Sure enough, three days later, a messenger came to report that Li Zhennan had led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack Longcheng in the far north of the Qin Empire. The situation was extremely critical.
Zhao Xin remained calm and summoned many ministers to discuss matters.
After many ministers learned about this situation, their faces turned pale with fear.
After all, their Great Qin Empire rarely encountered such things.
It is unprecedented for hundreds of thousands of troops to launch an attack at one time.
In the court, an official in charge of giving advice immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we must send troops to support us immediately. Li Zhennan has come well prepared this time. If we allow them to break through Dragon City, they will be able to march straight into our hinterland. Many of our people will suffer!"
Zhao Xin took a look at the official and found that he had gray hair and was about 60 years old. His face was full of melancholy. It was obvious that this matter made him very worried.
Zhao Xin also saw clearly the attributes of this person, his name was Wei Wen Zheng.
Although Wei Wenzhen is old, he is also a foul-mouthed guy who often speaks ill of Zhao Xin.
But Zhao Xin discovered that this guy's loyalty had reached 91.
Although 91's loyalty is definitely not particularly strong for him, such a person is relatively loyal to him. At least he will not betray her or do anything bad to her.
Zhao Xin nodded and said, "Very good, I thought so too. I just don't know if anyone else has any opinions?
Can you all tell me how to solve this problem?"
Although he already had a way to deal with Li Zhennan in his mind, Zhao Xin still had to go through the motions.
As soon as Zhao Xin finished speaking, a man ran out and shouted to him, "Your Majesty, this must not happen. This Li Zhennan is coming with such force, and his influence is immense.
Moreover, their northern cavalry is extremely powerful.
If we confront them head-on, we will suffer heavy losses and bring endless disasters to our Great Qin Empire!"
Zhao Xin took a look at this guy and found that his name was Li Tiansheng, but his loyalty was only over 20.
The most important thing is that Zhao Xin seemed to have often heard this guy flattering him before.
But why did you suddenly come out now and speak so seriously?
Zhao Xin frowned and looked at Li Tiansheng: "So what do you want from me?
Do you have any special comments?"
Li Tiansheng said to Zhao Xin without hesitation, "Your Majesty, Li Zhennan is nothing more than a petty thief.
The reason why this guy led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack us is simply because the land in their northern region is barren and there is little food.
In addition, there was a famine there this year, which caused a huge disaster.
All Li Zhennan wanted was two deaths!
Our Great Qin Empire is rich in resources. Now there is so much food piled up like mountains that we can hardly eat it all.
I think we just need to send them some food, so that we can all live in peace and avoid war!"
After hearing this, Wei Wenzheng immediately flew into a rage: "Li Tiansheng, what are you talking about?
Every grain of food in our Great Qin Empire was grown by the hard work of the people of our Great Qin Empire, and it has only been a few years since the people of our Great Qin Empire had enough to eat.
Now, you're going to give our food away?
What do you mean? Our Great Qin Empire now has millions of elite soldiers, and all the people in our Great Qin Empire dare to fight.
How could they still be afraid of those hundreds of thousands of people?"
After hearing this, Li Tiansheng immediately said to Zhao Xin in a very serious tone, "Your Majesty, I think Wei Wenzheng and his entire family should be executed.
This guy is warmongering and only knows how to advocate war all day long.
Guys like this just want to plunge our Great Qin Empire into eternal ruin.
Such a guy must not be allowed to stay in our Great Qin Empire!"
After hearing this, Wei Wenzheng was so angry that his old face turned red: "What did you say, you weak guy without knees, how dare you slander me like this."
"Wei Wenzheng, you still dare to talk back?
Could it be that what Li Tiansheng said was wrong?
Do you really want to start a war between our Great Qin Empire and Li Zhennan?
Do you know how many men of our Great Qin Empire will be killed or injured in such a war?
Every soldier of our Great Qin Empire is a child of our people.
Why don't you let your son go to the front to fight?"
Wei Wenzheng gnashed his teeth in hatred: "My son was originally in the army, and last time, in order to resist the foreign enemy, he was covered in wounds and never made a sound.
Unlike you, you spineless guys, who dares to send all your sons and grandsons to the battlefield?
Are you guys worthy of the support that the people of the Great Qin Empire give you?"
Behind Li Tiansheng, another guy appeared. This guy was Han Tianqi. Han Tianqi pointed at Wei Wenzheng and said angrily, "You old fool, you know your son is in the army, and you still dare to let your son go to the front line?
You old fool, what does your adopted son mean to you?
Is that your own flesh and blood?
In your eyes, is your son just a fighting machine?
A guy like you is not even a human being and is not worthy of being an official of our Great Qin Empire.
You will die right now!"
Zhao Xin didn't expect that so many officials would start arguing just because he asked a simple question.
And the most important thing is that except for Wei Wen Zheng, many other officials in their entire court are blaming Wei Wen Zheng.
The rest of the people who did not accuse Wei Wenzhen were also silent. It could be seen that these guys were all old foxes who were just trying to protect themselves.
Zhao Xin carefully scanned the guys at the scene. These silent officials had a loyalty level of about 50 to 60 towards him.
As for those officials who made particularly fierce noises, except Wei Wenzhen, the rest had a loyalty level of only 10 to 20. More than half of them had a loyalty level in the single digits, and some even had no loyalty at all.
Zhao Xin narrowed his eyes. He had not expected that his court would be in this state.
At this time, he sneered and said, “Everyone, do you want to express your opinion?
How about this, what did you just say? Sending food to Li Zhennan, right?
Let’s put it this way, those who support sending troops to fight the enemy will stand on the left, and those who support sending things to Li Zhennan and asking for peace will stand on the right. Look, which side has more people?
I'll listen to whichever side has more people."
