Chapter 6 Your Majesty, I have something to report

In Cining Palace.

After Wu Ying left, the Queen Mother began to think deeply.

She was thinking about whether Zhang De's poisoning of the emperor had anything to do with the queen?

Or is it the queen behind Zhang De?

Otherwise, why did the emperor suddenly want to take back the queen's right to visit the court as the second emperor just after he executed Zhang De?

The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor was usually fascinated by the Queen Wu Ying.

Because of the queen Wu Ying, the emperor's harem has not had anyone added to his harem.

He also gave Wu Ying, the queen, the right to visit the court as the second saint.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the emperor to take action against Wu Ying, the queen who is his only favorite.

Could it be that the emperor discovered something or found some clues?

A ray of light burst out from the Queen Mother's eyes, and she immediately called out.

"Tongueless."

The Queen Mother had just finished speaking.

"The old slave is here."

An old eunuch walked in quietly, bowed his head slightly and said to the Queen Mother.

"Did Zhao Gao find anything?" the Queen Mother asked, looking at the old eunuch.

The old eunuch immediately bowed and said, "I haven't returned to the Queen Mother yet. Zhao Gao has arrested many people, but no traces can be found."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned and thought for a few seconds.

After a while, the Queen Mother looked at the old eunuch again and said, "Keep an eye on the Queen for the Ai family. I'm afraid the palace is not peaceful these days. Please keep an eye on the Ai family."

The old eunuch immediately nodded with understanding; "Yes, Queen Mother."

…

The emperor's palace.

Zhou Chen turned over some memorials that he had not dealt with before, and his face became ugly for a while.

These memorials are all trivial and insignificant matters.

Zhou Chen wanted to know most about the memorial about the true situation of Da Zhou, but there was not a single memorial.

Obviously.

This is the evil consequence of the coming of the Two Saints.

Those important memorials from before were probably sent to Yangxin Hall and handed over to the empress who came to the court for approval.

Zhou Chen casually threw these memorials aside, and called the chamberlain around him to prepare for the court meeting immediately.

Since the previous important memorials had been sent to the Queen for review, he could only listen to the ministers' reports at the court meeting.

Speaking of which, he, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, had not been in court for a long time due to serious illness.

If he does not come to court, many people may have forgotten that he is the legitimate emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

…

As soon as the news of the emperor's coming to court spread, it aroused considerable surprise among the civil and military officials.

They all knew that the emperor was in poor health and had not been in court for two months.

Why is the emperor suddenly going to court today?

Some well-informed people have already learned about what happened in the palace, and they speculated that the emperor's sudden visit to court may be closely related to what happened in the palace.

All civil and military officials gathered outside the Jinluan Hall.

Enter along both sides of the jade path.

After all the civil and military officials entered the Jinluan Hall, Zhou Chen directly climbed onto the dragon platform from the jade path on the side of the Jinluan Hall and sat on the dragon chair.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Seeing Zhou Chen's arrival, all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials bowing their heads below, and his mood was surging for a moment.

"Everyone is safe."

Zhou Chen calmed down and spoke slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving Zhou Chen's permission, all the civil and military officials stood up one after another.

"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."

The eunuch's sharp voice sounded next to him.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

At this moment, Grand Master Wen Zhong stood up immediately and said.

"oh!"

"Master, what do you have to say?"

Zhou Chen glanced at Grand Master Wen Zhong in surprise, who was the first to step forward.

In his memory, Grand Master Wen Zhong was a man who could not change his face despite the collapse of Mount Tai. Why did he seem a little impatient today?

"Your Majesty, the four northern continents have experienced a severe drought that has never happened in a century. The people have been displaced, the plague is rampant, and children are being sold. It's a terrible tragedy."

"Especially in the four northwest prefectures, civil unrest has occurred. The veteran minister asked the emperor to issue an order to provide full disaster relief and appease the people."

The grand master heard Zhong plop and knelt on the ground, leaning over.

"What did you say?"

Zhou Chen's expression changed and he stood up.

Nowadays, the Great Zhou Dynasty has long been in the sunset and has reached a critical point. Just a little fireworks may start a prairie fire and plunge the entire Great Zhou Dynasty into a place of eternal destruction.

Now there is a civil uprising in the four northwest prefectures. If this is not dealt with in time, it may start a prairie fire and trigger the entire four northern states.

When that time comes, one can imagine the situation that he, the emperor, will be in.

In the flash of lightning, Zhou Chen was filled with thoughts.

"When did this happen?"

Zhou Chen sat down and asked in a low voice with an extremely ugly face.

"Your Majesty, this is the news that the imperial court received a month ago. The Empress had already issued an order for disaster relief at that time, and also ordered the local officials to quell the civil uprising. The veteran officials were fully responsible for the disaster relief. I believe there will be good news coming to Beijing in the next few days.

"

Before Grand Master Wen Zhong could speak, Grand Master Yan Hua immediately stood up and said.

Then, Grand Tutor Yan Hua glanced at Grand Master Wen Zhong and said calmly: "Grand Master's words are a bit alarmist."

Um?

Have disaster relief orders been issued?

After hearing this, Zhou Chen's face looked better, he frowned, and looked at Taishi Wen Zhong who was kneeling on the ground with some confusion.

Since the Queen has issued an order to provide disaster relief and quell the civil uprising, why did the Grand Master bring up the old matter again today and ask him to issue a new order to provide all-out disaster relief?

Could it be that things have changed?

"Old man Yan, don't try to fool the emperor. The queen issued an order to provide disaster relief, but she only issued an order to provide relief to a few provinces. Didn't she care about the lives of the people in other places in the four northern continents?"

"And not much of the disaster money has been used to actually relieve the victims, so that the situation in the four northwest prefectures is now in a state of decay."

After Wen Zhong heard Taifu Yanhua's words, he immediately raised his head and pointed at Taifu Yanhua and said angrily.

Then he took out a bloody memorial from his sleeve and raised it above his head.

"Your Majesty, this is the news that I have just received from the four northwest prefectures. Instead of subduing the civil uprising in the four northwest prefectures, the two prefectures fell. The lord of the palace abandoned the city and fled, and the guard general died in the battle."

What?

The land of two mansions fell?

The palace lord abandoned the city and fled?

The guard died in battle?

Grand Master Wen Zhong's words were like a bomb that exploded in the Jinluan Palace, causing all the civil and military officials to change their expressions.

Even Grand Tutor Yan Hua, Prime Minister Yuan Bo, and General Wu Jin were stunned when they heard the news.

Zhou Chen immediately said: "Send it up."

The eunuch at the side quickly presented the bloody memorial to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said nothing and hurriedly read the memorial.

The first thing that caught the eye was the dazzling blood stains. Some of the writings were obscured by the blood stains and could not be seen clearly.

There are not many words in the memorial, but the lack of content is infuriating.

After Zhou Chen finished reading this memorial, his face was so gloomy that he could almost shed tears.
