Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!
Chapter 183 The imperial commander’s personal expedition
In the Golden Palace, Zhao Changlin sat on the dragon throne.
She was holding a thin memorial in her hand, but the distance was a little far, so the ministers couldn't see clearly who had submitted the memorial.
"Your Majesty, the army of the Loyal and Brave Marquis has been fighting the bandits at Bailong Mountain Pass for a long time, and now they can no longer hold on. I think that Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to wipe out the bandits! We must take the initiative and capture the leader first!"
"Your Majesty! I second the motion!"
Four or five officials stepped out at the same time. They had serious expressions on their faces and spoke righteously, with a hint of pressure on them.
Ever since King Wen was imprisoned, Jinzhou City has been on the verge of collapse. Many local people in Jinzhou no longer believe that Jinzhou City is still a safe place, and many wealthy families have moved away one after another.
The land, farmland and shops outside the current Zhou city are being sold off at a severe rate.
How could these bigwigs who controlled the good fields, villas and shops not be anxious? They were probably so anxious that they couldn't sleep all night and even had blisters on their lips.
These officials naturally did not know why Longya Village went down the mountain, but Zhao Changlin knew it clearly. Zhi Yuandu explained it to him before leaving.
However, it is not a bad thing for these people to threaten me with high momentum. As the saying goes, "killing with a borrowed knife" and "pushing the boat with the current" require a certain environment created by others.
As the saying goes, nothing comes easy, but you can still find it no matter how hard you try. While the crane and the clam fight, the fisherman gains.
"I already know about this. Do you have anyone to recommend this time? Can you defeat the bandits?"
These words were rather strange, and for a moment countless ministers were stunned, not knowing how to respond.
Suppressing bandits is not a difficult task. How can the bandits in the mountains be compared with the barbarian cavalry? In terms of physique, weapons, and brutality, they are not comparable in any way.
"Your Majesty, the Daliang Dynasty has so many talented people, why worry about not being able to send a military commander?"
"Won't this make the whole world laugh at us?"
When the civil servants saw that their chance to shine had come, they immediately submitted memorials one after another. They were not fools and now was the time to unite against foreign enemies. There was no need to engage in all these infighting.
By then, Jinzhou City will experience another crisis, and no one will be able to bear the huge loss. The last time Xu's army attacked, they reached the city wall of Jinzhou City.
Their villa and shop in the suburbs had already lost a lot of food, and the vegetable fields had been completely destroyed.
One or two vegetable leaves are really nothing, but when they accumulate, it becomes a lot and anyone can’t help but feel sad.
But while speaking Mandarin, they were wondering in their hearts who was more suitable to go to the front line and attack the bandits in Longya Village.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let General Zhou go?"
"The fact that we defeated Xu's army by the Yong River that day, if this reputation gets out, those ragtag bandits might be scared to death!"
Although this person's words are a bit rough, his logic is not rough at all.
Several civil servants nodded. Besides, Zhou Dun's Moxi Army was still stationed outside Jinzhou City. After they withdrew, the military pay would be allocated by the national treasury, and they would not have to transport food nearby.
Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
"Well, my dear ministers, what you said is correct. Let's do it this way."
Zhao Changlin knew clearly that if he announced to these old men at this moment that he was about to leave and lead the army in person, they would definitely not agree.
And it's not the right time yet, it's too early to set off now.
At least he had to wait until Lu Boshan evacuated from Bailongshan Pass, recruited soldiers in several prefectures along the way, and turned his guns to Xizhou City. Then he would lead the army to block his last exit.
She has sent King Cheng to guard Xizhou City. Even though King Cheng is Zhao Yihan's father, Zhao Changlin is still very wary of him. As the saying goes, you can guard against a thief day and night, but you can never guard against a thief in your own home.
Who knows what happens next?
Therefore, Zhao Changlin did not give a verbal promise, but directly granted Xizhou City to King Cheng. This step was indeed risky.
What if King Cheng wants both and refuses to send troops, but also wants the fiefdom of Xizhou City? Wouldn't that mean Zhao Changlin's efforts would be in vain?
However, Zhao Changlin had already anticipated that this situation was the worst, so even if Lu Boshan did not intend to go to Xizhou City, she would force Lu Boshan to go in the direction of Xizhou City.
The final battle will be decided here.
From now on, no one in the entire Daliang Dynasty would dare to go against her. These people would be manipulated by her and defeated one by one.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"We, the ministers, will naturally follow your Majesty's orders!"
She had heard too many such nice empty words and now she no longer took them to heart.
Zhao Changlin placed her fingertips on the palm of her hand. After the battle in Xizhou City, she wanted to meet Xia Zhiyuanyi in person and bring some gifts with her.
She has everything in the world, including gold, silver, jade, pearls and gems. Zhao Changlin and Zhi Yuan are both good at it.
Therefore, a vague idea began to take shape in Zhao Changlin's mind. She has always been like this. As long as she wants to do something, she will do it.
There will be no delay.
Zhao Changlin thought about announcing his love to the world with his phoenix crown and bridal robe, but as soon as this idea came to his mind, she immediately cut it off.
There is no other reason.
People in high positions are bound to be targeted, not to mention that he has always rejected the requests of court officials to "continue his descendants and strengthen the royal family". If he pushes Xia Zhiyuan to the forefront at this time, the effect will be counterproductive.
The number of people who want to know the essence of life and death will increase like a tide, so now is not the time.
She had to wait a little longer, wait a little longer, until the situation was stable enough, until these demons and monsters could no longer cause trouble.
In the past, Zhao Changlin could not understand why his mother, who was already the queen mother of the world, was still depressed and tried every means to escape from the palace.
But now, she seemed to understand why her mother wanted to leave. For the servants, the palace was like a birdcage, imprisoning others' lives and freedom.
But for her, this city is a symbol of power and also a symbol of the restriction of freedom.
Well, you can't have your cake and eat it too. When you do anything, you have to make choices and take risks. If you are greedy, you will lose both, like a monkey trying to catch the moon.
"Your Majesty, have you really decided?"
"If Your Majesty wishes to leave the palace, then I can rule the country from behind the curtain and handle the affairs of the court on Your Majesty's behalf, and leave the trivial matters of the harem to Concubine De and Concubine Xian."
Looking at Zhao Changlin who was sitting opposite her and was in deep thought, the Queen Mother spoke first to break the deadlock between the two.
Holding the warm teacup in his hand, Zhao Changlin nodded slightly and replied with a chuckle, "Yes, Queen Mother, don't worry. I will be back soon."
