Chapter 1100: Emergency News from Shanling Pass

"Even if he came from Shanling Pass, it wouldn't be good news!" The man who just said that the court's words were unreliable was a little embarrassed and retorted: "I think it's most likely news of a defeat."

This time, no one refuted him again, even the passerby who just spoke up was as worried as the people around him.

"You say, why did His Majesty let such a young and inexperienced person be the commander-in-chief of the three armies? This, this..." This man didn't say anything. Although Nanping Kingdom did not completely stop the people from talking about state affairs, it was not appropriate to criticize the emperor.

However, the people around him understood the meaning of his words.

"That rumor, it can't be true." Someone whispered.

The rumor about Wu Ya and Wu Fan has been spreading in Fengyu City for some time. When everyone gets together privately, they will more or less mention it, but now they are in a public place after all, and they still have some concerns in their hearts, and their voices are unconsciously smaller.

"There is no smoke without fire, and I can't think of any other reason to let such a young man be in charge of the war."

"A woman claiming to be an emperor is really ridiculous!" A brave young man said angrily.

"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that the court is investigating rumors recently. Be careful that you will be sent to prison." The person next to him reminded him quickly.

"I'm not afraid of being sent to prison! If I can save our Nanping Kingdom, I'm willing to die!" The young man said calmly, with a look of fearlessness on his face.

"I heard that the young man named Wu Fan saved His Majesty, and he has extraordinary abilities. Perhaps he can defeat the Black Water Kingdom." When everyone was dissatisfied with Wu Ya's appointment of Wu Fan as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, a voice refuted Wu Fan, and this voice was undoubtedly very harsh to everyone's ears.

"Perhaps, he really saved His Majesty, but it is too much to appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and take charge of all the armies of our Nanping Kingdom."

"Yes, even if he saved His Majesty's life, he should be rewarded in other ways, such as giving him some money and making him a viscount or earl. Now he is directly made a marquis and appointed as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. It is indeed a bit too much."

"Can he defeat the army of the Black Water Kingdom? Unless the sun rises from the west!"

The people around him refuted one after another.

"I am just guessing." The man who just spoke saw that his words aroused public anger, and his momentum weakened immediately.

The crowd seemed to be still unsatisfied, and they all said the faults of Wu Fan and Wu Ya. The scale of their words became larger and larger, and the anger in their hearts became heavier.

This is just an inconspicuous corner of Fengyu City, but it reflects the mentality of most people in the city at this time. After a series of recent events, plus someone deliberately slandered the relationship between Wu Fan and Wu Ya, the people in Fengyu City became more and more dissatisfied with Wu Ya and the court.

Although Wu Ya, who was in the palace, did not see this scene with her own eyes, she had already felt the pressure.

In the court recently, Wu Ya felt some subtle changes. When the ministers in the court faced her, whether it was the tone of their speech or the expression on their faces, they seemed to be less respectful than before, and her words were often refuted.

Wu Ya knew why all this happened, but she had just ascended the throne and did not have her own direct line in the court. Even Zhao Xingnian, who supported her before, could not support her in all matters.

If this situation continued, Wu Ya knew the consequences very well. She would either be driven off the throne or become a puppet without power. There would be no third situation.

The solution to this dilemma was also very simple, that is, to establish her prestige in the court and among the people.

However, although the solution was simple, it was not easy to implement. If Wu Ya was given enough time and through her efforts, she might be able to do this, but, whether at home or abroad, she was not given this time.

Wu Ya knew very well that the current situation was very unfavorable to her. If Wu Fan, whom she strongly supported, was defeated on the front line, then it would most likely lead to her defeat.

"Wu Fan, what happened to you?" Wu Ya thought while sitting in the imperial study.

Wu Ya has been thinking about this question recently. It can be said that the result of Shanling Pass has a huge and direct impact on Wu Ya.

If Wu Fan loses, then Wu Ya's prestige in the court and among the people will further decline, and more people will believe in the rumor, and it will be very difficult for Wu Ya to truly control the country.

If Wu Fan wins, then Wu Ya will get a chance to breathe and gain the trust of some ministers and people. Even if others still doubt the truth of the rumor, they will no longer question Wu Ya's use of people, and the damage to Wu Ya from the rumor will naturally be minimized.

Therefore, the result of Shanling Pass is crucial!

"Report!"

"Emergency report from Shanling Pass!"

When Wu Ya was distressed about this matter, the shrill voice of the eunuch at the door sounded, waking up Wu Ya from her daze.

Bang!

When Wu Ya heard the three words "Shanling Pass", her body shook subconsciously, and the pen in her hand, which was used to review memorials, fell to the ground.

There was news from Shanling Pass!

Wu Ya had been looking forward to the news from Shanling Pass, but when there was real news, she felt nervous. After all, the result there was too important for her and their Nanping Kingdom.

"Urgent news from Shanling Pass!"

Without a response from Wu Ya, the eunuch outside the imperial study reported again, and the volume was also raised a few points.

"Come in... come in!" Wu Ya came back to her senses and replied.

No matter what the result was, since the news had come, she could not escape and could only face it.

The door of the imperial study was opened, and a soldier who was exhausted walked in under the guidance of the eunuch outside the door.

The soldier came to Wu Ya, knelt down, held up a memorial high, and said loudly to Wu Ya: "Urgent news from Shanling Pass, please read it, Your Majesty."

The eunuch standing next to Wu Ya hurriedly stepped forward, took the memorial, and placed it in front of Wu Ya.

Wu Ya looked at the memorial in front of her, and the tension in her heart became even stronger. She hesitated for a moment, and with a bit of trepidation, she picked up the memorial and flipped through it.

"Okay!"

Wu Ya looked at the memorial for a few seconds, and suddenly stood up in a rather awkward manner, with a look of joy on her face.

The urgent news from Shanling Pass was a victory!
