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

In an instant, the entire hall suddenly became quiet.

"Pay respects to Your Majesty!"

All the ministers knelt down, calling out in unison and bowing in salute.

Qin Mu took a step into the hall, surveyed the courtiers, and slowly took his seat.

"Rise."

Qin Mu waved his hand and gave a faint order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The courtiers slowly stood up, standing with their heads bowed and hands at their sides.

Qin Mu's gaze swept over the courtiers, finally stopping on the National Teacher, Du Yulin.

The National Teacher wore a gray robe, with a thin figure, a haggard face, and a scruffy beard. How could he look like a dignified Great Qin National Teacher?

He didn't even have the demeanor and majesty of a powerful swordsman.

He couldn't even compare to an ordinary old man!

Seeing the National Teacher's exhausted appearance, Qin Mu felt a twinge of guilt in his heart.

Of course, it was only a twinge.

At this stage, he still greatly needed this loyal and devoted old minister to help him carry out various foolish acts.

He would make it up to him in the future when he became powerful.

Seeing Qin Mu sizing him up, Du Yulin slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty."

His voice was calm and gentle, without any abnormalities.

"Yes."

Qin Mu nodded lightly, his gaze falling on the black coffin behind Du Yulin, and he smiled lightly.

"Why is the National Teacher so grand today, bringing this coffin to court? Could it be that the National Teacher is fond of role-playing? But the ones who carry coffins are usually beautiful girls like Hu Tao, not old men."

Upon hearing this, Du Yulin's mouth twitched.

Although he didn't understand what Hu Tao meant, he could tell that Your Majesty was mocking him.

Do you really not understand why I brought the coffin to court?

If it weren't for the fact that you really didn't want to attend court, would I have brought the coffin here!?

Who would willingly carry a coffin every day!

Du Yulin really wanted to complain. It was really difficult for him for the sake of Great Qin!

"Your Majesty."

Despite his inner complaints, Du Yulin still respectfully spoke.

"Now that Jiangnan County has fallen and Jiang Luoshen's army is at the city gates, if Your Majesty doesn't take action, I'm afraid..."

Du Yulin looked worried and hesitated to continue.

"Just a Jiang Luoshen, what can he amount to? The National Teacher is worrying too much. Jiangnan County is still far from Chang'an City. Based on my judgment, it won't be long before Jiang Luoshen retreats."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu sneered slightly, shook his head, and showed no concern.

"This... Your Majesty..."

Seeing Qin Mu's indifferent attitude, Du Yulin almost choked. He couldn't help but advise in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, you must not underestimate Jiang Luoshen's current strength. Let's not talk about how Jiangnan County surrendered without a fight and submitted to Jiang Luoshen. Just considering the Northern Border Army, their strength is incredibly strong, definitely not inferior to the elite troops of Great Qin!"

Du Yulin took a deep breath.

"Moreover, Jiang Luoshen has gathered thousands of powerful individuals under him!"

"With such a formidable force, we must not underestimate them, Your Majesty!"

"This..."

Upon hearing the National Teacher's words, the courtiers frowned and looked worried.

"The National Teacher is right, Your Majesty must not be careless!"

"Jiangnan County has already fallen, Your Majesty should make a decision and send troops to intercept Jiang Luoshen, otherwise, it may be too late!"

"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."

The courtiers were impassioned, speaking one after another.

Qin Mu lazily sat on the dragon throne, calmly looking at everyone. It wasn't until everyone had finished expressing their opinions that he spoke indifferently.

"What the National Teacher said is just groundless fear."

"Our Great Qin has been established for over ten thousand years, dominating the land and suppressing the nine provinces, invincible in all directions. How could Jiang Luoshen be my opponent?"

Qin Mu supported his chin with one hand, his gaze indifferent, arrogant, and cold.

"This..."

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, the faces of the courtiers turned red, unable to refute a single word.

Seeing that Qin Mu seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the issue, Du Yulin became anxious and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I am not exaggerating. The fall of Jiangnan County is something we must be cautious about!"

"Once this precedent is set, it will affect the entire Great Qin, causing other counties to follow suit. If it becomes a trend, it will be disastrous!" Du Yulin's words were precise, causing the courtiers to feel a sense of dread.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

"I agree!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The courtiers spoke one after another, offering various admonitions.

On the other hand, Qin Mu leaned back on the dragon throne, half-closing his eyes, appearing drowsy as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Your Majesty!" Du Yulin said in a deep voice.

Only then did Qin Mu slowly open his eyes, looking sleepy and confused. "Huh? Have you finished speaking?"

Du Yulin: ".........."

Courtiers: "........."

We said so much, and you can still fall asleep??

So, everything we said was in vain?

In an instant, everyone felt frustrated and cursed inwardly.

What a negligent ruler!

"Your Majesty, we have finished speaking. What are your plans?" Du Yulin asked after a moment of contemplation.

"Plans?" Qin Mu glanced at Du Yulin, then casually swept his gaze over the courtiers before chuckling lightly. "Since the National Teacher said that Jiangnan County has already fallen, then we should send troops to suppress the rebellion, eliminate the bandits, and restore peace to the world, right?"

As he spoke, he casually pointed at a military general. "You, I hereby appoint you as the Grand General for Suppressing Rebellion. Lead fifty thousand soldiers to suppress the rebellion in the northern border and capture the traitor Jiang Luoshen."

The general who was pointed at turned pale instantly, trembling with inexplicable fear.

Grand General for Suppressing Rebellion!?

This was a death sentence for him!

"This..."

The other courtiers were also stunned.

"Your Majesty, this decision seems hasty!" Upon hearing that Qin Mu had dispatched an ordinary general, the courtiers were shocked.

Does Your Majesty have water in his head?

To send just an ordinary general to deal with someone as formidable as Jiang Luoshen?

And only fifty thousand soldiers?

That's not even enough to fill the gap in the northern border!

What is Your Majesty thinking!?

This is a rebellion in the northern border. At the very least, we should dispatch five hundred thousand troops, more than a hundred Primordial Spirit Realm generals, and at least ten Dao Severing Realm experts. We might even need a half-step Saint to resolve this!

Du Yulin was also dumbfounded. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Although he knew that Qin Mu was incompetent, he didn't expect him to be this incompetent.

For a moment, he couldn't even tell if Your Majesty was joking or being serious...

"It seems that none of you have any objections. Then this matter is decided." Qin Mu looked at the reactions of the courtiers, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth as he casually said.

Courtiers: "???"

We were clearly rendered speechless by you. How can you say there are no objections?

Du Yulin's mouth twitched, and he was about to place the black coffin behind him in front of him, ready to sacrifice his own life to continue advising.

However, at this moment, Qin Mu spoke again, interrupting his spellcasting.

"Alright, since you have all finished speaking, I will announce something very important." Qin Mu waved his sleeve and said solemnly.

Du Yulin froze, his eyes slightly widened. He looked at Qin Mu, feeling a glimmer of hope rising within him.

Perhaps Your Majesty was really just joking earlier!

In an instant, the attention of all the courtiers once again focused on Qin Mu.
