In the second week, they are full of malice towards me

Chapter 68 The Empress

Dragon country.

imperial capital.

This is the place where countless people of the Dragon Kingdom dream of coming, and it is the largest city that the Dragon Kingdom deserves.

The place is rich, prosperous, and the spacious streets are clean and tidy. There are a variety of stores and shops on both sides of the road. There are all kinds of goods, which are simply dizzying.

Well-dressed people gathered in groups on the road, chatting and laughing happily, and there was an endless stream of luxury animal carriages. In each carriage, there were gorgeous and wealthy dignitaries one after another. They made the imperial capital bustling and bustling.

In addition, of course, the imperial guards who are fully armed and in uniform are indispensable, and the police stations are constantly patrolling the alleys of the imperial capital to maintain law and order and punish the wicked.

The imperial capital that can be seen everywhere is full of singing and dancing, as if every place in every aspect is showing the prosperity and prosperity of the Dragon Kingdom to those outsiders.

maybe that's why
The imperial capital is so flocked to by so many people from the Dragon Kingdom, right? To be able to take root in the imperial capital is a lifetime dream, right?

After all, no matter how superficial, how illusory and beautiful
That's nice too, isn't it?
The imperial capital, the imperial palace.

If the emperor is the core of the Dragon Kingdom, then the Emperor Palace is undoubtedly the core and the most important thing of the entire imperial capital.

The reason is also very simple.

only one.

The Empress is here.

This place is the palace of the founding empress of the Dragon Kingdom, the absolute emperor Jiuyou who stands above millions of people.

But today's Emperor's Palace ushered in an absolutely unparalleled spectacle that can be said to have never been seen in these hundreds of years. The huge "Dragon Palace" was actually densely packed with people.

Regarding the identities of these people, any people with a little bit of culture will never be unfamiliar, such as the Minister of Finance, the important officials of the interior, the judicial Dali, and the commander of the forbidden army.
These ministers and officials who can scare a large number of people to death by pulling out their official names at random, are all gathered at this moment, and most of them, no matter how arrogant and domineering they are on weekdays, now But they were all trembling, not even daring to vent their breath.

Because they all know.

problem occurs.

And is.
What a big deal!

"Emperor! I hope I can get an explanation so that I and my soldiers can understand why we suddenly provoked a war, and why we attacked the Holy Kingdom and launched an aggression!"

A burly man dressed as a general stood up from the civil and military queue of the Manchu Dynasty. He half-kneeled under the Dragon Hall, and with a loud and firm voice, he addressed the tall woman on the Dragon Throne at the top of the hall, Bold invitations.

However, looking back at the woman, one hand rests on the armrest of the dragon throne at will, beating rhythmically, and the other hand rests on her chin. Her long flame-like red hair hangs down from the throne to the ground, and the crown stands on both sides. The dark brown dragon horns are shiny and majestic, symbolizing the noble status of its owner.

The woman kept her eyes closed. Under the fork of the black cheongsam, there were two snow-white long legs stacked one above the other. Red hair, black robe, and white skin, the three colors mixed together, forming a sharp visual contrast and impact. The faint eye shadow like ink wash is the final touch, making the woman picturesque and full of classical charm.

Seeing that the empress did not reply to him, he still closed his eyes and meditated, and remained silent. At this time, General Long Yi held his head firmly. Although he lowered his head even deeper, he still persisted in his voice afterwards, and followed up his words. , even the other people in the Dragon Palace were startled.

"If the emperor can't give me an answer, then I implore the emperor to withdraw the diplomatic documents to the Holy Kingdom and withdraw the declaration of war on the Holy Kingdom!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the Dragon Palace.

In the hearts of all the officials and ministers, there is only one word left for General Long Yi, crazy, he is absolutely crazy!

How dare you question the empress, but in front of the empress!

Unsurprisingly.

As the last syllable of Long Yi's words fell, the woman on the Dragon Throne finally opened her eyes.

It was a pair of purple eyes.

For a moment, everyone in the Dragon Palace felt a trembling from the depths of their souls. It was a sense of oppression from an absolute superior. As the woman opened her eyes and glanced at them, everyone's legs trembled. Soft, wishing they could crawl on the ground, the crushing on the level of life made them feel like ants in front of the empress on the Dragon Throne.

Fortunately, this emperor's aura was quickly withdrawn, or in other words, the empress only placed it on one person.

On Long Yi who just asked her to take back her will.

Known as the number one general of the Dragon Kingdom, who commanded the strongest army in the mainland and made countless people fearful, now he was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth. Long Yi could feel the Empress's gaze locked on On his body, just this gaze made him feel as if a huge boulder had been crushed on him, making it difficult for him to breathe, his shoulders were tingling, and his whole body trembled.

But even so, Long Yi still didn't give in, still didn't let go, he was still half-kneeling, supporting his body with his knees so that he wouldn't be crushed down, he was passing his message to the Empress in this way Firm, hoping to let the empress listen to his advice.

After a few breaths, the woman on the Dragon Throne seemed bored, she looked away and closed her eyes again.

Only then was Long Yi below relieved, panting heavily, his heart was beating so fast that it was about to explode.

Is this the Empress?This is the power and coercion of the Empress. He is still known as the strongest person in the Dragon Kingdom, but he really can't even catch the eyes of the Empress.
When Long Yi was still in fear, another minister in the Dragon Hall saw that the empress had ended like this and let Long Yi go, he couldn't help feeling sorry for himself, and immediately stood up from the queue.

That's the Minister in charge of Home Affairs, Charlotte.

"Emperor, please don't pay attention to some cowardly and cowardly people's hypocrisy. The real people of the Dragon Kingdom, the whole country is willing to do their best to help the emperor to flatten the Holy Kingdom!"

"I have already informed the finances of the cities to increase the allocation of military salaries, and prepare to recruit and expand the army at any time. Within a week... no, within three days, our Dragon Kingdom army will be able to approach the city and reach the gate of the Holy Kingdom!"

Charlotte is respectfully supporting the emperor, but many officials in the back of the Dragon Palace, when they heard Charlotte's words, especially the words "military pay" and "army expansion", some people's faces instantly became ugly, and some even turned ugly. full of anger.

Sure, it's more of a look of joy, but it's well covered.

after all
"Charlotte! This will affect the Dragon Kingdom, and even implicate the entire continent in chaos. Do you still want to be corrupt and engage in your despicable means of collecting money!"

"Also ask the cities to allocate funds for the military. Don't you know that there is no money in the various places!? Don't you know that most of the people in the cities are already naked and hungry!"

Even in front of the Empress, Long Yi couldn't bear it any longer, he stood up directly, the general glared angrily, and turned his head to scold the fat minister beside him.

Seeing that Charlotte didn't pay any attention to him, Long Yi turned his head and knelt down heavily towards the empress again, this time not half kneeling, but full kneeling.

"Emperor, you must never expand the army anymore. No matter how many troops and soldiers there are, they are just boats, while the people are water. No matter how big the boat is, if there is no water, no matter how powerful the warship is, it will become a decoration! "

"Dijun, today's Dragon Kingdom is riddled with holes, the people are struggling to survive, famine is everywhere, and catastrophes and disasters continue, but it has been too long to get the relief and poverty relief it deserves. It is precisely because of those ineffective bureaucrats that As a result, the people in various places began to resent the emperor, and some arrogant and scheming people even took the opportunity to incite the people to form a private army in the name of righteousness, in an attempt to overthrow the emperor and the Dragon Kingdom."

"Emperor! What our Dragon Kingdom lacks now is not foreign aggression and launching wars. We should first achieve security in order to have the capital to fight against foreign countries. Taking this opportunity, it is rare for you to attend the Dragon Palace. I implore you to abolish slavery. Set up a monitoring station to clean up all those who corrupt and pervert the law, and those moths that are eating away at the Dragon Kingdom. Annihilation, return the Dragon Kingdom to a truly peaceful and prosperous world!"

After these words from the bottom of his heart, Long Yi could clearly perceive that there were eyes with hatred and murderous intent in the Dragon Palace, looking straight at his back, and these were coming from the rear, the so-called important officials.

Because I pierced this window in front of the Empress, pierced the false prosperity they painted for the Empress, and moved their interest cake, but Long Yi is fearless, this is the self-confidence of being the strongest "relic envoy".

In this "strength is paramount" dragon country, any conspiracy is false in the face of absolute power, so no matter how dissatisfied those bureaucratic ministers are with him, no matter how much they grit their teeth and want to get rid of him quickly, they all failed. .

However, it is precisely because of the absolute "strength first" that the birth of slavery, the loss of the most basic protection for the weak, and the current collapse of the Dragon Kingdom, so when Long Yi learned that the Empress actually When he once again personally passed down the decree to launch a war against the Holy Nation, Long Yi was shocked at first, but soon he realized that this was an opportunity for him to speak out in front of the Empress, so that the Empress would not understand. Being blinded by villains again is a chance to save the Dragon Kingdom!

"Presumptuous! Bold! Dijun, I request that the imperial guards immediately drag General Long Yi out of the Dragon Palace and behead him for public display!"

"How can such a blind man be worthy of such a high position? Dare I ask General Long Yi, can't he see the prosperity and magnificence of the imperial capital outside? Could it be that the happy smiles on the faces of those passers-by on the street are fake? Could it be that those shops with prosperous businesses are also fake? Could it be."

Charlotte wanted to retort fiercely, but soon he stopped abruptly, and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word, because the empress was on the armrest of the dragon seat, beating the fingers of the beat, and stopped.

Everyone held their breaths. The ministers and officials in charge of the Dragon Kingdom knew very well that every word the empress said would determine the future direction of the situation, and even their lives and deaths.

at last.

The woman on the Dragon Throne spoke.

"I will not withdraw the declaration of war on the Holy Nation."

As soon as this remark came out, Charlotte and many ministers and officials in the rear were relieved, and they were overjoyed. War, what they want is war.

But then, before they started to think about it, the Empress' next words gave them a chill again, as if being poured with ice water.

"As for the reason. Long Yi, if I told you that I have an extremely important item, but now it looks like it was snatched away by the Holy Nation, what would you do?"

"Sir, I will personally lead the army to flatten the Holy Kingdom, take back the emperor's belongings intact, and return them to the emperor!" Long Yi replied without hesitation.

"very good."

"As a reward, if you can really do it, I will be satisfied with all the reforms you mentioned earlier, I hope, and no one can stop you. Is that okay?"

Long Yi's eyes sparkled with excitement, even though he was a middle-aged veteran, he still felt his blood boil at this moment.

Because of the empress's promise, this is the hope of the Dragon Kingdom. As long as he can win this war and regain the lost things for the empress, it is equivalent to saving the Dragon Kingdom and helping the building to collapse!
In Long Yi's heart, he silently apologized to the Holy Nation, and to those people from the two countries who could foresee that countless families would be ruined and displaced by the war.

He rejected the war before because he couldn't see any hope, thinking that this would be the last straw that broke the camel's back, but now, the nature has changed. In Long Yi's eyes, this war has become the last of the drowning people. A life-saving straw!
"Chen, I will not disgrace my life!"

"It will definitely sweep the Holy Kingdom within one month!"
