"The former Ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, and Ministers of the Ministry of Industry were ineffective in their work, and they all lost their posts."

"At the same time, Wei Liang, the Minister of the Household Department, recovered his merits after the war and was promoted to Minister of the Household Department."

"Liu Chuyun, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, is strict with himself, and he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Zhao Yikuang, the order of the Supreme Hospital, has countless survivors, and he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"Zhao Weizhen, a fifth-rank official of the Admiral's Mansion of Nine Gates, acted rigorously and moved to the prefect of Weinan."

"Qian Bu, a fifth-rank official, devoted himself to his duties and moved to the magistrate of Tongchuan."

"..."

With Ji Ruxue's order, she directly took over the ministers who were born in three aristocratic families.At the same time, several local officials who dared to cut off grain and silver near the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom were all demoted.

And the replacements are the 'loyal ministers' who have been diligent and conscientious.

Chapter 90 The barbarians have committed another crime, Your Majesty, why don't you invite General Li back?

Just when Ji Ruxue and the ministers of the aristocratic family started to fight for power.

A piece of shocking news suddenly interrupted her train of thought.

"What, barbarian invasion!"

When Ji Ruxue heard the news from the intelligence officer, she felt a sense of absurdity.

It's been ten years!

Ever since Li Huai'an defeated the barbarians in the first battle, Da Zhou hadn't heard any news from the barbarians for ten years.

So much so that she felt that she would never deal with barbarians in her life.

I still have some regrets in my heart.

One less opportunity to make contributions!

In the past, Ji Ruxue had always regarded this as one of the evidences that Li Huai'an prevented her from becoming the Great Zhou Eternal Empress.

However, when the barbarians really invaded again, she, who had already fallen into a power war with the family ministers, did not have the slightest bit of extra energy to make contributions!

Suck!

Ji Ruxue took a long breath, and with a sense of luck, asked:

"The barbarians were hit hard by Li Huai'an, so it must be nothing to mention."

"The frontier general, you should be able to hold on!"

When the intelligence officer heard this, his face was filled with bitterness, and he said helplessly:

"Because the military rations and salaries were not distributed in time this time, many frontier soldiers fled."

"Now, the entire border is like a broken net."

"The barbarian army, come and go at will."

"The entire border has become a mess!"

When Ji Ruxue heard this, she felt dizzy for a while.

"Why, how could this be?"

……

the other side!

Great perimeter.

Bloody clothes waiting in front of the camp.

An army of [-] barbarians surrounded him on three sides.

The momentum is overwhelming!

Xue Yihou stood on the wall of the barracks, looking helplessly at the black barbarian army that could not see the end.

Just a few days ago, he was happy, eating Northwest beef and drinking wine, watching the Empress Dou Shijia.

And by taking advantage of the opportunity of the two parties fighting, they have harvested a large number of talents and food, gold and silver.

The strength of the blood-clad army swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even, he began to develop ambitions, planning to raise his Marquis to a higher level.

For example, King Zhenbei is very good.

However, he never expected that extreme joy and sorrow would come so quickly.

In a blink of an eye, a hundred thousand barbarian troops marched south.

And he was the first to bear the brunt.

In front of the elite cavalry of the barbarian army, his blood-clothed army had almost no room to play, and was directly blocked in the barracks.

Sitting in the city of sorrow!

"Although there is still half a year's supply of military rations, if there is no way to replenish the water, it can only last for one month!"

"The charcoal reserves are also insufficient. If there is a fierce battle, there is no way to completely repair the damaged weapons in the army."

"The arrows and arrow shafts are not enough. They can only support three moderately intense battles for the entire army at most."

"..."

Xue Yihou silently calculated his bargaining chips, the more he calculated, the more desolate he felt.

Just at this time, Yitu Khan, the great leader of the barbarians, rode his horses and shouted loudly:

"Xueyihou, if you don't surrender now, when will you wait!"

"Our barbarian spies have confirmed that General Shenweitian Li Huai'an has left Da Zhou."

"Without her, you weak Dazhou people are destined to become slaves to our barbarians!"

"Surrender now, I allow you to keep half of the soldiers!"

"If you resist stubbornly, after I break through your barracks, I will kill all the men in your army who are taller than the wheels!"

"I'll give you three days to think about it, you can do it yourself!"

Hearing Yitu Khan's almost undisguised contempt, Xue Yihou felt helpless in his heart.

Because he knew that what Yitu Khan said was true.

Although the blood-clothed army was elite, there was no possibility of victory in the face of a barbarian army of [-] manipulators riding horses.

Therefore, besides surrendering, there is only one way for him now!

"Go and ask the Empress for help!"

Xue Yihou immediately wrote a letter of plea for help, and dispatched sixteen urgent messengers at [-] miles, which was the only hope to prevent being blocked by the barbarians.

However, what he never expected was.

The barbarian army didn't care at all about his obvious request for help.

There is no intention of blocking it in the slightest.

……

Great Zhou, the Imperial Palace.

Ji Ruxue soon received an urgent request for help from the bloody waiter Babaili.

Although her headache was about to split, she knew that she couldn't ignore the blood-clothed army!

If Dazhou is compared to a house, the blood-clothed army's garrison is the northwest gate of Dazhou.

Once it falls, the entire Great Zhou will be open to hundreds of thousands of barbarian bandits.

A barbarian disaster that is more terrifying than ten years ago will appear.

Moreover, the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom will once again be in danger of being besieged by barbarians.

But this time, there is no Li Huaian to turn the tide and help the building to collapse!

"The barbarians must be kept out of the blood-clothed army's garrison!"

"Come on, pass my order!"

"The princes of the four directions, support the blood-clothed army!"

In Ji Ruxue's mind, she kept recalling every dispatch order that Li Huaian issued when he suppressed the barbarians ten years ago.

Then draw gourds in the same way, stamp the empress seal one by one, and send them out.

"King of Zhennan!"

"Duke E!"

"Pingxi waiting!"

"Xianghou!"

"Wait!"

"..."

However, when her order to deploy troops arrived.

None of the princes were willing to respond to her orders.

Zhennan King Zhao Pu:

"The minister sits in the Southern Wilderness, and dare not move lightly!"

Duke of E:

"Old and frail, old and dim, unable to lead troops!"

Ping Xihou:

"A major epidemic in the military!"

Xianghou: "..."

……

Every prince shirked with unused reasons.

Anyway, he just refused to send troops.

Great Zhou, the Imperial Palace.

Looking at the news from the princes from all over the country, Ji Ruxue went crazy with anxiety.

"They, how dare they!"

"As a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but selfish, shameless!"

"This Palace will abolish their titles!"

"Abolish them!"

However, after Ji Ruxue calmed down, she knew very well.

When the princes from all over the country were in the capital, she was unable to abolish them, and she even refused to ask for elite soldiers.

Now that there are powerful enemies outside, and the princes have returned to their camps, she is even more incapable of abolishing them.

However, her angry speech in the palace still reached the ears of the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When Zhennan Wang Zhao Pu heard it, he sneered a little, and sighed in disdain.

"Our Majesty really doesn't have any self-knowledge."

"How dare you say that we are selfish!"

"Ten years ago when the barbarians invaded, General Li personally led the army there. He won all sixteen battles along the way. He is known as the God of War."

"If you take the lead in this way, and the rewards and punishments are fair, we will naturally respond to everyone!"

"She hid in the palace, thinking about the struggle for power all day long, and regarded Da Zhou as her own private property!"

"I am the most selfish one in the world, and I still have the face to scold us for being selfish!"
