With the death of Ye Yuntian, the great enemy of Zhou, the black blood country fell to an absolute disadvantage in terms of high-end combat power, and the balance of the whole southern region was completely broken.
Any ambitious emperor of Zhou Dynasty is unlikely to miss this opportunity to settle in the southern region.
Of course, Zhou Lihua is no exception!
Her desire is stronger than that of an ordinary emperor.
If you want to fight the whole southern region, you can't rely on the Zhou family alone. You must involve all the aristocratic families of the whole Zhou state.
The first thing Zhou had to deal with was, of course, the black blood country, whose national strength was no less than that of Zhou.
The success or failure of the battle against the black blood country directly affects the overall situation of the unification of the southern region of the state of Zhou, and the whole state of Zhou, what makes Zhou Lihua most confident is Xu Sheng!
If we can really defeat the black blood country and lay a solid foundation for the unification of the southern region of Zhou, Zhou Lihua is absolutely willing to make Xu Sheng king and take him as a benchmark to attract more talents to work for Zhou.
Zhou Lihua reactivated Xu Sheng and prepared to fight against the black blood country. The ministers of the whole court began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the war for the country, families and clan forces, and whether they should support or oppose it, participate in it, or sit on the sidelines.
It is obvious from the analysis results that the night sky of the black blood country is dead, and the bloody demon knife has fallen into the hands of the Zhou emperor. With the national jade seal and the red blood sword, the high-end combat power of Zhou is in an absolute advantage!
And the black blood country, since the battle of Nanyun country, the whole black dragon army has been destroyed by half... Plus the fact that Duke Xu personally led the army, their Zhou country has no chance of winning!
They are also eager for the benefits brought by the victory of the war!
Zhou Lihua looked at the ministers and asked, "what do you think of launching a war against the black blood country?"
"I seconded!"
"I seconded!"
"I seconded!"
“……”
"That's good!" Zhou Lihua looked at Xu Sheng kneeling in front of her and said, "Duke Xu, please accept the war against the black blood country. If you can really destroy the black blood country, I promise to make you king!"
The whole hall suddenly roared!
They stared at the queen sitting on the Dragon chair, and some doubted that their ears were auditory hallucinations!
Even Xu Sheng raised his head and looked at Zhou Lihua.
Zhou Lihua knew that they would have this expression. The state of Zhou has not been granted a king with a different surname for hundreds of years.
"In this war, I will not be stingy to award rewards to those who have performed prominently!"
The eyes of many courtiers were red.
Generals in the army are ecstatic, and civil servants with good martial arts cultivation are considering whether to apply to join the army
"There is one more thing you need to discuss!" After the courtiers quieted down, Zhou Lihua said slowly, "I have decided to withdraw the power of the counties to execute prisoners at or above the congenital level. That is, if there are prisoners at or above the congenital level who need to be executed in the territory of the state of Zhou, and all places have no power to execute them, these prisoners need to be sent to the capital for unified execution... Do you have any opinion?"
Prime Minister Qin Zhensheng asked, "Your Majesty, this matter involves the escort of prisoners along the way. I want to ask, what is your majesty doing?"
"Half a month ago, Yuan Peng, the Lord of lishuo city in Jiashao County, was killed all over the house. Did all the ministers here know about it?"
Qin Zhensheng replied, "I know, but hasn't the murderer Ye Bing been caught?"
"But do you know ye Bing's real identity?" Zhou Lihua asked pointedly.
"Please speak clearly, your majesty!"
"In fact, ye Bing's real name is not ye Bing. His real name is Dong Wu. As early as two years ago, because he lost the martial arts contest, he was in a bad mood, slaughtered 360 people in a village, and a congenital master who was sentenced to death by the Sheriff of Jiashao County!"
"Pa!" Zhou Lihua slapped a hand on the Dragon chair, which scared countless ministers!
Zhou Lihua has been on the throne for nearly 30 years, and few people have seen her get so angry!
She stared at the ministers below with cold eyes and asked, "but what's the result? People were executed and reported for the record, but what's the result? Two years later, people came back to life and killed a city master man men... Tell me, why is this?"
These courtiers standing on the hall, in fact, more or less of their families have taken in some capable masters who have caused trouble and sought refuge from them.
However, if the nature is too bad, they certainly dare not take in.
Most of them guessed Dong Wu's situation.
Congenital masters are extremely valuable in the eyes of all major forces. The congenital death row prisoners captured by the state of Zhou also have value. Some forces will contact these death row prisoners first. If these death row prisoners are willing to work for them, they may use some illegal means to swap these death row prisoners out
In the whole southern region, the laws of major countries are quite strange. They don't care about the fighting between fighters and the fighting between clans, families and gangs. As long as no one reports, they won't take care of it. Even if they report it, they will be perfunctory. However, officials can hardly tolerate any officials involved in the mass murder of civilians by fighters and endangering the country!
"I have received a secret report from the Commissioner of heaven. In all counties, there are many prisoners of innate strength who have violated the death penalty. They were secretly bribed by some rogue forces to the prison guards or the sheriff to swap out. These people were swapped out, changed their face, and continued to be at large. I will never allow this situation to continue!" Zhou Lihua said positively, "these masters with criminal records gathered around those forces, which is bound to cause great hidden dangers to the stability of the whole country, so I want to withdraw all the execution rights above the level of congenital masters. What do you think of the prime minister?"
"I seconded!"
"I seconded!"
“……”
Concerning the law of the state of Zhou, no one dares to disobey Zhou Lihua's order in this regard.
After the early Dynasty, Zhou Lihua asked Jiang Qinyu to expand the surveillance of heaven, and began to prepare for the war of Zhou!
"If possible, I want to unify the whole southern region!"
For her confidant, Zhou Lihua did not reserve, and directly spoke out her ambition.
"Understand, your majesty, the maid will certainly do her best to help your majesty!"
War is the war that Chen Hao is most interested in. To be honest, he really wants Zhou Lihua to intervene.
In the whole southern region, Zhou state and black blood state are the strongest. If there is a war between the two countries, the scale of the war is absolutely unprecedented!
It's not too much for two countries to lose millions of troops in a war of life and death!
After Jiang Qinyu left, Zhou Lihua thought for a moment and ordered someone to take some precious sword casting materials from the treasure house. Then she saw with her own eyes how the Red Blood Sword swallowed up those sword casting materials.
"Is that enough?"
Chen Hao sighed and said, "it's not enough to stuff my teeth. Why don't you take me to the treasure house?"
Zhou Lihua hesitated and nodded in agreement.
