Hearing this, Fan Ju's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but looking at Xiang Kunlun's appearance, he didn't say anything more after all, but took a few steps back and returned to his position.
Although he is a remonstrating minister, he has refuted His Majesty many times today. If he does this again and again, it will be beyond the duty of a minister.
Even if he is a lonely and important minister, and he has a sharp weapon such as the king's whip, which can knock the emperor unconscious at the top and beat the sycophants at the bottom, it is still inappropriate.
Therefore, he chose to give in.
He didn't believe that Li Changkong could change His Majesty's mind with just a few words.
If this is really the case, then I, the great Chu Zaifu, might as well let Li Changkong do it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Changkong saluted again, then stood tall, raised his head and looked directly at Xiang Kunlun, and said loudly: "May I ask, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of my name as Emperor Da Qian Qian Wu!"
Xiang Kunlun couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.
The only true Grand Master in thousands of years, he defeated the Bei Yuan Wolf Cavalry during the peak period of the Bei Yuan Dynasty and expelled them from Shanhaiguan.
How could he not recognize such a heroic figure?
"May I ask, Your Majesty, how would you rate our Emperor Qianwu?" Li Changkong asked again.
"He is a hero!" Xiang Kunlun sighed with emotion.
Yes, looking at the past emperors of Daqian, he, Xiang Kunlun, only looked up to these two people.
One of them is Emperor Qianwu.
The other person is Qian Gaozu, who started from humble beginnings and established Daqian from scratch!
Not only him, but all the countries in the four directions, from the emperors to the traders and servants, all spoke highly of these two people!
"Then I dare to ask, how does your majesty compare to our ancestors of Qianwu?"
As soon as Li Changkong said these words, the atmosphere in the entire hall became stagnant.
Fan Ju and Long Zuo looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Since Li Changkong entered the palace, he has been taking the initiative to lower his profile in order to seek protection from Da Chu.
But now this sentence can't be said to be very friendly, it even smells of provocation.
"I should be on par with you." Xiang Kunlun said in a deep voice, the smile no longer on his face.
Yes, even if he is as conceited as he is, when faced with a legend like Emperor Qianwu, he can only dare to say that he is on par with him, but he dare not say that he can surpass him.
This was the weight of Emperor Daqian Wu who dominated an era! He is a true legend!
In terms of force, he was the undisputed number one in thousands of years. In terms of merit, he defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which was at the height of its power and made all the countries in the four directions miserable.
Such a character is really rare to meet in thousands of years!
"Then I dare to ask your majesty again, how do you want to compare with my Qianwu ancestors?"
"Destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty, unify the Nine Provinces, and restore the glory of Chu for 800 years."
"In this way, I can compete with you in martial arts!" Xiang Kunlun's eyes brightened, and his words were filled with strong confidence.
However, when Li Changkong heard this, he shook his head, even sneered twice, and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, I am afraid you will never be able to compare with the ancestors of Qianwu."
boom!
Xiang Kunlun slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard, causing the armrest to dent.
The atmosphere in the hall was even more stagnant. All the civil and military officials lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Xiang Kunlun.
Occasionally, a few people glanced at Li Changkong with their peripheral vision, and it was like looking at a dead person.
How dare he?
Where did he have the courage to speak to His Majesty like this?
You know, people with great abilities are often more conceited.
Xiang Kunlun is this kind of person. In his heart, he has always been unparalleled in the world, and he will definitely achieve great achievements in the future!
However, according to Li Changkong, he could never compare to Emperor Qianwu, let alone surpass him.
How could he not be angry?
"Tell me your reasons, otherwise, I will make you splash with blood on the spot!" Xiang Kunlun's tone was calm, but anyone could feel the awe-inspiring murderous intent in it!
Obviously, Bu Zhan's trick didn't work for Xiang Kunlun.
If Li Changkong couldn't explain why, he would really take action! And do it yourself!
To this end, Li Jibei took half a step back, pressing his body down, like a sharp arrow ready to go.
He knew that the point of the negotiation was coming!
If we can reach an agreement, that would be good.
But if the negotiation fails, he will try his best to ensure Li Changkong escapes later!
However, even with this thought, Li Jibei's palms and back couldn't stop sweating.
At this moment, the pressure brought by Xiang Kunlun on the dragon chair was like a ten thousand-foot mountain, almost making him breathless.
"Your Majesty may think what I said is not nice, but I dare to ask Your Majesty, what were the conditions for joining the martial arts ancestors in the first place? What are your conditions now?"
"A hundred years ago, the Great Chu King's Cavalry and the Western Qin's Iron Cavalry were not yet born."
"The Beiyuan Wolf Cavalry is unparalleled in the world! As long as the formation is spread out in an open area and the Wolf Cavalry charges, no matter how elite the Han soldiers are, they will only fall apart!"
"Faced with such Beiyuan, not to mention all the countries in the four directions at that time, even Dachu, how can it be better?"
"He is also in danger of being succumbed to the iron hooves of a wolf cavalry!"
"It was my Qianwu ancestor who came out of nowhere and took the eight thousand Qianwu soldiers he had trained to bravely go north to face the main force of Bei Yuan!"
"One fight and victory!"
"Since then, it has become famous all over the world and has spread throughout the country!"
"But your Majesty must not forget that Daqian at that time had a small territory, a remote location, and a weak national power!"
"Eight thousand Qian soldiers are the limit of Da Qian!"
"But even so, the ancestors of Qianwu dared to attack and resist the main force of Beiyuan who was at its peak."
"In the end, the weak can defeat the strong, and thus be remembered forever."
"What about Your Majesty?"
"Today's Chu State is indeed powerful. There is plenty of food, the treasury is full, there are millions of men in armor, and there are as many generals as there are men capable of fighting!"
"If ancestor Qianwu had been given such a configuration, Beiyuan might have been directly destroyed by his old man!"
"But where is your Majesty?"
"Don't dare to send troops! Huddle in the Chu capital city and watch Bei Yuan show off his power!"
"Comparing the two, how dare you say that you deserve to be compared?"
After what Li Changkong said, not to mention Xiang Kunlun, all the civil and military officials in Da Chu were so angry that their faces turned red.
The look he looked at Li Changkong was fierce.
I wish I could eat its flesh and drink its blood.
This also made Li Jibei even more stressed, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
"Are you done?" Xiang Kunlun finally spoke, his tone still low, but like the eve of a storm, making people feel unparalleled depression.
"I haven't finished yet. This is just one of the reasons why His Majesty is inferior to the Qianwu ancestors. There are two others!"
"Your Majesty, do you dare to continue listening?"
Gudong!
As soon as these words came out, the sound of civil and military officials swallowing their saliva resounded in the hall.
They really couldn't understand why a mere capable envoy could have such courage.
Is he really not afraid of death?
