Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: I Am Just Informing You

Thinking of those sinister plans, Xiao Jun’an forcefully suppressed the tyranny in his heart.

Historically, the perished Xia Country once launched wars during plagues, leading to massive casualties and bodies strewn everywhere.

Once the plague warfare begins, even a 500,000-strong Huns army, if infested with the epidemic, could not say they would be wholly annihilated within a month but would be substantially decimated.

However, once the Huns soldiers contracted the disease, during the battle between the two armies, both the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Frontier could hardly escape this calamity.

Xiao Jun’an would not abandon the people of the Northern Frontier unless he was left with no other choice, nor was he willing to bear such a heavy sin.

The appearance of Huo Yuning was just in time.

As long as he could repel the Huns, Xiao Jun’an would be able to take action with peace of mind and handle the disasters in the south and north.

The disaster was severe; in addition to the officials in their positions but not seeking to govern, it also involved the local wealthy businessmen, who lost their conscience due to national distress and resorted to unscrupulous measures.

Collusion between officials and merchants, disregarding the safety of the people of a province, and not killing them would be hard to relieve the hatred in one’s heart.

The ministers kneeling in Qinzheng Hall were all stupefied by the Emperor’s remarks about establishing the Empress.

The Prime Minister furrowed his brows and stared directly at the Imperial countenance: "Your Majesty, I think since General Su defends the frontier, for the sake of pacifying the General, Su Noble Consort should be established as Empress."

Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Personnel: "I second the motion!"

Senior Scholar of the Inner Court: "I second the motion!"

Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Personnel: "I second the motion!"

"I second the motion..."

More than twenty ministers, the majority opposed, while others were still observing.

Only the Grand Tutor knelt at the forefront, as still as an old monk in meditation.

Su Jingshu, the daughter of General Su, was sent to the imperial harem with a clear goal aimed at the position of Empress.

A few days ago, when General Su learned that the State Preceptor wanted to place the lonely Anjin in the position of Empress, he urgently sent an eight hundred li express message to impede.

His words were earnest, respectful, and pleading, begging not to hurt his daughter’s heart, eventually hinting that if His Majesty dared to appoint another as Empress, he would dare to throw in the towel and quit!

This matter was crystal clear in the former court and the imperial harem.

But what no one knew was that with the urgent message also came a secret letter.

The easily defended but hard to attack Northern Frontier couldn’t hold on any longer.

With no fresh troops to replenish and insufficient supplies, they could last at most another four months.

General Su had resolved to defend the Northern Frontier to his death, inevitably facing death in the end.

He only pleaded with the Emperor to protect the Su Family bloodline in Capital City and Su Noble Consort in the palace, and if His Majesty truly disliked her, he earnestly requested to let her leave the palace.

Xiao Jun’an thought of the pressure he had carried these days and the tear-stained ink in General Su’s secret letter, his lips pressing tighter and turning slightly downwards.

His cold and sharp eyes swept over the ministers kneeling in the hall as he said nonchalantly, "I am merely informing you all."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister blurted out: "Your Majesty, this absolutely must not be! The background of Anjin is unclear..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jun’an glanced towards Mo Wanqing standing in the hall.

"Commander Mo, the Prime Minister is unwell. Send someone to escort him out of the palace to return home and let him recover at ease."

"Your Majesty!" The Prime Minister was stunned.

Recovering at ease? This was even more unbearable than being dismissed from office.

Commander Mo gestured, and two guards rushed to the Prime Minister, crudely covering his mouth and dragging him out of the palace hall.

The vast Qinzheng Hall fell into silence.

Xiao Jun’an presented the Imperial Decree to Anjin: "Go to Anjin and announce the decree, let her prepare with peace of mind for tomorrow’s conferment."

"This servant obeys the decree!"

Anjin, holding the Imperial Decree, took two steps back, turned around, and quickly left.

Xiao Jun’an scanned the ministers in the hall and slowly instructed about tomorrow’s conferment ceremony: "Tomorrow is the grand ceremony of the Empress’s conferment. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will rush to produce a decent Phoenix Robe overnight.

The conferment ceremony will be simplified; sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, the Ancestral Temple, inform the Royal Family and the nobility..."
