Chapter 457

“I am willing to share the Emperor’s worries.” The ministers at the bottom conformed in unison.

“Well, not bad, I am relieved to hear you guys say this, just now I was worried that you guys would not come to a collective request for me to listen to the advice of the Great Yue Kingdom to abolish the Empress, now it seems that there is no need to worry about it.”

The following courtiers looked at each other in dismay, they originally had this intention, just before they could implement it, they were interrupted by Baili Junyi’s words. They were trying to think of a way out when suddenly they heard him continue:

“I was also thinking that if you all collectively ask for an order, what should be done then? Is to listen to your abolition of the Queen, or for the Queen to abolish you. Although I haven’t officially held a queen sealing ceremony for the empress yet, but the empress has paid a lot for me, and even more so, she has conceived three heirs for me, and moreover, she has saved my life many times, plus when I was in exile, thanks to the empress’ acceptance of her, since this is the case, then I cannot fail the empress by any means.”

Baili Junyi narrowed his eyes:

“If all the beloved ministers insist on asking for orders, then I will have to fail you. Luckily, the Secretaries of Love are all men of understanding and know the wolfish ambitions of the Great Yue State. They are clearly trying to alienate the feelings of our monarchs and ministers through this matter, you are all the backbone of the Da An Kingdom, ah, if I were to question all of you, then wouldn’t the Da An Kingdom be in chaos, and then, how would the Da Yue Kingdom retreat their troops? They will definitely take this opportunity to attack Kyoto in one fell swoop, and by then, the country will be in danger!”

Hearing this, what could the ministers not understand. The emperor was praising them on the surface, but in reality, he was implying to them that even if he abolished all the ministers in the court, he would definitely not abolish the empress, so if they were to collectively ask for an order, they would have to be better prepared to take off their black hats and lose their lives. At that time, not only would the Emperor not adopt their opinions, but he would also turn around and say that they had been subjected to the Great Vietnam’s stratagem of disassociation, and that their efforts were not pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that they all understood his meaning, the coldness around Baili Junyi receded slightly:

“Dear ministers, Da An and Da Yue have been in strife for many years, the northwest border is in turmoil, mostly because of Da Yue’s deliberate provocations, now, Da Yue sees that my Da An is suffering from snowstorms and the people are unstable, and maliciously provokes a war, is there no iron-blooded generals, no brawny soldiers, and no iron-blooded people in my Da An country? Although I have just ascended to the throne, I have sworn to defend the peace of the people of Da An. You guys should not go back today, and think hard here about how you can win this war without delaying the disaster relief!”

Looked at the chamberlain will pen and ink up, once again closed the door of the Chengqian Hall, all the ministers in the heart of the sigh, and then each peacefully led the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and friendship is better colleagues gathered to discuss. Today if you can not discuss a two or three to, for fear of not leaving the Chengqian Hall.

In the past, many of these ministers were vague and thought that being an official was nothing more than leisure. But now by the Baili Jun Yi several times forced, plus the new promoted up the official drive, even feel this kind of labor to have a sense of accomplishment. If Baili Junyi understands what they think, he will definitely tell them:

You’re all donkeys. You don’t work, you don’t whip, you don’t get restless!

Leaving the courtiers to discuss in the hall, Baili Junyi returned to the back chambers. Shen Ninghua was sticking needles into Sanjang, the oldest and Xiaobao were pressing his little hand on one side, his round little face was wrinkled into a ball, with tears in his big eyes, looking even more miserable than Sanjang who was being stabbed.

Baili Jun Yi went forward to carry the little treasure into the arms, and then stabilized her brother’s hand for her, the little treasure turned around and jumped into his arms, crying a twitch extra miserable, “Father, the younger brother is so pitiful … oooooh … ”

“Then Little Treasure will protect her brother from getting hurt in the future, so that her brother won’t have to always get needles.”

“Well, Little Treasure will learn martial arts well to protect her brother, and whoever bullies her brother, Little Treasure will whip him to death!”

Baili Junyi touched her little head, “Good.” It’s good for a daughter to be tough, lest she be bullied by others.

The oldest on the side was also full of seriousness, “Father, Mother, I will also protect my younger brother and sister from anyone bullying them.”

Shen Ninghua took out the last silver needle and closed Sanjang’s small shirt, then held him in her arms and gently coaxed him, “You are kindred spirits, you should protect each other in the future, when my brother grows up, he will also protect you.”

“Uh-huh.” Po and Boss nodded their heads together, their little faces full of seriousness.

After Shen Ninghua finished treating Sanjang, she fed him some milk before asking her grandmother to take him to a nearby room to rest.

“Jun Tact, what’s wrong, something on your mind?”

Baili Junyi held her hand, with an unquestionable firmness in his eyes, “Ninghua, I will protect you!”

Shen Ninghua froze, then smiled away, “Why are you suddenly so serious, what happened in the former dynasty?”

“Well,” Baili Junyi nodded, this matter will be known by Ning Hua sooner or later, so there is no need to hide it, “Bu Yonghan really managed to escape to the Great Yue Country, just received the eight hundred miles of emergency, the Great Yue Country is using its troops against the Northwest, and has already captured three cities along the Northwest border, the Emperor of the Great Yue Country has also sent a letter of state, stating that if you want them to retreat, you will abolish your position as Empress.”

Shen Ninghua was a little surprised, but the smile on his face did not subside, “The Great Yue State … is playing a handful of good calculations.”

“Well, don’t worry, I will definitely not let the Great Yue’s plot succeed.”

“It’s just …” associating the domestic situation nowadays, the smile on Shen Ninghua’s face gradually disappeared, “Nowadays it can be said that there are internal and external problems, snowstorms are rampant, the disaster situation is constantly aggravating, and if it is coupled with the use of troops by the Great Yue State, it would be simply adding more frost to the snow.”

Baili Junyi nodded, “Well, so to find a way to solve it, there must be a way to solve it as well, the sky is the limit, as long as we get through this difficult time, then the Great An Kingdom after this ordeal, it will definitely be united in a different way, and it will be beneficial for the future as well.”

“Now although the snowstorms are rampant, but in the previous two years, the harvest in Daan Kingdom is good, only that a lot of food is in the hands of the landed gentry, if it can be mobilized, it will certainly be able to get through this difficult time.”

“Not bad, I also intend to do the same, the national disaster, damage some of their interests is inevitable, if the national capital is gone, their good days will come to an end, I will find a way to mobilize them. It’s just that there’s an even more important issue right now.”

“What’s the problem?”

“Although the Great An Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom have had many conflicts, they have all been small in scale, Father has weakened the rights of the military generals for many years in order to stabilize the court, the former generals have all aged, and there are no good generals available in the court.”

Shen Ninghua slightly narrowed her eyes, her heart a little uneasy, “So what, what are your plans?”

Baili Junyi swept her into his arms and lifted her head up to meet her four-eyes, “Ninghua, I want to go on an imperial expedition!”

Shen Ninghua’s heart trembled, her eyes shook slightly, her tone a little agitated: ”Imperial expedition? You just ascended to the throne not long ago, the throne is not yet secure, plus the current severe disasters in various places, the issue of the snowstorm has not yet been dealt with, and in the dark there are other imperial forces watching intently, if you leave Kyoto at this time, what should the Da An Kingdom do?”

“Ninghua, calm down some!” Baili Junyi held her in his arms, reaching out his hand to slightly pat her back, “I have replaced most of the officials in the courtroom, the newly promoted people are all my trusted subjects, they have been suppressed for many years, and now that they have the opportunity to excel, they are naturally very diligent. As long as I give the decree, they will all obey your orders …”

Shen Ninghua got up violently and looked at him incredulously, “You told them to obey my words?”

“Ning Hua, you and I are husband and wife as one, I know your intelligence, if you are a man, you will surely be a vassal and a minister is the talent to support the country, by you to supervise the country for me, the Great An Kingdom will not be in trouble!”

“No way.” Shen Ninghua’s brow furrowed, “The Great An Kingdom has always had women not involved in dynasty politics, if I were to supervise the kingdom, wouldn’t that mess up the dynasty?”

“Ning Hua, will you be afraid?” Baili Junyi looked at her with a smile, the bottom of his eyes with full of trust, they are not pedantic people, moreover they don’t care about the traditional rules, “You and I husband and wife have just been reunited, and I don’t want to be separated, but if we can’t break the arrogance of the Great Yue State in one fell swoop, the next thing is that we will be more and more passive, by then, even if the officials are being pressed by me and don’t dare to open their mouths, the people’s mouths can’t be blocked, you will come to take over for me. Supervise the country, as long as you deal with the snowstorm, then your prestige will rise rapidly, the people have enough to eat, they won’t talk too much.”

Shen Ninghua’s heart seized with pain, she understood that the reason why Baili Junyi was adamant about the imperial expedition was because he was afraid that the generals sent out would not be able to repel the Great Yue State, and when the time came, the people would demand to listen to the Great Yue State’s request to abolish her! He is protecting her in his own way …

Baili Junyi reached out and wiped away the tears on her face, “Ninghua, it’s just that it’s bitter for you, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, and you have to stare at a mess in front of your eyes for me.”

Shen Ninghua violently leaned forward, two lips meet a charming warmth. Two people are extraordinarily gentle, extraordinarily careful, only the softest place in the bottom of the heart will be open to show in front of each other.

It was only after a while that the two separated. Shen Ninghua looked deeply at Baili Junyi and said in a firm tone, “Okay, I promise you, only, Junyi, you must also promise me to come back safely!”

“Good, don’t worry.”

The two of them quietly embraced each other and did not separate until Ye Yi’s voice came from outside. Shen Ninghua tidied up Baili Junyi’s clothes, “I recently researched a few dishes, so I’ll go and make them for you to eat later.”

“Well, wait for me to get off the court.” Baili Junyi kissed her forehead and turned to stride towards the front hall.

Shen Ninghua took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. The emperor’s imperial expedition, from the preparation to leave the capital at least eight or nine days, they can still get along peacefully eight or nine days of time, every day should be extraordinarily cherish is.
