Chapter 255 Isn’T This Guy A Flatterer? Why Are You Speaking In Human Language Today?
Qin Mu's words instantly silenced the entire court.
"Your Majesty, this..." Wang Xing opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to say.
This time, everyone was even more confused, with a string of questions swirling in their minds.
Your Majesty, are you serious?
The army has just gathered, and now you want to disband them. Isn't this a waste of effort?
And not only disband the army, but also replace them all with beautiful women?
What kind of operation is this?
The courtiers looked at each other, and one military general even couldn't help but touch his ear, as if suspecting that he had misheard.
They originally thought that Your Majesty would bring these concubines with him on the expedition, which was already absurd enough.
But until this moment, they realized that they had underestimated the extent of Your Majesty's absurdity!
Your Majesty not only brought the concubines, but also wanted to replace the entire army with beautiful women!
This is simply insane!
What the hell is he thinking?
Your Majesty, are you sure you're not joking with us?
The courtiers looked extremely strange, now seriously suspecting that Your Majesty had no intention of going on an expedition at all, but was using this as an excuse to go somewhere else for pleasure.
Otherwise, why would he bring so many concubines on the expedition and recruit another group of beautiful women as female soldiers?
"Cough... cough..."
The national teacher, Du Yulin, suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently, his face turning red, as if he was struggling to breathe.
The courtiers were startled by this.
"National teacher, are you alright?"
"National teacher, is your injury not healed?"
"National teacher, you must hold on! Great Qin cannot afford to lose you!"
"Yes, national teacher! Without you, who will make Your Majesty attend court in the future?"
The courtiers looked extremely anxious, afraid that Du Yulin might collapse.
"It's nothing."
Du Yulin waved his hand, slowly exhaling a breath, his expression becoming more serious.
"I just choked a bit, I'll be fine after resting for a moment."
Upon hearing this, the courtiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The national teacher must not die!
If he dies, who will make Your Majesty attend court?
After resting for a while and taking a few deep breaths, Du Yulin returned to normal.
Looking at Qin Mu, who stood with his hands behind his back, he sighed, his eyes filled with worry.
He could understand and even support Your Majesty's previous actions, including today's tardiness, and had spoken in defense of him.
But Your Majesty's command this time completely baffled him.
This is an expedition, not a game of house. How can such a childish statement be made?
And it's in front of everyone!
Has Your Majesty gone mad?
Taking a group of beautiful women to fight?
He has lived for so long and fought so many battles, but this is the first time he has heard of such an absurd thing!
Du Yulin couldn't help but cover his chest, feeling like he was suffocating.
"Your Majesty, an expedition is a matter of national security. It must not be taken lightly."
Finally, Du Yulin couldn't help but speak up and advise.
He had to remind Your Majesty that this battle was of utmost importance to him!
This war is a decisive battle that concerns the fate of Great Qin. We absolutely cannot lose!
Qin Mu turned around and glanced at him, his eyes showing no ripples.
"I know what I'm doing."
Du Yulin opened his mouth to speak but didn't know what to say.
"Never mind, never mind."
He sighed deeply and stepped aside.
"Your Majesty, I am ignorant. Are you suggesting that we replace our army with female soldiers?"
At this moment, Wang Xing blinked and asked tentatively.
Qin Mu nodded and said lightly,
"Yes, that's what I mean. Wang Aiqing, didn't you say that these armies have average combat power and are difficult to use? So after careful consideration, I have decided that it would be more useful to replace them all with beautiful women."
"After all, this expedition is long and lonely. What if I feel lonely on the way? If we replace the entire army with beautiful women, then I can both go on the expedition and alleviate my loneliness. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
As he said this, he scanned the courtiers and continued, "Any questions?"
Courtiers: ....
Any questions?
Of course, there are questions!
Big questions!
Transcendent-level questions!
Who takes a bunch of women to war?
"Hahaha!!" an old courtier burst into laughter, pointing at Qin Mu and said, "Your Majesty... you, you..."
He was stunned by Qin Mu's idea.
Such absurd words actually came out of the mouth of an emperor, it was truly unimaginable, it subverted the worldview!
Wang Xing also complained in his heart.
It was true that he said these armies were difficult to use, but it was just a modest statement.
The Great Qin's army was still very powerful. In many conventional battles, it may not be invincible, but at least it understood the true essence of combat better than many disciples of Sacred Land sects.
Without these armies, many things would not be able to proceed.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Xing decided to express his concerns, as this was a major issue related to the stability of the country.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, please think twice."
Wang Xing respectfully clasped his fists and sincerely said, "Please forgive me for daring to advise, but this expedition is a major war between the Heavenly River Domain and the Awakening Heaven Domain."
"If we lose, it means that Great Qin has failed."
"If Your Majesty wants to seek pleasure, I have no objections."
"But the expedition is a major national affair and cannot be taken lightly! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
Wang Xing's words surprised the courtiers, who looked at him in astonishment, completely unable to believe that such words came from his mouth.
Isn't this guy a flatterer?
Why is he suddenly speaking like a reasonable person today?
Moreover, what he said is quite reasonable, making them unable to help but praise him.
Even Du Yulin looked at Wang Xing with surprise, nodded slightly, and admired his gaze.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and looked around with interest.
"Oh? Are you trying to stop me?"
Wang Xing heard this and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I dare not, but I am loyal to the emperor and love my country. I earnestly request Your Majesty to reconsider."
Although he was a flatterer, he also understood the concept of "sharing glory and shame."
Disbanding the army before the expedition was a decision made by the emperor alone. If it led to defeat, who would bear the responsibility?
Although he believed in the emperor, his behavior this time was too absurd.
Therefore, even though Wang Xing was unwilling in his heart, he had to speak up.
Following Wang Xing's lead, other ministers also gathered their courage and knelt down to advise.
"Your Majesty, we have already prepared the army, and we only need your command. Now you suddenly announce the disbandment of the army, isn't it too hasty..."
A general said with a mournful face, cautiously.
"Your Majesty, do you know the impact it will have if all the soldiers are female soldiers?" Another old man pondered.
"Have you ever thought that if the common people and ordinary soldiers learn about this, it will definitely cause a huge uproar. By then, it may even affect this expedition."
"Your Majesty! Please think twice!" Several other ministers echoed, their faces full of worry.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Don't do something foolish!"
"Your Majesty, we all think that Lord Wang's proposal is in line with our intentions. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
