Volume 1, Chapter 149: General Cao Changqiu Supports Bai Qi
Volume 1, Chapter 149 General Cao Changqiu supports Bai Qi
for what!?
Bai Qi's words shocked the people around him, and the civil officials and the common people showed a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
Even the soldiers stopped breathing, feeling as if they were listening to a heavenly book.
If Bai Qi was not the most respected general in their hearts, they would definitely curse at this moment!
The soldiers cast inquiring eyes at Bai Qi one by one, wondering why Bai Qi said that?
Is it because of Bai Qi's relationship with Princess Anyang?
Want to protect the Ninth Prince.
Or does Bai Qi really think so?
On the high platform, the Ninth Prince was full of astonishment. When he was ridiculed by the civil officials and the common people, he thought he had no chance of becoming the emperor.
Now Bai Qi actually supports him!
At this moment, he only had one feeling, that his sister must have had an affair with Bai Qi!
Sister, you are so amazing!
The Ninth Prince's face flushed with excitement, and he gave his sister a look that said so!
Princess Anyang shook her head secretly, what was she thinking?
It would be great if it was true.
But her heart was even more burning. She didn't expect that Bai Qi had the same idea as her!
Is this the legendary telepathic connection?
After being stunned, the other princes couldn't help but say, "What General Bai Qi said is simply unheard of!
The general traveled thousands of miles from the grassland to capture two Xiongnu Khans, but he wants to let them go and give them food and soldiers!
What kind of logic is this?
I have little education, General Bai Qi, don't lie to us!"
They spoke politely. After all, no one knew whether they would become the future emperor of the Great Zhou.
Although they are now of noble status and are high-ranking princes.
But if they can't compete for that position, their status in the court will not even be as good as that of a minister of the six ministries, and the new emperor will even treat them as fools!
At this moment, although there are doubts in their hearts, they still can't forget Bai Qi's fierce power!
But the civil officials were not so polite. They now raised reasonable doubts, staring at Bai Qi and sneering:
"Although we are civil officials, we don't know much about fighting!
But!
What General Bai Qi said is too incredible!
I just want to ask, how can this be a policy for the country?
This is simply a policy that will bring disaster to the country and the people!
Fellow villagers, do you think it's right?"
The civil officials roared down, and to be honest, they were so happy in their hearts!
Bai Qi is courting death.
You already have a very high status in the hearts of the people. As long as you don't make mistakes, the future emperors of the Great Zhou will respect you three points!
But you have to talk nonsense now, isn't this slapping yourself in the face!
Sure enough, the people soon started to discuss.
"Is General Bai Qi really fighting for the interests of his brother-in-law?"
"Don't talk nonsense, General Bai Qi is not that kind of person!"
"But the Ninth Prince is obviously talking nonsense, and General Bai Qi actually agrees with this statement!"
Many people actually support Bai Qi very much, but now Bai Qi's actions have caused them to have a trace of doubt in their hearts.
The most important thing is that they can't understand what Bai Qi said.
But the soldiers never questioned what Bai Qi said, they just kept silent and waited for explanation.
The three priests on the side were even more presumptuous. Seeing that Bai Qi might lose some of the people's hearts, he certainly wanted to add fuel to the fire.
"Bai Qi, this is the first time I have heard such a strange talk!
After catching the enemy, not only do you not execute him, but you also let him go?
If someone questions your statement, you actually say that others are stupid?
Are you going to call a deer a horse?"
The three priests looked at Bai Qi coldly. Although they couldn't do anything to Bai Qi today, they had to slap Bai Qi in the face!
Let Bai Qi know that you want to cover the sky with one hand, that's still a long way off!
Many generals also expressed their incomprehension, but they didn't say anything. They just wanted Bai Qi to give an explanation.
Bai Qi looked around and saw pairs of questioning eyes. He smiled and said loudly:
"Since so many people don't believe what I said! Why don't you ask Marshal Yang, Marshal Yue, and General Cao Changqiu to see how these commanders view this issue?" As soon as
Bai Qi finished speaking, everyone immediately focused their attention on these three people.
Yue Shenqiang's physical condition has improved a lot, and he has also seen the execution of the Great Zhou Emperor with his own eyes, and his resentment has also disappeared by more than half.
After hearing Bai Qi ask him, Marshal Yue said bluntly: "Bai Qi is right! Release the two Khans of the Xiongnu, and then give them troops and horses, so that they can return to the grassland, which is the best foreign policy of the Great Zhou!"
What! ?
The people were dumbfounded at once.
You must know that Marshal Yue's status in the hearts of the people is very high.
It can even be said that it is higher than Bai Qi. Bai Qi still gives people the impression of being overbearing and cold, which makes people feel superior.
But Marshal Yue was much closer, and Marshal Yue was persecuted by the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he did not think of resisting, which made the people feel that Marshal Yue had a noble character.
The faces of the civil officials changed, and some said sarcastically: "Bai Qi came back to the capital from afar to save Yue Shenqiang, so of course Marshal Yue had to speak for Bai Qi! We can understand! It's human nature!"
When he said this, although the people didn't like to hear it, they also felt that this was possible.
After all, anyone who received such a great favor from Bai Qi would think of repaying him.
Yang Wudi snorted coldly: "If so, if I say that Bai Qi's statement is not wrong at all, you will definitely not believe it?"
The crowd was in an uproar again.
Yang Wudi actually agreed with Bai Qi's statement!
At this time, the civil officials felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that Bai Qi was right?
But they would never believe Yang Wudi, as Yang Wudi himself said, Bai Qi was the closest to him!
The pupils of the third worshiper shrank, and he looked at the general Cao Changqiu who had been silent.
Before Bai Qi became the Grand Marshal,
the Great General Cao Changqiu was the leader of all the military generals!
His status among the civil officials was equivalent to that of the Prime Minister!
Moreover, there was no conflict of interest between Cao Changqiu and Bai Qi, and there was even a little contradiction. After all, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty appointed Bai Qi as the Grand Marshal and divided a part of the military power!
And this military power should have belonged to General Cao Changqiu.
So at this moment, all the civil and military officials turned their eyes to General Cao Changqiu. General Cao Changqiu looked around at everyone, especially at Yue Shenqiang and Yang Wudi, and then said loudly:
"Bai Qi, what you said is absolutely right!
If this general is in charge of this matter, this general will also let the two Huns Khans go, and then provide them with food, grass and soldiers!"
What! ?
"How is this possible?"
The civil officials exclaimed in unison.
They can not believe Yang Wudi, do not believe Yue Shenqiang, but have to believe what Cao Changqiu said!
Because Cao Changqiu and Bai Qi belong to different camps at the moment.
"Why is this so?! I don't understand! General, explain it clearly!"
The third worshiper originally wanted to make Bai Qi lose face, but he did not expect that the three marshals who were on par with Bai Qi in his heart actually agreed with Bai Qi's point of view!
Doesn't that mean that Bai Qi did not commit favoritism and fraud at all!
He refused to accept it!
