The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 545 Fierce Dispute

Zhengxi did not spend too much time in the small northeastern city. After Weining finished speaking, she hurriedly left the northeastern city and went straight to the Nanyue Palace.

Returning to the palace, Zhengxi called all the officials of South Vietnam, headed by the old prime minister, to the main hall to discuss matters.

Many senior officials are still in the dark, but looking at Zhengxi's behavior, it seems that something big is about to happen. They all looked solemn, and after standing still, they waited for Queen Zhengxi to speak.

The first words Zheng Xi spoke instantly solidified the atmosphere in the hall.

The Sichuan-Sichuan barbarians and the Western Region Allied Forces were about to attack South Vietnam, which made everyone stay silent for a while.

When they made the decision to expel the 50,000 Han troops, they were not as panicked as they are now.

Because at that time they were sure that the Han people would have no time to look south. They had powerful enemies to contain them in the northwest and west, and the Han people would not divide their troops to attack South Vietnam.

But it is different now. The Western Region Allied Forces and the Sichuan-Sichuan Barbarians will not worry so much. They will attack South Vietnam towards death.

Can South Vietnam deal with these two countries? Not to mention the Western Regions coalition, even if the Sichuan barbarians came to attack, they would have no chance of winning, let alone two countries coming together?
The Minister of War hurriedly cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, we should seek help from foreign countries."

Zheng Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head. The old Prime Minister asked, "Who can I ask for help? A big man?"

"The big man has lost two enemies now, won't they add insult to injury?"

There are not many such opportunities. Once the Han loses these two enemies in the northwest and west, they will definitely follow them to plunder South Vietnam. It is almost impossible to expect them to rescue them.

From the time South Vietnam expelled their 50,000 troops from South Vietnam, their relationship with the Han was destined to never be restored to what it was before.

At this time, if the big man takes advantage of the situation, South Vietnam will not have any backhand power.

The old prime minister knew that Zhengxi had gone to the Northeast City, so he clasped his fists and asked, "Does your Majesty have any countermeasures?"

Zhengxi nodded.

All the ministers looked happy and breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as the king has a response strategy, they absolutely believe in Zhengxi.

Zheng Xi did not sell out and said, "I went to contact Wei Qing."

There was no one present who did not know Wei Qing, the original Han Army God. Zhengxi did not reveal Wei Ning, but only told them of Wei Qing's existence.

But even so, it was still enough to shock them. They really didn't expect Wei Qing to have come to South Vietnam. No wonder that northeastern city would develop so fast. It turned out that Wei Qing was running it.

When the old man saw Zhengxi looking troubled, he knew that this matter was not that simple, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what did General Wei say?"

Zheng Xi sighed and said: "Wei Qing's answer is simple. I will hand over all the command rights in South Vietnam to him. No one is allowed to interfere with his military affairs."

"No!"

"Nonsense!"

"Wei Qing is bullying others too much!"

Sure enough, just as Zheng Xi expected, no one in the entire court supported her approach.

Think about it and you know, who is willing to leave the safety of their home and country in the hands of an outsider?

You are not allowed to interfere in his military affairs, and all command rights are given to him. Why not give the country to him?

Wei Qing wants to have absolute command of South Vietnam. What will happen when he turns against him?
Who can guarantee Wei Qing's loyalty?
King Zhengxi, you have no friendship with Wei Qing. Even if he betrays you, you can't find fault with him. At most, you can call him despicable.

If there is no restraint on Wei Qing and he rashly hands over all the military command to him, it will be tantamount to digging a grave and setting himself on fire. The old prime minister was Lao Chi's minister after all. He asked Zheng Xi: "Your Majesty, how can we guarantee Wei Qing's loyalty?"

What he said shows that he completely and absolutely trusts Wei Qing in his ability to help South Vietnam overcome difficulties.

When the Huns were so powerful and eager to invade the Han, no one expected that the Han could stop the Huns. What was the result?

When Wei Qing was at the Battle of Dragon City, which Huns were not defeated by Wei Qing?

The combined fighting power of the Western Region Allied Forces and the Sichuan-Sichuan barbarians is now far from the same as that of the Huns. As long as Wei Qing can take action, he will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties.

But the problem is, Wei Qing is not a South Vietnamese, how can we ensure that he is loyal and does not rebel?
Zheng Xi shook his head and asked the old prime minister: "I would like to ask you, what would be our end without Wei Qing?"

Perish! This is unquestionable and cannot be stopped. According to the current situation in South Vietnam, it absolutely cannot be stopped.

Zheng Xi sighed and said: "Yes, since this is also destruction, why not choose to believe in Wei Qing once? At least there is a little hope, right?"

"Besides, Wei Qing said that if he doesn't agree early, he won't take on this job later. The sooner he can make arrangements, the better. If he is allowed to join just before the battle, he will not be able to deploy troops."

The hall fell into absolute silence for a moment. So many ministers were silent for a while, and no one dared to say anything.

If they really want to support Wei Qing and Wei Qing rebels, they will be the sinners of the country's subjugation, and no one will dare to take this responsibility.

The old prime minister asked Zheng Xi, "What conditions did they offer?"

It is impossible for Mr. Wei Qing to help South Vietnam for no reason, there must be conditions.

Zhengxi shook his head and said, "No conditions."

Then why...

The old South Vietnamese Prime Minister couldn't understand. In this case, there is no benefit at all, why should Wei Qing help South Vietnam tide over the difficulties?

Just because their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, just because they can develop in South Vietnam with peace of mind? Is it just that?

The old South Vietnamese Prime Minister could never figure out the other party's intentions. Compared with their group of old foxes, the old South Vietnamese Prime Minister always felt that his IQ was not enough.

Just like when Sang Hongyang came to buy land, they were the ones who benefited in the end.

Zheng Xi said: "Everyone, please make your decision as soon as possible. My intention is very clear. I will hand over the country to Wei Qing and choose to trust him!"

The old Prime Minister looked embarrassed, but several senior officials had already said: "Listen to your Majesty!"

At this point, the old South Vietnamese Prime Minister no longer persisted, and could only choose to believe Wei Qing, cupping his fists and saying: "Listen to your Majesty!"

Zheng Xi hummed, motioning for the others to leave first, and asked the Ministry of Rites to issue a notice to prepare for war across the country, so that the people across the country could be prepared to fight the war and avoid harm.

She left the old Prime Minister alone and asked worriedly: "Prime Minister, tell me...will Wei Qing take the opportunity to devour our country?"

The old South Vietnamese Prime Minister thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "No!"

"What they want is not our land. They are fully capable of annexing us, but they have not done anything like this."

"But they won't help us for no reason. There must be some purpose that we don't know about."

Zhengxi also couldn't understand. You would never be able to talk to these Han people about wisdom. It would be better not to think about it.
