"But, I have a better way!"
Liu Qi's sudden change of conversation caught everyone off guard.
"My son believes that since he took office as the crown prince, he has indeed not made any meritorious deeds."
"Now that the Huns have invaded our territory, as the crown prince, I should share my father's worries."
"Master Yang's proposal can ensure that our country is safe for the time being, but if it happens again in the future, how should we, Daqing, deal with it?"
"At this point, I am willing to personally lead my Daqing cavalry to defeat the Xiongnu, once and for all, and relieve my Daqing worries!"
It was like a thunder on the ground.
Everyone in the court suddenly lost their composure.
When everyone thought about it, a prince who had never participated in a war bluntly said that he wanted to wipe out the Xiongnu. This is probably not the funniest joke in the world.
Liu Qi paid no attention to the comments of the courtiers and stared at Emperor Qing above.
After being surprised for a few seconds, Emperor Qing frowned.
"Liu Qi, do you think war is a child's play?"
Faced with doubts, Liu Qi put his hands together and bowed slightly.
"Father, my son and I naturally understand the cruelty of war, and we also know the stakes of war with the Xiongnu this time."
"I am here today. I would like to issue a military order. If you cannot defeat the Xiongnu, you will be punished by military law!"
Liu Qiyi's righteous attitude made all the officials in the court sigh.
Military orders cannot be said casually. What's more, it's in front of all the civil and military officials.
Is he crazy?
Emperor Qing, who was originally a little relieved about Liu Qi's sudden sexual change, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
When Wang Zhen saw this, he immediately stood up.
"Your Highness, now that our country has limited financial resources and outdated weapons, how can we fight against the Huns? And..."
The old rhetoric was brought out again.
But Liu Qi didn't tolerate him at all.
"Shut up! You are a little minister, are you worthy of talking about military matters?"
"When Taizu was still alive, he once said that anyone who slaughters the people of Daqing is our enemy. Have you all forgotten it? Or is it that there are already people here who have secretly communicated with the Xiongnu?"
Wang Zhen heard this and took two steps back in panic.
Liu Qi's words can be described as heart-breaking. When talking about Grandpa Taizu, he deliberately raised his voice a bit.
If someone stood up to refute the war at this time, it would not only be refuting the prince, but also refuting Emperor Taizu.
This is a crime of great disrespect, and no one would be stupid enough to take advantage of it.
Especially the last sentence is even more terrifying.
Anyone who tries to make peace with the Huns will probably be accused of colluding with foreign enemies.
Is this the useless prince? How can a loser say such a thing?
After the atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, Yang Wenyuan lowered his head and rolled his eyes again and again.
"What His Highness said is true, and the veteran also believes that the Huns should be taught some lessons to demonstrate the power of Daqing."
"Of course, my government is currently short of financial resources and the number of soldiers we can use is very limited. I'm afraid these problems will not be easy to solve."
The prince chuckled lightly and continued to bow to Emperor Qing without even looking at him.
"Father, if I lead an army, I only need 30,000 soldiers and horses. I can use a certain amount of money and food. There is no need to use the treasury. I have my own way!"
All the ministers sighed.
The prince is simply extremely arrogant!
Just want to defeat the Huns with 30,000 troops? This is simply a fantasy.
Although 30,000 soldiers and horses are not a lot, the money and food needed to travel long distances to fight is still a huge amount.
How could the prince alone raise such a huge sum of money without the support of the treasury?
From the perspective of everyone in the court, this is absolutely impossible.
Emperor Qing half-squinted his eyes, and in a daze, he seemed to see the shadow of the late emperor in Liu Qi's body.
"Bold Liu Qi! This is a court meeting, how dare you talk nonsense?"
Seeing that Emperor Qing was a little angry, Liu Qi held his head high and was not timid.
"I dare not, everything I said is true!"
A good sentence is true. The ministers laughed secretly in their hearts and started talking about it.
I just feel that the prince is young and does not understand military affairs, so he makes such arrogant remarks.
Emperor Qing kept rubbing the armrests of the dragon chair with his hands, scanning the audience, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Qi.
Although this boy is a little arrogant today, he is in a state that he has never been in before.
His confident look was indeed a bit like the arrogance of the late emperor.
Over the years, he was the only one who dared to treat Yang Wenyuan like this in the court.
Can I put my hope in him?
Emperor Qing hesitated. There was silence for a long time until the court became quiet.
"Liu Qi, since you are so confident, how long will it take to prepare for you to send troops?"
“Just March!”
All civil and military officials were in an uproar.
Even the most experienced generals in the court would not dare to go to Haikou like this.
Emperor Qing's pupils tightened.
The prince is absolutely crazy!
"What if we can't raise enough money in March?"
"My son, I must go to the Huns as a hostage!"
Emperor Qing leaned forward slightly.
"I have one more question, what will you do if you lose this battle against the Huns?"
"Since I have issued a military order, if I fail to win, I will naturally be subject to military law!"
To everyone's ears, the prince's answer was tantamount to forcing himself into a corner.
No matter which one is not achieved, it will not end well.
Whether it is planning money and food, or fighting against the Huns, this is a difficult task.
It can be said that under such a situation, Liu Qi has no chance of winning!
This time, Emperor Qing did not hesitate.
"Okay, I will give you this opportunity, three months, I will see how you explain!"
"Does the ministers have any objections to the prince's guarantee?"
Seeing that Yang Wenyuan seemed to want to stand up. Emperor Qing immediately changed his mind.
"Okay, this matter has been settled. I am tired, so I can withdraw from the court."
"Thank you very much, Father!"
By the time Yang Wenyuan reacted, Emperor Qing was already walking towards the back hall with the support of the eunuch.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
hiss...
It wasn't until Emperor Qing's figure disappeared that Yang Wenyuan seemed to feel something was wrong.
The father and son sang together, and in a blink of an eye, Liu Qi was out of danger of being deposed, and his own plan failed.
From this moment, he realized that Liu Qi's previous remarks were by no means arrogant. But it was already prepared.
Everything is paving the way for such a result.
He has only one real purpose, to command troops!
The intention is truly brilliant.
Today's Liu Qi doesn't look like a loser at all.
Or is it that he has been pretending for so many years?
Oh my God!
For more than ten years, Liu Qi had managed to hide this from everyone.
This kind of city is extremely deep.
At this point, when Yang Wenyuan looked at Liu Qi again, he couldn't help but feel fear.
no!
If this is the case, we cannot let this kid succeed.
Once the prince holds military power, who will be able to manipulate him at will in the future if he wins this war?
I'm afraid that if it weren't for the Yang family, they would have ended up in an irreversible end.
At this time, looking at the empty dragon chair, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the bet was right!
Even though this court meeting is full of dangers, Liu Qi knows that as long as he captures his father's will, this dilemma may be solved.
And he knew better that if he wanted to fight Yang Wenyuan's party, it was useless to rely on words alone.
If you want to survive, you must have real strength, and this strength comes from the military power granted by your father.
But how can military power be so easily obtained?
If it hadn't been for his arrogant words today, I probably wouldn't have gotten the opportunity given by my father.
The first step is taken.
Now there is no longer any way out. The courtiers will no longer treat themselves as a useless prince.
so what?
To retreat is to die, to advance is to survive!
Since God has given me such a life, I will never take a step back!
Just when Liu Qi was thinking about it, he met Yang Wenyuan's eyes...
