Chapter 84 Emperor Qing is plotting! The life-and-death choice between parenthood and territory, who will be the ultimate sacrifice?

How could the ministers put the fate of the entire Southern Qing nation on the brink of danger in order to save Emperor Qing's son?

The Kingdom of Qing does not belong to Emperor Qing alone, but is shared by everyone.

Just when the ministers were in deep despair, someone suddenly stepped forward.

Lin Ruofu's pupils shrank slightly because the person who stepped forward was his son Lin Gong.

Lin Gong didn't even glance at his father, but just bowed and said:

"I think that although the King of Yan is difficult to rescue at present, it also creates a rare opportunity for our Qing Kingdom."

"The great master under the command of the King of Yan has killed Si Gu Jian and also beheaded Ku He, the national master of Northern Qi. At this moment, Dongyi and Northern Qi are in a weak state!"

"The Prince of Yan invaded the border alone, which tied up a lot of Northern Qi's energy, forcing them to dispatch heavy troops to the border to hunt down the Prince of Yan!"

"Why don't we take advantage of this God-given opportunity to first defeat the Dongyi and then sweep across Northern Qi?"

Defeat Dongyi first, then sweep Northern Qi? !
Upon hearing Lin Gong's plan, all the court officials suddenly had an idea.

"What a brilliant plan! The plan proposed by Lord Lin Gong is indeed a brilliant plan!"

"Now that Northern Qi's defenses are weak, and Dongyi City has lost the protection of Si Gu Jian, it's as easy as taking something out of a bag. It can be destroyed in a snap!"

"Isn't this the best time for our army to attack?"

"Lord Lin Gong is indeed the son of Prime Minister Lin. His ideas are as unrestrained as a wild horse, and he is extraordinary! He is also like an antelope hanging a horn, leaving no trace! He is really full of ingenious ideas, wonderful! Wonderful!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a military general immediately stepped forward and praised Lin Gong loudly.

Hearing the words of praise, Lin Gong's face remained calm and unperturbed.

He knew very well that the reason why this general praised him was because his strategy could bring opportunities for military merit to everyone, and this battle would be easy, just like taking something out of a bag and picking up merit.

Lin Ruofu's face was also gloomy. He stared at Lin Gong deeply, as if he had a lot to say in his heart, which was difficult to express in words.

As this general stood up, it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves. Countless generals stepped forward and shouted in unison:
"Your Majesty, Lord Lin Gong is absolutely right! Now is a golden opportunity for our army. Northern Qi and Dongyi have been standing in our way for many years. We should defeat them in one fell swoop and enhance our national prestige!"

"Indeed, the destruction of Dongyi City is inevitable, and then we will go to war with Northern Qi. Even if we cannot destroy the country in one battle, we can at least make it unable to breathe for decades!"

"Northern Qi has lost its Grand Master, and so has Eastern Yi. Your Majesty only needs to recall Grand Master Ye and, with the help of our elite divisions, a glorious victory is just around the corner!!"

The generals were full of confidence and showed no fear of the Northern Qi and the Dongyi.

At this time, the civil servants had weighed the pros and cons and made a decision in their hearts.

Lin Ruofu stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, although my son only had a flash of inspiration at the moment, this is not impossible."

"In fact, our Qing Kingdom does not need to use all its national strength. We only need to use a part of its troops to destroy Dongyi City and severely damage the current border troops of Northern Qi!"

"In this way, the impact on our Qing Kingdom will be minimal, but it will definitely deal a heavy blow to Northern Qi, and we can also gain an advantage on the Wudu River and make full preparations for future wars."

Lin Ruofu's considerations were extremely thorough.

The other civil officials naturally echoed and said:
"Minister Lin is absolutely right. This war will bring a hundred benefits to our Qing Nation, and no harm at all! If we win a great victory, it will surely boost the morale of our Qing Nation and greatly enhance its prestige!"

"It just so happens that General Qin Ye is also stationed at the border. With the army under his command, we will surely be able to capture Dongyi City in one fell swoop, and teach those arrogant people in Northern Qi a profound lesson!"

"Northern Qi has indeed become more and more arrogant in recent years, and has repeatedly invaded our borders! If we can give them a head-on blow and make them feel the pain, I believe they will restrain themselves for a few years."

"Now that Northern Qi is weak, perhaps we can really take advantage of this opportunity to destroy Northern Qi, expand our territory, and unify the world! By then, Your Majesty will achieve the great cause of an emperor through the ages and become a king who will never be forgotten!"

Even Chen Pingping rarely spoke, saying:
"Your Majesty, the King of Yan is still in Northern Qi. If our army sends troops at this time, it can threaten Northern Qi and reduce the pressure on the King of Yan!"

"After I defeat Northern Qi, I can use the power of this victory to force Northern Qi to release the King of Yan! I'm sure they won't dare to disobey."

Li Chengyun is his ally. Although he has full confidence in Li Chengyun, he still hopes to provide Li Chengyun with a solid guarantee.

As long as Qing can defeat Northern Qi in this battle, Northern Qi will never dare to act rashly against Li Chengyun. Fan Jian also stepped forward, with similar intentions as Chen Pingping:
"Although the King of Yan is in danger, he has made great contributions in this battle. We must not sit idly by and do nothing to save him!"

"Now is the time when Qing is invincible and Northern Qi is weak. All we need to do is to march forward in force and they will know what to do next."

Li Chengyun eventually became his son-in-law.

Speaking of Fan Ruoruo, her temperament has changed drastically in recent days and she seems to be concerned about Li Chengyun.

I had no appetite all day and my body became thinner and thinner.

Fan Jian was worried about his daughter, and also hoped that Li Chengyun could return safely.

Emperor Qing heard the opinions of his ministers and nodded slightly.

Lin Gong did offer some good advice this time.

Defeat the Dongyi and threaten the Northern Qi.

If we find a good opportunity, we may be able to destroy Northern Qi in one fell swoop and unify the world.

Although the power of Qing Kingdom was enough to destroy Northern Qi.

However, Emperor Qing already regarded himself as the ruler of the world and did not want to suffer too much loss.

After all, there are still two great masters in the territories of Northern Qi and Dongyi, who also put considerable pressure on it.

If these two great masters escape, even if Qing Kingdom annexed Northern Qi, the world would be in chaos.

He originally planned to wait for Ku He and Si Gu Jian to die of old age, as they were already old and their fate would not be similar to his.

Once these two people passed away, he could begin his grand plan of unification.

However, things are unpredictable, and the two did not grow old naturally as he wished, but instead died at the hands of the grandmaster beside his son.

Although the process was very different from what was expected, the result was the same.

At this moment, the great cause of unifying the world can be slowly pursued.

But he could not agree with the proposals of Fan Jian and Chen Pingping.

The two wanted to take this opportunity to rescue Li Chengyun.

But what Emperor Qing was thinking in his heart was to take this opportunity to get rid of Li Chengyun.

He would never allow Li Chengyun to survive.

Li Chengyun posed too great a threat to him.

Since Jian Jiuhuang was able to kill Si Gu Jian and Ku He, he naturally had the ability to pose a threat to him.

He would never allow such a threat to remain in the world.

Therefore, both Lao Huang and Li Chengyun must be eradicated.

Even in terms of priority, Li Chengyun is ahead of Lao Huang.

However, this matter must be kept secret, and no one else must know that he wants to kill his own child.

Otherwise, the world will be in an uproar, which will be detrimental to his rule and will also cause his ministers to rebel against him.

Just like when he dealt with Ye Qingmei in the past, he could not do it himself.

Only with the help of others can he get rid of Li Chengyun and Lao Huang while maintaining his own reputation.

Having made his decision, Emperor Qing opened his mouth and said:

"Since all the ministers think this is a good opportunity, and I also think it is a good opportunity, then let's act according to this plan."
