Volume 1, Chapter 148, Bai Qi's Choice

All the civil officials looked at each other, and then looked at the princes they supported, and found that they were winking at each other frantically.

Moreover, the people around had long been bewitched by the words of the Ninth Prince, and their hearts were floating.

If they did not take action now, it would be a foregone conclusion that the Ninth Prince would become the emperor of the Great Zhou!

So the civil officials stood up one after another and shouted to the enthusiastic people: "Just now, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince only talked about the strategy of maintaining the country!

But he did not say how to resist foreign enemies.

It is better for everyone not to make a decision first!"

The civil officials shouted, and the people calmed down immediately.

Especially the soldiers in the rear.

Reform is certainly important, but how to resist foreign enemies is more important!

Although the previous emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was said to be incompetent and unjust, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was basically carried out step by step, and all the rules and regulations were agreed upon before.

He did not have the courage to make changes, nor did he carry out large-scale destruction.

Because the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not attend court if he could, and he did not have the ability to destroy it if he wanted to.

But the main reason why the Great Zhou Emperor was despised by the world was because of the way the Great Zhou Emperor treated foreign enemies, which made everyone feel disgusted!

Yue Marshal, the God of Spears, was about to destroy Beiliang, but the Great Zhou Emperor actually framed him on the battlefield.

Yang Wudi, the Invincible Marshal, fought the Huns in the northwest, and was captured and imprisoned by the Great Zhou Emperor!

It can be said that one by one, all the soldiers and the people were chilled.

Now they finally have the right to elect the emperor, of course they have to listen carefully, this emperor is a genius, or a big straw bag!

"Please tell me about the strategy to resist foreign enemies, Your Highness!"

Many soldiers shouted.

If the current Ninth Prince is still the same as the previous Great Zhou Emperor, such an emperor is better off not having one!

When the people saw the soldiers shouting like this, they did not rush to make a choice.

The generals also looked at the Ninth Prince with fiery eyes.

Of course, they hope that the new Great Zhou Emperor can be said to be a generation of saints in terms of civil and military affairs, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty can achieve national prosperity and people's strength.

"Damn it!" Princess Anyang cursed in her heart, knowing that there were few good civil officials!

The Ninth Prince was so anxious that he was sweating and couldn't help looking at Bai Qi. Bai Qi didn't care. What he wanted to choose now was the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He would not choose according to the closeness or distance, but only according to the ability!

If the Ninth Prince had no ability, what was the use of coming?

He didn't need a puppet! He

didn't want the future Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be a puppet again!

So, Bai Qi gave the Ninth Prince a look that said "you can play freely". Bai Qi also wanted to see what the Ninth Prince was like. When

the Ninth Prince saw that Bai Qi didn't help him, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he quickly covered it up.

Then he looked at the third priest, but saw that the third priest was even more arrogant.

In the end, he could only look at Princess Anyang for help. Princess Anyang kept coughing, giving the Ninth Prince a hint.

Let him quickly recall the conversation between the two.

The Ninth Prince kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, recalling everything Princess Anyang had said to him. Finally, his eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"The Great Zhou should suppress the four barbarians!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the civil officials sneered, and someone said impatiently, "Your Highness, what you said is the same as if you didn't say anything!

Who doesn't want to unify the world, who doesn't want to suppress the four barbarians?

But does the Great Zhou have the strength to do it now?"

This sentence made the Ninth Prince speechless.

At this time, General Cao Changqiu also felt that the Ninth Prince had no plans of his own, and didn't want to hear some empty slogans, so he tested him with practical problems and asked,

"Your Highness, let's not do those empty things. I will ask you one question. After Bai Qi defeated the Huns, he captured two Hun Khans.

If according to Your Highness, what is our Great Zhou's policy towards the Huns, is it war or peace?

How should these two Hun Khans be dealt with?"

When the general asked this, the civil officials' eyes lit up, and this was the key point!

You can't just shout some slogans to get by, right?

The soldiers stretched their necks, waiting for the Ninth Prince's answer.

The Ninth Prince glanced at Princess Anyang, and seeing that his sister gave him an encouraging look, he could only bite the bullet and said, "

I think that the two Huns captured by Grand Marshal Bai Qi should all be released back to the grassland!

After they are released back to the grassland, they must be funded with food, fodder, and soldiers, so that they can make a comeback!"

What! ?

As soon as the Ninth Prince finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Several princes around him looked at the Ninth Prince with idiotic eyes.

I wondered if this guy had just been kicked in the head by a horse?

You are actually going to release the Huns Khan who Bai Qi had captured from the grassland with great effort?

Not only do you have to release him, but you also have to give them food, fodder, and soldiers!

Originally, they thought that the Ninth Prince would be their biggest enemy, but now they feel that the Ninth Prince is the biggest joke among them!

Some princes even laughed out loud, and they were about to celebrate on the spot.

The people below were angry. They liked the Ninth Prince so much, but now they were disgusted with him:

"It turns out to be another weakling!"

"This Ninth Prince looks heroic, but how can he speak so weakly!"

"It's over! What's the difference between this and the Emperor of the Great Zhou?"

"The Emperor of the Great Zhou fought a war with the Huns, but the Ninth Prince is even more cowardly than his father!"

More and more people were glad that they did not choose the Ninth Prince just now. This is knowing a person's face but not his heart!

You can't just listen to his one-sided words.

Many things must be asked clearly.

The soldiers in the rear were even more ashamed!

The contemptuous eyes were not concealed.

Many generals also shook their heads and couldn't help but praise the general. If it weren't for the general Cao Changqiu asking more questions, they would still think that the Ninth Prince is good!

Is this the result?

When the Ninth Prince saw the reaction below, his face changed drastically!

The fist under the sleeve was clenched tightly, and the nails were about to pinch into the flesh.

This was not his idea, this was the advice given to him by Princess Anyang!

He had thought this statement was ridiculous before, but in order to compete for the throne and to be different, he boldly said it.

But the result was that he was ridiculed by everyone!

Is he really going to lose?

The civil officials were very happy. What they least wanted was for the Ninth Prince to be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, the Ninth Prince was Princess Anyang's biological brother.

Now in the capital, who doesn't know the relationship between Princess Anyang and Bai Qi? If the Ninth Prince comes to power, then Bai Qi will be the biggest winner!

Now seeing that the Ninth Prince has made a mistake himself, of course they want to add insult to injury!

These civil officials immediately stood up and said loudly: "Dear fellow countrymen, all the soldiers present, you have heard what the Ninth Prince said!

I and others would like to ask: General Bai Qi, is the strategy of defending against the enemy that the Ninth Prince said nonsense?"

The Ninth Prince closed his eyes in pain at this moment, not wanting to hear anything more from Bai Qi.

He secretly hated himself. Why did he trust Princess Anyang so much?

Although his own sister is very powerful, it is impossible for her to be good at everything!

All eyes were on Bai Qi, and the civil officials looked confident of victory, but Bai Qi laughed out loud:

"I'm surprised that the Ninth Prince could say such a thing!

Anyone who says this is nonsense is a fool!

Why don't I kill the remaining two Khans of the Xiongnu, but take them captives?

I just want to let them go back one day!"
