The civil and military officials were arguing endlessly, and the Qi envoys always had a look of arrogance on their faces.
In terms of national power, Qi is the well-deserved overlord. Although the Li royal family once prospered and created a prosperous era when all nations came to dynasty, that was already a matter of the previous dynasty.
As an envoy of Qi State, he can straighten his spine no matter which country he is in.
"I have something to say." At this moment, another person stood up.
The voices of the people arguing were slightly weaker, because the person who stood up was Dong Wenyun, the new Jingzhao Yin, who was deeply favored by the Holy Spirit. His words played a decisive role in the current situation.
"What's Dong Aiqing's opinion?" Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows and asked.
Dong Wenyun said solemnly: "Every inch of our country's territory must be fought for. The ancestral precepts left by the great ancestors cannot be changed."
Dong Wenyun only said one sentence and stepped aside, but he directly stated his position.
In the court hall, many people frowned.
Dong Wenyun was born into a poor family and did not belong to any faction above the imperial court. Now he showed his attitude and stood opposite the Shouhe faction.
The old man with a white hair and beard said seriously: "Qi State has a strong military. If the stalemate continues, it will be detrimental to our country. Now the national treasury is weak and it is unsustainable. If the war continues, I don't know how many soldiers will separate their wives and children. How many soldiers will be separated from their families?"
Your Majesty, please think again!"
"Bullshit, Qi State has a tiger-like heart. If you give in once, there will be a second time. What are you going to do then, continue to retreat?" A veteran general said angrily.
In a few words, the court has the tendency to develop into a vegetable market.
Emperor Jing couldn't hide the look of disappointment on his face. There were countless civil and military officials in the country with extraordinary talents, but when he encountered real troubles, no one could help him.
As Dong Wenyun said, the ancestral precepts of Emperor Gaozu cannot be invalidated. How majestic the Li family was in the former Tang Dynasty. With an order, no one in the world would be dissatisfied. When will this scene be realized in his hands?
After coughing twice, his chest began to feel a little tight again. Seeing the situation below, Emperor Jing inevitably felt sad in his heart. His asthma became more and more serious, and he really didn't have much time left for him.
A ghostly figure suddenly appeared outside the palace gate, and in a few flashes, he appeared next to Emperor Jing.
Chang De whispered something in Emperor Jing's ear. Emperor Jing suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and said loudly: "Seriously?"
Changde nodded and said: "The messenger traveled for several days to deliver the good news. After entering the palace, he passed out and had people from the Imperial Medical Office come over."
He took something out of his arms and gave it to Emperor Jing, saying, "This is a good news. The paint is intact. Your Majesty, please take a look."
When the good news was delivered to Emperor Jing, he couldn't help but open it and cast his eyes upward.
"Okay!" After quickly reading the contents of the letter, and seeing the seal of the general at the end, Emperor Jing slammed the table, laughed and said a few good words.
All the civil and military officials raised their heads, wondering what happy event had happened to make His Majesty so happy at such a critical moment.
"Although you are an envoy of the State of Qi, you must abide by the laws of the State of Jing in our territory. This matter will be left to Dali Temple to handle things according to the laws!" Emperor Jing stood up and looked at the man who had just spoken.
The young censor asked: "What is your name?"
The young censor had just been scolded by his superior officer, and he had not recovered yet. Hearing His Majesty's question, he was dumbfounded for a moment.
"Your Majesty asked, please answer quickly!" An old man beside him gently tugged on his sleeve, but he was extremely confused in his heart. Your Majesty asked Dali Temple to handle this case, which means that the Qi envoy will be severely punished.
But the strange thing is that I selectively ignored this matter just now, why now...
"Weak minister Song Lang." The young censor said hurriedly.
"Very good. As a royal censor, I am in charge of supervision, and I must obey the law impartially..."
When all the officials in the court saw that His Majesty had avoided talking about the most important matters discussed recently, and instead praised a small censor, they couldn't help but be puzzled. What kind of behavior did Your Majesty have?
The envoy from Qi State was even more pale. He didn't know why things took a turn for the worse. What did the old man show Emperor Jing just now? Could it be...
"Impossible, absolutely impossible..." When he was thinking this, the guards in the palace had already received the signal and took him down.
"Your Majesty, the envoy has a special status. You must not..." Envoys represent the face of a country. Your Majesty dealt with the envoy of the State of Qi because of a trivial matter, which was a loss of face to the State of Qi. The expression of an old minister changed.
When he was about to speak, Emperor Jing waved his hand impatiently and said: "A great victory in Bianzhou. I, the sergeant of Jingguo, defeated a hundred thousand Qi troops, killed 30,000 enemies and captured 20,000. The rest fled in panic. General Xu Dingyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue him.
, have captured two cities in a row..."
After Emperor Jing's words came out, the expressions of all the ministers in the court changed and they were dumbfounded.
The first thought that came to their mind was disbelief.
When did the invincible Qi army become so vulnerable? Jing Guo not only won, but also won a great victory. They captured two cities in a row. Are the troops of Qi Guo defending the city just for food? How did they do it?
How could all the officials not understand the strength of Jingguo's army? This is totally unreasonable!
Not to mention the civil servants, not even the generals believed it.
At this time, no matter whether they were the peace or war faction, everyone was thinking like this - is your Majesty joking?
But even the most mediocre emperor would not laugh at such matters.
The whispering voices finally turned into loud cheers after seeing the good news with their own eyes, and the sound was so loud that it almost overturned the roof of the Golden Palace.
After the officials, whose hearts were in turmoil, came to their senses after returning home, news spread one after another, centered in Kyoto.
That night, the emperor held a banquet for his officials in the palace, and the curfew in the capital was lifted for three days. No matter where he went, there was a sea of cheers.
All the people of Jingguo can straighten their spines when walking on the road. They have never been so proud as today, loudly bragging about the great achievements of Jingguo's soldiers.
Why did he defeat Qi's million-strong army with 50,000 soldiers and horses? The general Xu Dingyuan descended from heaven to earth, summoned the help of divine soldiers and heavenly generals, and beat the Qi army to pieces...
This is a grand event that has never happened in the decades since the founding of Jingguo. The wine shop is open all night long. Whether they are literati or wealthy people, they can be seen in a small wine shop, reciting poems and composing poems, and having fun.
Sword dancing, these days, the Qi people living in Kyoto dare not even take a step outside their homes.
Li Yi learned from Her Royal Highness the Princess that the envoy of the State of Qi was currently recuperating in Honglu Temple and could not get out of bed until ten days and a half.
It can be seen that throughout the ages, speeding people have never had a good end.
