My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1036: Shedding blood, sweat and tears, leaving no legacy! Should good people be pointed at with guns?
Mao Sui said solemnly, "Lord Wu'an!"

"No rudeness!"

Mao Sui knew very well how tough Li Mu's character was, and he knew even more clearly how important Li Mu was to the State of Dai.

As the situation in Dai State was already quite difficult, Mao Sui really did not want to see General Li Mu anger King Jia of Dai again because of his stubborn character, causing Dai State to lose an arm!
Dai Wangjia waved his hand to stop Mao Sui, and looked at Li Mu calmly and asked, "Why?"

Li Mu stepped forward, pointed in the direction of Daidi and asked sadly: "Why didn't you save Daidi!"

"The men of Dai first attacked the Hu and then the Qin, fighting bloody battles for the great Dai and making great contributions."

"The reason why the Dai Kingdom was able to stand is because of the men of Dai who risked their lives for it!"

"Due to the war between Dai and Qin, the earth dragon turned over and fell into Dai, causing all the people to drown in the underworld, all the good farmland to be destroyed, the people to be displaced, and the people to have nothing to eat."

Li Mu took another step forward, shouting angrily and sadly: "They shed blood for the great ancestor! They shed sweat for the great ancestor! They suffered the punishment of heaven for the great ancestor!"

"How can I let them cry again without leaving any descendants?"

"How can we sit idly by and watch them cannibalize each other's children?"

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu took another step forward, and all the sadness he had felt along the way turned into a roar: "How can you be so cruel!"

"Why are you indifferent to the tragic situation in Daidi!!!"

Mao Sui sighed in his heart.

As the prime minister, Mao Sui was more aware of the tragic situation in Dai than Li Mu.

The tragic scenes that Li Mu saw were just the beginning. The real Daidi was far more tragic than what Li Mu saw!
Mao Sui felt reluctant, but what else could he do?
Facing Li Mu's angry rebuke, Dai Wangjia sighed softly: "I also know the situation of Dai."

"I admit that I only sent officials to Dai to pacify the people, but I never sent food and fodder to help the people of Dai."

"I know that my actions are cruel and will cause my dynasty to lose the support of the people. I am even more ashamed of the sincerity of the people of Dai towards my dynasty!"

Dai Wangjia's decisive and sincere admission of his mistake caught Li Mu off guard.

The king admitted his mistake?
Based on my experience of scolding two generations of King Zhao and one Queen Zhao, Your Majesty should be furious, and then I should have a big quarrel with the King and finally parted on bad terms.

But the king admitted his mistake?!
Taking advantage of Li Mu's confusion, Dai Wangjia continued to speak: "Yes!"

"Mr. Wu'an should know that although our Great Dai was founded in Dai, there are more than one Dai."

"Prime Minister, please hand over this year's tax books to Lord Wu'an."

Mao Sui took the tax grain summary and walked to Li Mu, sighing, "Wu'an Jun was sad after seeing the tragic situation of Dai. Is it possible that I am not sad? Is it possible that the king is not sad?"

"Of course, I am really powerless now!"

Li Mu quickly took the bamboo slips and glanced at them.

Seeing that the total tax grain of Dai this year was only 1.73 million dan, Li Mu felt sad, but his anger did not diminish at all. He threw the bamboo slips back to Mao Sui and said to Dai Wangjia, "This year, the dragon of Dai has turned over. There have been endless wars around Shanggu and Yuyang counties, making it difficult to farm."

"I have long anticipated that the tax revenue will be low this year."

"Yes! The reason why our Great Dynasty continued to fight outside after the Earth Dragon turned over was to regain food for consumption."

"Now our great dynasty has seized the old capital of Yan and three large warehouses. As far as I know, the grain captured is more than two million dan."

"Why is the king unwilling to transport these spoils of war to Daidi?"

Don't show me this damn record.

I personally recovered more than two million shi of grain for the country, and I know that the country has grain!

Dai Wangjia's eyes remained calm: "Qin Chang'an Jun said that this year Dai was hit by a severe drought and almost no harvest."

"Looking at Qin's ambitions, Qin will definitely take advantage of the drought in our country to attack our country."

"I need to keep these grains to deal with this year's drought and this year's war!"

Dai Wangjia's words were justified.

The big generation has food, but does the big generation only have this one year to live?
There is still no harvest in Dai this year. No one knows whether this year's drought will only occur in Dai or will affect Yuyang and other counties, but King Jia of Dai can basically be sure that Qin will definitely take the initiative to send troops to attack Dai between the end of this year and the beginning of next year. King Jia of Dai must keep enough surplus food for survival and war in the next two years.

Otherwise, the Dai Kingdom will surely perish!

Li Mu shouted angrily without giving in: "But that is the food that the men of Dai obtained during the expedition!"

"Their families deserve to eat the food they risked their lives to get back!"

"This is the promise the king has made to the people of Dai, and this is also the promise I have made to the people of Dai!"

But in Li Mu's heart, the most important thing is not the country of Dai, but the lives of the people of Dai, and also the word "reason".

When setting out on the expedition, the king clearly said that he would take everyone with him to rob food.

Now that we have got the food, the king is making all sorts of noises and refusing to give us food?

This is unreasonable!

Dai Wangjia asked in a deep voice: "Does Wu'an Jun want to destroy the Dai country?!"

Li Mu said in a broken voice: "I have never wished that the Great Dynasty would perish! I only wish that the Great Dynasty would last forever!"

"However, to relieve the suffering of the generation, there is no need to shake the great generation."

"I can still see the rich and powerful in Yuyang enjoying delicious food all the time. I also know that the wealthy and powerful in Yan must have a lot of food stored in their houses."

"In the past, Yan and Qi attacked Qin. Qin destroyed the powerful and wealthy people in Wei and took food to support the front line." "If Qin can do this, so can our great dynasty!"

This was the idea that Li Mu came up with on his way back.

The State of Dai indeed had little grain, and had not received much tax grain this year, but the former Yan nobles and powerful men in the State of Dai did have grain!
The Qin State was able to earn a large amount of food and grass by destroying the former powerful Wei State, and added icing on the cake by destroying the former powerful Qi State.

Why couldn't the Dai Kingdom destroy the former Yan nobles to earn food and supplies to help the victims in Dai?

Li Mu bowed solemnly and said, "If the king agrees with my advice, I am willing to lead the troops myself!"

"The people spit on me and I shoulder all the blame!"

Even if it means betraying his own powerful class, even if it means being despised by the powerful people of the world, Li Mu will do it as long as he can save the lives of the people of Dai!

If Chang'an Jun can do it, why should I, Wu'an Jun, be afraid?
Dai Wangjia shouted angrily: "Ridiculous!"

"Although Qin earned a lot of money and grain through this violent act, the remaining people of Qin all hate that the Qin society will collapse suddenly. As a result, Qin has many internal problems. Even if it wins battles one after another, it is still unstable internally. If it is not careful, it will lose everything!"

"Qin has no external threats, but it still has the strength to deal with internal worries, which are still very dangerous."

"Our dynasty is already facing many external threats, and Lord Wu'an wants us to face internal troubles again!"

Li Mu was speechless and could only ask: "Your Majesty, if you think my plan is inappropriate, what good plan do you have to save the people of Dai?"

After a few moments of silence, Dai Wangjia sighed, "For the sake of the great Dai country, I can only let the people of Dai suffer for now."

Li Mu's disappointment and anger grew stronger: "Why?"

"The people of Dai have sacrificed so much for the Great Dai, but the Great King has left them to sink into the sea of ​​suffering without caring."

"Thus, the powerful and wealthy people of Yan had made no contribution to the great dynasty, yet the king sat back and watched them eat, drink and enjoy themselves without daring to touch them in the slightest."

"The people of Dai have never been ashamed of the Great Dai, why does the King abuse them like this!"

Just because the people of Dai are loyal to the Great Dai, and the former Yan nobles may cause unrest, the Dai State should appease the former Yan nobles and let the people of Dai die?
Should good people be pointed at guns?
Mao Sui shouted in a deep voice: "Lord Wu'an!"

"All the people of Daidi are the king's subjects!"

"Your Majesty is even more intolerant of the suffering of the people of Daidi than the Lord of Wu'an."

"It is not yet the turn of Wu Anjun to be the master of all the people in Daidi!"

Mao Sui was scolding Li Mu, but Mao Sui was also saving Li Mu!
Although Dai was Li Mu's base, Mao Sui hoped that Li Mu could figure it out.

Whether in the State of Zhao or the State of Dai, Dai was neither Li Mu's fief nor the fief of Li Mu's ancestors. Li Mu was just an official in Dai, and a former official who had been transferred away for many years!
It was reasonable for Li Mu to stand up for the people of Wu'an City, because Wu'an City was Li Mu's fief.

It was understandable for Li Mu to stand up for the people of Bairen, after all, that was the fief of Li Mu's father.

But Li Mu had no position or reason to stand up for the people of Dai! They were the king's people, not yours, Li Mu's people!
Everyone knows that the people of Dai are loyal to Li Mu, and most of the officials in Dai are Li Mu's old subordinates. Li Mu himself regards the people of Dai as his own people. What do you want the king to think?
If he met a narrow-minded king, Li Mu's action alone would be enough to suspect that Li Mu had the motive of plotting rebellion, splitting the land to become a king, and emulating the old story of the three families dividing Jin!

It’s a pity that if Li Mu could be stopped by Mao Sui, would he have had to go through so many ups and downs in the Zhao court for so many years!

Li Mu rebuked without hesitation: "The Prime Minister said that the king was reluctant?"

"I didn't see anything at all!"

"The young and strong people of Daidi followed me through life and death, and the people of Daidi gave everything to Dadaidi, but now no one in Dadaidi speaks a word for them!"

"If I don't speak up for them, who will?"

Dai Wangjia's pupils suddenly condensed, and after a few breaths, he shed two lines of tears: "Wu Anjun is right."

"The people of Dai have never been ashamed of their dynasty, but I, on the other hand, feel deeply ashamed of the people of Dai!"

"If I had taken Qin Chang'an Jun's warning and Wu'an Jun's advice to heart earlier, how could the people of Dai have suffered such a tragedy?"

"I have done something wrong!"

Seeing that Dai Wangjia was crying, Li Mu felt a little bit embarrassed.

Shouldn't the king scold back? Why are you crying? How can I continue scolding you?

Dai Wangjia did not wipe away his tears. He looked at Li Mu with red eyes and said, "Please give me five days, Lord Wu'an."

"Within five days, I will come up with a plan to break the impasse!"

"If Wu'an Jun has good advice, he can submit it to me at any time."

"You and I, the king and the minister, must join hands and never let the people of Dai shed blood and tears!"

Li Mu was shocked: "Your Majesty, you are...wise!"

Li Mu clasped his hands in ecstasy and said: "Your Majesty, I, the people of all generations, thank you!"

Hearing this, Dai Wangjia's eyes turned cold for a moment, but he took the initiative to walk out of the table and helped Li Mu up with both hands, saying seriously: "No need to thank me, I should thank the people of Dai!"

They had a long conversation and the king and his subject got along well. After Dai Wangjia comforted Li Mu, he told Li Mu to go back and rest first.

After Li Mu walked away, Mao Sui spoke with concern: "Your Majesty should know that Wu'an Jun's uprightness and determination are rare in the world. Wu'an Jun's anger cannot be resolved by delaying."

"Your Majesty, have you already thought of a way to break the impasse?"

Dai Wangjia turned around and sat down, nodding gently: "If we want to protect the great Dai country and keep the people of the great Dai united, there is only one strategy."

"Northern Alliance Huns!"
