“Very well.”
“Do any of you have a solution to break this impasse?”
As Qin Zheng’s words fell, the faces of the civil and military officials in the court all froze.
“This...”
After a long silence, no one stepped forward.
After all, in their eyes, this was a completely unsolvable situation, impossible to crack.
Reckoning?
The Great Qin Dynasty’s current foundation, they didn’t know, but how could they not know?
Except for General Gao Shun and his elite Formation Battalions.
Where could the Great Qin now produce any elite troops to settle the karma of this battle?
Of course.
This was also the reason why Qin Zheng did not reveal the emergence of the 70 million Golden Fire Cavalry.
After all, the Great Qin today.
Was a mixed bag, even he did not know.
Among the civil and military officials, whether there were any who had become spies for his enemies.
It was precisely because of this.
That Qin Zheng had previously spent 500,000 kill points to summon the Black Ice Platform.
Intending to carry out a thorough investigation.
“Your Majesty.”
When the entire court was silent.
Xu Shu stepped forward, and amidst the bewildered expressions of the others, he respectfully reported: “This minister believes that the karma of the Heavenly Gate Pass battle, our Dynasty must settle it.”
“No.”
However, as soon as his voice fell.
A minister stepped forward and loudly objected: “Your Majesty, our Dynasty’s current foundation is insufficient even for self-preservation, if we send troops to settle the karma of this battle, wouldn’t it be like exposing our own weakness, letting others see through our Dynasty’s true strength, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“That’s right.”
“This minister agrees, we cannot send troops.”
“Right now, the only troops our Dynasty can fight with, aside from the Formation Battalions, are only a few million elite troops, how can we fight?”
“Instead, we should take advantage of the fact that the five major transcendental forces are apprehensive and dare not act rashly, to recuperate and restore our foundation as quickly as possible, and then talk about anything else.”
For a moment, the voices of opposition.
Rang out in the court.
However, with the voices of opposition, there were also those who believed that with the Great Qin’s current situation.
Taking the initiative to attack, gambling for a chance of survival.
Was more hopeful than doing nothing at all.
“Humph!”
With a cold snort.
From the side of the generals, a general who had stepped into the Great Saint Realm under the nourishment of fortune stepped forward.
His voice like thunder: “If we do not fight, wouldn’t everyone in the Xuan Domain know that our Dynasty has no more foundation to support it, how can this be?”
This general was burly, with a fierce aura.
His eyes wide with anger, he startled the dissenting ministers into silence.
“Cowards.”
Seeing this.
The general sneered, taking a large step forward, he respectfully requested a battle: “Your Majesty, this subordinate requests to go into battle.”
“This subordinate requests to go into battle.”
As his request for battle fell.
On the side of the generals, several more generals stepped forward, their auras equally fierce.
The overwhelming battle intent surged, reaching straight up to the heavens.
“No.”
“You brutes, all you know is to fight and kill, do you know how dangerous this is?”
“Sending troops, it’s easy to say.”
“Old man asks you, who should we fight after sending troops?”
“How do we fight?”
“What if the battle fails, what are the consequences?”
In the face of the numerous generals’ pleas to fight, on the side of the civil officials, the Minister of the Household coldly stepped forward.
With a series of questions.
He made the faces of the several generals turn ashen, speechless, their eyes blazing at him in anger.
“Enough.”
Just as the Minister of the Household was sneering and about to say something else, Qin Zheng’s cold snort.
Caused him to choke on his words, he retreated in fear.
“Xu Shu, you tell me.”
Qin Zheng coldly glanced at the dissenting ministers, then fixed his gaze on Xu Shu, saying: “If we send troops to settle the karma of the Heavenly Gate Pass battle, how should we fight, who should we fight first.”
And those ministers.
Under Qin Zheng’s sharp gaze, even if they still wanted to advise, they dared not speak anymore.
“Yes.”
Xu Shu, upon hearing this.
First, he glanced at the dissenting ministers, then slowly said: “This minister believes that if we send troops, our Dynasty’s first target cannot be the three major dynasties.”
These words, caused all the civil and military officials in the court.
To frown together.
Don’t attack the three major dynasties, who else should we attack?
Could it be that we should attack the two major sacred lands?
Doesn’t this person know.
That the two major sacred lands are very far from the Great Qin, at the speed of an army’s march.
It would take three to five months.
They wouldn’t even be able to see the faces of the two major sacred lands, how could they fight?
“Attacking dynasties.”
“Involves hundreds of millions of troops, attacking cities and seizing territories, it is not something that can be achieved overnight.”
“If we attack the dynasties, our Dynasty’s elite troops will not only be tied down, but if there are no results for a long time, others will see that our Dynasty has insufficient foundation, thus creating trouble.”
“And the two major sacred lands, although far away.”
“But if we operate properly, with General Meng Tian leading a crack force, within three days, we will surely be able to pacify one major sacred land, displaying the might of our Great Qin Dynasty.”
After hearing this, the civil and military officials in the court.
Again showed a trace of confusion, as well as some mockery of Xu Shu’s words.
However.
Before the civil and military officials could question.
Xu Shu smiled: “This minister had a lucky encounter many years ago, and accidentally obtained a flying boat, which can travel through space, its speed is not inferior to that of a Great Saint Realm cultivator.”
‘Buzz!’
As he spoke, Xu Shu’s hand manifested a flying boat.
As soon as the flying boat manifested, it emitted an aura comparable to an Emperor Artifact.
A wisp of ethereal Emperor’s might.
Emerged from the flying boat, startling the entire court, shocking them to the core.
“Hiss...”
“Is this an Emperor Artifact?”
“No, it hasn’t reached the level of an Emperor Artifact, but it’s not far off, it can be considered a semi-Emperor Artifact.”
“Sir Xu is fortunate.”
Seeing that this flying boat was actually a semi-Emperor Artifact.
The questioning and mockery in the eyes of the civil and military officials disappeared in an instant, replaced by a profound shock, they looked at Xu Shu with disbelief.
“Today.”
“This minister will present this flying boat to Your Majesty.”
Seeing the civil and military officials in the court, who were in a state of shock, Xu Shu immediately presented the flying boat in his hand.
Of course.
This flying boat was naturally not a lucky encounter for him, but was purchased by Qin Zheng for a million kill points.
From the system.
The reason for staging this play, was to allow Xu Shu’s position in the court.
To quickly solidify and rise.
To prepare for the upcoming battles, to prevent anyone.
Daring to oppose Xu Shu’s decisions, secretly opposing him in public.
“Good!”
After Xu Shu presented the flying boat.
Qin Zheng casually said good, his eyes narrowed slightly, he said: “From today onwards, Xu Shu is promoted to the rank of Marquis Wen, with a reward of 100 ninth-grade pills, one sacred herb, and 100 beautiful women.”
Marquis Wen, was a county marquis.
Ranked third class.
Although only third class, it was a symbol of status and prestige, more importantly, it was hereditary.
This time.
The looks of the civil and military officials towards Xu Shu were once again filled with intense envy.
The Great Qin Dynasty today.
There were only a few marquis.
First, there was Grand Marshal Fu Ling, and second, there was Prime Minister Feng Qing Heng.
Fu Ling, was the Duke of Wu.
Ranked first class.
He was granted the title during the Great Qin’s heyday more than a hundred years ago, and it had been passed down to this day without any changes.
While Feng Qing Heng was like Xu Shu, both were county marquis.
