Chapter 1078 [Ancient Juechen 19]
Human world
In the magnificent palace hall, a group of ministers looked solemn. They stood in a row, holding thick memorials in their hands, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, the harem cannot be without a concubine for a day. Your Majesty cannot be without a queen. Please choose a husband and a concubine."
Murong Sangsang sat upright on the dragon throne, her face as gloomy as water, her eyes firmly looking at the ministers below, and she slowly said: "The Southern Barbarians have repeatedly invaded our Great Xia. I don't have the mind to consider these. I plan to lead the army in person and destroy the Southern Barbarians."
The ministers all looked grim upon hearing this. One of them stood up and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the right thing to do! It is too dangerous to lead the army in person. If something happens to Your Majesty, what will happen to the world?"
Murong Sangsang remained unmoved, her voice becoming even colder: "I have made up my mind, no need to persuade me anymore. The Southern Barbarians have repeatedly invaded our borders, burning, killing and looting, and the people are suffering. As the ruler of a country, how can I sit back and watch?"
The ministers were embarrassed to see Murong Sangsang's firm attitude, but they still refused to give up and continued to persuade him: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the country, you should choose your concubines first. With the company of the queen and concubines, Your Majesty will feel more at ease."
Murong Sangsang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "No need, it won't be too late to choose concubines after I return triumphantly." After that, she stood up, flicked her sleeves, turned and left, leaving the ministers looking at each other in bewilderment in the hall.
"This, this, this...what should we do?" The minister said with a worried look on his face, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness.
"Forget it, forget it. Didn't His Majesty say that he would make a decision after he returns from the expedition? Let's just wait patiently." A respected minister comforted him. His tone was calm and firm, and he seemed to have full confidence in the emperor's decision.
"This is the only way." The minister sighed and agreed helplessly.
At this time, another minister suddenly interrupted and said, "Should we first select those unengaged young men in the capital?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The other ministers echoed, "Your Majesty has always liked people with good looks, and those with ugly looks will definitely not be selected. We must carefully select and choose the most handsome and most handsome man, so that he can match your majesty's beauty. After all, the appearance of the next generation of emperors cannot be bad. Your Majesty is so beautiful, we must not let her descendants have ordinary looks."
"Well, that's quite true." The ministers nodded in agreement.
"Then let's start preparing first, and when His Majesty returns triumphantly, we can start the selection directly." The minister suggested.
So the ministers began to get busy. They sent people to various places in the capital to inquire about the situation of unengaged men and collect their information and photos for screening and comparison.
Murong Sangsang finished the morning court and returned to the imperial study. She sat at the desk and began to look through the piles of memorials. She read each memorial attentively, and occasionally annotated her opinions and decisions on them.
After dealing with some memorials, Murong Sangsang called a servant and told him to summon General Bai's son Bai Jue to the imperial study. She wanted to discuss with Bai Jue about attacking the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
Not long after, Bai Jue arrived at the imperial study. As soon as he entered, he knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am here to see Your Majesty. I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me?"
Murong Sangsang looked at Bai Jue with a smile, and then said, "My dear Bai, please stand up. I called you here today to discuss with you the plan to attack the Southern Barbarian Kingdom."
Bai Jue stood up, walked to the desk, stood still and said, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions for this attack on the Southern Barbarian Kingdom?"
Murong Sangsang picked up a defense map from the table, handed it to Bai Jue, and said, "Take a look, this is my preliminary plan."
Bai Jue took the defense map and read it carefully. As he read, he thought about Murong Sangsang's plan and nodded in agreement from time to time.
After a while, Bai Jue finished reading the defense map, raised his head and said to Murong Sangsang, "Your Majesty, your method is indeed very good. I think this plan is very comprehensive."
Murong Sangsang was quite satisfied after hearing Bai Jue's words. She continued, "Yes, I also think this plan is feasible. However, I also plan to lead the army in person to attack the Southern Barbarian Kingdom."
Bai Jue heard this and said quickly, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! The battlefield is dangerous, your Majesty's body is worth millions, how can you easily put yourself in danger?"
Murong Sangsang waved his hand and said, "My dear Bai, don't worry. I have made up my mind. I will personally lead the attack on the Southern Barbarians this time. You will be my deputy and lead the army with me to conquer the Southern Barbarians in one fell swoop."
Seeing that Murong Sangsang was determined, Bai Jue stopped trying to dissuade her. He knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will obey your order."
