Qin Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the female emperor was a昏君 (enlightened monarch in reverse, meaning a foolish ruler). He had no choice but to idle away his days, h...
Great meeting!
Civil and military officials no longer had the ease and laughter of the past. They were all shrouded in gloom and felt extremely heavy-hearted.
They were living a good life and just had an ordinary, common sleep.
How come the sky suddenly fell down when I woke up?
How did the Huns grow wings, fly over the Great Wall defense line, and land in Jingzhou?
It is estimated that it will only take one or two days to reach Jingzhou.
How could this happen?
What’s even more outrageous is that there are only 10,000 defenders left in Jingzhou City!
The huge Jingzhou City, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only has a garrison of 10,000 people...
What's the fuss?
Playing!
Female tyrant, you are deliberately playing us!
All the officials were furious.
I really can't accept such a great stimulation.
As we all know, the Huns were not good people.
He is worse than a robber, worse than a devil, and even worse than an animal.
Wherever the Hun cavalry passed, they burned, killed, and looted everything, leaving no grass behind and not even a single seed.
Because of this, the court officials of the Great Zhou had highly consistent interests in resisting the Huns.
But now, you tell them that the Huns are right under their noses and they may lose their lives at any time.
The officials could no longer sit still and could not bear it any longer. They all stood outside the Taiji Hall, rubbing their hands in anticipation.
They are ready to inherit Zhao Ritian's spirit and give this female tyrant a good scolding.
No matter what, I must make up for the shock and grievance I suffered this morning!
Soon, Yan Jiaoran arrived.
The officials looked at her coldly and bowed perfunctorily.
When disaster strikes and their lives and property are about to be wiped out, they don’t care anymore and just let it go!
The female tyrant's face also looked very heavy, with faint dark circles around her eyes. She looked like she hadn't slept all night, and she looked ugly and haggard.
Serves you right!
Female tyrant!
Everyone was so annoyed that they spat several times in their hearts.
Yan Jiaoran's head also hurt and was buzzing.
Originally, he was planning to show off in front of this group of people and hold a celebration banquet after dealing with Yang Yingguang and Kong Lingda.
I didn't expect that...
When I see these annoying guys again, I have to discuss such annoying issues and look at their dark faces.
Fortunately, she had left the palace to look for her husband last night, and reached a consensus with Qin Yuan.
Guard!
Hold on to the end!
The emperor guards the country's borders and fights to the last soldier!
What this bastard Qin Yuan said must be correct!
Yan Jiaoran took a deep breath and slowly said, "Yanran, read the urgent report from the front line."
Murong Yanran cleared her throat and shouted, "Urgent news from the front line! The Huns are about to launch a surprise attack on Jingzhou!"
Without waiting for anyone to respond, Yan Jiaoran went straight to the point and said, "The military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed. What are your thoughts, my dear ministers?"
Qin Huizhi took a step forward and asked, "Lord Murong, how many Xiongnu troops are coming? When will they arrive? Do you have any detailed information on the military situation?"
Murong Yanran shook her head and said, "No details."
Qin Huizhi then asked, "Have the scouts in Jingzhou City been able to ascertain the enemy's situation?"
Murong Yanran still shook her head and said, "No, the scouts we sent out haven't returned yet."
Qin Huizhi's brow furrowed more and more. He took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, I think we should move the capital!"
"Move the capital?!" Yan Jiaoran snorted.
"Yes, move the capital!" Qin Huizhi explained, "The northern border of the Great Zhou has been constantly harassed by the Xiongnu. If the northern border is lost, the capital will be in danger!"
"Why not move the capital, cross the Yangtze River, and establish a new capital?"
"With the natural barrier of the Yangtze River as our defense, stopping the Huns is a piece of cake!"
Good job!
The moment he opened his mouth, he was already an old capitulator.
Just let them surrender and run away?
Chen Wujiu was unhappy and immediately interrupted Qin Huizhi's endless chatter.
"Your Majesty, I think otherwise!"
"The enemy's situation is unclear at this moment. If we rashly leave the city, wouldn't that only chill the hearts of the Great Zhou soldiers and the people of the world?"
"Jingzhou City has high walls and deep moats, abundant supplies, and a garrison of 10,000 elite soldiers. It can hold out for at least three to five years. What are the mere Xiongnu people worth mentioning?"
Qin Huizhi sneered: "Haha!"
"Master Chen, you are so arrogant!"
"Just the Huns?"
"The Great Wall defense line absorbed 300,000 soldiers. Half of the Great Zhou's annual taxes and grain went to the northern border, where they built countless strong cities and fortresses."
"But what's the result?"
"The Xiongnu's army has already reached Jingzhou!"
"Three hundred thousand men were able to stop the Xiongnu cavalry, and there are only ten thousand men in Jingzhou City. How can they defend it?"
Chen Wujiu was unhappy and began to argue sharply: "Since ancient times, defending a city is easy, but fighting in the field is difficult, especially fighting a field battle with the Xiongnu. Once you leave the city, how can your Majesty's safety be guaranteed?"
"Can you guarantee His Majesty's safety within the city?" Qin Huizhi retorted.
"Why not?" Chen Wujiu replied, "There are three hundred thousand young and strong men in the city, why not?"
"Young and strong?" Qin Huizhi laughed heartily. "Master Chen, are you desperate enough to try any possible cure?"
"If 300,000 elite soldiers couldn't stop it, how could 300,000 young and strong men possibly stop it?"
“…”
Well……
Seeing Chen Wujiu and Qin Huizhi arguing with each other, their faces were red.
The ministers were a little confused.
This...what is going on?
Aren’t these two the direct descendants promoted by the tyrant queen?
Aren’t you one of us?
Why are they arguing in court?
Shouldn't we form a united front and reach a consensus?
The ministers really couldn't understand it.
But Qin Huizhi is really good at speaking.
Every word touched their hearts.
Run, of course you have to run.
It would be best if there were a few people of high moral character who could go and fill the line with the Huns, giving them ten days or half a month to escape and transfer their property.
But then again.
Where did this female tyrant get all these talented people from?
Each one of them has something very interesting!
Especially the one who only hides behind the female tyrant
Behind the scenes, there is a hidden hermit.
Could this also be his plan?
Could it be that the Huns never came?
Just a ruse?
In this way, everything is explained.
Everyone's imagination was opened up, and they felt like they had seen through the secret!
