Chapter 180 Compromise
Those generals seemed to grasp the theme of criticizing the civil servants, taking Zheng Qing's words as the center of the circle, and the civil servants' understanding of the war as the radius, then opened their throats and pointed at their noses and cursed.

Facing this group of rude generals, they can spit out obscenities, but these civil servants read sage books, and they can't speak the obscene language of generals, so they can only blush when facing the greetings of generals He hesitated, "You...you..."

"What are you!" Zheng Qing said again: "Our empire, Heluo, looks down on the world. How can the barbarians get their hands on it? You old guys sitting on the high hall, it's fine if you don't cheer for the soldiers, but you still advocate My dear friend, isn’t this subduing others without fighting? Thanks to you who are still reading sage books, you don’t even have this kind of ambition. Regardless of the dignity of the country but believe in celestial phenomena, the books of sages are all read on dogs ?!"

"Well said!" The group of military generals immediately echoed: "The book of sages, have you read it on dogs?"

"You... you...!" The blood of several senior civil servants surged, and they spit out a mouthful of old blood without holding back their mouths.

"Student!"

"Li Xingguan!"

Wu Zetian, who had been sitting on it without interfering, frowned slightly, and continued, "Come on, pass on the imperial physician!"

"This..." Zheng Qing was stunned, I haven't finished cursing, why can't it work?

Only then did the generals calm down, and the civil servants quit. They knelt directly on the ground, crying and shouting, "Your Majesty, these generals spoke rudely and fainted, my lords. You have to do it for me!" We call the shots!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if the military general is not punished this time, we civil servants will have no status in the future, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the veterans!"

At this time, Wu Zetian frowned even tighter.

In fact, Wu Zetian also wanted to send troops, but these civil servants said that Heluo's economy would collapse soon, and people's livelihood would collapse.If this matter is true, then after Wu Zetian sent troops, he would be called a faint king.

After all, history is not forgiving. No matter how many glorious things a person has done, only one stain can cover up all the brilliance of a person.

"Ai Qing." However, Wu Zetian is also a person who has seen the world, and she will not be thrown into chaos by a moment of chaos. She said calmly, "Look, what should happen to this matter?"

Wu Zetian's words immediately stunned Zheng Qing. He never thought that these two people would be unable to bear it for a while, vomiting blood and comatose. After Zheng Qing saluted, he said: "I believe that the worries of civil servants are also for the people's livelihood of the empire. The starting point is good. It's a pity that the celestial phenomena cannot represent the future, and the current frontier troubles call for the dignity of the empire, which I think must be taken seriously."

"So we can't make love."

"Of course you can't make a marriage." Zheng Qing immediately said: "A marriage is to declare to the outside world that the empire is afraid of the barbarians in northern Xinjiang. Not to mention how other countries view Heluo, but the barbarians in northern Xinjiang will continue to invade after they have tasted the sweetness once. In the frontier, although it is not too late to send troops to destroy the barbarians, the life of the princess has already been ruined."

Wu Zetian nodded approvingly, "I agree with your point of view. You can't retreat in this battle, and getting married is a bad idea and not advisable. How can my empire sacrifice the life of the princess in exchange for a short period of peace in order to deal with economic collapse?"

"Hey, I heard General Su Lie say that Ming Hou is good at divination. He used to do divination for the Great Wall in the General's Mansion of the Great Wall. The hexagrams showed that the Great Wall would be doomed." Cheng Yaojin said: "Soon the Great Wall was indeed invaded by an army of demons. .The Marquis of Ming Dynasty is a master at predicting things, so why not make a divination in public to silence the civil servants?"

"Well, I think it's wonderful." Wu Zetian also nodded, "Ai Qing, come and do a divination for us to verify Li Xingguan's horoscope."

"Shanmiao!" The generals also echoed.

Zheng Qing: …….

What the hell!

Cheng Yaojin, where the hell are you from?At that time, you were the one who scolded me the most, but now you are making sense here?If the hexagram really came true, wouldn't Heluo really be unable to fight this battle?

Call me for a divination, if you can do it, why don't you come?

Zheng Qingdao: "Your Majesty, I don't have any fortune-telling utensils on me. The peony armillary sphere is the tool I use for divination. Flowers are good for good luck, and flowers are broken for bad luck. But the peony armillary sphere was snatched by Fusang man Thirteen Lang. There is nothing that can be done.”

"Ah? This..." Cheng Yaojin patted his head, "Since Minghou's divination artifact has been taken away, in Yiweichen's opinion, we have to find a compromise."

"A compromise?" Wu Zetian thought for a while, then nodded approvingly, and said, "Well, Cheng Aiqing's words are indeed worth considering. Ladies and gentlemen, let's start the discussion."

The two civil servants who had fainted had already been carried down by the imperial physician, and the other civil servants also shrank their necks a little, at least not daring to be too tough.

Didn't you see that the last person with a tough attitude was already lying on a stretcher and carried out?

"I also agree with General Cheng's idea." A civil servant said: "A marriage will damage the majesty of the empire, but starting a war will also cause the economy to collapse in the near future. Now is the time to compromise."

"Then tell me, what should we do?" Wu Zetian asked directly.

"This..." The clerk shrank his neck again. Shouldn't he say a few good words by himself, and then your Majesty, you agree with my words, and then let them discuss it?Why did it suddenly become my idea?If I have a way, the two adults won't vomit blood and pass out.How can this not be played according to the routine!

The civil official had no choice but to salute, and said: "The humble minister is stupid and can't think of a compromise. Please punish him by Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Wu Zetian shook her head in disappointment, she knew it would be like this, all the thieves with good words, when they really asked them to come up with a plan, all of them were silent, it seems that the court officials still have Big question.

Wu Zetian sighed, "After the border issues are brought into contact, I will set up an examination to evaluate the ability level of each official. Those who fail will go to the local officials."

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, some people were overjoyed, and some were shocked.

Although the official position will not be lost, compared with the central government position, going to the local government is equivalent to being demoted!
It is obvious that His Majesty's move is aimed at civil servants. After all, generals do not need to be tested. They fight on the battlefield every day. If they were not capable, they would have died in the battlefield long ago.

All the civil servants saluted one after another, "Your Majesty's holy name!"

Wu Zetian waved his hand, "Okay, this is an extraordinary time, so don't stick to these etiquettes. Dear friends, let's discuss and discuss, how about a compromise."
