"Stop!" The empress said, and the dragon chariot that had been moving forward stopped directly.

The eunuchs and palace maids following around naturally stopped aside.

After the curtain, the empress did not speak for a long time. There was no joy or anger on her face, and there was a hint of contemplative expression between her eyebrows. What Wu Xukuan must have done today, which can be confirmed, but what will he do?

"Master, why not let's go back first." Kanglongji, on the left side of the dragon chariot, said, "I'm going to pass on the message now, saying, "Your Master, you're feeling the cold, and you'll be spared this morning..."

"Kang Gong..." The empress's voice came from behind the curtain. She called Kang Longji and was silent again. After a moment, she said again: "Can I bear him Wu Xukuan for a while, can I bear him for a lifetime? After repeated tolerance, what else can I leave besides being weak? All the civil and military officials in the court looked down on me, and they all felt that I was afraid of him Wu Xukuan. I bear it and endure it again and again. When will it be the end?"

There is a reason why Empress Shen Zhao was able to succeed the throne.

She has his own opinions. Although she attaches great importance to Kanglongi's opinions, she does not just nod her head, and from the words just now, she can also feel her respect for Kanglongi.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said so much.

Now the two have different opinions, she wants to convince Kang Longji!

In fact, what the Empress said makes sense.

Holding on to it again and again will only make more people look down on her, and more people will turn to Wu Xukuan.

Especially today, it's very special!

Previously, Wu Xukuan led a large number of important officials in the court to report their illness and fail to attend the court. After finally reaching the dynasty, Wu Xukuan's illness was cured directly. The empress must not be "ill" at this time, otherwise, it would have become a big joke. How afraid of Wu Xukuan is that she is so?

She is the emperor!

I fear Wu Xukuan as a minister is like a tiger. If this continues, she might as well give the country to Wu Xukuan directly. Anyway, it will be a matter of time.

However, Kanglongi's meaning is not without reason.

It was obvious that Wu Xukuan was going to cause trouble today, but he had to hit him hard, and he had to hit him with blood. Although he seemed weak, he was still a slowdown.

This matter is justified when the mother says it is right, and the mother says it is right.

However, Kanglongi did not further try to convince the empress. He wanted to cultivate the empress into a decisive emperor, rather than a puppet who obeyed his own orders.

Moreover, Wu Xukuan's 100,000 Chuanhe Army is still in Gaoyang County, dozens of miles away from Qianjing City. No matter how big the matter is today, the empress will not do anything.

"Get it done." Kanglongi finally said only these two words.

*******

In Fengtian Hall, when the bell of the court rang, the princes and ministers who had been lined up outside the hall walked into the hall without any rushing momentum from the south gate. At the same time, the empress walked into the east gate of Fengtian Hall, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and walked up the steps, climbed to the high platform, and finally sat on the dragon throne on the high platform.

Kang Longji and Zhou An followed the empress. When the empress sat down, Zhou An stood behind the empress, while Kang Longji was on the right front, with both of them holding dust on their hands.

In the vast hall with a very high roof, only more than a hundred princes and ministers came in line, which was more than when the Changgong Dynasty was held. The rest of the officials from Qianjing City were listed outside the gate.

Zhou An was very high, so he could see far away. He could see that the dark outside the gate was full of people.

"Go to court." Kanglongi took a step forward and made a statement.

"I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor!" The civil and military officials in the court fell to the ground and saluted the empress. But at the beginning, a minister knelt on one knee, and made a kneeling posture very coping, and then stood up directly.

It's Wu Xukuan!

This is the first time Zhou An has seen Wu Xukuan with his own eyes, including Xiao Anzi before, and he has never seen Wu Xukuan with his own eyes.

"All the ministers are calm." The empress proclaimed.

"Thank you, the emperor." Except for Wu Xukuan, everyone else expressed their gratitude and stood up in scattered ways. Many people noticed Zhou An. After all, there was one more person around the empress, so it was impossible not to pay attention.

Although the empress usually attends court, there are many palace maids and eunuchs who come with him. Not only did the palace maids, they just said that those eunuchs were the empress's chief followers or regular attendants. They would not follow the empress to the high platform, but scattered everywhere in Fengtian Hall and guarded by various gates.

Only Kanglongi can walk onto the stage with the empress.

But today, there is an eunuch who looks young.

Most people don’t know who this little eunuch is, but some of them know.

There was no one whispering to the morning court, but after many people noticed Zhou An, they looked at the ministers around them.

"If there is a memorial, there is no memorial." Kanglongi announced again.

The Fengtian Palace suddenly fell into a dead silence! The atmosphere suddenly became extremely depressing for some reason! Some princes and ministers lowered their heads and even looked like they didn't dare to breathe. This was very strange.

However, the suppressed silence did not last long, and someone soon broke it.

"I have a memorial, I have a memorial." Wu Xukuan stepped forward and looked straight at the empress with his head.

When the ministers made a report, they would always bend over and walk out of the queue, face the emperor, bow and bow down and talk. They should not look up at the emperor, otherwise they would be disrespectful, but these rules were not reflected in Wu Xukuan.

He walked out and raised his head to talk to the empress.

"Come on." The empress also looked directly at Wu Xukuan and said majestic.

Kanglongi had already moved down the steps. The ministers started to write a commentary. Kanglongi needed to go down, took the commentary, and walked up and handed it over to the empress.

"I have not prepared a memorial, can I tell you orally?" Wu Xukuan said.

Kanglongi, who had not yet walked down, stopped directly.

"Accurate!" said the empress.

Can the Empress say no?

Of course, it can! But that doesn't make sense. Wu Xukuan wants to tell the story. The empress said it was not possible, and he could still tell the story. If the empress stopped drinking, he would dare to confront him. Then he had a big fight. He could not block Wu Xukuan's mouth. He could still say everything he wanted to say.

This happened, but the consequence was that Wu Xukuan or said that the empress quarreled with him and lost her dignity.

So, if he wants to tell the words, let him say it.

"Three hundred and seventy-two years ago, Emperor Taizu established the country Dongqian. At this point, the throne was passed down to 19 generations, and the first 17 generations were all passed down to the father and son, and the son and grandson. Only by the eighteenth generations, Empress Xiaodu planned to usurp the throne, seized the imperial power, and was called the Shendu, and became emperor for more than ten years..." The opening remarks of what Wu Xukuan reported was a shocking sound!

He actually started to attack the Queen of Goddess!

A buzzing sound instantly inside and outside the hall, and many people were frightened and subconsciously made a sound.

Emperor Shen Zhao's face changed drastically, and he wanted to say something, but Wu Xukuan shook his voice up violently, suppressing all the noise: "However! Empress Xiaodu is an unparalleled talent. Although she is not from the blood of the Wu family, she has not received the will of Shizong to abdicate. She is unreasonable and cannot succeed to the Grand Priest. However, her reign for more than ten years, her country has not changed, and the world has risen to peace, and all countries have come to the tribute. This is a prosperous era. Empress Xiaodu passed on the throne to her eldest daughter of Emperor Shizong and restored the Wu family's imperial power. It is considered to be a merit and demerit. I will not go into it in depth."

Many people were confused at this moment. Wu Xukuan first said that the Empress of the God Capital was usurping the throne and ascending the throne was unreasonable and legal, but he also recognized the Empress of the God Capital and recognized that this country belonged to the Wu family.

What exactly does Wu Xukuan want to say?

"But..." Wu Xukuan paused and said again: "Since Empress Xiaodu was seriously ill and bedridden until her death, Donggan has caused constant natural and man-made disasters in recent years. First, there were severe droughts in the north, and then rivers in the south flooded the people and the people were suffering. In the past two years, there were even more bold and reckless people who took advantage of the chaos to rebel, gathered hundreds of thousands of refugees and plundered more than ten counties in the south. Although they were later suppressed, the cracks had already arisen and were difficult to calm down."

"Last October, the southern Fujian Province suffered a locust plague, and the food was not harvested. The refugees plagued many prefectures along the border, intercepted and killed large households and attacked the county towns, but they still couldn't eat enough. Even the horrific incident of Yizi eating each other was a tragedy."

"At the beginning of this year, Ganbei Province encountered a century-long extreme cold, and the people died of starvation, with hundreds of thousands of people. Nine out of ten counties and counties were empty. Although the court allocated funds to provide disaster relief, there were countless borers in the court and layers of greed. The court used millions of taels of silver to provide disaster relief, but not many people were saved."

"In March, the Zhuhe River broke its dam again, destroying more than 200 villages and counties. All the surrounding counties were affected, and the corpses were floating thousands of miles away. The court was willing to provide disaster relief, but the national treasury was empty, and the disaster relief food was insufficient and there was almost no effect."

"At this time, the world is like a purgatory on earth. The land of Zhongzhou has always been rich and has not yet suffered. However, outside Zhongzhou, the world is suffering. In the court, the government is extremely chaotic and corrupt, as many as rats in the granary. Outside the court, there are thousands of miles of naked land, starving and killing people everywhere. There are green forests in the rivers and lakes that cause trouble while taking advantage of the chaos, and killing wealthy officials to eat, but this is just an internal worry and external trouble! The northern Yirong Kingdom has repeatedly invaded the border in recent years, and the small vassal states in the southwest no longer pay tribute, and the intention is obvious. Today, the east hall is in trouble with internal and external troubles, and there are already buildings that are about to collapse. If there is no saint, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and the country will not be in power!"

"Master!" Wu Xukuan's long speech was not over yet, and he suddenly stepped forward to speed up his speech. "Empress Xiaodu usurped the throne, but his talent and the country have not changed its territory and will not be held accountable. Since Empress Xiaodu was passed down to you, our ministers should help you. You are the legitimate daughter of Shizong. Although the throne is passed down to men but not women, your successor to the grand throne is contrary to the ancestral system, if you have the talent of Empress Xiaodu, you can turn the tide and turn the tide, and you will not have any criticism!"

"But! You don't have the talent of Empress Xiaodun!"

Wu Xukuan suddenly increased his voice, "Although you are full of knowledge, you have not understood the sufferings of the people. You have been ascended to the throne for several months, and you have not seen any results. Although you are still young and you have just ascended the throne, you can forgive me for your helplessness. You will grow up. You can also wait for you to be reborn and become a famous sage! But! This country cannot wait for you! This world cannot wait for you! This world is about to end! If you cannot save the people of the world from water and fire! How can you have the face to sit on the high hall, and how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Donggan royal family?"

"You!!!" Emperor Shen Zhao suddenly stood up from the dragon throne.

"I'm brave!" Wu Xukuan's voice instantly became like a loud bell, like thunder, "Please abdicate and give way to the wise! The throne of the Wu clan is capable, and the world is dominated by water and fire!"

After Wu Xukuan said that, he knelt heavily on one knee and lowered his head!

"I dare to abdicate, please abdicate and give in to the wise!" In the hall, all the civil and military officials fell to their knees in groups.

"I dare to abdicate, please abdicate and give in to the wise!" Outside the hall, people were also kneeling on the ground in black.

Please abdicate the Empress!

The sound is like a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis, one wave higher than another!

The empress stood on the high platform and looked at the kneeling court officials below, her face pale.
Chapter completed!
