270: C270 Seconded

C270 Seconded

His Majesty sighed.

Indeed, such shocking words caused the officials to be terrified, right?

Prime Minister Lee's brows furrowed violently.

He knew that the reason why His Majesty was able to say such words was because he had thought it through carefully. If he were to stand out and stop him at this moment, he would definitely be hated by His Majesty.

However, Prime Minister Lee had to go out at this moment!

He took a deep breath and was about to leave the hundred officials.

But at this moment, an official beside him pulled him back.

Prime Minister Lee turned his head and saw that it was Wu Lanqing, Sir Wu. He was in charge of all the money and food in the world. He originally belonged to his own camp and could be considered a person who did his duty.

If it was anyone else who pulled him back, Prime Minister Lee would have scolded them. However, when he saw Wu Lanqing, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Lord Li, we usually listen to you, but this is the only thing... I have been looking forward to this for many years. Now that His Majesty has brought it up, there must be a reason for His Majesty to do so. I hope Lord Li will not stop me."

Prime Minister Lee knew why he had done this, Wu Lanqing's hometown. Originally, it was at the border of the north, but once in the south of the North Wei. They slaughtered all the cities they lived in. There were a total of 17 people in their family. All of them died in that chaos.

Therefore, he truly hated the North Wei.

Prime Minister Lee didn't have the right to persuade such a person.

However, the other party had stopped him. This was a little too much.

"Sir Wu, I have to intervene in today's matter."

With their past friendship, calling him "Lord" only like this was somewhat unfamiliar.

The two of them naturally understood that the other party was really angry.

Prime Minister Lee decided not to bother with Sir Wu and continued to walk with large strides.

In the end, another official came out from the side and directly blocked Prime Minister Lee's path.

If Prime Minister Lee wanted to walk forward, he had to go around. He endured it and decided to go around. In the end, the other party blocked him again.

Those who could stand beside Prime Minister Lee were all important officials in the Imperial Court.

Who was so annoying?

He had both civil and military skills, Linghu. Dong!

"Lord Linghu? What are you doing?"

Linghu Dong smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to interfere in this matter."

He was always concise and decisive.

The southern canal attracted the rebellion of the people's resentment. He went, and he led three hundred axemen to make the final decision.

Sun Moon Country urged a small country to invade the Qin Country border. He led five thousand cavalry and also made the final decision.

There would always be some people in the Imperial Court who rarely debated with other officials.

Because as long as they said something, the others would give way.

Their words were simple, but not simple.

There were words in their words.

Prime Minister Lee frowned slightly. He actually walked back to his seat and really did not come out to stop His Majesty's "sudden idea."

Although the officials were shocked, they did not say anything.

The emperor was stunned.

He frowned and looked down coldly. No one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, an official stood up and bowed to the end. He said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is a brilliant plan. We agree!"

"Hmm?"

His majesty was even more stunned.

What?

Someone agreed to this matter?

He had originally thought of a line and was prepared to shout loudly, "Zhen wants to conquer a huge world!"

But now, he could not use it all at once?

His Majesty acted as if he was watching coldly from the sidelines. He wanted to see how many people would stand by that official's side.

In the end...

With a hubbub, more than a dozen officials stood out and cupped their hands in agreement.

As for the other officials, they did not have any intention of refuting.

Of course, on the side of generals, His Majesty did not need to look.

They had been silent for too long. There was no war, no credit. They rarely had the ability to be promoted. Moreover, if they did not have any military merits, even if they had a very high position now, it would still be empty. They couldn't stand the changes in the situation.

Therefore, no matter what the situation was, as long as there was a war, they would naturally be extremely excited and agree to it.

But civil servants...

In reality, whenever the Imperial Court discussed anything, it would be split into two factions or three factions. Even if the Emperor said that he wanted to change a furnace here, it would still be noisy below!

Why was there no objection to such a big matter?

His Majesty thought for a moment and could not help but think that his prestige had already been raised to a certain level. Hence, the officials did not dare to refute his words?

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

The truth would never be like this!

But in short, the matter was settled.

His Majesty took a deep breath. He did not expect that this matter, which clearly needed to be discussed for ten days to half a month, would actually be decided at the first moment.

It made him somewhat doubtful. Was this still the Imperial Court that he once knew?

Next, His Majesty was silent for a while and said, "Then everyone, who do you think I should send to be this general?"

All of a sudden, all the officials became silent again.

Everyone looked left and right.

Especially some of the civil servants, they kept looking at the faces of the military officials.

His Majesty also looked in that direction.

But when he saw one, he immediately lowered his head to avoid his Majesty's gaze.

His Majesty's eyes immediately twitched.

Good fellow!

After living in peace for so long, these military officers actually no longer have any courage?

If there was such a chance back then, the military officers below could even fight for a spot to go out!

But what was the matter now?

Were they all afraid? Were they all afraid?

If a general wasn't excited because of the war, then was there any need for him to be a general?

Those who think that the war is not good, that the people are suffering, that the people are suffering, that the people are suffering, that it is a great deed, that they think of this, that, against this, against that... there are many such people in His Majesty!

There were people in the Imperial Court, and there were also people outside of the Imperial Court.

There was no need for everyone to be like this.

His Majesty only needed one person to step forward and settle this matter properly when he needed to do something.

No matter what character he was, what purpose he had, or even if he had to suffer the Thousand Accusing Fingers, he would do his best to do so. Such a person was what His Majesty needed.

If everything was the same, would there still be a need for so many officials in the Imperial Court?

If there was someone who did it for face, there would be someone who did it.

If there were people who did clean things, there would be people who did things that were not so clean.

And generals were the ones who fought the war!

And they could win a war.

That was enough.

As for loyalty?

What was loyalty?

If His Majesty was a fool, there would be no loyalty in this world!

His Majesty understood this. From the age of five, he had started studying, and at the age of nine, he had read history. At that time, the old man who had passed away bent down, and his dirty eyes instantly became bright, profound, as he spoke word by word.

"For the Emperor, he is a loner. He must make use of everything he can, but do not believe everything, including this old man."

His Majesty did as he said.

Eight years later, his benefactor mentioned something that seemed to be meaningless. It was just a request for him, as a prince, to use his seal. Inscribe his own seal on a document that was clearly not dangerous.2

On the surface, he had promised to burn the book after bringing it back to his room.

Three days later, there was a court coup, a rivalry.

When he pressed the sword against his brother's neck, the guards following him dragged their master out from the back room.

The old man who was already in his twilight years looked haggard and his eyes were lifeless.

The old man crawled to his feet and begged him not to destroy his clan. At least... he would leave a trail of incense.

This time, His Majesty did not do as he was told.

After so many years, His Majesty would still think of this matter from time to time.

At that time, he already knew that his benefactor was not instigated to rebel. He was originally someone from the other party and arranged to be by his side. On one hand, he was monitoring him, and on the other hand, he was teaching to cripple him.

As the saying went, support and kill, and so on.

Whatever it was, His Majesty would not have his current future.

He was puzzled. Why did that old man at that time really teach him so much? All of it was sincere and true.

Could it be that that was the character of a scholar?

On one hand, it is to harm you, and on the other hand, it is your teacher. Since he is your teacher, then you must teach him, and give him all of his teachings?

It was very strange, he couldn't understand it. It was very strange.

It was also because His Majesty had such an experience that in terms of manpower, he was different from the wise sages.
