Long Chen entered the palace on horseback, while other ministers walked in.
This is Long Chen's privilege, and other ministers cannot envy him.
When he arrived at the gate of the Daming Palace, Long Chen dismounted and the imperial army came to lead the horse.
After entering the court hall, all the ministers stood in their respective positions.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were behind them, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were beside them, and the other civil and military ministers stood in separate columns.
"Dazhu Kingdom, there are reports from various places that there are still demon monks from Zhaoti Temple causing trouble. Look at this."
Veteran minister Li Yizheng slowly walked over to discuss this matter with Long Chen.
Long Chen looked a little embarrassed and said, "Master Li, we will discuss this later when the Holy Emperor comes to court."
Li Yizheng also knew that Long Chen was ugly, so he returned to the train and stood still.
The other ministers glanced at Long Chen and Li Yizheng and stood silent.
The empress came out of the inner court, sat on the phoenix chair, glanced around the hall, and said, "Let's go to court."
Everyone glanced at Long Chen and then at Li Yizheng.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The empress smiled and said: "Master Li, please speak."
Everyone looked at Li Yizheng. Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi knew what Li Yizheng was going to say. Their expressions were calm and they did not make any moves.
"There are reports from various places that the demon monk's troubles have not stopped."
"Last time Dazhuguo asked the world to mediate, but now it seems that the effect is not good."
"I ask the Holy Lord to discuss this matter and find a way to solve it."
After Li Yizheng finished speaking, the ministers in the court began to discuss.
If someone started it, it wouldn't be their problem.
The empress frowned slightly, looked at Long Chen, and asked: "Dazhu Kingdom, didn't you find the Tianxiahui?"
"Why are the monster monks everywhere still causing trouble?"
Long Chen sighed helplessly, walked out and worshiped: "Your Majesty, I have been looking for Sifang Tower a few days ago."
"But Sifanglou said that this is a matter between Xixia and Dazhou, and they will not interfere."
After Long Chen finished speaking, the ministers in the DPRK were all surprised.
r>
They always thought that Long Chen was very powerful and could negotiate with the Tianxiahui, but they didn't expect that the Tianxiahui would not buy it at all.
Some ministers snickered underneath.
The empress' eyes narrowed and she said angrily: "How could you possibly force Dazhou to return Zhenguo Temple in the first place!"
"Now that Xixia is causing trouble, the World Council doesn't care!"
"If they don't care, then we'll fight. Xixia will be dishonest if we don't fight!"
"Long Cheng'en, I designate you as the Grand Marshal of Pingxi! Immediately raise 500,000 troops to destroy Xixia!"
The ministers were surprised. They did not expect the empress to be so angry.
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were both shocked. Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi pretended to be excited and came out to worship:
"Mother, my son and I are willing to lead the troops, destroy the Zhenguo Temple, and destroy Xixia!"
The empress nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you two belong to Dazhu Kingdom and will send troops today!"
Before the ministers could react, the empress had already made arrangements.
Wang Wei, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, came out and bowed: "Your Majesty, we still need to prepare weapons, food and fodder. I am afraid that we will raise the army in a hurry."
Duan Shuang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also came out to pay homage: "Your Majesty, we are raising 500,000 troops at a time, and I'm afraid we still need to raise military expenses."
Di Luoxi said: "There are already 200,000 Long Family troops at Jade Buddha Pass, and we only need to recruit another 300,000 troops."
Emperor Lingyi also said: "The defenders at Yanmen Pass can also help. We can send troops to attack Zhenguo Temple first, and then advance slowly."
The two sisters talked very excitedly.
The ministers discussed one after another:
"Why send troops? Is it inappropriate?"
"Xixia's national power is currently weak, so it is a good time to send troops."
"I also think it is because Dazhu's army is so powerful that he will surely win if he leads the army."
"Not much. Xixia is a frightened bird, vulnerable to a blow."
The ministers basically agreed to send troops for conquest.
Long Chen didn't say a word.
The empress looked at Long Chen and asked: "Why didn't Dazhu Kingdom accept the decree?"
Long Chen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am a minister. When I and the Council of Heaven were discussing, the Council of Heaven made it clear that they did not agree to send troops."
The empress stood up and said angrily: "I don't need the world to tell me what to do with my empire!"
The ministers in the court all shut up and stood still.
They didn't expect that the empress would be so angry, or angry at Long Chen.
Ever since Long Chen appeared in Dazhou, the Empress has never been angry with Long Chen.
This is the first time I got angry.
Long Chen's face was ugly, and he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. In the last war, our Great Zhou suffered a lot of casualties."
"If we raise troops again, I'm afraid the world will be in turmoil and the people will be uneasy."
"In addition, the world will not agree. If they provoke Nanliang to attack again, we are afraid that the situation will not be good."
What Long Chen said is true. The ministers of the court are waiting for the empress's decision.
Di Yuwei was also very surprised. He did not expect that the empress would reprimand Long Chen in front of the court.
"Mother, what Dazhuguo said is true, our dynasty also needs to recuperate and recuperate."
"Moreover, the world will stir up trouble. If they stir up trouble again, I'm afraid."
Emperor Xingwan also said: "Mother, I would like to ask for further discussion."
Di Luoxi was very dissatisfied and said: "If there is anything to discuss, Xixia committed the first foul, so he should be beaten!"
Di Lingyi nodded and said, "Are the eldest and second sisters scared?"
Di Yu said with slight displeasure: "You all know how to fight. You need people and money to fight. How can it be so easy?"
The four princesses quarreled, and the ministers began to discuss again.
The empress turned and asked Long Chen: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at Long Chen.
"Wei Chen suggested that we first send troops to wipe out the demonic monks who have sneaked in, and also send a large army to destroy them. "
"The so-called killing of chickens with a bull's-eye, show it to Xixia, we have more than enough troops in the Zhou Dynasty."
"If Xixia dares to provoke again, we will send troops."
Long Chen said helplessly.
The ministers could tell that some heroes in Long Chen were short of breath.
The empress slowly sat down and looked at Long Chen without speaking for a long time.
The ministers below also said nothing.
Emperor Yu came out slightly and worshiped: "Mother, I think what Dazhuguo said is reasonable."
"Let's calm down the demon monks inside first, and at the same time show our military power to let Xixia know that I, Dazhou, can fight again."
The empress sighed slightly and said, "That's it."
After saying that, the empress got up and returned to the inner court very unhappy.
"Best regards, Your Majesty."
All the ministers paid their respects to the empress.
Di Luoxi said dissatisfied: "Long Chengen, what's the use of doing this?"
"It will only make Xixia think that we, the Zhou Dynasty, are easy to bully and will not dare to fight."
Emperor Lingyi also said angrily: "It's just a Tianxiahui. At worst, the Tianxiahui will also deal with it!"
The two princesses besieged Long Chen, and other ministers retreated one after another, not wanting to talk about this matter.
When Emperor Xingwan saw the two men besieging Long Chen, he came out to save the siege and said, "Stop saying a few words. If the matter was so simple, Dazhu Kingdom would have done it long ago."
"You have to think about the overall situation and don't just think about fighting."
Long Chen didn't want to explain more, lowered his head and left the Daming Palace without talking to anyone else.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi returned to the palace separately and did not follow them to Commander Long's Mansion.
The empress left the Daming Palace and was furious along the way, cursing: "I thought Long Chengen was the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but I didn't expect to be so afraid of the world. It's really useless!"
Yingfeng knew that this was meant for others, so she neither refuted nor agreed, lowered her head and followed behind her back to Fengming Palace.
The empress' scolding made everyone in the palace speculate that Long Chen's position in the court would be shaken.
