The ministers were silent, and Gu is body was shocked, and they looked at each other. This was the first time that Emperor Qin had publicly mentioned the defeat of the Emperor, and no one knew the emperor's will at this time, nor did anyone know what to say in response to the emperor.

Above the temple, when the emperor spoke, it was absolutely impossible for the hundred officials to remain silent for a long time, which would be a provocation to the emperor's majesty, so the silence was broken soon after.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say!" The one who came out of the queue was a young man, who was the former Qin Yunzhong Taishou Tuoba Jue. Tuoba is only sixteen years old now, but this person is a freak, looking young, but scheming like a half-hundred old man.

Tuoba said: "Now the unfortunate defeat of the imperial court is a foregone conclusion, and if the news of the defeat is transmitted back to China, it will cause riots. And most of the imperial army did not survive in the water, if the world was in turmoil, the remnants of the imperial court would be guarded in all directions, and it would be difficult to continue. ”

"Weichen suggested that His Majesty could lead the six armies of the Son of Heaven back to Luan Chang'an and defend Gyeonggi to settle the world. At the same time, the ministers were given the right to recruit soldiers on their own, and if there was a rebellion in the place, the ministers could suppress it on their own. In this way, there is no need to consume the troops of the imperial court, and the peace of the Great Qin can be guaranteed. ”

Tuoba Jue's suggestion made the eyes of many traitorous ministers shine, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not because the imperial court was unable to quell the chaos and delegate power to local officials, which eventually caused the disaster of the princes? Tuoba Jue's suggestion is simply to harbor evil intentions and lead the former Qin to the old road of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But on the contrary, no one can blame him on the surface, after all, now that the imperial court is really defeated, the remaining army is indeed not enough to defend the world. Tuoba Jue proposed to let the imperial court gather troops in Chang'an and defend Gyeonggi, which is not wrong!

Can you still accuse him of taking the stability of Gyeonggi and the safety of the emperor more than the whole world? Even Emperor Qin would only think that this was Tuoba's foolish loyalty to him, and would not think of anything else.

As a result, countless traitorous ministers came out to second, especially Murong Chui and Yao Chang seconded the loudest. Looking at their faces full of generosity and righteousness, I don't know how dedicated and loyal they are to the country.

If there is a concurrence, there will naturally be opposition, and the first one to oppose is Deng Qiang, the assassin of the state. Deng Qiang's appearance was a little old, his temples were as white as frost, he pointed at Tuoba Jue and reprimanded angrily: "Tuoba Jue, you traitor, how dare you bewitch Your Majesty!" Now that the king is only a small defeat, there are still hundreds of thousands of people left in Xiangcheng, but you persuade Your Majesty to return to Luan Chang'an, what is your intention? ”

Deng Qiang said to Emperor Qin again: "Your Majesty Mingjian, you can't return to Luan at this time, and if you return to Luan at this time, the morale of the people of the Great Qin Dynasty will collapse!" The old minister is willing to take command in person, lead the remnants of Xiangcheng, fight the Nanban again, and bind the puppet emperor Sima Yao in front of His Majesty. As long as the imperial court can turn defeat into victory, the country will be small for one or two nights, and it will naturally not be chaotic. ”

Zhang Hao, the general who was also dying, laughed, patted Deng Qiang on the shoulder, and said loudly: "The surname is Deng, Lao Tzu has quarreled with you all his life, this time I still have to praise it, you old boy has a kind!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is also willing to go to war, make Deng Qiang a deputy general, don't capture the puppet emperor, and swear not to return to the court!" Zhang Oyster also asked Emperor Qin for war, and as he spoke, his eyes looked at Tuoba Jue sarcastically, and said disdainfully: "Now I don't know where there are so many small people in the court, if it was thirty years ago, Lao Tzu would definitely kill these little traitors one by one!"

Deng Qiang scolded with a smile: "You old thing, can you still hold a knife!"

Tuoba buried his head, looked at his nose and nose, and did not dare to refute half a word of the condemnation of the two veterans. The other traitors also buried their heads one after another, for fear of being noticed by the two majestic old generals.

Because that was Deng Qiang, the first of the top ten famous generals of the former Qin; Because it was Zhang Oyster, he ranked second among the top ten generals of the former Qin. Deng and Zhang, thirty years ago, were called the two pillars of Great Qin by the world! Only the two of them could speak so casually in front of Emperor Qin.

Even if they are old, even if they have not been in charge of the army for a long time, Yu Wei is still there, how can a treacherous fortunate minister like Tuoba Jue dare to say anything about it? Not to mention being scolded, even if the two old handsomes raised their fists and beat them on the spot, they could only bear it.

Emperor Qin finally spoke, and his majestic tone was like a Sanskrit sound: "Deng Shuai, Zhang Shuai have a heart."

Just said that there was a heart, and naturally it was a euphemism that it would not be allowed. Although the two old commanders said that they were superb in martial arts and proficient in the art of war, after all, they were old, and Emperor Qin couldn't bear to see them full of gray hair and still fighting for the country.

Deng Qiang and Zhang Oyster retreated into the column, but the topic had been opened at this time.

Emperor Qin clearly only stated the defeat of Weishui, but Tuoba Jue took the initiative to offer a strategy, and then Deng and Zhang invited Ying to fight. Unconsciously, the topic became a question, and Emperor Qin remained silent, silently listening to the arguments of the hundreds of officials below.

Some officials seconded the proposal to return to Luang'an, while others believed that they should make a comeback and counterattack the Nanban. Of course, there are all kinds of other weird suggestions, such as moving the capital, surrendering, divisiveness, and so on. Before you know it, the controversy lasted for nearly an hour.

A group of traitorous ministers said a word, desperately seconding Tuoba's strategy; The loyal ministers put forward their own suggestions for dealing with the aftermath, but these suggestions were different. As a result, for a while, the traitorous ministers' advocacy of "returning to Luan Chang'an and delegating power to the locality" became the mainstream suggestion.

If it is normal according to the laws of history, at this time the Qin Emperor should choose to return to Luan Chang'an, so more than ten years of chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty began to be staged.

However, in this life, there is obviously something different.

"Aftermath? I went on this southern expedition and won a complete victory, what else do I need to do well? Qin Huang's faint voice came out, and the hall of fierce quarrels suddenly became extremely quiet. All the officials were thinking in their hearts, Your Majesty is crazy? The imperial court was clearly defeated, and when did it become a complete victory?

"In this southern expedition, I issued an edict to ascend to the Huiji and the princes. Although Wang Shi was defeated in Huishui, he succeeded in winning Huiji, and my strategy was realized, isn't this a big victory? ”

As soon as Emperor Qin explained, the hundred officials were even more confused, and it was right that Huiji was the strategic goal of the imperial court. The target of the Qin Emperor's edict on the southern expedition was indeed to ascend to the Huiji and the princes. No matter what the cost is, if you can successfully win the meeting, it can indeed be regarded as a big victory.

But... Didn't the imperial court fight a battle in Weishui, and after defeat, it withdrew to Xiangcheng. Huiji is in the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians, and the imperial court has not even been able to take down the water on the border of the Southern Barbarians, when did Huiji be defeated? Your Majesty is afraid that he is not angry!

Emperor Qin probably had already anticipated the reaction of the hundred officials, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said, "Xiao Zhangzi, submit the good news and read it to the Zhongqing family."

Good news! What's the good news? Where's the good news? Tuoba Jue, Murong Chui, Yao Chang and several other traitors with keen intuition suddenly had a bad premonition.

No one noticed that at this time, Emperor Qin was vaguely glancing at Tuoba, and his gaze hidden under the crown selectively swept over the few officials standing behind, as if he had a deep meaning.

Under the confused gaze of the hundred officials, Gonggong Zhang, who was standing in front of the emperor, carefully took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and slowly began to read it.

"Good news: Chen Zitong is too shou Pei Yuanluozi, Yulin Lang Pei Shengqin, congratulations to our emperor Sheng'an ......"
