Chapter 191 The bad news comes back, is it war or not?
"Ah!" Sima Zong roared.
"It's true, it's true!"
His face was gloomy: "Master Wang Min is right, the Dog Emperor is really going to attack Xiliang, and climbing the city is the first signal for the army."
"Indeed, we have sent envoys to alienate me from Xiliang. This dog emperor is so vicious!"
He turned to look at a Xiliang general, gritted his teeth and said, "Where's my mentor Wang Min? My father once asked me to listen to her plans more."
"Now that Xiliang is in turmoil, we can't do without her!"
The general frowned and said: "Commander Wang Min sent back a message saying that he was injured to avoid being pursued by the imperial army. He had to take a detour back and it might take some time to reach Xiliang."
Hearing this, Sima Zong's pupils showed a hint of uneasiness!
Wang Min was the mentor pointed out to him by Sima Tu at the beginning. Although she was a woman, she had great talents. He obeyed her advice and was very convinced, but now she is not here.
"quick!"
"Nothing can happen to our teacher Wang Min. I am also pointing out her to advise me. I will send the best cavalry from Xiliang to help her return to Liang."
"Whoever dares to stop him will be killed! The imperial army will kill him without fail!"
"With her here, and the governor's heavy Xiliang army, why can't I fulfill my father's will?"
Hearing this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the eyes of that Xiliang general, Horn.
How could an eldest son who inherited the position of Grand Governor be so obedient to a woman? It is not a good thing to ask too many outsiders in military affairs!
Moreover, he disliked Wang Min very much and always felt that she was very ambitious.
In just a few months, he has reached the center and peak of power in Xiliang.
But the situation was such that Horn did not dare to say anything and could only do as he was told.
…
When the news came back to the imperial capital, it was already two days later.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Yun had dealt with the incident involving the Ninth Prince and had just rested, preparing to celebrate the Chinese New Year with Concubine Xiao Shu and the other girls.
As a result, Xiliang undergoes drastic changes and bad news comes back!
His face was livid and furious, and he quickly convened a cabinet meeting to discuss countermeasures in the Taiji Hall.
All officials with rank five or above will participate!
The situation in Xiliang worsened. Sima Zong succeeded to the position of governor, massacred the imperial envoys, and rose up to rebel!
At the same time, nearly 200,000 troops were facing off in Pancheng on the northwest border!
The war is about to break out.
The King of Zhenbei has hurriedly submitted twelve secrets and asked for instructions.
The civil and military officials in the court looked horrified!
Although the imperial court has been in turmoil for many years, there has never been a collision between hundreds of thousands of troops.
A war of this level is devastating to the world. If you don't pay attention, the country's foundation will collapse.
"His Majesty!"
"This man is too arrogant. He dared to openly kill the imperial envoys. None of the 107 people in his team survived!"
"Master Sun's head was even made into a rubber ball by the Xiliang army and hung high on the top of the city!"
"Poor Master Sun, he died miserably!"
Some ministers were crying and howling, very angry.
The entire Tai Chi Hall looked ugly.
They all heard about the tragic situation, and their death was extremely tragic.
"Your Majesty, Xiliang will rebel sooner or later, and I am willing to go!"
"An army of one hundred thousand can defeat Xiliang and capture the traitors!" Xiao Jian didn't say much, his tiger body shook, and a cold light shot out from his eyes.
An army of 100,000 people rushed to attack, and they wanted to defeat 300,000 people. It can be said that morale was greatly boosted.
For a time, the generals lined up in excitement.
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to go!"
Generals such as Kou Tianxiong, Yan Zhong, and Qin Tao all asked for help, and they were full of murderous intent.
Qin Yun looked very pleased. These people were all promoted by himself, and no one flinched at the critical moment.
However, he deeply understands that once this battle begins, there will be no winner!
As the head of the hundred officials, Gu Chuntang was the first to stand up and oppose.
With a serious face: "No!"
"Xiliang's soldiers are strong and strong, and they are the soldiers of the imperial court. How can they kill each other, wear each other out, and make the Huns, Turks and other places a joke?"
"Daxia is recuperating. If a large-scale war breaks out at this time, all the imperial court's plans for the year will be ruined."
"Furthermore, even the King of Zhenbei said that Xiliang's internal situation is also in a mess. Although they put on a show, they actually dare not start a war at all."
Zhao Heng, Minister of War, stood up with a frown.
He hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I think I can't fight."
To fight or not to fight is a clear distinction.
Some young generals were filled with indignation and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiliang has already killed the imperial envoys. If we don't fight, how can we explain to the world?"
"Wouldn't it mean that in the future, all the feudal ministers would dare to support the army, resist the court, and despise the emperor?"
Some civil servants responded.
"Hmph, can you bear the consequences of war?"
"Do you know how much pressure the household department is under?"
"Once defeated, the majesty of Daxia will be lost, and the Xiongnu and other places will take advantage of the low morale to enter the country with great enthusiasm!"
With a bang!
The two ministers with different opinions all quarreled.
Qin Yun let them fight until they were tired, then he knocked on the table and said very steadily: "My dear friends, please be quiet for a while."
The civil servants immediately stopped and looked at Qin Yun.
"My majesty cannot be trampled upon!"
"The envoy was killed, Sima Zong must die!"
The steady tone, full of killing power, convinced all the officials, and no one objected.
Indeed, no matter what, this Sima Zong must die, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public.
Qin Yun changed the topic and said: "But I don't want to see the imperial army and the local army fighting each other. Once the war starts, there will be no winner."
After hearing this, all the ministers were silent.
Qin Yun added: "At the northwest junction, the Zhenbei Army is firmly stationed at Pancheng. It is impossible for the Xiliang Army to easily cross into the Central Plains."
"As long as we can't afford the war, I will have time to handle this matter smoothly."
All the civil and military officials raised their heads with surprise. Does your Majesty have an idea?
Qin Yun stood up with his hands behind his back, steady and dignified. This was the temperament he had developed after experiencing so many palace changes.
His calm demeanor made all officials feel more at ease.
"The Sima family has deep roots in Xiliang, and at the critical moment when Sima Tu was killed, the three armies were basically twisted into one."
"So even if there is a war, it is not at this time."
"Pass on my will and issue an imperial edict to Xiliang, condemn Xiliang for killing the imperial envoys, and ask Xiliang to hand over Sima Zong."
"At the same time, Sima Zong's position as Grand Governor was abolished and his younger brother Sima Cang succeeded him to rule the entire Xiliang."
"In less than three days, the crisis of climbing the city can be resolved."
"If we wait a few more days, there will definitely be a mutiny within Xiliang!"
After hearing this, there was a short period of silence in Tai Chi Hall.
Immediately, everyone's eyes burst into admiration. Your Majesty, you are really a man of power!
This move alienates people's hearts, which is more embarrassing than the conspiracy!
The two Sima Zong brothers were both direct descendants, so how could they not desire power? Even if they knew that this imperial edict was a estrangement, it would still sow the seeds of division within Xiliang.
Once Sima's military power was split, it would be too easy for the court to regain it!
Even the elders of the court like Zhao Heng admired Qin Yun.
They knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, one plan can solve the crisis in the northwest!"
Qin Yun smiled slightly, neither optimistic nor pessimistic.
But he was very worried in his heart, he just didn't want to cause a disturbance among the ministers.
Behind the sudden change in Xiliang is the shadow of Wang Min!
The Jin Yiwei found out her status in Xiliang and single-handedly took charge of the murder of the envoy. This woman had a big plot!
