At the beginning, I gave the future empress her death. I became stronger because I was stupid.

"National Preceptor?"

Qin Mu's eyes flickered.

The national counselor Du Yulin is a veteran of three dynasties and has served the Qin Dynasty for more than a thousand years.

He has always been loyal to the Qin Dynasty. He has a low-key personality, treats others well, and is very popular in the court.

And his strength is also unfathomable. It is said that he entered the realm of a saint in his early years, but was injured in a battle, causing his strength to drop and no longer reach its peak.

But despite the decline in strength, Du Yulin is still one of the top combat forces in Da Qin.

It's just that he usually keeps a low profile and rarely takes action.

It was obviously no small matter for him to come over in person.

"Summon him for an audience." Qin Mu ordered.

"promise."

The maid responded, turned around and ran to summon him.

Qin Mu then walked towards the imperial study.

…

Outside the Imperial Study Room.

Du Yulin put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, with a faint look of fatigue between his brows.

These days, if Qin Mu is the most carefree and comfortable, then the one who is most worried and worried is the national master Du Yulin.

As a loyal veteran, he was the last person who wanted to see the Great Qin Empire decline.

Towards Qin Mu, he has always been like an old father, protective and considerate in every possible way.

But...

But the other party just didn't understand his painstaking efforts.

Blindly addicted to pleasure, debauchery and immorality.

Now he is even more wanton and reckless, causing internal and external troubles to the already precarious Qin Empire, making the situation even more dangerous.

Qin Mu's stupid move undoubtedly made matters worse.

"well!"

Du Yulin sighed.

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly and he looked up suddenly.

In the distance, I saw a figure approaching slowly, it was Qin Mu!

"His Majesty!"

Du Yulin's eyes lit up and he rushed forward to greet him.

"What makes the Imperial Master so flustered?" Qin Mu asked.

"Your Majesty, you have finally appeared!" Du Yulin said anxiously: "If you don't show up again, I may not be able to hold on any longer!"

Qin Mu was surprised: "What happened?"

"His Majesty!"

Du Yulin suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "The Cang Yue Dynasty sent envoys today. Not only did they act arrogantly and unscrupulously in Chang'an City, they also made rude remarks and bluntly said that they wanted to see you in the court. If you don't go to court, you are afraid of them. ....”

"Oh?" Qin Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was not too surprised.

He had already anticipated this situation.

Both the Cang Yue Dynasty and the Qian Yuan Dynasty were in the area north of the Qin Dynasty, especially the Cang Yue Dynasty, whose territory bordered the three northern continents.

Therefore, the Great Qin Dynasty, which had the largest territory and richest resources, naturally became the target of Cang Yue and Qian Yuan's siege.

The three parties have been at odds with each other for a long time.

However, the new empress who ascended the throne a few years ago in the Cang Yue Dynasty suddenly changed her previous style. She no longer sent troops to harass the northern border of Qin Dynasty, but instead sat on a mountain and watched the fight between tigers and tigers.

Only then did the northern border usher in a brief period of peace, and even though the Qianyuan Kingdom was eager to occupy Da Qin, it did not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, the three dynasties have maintained a delicate relationship in recent years.

Now that King Zhenbei is dead, Jiang Luoshen has turned against him, and the delicate relationship has been broken.

It seems that Cang Yue Dynasty can finally sit still...

Qin Mu's mouth showed a hint of coldness.

What Qin Mu didn't expect was that the other party was so eager to act.

There hasn't been much movement in the north yet, but envoys have already been sent.

There must be some conspiracy behind this, or something happened.

"Announce the decree and go to court."

Qin Mu said calmly: "I want to see how arrogant they are."

"According to the order!"

Du Yulin on the side breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went down to deliver the order.

Soon, Qin Mu changed into a dragon robe and came to the main hall.

"Let us meet His Majesty!"

All the ministers kowtowed and shouted.

"Your Majesty, please excuse me."

Qin Mu waved his hand, walked up to the dragon chair, and sat down.

"Brother Imperial! You finally appeared!" A man wearing a python robe came out, bowed and said:

"The Cang Yue Dynasty sent an envoy to see the Emperor Brother, saying that he had important matters to discuss with the Emperor Brother."

"I already know."

Qin Mu said calmly.

"Brother Imperial, you must be careful."

The man in the python robe was the King of Hengyang, Qin Shijing. At this time, his face was solemn and he said in a deep voice:

"The Cangyue Dynasty is extremely ambitious. It has coveted the territory of Great Qin for a long time and has been ready to make a move. Now it is taking advantage of the chaos in the three northern continents to send envoys to show off its power. It is really abominable to be ambitious!"

These words seemed to be rebuking the Cang Yue Dynasty, but in fact they were mocking Qin Mu both overtly and covertly.

If Qin Mu hadn't been so stupid and executed King Zhenbei without any reason, forcing Jiang Luoshen to overthrow, the three northern states would not be in chaos, and the other side would not have the chance to take advantage of the situation.

After saying these words, Hengyang King Qin Shijing stood aside quietly waiting for Qin Mu's reaction, feeling very proud at the same time.

There was no flaw in his words. He not only expressed his anger, but also belittled Qin Mu. It was simply brilliant!

Qin Mu glanced at Qin Shijing lightly and said: "It seems that King Hengyang has a big opinion against the Cang Yue Dynasty. In that case, why not lead the troops to attack the Cang Yue Dynasty, which can be considered as a way to relieve the worries of the Qin Dynasty. "

"I!?"

Hengyang King Qin Shijing was stunned when he heard this!

Let him lead troops to attack the Cang Yue Dynasty? Are you kidding!

The Cang Yue Dynasty was so powerful and powerful, how could he shake it?

What's the difference between that and committing suicide? ?

"What? What objection does King Hengyang have?" Qin Mu said calmly.

"My brother has no objections." King Hengyang swallowed and said dryly:

"It's just that the Cang Yue Dynasty is very powerful. If they attack rashly, they will suffer heavy losses! This matter needs long-term consideration..."

Qin Shijing was about to cry but had no tears at this time.

What he said just now seems to be just shooting himself in the foot.

Isn't this a typical self-destruction?

Qin Mu glanced sideways and said calmly:

"Didn't you just say that the Cang Yue Dynasty was ambitious and attempted to invade our territory of Great Qin? Why are you giving in now?"

Qin Shijing opened his mouth, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.

"I heard that the quality of the troops of the Hengyang Prince's Palace is quite good. It is a troubled time now. If we can help Great Qin win the Cangyue Dynasty, it will be considered a great achievement. I wonder what Prince Hengyang wants?"

Qin Mu said with a smile.

"This..." Qin Shijing's eyes flickered and he was speechless.

That army was left by him to seize the throne, not to die!

At this time,

A fat-headed civil servant with a sinister face came to the rescue: "Your Majesty, the Cang Yue Dynasty's ambition is indeed abominable, but it is far from the point of sending troops to attack."

"In my opinion, it is not too late to invite the envoys of the Cangyue Dynasty to see them first and see what they are planning to do."

These ministers are all old and cunning people, and they have given advice one after another.

Qin Shijing breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the person who spoke.

This guy's name is Wang Xing. He is a minister and is in charge of the world's money and food management. He is greedy for money and lustful, but he is quite clever. He is the candidate he wants to win over.

Qin Mu glanced at Wang Xing, his eyes fell on Qin Shijing's face, and said lightly:

"What does King Hengyang think?"

"Uh... Your Majesty is wise!" Hengyang King Qin Shijing smiled and hurriedly agreed.

How dare he raise objections.

Seeing this, Qin Mu raised the corner of his mouth with a sarcastic arc, shook his head disdainfully, and was too lazy to say more.

He then turned his attention to the outside of the palace and said, "Let the envoy from the Xuan Cangyue Dynasty pay an audience."

"As you command!"

A chamberlain responded respectfully and then withdrew.

........

After a while,

The palace door opens,

Several figures walked in slowly.
