Noticing Qin Yushuang's gaze, Li Yang nodded gently.
"I have decided to set off immediately to Nanzhao to quell the chaos!"
He slowly uttered a few words, but it caused an uproar.
"Your Majesty, Nanzhao has become very powerful in recent years. We must not take it lightly!"
"Yes, your Majesty, please think again!"
Civil servants gave advice one after another.
Qin Yushuang waved her hand to signal them to be quiet: "I told you about this two years ago."
"You stopped me back then and said you wanted to be generous, but what about now?"
"Their Nanzhao Kingdom has repeatedly invaded our border. Am I just going to let them bully my Dayao Kingdom!"
Qin Yushuang stood up, and her loud voice resounded throughout the audience, causing all the ministers to shut up.
"I have been lying on the firewood for three thousand years and have endured all my gall, and I can avenge my shame. Why should I be afraid of a battle?"
Qin Yushuang shouted loudly, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, which spread throughout the palace.
"I am willing to be a pioneer!"
Li Yang suddenly stood up and shouted.
Qin Yushuang glanced at him and nodded: "Okay, Li Yang, listen to the order. You lead five thousand elite troops to conquer the Nanzhao Kingdom. You must win the Nanzhao Kingdom for me!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Li Yang bowed respectfully and immediately led the soldiers to the military camp.
"Li Yang... I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Qin Yushuang murmured to herself, her eyes flickering. She really had no one to use now.
During this month, in order to maintain the balance in the court, she put down all policies and rights.
This was simply a great shame and humiliation for the other courtiers, especially those old guys, who used this to cause trouble for her and made her miserable.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this?"
At this moment, a gray-haired veteran suddenly stood up and asked.
Qin Yushuang frowned and looked at the old minister: "Prime Minister Liu, are you questioning my decision?"
Liu Yuantao shook his head: "No, your Majesty's decision is the foundation of Dayan. How can a humble minister dare to make unreasonable remarks?"
"Then what do you mean?"
Qin Yushuang asked, secretly on guard. As a veteran of two dynasties, Liu Yuantao was an out-and-out old fox.
This old guy must have some conspiracy.
Liu Yuantao glanced at Qin Yushuang and sighed slightly: "What Wei Chen means is that your Majesty's attempt to suppress the rebellion this time may not go well, and you need to leave some room to guard against other countries."
"Your Majesty, Nanzhao has a vast territory, a diverse population, and a prosperous life for its people. It is a treasure land, but they have made the people resentful and miserable."
"Master Li, if he goes there this time, it might be okay if he encounters an enemy attack. But if he encounters turmoil deliberately provoked by them, he may be in trouble!"
"Furthermore, Mr. Li was promoted from eunuch. If you lead troops to fight, you may not be able to bring back good news."
"Wei Chen implores Your Majesty to take back the imperial edict!"
There was deep concern in his words.
Qin Yushuang was secretly shocked. Liu Yuantao really wanted to intervene with his own people. Even though he acted so quickly, he still found a reason.
But Qin Yushuang was still very calm in her heart, and said slowly: "I am the Supreme Being of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and when I make a promise, how can I go back on my word?"
"Your Majesty, Li Yang is indeed qualified to be a vanguard, but this time Nanzhao is coming fiercely, and it is still unknown whether Li Yang can win."
"Wei Chen thinks that your Majesty's move is quite inappropriate."
When Qin Yushuang heard this, his expression suddenly condensed.
She indeed ignored this matter. Although Li Yang was a little clever, he was not someone who had experienced war after all. If he was asked to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, he would still be a little inferior.
"Master Liu, Li Yang is an important minister of our court, I trust him!"
Liu Yuantao was startled when he heard this. He did not expect that Qin Yushuang would protect Li Yang like this. This was beyond his expectation.
However, Liu Yuantao said calmly: "Since your Majesty insists on doing this, I have no choice but to retreat. I wish your Majesty success in pacifying Nanzhao."
Liu Yuantao bowed his hands and stepped back.
Qin Yushuang sneered twice, waved her sleeves and sat on the dragon chair: "Ministers, do you have any suggestions?"
She glanced around and saw everyone talking about different ideas. Finally, they all knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others think that Li Yang is not suitable to lead troops on an expedition. "
"Wei Chen thinks it is better to send General Zhang as an envoy to Nanzhao to retrieve the city for His Majesty!"
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"
"Wei Chen also seconded the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, I agree with General Zhang's proposal!"
Everyone expressed their opinions, but Qin Yushuang remained silent, looking at them with increasingly cold expressions.
"It seems that my words are useless now, right?"
Everyone was suddenly startled and hurriedly lowered their heads: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I never meant this, but Your Majesty should have considered it thoroughly."
"Ha!" Qin Yushuang snorted coldly, and then asked sharply: "Li Yang is qualified to be a pioneer, which of you is qualified?"
"Although Li Yang is young, he is also a strong general. He can lead troops to suppress the rebellion. Do you have any?"
Everyone was speechless.
"Your Majesty, I have the guts to suggest that we let Wu'an Marquis Xiao Yunfei lead the army on an expedition."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Yushuang's face turned pale: "Nonsense!"
"Marquis Wu'an has been away from the capital for four years and is now traveling outside. How can he know how to fight."
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu'an has a high prestige in the army. He will definitely be more efficient than Master Li in leading troops to quell the chaos!"
"Wei Chen thinks that if His Majesty is worried, he can be given the title of General of Zhenxi and let him command the army and go with Mr. Li!"
A civil servant spoke eagerly, and the others quickly helped after seeing this.
"Wei Chen also thinks that Marquis Wu An can do it."
"Marquis Wu'an has made great military exploits. If he can lead an army on an expedition, he will definitely be able to ensure peace for all generations in Dayan."
Qin Yushuang gritted her teeth and stared at them, burning with anger.
"Okay, very good. Now that your wings have hardened, I can't do anything to you, right?"
She slammed the table and stood up, staring at the ministers with scarlet eyes.
The hall was instantly silent, and no one dared to say another word.
Qin Yushuang took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger boiling in her chest.
She looked at them and said: "My dear friends, I know that I am indeed a little partial now, but don't forget that Li Yang is the loyal and brave prince whom I personally designate."
"He represents the face of our Dayan Empire! If he fails completely in this expedition and brings shame to my royal family, how will the world view our Dayan?"
"Do you think I can bear the rebuke from people in the world?"
Qin Yushuang's words immediately stunned the ministers.
Only then did they realize that Li Yang was elected by them, and now that he is not doing well, they are indeed the ones who are embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, I am wrong!"
