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

"Your Majesty, the order to kill the envoys of the Ash Moon Dynasty has caused panic throughout Great Qin. If you don't take any measures soon, Great Qin may fall into chaos!"

"I suggest that we send envoys to the Ash Moon Dynasty to explain this misunderstanding and promote cooperation between the two countries. We should try to form an alliance, which may resolve the crisis facing Great Qin!"

The court official shook his head and sighed, deeply distressed.

Other ministers also nodded, believing that this was indeed the best course of action at present.

As long as an alliance could be formed with the Ash Moon Dynasty, even if the Northern Territory rebelled, it would not cause too much trouble.

Although it would come at a great cost, as long as the country was not destroyed, it would be worth it in their eyes.

Although Great Qin still had many reserves, did the Ash Moon Dynasty and Heavenly Essence Dynasty not have any?

Qin Mu glanced indifferently at the court official and said expressionlessly, "Just two envoys, killing them is nothing. When has Great Qin ever needed to explain itself to others?"

After these words were spoken, the entire court fell silent.

Many ministers twitched at the corners of their mouths, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

Your Majesty!

Do you still think of Great Qin as the Great Qin of its peak?

Now, if Great Qin doesn't have those reserves, it may not even be able to defeat the Northern Territory, let alone the Ash Moon Dynasty and Heavenly Essence Dynasty...

It can be said that the future looks bleak, with no chance of victory!

The most crucial point is that, after your recent foolish actions, the people's trust in Great Qin has already dissipated.

Several vassal states in the surrounding area are no longer providing resources on time and are preparing to break free from Great Qin's control.

Sure enough, Wang Xing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who had a fat body and a rough appearance, stood up and brought up this matter.

"Your Majesty, the vassal states of Qingmu, Nanfan, and Canglang have not provided the required resources as stipulated. I suspect that they are planning to rebel and break free from Great Qin's control."

Qin Mu exclaimed in surprise, and finally showed some change on his expressionless face, "Is that so?"

The ministers were speechless once again.

This matter has long been spread among the people. I'm afraid only you, Your Majesty, are still unaware of it, right?

Although the Heavenly River Domain is dominated by the three major dynasties of Great Qin, Ash Moon, and Heavenly Essence, there are still some small countries surviving in remote and barren areas. In order to avoid being annihilated, these small countries voluntarily became vassal states of the three major dynasties and provided a large amount of resources in exchange for protection.

With such easy access to abundant resources, the three major dynasties naturally had no reason to refuse.

Qingmu, Nanfan, and Canglang are vassal states of Great Qin.

Originally, Great Qin had nine vassal states and was once flourishing. However, those vassal states gradually disappeared over time, and now only these three remain.

But now, even these last three vassal states are about to break free from Great Qin's control.

The ministers felt a sense of sadness.

If Great Qin were still as strong as before, how could these vassal states dare to do such a thing?

Wang Xing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, nodded and a trace of indignation flashed in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I have confirmed this matter. It is indeed as I said earlier. Qingmu, Nanfan, and Canglang were supposed to provide resources three days ago, but even after three days, I still haven't seen any resources from them. This is no different from rebellion!"

Qin Mu leaned back on the dragon throne, recalling the information about these three small countries in his mind.

Unfortunately, the information was limited.

He had indeed not paid much attention to these three small countries. In his understanding, what threat could three vassal states pose?

The combined strength of these three countries was not even comparable to a single Northern Territory, which posed a threat to Jiang Luoshen.

In his limited information, the highest cultivation level in these three countries was only at the Empty Void Realm, and there were no experts at the Slashing Dao Realm.

"If these mere vassal states dare to rebel, they can be easily destroyed. There is no need to worry," Qin Mu said indifferently.

The ministers were once again helpless.

It's still the same old saying. In the past, it was indeed easy for Great Qin to destroy these three vassal states.

But what era is it now?

The Northern Territory is rebelling, and the Ash Moon Dynasty and Heavenly Essence Dynasty are also eyeing Great Qin, ready to launch a large-scale attack at any time.

Where is there any spare military force to destroy those three countries?

Wang Xing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty is right. These mere vassal states, Great Qin can naturally destroy them at will."

"But now, Great Qin is engaged in battles everywhere and cannot act rashly. Presumably, those three vassal states have taken advantage of this opportunity to dare to rebel."

Although he was also very angry, he had to admit that at this moment, Great Qin was indeed too busy to attend to other matters.

Wang Xing's gaze swept over Sun Scale King Qin Shijing, and he sighed inwardly. Perhaps he should make a decision on which side to support.

During this period of time, Sun Scale King had been intentionally or unintentionally showing goodwill towards him. He pretended not to notice and gave ambiguous responses, occasionally speaking up for him, trying not to offend either side.

But now, it seemed that the Emperor had no intention of saving him. He should have made a decision earlier to avoid missing the opportunity.

Sun Scale King Qin Shijing also noticed Wang Xing's gaze and instantly understood the meaning in his eyes. A hint of joy flashed through his heart, and he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, afraid of laughing out loud.

The Minister of Revenue was a very important position, in charge of the allocation of money and grain throughout the country. If he could gain the support of the other party, his chances of seizing the throne would be even greater.

He had been trying to win over the other party, but the other party was a sly old fox who had never taken a stance. Now it seemed that the other party should have decided to support him!

For a moment, Qin Shijing's confidence reached its peak.

According to this trend, the day he became the Emperor of Qin was not far away!

When some people are happy in the court, others are sad.

The loyal and devoted National Teacher, Du Yulin, had a worried expression on his face. He sighed inwardly and then took a step forward, kneeling firmly on the ground.

With a resolute tone, he said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead the troops to conquer the Qingmu Kingdom, Nanfan Kingdom, and the Canglang Kingdom, and restore the glory of Great Qin!"

After Du Yulin finished speaking, the court fell into a deathly silence. The gazes of all the officials towards him were filled with complex emotions.

Even Qin Mu was slightly startled. He glanced at Du Yulin and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"National Teacher, you must not act rashly!"

Qin Shijing hurriedly spoke up, trying to dissuade him. "These three small countries are joining forces to challenge us, and there must be conspiracies and tricks behind them. There may even be the shadow of a major power. You must not fall into their trap!"

Du Yulin shook his head.

"Your Majesty, precisely because there are conspiracies and tricks behind this, I must lead the troops. Otherwise, if we wait for them to make the first move, the situation will be perilous."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Qin Mu, with a respectful expression.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my utmost to restore the glory of Great Qin!"

Qin Shijing snorted coldly, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He glanced at Du Yulin and asked indifferently, "National Teacher, if you want to go to war, where will the soldiers come from?"

Du Yulin was immediately taken aback.

Yes, without soldiers, how could they go to war...

Seeing Du Yulin's stunned expression, Qin Shijing turned to Qin Mu and said, "Imperial Brother, I think this matter is of great importance and should be handled with caution. Although the betrayal of those three countries is detestable, considering the current situation of Great Qin, we should focus on appeasement and avoid further military campaigns."

As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately gained the agreement of the other officials.

Everyone nodded in agreement, supporting Qin Shijing's words.

"Sun Scale King is right. Although the Qingmu Kingdom, Nanfan Kingdom, and Canglang Kingdom are small, they are connected to each other. To control them, we must make them submit willingly, rather than using force."

"Your Majesty, please think twice. If we lose more than we gain and deplete the strength of Great Qin, wouldn't that give others an opportunity?"

"Your Majesty, I believe you should send envoys to question those three countries. If they are willing to submit to Great Qin, then everyone will be happy."

"..."

The officials discussed one after another, all believing that they should not go to war for the time being.

After all, it was a critical moment, and the strength of Great Qin needed to be preserved.

Moreover, those three countries had not truly rebelled yet, they just stopped providing resources. There was no need to resort to such drastic measures.

Qin Mu looked at the officials below, then glanced at Du Yulin. He suddenly smiled and slowly spoke up.

"Since you all believe that caution is the priority, then I will send a special envoy to go and investigate."

The officials breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Finally, Your Majesty has made a wise decision!

This is a good sign!

At this moment,

Luo Xue, dressed in white, appeared out of thin air and gracefully knelt beside Qin Mu.

She was dressed in white, with an exquisite and beautiful appearance. She looked like a fairy from an ice mountain, captivating and stunning.

"Luo Xue, go and kill all the royal families of the Qingmu Kingdom, Canglang Kingdom, and Nanfan Kingdom, leaving none alive."

Qin Mu casually gave the order, his tone as light as if he were giving an insignificant command.

Luo Xue nodded and disappeared from the hall in a flash.

Upon hearing this, the courtiers were all shocked!

Qin Mu smiled at the courtiers, "How about that? Is this cautious enough?"
