I was imprisoned by the Empress at the beginning, and I was secretly invincible

Ji Luoyao naturally knew who the person who turned the tide was that the old minister was talking about.

In fact, before the old minister finished speaking, the name Jiang Hao had already appeared in Ji Luoyao's mind.

If Jiang Hao was still alive, would she still need to worry so much?

Ji Luoyao couldn't help but ask herself.

Thinking back to when she had just taken the throne not long ago, the world was also in constant rebellion, and the situation at that time was much more serious than it is now.

It was Jiang Hao who deployed troops and made plans, and in just a few years, all the chaos was quelled.

Then after several years of hard work and recuperation, she was given a Great Zhou Dynasty that the people were loyal to.

The civil service can stabilize the country, and the military can stabilize the country!

In the eyes of countless people, Jiang Hao, the Duke of Wei, can be said to be a truly capable minister who governs the world and a pillar of the country.

Even if we look at the history of the Great Zhou for so many years and so many famous ministers and wise men, few people can be compared with him.

It is precisely because of these actions that Jiang Hao has such a high reputation in the Great Zhou.

If Jiang Hao was still alive, she should only need to give an order and then quietly wait for the final victory.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hao is no longer here.

And he was thrown into the prison by her own hands.

For the first time in such a long time, Ji Luoyao felt a little regret in her heart.

But this regret soon disappeared, because she didn't think she did anything wrong.

As the master of the Great Zhou, can she only be a puppet? Can't she rule in person? Shouldn't she have her own ideals and ambitions?

So, she is not wrong.

The only person who is wrong is Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao's mistake is... too good!

Facing the expectant eyes of the civil and military officials, Ji Luoyao naturally understood what they wanted.

But she couldn't agree to this request.

"Withdraw from the court!"

The red lips opened slightly, and two words came out of her mouth coldly.

Then, regardless of everyone's reaction, Ji Luoyao just walked away.

...

Returning to the palace.

Ji Luoyao's mood still couldn't calm down for a long time.

It has been almost two months since Jiang Hao was imprisoned.

She carefully recalled what she had done in the past two months.

First of all, it was much more tiring than before.

When she saw Jiang Hao handling government affairs, she thought it was easy.

But when it was her turn, she found that the tediousness and complexity were far beyond her imagination.

Although no one said it explicitly, she knew very well that she must have made a lot of jokes during this period.

But what she made was not just a joke, the problem of the vassal king made her headache, and now she didn't know how to deal with it.

Coupled with a series of problems caused by it, if she didn't handle it properly next, the future of the Great Zhou might go in an extremely dangerous direction.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but regret it in her heart. She shouldn't have decided to reduce the vassal state rashly. It was too impulsive at the time. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now.

"Could it be... am I really not as good as him?"

Ji Luoyao couldn't help but mutter to herself in her heart.

She really didn't want to admit this fact.

She was the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, born with the body of a human king, how could she be not as good as a minister?

But the facts at the moment made it impossible for her to refute.

She suddenly turned around and looked at the young female official who was serving beside her, and asked seriously: "Qing'er, you say... am I wrong?"

The female official was called Shangguan Qing, but she was not an ordinary female official, but a personal maid who grew up with Ji Luoyao.

After Ji Luoyao ascended the throne and became emperor, she had been with Ji Luoyao all the time, and could be said to be Ji Luoyao's confidant among his confidants.

To some extent, she was also the person who knew Ji Luoyao best in the world.

Faced with Ji Luoyao's nonsensical question, Shangguan Qing understood and shook her head gently: "Your Majesty, your heart is in turmoil."

"Yes, my heart is in turmoil. From the beginning, my heart has been in turmoil!"

Speaking of this, Ji Luoyao's beautiful face was full of hatred.

"My uncle actually joined hands to rebel against me!"

"The officials I personally promoted actually fooled me one by one!"

"Even God popped up from time to time to laugh at me!"

"Tell me, what did I do wrong?"

She gritted her teeth and asked: "In this case, how can my heart not be in turmoil?"

"Your Majesty, Qing'er doesn't understand any great principles, but Qing'er has heard a saying that only after the storm can you see the rainbow, and all the hardships are for success."

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then looked at Ji Luoyao:

"Even the Duke of Weiguo, who you have always cared about in your heart, if I remember correctly,, he also made a lot of mistakes at the beginning, but he corrected them quickly, learned lessons and made continuous progress. "

"Your Majesty, you are the Lord of the Great Zhou, born to stand at the top of the world, your position is much higher than others, naturally, it is much more difficult for you to achieve great achievements than others."

"But I believe that as long as your Majesty learns from your lessons, with your talent and talent, you will definitely become an emperor in the future. By that time, these things may leave a good story. "

Shangguan Qing winked playfully and complimented with a smile.

Ji Luoyao couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

"Sure enough, Qing'er is still good at talking. After listening to your advice, my mood is finally much better. "

Shangguan Qing shook his head again and again: "Qing'er dare not take credit, and I have no ability to persuade Your Majesty. I just told Your Majesty's situation again. "

Ji Luoyao chuckled when she heard this, and pointed at Shangguan Qing with her finger. There were some things that she understood in her heart, and there was no need to say them out loud.

At this moment, her mood suddenly became clear, and she quickly stood up.

"Go!"

"Where is your majesty going?"

Shangguan Qing asked immediately.

A strange look flashed in Ji Luoyao's eyes, and she took a deep breath, and then said word by word: "Heavenly Prison!"

"..."

Shangguan Qing was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have no reaction for a while.

Seeing her like this, Ji Luoyao smiled instead: "The whole world belongs to the king. In this Great Zhou territory, is there any place I can't go?"

Shangguan Qing looked terrified, and hurriedly explained: "No, no... That's not what I meant."

"I know you don't mean that. "

Ji Luoyao waved her hand,

"I was a little afraid to go there before, but now, I have figured it out. What about the Heavenly Prison? What about Jiang Hao? I can go wherever I want!"

Then she looked up at Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing finally reacted and shouted to the outside: "Your Majesty is going out, go to the Heavenly Prison!"

When the empress went out, all kinds of preparations were naturally indispensable.

It was just that the empress suddenly wanted to go to the Heavenly Prison, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

After a while of chaos, the empress quickly sat on the imperial sedan chair, and then went to the Heavenly Prison under the escort of a large number of imperial guards.

And when the empress arrived at the Heavenly Prison, Tao Gongwang, the warden of the Heavenly Prison, had already brought a group of senior officials to greet her at the gate of the Heavenly Prison.

Although they didn't understand why the empress suddenly came to the Heavenly Prison for inspection, they didn't dare to be disrespectful.

"Welcome Your Majesty!"
