I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

Chapter 240 Peace Talk

The Yueguo army sent an urgent report eight hundred miles away.

Nangong Shang and Nangong Luoxia were dealing with the treacherous officials in the main hall at this time.

Nangong Shang sat on the left side of the main hall, wearing a black official uniform with a golden dragon pattern. Beside him was a small table with fragrant tea brewed on it. It seemed out of place with the blood on the ground in the middle.

In the middle of the main hall, a minister who was a member of Nangong Liuying's gang was being executed in public. His skin was torn and he screamed in pain.

All the officials lowered their heads. Although they were not punished, they were trembling and did not dare to look up.

Nangong Luoxia was wearing a bright yellow imperial robe and sitting at the top. She no longer had the image of a fool as before and looked very majestic.

The minister's blood splattered into the cup that Nangong Shang was holding up.

He paused, then gave a devilish smile, "No need to fight, drag him away and execute his entire clan."

When these words were spoken, all the ministers trembled, and some of the timid ones collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

The guards dragged the minister away, who was covered in blood.

All of Nangong Liuying's followers have been dealt with today.

The main hall smells of blood...

Nangong Shang casually poured out the blood-spattered tea, mixing it with the blood on the ground. He straightened his sleeves and stood up without bowing to the empress. "I am tired, Your Majesty, please do as you please."

Ministers:......

So arrogant...

Nangong Luoxia wasn't angry, but her hands on her knees tightened slightly...

Nangong Luoxia, "Brother Emperor, take care."

Nangong Shang stood up, and the ministers bowed their heads, not daring to look at him directly. Seeing everyone like this, Nangong Luoxia became even more angry.

Now in the court, no one dares to compete with Nangong Shang. Although he has become the emperor, he still has no power.

Yueming followed beside him with a sword in his hand. Perhaps only those around King Shang dared to bring a sword into the palace.

Just as he reached the middle of the hall, a guard outside the palace rushed in shouting, "Express military report from eight hundred miles away!"

Nangong Shang was shocked. Military report? Yun'er is still at the border!

The guard rushed in with the military report, but instead of giving it to the empress, he knelt down and presented it to Nangong Shang.

Nangong Shang quickly took the letter, opened it, and read it. He turned and walked back to the front of the main hall, tossed the letter to Nangong Luoxia's personal eunuch, and then turned around and said, "A hundred thousand troops from the Shang Kingdom are approaching. Pass on my order to mobilize all troops and follow me to the border!"

All the generals knelt on the ground, "We obey your order!"

Nangong Shang did not wait for Nangong Luoxia to speak, and directly led the generals out of the main hall.

Seeing that King Shang had left, the civil officials were all whispering to each other with anxious expressions:

"Why is the Shang State suddenly like this?"

"Previously, the Princess of Shang and His Royal Highness Prince Shang had an engagement, which established diplomatic relations between the two countries. Now that the engagement is broken, I'm afraid it's no longer valid."

"My Yue Nation is now completely powerless to resist!"

"Why don't you talk about it again and form a marriage alliance!"

Nangong Luoxia was helpless and said in a slightly louder voice, "Okay!"

When Nangong Shang was around, no one dared to move. But when he left, these ministers started whispering to each other. They really know how to read Ma Yi's face...

The officials quieted down.

A newly appointed prime minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, our Yue Kingdom is currently unable to resist the Shang Kingdom's army. Why not send someone to negotiate peace and buy a few years of peace? Once our Yue Kingdom has reorganized, it won't be too late to declare war on them!"

Another minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the Princess of Shang once had feelings for His Royal Highness Prince Shang. If Your Highness can remarry the Princess, this war can be resolved."

A minister stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! The Princess of Shang has already married the Prince of Yan as the principal ruler. Do you want His Royal Highness Prince Shang to marry him as a concubine? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Yue Kingdom?"

Nangong Luoxia interrupted directly, "My dear family!"

The scene was about to start a quarrel, but she interrupted it and the situation quieted down.

Nangong Luoxia said, "Besides me and my brother, there are no other royal descendants in my Yue Kingdom. If King Shang doesn't want to, this method is not acceptable."

She actually hoped that this would allow King Shang to hand over his military power with good reason, but how could her royal brother submit to being a subordinate and become a concubine?

A minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you write a letter to the Queen of Shang? Shang broke the engagement with Yue and they are the first to break the promise. They must give us an explanation!"

Several ministers were stunned and stood up, "I second the motion!"

Nangong Luoxia smiled slightly, "In that case, I will follow what you all say."

The empress then raised her imperial brush and wrote a letter in front of all the ministers. She affixed the imperial seal and raised her eyes. "Which minister is willing to personally take this letter to negotiate peace?"

Everyone looked at each other. This was not an easy task. The Shang Kingdom was powerful, and the princess was both civil and military, so it was really difficult to handle.

Seeing that no one was saying anything, Nangong Luoxia snorted lightly, "Since we are discussing marriage, the royal relatives should go, but my Nangong family has been poisoned by Nangong Liuying. In this case..."

Nangong Luoxia glanced at Meng Lin who was standing at the farthest point. Because of her merits, she was conferred the title of Imperial Merchant by Nangong Shang, and was also given an official position of the fifth rank, a position for idleness and idleness. Originally, she was not qualified to attend court, but the empress and Nangong Shang said that all officials of the sixth rank and above must come today, so she stood at the very end.

Nangong Luoxia suddenly called out, "Master Meng!"

Everyone turned around and looked towards the end.

Meng Lin was startled and quickly stepped forward, "I wonder if His Majesty is calling for me."

Nangong Luoxia sneered twice, "The Meng family is the maternal family of His Royal Highness Prince Shang, and is also considered a relative of the Nangong family. Lord Meng should be the uncle of the emperor. Lord Meng will go this time. If he succeeds and returns, he will be granted the title of Duke Meng!"

There was a sigh from the crowd, followed by a burst of discussion.

Duke is a high position, usually held by military generals, who must have military merits to be awarded the title. How can Meng Lin get this title just by going to negotiate?

A minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the position of Duke is indeed an important one. Please reconsider."

Nangong Luoxia chuckled, "Why don't you go, my dear?"

The minister was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly. He didn't want to die, but now that the Shang army was approaching, there was no reason not to go to war. This move would be a death sentence. "I... dare not. Lord Meng is very suitable..."

Everyone:..........

Meng Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead helplessly. This was a life-threatening mission, and yet it was handed to him. King Shang also left. It was really...

Nangong Luoxia looked down at Meng Lin, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Master Meng, are you still not accepting the order?"

Meng Lin knelt down tremblingly, "Your humble servant... accepts the order!"

Nangong Luoxia raised her head slightly and said, "Let's set off today!"

All the officials said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

After the court session, the empress returned to the imperial study, ordered someone to fetch a basin of clean water, then soaked the urgent military report from eight hundred miles away in it, and dismissed everyone.

After taking out the soaked letter, a line of words appeared: Xiao Qingyue has escaped, and the genius doctor A Zi died at the hands of bandits.

Nangong Luoxia's hands trembled...

Ah Zi...died? How could that be!

She quickly picked up her pen, wrote a letter, and summoned the secret guards, "Immediately send someone to Huicheng. They must capture and kill Xiao Qingyue before Prince Shang leaves. Also, investigate the cause of death of Divine Doctor A Zi and bring all the murderers back to the capital!"

Ah Zi is her benefactor, and she will never forgive anyone who kills her.

Xiao Qingyue must not be allowed to live. He followed Nangong Liuying in Yue Kingdom. He was the husband of the emperor of the previous dynasty and had no children. He should have been buried alive with the emperor!

Besides, Xiao Qingyue must know a lot about the internal affairs of the Yue Kingdom royal family. If she is released and the Empress and Princess of Shang Kingdom find out, wouldn’t that reveal the secrets of the Yue Kingdom?

Xiao Qingyue must die!

.............

The entire city at the border of Yue Kingdom is under martial law.

The city was full of troops, who were stationed there to organize the city. It looked as if they were about to go to war.

General Li is the commander of the border garrison. He has no time to take care of the trivial matters of Xiao Qingyue and Feng Zhaoyun at this time. He has led his troops to garrison at the border of Yue Kingdom.

The border of Yue Kingdom is very close to Huicheng and can be reached in one hour.

In the main tent of the Shang army camp, Bai Jinzhi sat in the center, wearing a moon-white robe, with the figure of a banished immortal and the face of an enchantress.

Listening to the report from his subordinates, he smiled and said, "Oh? Starting tomorrow, we will march 100 troops every day and station them there. Whoever stands in our way will be killed!"

Xiao Yushan sat to one side and said, "This place is only a mile away from the Moon Country's military camp. Within five days, the Moon Country will definitely go to war with our army!"

Bai Jinzhi looked at Xiao Yushan with his peach blossom eyes, "General, there's no need to rush. If you don't hand over what my Shang Kingdom wants within five days, I will flatten her Yue Kingdom and storm the Imperial Palace!"

Xiao Yushan turned around. This Princess Royal was indeed a rare and handsome man, but what exactly did she want that made her insist on going to war with the Moon Nation? "I wonder what Her Highness Princess Royal's attitude is towards this. What does the Princess Royal want from the Moon Nation?"

Bai Jinzhi, "She is the most precious person to me and the Shang Kingdom. Your Highness... naturally agrees!"
