The three hundred and seventieth chapters guard for themselves
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a long time. He drank half of the drink in his hand before he came back to his senses.
Glancing at the empress's eager eyes looking for answers, Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips twice, trying to say something but finally swallowed it.
The more Liu Mingzhi seemed hesitant to speak, the more the Queen longed for answers.
She discovered that, at some point, this man whom she thought she understood so well became increasingly incomprehensible to her.
It's not that there is any estrangement between the two of them, but that Liu Mingzhi has more things on his mind and his mind has become calmer, and he is no longer as easy to understand as before.
The Queen wanted to know why Liu Mingzhi became like this, and she also wanted to know what he was thinking.
You say that he is loyal, but he is actually married to you, and he never regards you as an enemy in private. Otherwise, he could have captured you when he was alone in the south, and used this to blackmail all the civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom.
.
You can also ask for credit and reward in front of Emperor Dalong.
You said that he was rebellious and wanted to support his troops and stand on his own, but he repeatedly asked for war and resisted the attacks of Dajin and the Turks from the south. He seemed to be willing to fight for his country even if he died on the battlefield.
Loyal and unfaithful, adulterous and unfaithful.
The Queen is now full of confusion. What is Liu Mingzhi thinking and planning now?
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Queen's cold and soft eyes, raised his hand to fill the Queen's finished wine glass, walked toward the chair, and sat down comfortably.
"The answer! There is no fixed answer. The process of things is changing, and the answer itself is changing."
"I don't think I can give you any answer now, let alone that I have anything to say!"
The Queen calmly sat down opposite Young Master Liu, played with the wine glass, and stared directly into Liu Mingzhi's deep eyes: "Are you still afraid of death now?"
"Afraid!"
Liu Mingzhi, who is afraid of the word, spoke categorically without hesitation, speaking directly from his heart as before.
"Since you are afraid of death, why did you not hesitate to mobilize troops that are not your own in order to help Dalong defend the country? Now you are not afraid of death?"
"You must know that calling in troops that are not under your jurisdiction without permission is something that no emperor can tolerate."
"As an emperor of Wanyan, if the emperor's uncle mobilizes the troops under Yeluha's command without Wanyan's permission, and does so easily, then he will not be far from death."
"Whether he is Wanyuan's uncle or not, whether he is loyal to Wanyan or not and has never harbored any treasonous intentions, he must die."
"Because he has touched the bottom line of an emperor. No emperor will allow a minister who can threaten his throne to still live in the world!"
"Even if he is loyal, he will still die."
"Because he already has the ability to rebel, this is his sin!"
"Personal emotions aside, in terms of authority, Wanyan will never allow a person who is beyond Wanyan's control to still live in the world!"
"Wanyan thinks, not only Wanyan, but also Li Zheng, Li Baiyu, Li Ye, Huyan Yunyao and others!"
Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of braised meat and tasted it: "No wonder you and Yun'er have such a happy conversation. Yun'er also told me what you said!"
"Since you know, why are you still mobilizing troops without authorization? Are you not afraid of death now?"
"No matter how many achievements you have, this one thing is enough to kill your entire family!"
"In order to guard the gate of Dalong Kingdom, you are willing to take the lives of the whole family as a child's play."
"Liu Mingzhi, you are really a good dog of the Li family."
"A good dog who is loyal and willing to die!"
"If you were a minister of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan would be able to wake up from his dreams with a smile. Unfortunately, you are not. You are the dog of the Li family, a dog that grins at Wanyan!"
"Do you really think that Li Baiyu's decree to award you the title of King of Dalong is because of your brotherhood? Is it because of your previous righteousness as king and minister?"
"To tell you politely, you are wrong, very wrong. In the eyes of the emperor, there is never such a thing as affection!"
"Do you really think the solitary call is for nothing?"
"I will make you the King of Side by Side and command you to take charge of one hundred and fifty-two states in Northern Xinjiang. This is not because of your achievements, Liu Mingzhi, but because Li Baiyu wants to kill you!"
"If you are asked to guard the northern gate for generations, he will sacrifice his small family and take care of the overall situation."
"Exchange the twenty-seven prefectures in northern Xinjiang for peace in the rear of Dalong!"
"You're still stupid enough to work for the Li family. Why are you so mean?"
"Wanyuan doesn't believe that you can sit in this position and not be able to see through Li Baiyu's plans!"
Liu Mingzhi listened silently to the Queen's curses at him, without getting angry. He put down the chopsticks in his hand with a smile and raised his wine glass.
"Excuse me! Have a drink!"
The Queen stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi, who had a calm expression and showed no anger, and clinked the wine glasses dullly.
"You have said so politely, so you are not angry or angry?"
Liu Mingzhi refilled the Queen's glass of wine, walked over with the wine glass in hand, held the Queen in his arms and sat on his lap.
The Queen wanted to struggle, but in the end she wrapped her arms around Mr. Liu's neck out of habit and let him hold her.
"To put it bluntly, given the current situation, how will this national war end?"
The Queen was silent for a moment: "When this situation is reached, it will definitely end with one victory and two defeats. It depends on which country is stronger and can dominate the world!"
"Yes, so, have you ever thought about it, if you join forces and go south, the dragon will naturally defend you!"
"In other words, if Liu Mingzhi doesn't fight this battle, others will!"
"For example, Marshal Nangong Ye, Marshal Yunyang, Zhang Kuang and other generals, they can't just watch you invade the hinterland of my great dragon and destroy my great dragon Jiangshan Sheji."
"No matter what, with or without me, Liu Mingzhi, this smoke of gunfire will never dissipate and remain invisible."
"Then, have you ever thought about it, if I don't fight, the military power will be handed over to others. What will happen to a person who owns half of the dragon but has no soldiers?"
The Queen was startled, and subconsciously looked up at Liu Mingzhi, who had a deep gaze.
"Must...certainly die!"
"Well! You will definitely die!"
"Then think about it again, if Dalong is lucky enough to win this national war, what will happen to you, Yue'er, and my junior brother Huyan Yunyao!"
"In my eyes, we are a love-hate couple. Yue'er is my daughter, and Huyan Yunyao is my former fellow disciple."
"In the eyes of Zhang Kuang and others, you are the empress of the Jin Kingdom, the only princess of the Jin Kingdom who can inherit the throne, and the Great Khan of the Turkic Royal Court. You don't understand what these identities mean, right?"
"War exploits!"
"You should know what happened if the First Emperor did not destroy the nobles of the six countries. Do you think these smart veterans will give Yue'er a chance to restore him?"
In order to stabilize the country in the future, in order to completely destroy your popular support and prevent the resurgence of the old forces, not only will you die, but also the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom and the Turkic kings will have to report to the Lord of Hell."
"I will fight this battle. If I, Liu Mingzhi, can live, you can all live!"
"If I don't fight this battle, you will definitely die, and your chances of living will be slim to none!"
"You also said that you will not tolerate a person who is beyond your control to live. Li Ye is also an emperor, so naturally he will not let Liu Mingzhi live!"
"Unless Liu Mingzhi is disbanded and returns to work, he may still have a chance to survive as a rich man who doesn't care about the world."
"Then why do you still..."
"Why do I still defend the northern border and prevent you from going south?"
"Um!"
"hehe.........."
"To put it bluntly, you have been too conceited from the beginning to the end. Although 480,000 soldiers and horses are many, haven't you discovered until now that in this national war, our northern border is only in chaos, and my dragon is not in chaos?
.”
"The dragon that has passed through the wind and clouds is still singing and dancing; the dragon that has passed through the capital Jiangnan is still filled with laughter."
"With ninety million people, how can a dragon with such a prosperous population be destroyed so easily!"
"So what if you captured my northern border?"
"To put it bluntly, the two of you together may not have as many people as I have in the south of the Yangtze River."
"You have destroyed my northern territory. I, the great dragon, will not be able to move my capital to the south of the Yangtze River and make a comeback!"
"In other words, this is a national war."
"Liu Mingzhi is guarding for himself, not for the dragon!"
