The First Tyrant of Daxia

"Yes, Your Majesty, these two men are simply incapable of commanding such a major battle!"

"If we don't change it, the imperial court will lose all face!"

"I heard that Pancheng was attacked eight times, but they didn't even touch the city wall. What kind of nonsense is this?"

All the ministers spoke up one after another, pointing their fingers at Yan and Mu, the two commanders on the front battlefield.

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "Don't you know that changing the commander before the battle is a taboo?"

"But I think that appropriate adjustments will be beneficial to the war situation," said Li Mi.

Qin Yun said: "Well, tell me, who is the most suitable replacement?"

The ministers looked at Li Mi.

Li Mi shook his shoulders, feeling confident when he learned that the punitive army had no food.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is natural that we should replace someone from my aristocratic family. The blood flowing in their bodies is different, so naturally their abilities and knowledge are different."

"As long as Your Majesty is willing to let the son of a nobleman lead the three armies, Xiliang will surely be defeated!"

"Besides, food is no longer a problem. At worst, we can just borrow some or sell everything we have!"

Qin Yun sneered in his heart, old bastard!

"Hmph, after all this talk, do you still want to force me?"

"Ok?"

He feigned anger and glared at her in question.

Li Mi was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "No, Your Majesty, we are here to help you solve your problems."

"Poor families cannot compare to aristocratic families, this is a fact!"

"As long as you are willing to give up the corrupt officials in the court and make use of my aristocratic family, everything will be fine, just like when Emperor Gaozu conquered the vast empire!"

"As for the gentleman's agreement, it is directly invalidated. When Xiliang rebels, the aristocratic families will help you fight, but in front of outsiders, we will claim that it is your majesty who is in command."

"This will also save your face."

Qin Yun smiled coldly. Could these damn things from the aristocratic families be so kind?

First he was involved in the trafficking of ironware and smuggled salt, and now he is suspected of leaking news of important military and national affairs.

Really, he deserves to die!

"no!"

Qin Yun stood up, his face determined.

"Humph, I warn you, don't spread rumors to confuse the public!"

"The bet between you and me has not ended yet!"

"Just wait and see, it won't be long before I capture Pancheng!"

Li Mi sneered, but lowered his head and remained expressionless: "Really? Your Majesty?"

"You and I, the king and the subject, why do we have to fight over this?"

"That's right!" Many ministers spoke in a buzzing voice, acting in unison.

Qin Yun was furious on purpose: "Get lost!"

"Get out of here before I lose my temper!"

"I will make one last effort and will definitely capture Pancheng."

Li Mi's eyes were gloomy. He stopped the officials behind him from continuing to press for advice, and even did not carry out the originally planned means of public opinion, forcing the emperor to abdicate, etc.

"In that case, I will leave!"

He led the way in bowing and then stepped back.

The thirty-two officials came and went quickly.

Watching everyone leave, Qin Yun curled up a sneer on his face.

When Li Mi led many officials from the aristocratic families to the outside of Xuanwu Gate.

Finally someone couldn't help it: "Shen Guogong, why don't you continue to force the remonstrance?"

"Yes, if we insist, His Majesty will compromise. Yan and Mu did not achieve any results, but instead wasted money and manpower!"

Li Mi looked at everyone and said calmly, "Why are you panicking?"

Then he showed a sly smile.

"Since Your Majesty wants to launch a general attack on Xiliang Pancheng in three days."

"Then why don't we just prevent him from succeeding? With food shortage, he will have to retreat after this battle!"

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Hearing this, the other ministers nodded secretly.

But some people also raised doubts and whispered: "But...but what if it's fake?"

"What's fake?"

Li Mi looked at him displeasedly and said contemptuously: "Your Majesty is short of food, is this true?"

"Besides..." He looked around and said cryptically, "Besides, it won't hurt anything if Xiliang mobilizes more troops to Pancheng."

"As long as Your Majesty returns empty-handed, we will be successful."

Everyone nodded slowly.

"Then tell the Wang family and let them notify them."

"..."

Royal study room.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I have to go back to Jiangbei."

Xiang Shengnan found Qin Yun and said.

He put down the file in his hand, stood up and frowned, "Does it have to be now?"

She nodded slightly: "To be honest, my father has given me an ultimatum several times, saying that if I don't go back, he will no longer want me as his daughter."

Qin Yun pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's true. Your father must be worried about his daughter being away for so long."

next second.

Then he changed the subject: "How about this, you stay in the palace tonight, and I will send someone to take you away tomorrow."

Xiang Shengnan was stunned.

I originally thought he was considerate, but the next thing he said was that he wanted a young girl like her to stay overnight. What kind of thing was that?

Her beautiful eyes were slightly alert as she recalled what Tong Wei had said today.

See this.

Qin Yun smiled bitterly: "Don't misunderstand."

"I want to thank you and treat you to a full banquet in Weiyang Palace."

"Secretly transporting grain to Xiliang is such a big and difficult task, and you did it for me without saying a word."

"I sincerely want you to stay and have a meal."

Xiang Shengnan's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at him a few more times, feeling sideways at his warmth and casualness.

Emperor, can you be so down-to-earth?

Seeing her hesitate.

Qin Yun made the decision directly and glared deliberately: "It's decided, you are not allowed to leave!"

"Otherwise, you will be charged with the crime of disobeying an imperial order!"

Xiang Shengnan couldn't help but curl up her red lips under the veil.

Not saying anything was considered as a consent.

Your Majesty, it's quite cute...

……

That night.

The top leaders of the aristocratic families were mobilized quickly.

Qin Yun's plan must be leaked to Wang Min, so that she can defend Pancheng to the death. After a few days, the mission will be accomplished.

Simultaneously.

Xiao Jian has already set off!

Without hiding anything, he led the 30,000 troops stationed in Tongguan and rushed to the battlefield in Xiliang.

Naturally, thirty thousand people leaving the imperial capital could not be hidden from the eyes of the aristocratic families.

On the official road, there were men in black watching.

Said softly in the dark.

"The situation in Xiliang is becoming increasingly difficult. The emperor is running out of food and is powerless to save the situation."

"Send Xiao Jian to Xiliang to put out the fire urgently. He should command the army and make a final stand!"

"Quick, send the message back!"

The moon rises above the branches, and the night is deep.

Inside the palace, Qin Yun and Xiang Shengnan had already finished their meal at the Weiyang Palace, a full Manchu and Han banquet, which was a reception of the highest standard!

She has helped so much and deserves Qin Yun's courtesy.

He even personally sent her to live in an attic in a corner of the palace.

"Your Majesty, please go back."

"I'll go in and rest. Thank you for your hospitality today." Xiang Shengnan was a little embarrassed and her eyes were evasive.

This was the first time in her life that she had chatted with a man under the moon at night.

She reached out to close the door, and her resistance to Qin Yun was evident on her face.

Seeing this, Qin Yun frowned: "Why are you so afraid of me?"

"Do you really think I'm that kind of demon?"

Xiang Shengnan's long eyelashes fluttered, her eyes slightly nervous, and she explained, "No..."

"Your Majesty is a hero. Even if he has some flaws, that's human nature."

Qin Yun was speechless...

After all, I still don't trust myself.

Although I don't have that kind of thought towards her, it's still a bit wrong.

But what he didn't know was that Xiang Shengnan resisted his approach because of her ugly face and felt inferior.

Once you go one step further.

What about that face?

This was something she was unwilling to reveal to others, especially Qin Yun!

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Qin Yun smiled slightly and took the initiative to close the door for her.

At that moment, I accidentally touched her hand, which was soft and cold, and the touch was extreme!

Xiang Shengnan felt as if she had been electrocuted and quickly pulled back.

Qin Yun was amused by her reaction and teased, "Shengnan, your hands are so white and delicate, like mutton-fat jade."

In the dead of night, a man and a woman were alone, and talking like this made Xiang Shengnan's brows frown quickly.

He hid his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please respect yourself."
