The First Tyrant of Daxia

A smile appeared on Li Mi's lips, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Jian.

"General Xiao, do you dare?!"

Deceiving too much!

This is too much!!

Xiao Jian was furious, his eyes were bloodshot and veins bulged on his forehead, and he was about to agree!

Suddenly!

"Be quiet!"

Qin Yun's big palms slammed down on the dragon table, making a loud bang!

In an instant, the court fell silent!

Xiao Jian woke up as if from a dream, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he almost fell into Li Mi's trap!

Li Mi frowned, looking somewhat disappointed.

"Duke Shen, since you want to bet, why don't you bet with me?"

Qin Yun looked at him with a smile, and anyone could sense the coldness in his expression.

Behind Li Mi are many aristocratic families.

He bowed with a smile, confident and fearless, and said: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how dare I?"

Qin Yun sneered and cursed in his heart, I think you not only dare, but also very dare.

"Duke Shen, you don't dare, but I do!"

"Since you said you can guarantee to defeat Xiliang in a short time, then I dare to say this too. Defeat Xiliang in a short time!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chuntang and others' faces all changed.

"His Majesty!"

"This is inappropriate."

Qin Yun raised one hand to stop the many loyal ministers from trying to dissuade him, and looked at Li Mi calmly, "Duke Shen, how about this?"

"Let's make a gentleman's agreement."

"I defeated the three armies of Xiliang and occupied Pancheng, the gateway to Xiliang. Even if I win, you will have to bear the expenses of the entire war."

"On the contrary, I will let you lead the attack on Xiliang."

"If you return victorious, I will select a capable person from among the noble families to join the cabinet and serve as the right prime minister!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked!

Your Majesty and the aristocratic families have begun to compete secretly!

Many ministers shrank their necks, not daring to say a word, let alone take sides.

Even Gu Chuntang and others were silent. They knew that this day would come sooner or later!

There was a gleam of joy in Li Mi's eyes.

I originally wanted to suppress Xiao Jian's power, but I never thought that the emperor would take the initiative to bet with me!

Once victory is achieved, the aristocratic families will once again take control of the cabinet!

By then, who will be in charge of the world? It all depends on us!

Thinking of this, a fanatical flame appeared in his eyes.

Not only him, but also all the ministers from aristocratic families, although they dared not speak, were extremely looking forward to it!

"it is good!"

"Your Majesty, this is a gentleman's agreement, and I agree to it!"

"As long as Your Majesty can win, I will bear all the expenses of the Xiliang Campaign even if it means losing everything!"

Qin Yun sneered. This bastard is still pretending to be poor. Does a noble family need to go bankrupt to support a local battle?

Damn, he has two faces!

"In this case, all the civil and military officials are here, so let them bear witness."

"I believe you, I can't afford to cheat like this."

Li Mi smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course, I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty."

Qin Yun's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "By the way, I must reiterate it."

"I am talking about defeating the three armies of Xiliang and occupying Pancheng, not completely recovering Xiliang in a short period of time. After all, Xiliang is too big and it will take time."

Hearing this, Li Mi hesitated for a moment.

But he still agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"The goal is to defeat the three armies of Xiliang and occupy Pancheng."

"It's not too late to recover the whole thing step by step."

Qin Yun smiled. He felt pressured, but he was more confident!

"In that case, my dear ministers, if you have nothing else to do, please leave the court."

Li Mi's eyes flickered, and he immediately asked, "Your Majesty, when will you mobilize the troops?"

Qin Yun looked back and gave him a cold look: "Why, you want to know and then tell on me?"

Li Mi's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "How dare a humble official inform on a military or national matter?"

"Although we have a bet, your majesty and I share the same goal, which is to defeat the Xiliang rebels."

Qin Yun was disdainful.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it will only take me one month to recapture Pancheng, and let Duke Shen see how Xiliang was defeated miserably!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers were shocked and thought they had heard it wrong.

Pancheng is a major barrier for Xiliang!

Li Mi sneered in his heart.

A month?

Pancheng is an important place, easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as Wang Min holds on to Xiliang City, he may not be able to get beyond Pancheng even in half a year, let alone a month!

This emperor is too young after all!

The morning court ended just like that.

The people from the aristocratic families also left with satisfaction.

Everything went as planned.

Royal Garden.

Qin Yun walked in the front, followed by a large group of trusted generals and cabinet ministers.

"Your Majesty, it is really inappropriate for you to agree to this agreement with Li Mi."

"If we lose, the aristocratic families will be in power, and then more officials and scholars will come to return the favor."

“People’s hearts will also turn to them.”

Gu Chuntang couldn't help but said.

Qin Yun stopped, and dozens of people also stopped.

He turned around and smiled: "The gentleman's agreement has been made. Do I have to break my promise and make a fool of myself?"

"Ugh!"

The cabinet ministers sighed and felt a little regretful that they should have stopped it just now.

Even if you suppress the aristocratic families, you can also find other opportunities.

But the generals are all ready to fight.

Especially Xiao Jian, his eyes were wide open and murderous.

He clasped his fists and knelt down, his voice as loud as thunder.

"His Majesty!"

"This time, let me lead the troops."

"I will definitely capture Pancheng and smash that bastard Li Mi's face!"

"He usually keeps quiet, but now he dares to be the messenger for the aristocratic families. What a bastard! He must have forgotten who gave him the title of Duke!"

"I'm so angry!"

Bang bang bang!

Yan Zhong, Mu Le and others knelt together with extraordinary momentum.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to follow General Xiao and capture Pancheng within a month!"

"If it fails, I will die as a token of my sin!"

Qin Yun looked around and his confidence increased greatly.

This group of fierce generals have the determination to succeed and the courage to sacrifice themselves for the country!

"Everyone get up first."

"I need to think about this matter again." He held out his hand and everyone stood up.

Xiao Jian said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed any longer."

"We only have one month to attack Pancheng."

Hearing this, everyone's face was covered with anxiety and worry.

Most of them were from humble backgrounds and were loyal to Qin Yun. They did not want to see him compromise and be controlled by aristocratic families in the future.

Qin Yun took a deep breath.

"Although there is only one month, I have already made preparations in advance."

"That batch of food should be arriving at the Xiliang border soon, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jian and others' faces changed.

Suspiciously, he asked, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Qian Lin's batch of grain was sent ahead of time?"

Qin Yun nodded.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Your Majesty is truly a man of foresight and has the ability to predict the future!

"Lord Guo, go ahead and bypass the aristocratic families. Prepare all the food that the states have squeezed out, and transport it to the front line. Be ready to go to war at any time!"

"Xiao Jian, all of you, follow me to the Imperial Study!"

"Discuss the battle of Pancheng together!"
