empress is honorable, but now the emperor wants to discuss state affairs with his subordinates, how can the empress participate in politics?"

"Yes!"

"I also sat on the dragon chair."

"What is the system?"

Wu Zhao heard someone whispering next to him. Although the voice was not loud, he could hear it clearly.

Wu Zhao gave a low laugh and didn't speak, but said with a watery face: "These days when I was sick, the queen was by my side to take care of my servants, and the plan to retake Caiwei Island was also made by the queen. Now that I'm fine, you guys You want me to be an ungrateful person?"

The ministers were at a loss for words for a while, and someone said: "But the emperor, the empress is a female family member after all, isn't that..."

Shui Rong raised his hand, stopped everyone from talking, and said: "Now that the enemy is at hand, the people of Luoshui Kingdom are rushing into the border towns, burning, killing, looting, and harming the common people, but we are talking about whether women can participate in politics or not?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. In fact, they didn't want to discuss whether women can participate in politics, but to stop Lin's relatives. In their eyes, the Lin family is growing rapidly. Wu Zhao is Lin Ruhai's daughter and has become the mother of a country. , Lin Ruhai is also the supervisor of the third rank. Although his official position is not as high as that of the first and second ranks, he has a lot of real power, is jealous of evil, and is stern and selfless. Many people are afraid of it.

If Wu Zhao were allowed to start government affairs, their good days would probably come to an end.

Shui Rong's attitude was very tough, and those ministers couldn't say anything, so they had to start discussing the affairs of Luo Shuiguo, and some people blamed Wu Zhao for sending Jia Yun, who couldn't fight, to follow the team, which became a burden , I was captured at this moment, and everyone needs to find a way to rescue him.

Someone simply said: "Although Mr. Jia is the pillar of the country, if it is because of Mr. Jia that we have to give up the attack on Luoshui Kingdom, it is... really not worthwhile, so the lower officials think... If you give up, you will give up."

Some people want to give up Jia Yun, ignore the peace talks to rescue Jia Yun, and continue to fight against Luoshuiguo. Anyway, Luoshuiguo is at the end of its battle. If this continues, the stalemate will last for at most three months, and Luoshuiguo will be destroyed soon.

Someone also disagreed with this statement, saying: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jia is the pillar of the country. If the emperor abandons Mr. Jia like this, what will the courtiers think of it? Wouldn't the hearts of the courtiers be chilled? In the back, who else would dare to sacrifice their lives for the emperor?"

The people on both sides didn't give in, and started to fight with each other. One side thought that the rescue of Luoshui country should be destroyed, and the rescue should not be considered. The other side felt that if the rescue was not considered, no one would dare to sacrifice their lives for the emperor in the future.

Shui Rong's face was ugly, looking at the courtiers, those ministers were almost on the verge of fighting.

Shui Rong's face was not good-looking, and they let them talk for a while, only then did the ministers realize that the emperor looked very angry, and quickly restrained his virtues, and he didn't dare to speak.

Wu Zhao remained silent for a while, and Shui Rong said, "Does the queen have any opinions?"

Everyone immediately looked at Wu Zhao, thinking that Wu Zhao would definitely not be able to tell the reason. It would be great if she couldn't tell at this moment, and they just found something wrong and grabbed Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao said indifferently: "Now that the city gate leader has been bribed, an opening has been opened in our country's border city. If the people of Luoshui Kingdom use this opening to concentrate their forces and attack violently, then the territory of our dynasty will definitely be broken through. , and there are many unruly barbarians in the south, will the people of Luoshui Kingdom gather them together to rebel against the imperial court?"

When she said this, everyone panicked immediately, and someone said: "Yes, the current plan is to resist Luo Shuiguo, and we must let go of Mrs. Jia's matter first."

Wu Zhao laughed when he heard this, and said, "No, that's not what I meant."

Everyone looked at Wu Zhao suspiciously, and Wu Zhao said again: "My lords, think about it, although Jia Yun is not a general, but he is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, a minister, how much of our country's country and society does he have in his heart? I'm afraid The water power and construction of our country are all in his heart, if the people of Luoshui Kingdom take advantage of this, what should we do?"

She said, looking quietly at the people present, and said lightly: "I know that many adults want to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, thinking, killing people with a knife is the best way, and the people of Luoshuiguo are willing to do it for you. Without Jia Yun, wouldn’t this be a vacancy from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry of Yipin? Another fat vacancy that can be filled..."

At this point, she said in a cold voice, "So confused!"

Everyone was caught in her mind, and they didn't dare to respond. Wu Zhao said in a cold voice: "Now that the enemy is at hand, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry knows all kinds of constructions in our dynasty. If we don't try to rescue the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, then Luo Shuiguo will If people take advantage of it casually, don’t they want to blow up our bridges, so they blow up our bridges, and if they want to tear down my city, they just blow up our city? There will be endless troubles in the future!”

When the courtiers heard this, they all lowered their heads and dared not speak any more.

Shui Rong paused for a moment, and said, "What the queen said is very true. There is no second plan for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. It must be rescued."

He said, and then said: "General Gao."

General Gao hurried out, bowed down and said, "The humble general is here."

Shui Rong said: "I ordered you to lead troops there and propose peace talks with Luo Shuiguo."

General Gao immediately said: "Yes, General Humble!"

The matter of the peace talks has been settled in this way, and this time there will definitely be peace talks with Luo Shuiguo, but I don't know what kind of conditions the Luoshui Congress will take the opportunity to set.

General Gao's team set off soon and did not dare to delay.

Wu Zhao's body is becoming more and more obvious day by day. Now that I do the math, it won't be long before it's time to give birth. Shui Rong is afraid that Wu Zhao will be exhausted and doesn't want her to be too busy, but now that Jia Yun's life or death is uncertain, Wu Zhao Nature can't relax.

Since Wu Zhao followed Shui Rong to the court meeting that day, Shui Rong will also bring Wu Zhao with him during the next five days of the court meeting, and instead of giving Wu Zhao a phoenix seat, he sits directly on his own dragon chair, like this every time , the first time the courtiers would criticize for a while, after a long time, no one said anything.

This day, Shui Rong got up early again. Wu Zhao lay on the bed, squinting his eyes, feeling tired going up, especially when he was pregnant, and even more tired. Shui Rong was already fully dressed, saying : "Can I get up? If I can't get up, will I go alone today?"

Naturally, Wu Zhao didn't want to miss this good opportunity, so he shook his head and said, "Get up soon."

Shui Rong hurried over to wait on Wu Zhao, the two of them tidied up, and then they walked out of the inner hall hand in hand, the courtiers had already lined up and stood in two rows, when they saw the emperor and empress, they knelt down and shouted long live.

Shui Rong helped Wu Zhaozhi to sit down, and said, "Is there something important to start?"

The minister of the Ministry of War quickly came out and said: "I have reported to the emperor, just now... General Gao sent someone to send the military report back."

When Shui Rong heard it, it must be related to Jia Yun, and immediately said, "How about the peace talks?"

Minister of the Ministry of War had a rather ugly face, he hesitated for a while, and presented the memorandum, the little eunuch held it respectfully, and handed it to the emperor.

Shui Rong took it, unfolded the playbook, and read it with Wu Zhao, both of them looked very bad immediately, General Gao reported that the people of Luo Shuiguo refused to negotiate peace and refused to hand over Jia Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Shui Rong's expression turned extremely ugly, at this moment, she heard the sound of "Tat T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T"!"

The little eunuch ran down, held up the military newspaper, and walked back to the stage. It turned out to be another urgent report from General Gao, and he brought it back and forth.

Shui Rong took it apart and saw that it was written by General Gao himself, saying that the people of Luoshuiguo refused the peace talks, and the team was about to retreat. On the way to retreat, they were ambushed, the bridge was bombed, the grain truck fell from the bridge, and lost four. Carriage grain, and ambush soldiers from Luoshui State rushed out.

Wu Zhao squinted his eyes. Luo Shuiguo's soldiers ambushed General Gao's army. Not only that, they were able to find the route for General Gao's withdrawal and cut off the grain truck.

Fortunately, there were no casualties in the army, but some food and grass were lost.

When Shui Rong saw the military report, his face became even more ugly. The gloom had reached the extreme. The people of Luoshui Kingdom didn't know what to do, and even went ahead and blew up their bridge. This was simply a provocative demonstration.

Wu Zhao frowned, as if he was thinking about it. At this moment, he heard the sound of "Tat Tat Tat", Feng Qingxuan rushed in from outside again, looking very urgent, he strode up to the hall and said: " Your Majesty, General Gao urgently reports!"

General Gao sent three urgent reports in a row. The first time was the failure of the peace talks, the second time was the ambushing of soldiers and horses, and I don't know what the third time was.

Shui Rong calmly said, "Present."

The little eunuch hurriedly submitted the urgent report, Shui Rong unfolded the military report, and rushed forward in one breath, squinting his eyes.

Everyone didn't know what happened. If it was said that the emperor's face was extremely gloomy just now, he didn't know how frightened he was. The courtiers had never seen it before, but they were all trembling in their hearts.

Wu Zhao reached out and took the emergency report, and looked down. It was written in General Gao's own handwriting, which read...

Jia Yun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, has defected to the enemy and rebelled.
