Liu Qi finished speaking.
Everyone's eyes were uniformly focused on Yang Wenyuan.
Yang Wenyuan's face was full of astonishment, and he seemed to say no more.
"Watch what I do?"
But what Liu Qi said next made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Father, I have recruited a new guest. This person's name is Lu Liang. Not only is he full of talent, but he is also capable of eloquence."
"My son, I can guarantee that if he is sent out to the Maid Empire, he will be able to succeed immediately."
When Lu Liang was mentioned, everyone looked left and right, shaking their heads one after another.
Jasmine stroked her beard and smiled.
"Your Highness, almost all the talented and experienced ministers in Qingdu have heard of it. Why has this Lu Liang never heard of it?"
"A person with no reputation deserves to be considered a talented person? Wouldn't it be a joke to send such a person to the female empire to negotiate a deal?"
Liu Qi seemed to have realized something and stepped towards Jia Siming.
"Oh no, I am confused."
"Everyone knows that Mr. Jia is from a famous family in the world and is quite famous in the literary world. Since Mr. Jia said this, do you think you want your father to send you there?"
"Master Jia is worried about the country. It's great to be so responsible! It's great!"
Jia Siming's intestines were about to turn green, and she suddenly put on a bitter face.
"Your Majesty, although I have some literary talents, I am not good at speaking. Moreover, I am old and have low energy. I may not be able to take on such a big responsibility!"
Liu Qi's expression suddenly changed.
"Since you know you are incompetent, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Jia Siming blushed at the rebuke, but she didn't dare to say anything in rebuttal.
When Emperor Qing saw this, he couldn't help but smiled quickly and unnoticeably.
"Liu Qi, I don't care who you want to use. Since you say he is talented, you might want to give it a try."
"If he can complete his mission, I will definitely grant him entry into the court as an official. If he fails to complete his mission, there is no need to come back."
"Well, having said that, I have a question in my mind. You just said that you gave the land of the Hetao to the female empire. How could it be that you have opened up the path between them and South Korea?"
Everyone was talking a lot, waiting for the prince's answer.
Liu Qi nodded.
"My son naturally knows that the purpose of the Ludi Territory is to seal off the female empire, border with other countries, and reduce the threat to Daqing."
"But what I want to say is, does the current female empire pose little threat to me? Has the territory of Lucheng really brought substantial benefits to me, Daqing?"
Li Shouting immediately stood up.
"Haha, your highness is wrong. Over the years, the female empire has not developed and grown. Isn't it because of the blockade of Daqing Lucheng? This is not profit, what else can it be?"
Liu Qi shook his head, his disdainful eyes falling on him.
"Master Li, why don't you say you are short-sighted?"
"In my opinion, giving the land of the Loop to the female empire is the best way to maximize interests in the true sense."
The crowd was noisy for a while, and then Liu Qicai finally spoke.
"Ministers, please listen to my king's words."
"Now, in the territory of Lucheng, we are guarding not only the female empire, but also South Korea south of the Hetao."
"But once the Loop is opened, it will be different. All the female empire's attention will not be on our territory of Lucheng, but part of the energy will be transferred to South Korea."
"The same is true for South Korea. From now on, we must be wary of both our country and the empress."
"The two countries dare not have any thoughts about Daqing, and they both think that one day they can annex each other. No matter how they fight, in the end we, Daqing, will reap the benefits."
"And I, Daqing, don't have to do anything. In order to prevent our country from participating in the disputes between them, I will definitely take the initiative to have good relations with our country."
"In this way, I, Daqing, don't have to spend huge sums of money every year, as well as manpower and material resources, to strictly defend Lucheng. Instead, we can allocate more energy to do other things."
"After my words have been spoken, don't the ministers still understand?"
For a moment, the court was silent.
Even Yang Wenyuan was stunned.
I couldn't help but wonder, could this prince have someone guiding him behind his back? Could it be that Lu Liang?
Such a good idea, no one in the whole court came up with it.
Judging from the emperor's current expression, it should be impossible to take back Liu Qi's military power.
In this case, we can only continue with other plans.
"Your Highness is indeed brilliant, I deeply admire you!"
"If this plan is successful, it will definitely give me a great celebration and solve many troubles. If it goes as His Highness said, it will definitely be extremely beneficial."
"Old minister has nothing to say and agrees with His Highness's proposal."
"But, then again, since we want to mobilize troops, we must do it without further delay. I wonder when, Your Highness, do you plan to mobilize troops?"
After hearing Yang Wenyuan's words, Emperor Qing thought about it.
Liu Qi's determination to send troops has been determined, and it can no longer be changed.
No matter how many months he says, just try your best to buy more time for him.
However, Liu Qi's answer was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
"I have decided that after the Moon Worship Festival, I will lead my troops to go on an expedition at the end of the month!"
Everyone in the hall sighed.
The Moon Worship Festival is coming in a few days, and the end of the month is only a few days away.
After careful planning, Liu Qixian only had less than ten days to prepare.
Yang Wenyuan was shocked again.
I originally thought that the prince might say that it would take two months, or three months or something, but I never expected it. This was the answer I was waiting for.
He couldn't help but wonder, was he getting old? The prince's thinking is still too active.
Why can't I keep up with his thoughts every time?
In fact, Yang Wenyuan guessed correctly.
Liu Qi was secretly happy at this time. If it hadn't been for the night of chatting with Lu Liang, he wouldn't have planned this.
Although Lu Liang only said that the Hetao Land had the same function as the Lucheng Land, it gave him the best reminder.
At this time, Emperor Qing trembled violently after hearing this.
Labor and management still have to speak for you, but you are better off. Isn’t this forcing yourself to die?
But Liu Qi didn't think so.
He felt that since the ministers in the court had always wanted to complain to the emperor and deprive him of his military power, it would be better to take his troops and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
In this way, you don't have to play chess with these ministers in the court all day long. At the same time, you can go out earlier and prepare early.
Who said you will be beaten if you go out? Labor and capital have stationed troops in Pingzhuang, what can you do to me?
"Liu Qi, do you know what you are going to say?"
Facing the solemn Emperor Qing, Liu Qi knew that his father was worried about him and felt that he was a little reckless.
"Father, of course I know."
"However, I also feel that Mr. Li is right. Since we are sending troops, we should do it sooner rather than later to prevent changes."
"My son has also thought about it. After we deal with the Huns as soon as possible, we can also visit the female empire on our way back.
"Firstly, I would like to congratulate the female empire for winning the Garukin River Tao. Secondly, by going as the crown prince, I can also express our sincerity in our alliance."
Having said that, Liu Qi was actually thinking about it.
I have heard for a long time that in the Female Empire, almost all of them are women, and they are all beautiful women.
Especially the female Emperor Wu, who is even more beautiful than ever.
As a man, wouldn’t it be a pity not to visit such a wonderful place?
"Liu Qi, fighting is no child's play. If we send out troops in such a hasty manner, if we lose, you must know that you have issued a military order."
But Emperor Qing's words did not frighten Liu Qi.
"Father, since I am sending troops at such a time, I must be confident. Otherwise, I would not dare to be rash about major national affairs."
"However, before this battle, I have a request."
