I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

But they also knew that their status in the emperor's heart was far inferior to that of Sima Lian.

But now the emperor had to choose between them and Sima Lian, which made many generals tremble with fear.

Sima Lian had expressed his thoughts before, but now that the emperor brought it up again, wouldn't that mean that the emperor actually had the same thoughts as Sima Lian?

Thinking of this situation, many generals feel ashamed.

If the emperor really listened to the civil servant's peace negotiation strategy, it might be the end of their big week.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Deputy General Liu closed his eyes, and suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, his eyes were full of begging.

He couldn't forget what Zhang Siyuan told him, and he couldn't just watch his country fall.

He wants to lead the army, he wants to fight, and he wants to drive out those foreigners who are trying to invade their Great Zhou.

Unfortunately, if the emperor didn't give an order, how could he go to the border?

Seeing that Vice General Liu actually begged for the emperor, many scholar-bureaucrats showed complacency in their eyes.

In their view, Deputy General Liu and others are nothing but reckless people.

A reckless man should be driven by these scholar-officials, but he still wants to stand in this court, what a dream!

The emperor sat at the head and saw all this in his eyes.

The little hope in my heart just now is now very little left.

It seems that he has been too kind all these years to make these people forget whose world this Great Zhou belongs to.

"Vice General Liu, there is no need to do that."

Everyone in the court hall was stunned by the emperor's words. Realizing that the emperor said these words for Vice General Liu, the expressions of the civil servants changed slightly.

The emperor's attitude towards Vice General Liu, doesn't that mean that in the emperor's heart, he actually wanted the Northern Expedition?

If the emperor really ordered the Northern Expedition, wouldn't the benefits they had received from Prince Fanbang be gone?

Thinking of this, the faces of some civil servants became a little ugly.

Even Sima Lian was a little taken aback when he heard the emperor comforting Vice General Liu.

He originally thought that with the emperor's favor and trust in him, even if Vice General Liu and others were deadly admonished, the emperor might not be able to order the Northern Expedition.

But now, listening to the emperor's tone to Vice General Liu, it seems that things are different from what he expected.

However, Vice General Liu suddenly raised his head when he heard the emperor's words, his eyes were full of hope.

"Your Majesty, now that those people from Fanbang are invading our Great Zhou, they should be stopped in time."

Sima Lian couldn't sit still for a while when he thought of what Princess Chaoyang had said before.

"Your Majesty, the Fanbang people are coming very aggressively, and they captured our two cities in Dazhou in just three days. If we insist on the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that it will seriously damage Dazhou's vitality."

Sima Lian didn't care about being reserved at this time, and he didn't care whether the emperor still trusted him.Hearing what Vice General Liu said, he was worried that the emperor had really listened to it, so he hurriedly spoke to stop it.

However, Sima Lian only cared about stopping Vice General Liu and suppressing generals, making the emperor distrust generals.But he didn't notice that the trust in him was gone in the eyes of the person sitting above him, leaving only a sudden look.

Following Sima Lian's words, the entire hall fell silent.The emperor was also on the verge of accepting Sima Lian's words as before, but looked coldly at those people in the court who advocate peace.

After all, it was the emperor. Under the eyes of the emperor, everyone suddenly felt that their hearts were suppressed by an invisible pressure.

After a long time, the emperor nodded.

"The prime minister is right."

The emperor said this while looking at Sima Lian and those civil servants who were planning to negotiate a peace. Seeing Sima Lian and those civil servants who were planning to negotiate a peace were relieved, the emperor's eyes were still indifferent.

However, these words made Sima Lian relax his vigilance, and he once again made an appearance of indifference to the world.

"Your Majesty, the minister's proposal is actually for the good of our Great Zhou. Now that our Great Zhou's military strength is no match for Fanbang, we should take care of ourselves."

"When the Fanbang army is strong, confronting the opponent head-on is not beneficial to our Dazhou. Moreover, this move will anger the Fanbang people, and we will have more civilian casualties."

Hearing Sima Lian's words, all the civil servants following him nodded in agreement.

"The prime minister is right. If we really confront the foreign people head-on, there will be a lot of casualties."

"Your Majesty, listen to the old minister. The old minister also thinks that Prime Minister Sima has thought well. If the Fanbang people are angered at this time, it will be another big disaster for us Dazhou."

Seeing those old officials in the court stand up, the expressions on the faces of the generals became even more angry.

Ask this group of people the truth, they can have the peace they have today, and they can be demons in Dazhou.Aren't they the ones who guard the border to protect their safety?

Now this group of white-eyed wolves are either impeaching these generals in the court, or suppressing them.

Vice General Liu was furious, and he had no choice but to throw these civil servants to the battlefield to show them the dangers of war.

However, he was angry and angry, but he also knew that without the emperor's order, no one could act rashly.

If not, I'm afraid they will be demoted for an unwarranted crime just like Zhang Siyuan back then.

Although Zhang Siyuan resigned in the end, his incident also sounded a wake-up call in the hearts of all the generals.

The emperor is more afraid of military generals than civil officials. If they want to live in peace, the emperor's attitude is very important.

"It's really nonsense, why are you taking advantage of the foreign people, and you are so toward them?"

Vice General Liu looked at the civil servants in the court hall who were almost all talking about peace talks, and his face was livid with anger.

Just now he was still concerned about the face of some old officials, but now seeing that these old things want to stop the Northern Expedition, Vice General Liu couldn't help cursing anymore.

Vice General Liu's words were also serious, which changed the faces of all the veterans who had just stepped forward.

"Vice General Liu, you are bold! How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of His Majesty, it is really rude!"

"Your Majesty, Vice General Liu is so bold, you should be punished, otherwise these people may become even more rampant."

Hearing that the other party was still accusing him at this time, Deputy General Liu's face became more and more ugly.

He didn't speak any more, but looked at the emperor.

What kind of decision to make now, everything is up to the emperor.

If the emperor was not willing to go to the Northern Expedition, no matter how much they thought about it, they would not be able to get the emperor to agree to the Northern Expedition.

However, the emperor's face remained unchanged, which made Sima Lian and others feel confused for a while.

Before they had such a quarrel with the general, the emperor would definitely speak to them, and even scold the general.

But now the emperor just watched them.But he didn't say a word, Sima Lian and other civil servants were inexplicably flustered.
