"Whether we fight or not, it will be decided by the heroic spirits of the people and soldiers at the border!”
"Great Qin doesn't need any form of peace. There is only one word: kill!”
As he said this, Ying Rui's aura suddenly became piercingly cold, as if it was a cold day.
"The heroic spirits will have the final say. Great Qin doesn't need any form of peace; it can only stop killing with killing!”
Hearing this, Wang Jian, Meng Ao, Sima Jin, and the other soldiers felt their blood boil.
Unknowingly, they thought of Great Qin's history. It was the Guanzhong Plains that they had forcefully taken from the Xirong people.
Facing the barbarians outside the Great Wall, no matter how powerful the other side was, Great Qin would never admit defeat!
"Jiujiu Old Qin, we went through the national crisis together. Back then, Great Qin…"
These eight words expressed the old Qin people's unyielding will to fight to the death. Cai Ze, Feng Quji, Gan He, and the other civil officials were all affected by those words.
Immediately after, a surge of hot blood called blood was awakened, which swept through every part of his body.
"What's going on? The Qin people's aura suddenly changed, and they look extremely terrifying.”
That was a substantial killing intent that pressed down on Tu Gu until he could not breathe. He could only look at the scene in front of him in horror.
"Men, drag the Xiongnu emissary away and behead him in front of Weiyang Hall to comfort the souls of the border people and soldiers.”
Seeing that the fire was about ready, Ying Rui waved his sleeve and said indifferently.
"Great Qin's Emperor, Great Qin's Emperor, that's for the sake of peace between the two sides.”
Seeing that he was about to be beheaded, Soaring Bone was instantly dumbfounded. The sudden change caught him off guard.
"What peace? We don't have to trouble the Xiongnu to worry about this, because Great Qin will kill its way to peace.”
It would have been better if he didn't mention it. However, when he mentioned this matter, Wang He's tone sank and he bluntly said.
"Cai!"
Old General Wang's words struck the heart of the matter, and all the civil and military officials present cheered loudly. The atmosphere of unity reached its peak.
Peace-Great Qin would personally slaughter its way through the world, and there would be no need for any form of peace.
"No, Great Qin's Emperor, you can't kill me. It will definitely cause a war between the two sides.”
In a moment of desperation, Soaring Bone threw out his last life-saving card, wanting to make the Qin people have some scruples.
"Ever since the four generations of kings of Great Qin, there have been countless battles.”
This was simply a blatant threat. How could Feng Quji, one of the civil officials, endure it? Thus, he abandoned his previous opinion and stood on the side of the generals.
"That's right. If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
Immediately after, Cai Ze, Xiong Gu, and the others spoke up one after another. In the end, it formed a scene where all the civil and military officials of the court were united against the outside world. They did not talk about peace negotiations with the other party.
Since they had offended Great Qin's borders, no matter which faction it was, they would have to pay a heavy price.
Moreover, Great Qin had never cowered or admitted defeat before.
"Spare me, spare me, Great Qin's Emperor.”
The Qin people were not joking. The Xiongnu envoy, Tu Gugu, was completely flustered. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
“………”
Ying Rui couldn't be bothered to say anything about this and ignored the Xiongnu messenger.
"Take him away."
The two Imperial Army soldiers dragged the Xiongnu envoy, Tu Gugu, to the left and right, and headed straight for the entrance of the hall.
"Violent Qin, the Violent Qin recognized by the other six states, publicly beheaded an envoy, Violent Qin.”
Kneeling in front of the hall, Tu Meng Gu couldn't move. He kept cursing the unreasonable Qin people.
"Plop!"
With a flash of cold light, Sudden Bone's head fell to the ground, and hot blood splattered on the ground.
The powerlessly collapsed corpses said that anyone who dared to offend Great Qin's borders would die, and they did not need any form of peace.
"Awesome!"
This was the first time he had killed an envoy from the barbarians beyond the Great Wall. Even the disciplined soldiers of the Imperial Army could not help but exclaim in satisfaction.
"Your Majesty is right; peace is obtained through bloody battles; Great Qin doesn't need such peace.”
Wang Ben didn't want to punish them, but he agreed with them.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu have always been insatiable. They must be hiding something by suddenly sending an envoy to discuss peace talks.”
When it came to hiding something, Wei Liao, who was one of the insiders, didn't say it too clearly.
Listening and guessing was much more effective than saying it directly. It would help the king to get in touch with the military power of the Lantian army.
"Could it be that the Xiongnu are plotting for the fertile Hetao?”
His words were like waking someone from a dream. The expressions of several high-ranking civil officials changed drastically. They had almost fallen into the Xiongnu's plan.
They used the peace talks as a cover on the surface to confuse them and cover up their secret actions.
"This Wei Liao is so young, but his vision of the big picture is very unique. The civil officials are speechless.”
Wang He was able to sense that something was wrong because of his many years of experience. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at Wei Liao and point out the problem.
"If I'm not wrong, the Xiongnu are probably after the Hetao region.”
Hearing this, Meng Ao broke out in a cold sweat. He was shocked by the thought that had just appeared.
The Hetao region was located to the north of Great Qin. If anything happened, not only would they lose the warhorse production base, but they would also threaten the counties in the country.
"It's almost time…"
The cooperation of his trusted subordinate was just right. Ying Rui retracted his gaze and reached the final stage.
Only the civil officials realized that a momentary mistake would eventually bring about extremely serious consequences. They could only be speechless.
Then, everything would be smooth sailing once they gained the military power of the Lantian Army.
"King, you have to take every step carefully and re-define your attitude towards the outside world. The civil and military officials will be united and you will be able to legitimately come into contact with the military power of Lantian.”
Looking at the civil and military officials around him, Wei Liao couldn't help but let out a sigh. It was enough to kill three birds with one stone.
Of course!
If Wei Liao had been to the modern era, he would have described it this way. The most profound method of time was the method of the king.
"I hope Your Majesty will punish me. This old minister had previously been negligent and underestimated the wild ambitions of the Xiongnu.”
Even though Xiong Gu was a wily old man who could be called an elder in the imperial court, he still had lingering fear and did not avoid the mistakes he made in his previous report.
Think about it, once they insisted on agreeing to the Xiongnu emissary, they would lose strategic locations on the border and would not be able to escape from the consequences.
"Your Majesty, I should have thought about it at that time. I almost fell into the barbarian's plot.”
As one of the ministers who agreed to the peace talks, Prime Minister Cai Ze had no choice but to step forward and admit his mistake to the King.
"We couldn't react in time and didn't discover the hidden conspiracy. We voluntarily ask Your Majesty to punish us.”
Immediately, Feng Quji, Wang Wan, and Gan He stepped forward to plead for punishment.
After all, they had underestimated the ambitions of the Xiongnu and did not notice that something was wrong.
"The Xiongnu have always been a threat to the north of Great Qin. If they suddenly send envoys to negotiate, it definitely won't be anything good.”
Looking at the civil officials who were asking the king to punish them, Wang He, Meng Ao, Wang Jian, and the other generals naturally felt a wave of relief. This should have happened long ago.
