At this time, in the magnificent main hall of the royal palace.
Carved beams and painted pillars, golden dragons dancing in the air, the atmosphere was majestic!
A woman wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head sat high on the dragon throne.
She was the Empress of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, but she had already been in power for eight years!
In these eight years, she had fully displayed her talent as an Empress, governing the kingdom in an orderly manner, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the kingdom becoming stronger and stronger.
So much so that the people of Eastern Tang all called the Empress Empress, and even the civil and military officials did not mention the Empress in private, only the Empress.
And the king, Xu Que, had become an invisible person, no one cared about him, no one mentioned him.
From this, it could be seen how tight the Empress' control over her authority was.
But no matter how much the Empress knew how to govern, no matter how prosperous the Eastern Tang was, it was still a small kingdom at the border.
Eight years was far from enough for a small kingdom to grow into a giant, not to mention the occasional invasion of a large kingdom.
Two years ago, the largest kingdom of the Nine Provinces, Qin, launched an expedition to unify the world.
After two years of conquest, only Eastern Tang and Fengyu Kingdom were left, and because of their remote locations, they had not been ruled yet.
But the officials were still in a state of anxiety.
Today's court meeting was mainly to discuss the matter of this expedition.
The officials all remonstrated, but no matter what they said, the Empress did not have any reaction.
"Strange … why is the Empress not reacting?"
"Could it be that she has fallen asleep? That can't be … "
"I heard that the Empress returned to Fengyu Kingdom a few days ago, I'm afraid that she already has a plan."
The officials discussed, but did not dare to speak loudly, afraid that they would alarm the wise Empress on the throne.
Xuanyuan Wanrong sat on the Dragon Throne, her face hidden behind the phoenix coronet bead curtain as she quietly pondered.
After listening for so long, she had basically understood her situation.
The Empress of a generation had a good-for-nothing husband, and while there were no internal problems, there were serious external problems.
To put it simply, if she did not do anything, this kingdom would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
What Xuanyuan Wanrong did not expect was that she would actually be dragged into this training.
"King Xu Que? That guy came into my place? "
Xuanyuan Wanrong furrowed her brows. Logically speaking, everyone should have entered a different light screen, so why were the two of them together?
Could it be the influence of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi?
Or could it be that Xu Que undid the restriction at the last moment and was dragged into this?
After sorting out her thoughts, Xuanyuan Wanrong straightened her back slightly and emitted an indescribable aura.
She was an outstanding disciple of the Heaven Palace Sect and the One Chosen by Heaven. She had been in a high position for a long time, so it wasn't difficult for her to control the position of an Emperor.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Just as she was about to speak, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall.
The Emperor?
Xuanyuan Wanrong's gaze slightly sunk. She had previously learnt from the mouths of the ministers that this Eastern Tang Kingdom's King, Xu Que, was a fatuous ruler who did not see the big picture, was frivolous and had no talent whatsoever.
His temperament was exactly the same as that fellow.
At this moment, she had already thought it through. Later, she would find a place to exile that fellow, so that he wouldn't be a hindrance by her side.
At this time, the ministers were also bewildered, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Did I hear it wrong? The Emperor has come to the court meeting? "
"Good heavens! The Emperor is finally willing to participate in the court affairs!"
"Hush … have you forgotten what happened eight years ago when the Emperor was in charge of the court affairs?"
Although Xu Que Jr was fatuous, among the officials, there were still some old and stubborn people who insisted on the orthodoxy in their hearts and silently supported the royal family. At this time, there were naturally some who were happy and some who were worried.
The voice outside the hall came from afar, but hearing this voice, the ministers all frowned.
"I'm not afraid! I'm the Emperor, how could I be afraid of a woman? "
"Get lost! Don't stop me! "
"I'm warning you, don't stop me. Now I'm going to take back the imperial power that I've lost. If you dare to stop me, I'll chop off your head!"
"What? The Imperial Jade Seal is with the Empress, and only she can give orders? That's unacceptable! Today, I'm going to restore the authority of the husband! "
The ministers all looked at each other in dismay.
They could already tell that the person outside was the Emperor who hadn't appeared in court for eight years.
But the problem was, when did the Emperor become so arrogant?
Although Xu Que had always done some rebellious actions, in reality, when he saw the Empress, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, turning his head and running away, unable to avoid her.
At most, he would only privately say some harsh words, never daring to face her head on.
The ministers of the Eastern Tang Kingdom were already used to it. Suddenly hearing such arrogant words, their hearts were shocked.
"What's wrong with the Emperor?"
"It's over, the Emperor has gone crazy, quickly call the imperial physician!"
"Am I dreaming? Is the Emperor so brave today? "
Amidst the discussions of the ministers, a young face appeared in the hall, an unruly smile on his face, his gait extremely arrogant.
That was their Emperor, Xu Que!
Behind Xu Que, the young man who had been standing at the top of the wall, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Gong Qiwei, followed in awkwardly, cupping his hands to his colleagues from time to time.
The surrounding officials all looked at Gong Qiwei with a strange expression, signaling him with their eyes.
What's going on? Has the Emperor gone crazy?
Gong Qiwei was sweating profusely, waving his hands repeatedly, his heart full of bitterness.
You're asking me if I've gone crazy?
How the hell would I know!
I just wanted to bring the Emperor back, but who knew that he would suddenly arrogantly head straight for the main hall!
I couldn't even stop him!
Xu Que walked among the ministers, his face brimming with a confident smile.
Although there was no way to use true essence here, he was still a Great Principle Golden Immortal, the current Emperor.
There was nothing wrong with being a little arrogant.
He quickly came to the side of the dragon throne, looking down at the seated Empress, a warm smile on his face, "My dear Empress, I have already awakened, it's time to return the throne to me."
He had already thought it through. After he drove the Empress away, he would lead the army to the north, conquer the feudal vassals, and establish a peerless dynasty.
In the end, he would successfully pass the test of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, become an immortal, and fly away, leaving behind an incomparable legend.
Just thinking about it made him feel very cool!
The Empress didn't seem to care about his words, and lightly said, "Are you sure?"
Huh?
Why does the voice sound a little familiar?
Xu Que was stunned, and raised his hand to grab the Empress's phoenix coronet.
Seeing this scene, the ministers were all stunned.
The Emperor was so brave today!
He actually dared to provoke the Empress in public!
"Empress, we haven't seen each other for so long, I really miss you … Holy shit!"
Before he could finish speaking, a cry of surprise suddenly reverberated in the hall.
Xu Que looked at the familiar face in front of him in horror, "You're the Empress?"
Under the phoenix coronet, it was surprisingly Xuanyuan Wanrong!
He saw her slowly raise her head, her face as cold as ice, "Why can't it be me? But you … Why are you also here? "
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning across Xu Que's mind.
Only then did he react.
At the last moment, he did enter the same illusion as Xuanyuan Wanrong.
After two seconds of silence, Xu Que turned around and left.
"Sorry for disturbing you, goodbye!"
"…"
The ministers nodded slightly.
Hmm … This is the feeling, the Emperor is not crazy!
