The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 581: Princess Jiaoyang scolded the courtiers

Chapter 581 Princess Jiaoyang scolds the courtiers

The magnificent Fengtian Hall.

Significant and solemn, yet beautiful.

On the nine-dragon gold lacquer throne, the emperor sat upright.

There is a stool on each side of him, with brother and sister Du Qian and Du Wan sitting respectively.

Pei Hao had a sword hanging on his waist and stood at the position of the commander of the Imperial Guard, while Mu Si'an had already merged into the ranks of the military attachs below.

Since it was reported that the emperor was ill, Du Qian took over the affairs of the court. This was the first time that the emperor went to court.

The emperor's expression was not good, but his aura remained the same, "You must have heard about the rebellion of the Wei family in the northwest. You may have heard of it. If you have any suggestions, feel free to mention them. We must discuss a result in the morning meeting."

The courtiers below were as quiet as chickens.

After waiting for a long time, no one stood up and spoke.

The emperor had actually expected that these people would only stand up to obstruct him when he wanted to do something, and even quoted scriptures as if they were the correct attitude. If he agrees to send troops today, they will jump out and oppose it. If he said he couldn't send troops, they would object.

In short, these people are just nitpicking.

The emperor's face became gloomy again and he spoke, "Since no one has come forward, I ask you, should we send troops or not? Don't pretend to be dumb at this moment. Aren't you quite capable of speaking on weekdays?"

After a long while, someone finally stepped out, it was the Duke of Zhen Guo, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the national prestige and face of the Qin Dynasty, I support sending troops to attack the Wei Wei."

"Your Majesty, I am opposed to sending troops." The one who stood up this time was the Minister of War.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War said sternly: "Sending troops is extremely laborious for the people and money. There have been several natural disasters in a row, and it is now difficult for the people to even eat. If we fight again, it will undoubtedly make things worse. The most important point is that we can't get enough food and grass. Therefore, Wei Chen feels that we should send people Go to recruit people and persuade them to surrender."

No one dares to say that this is wrong.

Everyone knows that Da Qin is currently short of food.

If the emperor insists on sending troops, weapons and raising food and grass, it will fall on the head of the Minister of War. In fact, some people understand the reasons for Ma Shangshu's opposition.

At this time, some ministers stood up and agreed with the Minister of War.

Mu Si'an also stood up and supported the Duke of Zhen in sending troops.

Sure enough, some people agree and others oppose it. You dont have to think about the next thing. No matter how much you argue, there will be no result. The emperor had attended many court meetings, so he naturally knew the urinary nature of these ministers.

In that case, lets go to Master Ma.

A woman's clear voice sounded in the court hall, "Your Majesty, I agree that Shangshu Ma will personally go to the northwest to persuade the Wei family to surrender. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, and there will be no need to waste soldiers or waste money."

Emperor: Is Wanwan telling the truth?

Du Qian:

What is my sister mixing in at this time? Let them quarrel again.

Pei Hao wiped the cold sweat from his wife. Her words undoubtedly offended the Minister of War. You must know that some ministers will only make various suggestions to the government. The person who implements them is often not themselves, and they will not be involved in dangerous matters, but most of the credit will fall on their heads.

The civil and military officials below all raised their heads and glanced at Du Wan who was sitting above.

Du Wan sat firmly and had a correct attitude.

Actually, she didn't want to get involved. She really didn't want to. She just saw that the emperor seemed to be very angry. If she didn't say anything, would he be so angry that he vomited blood again? This is too harmful.

Early before going to court, Du Wan knew that the emperor's health had not yet improved, so he did not agree with him taking charge of the overall situation.

Because the faces of some ministers are really unacceptable.

Either you are angry, or you are still angry. The more he cares, the more angry he will be. When Du Wan was looking for entertainment gossip headlines last year, he had already seen through some of the courtiers.

Most people are very selfish, and the most important thing is always family interests.

The interests of the country are just lip service and a means for some people to pursue interests.

In fact, they have never considered the interests of the country. They don't care much about whether the Qin Kingdom is destroyed or not. What they care most about is how to protect their own interests, how to benefit their family, and how to survive social turmoil. .

When the new dynasty was established, they thought about how to gain a foothold in the new dynasty and so on.

Du Wan did not mean to despise them, because both Du and Pei had similar ideas. Perhaps this concept is a universal thought. For example, in the era when she grew up, it was about the country.

The bureaucrats here are accustomed to talking about their family and country.

Home country, home country!

Home first, then country.

But when some people speak, they are often very beautiful.

What is the waste of people and money, and what is selfless?

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.

Fooling! It's all a big lie.

Du Wan looked at the Minister of War with cold eyes and snorted coldly, "Some people are really so responsible. They go to court every day to oppose this and that. They talk about a lot of great principles and encounter dangerous tasks. , but escaped faster than anyone else. Hey, look at it, everyone is covered in fat, and they are still shouting about worrying about the country and the people?"

"I would like to ask, how do you care about the country and the people?"

So what, Ill make you fat and fat, and the common people outside will be as big as two.

It can be seen that there must be a lot of food in the house.

Its over!

So much has been said before, you can ignore it.

This last one is the key point, focus on it.

Then, and more importantly, Du Wan made a grand guess, "There is such a shortage of food in the market, so it's not like you are hoarding food privately."

As soon as these words came out.

Some of the civil and military officials below, especially the fat officials, all turned pale with fright. The offensiveness of the princess's words can be said to be indistinguishable.

"No!" Someone knelt down in fear and clarified, "Weichen is definitely not! He just gained a little weight, and the doctor said it was a result of obesity. It has nothing to do with whether he eats well or not."

"Wei Chen swears to God that I will never hoard food in private... The doctor said that I have a body that makes me gain weight even if I drink water."

The humble minister dares to use his head as a guarantee...

One by one, they knelt down to express their loyalty, giving various explanations and even the most bizarre excuses.

Just now we were all chattering and discussing the issue of the northwest rebels.

This time its better, the style of painting has changed.

Just because Princess Jiaoyang said a few words, especially the excuses those people made, the emperor almost became angry.

Du Qian next to him raised his sleeves and coughed silently from time to time, just to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Its quite interesting. My sister should go to court more often! Seeing how she treated the courtiers, no, no, she scolded them so hard that they didn't even dare to say a word. Although the scolding is a bit of a generalization, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
