“???”
The Qin envoy was stunned, his face full of astonishment.
Is this guy crazy, or am I crazy?
What did he say?
He … he dared to be so disrespectful to the Qin King?
Very quickly, the envoy's face darkened, and his tone turned cold, "Your Majesty, your words are a great humiliation to the Qin King! If you apologize now, I can let bygones be bygones … "
"Let bygones be my ass!"
Xu Que gave the ambassador a tight slap across his face.
With a crisp slap, the entire Imperial Court fell into a deathly silence.
The envoy was stunned, unable to believe what he had just seen.
I was actually slapped?
Isn't this Eastern Tang King a good-for-nothing? He only knows how to pursue some bullsh * t free love every day. I never heard of him having such guts!
This was mainly because the Qin Kingdom had been fighting all over the place these past few years and had not paid much attention to the situation in the Eastern Tang.
In their eyes, a small border country like the Eastern Tang could easily make the King kneel down with a flick of his finger.
Who would have thought that the Eastern Tang of today was not as weak as it was in the past.
The officials below were also stunned.
Fuck!
The Emperor actually slapped the envoy!
Is he crazy?
In an exchange between two countries, the envoy was the representative of the King.
There had always been a saying on the battlefield that envoys were not to be killed. Whoever touched the envoy was basically declaring war.
Xu Que's action was no different from slapping the Qin King.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was also stunned by Xu Que's sudden slap.
"What are you doing?" She asked in a low voice, "What's the difference between this and declaring war on the Qin Kingdom?"
Xu Que picked his ear and said nonchalantly, "So be it. It's not like I can't beat them."
What a joke. A mere envoy dares to be so arrogant?
You're even more pretentious than me. How can I tolerate you?
As for the fact that he can't beat them, Xu Que did not take it to heart.
What a joke. This Act-Tough Saint has been studying for 5,000 years, memorizing the art of war. How can I not beat the Qin King in an illusion?
It doesn't even exist!
"Bastard! You're dead! Your entire Eastern Tang Kingdom will be destroyed! "
When the envoy came to his senses, his face flushed red and he screamed in rage.
Motherf * cker, annihilating a country?
Xu Que laughed coldly. Under everyone's shocked gazes, he waved his hand and pulled out a large sword from his crotch.
"Now is the time to rob. Men stand on the left, women stand on the right. All of you, put your hands on your heads. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! Hey, I'm talking to you, give me some reaction! "
Whoosh!
At this moment, the entire hall was dead silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded, their faces full of confusion.
Robbery?
You're the emperor!
Robbing an envoy of the Qin Kingdom in the palace?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty …" A courtier stammered.
"Don't call me the Emperor. I'm now the leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction, Xu Que!" Xu Que laughed wantonly.
The Exploding Heavens Faction?
Where the hell did this damn gang come from?!
No, the point is, when did the emperor join this Exploding Heavens Faction!
The envoy felt the coldness on his neck and his face turned pale.
At the juncture of life and death, he no longer had the arrogance he had before. His voice trembled as he said, "That … Your Majesty, if there's anything we can discuss, we can resort to the law. Our Qin King has always pursued justice and fairness. Your actions will not benefit the Eastern Tang."
"When you were so arrogant just now, did you consider resorting to the law?"
Xu Que said with a smile that was not a smile. "Resorting to the law? I now believe that your actions have caused serious mental damage to this emperor. I request that your Qin King compensate me 300 million gold taels, or I'll castrate you on the spot! "
300 million gold taels!
The envoy was dumbfounded.
Why don't you just f * cking kill me!
If the Qin King knew that the envoy he sent out had a sword held to his neck, the first person he would behead would be me, the envoy, alright?
If I lose face in other countries, who else will die but me?
Thinking of that outcome, the envoy could only feel fear in his heart. He did not even have the slightest feeling.
"What the f * ck, why are you so cowardly that you peed your pants?" Seeing this, Xu Que hurriedly jumped away, waving his hands with a look of disdain. "Men, bring our great envoy away and treat him well."
A few sturdy Imperial Guards walked forward and carried the envoy away.
After dealing with the ambassador, Xu Que lay down on the bed and spoke out, "Dear ministers, if you have any opinions, feel free to voice them out."
The officials were all silent.
Voice my ass!
Xu Que's actions just now had allowed these officials to vent their anger.
But after venting their anger, what followed was a problem that could not be dealt with.
Should they kill this envoy or not?
If they killed him, the Qin King would definitely find out. At that time, with a wave of his hand, thousands of troops would descend upon them, and they could only become the people who perished.
If they did not kill him, they would let the envoy go back. Today, the Emperor had humiliated the envoy so, the Qin King would definitely be enraged. At that time, he would similarly trample over Eastern Tang with a flick of his finger.
"Xu Que, your actions are completely disregarding the bigger picture." Xuanyuan Wanrong said with a cold expression.
She was currently in a very bad mood. It was not just because of Xu Que's actions.
It was because when Xu Que did these things, Xuanyuan Wanrong actually felt a trace of betrayal.
Didn't we all decide to slowly develop?
Why are we still doing this?
He was still the same as before, completely disregarding the feelings of others.
Xu Que completely did not sense the resentment in Xuanyuan Wanrong's words. He said lazily, "Do you really think that I am here to persuade you to surrender? Bullshit! "
Saying so, he flipped over and sat up, saying seriously, "Let me tell you, even if we surrender now, we will definitely not have a chance to catch our breath. Who knows, there might be Qin soldiers disappearing in Eastern Tang next year. At that time, the Qin King will have plenty of reasons to come and deal with us."
Xuanyuan Wanrong's elegant brows furrowed deeply. "Then according to what you said, the Qin King will attack sooner or later. Why is he sending people to persuade us to surrender now?"
"There can only be two reasons. One is that he is too lazy to waste his troops. The other is that something has happened in his country, hindering his expansion." Xu Que rubbed his chin, saying thoughtfully. "I am leaning towards the second reason."
"Why do you say so?" Xuanyuan Wanrong still did not agree with Xu Que's words.
"Because the Qin King is such a conceited fellow. He will not persuade others to surrender. He will only wait for others to surrender themselves."
…
At this time, the officials were already in a heated discussion. The civil officials and military officials were divided into two sides, arguing loudly.
"In this old official's opinion, the best thing to do now is to quickly reorganize our troops and shrink our defenses. Our country is far from the Qin. Once the Qin soldiers surround us for a long time, they will naturally retreat."
"You old thing, stop bullshitting. Your Majesty, give this official 300,000 troops. This official will definitely kill the Qin generals and not let the Qin army invade our country!"
"You idiot, you only know how to fight, fight, fight!"
"Old fool, you want to fight?"
…
Xu Que sighed, slapping the dragon throne. "All of you, quiet down!"
Xu Que had already established enough prestige. With a single order, everyone immediately fell silent.
"We now announce that we will personally lead the army and fight it out with the Qin King on the battlefield!"
As soon as he finished.
All the officials in the court were stunned, almost thinking that they had heard wrongly.
What did the Emperor say?
He wants to lead the army personally?
Fight it out with the Qin King on the battlefield?
It's over!
It's over, it's over. After two years of peace, the Emperor is acting up again …
…
