The puppet emperor and the queen mother have all the power in the government and the public, calling

At this moment!

Great Zhou Dynasty, Qingzhou.

The monks from various places in Qingzhou were in rebellion and demons were rampant.

Look around.

Countless lives were devastated, corpses littered the fields, and everything was devastated.

But the scene changed.

Qingzhou Prefecture Government Office, in a magnificent hall, is a scene of drunkenness and dreams.

Many Qingzhou officials were holding a grand banquet, changing cups and cups, and it was very lively.

It was as if he had no idea about the scenes in Qingzhou where monks were causing chaos, demons were rampant, and countless lives were in ruins.

Lin Lei, the leader of Qingzhou Prefecture, was sitting at the head of the banquet, raising a wine glass in his hand, his face full of drunkenness.

"Lord of the Prefecture, hundreds of millions of troops from the Savage Beast Tribe are approaching the city."

"Reinforcements from the imperial court have not arrived for a long time. We may not be able to resist the army of wild beasts relying only on the Qingzhou defense formation and strong men. We must defend Qingzhou to the death."

A Qingzhou official suddenly spoke with a solemn face. Upon hearing this, Qingzhou Prefecture Lin Lei put down his wine glass, raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but curse:

"Defend Qingzhou to your death!"

"Is it possible that all of you here want to become the dead souls of the hundreds of millions of wild beasts?"

"Tomorrow we will evacuate Qingzhou and return to the imperial city."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Qingzhou officials present changed suddenly. They couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They looked at Lin Lei with horrified eyes and said in fear:

"Sir, you must not!"

"His Majesty's imperial edict orders us and other officials to stand firm in Qingzhou and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court."

"If we abandon the city and flee, once your Majesty finds out, we will be executed by the nine tribes and the whole family will be executed."

The officials present were panicked and said with trembling voices.

"A bunch of trash"

"The imperial edict is just a piece of waste paper. Now the Queen Mother has the final say in the court. Who does the emperor mean?"

"If you follow my lord, nothing will happen to you."

Lin Lei looked contemptuous, with a smile on his face, patted his chest, and said with confidence.

The Qingzhou officials present may not understand that the Qingzhou turmoil was planned by the Queen Mother.

Could it be that as the Qingzhou magistrate and the Queen Mother's confidant, he can still He didn't know.

He just needed to complete the Queen Mother's plan and return to the imperial city. He would be promoted to a higher position and enjoy endless wealth and splendor.

As for the lives of the Qingzhou officials present, he didn't care at all.

Now his purpose was to suddenly meet the officials present. Abandon the city and flee with him, let Qingzhou fall, and complete the Queen Mother's plan.

Of course, it was impossible for Lin Lei to say these words in front of the Qingzhou officials present.

Seeing Lin Lei patting his chest and promising, the Qingzhou officials present also made up their minds. Determined, he planned to abandon the city and flee.

If he stayed, the imperial reinforcements had not yet arrived.

Facing the hundreds of millions of wild beasts, death was certain.

Only by escaping and returning to the imperial city could there be a glimmer of hope.

"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor!"

"You guys, these guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death, can you still be considered ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

At this moment, a cold and angry voice sounded from the corner of the hall.

A middle-aged official in official attire with a stern face stood up and suddenly smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, which immediately frightened the Qingzhou officials present. Jump

"I originally thought that the Qingzhou officials gathered this time to discuss countermeasures to resist the hundreds of millions of wild beasts."

"But I didn't expect that you abandoned the city and fled in order to discuss the retreat. You are really a group of rebellious officials and traitors."

The middle-aged official's eyes were cold, he glanced at the Qingzhou officials present, and said with a sarcastic face.

"Be bold, Chen Wuya"

"Do you still think that you are the number one scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty appointed by the late emperor?"

"Now you are just the boss of Qingzhou, and you dare to be disrespectful to me."

"When someone comes, Chen Wuya will be thrown into the sky prison immediately, and he will be executed at a later date!"

Lin Lei's face was furious, he slapped the document with his palms, stood up, looked at the middle-aged official with sharp eyes, and said with murderous intent.

The middle-aged official who spoke was named Chen Wuya, the governor of Qingzhou.

But this The origin of a person is not simple.

Chen Wuya was the number one scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty appointed by the late emperor. He can be called a genius and an able minister in governing the country.

But because in the court,

Chen Wuya was upright and upright and made countless enemies, so he was betrayed by the treacherous villain. He was sent to Qingzhou to serve as the director.

Looking at this scene, the Qingzhou officials present couldn't help but shake their heads and looked at Chen Wuya with pity.

After all, he was also the number one scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty appointed by the late emperor.

He should have a bright future. Infinite.

In the end, it ended up in such a miserable end. It was really sad.

The next moment, several burly Qingzhou soldiers wearing black armor and stomachs walked into the hall with great momentum and were about to take Chen Wuya to the sky prison.

"Haha, I never thought that when the truth came to Qingzhou to quell the turmoil, I could also watch a good show. It was really a worthwhile trip."

However, at this moment, a mocking voice sounded, and a thin old man wearing a gray gown appeared quietly in the hall.

Seeing the old man appearing out of thin air in front of him, some of the Qingzhou officials present immediately recognized him After seeing the old man's identity, their expressions changed suddenly. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

When Lin Lei, the capital of Qingzhou Prefecture, saw the old man's appearance, his eyes sank slightly and he cursed in his heart.

Damn it!

Didn't the news from the Queen Mother come true?

Even the emperor still He did not start to mobilize troops and generals, and sent strong men to support Qingzhou.

Then why did Xue Wuyan, the left prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, appear in Qingzhou.

In this way, he still implemented the Queen Mother's plan.

"Haha, Zuo Xiang, you came just in time. We were just discussing how to pacify Qingzhou!"

Lin Lei, with a smile on his face and striding forward, came to the left prime minister Xue Wuyan, bowed and said humbly.

Although he is the capital of Qingzhou and has a high and powerful position, his status is far from that of Zhou Zuo.

Therefore, he He was under the eaves and had to lower his head.

Xue Wuyan stroked his beard, his eyes were cold, he stared at Lin Lei, and said coldly:

"The scene in the main hall just now, the truth was seen in the dark, Master Lin does not need to explain"

"In Qingzhou, monks are in chaos, demons are rampant, countless lives are in ruins, and corpses are everywhere."

"As the capital of Qingzhou, Lin Lei neglected his duties and wanted to abandon the city and flee."

"From now on, Lin Lei will be dismissed from the post of Qingzhou Prefecture and thrown into a prison to await His Majesty's fate."

Xue Wuyan's voice was cold, and he showed no mercy for Lin Lei.

Before coming to Qingzhou, he learned from His Majesty that the Qingzhou Prefecture secretly colluded with the Demon Sect and the Wild Orcs.

Now Lin Lei plans to abandon the city and flee directly. It was confirmed that Lin Lei was a treacherous minister and a treasonous traitor.

As for the Qingzhou officials present, they dared to abandon the city and flee with Lin Lei. They are also unforgivable.

However, at present, these officials are still needed in Qingzhou to stabilize the situation.

We can only wait for the unrest in Qingzhou and everything will happen. After everything has been settled,

I will come to these officials to settle accounts.

"Prime Minister Zuo, deposing Qingzhou Prefecture requires an imperial edict."

"Even if you are the left prime minister, you cannot go beyond the court's laws and remove yourself from office. Lin

Lei looked angry and said anxiously.

If he is dismissed from his official position and fails to do what the Queen Mother told him, he will definitely die.

"Prime Minister Zuo, I have the support of the Queen Mother"

"Just pretend that what happened today didn't happen, and I will definitely reward you generously."

When mentioning the Queen Mother, Lin Lei felt confident in his heart. He straightened his chest and said with a smile.

"If you abandon the city and flee, you should be killed according to the law!"

"Unless His Majesty personally issues an imperial edict to let you live, you'd better just surrender."

Xue Wuyan glanced at Lin Lei coldly, ignored the other party's threat, and said righteously

"Left Prime Minister, don’t you give me any face?"

"Qingzhou is my territory. Do you really think I am afraid of you?"

Lin Lei's face was ferocious, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes cut through the void as if they were real, falling on Xue Wuyan, and said with murderous intent.
