: Officials forced to marry (please collect)

Ouyang Xiu's heart convulsed when he saw Zeng Qingfeng. He came out so quickly. The refining must have failed!

This is a fifth-grade elixir!

How could it be successfully refined so quickly?

He was already mentally prepared, so he did not blame Zeng Qingfeng, but took the initiative to say:

"Brother Zeng, forget it if you fail, let's just continue collecting medicinal materials next time."

"Who said it failed?"

Zeng Qingfeng showed a bright smile, turned his palm over, and a dozen elixirs emitting light appeared in his palm.

Ouyang Xiu swept his consciousness and said excitedly:

"It's really a black ice elixir, twelve in total, and they're all perfect! Brother Zeng, did you really refine this in just one stick of incense?"

"Of course, if I hadn't wasted some time sorting out the medicinal materials, my refining time would have been shorter."

Zeng Qingfeng's words made Ouyang Xiu feel like an adult. He had heard before that elixirs of grade five or above not only take a long time to refine, but also have a high failure rate.

The higher the grade of the elixir, the higher the failure rate!

He had already prepared himself mentally for the refining failure. Even if it succeeded, he would still be able to accept even if it was just a low-grade Xuan Bing Ling Dan.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Qingfeng not only succeeded in refining it in one go, but also made it perfect grade, and the quantity was amazing.

Based on the success rate and quality of this refining, Zeng Qingfeng definitely killed all the alchemists of the same level instantly.

The most important thing is that Zeng Qingfeng is still very young and has unlimited potential in the future.

He still didn't know that Zeng Qingfeng was stronger than him, otherwise he would definitely suspect that he had been practicing as a dog for hundreds of years.

Zeng Qingfeng didn't feel complacent either, because these were normal things to him.

He is only a seventh-level alchemist now, and there are eight, ninth, grandmaster, and divine levels above him.

So he still has a long way to go, and there is nothing worth showing off.

But he doesn't know that even if a master-level alchemist refines fifth-grade elixirs, there is no guarantee that he will be able to refine a perfect-level elixir!

"Brother Ouyang, you put the elixir away first, and then you can take the elixir and practice after you come back from the Marshal's Mansion!"

"I understand! Brother Zeng, I will go to court now to see if my siblings need help!"

Ouyang Xiu always felt that he wanted to do something for Zeng Qingfeng and Wu Meier, otherwise he would not be able to express his gratitude at all.

Zeng Qingfeng did not stop him. There were not many loyal ministers in the court now, and they did not dare to contradict the prime minister in person. You can imagine how much pressure Wu Meier was under.

"Then please, Brother Ouyang, please help my wife as much as you can!"

"That's right! Big brother will protect you from now on. Brother Zeng, I won't send you off. I'll go first."

After Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, he cupped his hands and teleported away the next moment.

He didn't know that Zeng Qingfeng's strength had surpassed him, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to say anything to protect the couple.

"Brother Ouyang is really impatient."

Zeng Qingfeng couldn't help but smile, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Of course he won't go back to sleep. He still has a lot to do to help Wu Meier.

At this time, in the main hall, Wu Meier's face looked a little livid.

Prime Minister Lu Shangrong was pressing forward every step of the way, and showed no respect at all when facing Wu Meier:

"Your Majesty the Empress, you'd better issue an order as soon as possible about allocating food, grass and military pay to the border that you just mentioned! Without enough food and grass, how can the soldiers fight against foreign enemies?"

"Let me think about this again!"

Wu Mei'er was a little angry. Lu Shangrong was talking about allocating military pay and food to Marshal Mu's army in the north, but he had just allocated a large amount of military pay and food six months ago.

Similarly, the armies on the east, west, and south sides do not need so much military supplies!

Moreover, the treasury is currently empty, and she cannot provide so much military supplies to the border.

If you agree, it must be deducted from the military supplies of the Imperial City Guards, and the Imperial City Guards will definitely lose their morale.

If he refuses, the prime minister will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack and lead the officials to continue forcing the palace.

Sure enough, when Lu Shangrong saw that she did not agree immediately, he immediately took two steps forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the Empress, the so-called food and grass go first when the two armies are fighting. You can consider it, but the enemy will not give us time to think about it! You should give the order as soon as possible!"

Behind him, a group of civil and military officials also stepped forward and asked for the performance:

"Your Majesty, please give the order as soon as possible!"

This was almost trying to force the palace. Wu Meier was furious, but she couldn't take down all these officials, right?

Just when she was in a dilemma, a deep voice sounded, causing all the officials' expressions to change:

"The empress said that we should think about it. Are you unable to understand or do you want to resist the decree?"

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of the official.

Some officials were well-educated, especially some military attachés, who were all shocked when they saw the old man in front of them.

The prime minister's face turned pale. He had met Ouyang Xiu, so he quickly saluted and said:

"Ouyang Zongfeng, I didn't expect to wake you up!"

Ouyang Xiu has served three generations of emperors, so of course he has seen such a big shot.

But I also heard that Ouyang Xiu had long thought of leaving Chang'an City, and he would not listen to Wu Meier's orders on weekdays. Why did he appear here today?

A bad premonition arose in his heart, and Ouyang Xiu's sudden appearance broke his previous plan.

Sure enough, Ouyang Xiu snorted coldly and said:

"I have encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation recently, so I want to get out and do some activities. I told Mei'er last night that I will be given some things to do recently to stretch my legs."

Hearing this, Lu Shangrong and all the officials' expressions changed. Is this Enlightenment-level worshiper going to come out from behind the scenes and officially help the empress?

Lu Shangrong was not sure what Ouyang Xiu was thinking, so he could only look at Wu Meier and said:

"Empress, what do you mean?"

When Wu Meier saw Ouyang Xiu standing like a mountain in front of her, she felt confident:

"Didn't I just say that I should consider the border matter for a few days! If Marshal Mu cannot hold on, it only shows that he is incompetent!"

"According to the order!"

After hearing this, Lu Shangrong could only bow and retreat with a dark face. Ouyang Xiu interfered with the drama of forcing the palace into the palace, and Lu Shangrong and other officials could only grit their teeth secretly.

But even if Ouyang Xiu stood there and said nothing, no one dared to have any thoughts.

Seeing that there was nothing important to do, Wu Meier quickly announced her resignation.

After all the officials left, leaving only Chang Rongsheng waiting for orders, Wu Meier stood up and walked to Ouyang Xiu and said:

"Thank you, Brother Ouyang, for your help. If you hadn't appeared in time, I really don't know what I would have done."

If the prime minister's request is agreed to, the national treasury will be seriously short of money, and these money and supplies can only be deducted from the imperial city guards.

Over time, it will definitely cause instability in military morale.

If taxes are raised on the private sector to fill the state treasury, it will also cause instability in public sentiment and social unrest.

At this time, someone suddenly rebelled. Who of the imperial city guards would work for the emperor?

Therefore, the prime minister's tactics were very vicious. He just wanted to empty out the national treasury and make Wu Meier lose the morale of the military and the people.

Ouyang Xiu waved his hand and said:

"We are all our own people, brothers and sisters, don't be polite! Now let's discuss yesterday's plan."
