As Lai Fu finished reading the memorial, Emperor Qing slowly sat up from the dragon chair.
Looking at the surprised expressions on the faces of the ministers below, I felt a burst of joy in my heart.
"My lords, have you heard this?"
"The prince's actions were not intended to disobey the decree!"
"Not only did we send General Han Zhong to garrison at Beiping Pass in advance, but he himself returned to danger alone with an army of 30,000 people. He also wanted to destroy the cooperation plan between the Kingdom of Seal and the Xiongnu."
"Although deploying troops privately is not in compliance with the laws of the imperial court, in my opinion, if this plan is successful, Liu Qi will not only have no fault, but he will also be a meritorious minister of Daqing. How can he be punished as a crime?"
However, as soon as Emperor Qing finished speaking, Yang Wenyuan stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, I have different views on this matter."
Emperor Qing's eyelids trembled slightly, and it could be seen that his expression was obviously unhappy.
But Yang Wenyuan didn't care at all. He cleared his throat and said what he said.
"Your Majesty, this is what I am thinking."
"Is it possible that the content in this report is false? If it is true, how come there is no news from the Ministry of War?"
"In addition, the Huns have wanted to cooperate with the Kingdom of Yin, not just once or twice. When have they really cooperated? No, at most they have closer contact."
When he heard this, Emperor Qing's breathing began to become a little heavy.
"This should indeed be a matter for the Ministry of War. I also want to ask, what does your Ministry of War do for food? Is it possible that there is no information on such a big matter?"
Everyone in the Ministry of War lowered their heads. Without Li Shouting, no one dared to stand up.
But what's more, today's protagonists are Yang Wenyuan and the emperor. They have no qualifications to speak directly.
"Master Yang, could it be that you are doubting my intelligence?"
Hearing this, Yang Wenyuan quickly put on a frightened look.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare!"
"But please, Your Majesty, listen to me."
Emperor Qing nodded and snorted coldly.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to continue."
In fact, there is nothing we can do if we don’t give it. Yang Wenyuan would still continue to speak, just to show the majesty of the royal family in front of the courtiers.
"Your Majesty, if the information is true, then Your Highness should not do it!"
As soon as he said this, one of the generals laughed a few times.
"Master Yang, don't you think what you said is ridiculous?"
"The prince led the army to break the cooperation plan between the Xiongnu and the Kingdom of India. This is a good thing for our Daqing. How come you said it should not be done?"
"Master Yang, just because you are an important minister, can you not distinguish between black and white?"
After hearing the words of the famous military commander, Yang Wenyuan smiled on the surface without any anger, but he was about to explode in his heart.
Over the years, no one in this court would disobey his advice, let alone talk to him like this.
From this point of view, it was entirely because of Prince Liu Qi that these generals gradually began to become arrogant.
Thinking of this, Yang Wenyuan felt even more that today the position of Prince Liu Qi must be abolished! !
"General Bai, I would like to ask this old minister, is the prince's expedition this time to fight against the Xiongnu, or to fight against the Kingdom of Seal?"
General Bai returned without thinking.
"Of course it's the Huns, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Wenyuan asked again.
"Since we are fighting against the Huns, why do we have to fight against the Kingdom of Seal? Has His Majesty ever had such a will? Has the imperial court ever had such a plan?"
"General Bai, if it were you, would you also receive such information and immediately lead the army to change the original plan?"
General Bai was speechless for a moment.
If you do this, even if you act without authorization, you can be punished as a crime of treason!
Yang Wenyuan laughed.
A rough man also wants to compete with me for verbal advantage? idiot!
Thinking about it, he looked at Emperor Qing above again.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether the information is true or not. What is important is that the prince did not act in private according to the court's plan. If this happens, will all the generals who will lead the army in the future be able to do this? ?”
"So! Where are the laws of my court? Where is His Majesty's holy order? Can't my troops outside Daqing be able to find a reason and mobilize their troops at will? I am destroying the foundation of Daqing!"
When Emperor Qing heard the sound, his body trembled slightly, and the fire in his heart surged into his chest.
Cursing secretly, you old bastard, if you hadn't been forcing the prince to return to the court, why would he be like this?
But Yang Wenyuan's words were not over yet. Emperor Qing also felt even more hatred in his heart after hearing this.
"In addition, both His Majesty and General Bai said that the Crown Prince's behavior is beneficial to Daqing."
"Okay, what if we fail? We didn't successfully help the Kingdom of Yin suppress the rebellion, and we didn't destroy the Kingdom of Yin. What about the cooperation with the Xiongnu?"
"With this behavior, doesn't it mean that I have offended another country of seal that has no hatred towards Daqing?"
"In fact, the Kingdom of Yin had no intention of cooperating with the Huns, but because the prince made such a fuss, it actually promoted cooperation between the two countries. Doesn't this actually help the Huns?"
"The small country of Seal only has a hundred thousand soldiers. Why should I, Daqing, worry about it? As long as I show you a small favor, I will definitely not conspire with the Huns. But the prince is eager to perform meritorious deeds and does wrong things with good intentions."
"In this way, if the Xiongnu and the Kingdom of Yin can truly cooperate, it will only add more pressure to our northern border in Daqing!!"
Emperor Qing took a long breath.
"Master Yang, have you spoken too much?"
"Since the prince dares to do this, he must be confident. If it succeeds, what will happen?"
Emperor Qing rebelled against his army. Since you said it couldn't be done, I must say that he could do it.
In this way, the prince's actions are no longer determined, and what he does is no longer purely wrong.
But Yang Wenyuan seemed to have already thought that Emperor Qing would respond like this.
After a few chuckles.
"Your Majesty, I beg you, please stop protecting the prince!"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were shocked. This was Yang Wenyuan. How could other people have the courage to say such words to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, everyone has heard the content of the report."
"The Huns may also be involved in the civil strife in India. Where is the prince? He only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, but he faced 100,000 or even more enemy troops."
"How can it be possible to succeed in this way? How can it be possible to help the country of Yin suppress the rebellion? It's not obvious. It's just that you are eager to perform meritorious services and want to do something quickly so that His Majesty can see it?"
"However, this approach will not only fail to help Daqing and solve the pressure on the northern border, but it will make a mistake and even cause the loss of 30,000 elite soldiers in Daqing."
"Taking a step back, even if the crown prince becomes the crown prince, who can guarantee that the Kingdom of Seal will not unite with the Huns tomorrow? Is it possible that we still have to send people to keep an eye on it? So, according to what I see, The prince’s trip is completely futile and fruitless.”
After hearing these words, Emperor Qing felt his blood surge and he felt dizzy.
Suddenly seeing Emperor Qing, Laifu ran over after swaying a few times.
"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you!?"
