Chapter 336: The situation changes suddenly

The civil and military officials were arguing endlessly, and the envoys of Qi State always had a look of arrogance on their faces. 』

In terms of national power, Qi is the well-deserved overlord. Although the Li family was once prosperous and created a prosperous era when all nations came to court, 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 saints. 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 Jingguo 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 in a poor family and did not belong to any faction above the court. Now he showed his attitude and stood opposite the Shouhe faction.

The old man with a white 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 unsustainable. If the war continues, I don't know how many soldiers will separate their wives and children. Please help me." Your Majesty, think twice!”

"Bullshit, the spirit of Qi State is fierce. If you give in the first time, there will be a second time. What are you going to do then, continue to retreat?" A veteran general said angrily.

In just a few words, the court hall turned into a vegetable market again.

Emperor Jing couldn't hide the look of disappointment on his face. There were countless talented officials in the imperial court, but when he encountered real troubles, no one could help him.

As Dong Wenyun said, the ancestral precepts of the great ancestor 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 severe, 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, when he saw 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, why don't you answer quickly!" An old man beside him gently tugged on his sleeve, but he was extremely confused in his heart. His 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 Qi envoy 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. That 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, Jingjun, defeated one hundred thousand Qi troops, killed thirty thousand enemies and captured twenty thousand. The rest fled in panic. General Xu Dingyuan took advantage of the victory. In pursuit, we have captured two cities in a row..."

After what Emperor Jing said, 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 Baiguan not understand the strength of the Jing** team? This is not consistent with common sense at all!

Not to mention the civil servants, even the generals didn't believe it.

At this time, no matter whether they were the peace party or the war party, everyone was thinking like this - Could your Majesty be joking?

But even the most mediocre emperor would not laugh or talk about this kind of thing.

The whispers finally turned into loud cheers after witnessing the victory with their own eyes. 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 in the palace and the curfew 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 use fifty thousand soldiers and horses to defeat the millions of soldiers of Qi State? General Xu Dingyuan was a god descending to earth, summoning the help of divine soldiers and 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 being in high spirits. Sword dancing, these days, 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 without ten days and a half.

It can be seen from this that throughout the ages, guys who drive have never had a good end.
