The Great Xia Kingdom was besieged by surrounding countries.

Such a big event caused turmoil in the court.

Faced with the danger of the country's imminent destruction, the civil and military officials who had always had different opinions stood on the united front.

Now, the Great Xia Kingdom is without an emperor, which is equivalent to being leaderless. The most important thing is to let the new emperor ascend the throne as soon as possible.

The Fourth Prince was just a child less than one year old. Whether he ascended the throne or not would be of no help to the Great Xia Kingdom, so the only candidate to ascend the throne was Xiao Ziming.

Xiao Ziming was pushed onto the throne in this way. Due to the urgency of time, the coronation ceremony was temporarily scheduled for a later date.

The most important thing at present is how to expel the small countries around Daxia from Daxia's territory.

The officials were discussing the matter, with the civil officials demanding peace talks and the military officials demanding the use of force.

There was a fierce quarrel in the court.

In the end, Xiao Ziming made the final decision.

"It is absolutely impossible to negotiate peace. We are a great country with a vast territory. If we surrender to a small country, we will lose our deterrent power to the surrounding countries. This is a very terrible thing. The temporary peace will definitely be returned double in the future. Therefore, the only way is to defeat them."

"But, our Great Xia Kingdom has lost cities one after another because we can't win the war. Your Majesty must think twice."

Xiao Ziming said with confidence.

They won the battle not because they were so powerful, but because our Great Xia Kingdom had not yet used its full strength.

"Your Majesty, have you thought of a good way to fight the enemy?"

"I have indeed thought of a solution, but the key to solving this matter actually lies in my queen."

That's right.

Ever since Xiao Ziming became the emperor, Gu Lingshuang became the queen, and she was the only woman in the entire harem.

Because the country is in turmoil now, no court official allows Xiao Ziming to expand his harem.

Xiao Ziming's words immediately aroused opposition from the ministers.

It simply means that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, etc.

Xiao Ziming suppressed the situation with forceful means, and then had Gu Lingshuang brought to the Golden Palace.

Gu Lingshuang was wearing a bright red phoenix robe. She looked graceful, dignified and stunning.

But the court officials still had some complaints.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what methods do you have to counter the simultaneous attacks from the Southern Border, the Northern Border, and other small countries?"

Gu Lingshuang smiled slightly and said, "Of course I have a way, but I don't know if you ministers are willing to go out with me to take a look."

The court officials didn't understand what she was up to.

"What are you looking at?"

"You'll know when we get there."

The court officials refused to give up. They were determined not to let women interfere in government affairs. They wanted to see what she was up to.

"Just look at it."

Just like that, under the leadership of Gu Lingshuang, a group of people left the Golden Palace and arrived at the martial arts arena.

The martial arts arena is very, very large. There is an oversized arena on top of it. The arena is a place for soldiers to compete. It is made of stones and is as strong as a city wall.

Gu Lingshuang brought the court officials to a huge thing covered with a red cloth.

The court officials all looked puzzled.

"What does the Queen mean?"

Gu Lingshuang smiled slightly, then pulled out the red cloth, and suddenly, an extra-large cannon appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other.

"what is this?"

"I don't know, why does it look so strange?"

"Isn't this a weapon?"

"What kind of weapon is it?"

Everyone looked at Gu Lingshuang, waiting for her answer.

Gu Lingshuang did not answer, but demonstrated it herself. She ordered people to load a large cannon shell into it, and then started to light it with a torch in her hand.

The fuse burned out and only a loud "bang" was heard in the ear.

The shell was fired and landed right on the ring.

The extremely hard arena was blown to pieces.

In an instant, everyone present was stunned, each of them standing there like a fool, unable to believe what they saw.

What did they see?

The arena was destroyed in just a moment?

If the bomb hits the city gate, it will definitely be destroyed.

If the bomb hits a group of people, they will be instantly reduced to ashes.

The looks that the civil and military officials gave Gu Lingshuang changed from contempt at first, to horror, and finally to deep admiration.

Their voices trembled.

"Empress, what is this? Why is it so powerful?"

"If this thing is used on the battlefield, our Great Xia Nation will surely be invincible."

"No wonder His Majesty said that the Queen has a solution. So this is what he meant."

"With this item, it will be easy for our Great Xia to unify the world."

Everyone present cheered, and the more they looked at Gu Lingshuang, the more they admired her.

Their queen is so powerful and handsome.

Just now they thought that women should not be involved in politics, but now, what the hell is this? If all women were as talented as the queen, they would wish that women would be involved in politics more often.

Gu Lingshuang finally said the name of this thing in their expectant eyes.

"This is a cannon. I developed it for use on the battlefield."

"It's just that developing this requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so it took time, which is why small countries like Southern Xinjiang are so rampant."

When the ministers heard this, they all admired Gu Lingshuang very much.

The Queen had previously developed a musket with great lethality, and now she has developed a cannon. The Queen is simply a genius.

What’s the big deal about wasting some time? Now that they have cannons, the surrounding countries will surrender to them.

Hahaha, that’s great, that’s great, they are about to witness the history of the Great Xia Kingdom unifying the world.

By then, the scene of peace and prosperity will not be far away.

Everyone looked at Gu Lingshuang with eyes as fierce as wolves and tigers. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Lingshuang had become the emperor's woman, they would have wanted to send their own sons to her side and make them her concubines.

Wow, how could there be someone as smart as the Queen in the world.

In the past, everyone said that the second young lady of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion was a fool, and everyone looked down on her.

Who could have thought that she would eventually make a comeback and become the queen in just one year.

The Pingyang Marquis Mansion really mistook pearls for fish eyes, which makes people sigh.

With cannons, no one would worry about the destruction of the Great Xia Kingdom anymore.

The most important issue is who to send to lead the troops to fight.

After several days of discussion, Xiao Ziming made a decision to send out four groups of troops to advance in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest directions respectively.

After everything was arranged, the court became quiet.

In the following days, they waited quietly for good news.

The Ministry of Rites began to prepare for Xiao Ziming's enthronement and Gu Lingshuang's coronation ceremony.

The news that Daxia Kingdom resisted the attacks from four surrounding countries with its own strength gradually spread.

Countries that do not border Daxia all feel that Daxia is doomed this time, and that the emperor of Daxia is making irrational decisions.

However, when the four armies arrived at the border and fired the first shot of the war, in less than an incense stick of time, they had wiped out a large enemy force of 10,000 people.

When the news spread, people thought it was fake news.
