Chapter 981: He’s smiling (3)
Translator: 549690339
The officials in the hall began to discuss again, whispering to each other.
Did Yuan Xiong’s words make sense?
There was.
The purpose of this expedition was to restrain the Jing Kingdom and force them to retreat. As long as Wei Yuan destroyed the Yan Kingdom, besieged the city, and then destroyed the Kang Kingdom, who had come to rescue them, would the Jing Kingdom not retreat?
What Wei Yuan had already done was to besiege the fire country’s capital.
Or, wouldn’t it be better to directly launch a surprise attack on Jingguo?
However, he chose to attack Jingshan city and eventually died together with the witchcraft cult’s headquarters. This was unprecedented, but it also cost the Army.
Of the eighteen thousand remaining troops, most of them had retreated from the fire Country. The number of soldiers who had survived the battle at Jingshan city was less than five thousand.
No one believed that Wei Yuan wasn’t greedy.
Seeing that the time was right, the Minister of War, Qin Yuandao, stepped out and said in a deep voice,
“Your Majesty, this subject feels that imperial censor Yuan’s words are extremely true. Wei Yuan’s greed had not only cost the lives of 80000 soldiers, but he had also incurred the revenge of the witch God sect. If Xu Qi ‘an hadn’t happened to be in Yuyang pass, Xiangzhou would have been turned into a wasteland by now. The people would have been slaughtered in revenge, and the tragedy from forty years ago would have repeated itself.”
This … The officials of the Wei faction had a slight change in expression.
Qin Yuandao had actually used this matter to attack Lord Wei, and it was indeed true, so no one could refute it.
Once Yuyang pass fell and the people of Xiang province were killed, Duke of Wei would not have any credit for his actions.
Wang shoufu frowned as a strange feeling rose in his heart. The Yan and Kang
mngaom?s attacK on yuyang pass was simply pavmg me way ror His maJescy to kill Wei Yuan.
It wasn’t just for the sake of a reputation. There must be some hidden story behind it. Or perhaps, killing Wei Yuan’s achievements was only one of the goals … Chief advisor Wang’s heart sank. He stepped out of the ranks and said,
“To tell you the truth, I’ve already met Xu Qi ‘an. He told me that I went to
Yuyang pass on Wei Yuan’s request. Wei Yuan knew that the witch God religion would definitely take revenge, so he had a backup plan.” Beautiful!
The eyes of Zhang xingying and the others lit up.
Qin Yuandao had used Xu Qi ‘an’s achievements to attack the Lord of Wei, and chief advisor Wang’s move was equivalent to taking drastic measures.
This was something that could not be verified, because regardless of whether it was true or not, Xu Qi ‘an would definitely stand on the side of Lord Wei.
The older the ginger, the spicier it was.
Yuan Xiong retorted, “since you’ve already predicted the witch God religion’s revenge, why didn’t you inform the Imperial court? why did you entrust this task to an outsider?” Lord Prime Minister, do you think His Majesty is a three-year-old child who can be fooled at will?”
Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao’s lackeys all agreed with this right imperial censor’s opinion.
The three parties were in a heated argument.
At this moment, a Junwang from the Imperial clan stepped forward and said with a choked voice, ‘
“Your Majesty, Wei Yuan’s greed has led to great Feng’s losses. Even the demon barbarians didn’t suffer as much as us. Were they helping the demon barbarians? This was a self-weakening national power. Although Jingshan city has fallen, how can we, Da Feng, win?
“I’m afraid that the demon barbarians are overjoyed now. They’re just sitting back and reaping the benefits. What would happen if they invade the Chu Prefecture’s border again next year?”
The meaning of this regional King was very simple. Although Jingshan city had been taken down, Da Feng had already lost in terms of strategy.
Wei Yuan deserved to die!
A few more noble family members stepped out to support the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Yuandao, and the Imperial censor of the right, Yuan
Xiong.
“Alright, I’m done!”
Emperor yuanjing looked sad and said in a deep voice, “”Wei Yuan is my trusted aide and has accompanied me for more than twenty years. I am deeply saddened by his sacrifice for the country. We’ll discuss this matter tomorrow.” He immediately stood up and strode away.
With his back to the officials, Emperor Yuan jing’s lips slowly curved up.
He was smiling.
