The sixth day of the first month of the year 3921 in the Taoist calendar.

When Jiang Wang and Chongxuansheng turned around at Sang Mansion and chose to rescue Chongxuanzun, the Jingmu War had come to an end.

Nantianshi Ying Jiang Hong led the army to restore the territory of Shengguo, and drove away the defeated army. The bones of the warriors of Muguo were spread out, and the war horses of Muguo were branded with landscape seals.

Go deep into the grassland for three hundred miles and set up a monument to record your achievements!

When the death of Beigong Nantu in battle shocked the world, Yan Ping speculated on the course of the Jingmu War, saying that the war would end in as little as two days or three days, or as much as five days or seven days...

But Jingguo really completed the end of this magnificent war in two days, which is still shocking!

The death of Beigong Nantu became a turning point in this war. The status of this high priest with a divine crown was almost that of a god in the hearts of many herders. With his fall, the originally stalemate on the battlefield

, the balance was broken in an instant, and the morale of the Mu army dropped to the bottom, and they collapsed.

From October 19, 3920 in the Dao calendar, when Jingmu and Mu were at full-scale war, to January 6, 3921 in the Dao calendar, Ying Jianghong erected a monument on the grassland.

After a total of two months and seventeen days, this vigorous war for the hegemony came to an end.

Of course, the previous year-long battle between Mu and Sheng should not be completely ignored. Li Yuanshe, who suffered heavy losses in the Jingmu War, may also be remembered by people.

But in the final analysis, what this battle established was the unwavering power and majesty of the Jing Kingdom. It was another declaration from the ancient empire to the entire world that a powerful Jing Kingdom still dominates the world today, and is the so-called supreme and noble central empire.

Ying Jianghong completed the finishing work so smoothly, Jingting did not hesitate, and sent a letter of credence to Linzi on the same day, saying it one by one.

"The Emperor of the Eastern Kingdom personally declares:

Jingxia is a country of alliance! I and the Emperor of Xia are brothers! Although my younger brother is foolish and stubborn, he tries to attract foreign troubles, but he is an elder brother and has to save him. The Eastern Kingdom has the virtue of the rising sun, so why don’t the Emperor of the East clear up the gap?

, is it better to stop fighting and rebuild our sect?

Jing is responsible for the stability of this world, and I always cherish the thought of peace.

The human race in the world is one family, and we should not accumulate old grudges and add new grudges.

How can there be an end to lingering hatred and hatred? This is not something a wise man would do.

A single thought of hatred leads to war, making thousands of families mourn and tens of thousands of families crying! This is not what a benevolent person would do.

My words are sincere and my heart is sincere. I only hope that the Emperor of the Eastern Kingdom can know.

The Kingdom of the East stopped its troops, and the Kingdom of the Middle Territory did not regret the past.

If the Qi army does not retreat, even though I cannot bear it, I will have to go to the country of my brothers to repel the foreign invaders with swords and soldiers!"

This warning is not just a warning, or it does not just stop at the level of warning. Before Ying Jianghong's troops withdrew and returned, Zhenjun Yuque personally led the Dou'e Army, the number one in the Eight Armors, as the vanguard army.

Send troops southward!

People speculated on Jingguo's predicament, Jingguo's difficult choices, Jingguo's refusal to surrender, and Jingguo's unwillingness to start a second war for hegemony after the end of the Jingmu War. They were all shattered by this tough attitude.

.

The hegemony of the Central Empire was suddenly revealed!

The Qi State has been victorious for many years and has been suppressing all directions. At its peak, the army was brave and the people were arrogant, but for a while the people were in panic.

This time, it was Jingguo who stood in front of him with a sword in his hand. After all, he was the first empire that had dominated the Central Region since the restart of the Dao calendar!

Today, with the power of destroying the Mu Kingdom, it is overwhelming the Eastern Qi. Everyone who hears it is afraid that the memorials will rain down on the desk of the Emperor of Qi.

At a glance, most of them are asking the emperor to take care of the overall situation and order the troops to withdraw from the front line.

Among them, he once wrote a magnificent essay "On Merits and Demerits", which almost nailed Jiang Wang's reputation and made him a great scholar who was once trampled upon by thousands of people. He wrote a eloquent letter to the emperor, with magnificent diction, and the core of it was only one sentence - one can keep the green hills.

Now, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. The emperor should prioritize preserving the strength of the Qi army.

Cao Jie is not Jiang Wang, and of course he, Er Fengming, would not dare to curse him without substantial evidence.

He even dared not mention the names of evil men like Chongxuan Chu Liang.

But words like "How can we retreat if we have a secret plan to achieve great success on the front line!" were not seldom said.

There are many supporters in both the government and the public.

Many people regard his voice as the voice of gold and jade, and regard him as the conscience of the literati of Qi.

It is said that he is not afraid of power, does not bend his will to please the emperor, and dares to speak to Cao Cao with his writing. He is an example of serving the country with a public heart.

People seem to have forgotten that he once had excrement thrown at his house by the angry Qi people because he slandered Jiang Wang, the arrogant genius, and agreed with Jing Guo's proposal to use demons.

After all, public sentiment is fickle.

The extra court meeting held on January 6th was not only the most important thing for the whole country of Qi, but also the one that attracted the attention of the whole world.

Everyone in the world wants to see what the attitude of Qi is and what the attitude of Emperor Qi will be.

Will a second war between overlords break out in a short period of time?

This court meeting was held under the auspices of the Prime Minister Jiang Rumo. Wen Yanyu, Yi Xingchen, etc., Wu Youxiuyuan, Shuofang Bo Bao Yi, etc.

Those in Beijing who had considerable say in the matter all participated in the meeting, which was a gathering of people.

It is worth mentioning that Prince Jiang Wuhua is wearing the crown prince's crown dress today and is also in the Ziji Palace.

The third daughter of the emperor, Jiang Wuyou, and the ninth son of the emperor, Jiang Wuxie, also wore the imperial robes of the palace master.

As before, the emperor still sits on the throne.

What is different from the past is that this time the court meeting has just begun, and the two parties with different opinions are arguing very fiercely, completely skipping the previous gentle and polite but sinister foreplay stage, and every word used is very fierce.

Under the strong pressure brought by Jing Guo, no one can really wear the mask of gentleness.

This court meeting was not only related to their political opinions, but also related to the future of Qi State.

The conflict with Jingguo must not be taken lightly. If you start a war with the most powerful country in the world, you must consider the consequences of defeat!

The crowd in Ziji Palace was so loud that it almost overturned the dome.

One side stated that it would take advantage of the victory to pursue and eliminate future troubles forever, and could never be intimidated by Jing Guo.

One side said that it should be settled as soon as possible. This war has already hurt Xia State, and they can plunder a large amount of resources and return them together. They have already taken advantage of it. There is no need to start a war with Jing State again and force themselves into a risky situation.

Of course, the quarrels were all between the military affairs hall and the officials below the political affairs hall, all of whom were less than third rank.

Those who stand at the top of Qi's officialdom are always silent, and they will not express their opinions easily until the final decision is made.

They argued like this for a long time, and no one could convince anyone.

Because everyone has their own right, and even some right or wrong, even time cannot give the result. History has bifurcated a long time ago, and who can be sure whether a different choice at that time would be better or worse?

Bad? What if?

Some people have conflicts.

In the midst of the heated discussion, Emperor Qi raised his index finger and just tapped the armrest of the imperial chair.

Tuk Tuk.

So the whole palace was quiet.

What is reflected in the tranquility is the supreme majesty of Emperor Qi.

Then he said: "Read the letter Ji Fengzhou wrote to me."

Han Ling bowed his head and accepted the order, unfolded Jingguo's credentials, and under the authority of Dan, faced the courtiers and read aloud: "The Emperor of the East has personally issued this message: Jingxia is the country of the alliance..."

The words "I have no choice but to go to the country of brothers and fight off the foreign invaders with swords!" were left behind.

Qi Tianzi had already slapped his palm on the armrest of the dragon chair.

Bang!

"Are you disapproving of the Lord's humiliation and death of his ministers?"

At that time, all the ministers in the palace fell down and no one dared to say anything!

"Do you know what's happening on the front lines?"

Emperor Qi asked while sitting on the dragon throne.

His voice has calmed down.

But his gaze fell from the gap in the crown of the sky, like a mountain or a sea.

It was as real pressure as the power of life and death.

"You have seen the good news coming frequently, saying that I am the most powerful Qi Tian, ​​and that I have taken advantage of everything. Do you know how these results came about?

You can see that behind the victory report, it is all the blood of our Daqi soldiers!"

"What are they for?"

"The grievances accumulated by the Xia Kingdom for thirty-three years are still there, and they are disrespectful to the Eastern Kingdom. We, the Qi Dynasty, have a million strong troops going to the southern region. What do we ask for?"

"Is it to plunder some resources, shed some blood, and kill a few Xia people?"

"The audience is full of ministers talking loudly and impassionedly, but who is fighting on the front line?!"

"The people on the front lines who are fighting hard never said a single word 'retreat', yet you actually want to make the decision for them?"

"They paved a road to Guiyi City with their flesh and blood, pulled out all the thorns, and cut off all the swords, so that in the future our people could travel between the two capitals calmly. From then on, the Eastern Region reached

There are no dangers in the southern region. From Linzi to Guiyi, the road is smooth!"

“You seek fame, merit, career, and the overall situation—what is the overall situation?”

"Thousands of miles to the south, there are corpses along the way! The soldiers on the front line fight for merit with their lives, and the flag is stained with blood. If I can't even guarantee a safe rear, what kind of emperor will I be!?"

Qi Tianzi stood up directly.

His figure above the Dan Majesty is as high as the sky.
