The surrounding air wafted with a faint white smoke, which was emitted by burning expensive spices.

Zhan and Kim Song on the side kept their mouths shut, this kind of occasion was not the time for them to interject and express their opinions.

Above the seats.

Here sit two big men who are enough to stir the wheels of history.

The final outcome of their conversation will directly determine the direction of future history!

These people who are here will all become witnesses of history.

Beside him, a flat but clear sigh came.

"Once you are ready to take this step, how many soldiers will be ready to die!"

"Qianlong is very strong, and he also has a strong force, not to mention that Shangjing is his lair, and it is debatable to do it to him on top of his lair."

"However, you are the emperor of the north, I have known all your glory in the past, maybe, with your strength, maybe you can really kill the hidden dragon."

At this moment, Cheng Daiyuan's sigh was not because he was not optimistic about the future prospects, nor because of Emperor Han's self-confidence and his hasty behavior in his eyes.

Rather, he sighed at the thought of the war that was about to arise, how many soldiers would die in the war, how many families and wives would be separated, and all these sad things.

Maybe it's because he's old, or maybe it's because he's been through too many wars and seen too many lives and deaths.

Cheng Daiyuan can no longer be as iron-blooded and indifferent as he was when he was young, and can maintain the most calm and ruthless nature for the sake of his goals.

Now he is no longer as suitable for the position of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses as the young man in front of him.

Cheng Daiyuan did not choose to step down for a long time because he did not find a successor who really reassured him to take over the position.

Conduct, courage, erudition, talent, strength, and other factors are all indispensable.

Once he looked for the emperor of the northern realm, Ye Shangxuan and others, these people were all brave and meritorious people.

Later, because the Emperor of the North disappeared without a trace, Ye Shangxuan left the land and went to the ocean to avoid risks, and this matter was repeatedly shelved.

Emperor Han looked at Cheng Daiyuan and took a slight breath.

He understood what Cheng Daiyuan was thinking, and this matter was also what he had been thinking about.

"Marshal Cheng, I can assure you that I will personally go out in this battle to minimize all unnecessary losses and minimize the number of casualties, and my purpose is only Qianlong alone."

Cheng Daiyuan nodded.

He knew that no matter what he said, he would not be able to change Emperor Han's mind.

Now, he knew that Emperor Han was waiting for his attitude, waiting for him to say a word.

Cheng Daiyuan didn't expect that the love branch turned out to be a brick throwing and seducing him out, and finally forced to fall into the whirlpool for this dilemma.

If you ask him, does he want to kill the dragon?

Then Cheng Daiyuan obviously wanted the hidden dragon to disappear in his heart, because Cheng Daiyuan deeply understood that the existence of the hidden dragon was the biggest moth in the court.

His position is not high, but he is enough to connect the upper and lower levels, and it is the decision of the superior to reach out and take charge of the Tongzai!

The most terrifying thing is that Qianlong dared to openly refute the joint proposal from the six major ministers and the policy personally admitted by the superior in front of the court.

The hidden dragon is just a sentence, and these people are so scared that they don't dare to mention a word.

What is the difference between this kind of blatant disturbance of the court and the great eunuch who leaned towards the government and the opposition and the cholera world thousands of years ago?

Killing the hidden dragon is the fundamental strategy of scraping bones and healing wounds.

However, killing the Hidden Dragon also brings great damage and negative effects.

It's a dilemma.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The precious spices in the house burned out, and the fragrance in the air gradually faded.

Everyone was silent, staring at Cheng Daiyuan's face.

Emperor Han was not in a hurry, so he tasted the tea prepared by the people in the manor in front of him.

Since the subordinates are not allowed to enter here for the time being, the dome thunder also acted as the task of serving tea and pouring water, and seeing that the tea was empty for several people, he stepped forward to continue.

None of the delicacies on the table moved, and all of them became cold and stiff.

Finally, Cheng Daiyuan made a difficult decision.

"What do you need me to do?"

Emperor Han finally waited for the answer he wanted.

This bet, the bet between him and Cheng Daiyuan, he can be regarded as winning.

Although this bet is not an actual gamble, it is a thousand-layered game between the two sides on top of psychology and speculation.

Jin Song and Zhan glanced at each other, and both of them saw the joyful look in each other's eyes.

finally succeeded in convincing Cheng Daiyuan!

can get the help of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, then in this battle, the victory on their side has a few more chips!

"I need Cheng Shuai to make a move at the end of the war."

"At that time, there were all kinds of rumors and gossip about deserters. It is very likely that the dragon was going to fight to the death before he died, pulling me into the water and ruining my reputation. ”

"There are also soldiers who surrendered to the enemy, they are essentially warriors of the Great Hua Kingdom, and they also need to stabilize people's hearts and surrender these warriors."

"In the end, we need to try the crime of the hidden dragon, and announce the death penalty of the hidden dragon in the world!"

"These complicated things all depend on Cheng Shuai."

Emperor Han knew that he had no way to do these jobs that required public relations and making statements.

Cheng Daiyuan represents the official and military, and his speech is regular news, and with his support and voice, he can stand on public opinion, which will not be bitten by Qianlong at the last moment, and Emperor Han will also be discredited.

Suddenly, Cheng Daiyuan laughed.

"It seems that you really came prepared, and it wasn't a hot-headed decision."

Then, Cheng Daiyuan got up slowly, he walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window next to him, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he could see a huge lake in front of him.

On the shore of the lake, there is also a low wooden house, and sometimes Cheng Daiyuan will sit in front of the wooden house, carrying a fishing rod to fish, and sit like this for an afternoon.

But he never caught a fish.

Qionglei once privately asked people to release more fish fry in the lake, and he thought that Cheng Daiyuan would not be able to catch them.

But until one day, Qionglei saw Cheng Daiyuan's fishing rod, and there was no hook on it.

"Mr. Han, do you know what I'm thinking?"

"What?"

"I thought, what was I doing when I was twenty-five or sixteen? At your age, I seem to have just graduated from college, looking for a few jobs with a weak salary, and then living a 5-to-9 life, resting every day when I get tired, going out to work when I wake up, repeating the work year after day, and I don't know what tomorrow is. ”

“......”

"Later, I was unwilling to let this life pass like this, I chose to join the army, this entry into the barracks, is half a life, I now recall the beginning, but also feel like a dream, sighing. You say, why did those people who were also excellent back then die outside the plug, and I was the only one left to live until now? ”

"The living should live seriously together with the hope of the dead."

Emperor Han responded seriously, he also carried the last wish of countless souls who died in battle outside the northern border, and one day restore peace in the world, so that their sacrifices can be fulfilled!

"You're right."

Cheng Daiyuan suddenly turned around and stared at Emperor Han seriously, his slightly cloudy eyes became bright.

"Emperor Han, you said that after killing the hidden dragon, is it a matter that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, or does the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?"

Emperor Han paused, then responded.

"Whether it's good or bad, it doesn't matter now."

"It's not my style to look ahead, I don't hesitate to make a decision, even if it's wrong, it's going to be wrong!"

Suddenly, Cheng Daiyuan laughed, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Good!"

"I admire such an emperor of the Northern Realm, since you have bet on the future at a young age, then how can I, an old bone that has already been half cut into the ground, look forward and hesitate?"

"If you don't kill the hidden dragon, then kill it!"

"I don't believe it, kill him, and no one will be able to hold it up on this day!"
