The first thousand four hundred and twenty-one chapters
Chapter 1,421 The imperial commander’s personal expedition
There was a muffled sound, and blood suddenly appeared. Aqina's brains were knocked out, and he slowly collapsed beside the pillar, completely lifeless.
Seeing this, Vesudeva I was stunned, but looking at the ministers in the Golden Palace, it seemed that they had foreseen such a situation and were not surprised at all.
With his mind like lightning, Vesudeva I immediately understood that this must be the method that Daur and his companions were thinking of, to die wisely and make themselves give up the idea of the Northern Expedition.
"Come here, clean up Aqina's body for me. Since he wants to die to prove his ambition, let his family accompany him and order the palace guards to hunt down and kill all Aqina's family."
Now that you have taken action, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you want to stop me from going north, it's not enough for one Aqina to die.
"According to the decree."
Upon hearing the imperial order from Vesuthiva I, the palace guards outside directly received the order, and then directly took his body away with their armored armor. At the same time, a column of cavalry rushed out of the imperial city and went to Aqina's mansion to send him away.
The family goes on the road together.
To be honest, Vesudev I's move was really accurate and ruthless. Don't you want to use death as a lesson to make me stop my troops and give up the idea of going north?
Well, I want to see if you are willing to let yourself go, and whether you are willing to let your wife, children, and children die together.
All the officials looked at Vesuthiva I who was filled with evil eyes and swallowed their saliva. Even Darau and Wanbul did the same. They didn't expect the other party to be so fierce, and they had no idea what to do next.
Now it is a game between the monarch and his ministers. It will be seen whether their side has stronger consciousness or Vesudeva I's will is stronger.
Darau glanced at Wanbul and nodded to the latter, now it's your time for your people to take action.
Wan Buer was helpless. Now that it was like this, they could only move forward recklessly.
Wanbule gave Kabu Kano a look, indicating that the other party could take action.
Kabukano swallowed, and then knelt directly in front of Vesudeva I.
"Your Majesty, Aqina's loyalty to the country should not lead to such an end. I hope that your Majesty will take back his orders and at the same time give up his intention to conquer personally and go north to Gaofu."
Kabukano knocked his head on the floor of the Golden Palace, and the sound of the collision kept echoing in the Golden Palace, which seemed particularly clear.
"Why, Kano or Kano, do you also want to be like Aqina and commit suicide to make your ambition known?"
Looking at Kabulkano, Vesutiva I couldn't help but smile. The Aqina just now was from Darau, and this time it was from Wanbul. It seems that these two enemies also wanted to prevent themselves from going to the north.
A coalition was achieved.
"If His Majesty does not take back his life, Kabukano is willing to die just like Aqina."
After Kabukano finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and bumped his head into the spot where Aqina was killed just now. The bright red blood burst out instantly.
"Haha, it seems that I have a lot of loyal ministers in Kushan. Where are the royal guards? Clean up Kabu Kano's body for me, and then send the cavalry to kill all his family, old and young. Who else is there? I want to
Look at how many people in Kushan are willing to die for their country."
Looking at the second corpse that appeared in front of him, Vesudeva I was not shocked. Instead, he licked his lips, with a bloodthirsty light radiating from his eyes.
Everyone shuddered when they saw the reaction of Vesudeva I. They had never seen such an emperor before. He was bloodthirsty, cold and intimidating.
"hiss."
Darau couldn't help but gasped. To be honest, he thought that at most two or three people would die, and the other party would definitely commit the crime. But what he didn't expect was that the current Vesuthiva I seemed to be just...
I just started and have no intention of stopping.
"His Majesty."
Since all the officials are now afraid of the fierce power of Vesuthiva I, if he had not come forward, the two people in front of him would have died in vain, and from now on, the other party does not care about the lives of these lower officials at all.
This trick doesn't seem to be of any use.
"Prime Minister, what's going on?
Do you also want to be loyal to Guishang and take death as a lesson?"
Seeing Darau appear, Vesudeva I also suppressed the smile on her face and looked at him solemnly.
"Your Majesty, Aqina and Kabukanuo are doing it for the good of Kushan. You are a man of ten thousand gold. The risks and variables on the battlefield are too great. Not to mention what problems may arise among the rebels. After you leave Loubaisha, here is
Who will be left in charge?
What about the army's supplies and food?
Also, what if some treacherous officials and traitors suddenly cause chaos while you are away?
So I still hope that Your Majesty can think about it and leave the matter of sending troops to the various generals. I hope you will think twice before doing so."
When Darau heard what Vesudev I said, his heart couldn't help but twitch, for fear that the other party would have a seizure and give himself a death blow, and then he would explode.
"This is my conclusion after careful consideration. After I leave, you will be in charge of Lou Baisha, and my eldest prince will supervise the country. If something goes wrong with me on the front line, he will be the new emperor of the Kushan Empire. I understand.
?"
To be honest, Vesudeva I was also very scared. He was afraid that Darau, the prime minister of the empire, would also threaten him with death. Then he would really be in a dilemma.
In order to advance, the emperor's dignity was maintained and the imperial commander's personal expedition was promoted, but it would hurt Darau's life, which would be equivalent to cutting off an arm, which would be very detrimental to Kushan.
Retreating would save Darau's life, but his dignity as the emperor would be greatly challenged, and the decision to go north would certainly not be implemented.
If he retreats now and wants to advance later, the price he has to pay will not be the death of one or two insignificant officials.
Fortunately, the other party should have realized the current situation and did not say anything embarrassing to him. And since he wanted to go north to fight, he naturally had his own countermeasures. Otherwise, he would not have become the current leader of the Kushan Empire.
emperor.
"Your Majesty, do you really have to go?"
At this time, Wanbulye knelt on his knees in front of Vesudeva I to express his thoughts.
"I have made up my mind. Guishan needs heroes, a complete victory, and a fearless emperor to lead them out of this predicament. Therefore, I cannot retreat. Only by going north to fight against China can Guishan be defeated.
Frost has a glimmer of hope."
Now Weisu Physique thinks very clearly. It can be said that Kushan is losing consecutive battles and has not won a single battle at all. Whether it is Lit Province, which is famous for its population, or Khwarazmo, which is famous for its cavalry, or
Or the province of Bactria where his own brother is, and General Hariwan in the south.
Facing China, they are losing more and winning less, and they are retreating steadily. The entire empire is filled with an irresistible mood from top to bottom.
Although no one said these things, he clearly felt it. If he didn't feel like this, they would never stop him with his life if he went north. In fact, in the final analysis, he still didn't believe him, and they didn't believe that Guishang could resist it.
Living in the footsteps of the Chinese people,
If they can't find a way to change this situation of national decline, they will not be able to resist the Chinese army in the next battle, so this is the real reason for his personal expedition.
Vesudeva I hoped to use himself to boost the morale of the people across the country and tell them that I, the emperor, am not afraid of the Chinese and would fight with them at the risk of my life. What reason do you have to be depressed?
"If His Majesty the Emperor insists, then we ministers have nothing to say. We can only wish His Majesty a prosperous military fortune and be able to defeat the Chinese Empire."
Since Vesudev I persisted, and he had already thought of countermeasures and made reservations for future generations, he might really be sent away if he said anything.
"And you?"
Seeing that Darau was no longer struggling, Vesudeva I set his sights on Wanbul, one of the two giants.
"I don't have any objections, but I hope that your Majesty can bypass Aqina and Kabukano. They are loyal to Kushan and your Majesty. If they lose their lives because of their stubborn remonstrance and have their homes confiscated and their clans exterminated, this will inevitably lead to disgrace."
The Kushan ministers are heartbroken and hope they will think twice."
Now that Darau has compromised, Wanbul has nothing to insist on, but some explanations still have to be given. After all, the two of them died for them. If the other party is really allowed to be exterminated by Vesuthiva I, then they will be in trouble in the future.
It is impossible to force anyone to do anything.
"Well, I understand. I will do as you say and immediately order the Guards to terminate their original action and spare the lives of their families."
Vesuthiva I nodded. Now that the two sides have compromised, if he insists on taking the lives of the two families, it is not that he dare not, but it is completely unnecessary. What he needs at this time is the Kushans who are united as one, not the appearance.
Peaceful, a minister whose heart goes against his will.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Bamboer once again paid homage to Vesudeva I. What he can do now is his best. As for what will happen in the future, it can only depend on God's will.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, just retreat from the court. Within five days, we must gather troops and horses, and prepare enough food and grass. I will personally march north to Gaofu and fight to the death with the Chinese."
What should be said has been said and what should be done. Now Vesudeva I no longer has any worries. What he has to do now is to do his best to win this battle and give the Kushan Empire the last glimmer of hope.
"I wish your Majesty a prosperous military fortune and a great victory over the Chinese Empire."
"I wish your Majesty a prosperous military fortune and a great victory over the Chinese Empire."
"I wish your Majesty a prosperous military fortune and a great victory over the Chinese Empire."
Now that the trip to the north is a certainty, all the ministers can do is wish the Emperor good military fortune, a great victory over the Chinese Empire, and saving the Kushan Empire from the brink of collapse.
After taking a look at everyone, Vesudeva I turned around and left the Golden Palace, disappearing from everyone's eyes.
"Civil and military withdrawal from the dynasty."
After Vesudeva I left, naturally some ministers announced that all officials would withdraw from the court.
Daur and Wanbeer gathered together again. The two looked at each other without speaking, but boarded a carriage together.
You must know that the two of them have never dealt with each other in the court, and now they are able to ride in the same car, which can be regarded as a strange miracle.
"Wan Bu'er, what do you think?"
Darau glanced at Wanbul in front of him and asked him what he thought of today's court meeting.
"Master Prime Minister, what do you think?"
As an old rival who has been fighting with Darawuhai for such a long time, Wanbule said to be honest, if anyone knows the other party best, they are definitely useless. Darawuhai did not speak, so he understood what the other party wanted to say.
"Let's not hide each other. If you have anything to say, please speak freely. I feel that even if His Majesty really marches in person, it is impossible to win in front of China's millions of troops. There is a high probability that he will do it this time.
."
At this point, Darau stopped talking and did not continue to speak. Just as the other party understood him, he also understood the other party.
"There is a high probability that Your Majesty will be defeated this time. If His Majesty is defeated, Lou Baisha will be in danger. I wonder if my guess is correct?"
As expected, Wanbul also continued what Darau said. It was really difficult to defeat the Chinese Empire now, and they had to prepare for the worst.
"Well, so what we have to do now is to prepare with two hands. On the one hand, His Majesty can withstand the army of the Chinese Empire. This is naturally the best thing. If there is a problem with His Majesty the Emperor, or even if something goes wrong, the Kushan Empire will
It's too difficult to continue,
The place Lou Baisha is too dazzling, we may have to take the crown prince to leave here, go to Minnagala, or even go into exile in Alacosia, we must not give China the chance to exterminate the Kushans."
Darau continued Wanbul's words and told him that what they have to do now is to prepare with both hands. If Vesudeva I is really defeated and died in Gaofu, then they have no other way but to flee with the crown prince.
Already.
"Well, let's prepare like this, but only the two of us can know about this matter, and we have to do it secretly. If others find out, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary panic."
