The First Tyrant of Daxia

Late at night.

The twelve Yanyun generals under King Shunxun, commanding a hundred thousand cavalry, set out at dawn to chase after Qin Yun's troops.

Such a big event naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.

Outside the palace, a large number of high-ranking officials from Youzhou gathered.

"Your Majesty, why are you mobilizing troops so fast?"

"It is said that the troops are heading for His Majesty who has left?"

"What are you going to do?!"

"It is taboo to mobilize so many troops without an imperial decree!"

"..."

The lobby is brightly lit.

The sound outside the door could be heard clearly.

Qin Ci sat on the chair, holding a cold teacup in his hand, without saying a word.

Those eyes were as cold as water, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as an aide appeared. He was thin, shrewd, steady and experienced.

He frowned and said, "My Lord, forgive me for being blunt, but you are too impulsive in this matter."

"You can't trust everything the princess says."

"Withdraw the troops. There is still time."

Qin Ci glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Master Liu, I am not a fool. The princess just wants to take revenge on me."

"Nine out of ten times what she said was false."

"Otherwise, even if I owe her something, I will kill her for doing something like this."

Master Liu asked in confusion: "Why are you, Your Majesty?"

"Once these 100,000 troops are deployed, even if His Majesty trusts you, he will probably be suspicious of you in the future."

Qin Ci stood up, put his hands behind his back, and then sighed.

"Do you think the King wants to?"

"If this continues, the nine great clans will be suppressed forever. And Tang San has already revealed his true colors. He actually dared to sell ironware. You should know how serious this crime is, right?"

Master Liu’s face turned grim.

Qin Ci continued, "My brother said he must deal with Tang San to make an example of him."

"Let me ask you, if Tang San is killed, will the Tang family be far away? Will the nine major clans be far away?"

"By then, how many of my students, friends, relatives and friends will be able to survive?"

"Let's take a step back and say that if my brother loses the power struggle, or both sides suffer losses, wouldn't that be a disaster for Daxia?"

"The Xiongnu and the Turks have become powerful. They are by no means comparable to the nine tribes on the grassland. Daxia cannot withstand their turmoil!"

Master Liu finally understood and his brows relaxed.

He knew that for Qin Ci, the interests of Daxia were above everything else.

"Then, Your Majesty, by doing this, do you want to...?"

Qin Ci looked at him and said, "Although I hate some of the actions of the clans, we are one after all."

"In other words, I am the leader jointly nominated by the clans."

"In such a critical moment, how can I not stand out?"

"My brother is wrong. He made a big mistake. He shouldn't suppress the powerful families and promote the poor. In the long run, the country will decline."

"What I have to do is to resolve the conflict between them!"

Master Liu sighed deeply, clasped his hands and said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, please be careful. I am not as good as you."

"But are you really sure that such an extreme method can resolve the grudge between the two parties?"

"Your Majesty, you can regard the clan as another Xiliang Wang Min!"

Qin Ci smiled gently, and there was a kind of domineering and courage in his noble eyes and eyebrows that showed that no one else could match him!

He waved his python robe and said, "I have wanted to do this for a long time. This is the only way to make my brother give up."

"It's just that the princess incident suddenly happened, which gave me an opportunity. I might as well go with the flow and use the fact that they had an affair as an excuse to make my brother compromise."

"At worst I'll just suffer some gossip."

As he spoke, he frowned deeply and sighed.

"Actually, this is fine, Princess Situ. I owe her too much, so it's good to let her go in this way."

Master Liu’s faces were squeezed together and he took a step forward.

With an unpleasant expression, he said, "But, Your Majesty, if this happens, all the bad reputation will fall on your head!"

Qin Ci chuckled and shook his head, not caring at all.

"So what? I have been driven by my own destiny since I was a child."

"Today, Daxia is in chaos."

"Whether it's for the public good of Da Xia or for the private good of the large group of followers behind me, I need to do this."

“If I don’t go to hell, who will?”

Master Liu sighed heavily.

The lobby was so quiet that even breathing was clear.

Master Liu was unwilling to give up, and asked tentatively: "Is there no other solution?"

"Your Majesty, all nine clans support you, otherwise..."

Qin Ci looked at him unhappily: "What else?"

Master Liu said with a stiff upper lip: "Otherwise, please ask Your Majesty to step back and become the emperor!"

"In terms of talent and prestige, when have you ever lost?"

"For the prosperity and long-term stability of Daxia, it is totally worth it!"

Qin Ci sneered: "Master Liu, you care too much about me, so you overlook a lot of things."

"It is true that I do not submit to my brother and am very proud, but that does not mean I want to compete with him."

"What this king wants is the prosperity of Daxia and the balance of the national system, not the throne!"

"Do you think that when Princess Situ said these words, there was no trace of the Situ family?"

Upon hearing this, Master Liu's pupils shrank and his face turned shocked!

"The Situ clan instigated the princess to speak nonsense in order to harm you!"

Qin Ci sat back in his chair with a deep look in his eyes.

"It's not harmful. They just don't want me and my brother to be in the same boat."

"As long as I put pressure on my brother, I can make him give up the idea of ​​suppressing the noble families."

After saying this, he slapped his palm on the table and suddenly sighed: "The world's power is nothing more than balance!"

"This time, I will settle this matter with my brother."

"His philosophy of governing the country is wrong. It's just wrong!"

“Even if it means breaking up, I will eliminate all the factors that make Daxia unstable!”

"The aristocratic family cannot be destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, Master Liu was greatly shocked and remained silent for a long time.

I sighed in my heart, the prince is too sentimental!

Sandwiched between two giants, he put in all his efforts, all for the prosperity of Daxia.

But he never thought that he was the one who could dominate the world.

When you silently give so much, what you get in return may just be a stench.

Ugh……

Master Liu sighed.

But he knew that he could not persuade the opinionated Prince Shunxun.

I can only ask: "Then your Majesty, does your Majesty need me to do something for you?"

Qin Ci thought for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Go pick up Tang San, he's almost here."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists until the knuckles turned white.

"How dare this bastard sell ironware on a large scale without my knowledge!"

"I tolerated Wang Min's release last time, and I tolerated the smuggling of the heavy crossbow to Pancheng. But I can't tolerate it this time!"

"Humph!"

"I will control him when I receive him. I must show some sincerity when negotiating with my brother, otherwise the royal family and the imperial power will not be able to coexist!"

Master Liu nodded: "Your Highness, I understand."

"Then...Princess?" he asked tentatively.

Qin Ci frowned and said, "Lock her up first, don't let her commit suicide."

“Real and fake scandals are also blocked.”

"I don't want to harm her. She will leave the palace and get married in the future. She still has a long life ahead of her. It cannot be ruined like this."

I don't know why, but I heard this.

Master Liu, who was over 40 years old, had tears in his eyes. He was completely impressed by Qin Ci's demeanor. He knelt down with a plop, his forehead pressed against the ground, and did not get up for a long time.
