"Waiting for King Wu's battle report, I'm afraid it will delay the opportunity."
Wang Wei, the Minister of War, strongly advocated that military resources should be transferred to the south for defense.
Doing so will definitely weaken the supply to the west. Duan Shuangshuang objected: "As long as the south can be defended, the west is fundamental."
"King Wu is now attacking the Xixia Royal City with all his strength, and the court should fully support King Wu."
Wang Wei said: "Duan Shangshu, military and state affairs must be handled fairly and not be partial because of personal preferences."
"You have a good relationship with King Wu, everyone knows it, but you can't abandon public relations for personal reasons."
In front of so many people, Wang Wei said this, which made Duan Shuangshuang very embarrassed.
"Wang Shangshu, what do you mean by this? Have I ever been partial?"
Wang Wei said: "I heard that you rejected a marriage proposal the day before yesterday, and you love King Wu in your heart..."
Duan Shuangshuang blushed with embarrassment, but the empress immediately stopped her and reprimanded: "Wang Shangshu, you are not allowed to criticize private matters in the court!"
Wang Wei immediately changed his mind and said: "Your Majesty, I still think that the defense in the south should be strengthened."
The ministers in the DPRK had different opinions. Most of them felt that they should support Long Chen in destroying Xixia first.
While the argument continued, Yingfeng hurried in from outside the door, holding a small bamboo tube in his hand.
Everyone quieted down. Everyone knew that the bamboo tube brought up from the court contained only Long Chen's secret report.
If it was something else, there was no need for Yingfeng to bring it to the court. It would be the same thing after the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, King Wu is reporting urgently."
Yingfeng presented it, and the empress stood up and took it, opening it with a look of ecstasy on her face.
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan had complicated expressions on their faces, while Duan Shuangshuang and Xu Ming had already begun to laugh.
Wang Wei was waiting for the empress to speak, and other ministers were also waiting for the empress to speak.
The empress stood up and smiled happily: "King Wu has reported victory. He has defeated Xingqing City and killed Shi Le with his own hands. Xixia is dead!"
After the empress finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence.
It happened so suddenly that no one had reacted yet.
"Why, are you all unhappy?"
Looking at the confused minister below, the empress asked with a smile.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Xu Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to come out to congratulate, followed by Duan Shuangshuang.
At this time, the ministers in the DPRK woke up from a dream and congratulated loudly together.
There was laughter in the court room.
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were so envious that they were speechless.
Long Chen destroyed Xixia, which means that Di Luoxi's marriage can be arranged.
"He really did it as a gift to the country."
Emperor Xingwan was so envious that he wanted to cry.
As both princesses of the Zhou Dynasty, Di Luoxi's fate is really good.
Di Yu sighed slightly: "We have the same mother but different fates..."
Di Xingwan wanted to marry Long Chen, why didn't Di Yuwei not want to, the four sisters all wanted to.
"Your Majesty, this is a great joy that has not happened in hundreds of years."
Veteran minister Li Yizheng smiled so hard that his mouth twisted.
It took the world three hundred years, but Long Chen actually destroyed Xixia in less than a year.
After the annexation of Xixia, the land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was almost the same as that of the Southern Liang Dynasty.
"King Wu is really powerful..." Bayi Chinese website
Baili Bing sincerely praised Long Chen for his awesomeness.
Xingqing City is extremely strong. Everyone expected to fight for several months, but they didn't expect it to be completed so quickly.
The empress said to Baili Bing: "King Wu said in the letter that Xixia needs more officials, and the Ministry of Personnel should seize the time to select capable officials."
Baili Bing smiled helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, King Wu is fighting too fast. I'm afraid it will take some time for the officials to choose the right person."
The empress smiled and said: "Don't worry, King Wu will be guarding there and will temporarily use the original officials of Xixia. When your people arrive, he will return to the court with his troops."
Baili Bing worshiped: "Weichen must speed up the selection of talents!"
Everyone was very happy, and the ministers were noisy in the court just like the New Year.
Wang Wei, the Minister of War, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what does King Wu mean? Does he want to stay in Xingqing City?"
The empress nodded and said: "Xixia has just been pacified, and we need him to sit in and wait..."
Wang Wei immediately rushed to speak and said: "Your Majesty, King Wu now has a heavy army. If he becomes king on his own, who can rule him?"
After saying these words, the originally bustling court suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at Wang Wei in astonishment.
The empress was also stunned.
Xu Ming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said angrily: "Wang Wei, what do you mean! King Wu conquered Xixia, but you slandered him for seeking independence! What are your intentions!"
"Since the war started, you have repeatedly slandered me. Now that King Wu has conquered Xixia, you are still slandering me!"
"I want to ask whose spy you are, Shi Le's or Li Chengdao's!"
Xu Ming was just angry and said casually, but he didn't expect that he was right. Wang Wei suddenly became anxious and cursed angrily: "Xu Ming, you are attached to Long Chengen, so naturally you will speak for him!"
"Long Chengen now has a lot of troops. If he wants to rebel, can you stop him?"
Xu Ming cursed: "What the hell, King Wu fought for the Zhou Dynasty, and there was no sign of rebellion!"
"You, on the other hand, have been in trouble many times. Just now you said that Li Chengdao wanted to attack and reduce King Wu's military resources and logistics. What are your intentions!"
The two were quarreling in the court hall, and the surrounding ministers stepped forward to persuade them:
"Wang Shangshu, you are worrying too much. King Wu will become the consort and become a family member of the Holy Emperor."
"Xu Shangshu, please calm down, Wang Shangshu said it unintentionally."
Xu Ming was furious and pointed at Wang Wei and cursed: "What you said without intention? When you open your mouth, you are treason and self-reliance, and your intention is to be punished!"
Baili Bing advised: "Don't say you are so unhappy on this big day."
Everyone tried to persuade them together, but the two were pulled apart, but Xu Ming still cursed.
The empress said: "Well, Wang Shangshu is overly worried. Long Chengen is about to become the first prince-in-law of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can he have the intention to rebel?"
"Xixia Xinding, if there is no heavy military guard, it is inevitable that there will be remnants who will cause trouble."
"After the officials have selected the talents, King Wu can return to the court with his troops."
The empress spoke, Xu Ming stopped cursing, and Wang Wei stopped saying anything.
The empress said: "King Wu has destroyed Xixia. This is a great event. The capital will celebrate it for three days!"
All the ministers congratulated in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
The empress returned to the palace happily, and all the ministers were very happy.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and everyone was surprised. They did not expect that Long Chen could really destroy Xixia, and so quickly.
After the coachman Zhao Heng heard the news, he immediately returned home to report it.
Gongsun Yun was overjoyed when he heard this. He put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "This boy, you defeated Xingqing City so quickly! That is the royal city built by Taizu Taizu of Xixia!"
"Oh, what method did this kid use to be so fast!"
"No, this guy is coming back soon. I have to hurry up and hold his wedding. I can't delay it any longer!"
Zhao Heng smiled and said: "Sir, I heard that King Wu will guard Xixia for a while, so he is not in such a hurry."
Gongsun Yun smiled and said: "Be prepared, Linglong will take advantage of it this time..."
Zhao Heng said happily: "Yes, the young master must have made a great contribution this time!"
Gongsun Yun smiled and said: "Bring me my court clothes, I want to enter the palace to congratulate you."
Zhao Heng immediately prepared his court clothes. After Gongsun Yun put them on, he rode a carriage into Fengming Palace.
When Di Waner saw Gongsun Yun, she immediately reported it.
The empress personally greeted her and said with a smile, "Is Lao Zhuguo here to congratulate you?"
Gongsun Yun laughed happily and said: "Yes, this boy is really capable. He actually defeated Xixia. He is really a genius sent from heaven!"
The empress asked Gongsun Yun to come in and sit down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to happen so soon. The original plan was to fight for at least three years, but it turned out to be less than one year."
The empress believed that Long Chen would be able to do it, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Gongsun Yun chuckled and said: "That's good. The war will end early, and I will come back and marry the princess early. I will be blessed with double happiness!"
