Chapter 947 The Queen’s Dilemma
call……
The beautiful queen stood behind the document. The broad dragon robe in front of her heart was rising and falling violently, and her breathing became rapid and heavy.
She gritted her silver teeth tightly, and her phoenix eyes were full of anger.
I wish I could send out pursuers immediately, capture all the traitors, and execute them all in front of everyone!
In addition to being angry, the beautiful queen suddenly felt a soreness all over her body, coming like a tidal wave, one after another, her forehead swollen, getting worse and worse, as if her head was about to explode.
The figure of Zhong Shengnan in front of him also became trance-like, as if he had a double image.
"His Majesty!"
Zhong Shengnan and the female officer exclaimed in unison,
Seeing this, the female officer next to her quickly stepped forward to support the staggering beauty queen, and said with nervous fear, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"
When she saw the elixir placed on the document, she took the initiative to pick it up, handed it to the Queen's mouth, and said persuadingly, "The Tutor once said that if your Majesty feels unwell and has a splitting headache, he should take it immediately.
Here is the elixir, Your Majesty, please take the elixir."
The beautiful queen frowned and endured the severe pain in her head. She looked at the round pill in front of her. After a moment of hesitation, she opened her small mouth containing the pill and swallowed it.
Remember http://m in one second.
The elixir melted instantly in her mouth, and the feeling of coolness made the queen unconsciously raise her long, snow-white neck, letting the coolness flow down her throat.
Immediately, this cool feeling began to flow throughout the body, quickly suppressing the symptoms of soreness and splitting headache.
The beautiful queen regained her composure and murmured repressedly, "What a miraculous pill. Only this one can cure the symptoms that even the imperial doctors are helpless to cure!"
She was in a trance, and she had not experienced such clarity of mind for a long time.
"Master Taifu's medical skills are extraordinary and his rejuvenation skills are wonderful. The pills he gave must also be extraordinary. It's a pity..."
The female officer hesitated to speak and glanced in Zhong Shengnan's direction.
The beautiful queen slowly retracted her arms and stood firm on her own. She also glanced at Zhong Shengnan, feeling extremely clear in her heart.
She knew that the precious medicine that brought Zhong Shengnan back to life was the treasure that could truly cure her.
It's a pity that this kind of medicine has already saved Zhong Shengnan's life and will never happen again.
I'm afraid that this elixir can relieve her pain, but it will only last for a period of time, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
But she didn't have any resentment about it.
Zhong Shengnan was loyal and had saved her countless times. At the beginning of the late emperor's death, there were many people who wanted to kill her throughout Dachu.
It was Zhong Shengnan who almost died several times to protect her.
That precious medicine is worth giving!
I just don’t know how much time and energy the Taifu spent in picking this precious medicine, and I don’t know how many hardships he went through.
She has not experienced any suffering, but she is putting the Taifu's hard work on others. I am afraid that the Taifu is also extremely unwilling to do this, and it can even be said to be sad, right?
When the beautiful queen thought of this, her lips could not help but tighten. The guilt in her heart was like a wave, one after another, and could not subside for a long time.
"Master Taifu is truly a god!"
As a personal bodyguard, Zhong Shengnan naturally knew about Her Majesty the Queen's hidden illness. When he saw that the elixir given by the Grand Tutor could relieve Her Majesty's splitting headache, his admiration in his heart increased even more.
This Grand Tutor not only helped her survive, but also suppressed Her Majesty's hidden illness.
She owes more and more favors!
The beautiful queen nodded slowly and praised in soft words, "It is truly God's blessing that Da Chu has such a divine person as the Grand Tutor..."
She still wanted to say something, but she realized that her statement seemed to be taking advantage of the ambiguity of Taifu's sincerity, so she immediately closed her mouth.
She doesn't allow outsiders to tarnish the Taifu, so naturally she can't belittle him herself!
After calming down, the beautiful queen ordered with a calm but unquestionable voice, "The rebels have escaped. Although the guards at the city gate are loyal, they are also responsible for their poor supervision. Each cane is twenty, and the eunuchs in the palace will execute it.
"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhong Shengnan bowed and thanked the city gate guards. The weakest ones were in the realm of military commanders. With twenty sticks, they were still executed by eunuchs. It was just a verbal warning.
This combination of kindness and power will not only make the guards feel resentful, but will also make them grateful for His Majesty's tolerance and generosity.
"These remnants of the Qing King, who are cunning and cunning, are hiding in the Chu army. From now on, they will be dismissed from all positions and put on a comprehensive arrest warrant, regardless of life or death!
If you hunt down a remnant of the Qing King, you can get a thousand gold coins!"
The beautiful queen ordered in a cold voice, whether these rebel generals were the remnants of the Qing King or not, they had already been identified from the moment they fled.
Only by labeling them as the remnants of the Qingwang can they convince the public. Otherwise, why would any generals in the army defect?
The suspicion caused by this reason alone will cause people to panic.
"My subordinates have the order!"
Zhong Shengnan responded with cupped fists, then pondered for a while, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, while capturing King Qing's remnants, my subordinates accidentally discovered that disasters have occurred frequently in Dachu these days!
The ministers in the court have always concealed the truth, red worms are raging, locust plagues are frequent, and the crops in many people's fields have been destroyed!
The household tax is about to be collected. With this reduction in farmland production, once the household tax is collected, many people will inevitably complain.
Moreover, those generals who escaped from the city have become lost here and are afraid that they will defect to King Wu directly..."
There are some words that even Zhong Shengnan, who is a personal guard, does not dare to say more and just points out.
But when the beautiful queen heard this, her expression trembled, and she sat slumped on the dragon chair in a daze, her beautiful eyes full of fear.
King Wu?
It’s actually King Wu!
Remove the fuel from the cauldron,
What a cruel method!
Those military generals fled not because they wanted to take the opportunity to rob wealthy merchants, but because they wanted to extract a large amount of money from the Imperial City of Dachu.
By then, even if the royal family raises military supplies, it will not be able to do so.
The collection of household tax will also be greatly reduced due to frequent disasters.
The royal family of Dachu was already empty. In the national war a year ago, their muscles and bones were injured. Before they could recover, would they suffer such a blow again?
If King Wu raised his troops to attack at this time, how would she collect military supplies?
Imposing a household tax will cause public dissatisfaction and lose people's support. Even she can't do anything about it.
But if there is no household tax, where will the military supplies come from?
What is placed in front of the beautiful queen is like a dead chess game, and even she cannot make it work.
I am afraid that one or a few of the high-ranking ministers in the court have been bribed by King Wu.
Only this reason can explain why this huge disaster has been concealed until now.
