Pick up a female emperor as a wife

Sima Hui, who was standing beside him reporting the news, also had a worried look on his face.

It was he who suggested that Old Man Tianlei go to Xiliang City. If this eventually led to Shen Yang disbanding the border defense forces, the Xirong army would be able to invade Qian State.

He will not only feel ashamed of the late emperor and the people of Qian State, but will also become an eternal sinner of Qian State.

"Your Majesty, I will go to Xiliang City in person to negotiate with Shen Yang and tell him the reason for the incident!" Sima Hui volunteered.

This time, he was prepared to die.

"After Elder Tianlei was arrested, didn't he explain to Shen Yang? Now Shen Yang is either plotting a rebellion, or there are traitors who are making him believe that the court has not given him military pay for three years, and he is extremely disappointed with the court!

Persuasion is useless to him, he wants money!" Nangong Wan shook her head.

The belief that he would die that had just surged in Sima Hui's heart disappeared in an instant.

Death can't solve the problem. Is he really going to become the eternal sinner of the Qian Kingdom?

He only regretted why he had not taken more silver from the corrupt officials like those before, and maybe he could have taken out one million taels of silver.

When I looked up, Nangong Wan had already walked out of the Yangxin Palace.

He quickly followed.

Nangong Wan looked at the numerous stars in the sky, her cold and elegant face full of reluctance, she gritted her teeth and said: "Sima Hui, Blood Plum Blossom, you pass the order down, sell all the land and house deeds that the late emperor rewarded me when I was the crown prince!

Take out all the treasures in the palace and sell them, and try to collect a million taels within three days to send to Shen Yang!"

"Your Majesty! You absolutely cannot do that!" Sima Hui and Blood Plum Blossom knelt down at the same time.

"It's nothing. If I can't even defend the country, what do I need these things for!" Nangong Wan said.

Sima Hui and Xue Meihua also knew Nangong Wan's current helplessness, but Sima Hui still persuaded: "Your Majesty, whether Shen Yang wants to rebel or is forced to do so remains to be verified! If he is determined to rebel, giving him military pay is like using money to help him rebel!

The seven great families and other members of the royal family will certainly use this as an excuse to unite and force you to abdicate!"

How could Nangong Wan not know this?

But she is not someone obsessed with power.

I don’t want to bear eternal infamy!

She clenched her jade hands and said, "If I abdicate, I will be the only one who will be hurt. But if I don't give Shen Yang military pay, it will be like letting the enemy come in, and all the people of Qian country will be hurt!

Even if Shen Yang wanted to rebel, it would be a good thing if he wanted to rebel. At least he would not disband the army and would not let Xirong come in to protect his interests after receiving the money! Our Qian Kingdom will not be invaded by foreign races!

Besides, I still have 30,000 guards, and they are not something that the seven great families can easily deal with. It is not that easy to force me to abdicate!"

Sima Hui and the blood plum blossom are hard to refute.

I can only plead again: "Your Majesty, there must be other solutions, please think twice!"

"I have made up my mind!"

Nangong Wan was firm in her attitude.

Xue Meihua and Sima Hui wanted to persuade them, but they found that all they could do was persuade them. They could not think of any solution at all. No matter how much they persuaded, it was all in vain.

"Everyone, go out! I want to be alone."

"Here!"

As they left, Nangong Wan looked around the palace.

She couldn't hold it in any longer.

Tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes. She wanted to cry but was afraid that others would hear her, so she could only cover her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.

She hated her own incompetence so much!

The late emperor had trained her for many years in order to make her the emperor, and he also hoped that she could avenge the national humiliation and revive the country.

But what is the truth?

But she couldn't even keep the throne.

She hated the Qian Kingdom's royal family and the seven powerful families even more. Even when the country was in danger, they were all calculating their own interests and completely disregarding national security.

If she is lucky enough to survive this disaster, she will definitely kill all these villains in the future!

Unfortunately!

Now she is powerless...

At that moment, she missed Qin Chuan very much.

She didn't think Qin Chuan could help her, but as a woman, she also wanted her lover to be by her side to give her the sense of security she longed for...

however!

She couldn't get even these, she didn't want Qin Chuan to get into the current vortex...

Nangong Wan did not sleep all night, and her body felt as if it was filled with lead.

What made her even more desperate was that at noon the next day.

Xue Meihua and Sima Hui came to report that when the seven powerful families learned that she was going to sell the item, they all ordered all merchants not to buy it, otherwise they would be killed!

If the world were at peace, those merchants would definitely not dare to refuse to accept items from the royal family.

But now the mutiny in Xiliang City has been known to everyone in Qian Kingdom.

Seeing the opportunity to depose the emperor and establish a new one, the seven powerful families had long used their influence to let the people of Qian know that Qian was likely to change dynasties and fall into the hands of the seven powerful families.

Who would dare to become an enemy of the seven great clans for an emperor who is about to be replaced?

In the end, Nangong Wan didn't sell any of the things she wanted to sell.

If the military pay cannot be raised, wouldn't that mean Shen Yang would be allowed to disband the border defense forces of Xiliang City?

Allow enemy foreigners to enter Qian Country?

Nangong Wan looked at the gloomy sky and felt as if the sky was about to fall.

At this moment, Xue Meihua suddenly came forward to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Jiaoyang is here."

Hearing this person, Nangong Wan's pale expression became more red: "Hurry up and invite me in!"

Soon, a young woman with a rosy face and seductive breasts appeared in front of Nangong Wan.

Princess Jiaoyang is the adopted daughter of the late emperor. Even though Princess Jiaoyang does not know her gender, they were best playmates in childhood.

Even though Princess Jiaoyang had been married for many years and Nangong Wan was already the emperor, he still called her "Sister!"

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how can you call me sister anymore? Your Majesty, you can just call me Jiaoyang." Princess Jiaoyang hurriedly corrected.

Nangong Wan was helpless. Now that troubles were happening one after another, she had no intention of talking to her about her name. Now she just wanted the person she cared about to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible, which was a dangerous place.

Just as he was about to speak, Princess Jiaoyang ordered people to bring over three wooden boxes. She opened the boxes and saw that they were all silver.

Nangong Wan was shocked; "What is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is the 30,000 taels of silver that your brother-in-law collected for you. I was asked to send it to you from Ronghai City overnight to solve your worries about military pay." Princess Jiaoyang replied.

Nangong Wan felt a lump in her throat, and the long-lost feeling of family almost made her cry.

Just 30,000 taels of silver cannot solve the problem at all.

If I were forced to abdicate, I'm afraid the money would end up in the hands of others.

Princess Jiaoyang will now be retaliated by the seven powerful families for helping to raise military funds!

Nangong Wan didn't want the people who truly cared about her to get hurt, so she immediately analyzed the current situation to Princess Jiaoyang and asked her to leave as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to live and die with you."

After hearing this, Jiaoyang shed tears and vowed to follow Nangong Wan until death.

Nangong Wan sighed in her heart. If all the ministers and royal family members of Qian Kingdom were like Princess Jiaoyang, how could there be the current disaster?

In order to make her leave the imperial capital, Nangong Wan gave Blood Plum Blossom a look.

Xue Meihua understood what he meant and knocked Princess Jiaoyang unconscious. "Order the shadow guards to send her back to Ronghai City as quickly as possible and tell me that the matter of my brother-in-law raising military funds must not be leaked."

After saying this, Nangong Wan looked at Princess Jiaoyang reluctantly, and asked the shadow guard to take her and the silver away.

The arrival of Princess Jiaoyang made Nangong Wan seem like a ray of beautiful light in the gloomy sky.

But at nightfall, she truly fell into despair.

The commander of the Imperial Guard, Lian Shisheng, came to ask for a meeting.

This man was the younger brother of Lian Jiusheng, Nangong Wan's most trusted general, and also someone she trusted extremely, so she gave him the power of the Imperial Guard to guard the imperial city.

He was nine feet tall and extremely brave, with a pair of eagle-like eyes that were extremely sharp.

But after he arrived, he had no intention of kneeling, and directly told Nangong Wan: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother ordered me to inform you that the Imperial Guards are currently under her control. If you don't want foreign races to invade Qian Kingdom, you should give up your throne to the Seventh Prince Nangong Zhao!

He is the great-great-grandson of Taizu, of noble status, and possesses both moral integrity and talent. He is more suitable to be the emperor of our Qian Kingdom than you!"

As soon as this statement came out!

Nangong Wan's heart suddenly sank, and she almost yelled, "Lian Shisheng, you actually defected to the Queen Mother and betrayed me!"
