Seeing Liu Qi's move, Emperor Qing coughed slightly excitedly.
Is this kid crazy? Didn't he understand what the ministers just said?
If we still insist on sending troops now, we must do it faster.
What was said before was to send troops by the end of the year, but now the situation is complicated and there is a female empire that is ready to move. If you want to send troops, you must be faster.
Moreover, unlike before, this battle can only be won, not lost.
If it loses, the Qing Kingdom will not only face fierce revenge from the Xiongnu, but it is also likely to give other countries the opportunity to invade.
At that time, even if there are 10,000 reasons, there will be no way to keep him.
"Well, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind. For the long-term sake of Daqing, it is better to temporarily stop sending troops to the Huns. When the Qing border is stabilized in the future, I will talk about sending troops to the Huns."
As soon as Emperor Qing said this, everyone's excitement was palpable.
Is this it?
He has been thinking hard about how to return Liu Qi's military power to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so simple today.
Mr. Yang is so clever!
Everyone could see that in the previous court meetings, the emperor deliberately favored the prince.
But now, even if you want to take sides, you can't take sides. If you don't agree with the ministers' suggestions, it will be like pushing Liu Qi into the abyss.
When Liu Qi heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect that his father would make a decision without even giving him a chance to speak this time.
no!
If we really agree to Yang Wenyuan's proposal, labor and management will be doomed!
"Father, are you going to be a foolish king?"
The courtiers were in an uproar. Liu Qi was too courageous.
He dares to say such things, it's awesome. Does he think that his position as the prince is too secure?
"Asshole!"
"Bold Liu Qi, what did you just say about me?"
Even though Emperor Qing liked Liu Qi in his heart, he couldn't help but get angry when he heard these words.
Facing the angry Emperor Qing, Liu Qi not only did not show any cowardice, but instead took another step forward.
This step is to be taken bravely.
There was no other way. In order to allow his father to give him a chance to continue speaking, and also to keep his position as the crown prince, he had no choice but to make this move.
With a chuckle, Liu Qi finally spoke.
"Father, this time the Huns invaded our Daqing territory and broke through our Daqing border. A total of more than 30,000 people died."
"Thirty thousand people! How many broken families are there."
"They are all watching, watching how my father should respond to the Huns' invasion at this time, so as to comfort their families who died tragically."
Speaking of this, Liu Qi looked around.
"Everyone knows that I, Daqing, am one of the strongest princes. This is a fact that is not unrecognized."
"Now, the little Xiongnu Fanjing is slaughtering my people in Daqing. But I, Daqing, are worried about the invasion of other countries, but have forgotten the revenge of the invasion."
"Regardless of how we will send troops in the future, as long as we make peace with the Xiongnu now, what will the world think of it, and what should the people of Daqing think?"
"In their hearts, they don't think that it is to stabilize the female empire. They will only see the cowardice of the imperial court and think that Daqing has a false reputation. Even the little Huns are afraid of it."
"And this thought will all be put on the father. The people will think that it is the father's decision. It is because the father is afraid of the Huns and does not think about the people of Daqing."
Speaking of this, Liu Qi sneered.
"At that time, won't the people think that my father is a foolish king?"
Emperor Qing was shocked.
This guy's words are not good, but what he says makes sense.
Although it can stabilize other countries, it is guaranteed to be foolproof. But this move will lose the hearts of the people of Daqing.
It's easy to lose one's heart, but it's hard to gain one's heart.
If this incident spreads public dissatisfaction until internal trouble occurs, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
Seeing Emperor Qing's hesitation, Yang Wenyuan quickly stood up.
"What Your Highness said is wrong."
"How can the country's policies be understood by ordinary people? Moreover, our policy is just a delaying tactic, in order to stabilize other countries with different intentions, so that we can wait until they are stabilized before launching war against the Xiongnu. Then it will be up to me. If Daqing sends troops to the Huns, the people will definitely understand."
Liu Qi laughed a few times.
What no one expected was that he suddenly ran down the steps and slapped Yang Wenyuan hard on the face.
Yang Wenyuan covered his cheek, confused, completely confused!
The sudden scene shocked everyone.
Oh my God! What is the prince doing?
"Asshole! Are you crazy?"
"Your Majesty, you have seen it. His Majesty is so helpless that he dares to beat the court ministers at the court meeting. Please make the decision for me!"
Liu Qi, however, did not panic at all and moved to the steps.
"Father, please don't be angry. I beat Mr. Yang. I am guilty!"
"However, I suggest that today's court meeting will discuss major matters, and my beating Mr. Yang is a trivial matter. It is better to wait until the next court meeting before convicting my son."
Emperor Qing patted the table as a habit.
"Absurd! If you beat the imperial official now, is there any reason to question him afterwards?"
"Your Highness, I can't wait until then. Your Highness has insulted me too much. If Your Majesty doesn't punish me severely, I can't bear the humiliation and would rather resign as Prime Minister."
Liu Qi laughed a few times and suddenly turned his head with a cold expression.
"Then just resign!"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and no one could figure out what happened to the prince. Today, she was even more unscrupulous than before.
"Master Yang, I just slapped you. It's true, I also admitted my guilt. You are not willing to wait for a court meeting."
"And so many soldiers and countless people have died in Daqing, why do you make them wait?"
"Why do you say that the people won't care? Even you know that if someone beats you, you have to come back and ask for punishment. Do the people understand this?"
Liu Qi's eloquent voice resounded in everyone's mind.
From this moment on, different voices began to appear on the generals' side.
"The prince said it well, why should you bear it! Master Yang couldn't bear it after he received a slap. How do they feel about the people whose family members have died?"
"Your Majesty, I will support the crown prince's decision. The Xiongnu's crimes must be severely punished! Otherwise, the people will feel that I, Daqing, are afraid of the little Xiongnu."
Han Zhong also stood up and spoke at this time.
"Your Majesty, I also think that Daqing should send troops."
"Otherwise, if the Huns dare to invade Daqing today, and if other countries invade tomorrow, what will I do?"
"Old minister, I naturally understand that what the adults said is for temporary stability to ensure that the troops are sent out in the future. But there is no such thing as a foolproof thing in the world. Today we have made peace with the female empire. What if we break the promise on the day when we send out troops to the Huns? ."
"So, no matter what other countries think, our Qing Kingdom sent troops to the Xiongnu because of its reputation. If anyone tries to stop it, it will be a violation of morality. Let him taste the iron fist of Da Qing!"
For a time, almost all the generals were on Liu Qi's side.
The atmosphere was almost heated up.
Liu Qi immediately raised his hands and bowed to Emperor Qing.
"Father, aren't you just worried about the female empire? Don't worry! I have a better way!"
