Chapter 1690: The battle of tribulations (1)
The eyes of all the Dukes, nobles, and members of the imperial family were fixed on that blue dress.
Wei Yuan … He was back.
The familiar green clothes, the familiar face, the familiar temperament, the familiar … White sideburns.
In that instant, the entire Palace fell into an unusual silence.
After the initial shock, there was silence.
“Wei Yuan pays his respects to Your Majesty!”
Wei Yuan walked to the throne and cupped his hands.
Huaiqing’s gaze swept across the officials, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
“Why aren’t you speaking?”
The hall was still silent. No one answered the Empress’s question. They stared at Wei Yuan. Some of them widened their eyes, trying to find evidence that he was a fake.Some people’s eyes were slightly red, hot tears brewing;Some people were ecstatic, and they were so excited that they were trembling.
“Wei, Duke Wei?”
The current head of the Wei faction, Liu Hong, had bloodshot eyes. He trembled as he walked forward to examine the situation closely. He sobbed,
“Didn’t you die in Jingshan city?”
He asked the question that the ministers in the hall had. They were all skeptical about da Qingyi who had appeared in front of them.
Wei Yuan had been dead in Jingshan city for almost half a year. Outsiders only knew that he had sacrificed his life for the country, but they knew more details. When he died, he could have left his body behind.
How could he be resurrected when his body was gone?
Wei Yuan smiled warmly, ”
“It’s nothing strange, it’s just a resurrection.”
Resurrection, that’s it?
The Empress added,
“After the death of Lord Wei, Xu Qi ‘an has been trying to resurrect him, remold his physical body, and refine a magic tool to summon his soul. On the day of the Spring Festival, I personally recalled Wei Yuan’s soul.”
Only then did everyone realize that the Empress wasn’t present at the Spring Festival.
He thought she was in a bad mood and didn’t want to do the spring sacrifice, but she secretly resurrected Wei Yuan?
It was Xu Qi. an who had helped him rebuild his body and recall his soul … The civil and military officials were suddenly enlightened, and the doubts in their hearts dissipated.
It wasn’t that they didn’t trust the Empress. Alright, they just didn’t trust her.
No matter how talented the Empress was, she was still a mortal. None of them believed her when she said that she had revived Wei Yuan.
But if it was Xu Qi ‘an, they were willing to believe him. That was because Xu Qi ‘an was a rank-2, a top figure in the world.
“It turns out that Xu yinluo already had a plan.”
“He has been secretly trying to revive Wei Yuan for a long time.”
“If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t have had to worry every day.”
The Duke’s heart was filled with complicated emotions as he discussed this.
It turned out that Xu Qi ‘an had already done so many things without them knowing. That kid sometimes made people gnash their teeth in hatred, but as the saying went, when one was on the same side as him, one would feel inexplicably at ease.
Seeing that the officials had started to discuss again, the backbone of the Wei faction was full of excitement and spoke incoherently. The Empress glanced at the seal eunuch.
Pa!
The middle-aged eunuch flicked his wrist, and the whip hit the bright ground.
The ministers fell silent.
The Empress’s voice was cold and majestic.
“Let’s talk about the old days after the court is dismissed.
“Retreating to the capital is the Duke of Wei’s idea. What do you think?”
The same question was asked a second time, but the Dukes stopped talking.
They looked at each other, then at the Empress and then at Wei Yuan. After a while, Liu Hong, Zhang xingying, and the other members of the Wei faction shouted, ”
“We will follow your Majesty’s decision.”
Following that, Qian Qingshu and the other members of the Royal faction all expressed that they would listen to the Empress’s decision and retreat to the capital to fight the Yunzhou Army.
They didn’t submit to the general trend, but they truly felt that there was hope. Even the Royal faction, who used to be Wei Yuan’s political enemies, was like a ray of light in the dark sky when they saw Wei Yuan.
From the battle of the Northern Territory to the Battle of Shanhai Pass, to the fall harvest when the 100000-strong Army flattened the headquarters of the witch God religion, the war god Da Feng had never lost.
……… Huaiqing pursed his lips and said with mixed feelings,
“I’ll have to trouble all of you to help Duke Wei defend the capital.
“Withdraw the court!”
…………
“Go!”
The luxurious carriage galloped along the wide streets of the Imperial City. The wheels rolled, and the coachman kept whipping the horse. It was not that he was anxious, but that the chief Assistant in the carriage kept urging him.
The coachman had an ominous feeling. He suspected that chief advisor Wang zhenwen’s days were numbered, and chief advisor Qian was in a hurry to see him for the last time.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside the king’s residence. Qian Qingshu did not give the Squire a chance to help him. He steadily jumped off the carriage and quickly walked into the king’s residence.
They passed through the outer courtyard and winding corridors before arriving at Wang zhenwen’s bedroom. The Butler of the Wang family accompanied them and said,
“Chief advisor Qian, chief advisor Qian … Allow this lowly one to report to master.”
Qian Qingshu ignored him and went straight to the bedroom. He then looked at the Butler and motioned for him to knock on the door.
The Butler did as he was told and whispered, ”
“Old master, Qian shoufu is here.”
He didn’t dare to shout too loudly for fear of disturbing Wang zhenwen’s rest.
Not long after, a young maidservant opened the bedroom door and said in a low voice, ”
“The old master invites you in.”
