"The Emperor has arrived!"
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Looking at Emperor Qing walking out of the back hall, Liu Qi looked solemn.
It’s only been a few days since I last saw him, and my father seems to have aged a lot.
The most important thing is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Qing looks very haggard and his mental state does not seem to be very good.
"No gifts."
"Although I haven't gone to court these days, I have read all your memorials, Li Shouting."
Hearing this, Li Shouting quickly stood up from the crowd.
"I'm here."
"I saw in your memorial that the female empire in the east often posts troops on the border and seems to have the intention of invading. I hope I can prepare early."
"In recent years, the female empire and I, Daqing, have been on good terms with each other and have never stopped doing business with each other. Are what you said a bit alarmist?"
Li Shouting bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty, what I said is definitely not based on speculation."
"Ever since the late emperor sent troops to capture the land of Lucheng, the female empire has always been worried about this. Although many years have passed, she has never thought of giving up the land of Lucheng."
Liu Qi remembered seeing it in history books.
The land of Lucheng is a very special place. To put it simply, it is an intermediate hub between Qingguo.
To the west are the Xiongnu, and to the south you can reach Korea.
Whether the female empire wants to reach South Korea, or travel from the land of the Xiongnu to other countries, it must pass through the territory of Lucheng.
At present, the Tang Dynasty is eyeing the empire. If the female empire wants to develop, it must win over South Korea so that it can have peace of mind.
Therefore, for such an important place, the female empire has never thought about plundering it, but it is concerned about the power of Daqing, so it has not taken any action.
"According to what I see, the Huns are now attacking our Daqing, and our Daqing has not revealed its attitude so far. I think it is very likely that the female empire has an appointment with the Huns."
"Right now, I am just waiting for Daqing to attack the Xiongnu, so that I can take the opportunity to launch an attack on our country, or I am waiting to see what happens between our country and the Xiongnu. If I lose this battle in Daqing, I will invade our country's eastern border again."
As soon as Li Shouting finished speaking, Yang Wenyuan immediately echoed.
"Your Majesty, I also believe that Mr. Li is not lying."
"Now, in fact, not only the female empire is paying attention to the developments between our country and the Xiongnu, but other princes and countries also have their own thoughts."
"It is true that His Majesty has expressed his intention to have a battle with the Xiongnu. It's okay if he wins, but if he loses, I'm afraid it will make Daqing, another country, doubt his ability. Therefore, a series of troubles will follow. Come."
Speaking of this, Emperor Qing frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy.
"What do you mean, you want me to make peace with the Xiongnu?"
Yang Wenyuan shook his head.
"That's not what I meant, old minister. I'm just a little worried. After all, it's not only the relationship between our dynasty and the Xiongnu, but also the exchanges with other princes and countries."
"If Mr. Li's guess is true, the disaster brought by the female empire will be even worse than that of the Xiongnu."
"Therefore, I just hope that since Your Highness is going to lead troops to attack the Xiongnu, it should be done faster so that the female empire and other countries do not have much time to prepare."
Liu Qi was shocked.
Having said so much, it turns out that the purpose is still aimed at me.
What worries are there? In your heart, you wish that this king would fight with the Huns and lose miserably.
At that time, all the troubles can be pushed to the king. You can take the opportunity to take charge of the government and be a good minister who can relieve the worries of the Qing Kingdom.
If you really want to achieve your goal, your prestige will be even higher. How can anyone in Daqing be able to control you?
"Liu Qi, how are you preparing for the battle with the Huns?"
Liu Qi stepped forward to respond.
"Father, my new army has been training day and night and will be ready in the near future. However, the army that my father asked the eldest prince to deploy has not yet been handed over. After I take over, some pre-war preparations need to be made. ."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shouting laughed a few times.
"Your Highness, the military situation is changing rapidly. How can we wait until everything is complete before taking action?"
"Although I, Daqing, have taken the initiative this time, if the Huns invade again during this period, what will I, Daqing, do? Should I tell them that our Highness is not ready yet?"
At this moment, all the courtiers in the hall were laughing, looking at Liu Qi as if they were watching a joke.
Emperor Qing took a deep breath.
"Liu Xuan, I asked you to fight, why didn't you execute it?"
Liu Xuan responded quickly.
"Father, my son and I have already been prepared. When our father gives the order, we will go to Youzhou by wearing books. After the Moon Worship Festival, we will allocate troops and horses to rush to Pingzhuang."
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Prince Liu Qi.
As if to say it again.
"Look, my troops are ready. What else do you have to say?"
Especially Yang Wenyuan looked at Liu Qi with a smile in his eyes.
Don't you want to send troops? Okay, I'll give you this opportunity, but now I don't even give you time to prepare. It depends on you!
Time was tight, but now because of the female empire, they were forced to send troops.
As long as the emperor agreed, Liu Qi would have no way out.
With a group of new troops who have not yet been trained, and a group of troops that have not been adjusted well, this battle will be lost! And it must be a complete loss.
But just when everyone thought that this was Yang Wenyuan's purpose, Yang Wenyuan continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, this is just a suggestion. It's up to Your Majesty to decide whether it works or not."
"Now the female empire is watching with eager eyes, and things may change at any time. According to my opinion, it is better to find out their details first, and then make a good relationship with them and establish an alliance."
"With no worries at all, how about sending the prince to send troops again?"
Lao Deng’s plan is really vicious!
If he thinks like this, who knows when he will truly form an alliance with the female empire.
By the time we send out troops to attack the Xiongnu, the day lilies will be cold.
Moreover, during this period, the emperor may have been deprived of military power by the emperor under the instigation of these courtiers. By then, the prince would not even have his last support.
Emperor Qing thought for a moment and looked at Liu Qi.
So does everyone.
"Liu Qi, you have heard what the courtiers said. The situation in Qing Kingdom is complicated now. According to my opinion, Master Yang's proposal is not a bad idea."
"First stabilize the female empire, and then send troops to the Huns. You will also have more time to familiarize yourself with military affairs."
As soon as Emperor Qing finished speaking, the courtiers began to whisper.
"Yes, sending troops now will do a lot of harm but no good. It's better to hold back for a while and wait until everything is stable."
"If it is true that the female empire and the Xiongnu have secretly colluded, wouldn't we, Daqing, have to be attacked from both sides? Master Yang must have thought carefully."
For a moment, almost all the civil servants spoke together.
"Your Majesty, I think what Master Yang wants is very appropriate, and I second my opinion!"
"I second the proposal!"
While Emperor Qing was thinking about it, Liu Qi chuckled and strode forward.
A loud shout immediately silenced the atmosphere in the hall.
"Father, I think this is absolutely impossible!"
