Chapter 73

The sun slanted in and shone on half of his face, casting pale golden light on his white jade face.His handsome and flawless resolute face is half elegant in the sun and half deep in the shadows.

Wan Chengxiao suddenly couldn't say what he was about to blurt out.

Her eyes flickered on and off, and finally she sat back slowly, took a cup of tea and drank tea, and her voice calmed down: "I hope the emperor will remember what you said today."

There was a smile on Qin Xian's face.Very light and beautiful.After all, Wan Chengxiao understood him.Because I cared about him, I spoke out to stop him; because I understood his difficulties, I let him go.In Qin Xian's current situation, he couldn't help hesitant.The sooner you act, the more proactive you will be.

"The invasion of Rouran in winter and the flooding of the Huaihe River in summer are actually not a dilemma of choosing one or the other. In the final analysis, it is a problem of the lack of strength of our Great Qin. If I have millions of soldiers as fierce as the Taizu Emperor, why should I be afraid of that?" Rouran barbarian; if I had the prosperity of Jingchen, the emperor of the ancestors, why would I worry about not having enough human and financial resources to prevent floods. In the final analysis, it is just a matter of the decline of the Great Qin Dynasty and the foundation of national power has not yet been restored. I have been in power for two years, It is also impossible to create a prosperous world immediately from a broken shell. However, Daqin is improving bit by bit. The current situation is just a problem that will inevitably be encountered in the transition from decline to prosperity. The national strength is insufficient and there are many incidents There will be many more in the future. However, if we have sufficient execution capabilities, we can take vigorous and effective measures to deal with the past smoothly until the prosperity comes and the dawn rises."

In the imperial study room, Qin Xian was wearing a purple gold crown and a golden dragon robe, standing behind the imperial case with his hands behind his back, facing Hu Qingying below.

"So the emperor wants to carry out a vigorous and effective personal conquest, betting on his own safety?" Hu Qingying asked with burning eyes.Qin Xian has a royal air, and he has a whole body of righteousness, standing in front of Qin Xian's questioning momentum is not too much.

Hu Qingying is different from Wan Qixiao.In some respects, Wan Chengxiao is the same kind of person as Qin Xian. When they are forced to retreat, they can decisively cut off their retreat and make a desperate gamble at the cost of their lives and everything, or come back, or die .So although Wan Qixiao is concerned about Qin Xian's safety, she can understand and accept Qin Xian's gamble choice.But Hu Qingying couldn't.He is a person who puts emphasis on stability, and the emperor's life and death must not be taken lightly. As long as there is room for things to return, he absolutely does not agree with this kind of gambler's approach.

"Why does the emperor have to go on a personal expedition? There are no people in the Great Qin Dynasty. Qin Chenyong, Wang Yi'an, and Guo Qinghong are all fierce generals. It is enough to lead 30 troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Why does the emperor have to go on a personal conquest, put them to death and live!" Hu Qingying disagree.Sending Qin Chenyong can also win. Although it will definitely take longer and the process will be more difficult, it will definitely not be as effective as Qin Xianyu's personal conquest, but the king must not be allowed to take the risk of going into battle.Qin Xian is responsible for the huge country of Daqin on his own body. This risk is too great and too unstable!Even if the results are remarkable and the income is considerable, in the end there is more luck involved.

Therefore, Hu Qingying strongly disapproved of Qin Xian's approach.

Qin Xian sighed, went to Hu Qingying and supported him by the shoulders, and said seriously: "Qingying, in fact, you and I both know it in our hearts, so why pretend not to know. Xia Xun has to start digging rivers and repairing embankments for at most a month, and then we can go back to work." It's too late... I don't have so much time to procrastinate on the battlefield, so I have to make a quick decision. And my imperial conquest is the best medicine, which can boost morale and defeat the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. If you continue to procrastinate, If you can't do well on both sides, it will drag down Daqin's already weak national strength. Daqin can't stand another toss. So this winter and summer, I have to let it pass safely! So, Qingying, you You have to believe in me. In three years, at most three years, I will definitely be able to create a prosperous Qin Dynasty!"

Hu Qingying lowered her eyelids, silent.

After a long time, he raised his head, and a helpless wry smile appeared on his usually upright and rigid face: "Qing Ying is powerless to reverse the emperor's decision."

He sighed, and then changed the subject: "Is the emperor trustworthy?"

"Yes. I am the Son of Heaven, how can I not believe in the destiny?" Qin Xian answered without hesitation.In fact, if one really understood Qin Xian, one would not believe his nonsense.Qin Xian is not a person who believes in fate.If he really believed in fate, he would not have lived through so many bloody storms alive, and would have died under someone's plot long ago.He never believed in himself.

And Hu Qingying is obviously one of the very few people who understand Qin Xian.He sighed softly: "The emperor will invite the minister to sit in the position of Daqin Zuoxiang. Presumably, he also knows a little about the names of the minister outside. With the ability of the emperor, he should also know that although the minister is a Legalist, he is also a little It is a matter of understanding yin and yang academics." When an emperor employs people, he must check the details in advance, this is an unspoken rule.

Qin Xian didn't deny it either, and nodded immediately: "I heard that Qingying used to practice with Huoyangzi, a famous yin and yang master in Chu State, for a while. Why, Qingying wants to show me his face?"

"Your Majesty!" Hu Qingying was frustrated, "You know that the Yin Yang family is not a street fortune teller."

After a pause, seeing Qin Xian's serious face, Hu Qingying continued seriously: "Your Majesty, it's one thing that Qingying stopped you this time to prevent you from taking the lead, and another thing is that Qingying watched the stars last night. , I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the imperial city. It is very inappropriate for you to leave the palace at this time. When the imperial capital is in turmoil but no one is in charge, and the backyard is on fire, you will be attacked by the enemy on the front line, which is even more dangerous. If the political situation changes If so, the entire Qin Dynasty will suffer and fall into dire straits, how can it be compared with the tens of thousands of people in the northern border and the Huaijiang River? So, please think twice, the emperor must put the overall situation first!"

Qin Xian fell silent.As if thinking of something, his eyes suddenly flashed sinister.Hu Qingying was startled by such a ferocious hostility.The Taoist emperor is ruthless and cruel, and today he finally saw it.

Qin Xian finally waved his hand: "You go back first. I will give you the answer tomorrow."

Hu Qingying exited the imperial study.Qin Xian let out a long sigh, and stood by the bed with his hands behind his back, looking at the sunset outside the window, his eyes were deep and gloomy.

In the end, Qin Xian went to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

On the day of the expedition, the clouds were high and the air was clear, the sky was clear, the flags were flying in the wind, and the yellow banners were thousands of miles away, covering the sky and the sun.Hu Qingying took civil and military officials all the way to see each other for 99 miles, and finally set up an incense table, set up an incense altar, bid farewell to the emperor, toasted, swore, and sprinkled wine all over the world.All of a sudden, the wind was raging, and the 28-mile mountain was full of wind and clouds were flying.
