Volume 1, Chapter 134: Duke Qin Stabbed the Emperor Again
Bai Qi is really going back to Beijing!
The most important thing is that Bai Qi did not return to Beijing alone, but brought an army of 100,000!
This is so horrible!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou and his civil and military officials were all shocked by this bombastic news.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty jumped up from the dragon throne, his eyes full of disbelief.
"How dare he? How dare he!"
"This is a rebellion!"
"Come here, come here, arrest Bai Qi for me, and take all of Bai Qi's relatives to the prison!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was furious and slammed the dragon table frantically. At this moment, he wished he could tear Bai Qi into pieces.
But this time, none of the civil and military officials responded.
Everyone was immersed in the matter of Bai Qi leading his troops back to the capital, and even some civil officials began to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Some civil officials were wondering how big a disturbance Bai Qi's return to the capital would cause!
Even whether the Emperor of the Great Zhou could sit firmly on the throne was still a matter of debate.
When everyone thinks of Bai Qi's ruthlessness, only a fool would offend Bai Qi.
Even the imperial censors who always liked to make trouble for others did not dare to casually accuse Bai Qi at this moment, but said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Bai Qi's return to the capital with his troops does not necessarily mean rebellion! Maybe he just came back to visit his relatives!"
Military commander: “….”
Do you feel guilty for saying this?
They all thought it was bullshit.
"Fuck you!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou grabbed the teacup and smashed it on his face.
Did these civil officials really treat him as a fool?
General Cao Changqiu standing by almost burst out laughing. These civil officials are really good at changing their attitudes according to the situation.
However, he also saw clearly the moral character of these civil officials.
You really treat people differently.
Yue Shenqiang and Yang Wudi went to the capital alone. They could both frame them with a crime.
I wish I could confiscate their property and exterminate their entire clan.
Now Bai Qi is leading an army of 100,000 and is even going to attack the counties along the way, but the civil officials actually say that he is coming back to visit his relatives?
Are you here to see your mother?
After cursing in his heart, Cao Changqiu said to the Emperor of Great Zhou: "Your Majesty, Bai Qi is leading his army back to the capital. This matter can be a big deal or a small one."
"Don't touch Bai Qi's family rashly for now!"
"The best way is to let Bai Qi lead his troops back to Honghua City!"
As soon as the general finished speaking, the people below immediately responded in unison:
"Right, right, right! The general is far-sighted. Our plan now is to stabilize Bai Qi first."
"Your Majesty, please do not act on impulse. Now you should focus on appeasing Bai Qi!"
"Bai Qi's fighting power is unparalleled. He defeated the Xiongnu on the grassland. Now no one can suppress Bai Qi!"
"Calm down first, don't let Bai Qi feel disappointed!"
The civil officials quickly asked the Emperor of Zhou to make long-term plans.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou also calmed down at this moment. Who is Bai Qi? He is the undefeated god of war!
Ever since Bai Qi joined the army, he has returned with great victory every time!
Moreover, Bai Qi is a vengeful person. If he really attacks his family now, the Emperor of Zhou can imagine that Bai Qi would rather die himself, and will definitely twist off the Emperor of Zhou's head before he dies!
This is the reckless man who would risk his own life for another’s!
He has finally gained 300 years of life, so how could he bear to go head-on with Bai Qi?
"My dear ministers, do you have any good ideas to make Bai Qi withdraw his troops?"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty questioned all the civil and military officials.
The civil officials immediately suggested: "Why not transfer the Duke of Qin back to the capital? He is the leader of the old Qin people, and most of the soldiers under Bai Qi are old Qin people."
"As long as Duke Qin returns to the capital, I believe those soldiers who followed Bai Qi in making trouble will retreat quickly!"
"As long as Bai Qi's soldiers go back, I believe it will be easy to deal with Bai Qi alone."
If they are not afraid of Bai Qi, the royal family of the Great Zhou will be able to deal with him.
What they feared was Bai Qi leading the troops.
If other generals follow suit, the Great Zhou will be in chaos!
This is a good idea!
The eyes of the Great Zhou Emperor lit up, and he immediately ordered: "Come here, send an urgent 800-li army to Western Chu to summon the Duke of Qin to lead his troops back to the capital."
Before the eunuch delivering the imperial edict left the Golden Palace, a voice came from outside: "Qin Pojun, the son of Duke Qin, wants to see you!"
When he heard that it was Qin Pojun who came, the Emperor of Great Zhou smiled happily and said anxiously: "Hurry up and let the prince of Qin come in!"
Soon, Qin Pojun, dressed in black armor, stepped in.
Before he could even salute, the Great Zhou Emperor could not wait to step down from the dragon throne and greeted him enthusiastically:
"My dear, you have come just in time. I was just about to summon your father, Duke Qin, back to the capital!"
In order to show his sincerity, he even pulled Qin Pojun's arm, wanting to stage a scene of harmony between the monarch and his subject.
Qin Pojun avoided the Great Zhou Emperor with disgust, then sighed and said, "I came to see the Emperor for this very reason!"
"My father, Duke Qin, was fighting a long battle with Western Chu. He was losing the battle and was about to lose, so he sent me back to ask for help."
"My father wants Yue Shenqiang or Yang Wudi to reinforce us!"
"If the two of them can't get away, we can ask Bai Qi to reinforce them!"
Qin Pojun's words shocked everyone.
You're not here to offer support, you're here to cry poor?
"you!"
The eyes of the Emperor of Great Zhou widened.
Then he became furious.
Can you still have some shame?
Duke Qin can’t defeat Western Chu?
Do you really take me for a fool?
The King of Western Chu almost peed his pants when he saw the Duke of Qin. If it weren't for the rebellion of Northern Liang and the Xiongnu, and if it weren't for the fact that the Great Zhou had launched a war of annihilation, you, Duke Qin, would have destroyed Western Chu long ago!
You tell me now: You can’t beat Xi Chu?
They even asked Yang Wudi, Yue Shenqiang, Bai Qi and others to go for reinforcement!
What do you want to do? Don’t I understand?
This is putting pressure on me!
At this moment, the Emperor of the Great Zhou felt that he was being fooled like a fool. He pointed at Qin Pojun with trembling fingers and wanted to curse him.
But when he saw Qin Pojun's half-smile, the Emperor of Zhou swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Now Bai Qi is leading his troops to the capital. The situation is critical, and Bai Qi alone is enough to give him a headache.
If we offend the Duke of Qin again at this time, God knows what will happen to the Great Zhou!
The Great Zhou Emperor could only swallow his anger and said through gritted teeth: "My dear minister! Go back and tell Duke Qin that we must hold on! We cannot send reinforcements to the front for the time being."
At this time, Cao Changqiu and others all showed disdain on their faces. The Emperor of the Great Zhou really deserved it!
Don’t you know that Yue Shenqiang, Yang Wudi and Duke Qin are very close friends? Now you are going to confiscate the property of Yue Shenqiang and Yang Wudi and exterminate their entire clans?
Duke Qin will definitely cause trouble for you!
Sure enough, Qin Pojun said in a loud voice: "My father, Duke Qin, also knows the emperor's difficulties, but we are fighting in the front and need to provide relief to the soldiers. I heard that Bai Qi seized 800,000 taels of silver. Why don't you give us 400,000 taels of silver first!"
"Let us provide relief to the soldiers at the front!"
"Boost the morale of the troops!"
"Otherwise, Da Zhou is in danger!"
you!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Bai Qi led his troops back to the capital to demonstrate against him.
Duke Qin asked him directly for silver, and the first thing he asked for was 400,000 taels.
This is clearly an attempt to stab him in the heart.
But now the Emperor of the Great Zhou was helpless. If he did not agree to Qin Pojun's request, he could not imagine whether Duke Qin would also lead his troops back to the capital and join forces with Bai Qi to encircle and suppress the rebellion together!
The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had just received 400,000 taels of silver, so how could he bear to give it away? He could only look at the civil officials and ask, "What do you think, my dear ministers?"
He really hoped that the civil officials would stand up and oppose it.
But now all the civil officials are looking up at the ceiling or counting the ants on the ground. Only a fool would speak at this time.
Bai Qi alone is enough to give the Emperor of Zhou a headache. If he offends the Duke of Qin again, the emperor really needs to be replaced!
Since the emperor is going to be replaced, why should they offend Bai Qi and the Duke of Qin who now hold a large army?
Some civil officials even bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should allocate some money to Duke Qin, otherwise the war ahead will be worrying!"
"Yes, yes, don't let the soldiers at the front suffer!"
"Your Majesty is still selecting concubines at this time. If the soldiers knew about this, they would definitely call you a lecher and immoral person!"
The civil officials mocked the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty openly and secretly.
This was to show the attitude to Bai Qi and also to show goodwill to the State of Qin.
In case these people really replace the emperor of the Great Zhou, they can surrender in advance.
"you!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou must be furious. Are these civil officials starting to sell him out now?
This is even more shameless than him!
"Okay, okay, I'll give you some silver! But I only have 200,000 taels of silver on hand!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou gritted his teeth and said to Qin Pojun, he knew he had to give it.
The Duke of Qin took advantage of this opportunity to launch his attack, knowing for sure that he would not dare to object.
"Then I will thank the emperor for the reward on behalf of the soldiers at the front!"
Qin Pojun smiled and left quickly after getting the silver.
He completed the task his father assigned to him.
It takes money, but it is very important.
Without silver, it would be impossible for the Emperor of Zhou to reward the three armies.
After Qin Pojun left, the Emperor of Zhou frantically threw all the memorials to the ground.
Pointing at Qin Pojun's back, he said, "Just wait, one day, I will destroy your Qin family as well!"
But now it’s raining cats and dogs!
Not only was he unable to recall the Duke of Qin to the capital, he also lost 200,000 taels of silver. He even had to send troops to defend the Duke of Qin to prevent him from returning to the capital with Bai Qi to be punished.
At this moment, the Emperor of Zhou felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
Then he shouted to the people below: "Who has a plan to retreat now? Do you really want to watch Bai Qi lead his troops back to the capital?"
"If he comes back, will things end well for you?"
