Chapter 482 Human Emperor
Ministers like Shang Rong, Bigan, You Ping, Yang Ren and others all looked shocked!
These ministers are usually experienced and calm, and they never show their emotions.
But now, everyone showed surprise, even fear!
It is conceivable what a sensation and impact this incident caused them!
In comparison, the rebellion in Xiqi became a trivial matter!
Because Xiqi's rebellion was an internal conflict among the human race.
To put it bluntly, even if the current His Majesty is defeated, nothing will happen to them.
But when Chi You leads a tide of ferocious beasts and the Wu clan army, that is a completely different matter!
This is an irreconcilable situation between humans and witches!
Besides, what is Chiyou?
He is a legendary ancient witch.
He was the ruthless man who beat the Holy Emperor of the Human Race and the two Emperors Yan and Huang into a state of disarray, but he was also the one who won the victory by a narrow margin in the end!
Now, he has come back to life?
Li Qing saw that the ministers below were all a little flustered.
Only Bigan and Shang Rongshang remained stable.
Then he smiled faintly and said, "Why, are you scared?"
Suddenly, more than a hundred officials quickly suppressed their panic, regained their composure, and said in unison: "We are not afraid!"
Li Qing just smiled and didn't say anything.
Instead, Shang Rong stepped out and took a step forward.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled?"
When he asked this question, all the ministers stretched their necks and looked at Li Qing.
Although they were ministers, they had no plan to deal with Chi You.
We can only wait for His Majesty's decision.
Li Qing said calmly, "In ancient times, Emperors Yan and Huang led the human race to kill him, and now, he has resurrected and returned? That's nothing more than me killing him again."
The ministers were stunned when they heard this.
Li Qing stood up and said, "Shang Rong, Bigan, listen to my orders."
Shang Rong and Bigan quickly knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty!"
Li Qing's voice was calm, yet unquestionable, and echoed in the Wanshou Hall.
"There's no need to spread this. We must ensure that the people of the country remain safe. Minister Shang, please arrange this matter. Furthermore, all the necessary supplies for the Xiqi war must be met."
"promise!"
"Uncle, I will lead my 10,000 divine guards and 150,000 city defenders to the north to fight Chi You. You can select one or two of my capable generals. I will dispatch the troops in an hour. There is no need to spread the news."
"What!? Your Majesty, you are going to personally lead another expedition to the north!? That's Chi You! Your Majesty! You must not take any risks!"
When Bigan heard this, he was horrified and quickly looked up and shouted at Li Qing.
Li Qing calmly asked, "If I don't go, who will?"
"We have our own army to suppress it. Now there are countless capable ministers and generals in the country, and there are more than tens of millions of soldiers hidden in the country. Just one order from Your Majesty, and we will all go to fight for the sake of the human race! After all, Chi You is a witch, not a thief from Xiqi. These are two different things! Your Majesty! Our human race now has hundreds of millions of people, not just a few million in ancient times! Even if we use a sea of people to fill the gap, it will be enough to kill Chi You!"
Bigan spoke in a high-pitched voice, and it was obvious that he was extremely opposed to Li Qing going to the north.
After all, Li Qing is the Emperor of Man.
If Li Qing was killed by Chi You in the north.
Then the Cheng Tang Empire would probably be really overthrown!
On the contrary, it doesn’t matter how many ordinary human soldiers, monks, and even civilians die!
Shang Rong also responded, "That's right! What the Prime Minister said is exactly right! Your Majesty! You must not take any risks yourself! Think about Chi You. Even if he broke through Beibing Pass, Beiyu Pass, and Beizhong Pass, what would happen? He would be trapped in the land of Shenzhou and piled to death by the endless human race!"
Everyone nodded quickly, all trying to stop Li Qing from leading the army in person.
After all, the safety of the Human Emperor is more important than anything else.
Li Qing looked at the ministers kneeling below.
The calm face suddenly smiled.
His chuckle was extremely obvious and harsh in the empty Wanshou Hall.
The voices of advice from the ministers gradually disappeared.
Li Qing's laughter also stopped.
Li Qing looked at the ministers below and said slowly, "My dear ministers, Beibing Pass has a population of one million, Beiyu Pass has a population of over three million, and Beizhong Pass has a population of over four million. Should all these people die at the hands of ferocious beasts?"
The ministers were speechless for a moment.
But Bigan said slowly: "The safety of the Emperor is worth billions!"
Bigan was very smart, so the indifference of a smart person was also revealed.
Li Qing's safety is naturally more important than the population of tens of millions.
Li Qing shook his head slightly and said, "Uncle, you are wrong."
Bigan did not answer, he knew whether he was right or wrong.
Li Qing didn't wait for Bigan to reply, but simply said: "They are my people, and I am their king and father. A king and father is a king as well as a father. How can a father, afraid of death, send his children to fight against a powerful enemy?"
Bigan still didn't say anything, just knelt on the ground with his neck stiff.
Because of this matter, it is useless to say more, and it is even more useless to reveal it.
The so-called king and father are just terms.
The life of the Human Emperor is precious compared to that of ordinary people, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times! A million times more precious!
Li Qing glanced at his ministers and saw that they all had the same expression as Bigan.
Obviously, he disagreed with what he said.
Therefore, Li Qing sighed and said calmly: "Since he is the emperor and father, respected, worshipped, and worshipped by the people, he should have the responsibilities of an emperor and father."
At this point, Li Qing's voice suddenly became louder.
He just shouted, "What is the responsibility of a king and a father!?"
Everyone raised their heads slightly and looked at Li Qing.
Li Qing said in a deep voice: "The duty of a ruler and a father is to protect the well-being of the people! To ensure the peace of the country! To scare away the foreign enemies! To eliminate all the thieves!"
Li Qing, with a hint of anger in his eyes, lowered his gaze and looked at the court officials and said, "How can a king not fight and let his people die?"
"so!"
Li Qing's voice became louder and louder, shaking the Wanshou Hall.
"Your Majesty and Father! You must keep the enemy out of the country. You must, the Emperor, guard the country! You must! The King dies for the country!"
"Only then can I fulfill my duty as a king! Only then can I not lose my dignity as the Emperor of Man!"
Li Qing's voice resounded throughout the entire palace!
Inside the Wanshou Hall, all the court officials were stunned with shock.
Some people even collapsed directly to the ground!
What a great talk!
Their hearts were beating like thunder!
Just talking about it made their blood boil!
The Emperor guards the national gate, and the King dies for the country!
This is what a leader of the human race, a king of the human race, should do!
Shang Ronglao's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out.
Bigan even lowered his head to the ground and kowtowed three times with great force.
"Your Majesty, the Great and Supreme Emperor!!"
Bigan's voice seemed to be breaking as he shouted with boundless pride: "Ten thousand years! Ten thousand years!!"
"Long live our emperor! Long live the emperor!"
At that moment, all the ministers knelt down and kowtowed.
There were only a hundred people, but their shouts were as loud as thunder and waves!
