After the first fool

Chapter 211 Bai Qingluo's Strength
The sky was dotted with red clouds, Mo Xiaoran raised her head slightly, her clear almond eyes became more and more radiant with the brilliance of the evening glow, she stared at Bai Mo, and suddenly, the corner of her mouth pulled out Laughing: "I know," the words paused slightly: "What do you want to say?"

Bai Mo's heart trembled slightly, she actually knew? "Do you agree with the emperor's request to send troops? Do you agree that the world is in dire straits?"

It's hard to tell whether it's more disappointment or more indignation, but Bai Mo's hoarse voice trembled slightly, like questioning or whispering.

Mo Xiaoran smiled coldly: "Prince Regent, my people are lying in the imperial mausoleum now. Lanyu Kingdom killed so many people in the town. Shouldn't these debts be paid back? What's more, today, Dongyao If you don't send troops first, is it possible that you still want to wait for Lan Yu to prepare everything before the troops arrive at the city?"

The very clear questioning made Bai Mo's body tremble slightly, and his fingers clinging to his sides tightened. He finally sighed, fixed his eyes on Mo Xiaoran, her firm eyes, her stubbornness With an arrogant body and a stuffy heart, really... really only she, only she can communicate with the emperor's uncle.

After all, I finally understood what the pain in my heart was for, it wasn't disappointment, it wasn't anger, it was just jealousy, I was jealous that there was such a person who could have a tacit understanding with the emperor's uncle, that's all!

There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Bai Mo shook his head, then turned and walked towards the study. This night, the Great General's residence was brightly lit.

In the early morning of the second day, white mist enveloped the entire imperial city, almost reaching the point where you can't see your fingers. Bai Qingluo was dressed in a court uniform, standing outside the mansion with a tall body, and whispered to each other: " When she wakes up, remember to prepare more breakfast, don't let her go hungry."

Nodding his head every month, he sighed in his heart. Having said that, the hidden guard next to his majestic King Qing has now been reduced to the point where he has to prepare meals for a woman?
The corner of her mouth twitched violently, but seeing the concern in Bai Qingluo's eyes, she finally agreed. In the heart of the master, Mo Xiaoran holds a very important position.

Bai Qingluo got on his horse and led Qingfeng to the palace to prepare to go to court. Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered outside the main hall, and walked towards it one by one. Bai Mo and the prime minister whispered a few words from time to time. Fighting each other, fighting for so many years, overtly and secretly crowding out each other, who would have thought that they would laugh away their grievances just because of one person?

When the officials arrived at the court hall, the dragon frame also slowly approached. Surrounded by the palace people, Bai Zixu stepped into the court hall. Except for Bai Qingluo, all the officials knelt to meet him, brushing and crawling on the ground, and the white jade floor reflected In Cheng Liang's halo, he stepped up to the high platform with big feet, sat firmly on the dragon chair, his handsome dragon face evoked a faint smile, and raised his arms slightly: "Everyone, please be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Baiguan stood up immediately.

"Yesterday, I believe you have heard about the fact that the emperor's uncle entered the palace to ask for an order to dispatch troops." Bai Zixu smiled, but his eyes were cold and cold to the extreme, "I don't know what you think of it. "

"Your Majesty," Liao Xue's father, Liao Ke, the Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately walked out of the queue, clasped his fists, and said, "The confrontation between the two countries is indeed a major event. Now that the treasury is empty, there is no silver for millions of soldiers to consume. There is not enough food and grass. How can we fight this battle?" ?”

Bai Qingluo snorted softly, and then, his eyes slowly swept across the Minister of Rites, who shuddered, withstood the pressure, and walked out of the queue with a pale face: "My Majesty, the national inventory of silver is only 3205 million taels, and it is indeed not enough to supply Soldiers and horses are consumed."

"Uncle Emperor, what do you think?" Bai Zixu had someone figure out the silver in the treasury last night, and tried every means to prevent Bai Qingluo's idea of ​​going to war. Bai Qingluo.

"It's okay," he said leisurely, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at all the civil and military officials present: "This king has traveled privately in the past few years, and he still has a lot of silver in his hand, and he also has good friends with many local merchants. , if the two countries go to war, the required silver duo can be prepared, and you don’t need to worry about it.”

The smile on Bai Zixu's face froze suddenly, and he asked in a cold voice, "Does the emperor know how much silver is needed once the war starts?"

"Your majesty forgot, what did this king do? When it comes to war, this king dares to be number two, who dares to be number one?" Bai Qingluo said domineeringly, and made Bai Zixu lose face in public, with a cold and rigid look. His imposing manner forced Bai Zixu to be embarrassing, but he really had no choice but to deal with this powerful uncle.

"It seems that I am worrying too much." He found a step for himself.

"Ministers don't need to worry about military supplies. There are soldiers and horses, food and grass. Do you think this battle can be fought or not?" Bai Qingluo narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked with a smile, but there was no trace of warmth in that smile. , cold to the bone.

Everyone who was slowly swept by his icy gaze was covered in cold sweat.

"This……"

"Your Majesty," Bai Mo said first, "What Uncle Huang said is reasonable. For many years, Lanyu Kingdom has repeatedly provoked troubles on the border. We really should teach them a lesson. If they continue to grow their arrogance, what will Dongyao's prestige be? I kneel down and beg the emperor to issue an order to send troops to Lan Yu!"

"Please issue an order from the emperor." A group of military officers in Bai Mo's old department knelt down one after another, asking Bai Zixu to order the troops to be dispatched.

Mo Qing's eyebrows jumped, she gritted her teeth and said, "Please make an order from the emperor."

Even he stood on Bai Qingluo's side, and many civil officials were moved after hearing the news, and knelt down: "Please make an order from the emperor!"

Two-thirds of the courtiers knelt down in the entire court, and the only few stood out from the crowd. They were all under Liao Ke's subordinates, and they could be said to be the ministers Bai Zixu relied on, but they were hard to beat with two fists. Hand, the tide is over.

Bai Zixu never imagined that more than half of the courtiers in the court would agree to send troops. His complexion turned from blue bricks to black, which was extremely ugly. He held the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, his eyes were cold, and he knelt on the ground while looking down. Civil and military officials, their teeth are gritting.

Bai Qingluo leaned lightly on the back of the chair, looked up at the young king with a livid face, and sneered in his heart. He only wanted to unify the court, but was weak to foreign enemies. How could such a king rule the world?How to unify the Three Kingdoms in the future?

"Zhen..." Bai Zixu was about to speak, but he swallowed the words again. If he agreed to send troops under pressure, what is his majesty?But if he doesn't agree, how can he win the hearts of all officials?Neither advancing nor retreating, Bai Zixu is now in a dilemma.

A cold light flashed across Bai Qingluo's eyes, "Your Majesty, please issue an order."

As soon as the words fell, all the officials immediately surrounded him: "Your Majesty, please issue an order!"

The neat and powerful voice lingered in the hall, Bai Zixu trembled all over, and looked at Bai Qingluo in horror. Today, just sending troops, he can win the support of all civil and military officials. If in the future, he wants to What about the throne under the ass?Bai Zixu only felt a chill down his spine, especially when he saw Bai Qingluo's deep eyes, he felt the chill was overwhelming.

"King Qing!" Seeing that Bai Zixu couldn't suppress the situation, Liao Ke aimed cannon fodder at Bai Qingluo, "Are you planning to force the emperor to make an order?"

What he said was convincing, as if what Bai Qingluo did was a treasonous thing.

Bai Qingluo raised his brows slightly, and asked in a cold voice: "Has this king ever said something serious? Many officials do not want to be bullied by Lan Yu, and begged the emperor to send troops. Wang Yixin instigated it?" He caressed his cuffs lightly, and there was a cold light in his deep eyes, "Master Liao, what are you trying to do! How dare you slander the king in public!" He clapped his big hand on the armrest, With a palm that condensed strong internal force, the handle of the armrest unexpectedly snapped, broke in response, and fell to the white jade floor with a thud.

Liao Ke's face turned pale, and he felt that the head on his neck was shaking. His God, did he eat the courage of ambition?He actually forgot how cruel this person's methods were.

Liao Ke just started to get scared, he didn't dare to look at Bai Qingluo at all, shaking his head tremblingly, trying his best to treat himself as a mural, wishing he could disappear into the hall.

Seeing that Liao Ke was so useless, Bai Zixu was furious. He looked at Bai Qingluo coldly, and then at the civil and military officials lying on the ground. Suddenly, he had the illusion that he was the emperor. He is the king of a country, why are they supporting Bai Qingluo?

"You all agree to send troops to Lan Yu?" Gritting his teeth, he asked slowly.

All the ministers were silent for a second, and then said in unison: "Yes!"

King Qing has a million soldiers in his hands. For many years, he has been famous in Dongyao. His ability is not in vain. He has never lost a battle. If he can defeat Lan Yu in one fell swoop, it will definitely be a good thing for Dongyao!What's more, even military supplies don't need to be paid by the court. Why is the emperor still hesitating about such a good thing?
Not only that, even the Regent agreed to King Qing's request, which shows that this matter is imperative!These courtiers are all far-sighted, so how can they disagree with such an analysis?

Bai Zixu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were so cold that water could be wrung out, "Since you've lost all interest in waiting, I don't need to say more, Li Quan."

"The slave is here." Li Quan said tremblingly.

"Decree, the general Wang Bai Qingluo will lead the soldiers from all directions on the border, and send troops to Lan Yu! You can only win, but you can't be defeated. If there is a mistake, King Qing will come to see you!" The back road is blocked, if he loses the battle, there will be no place for him in the court!
Bai Mo frowned disapprovingly. Although the emperor's uncle was victorious in every battle, the battles are unpredictable. What if...

Just as he was about to refute, he was stared at by a beam of cold light, slowly raised his head, and saw Bai Qingluo shaking his head at him as a signal.

Uncle Huang is really sure that he will be undefeated?Bai Mo resisted the impulse in his heart, Li Quan immediately drew up the decree, and handed the decree to Bai Qingluo, he slowly unfolded it, looked at it, then nodded in satisfaction, Liao Pao stood up from the chair, deep and dull His eyes were filled with fragmented smiles, and a faint smile was gently pulled out from the corner of his mouth, and he cupped his fists towards Bai Zixu, who was standing above him, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, this king will definitely live up to the expectations of your majesty, and I won't wash my hands with blood." Yu, I will never return to court!"

"Okay!" Bai Zixu forcefully squeezed out a very stiff smile, "With King Qing's words, I feel very at ease." After that, he didn't bother to look at Bai Qingluo anymore, "Back the court."

He remembered today's shame, when he stepped off the high platform, Bai Zixu gave Bai Qingluo a cold look, his eyes were dark, don't let him have a chance to drag Bai Qingluo off the horse, otherwise!He will make this person repay a hundredfold.

After sending Bai Zixu away respectfully, Bai Qingluo placed the imperial decree in his hand, and his usually cold face softened a lot.

"Uncle Emperor, I wish you a triumphant return as soon as possible." Bai Mo walked to Bai Qingluo and smiled slightly.

Mo Qing also walked over: "Yes, King Qing will definitely not let me down."

"Everyone can rest assured that this king will definitely break through Lan Yu's territory and bring it into my Dongyao's territory." Bai Qingluo said with confidence as he clenched his five fingers in the air.

"When does the emperor plan to leave?" Bai Mo asked aloud.

"Leave at noon, and I have to take care of everything in the imperial city." He entrusted Bai Mo and Mo Qing with the funeral affairs. With such civil and military officials in charge, Dongyao will not be chaotic, and he can Set off with peace of mind.
