The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

"No way!" Another general slammed the table and shouted angrily, "We cannot let the rebels go unpunished!"

"That's right, even if we have to die, we cannot let the traitors run wild!" Another general shouted.

The other generals and commanders echoed one after another, filled with righteous indignation and a fierce desire to kill, as if they wanted to overturn the entire palace.

"Your Excellency, I am willing to lead the elite troops to suppress the rebels!"

"I am also willing to go to battle!"

"I think it is necessary for us to contact the generals from other provinces and work together to resist the rebels."

"Yes, that's exactly what we should do!"

"We must spread this bad news."

"........"

In the court filled with discussions, all the generals were filled with righteous indignation, eager to lead their troops into battle. As soldiers of Great Qin, they naturally could not tolerate the existence of these rebels.

No matter when, traitors were always the most detested existence.

They were even more detestable than invaders.

Seeing the surging emotions, Du Yulin felt a sense of relief in his heart.

After several rounds of purges by His Majesty, although many capable ministers were lost, there were now many loyal generals.

Especially after reshuffling the ministers representing the power of the aristocratic families, the atmosphere in the court became much more harmonious than before.

If it were according to the distribution of ministers in the past, the court would definitely be in chaos now, with everyone only thinking about how to preserve the interests of their own families, regardless of the safety of Great Qin.

From this perspective, it seemed that His Majesty's previous indiscriminate killing of ministers from the aristocratic families was not inappropriate.

At least the atmosphere in the court had indeed improved.

However, there were still drawbacks.

These generals and ministers had just taken office or had been in office for a short time, so they were not familiar with the overall situation and their own duties. They were more impulsive in their actions and unable to consider the overall situation.

Du Yulin's expression became serious, his face stern, his eyes flickering as he fell into deep thought.

This was a tricky problem. Great Qin was currently facing attacks from the entire Awakening Heaven Domain and was completely unable to suppress the rebellion.

If they forcefully dispatched troops to suppress it, they were afraid that the enemies of Awakening Heaven Domain would seize the opportunity. That would be troublesome.

Especially since His Majesty was not in Chang'an City at the moment, relying solely on them, it was uncertain whether they could hold on...

Du Yulin remained silent, a look of worry appearing between his brows.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head, looked at the eager soldiers, sighed, and said, "Gentlemen, this matter is not a child's play. It is of great importance. Let me finish speaking first."

At his words, the previously noisy court suddenly fell silent.

All the generals and soldiers stared at Du Yulin, waiting for his decision.

Du Yulin took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "The reason why the rebels chose this time to rebel is because they are aware of the difficulties that Great Qin is currently facing. They must have planned in advance. It is not certain that we can successfully eliminate the rebels by acting recklessly."

"Moreover, His Majesty has no news at the moment. If we attack now, it will only disperse our forces. When the enemy of Awakening Heaven Domain attacks Chang'an City, it will be difficult for us to even provide reinforcements. Therefore, I suggest that we observe for now. After all, Chang'an City is the top priority."

The brows of the generals furrowed even tighter. They knew that what Du Yulin said was correct, but even if they understood this, they still felt frustrated, resentful, and uncomfortable.

At this moment, everyone once again had the thought that it would be great if His Majesty were here.

But alas, after leaving Chang'an City with a group of delicate women, His Majesty disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he had gone.

Although they all recognized the importance of His Majesty, they had to admit that he was truly an incompetent ruler!

What happened to the imperial expedition that was promised?

Not only did they not receive any uplifting news, but they were also left leaderless here, filled with worries and fears.

Could a ruler of a dynasty really do such a thing?

Even if he was an incompetent ruler, he couldn't do something like this, right?

Du Yulin sighed and fell silent.

In fact, he was also somewhat puzzled and confused. According to reason, the Emperor should not give up Chang'an City. After all, there was still the Immortal Palace that the Emperor had ordered to be built in Chang'an City. But why was there still no news from the Emperor?

Could it be that he encountered a strong enemy?

Or perhaps he encountered an unforeseen event?

Du Yulin shook his head. He felt that these two possibilities were highly unlikely.

The Emperor's strength had always been unfathomable, and he possessed means that Du Yulin couldn't even imagine.

He didn't believe that there was anything that could stop the Emperor, let alone threaten him.

Unless...

Thinking of a certain possibility, Du Yulin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. His face turned pale, sweat dripped from his forehead, and his hands and feet turned cold.

"Guoshi, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, several generals immediately noticed Du Yulin's abnormality.

Others also showed surprise in their eyes as they looked at Du Yulin.

"Guoshi, are you alright?"

A younger officer asked with concern, his tone filled with care.

"I'm fine!" Du Yulin forced a smile and waved his hand. "Just suddenly thought of some trivial matters."

At this moment, Wang Xing, the Minister of the Household Department, suddenly stood up, shaking his fat body. His small eyes, like green beans, narrowed into slits as he solemnly said, "Guoshi, I think your idea, although cautious, is not applicable to the current situation."

Pausing for a moment, he didn't wait for Du Yulin to say anything and continued, "Now is the critical moment when Great Qin is facing danger. If we continue to show weakness, it will only boost the morale of the rebels. That will be troublesome."

Du Yulin furrowed his brows and looked at Wang Xing, saying, "Minister Wang, please speak your mind."

Wang Xing smiled faintly and spoke loudly, "Guoshi, those rebels will think that we, Great Qin, are afraid of them, and they will become even more reckless. It will be troublesome then."

"So what we need to do now is not to defend Chang'an City, but to gather all the forces of Great Qin and launch a proactive attack on the rebels. We need to achieve victory as quickly as possible, pursue them in their defeat, recapture lost territories, and turn this war into a victory for Great Qin. Only then can we boost the morale of our troops and lay a solid foundation for the upcoming battles."

"Otherwise, when the army of Awakening Heaven Domain arrives, we won't have a chance."

Wang Xing spoke confidently and loudly, clearly having a plan in mind.

After he finished speaking, the soldiers and generals in the hall nodded in agreement, thinking that Wang Xing's words made sense.

Du Yulin's expression changed, hesitating and indecisive.

He also knew that what Wang Xing said made sense, but he was worried that by doing so, Chang'an City would fall.

After all, according to intelligence, the strength of the army gathered by Awakening Heaven Domain was extremely strong, far surpassing the current military forces in Chang'an City. If they were to come in full force, Chang'an City would definitely not be able to hold on for long.

"Since the Emperor has left us to guard Chang'an City, we cannot disappoint his expectations."

Seeing Du Yulin hesitate, Wang Xing said in a deep voice, "If we don't go to fight, how can we prove our worth? How can we face the Emperor in the future?"

"Guoshi, there's no time to hesitate."

"If the army of Awakening Heaven Domain arrives in Chang'an City, it will be too late for us to leave the city."

"Guoshi, Minister Wang is right. Great Qin must not allow those traitors to run rampant, otherwise, we will undoubtedly perish!"

"Guoshi, please make a decision quickly."

The generals in the hall echoed one after another.

Seeing this scene, Du Yulin sighed inwardly and finally said in a deep voice, "Alright, since that's the case, let's do as Minister Wang suggested."

"Guoshi, you are wise!"

The generals all clasped their fists and bowed.

Wang Xing's face showed a pleased expression.

"However, who is suitable to suppress the rebels?" Du Yulin's eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation as he muttered to himself.
