Chapter 1139 In the Xianyang Palace, Civil and Military Disputes
"Report to Your Majesty, I object to this."
"It is true that the gap between the strength of the empire and the enemy world is too large, and rashly launching a war may be counterproductive. Please think twice before acting."
Hearing the enemy's world strength data given by His Majesty, after some careful analysis, Du Yu, a doctor in the empire, stepped forward and remonstrated.
Although there is no explicit statement, the attitude has been very clear, that is to express a clear opposition to the war at this time.
Hearing Du Yu's words, and seeing that the person who made the remarks was Du Yu, a middle-aged doctor, all civil and military officials were not surprised.
You must know that Du Yu is the leader of the peace faction in the empire. Du Yu has to oppose at least seven times in ten wars. It can be said that he is a proper "pacifist".
Therefore, they have long been surprised by Du Yu's attitude, and even expected this scene to happen.
Not only civil and military officials, but also Ying Ji.
However, neither Ying Ji nor the civil and military officials thought that the middle doctor Du Yu was passively avoiding the war.
Because everyone can see that the doctor Du Yu is not against war, but against war when the time is not ripe.
Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, the doctor Du Yu is just a little lack of courage, but it is not a passive fear of war in the true sense.
...
"The doctor's words are not good. According to this official, this battle must be fought."
"Not only must we fight, but we must fight as soon as possible."
"This minister agrees with His Majesty's idea, and is willing to lead an army as the vanguard to attack the enemy world."
At this moment, Lu Xun, the minister of Yongzhou and the commander of Xianyang, stepped forward.
Prepare to lead an army alone and attack Daqian World as a forward force, and at the same time express a clear objection to the statement of the Chinese doctor Du Yu.
Seeing that Lu Xun started to speak, many civil and military officials could not help but become cautious.
Different from conservatives and senior officials like Du Yu, a middle-aged doctor, Lu Xun, who served as the minister of Yongzhou and the commander of Xianyang, was a leader of the younger generation among the hundred officials of the Qin Dynasty.
Not only did he hold a high position at a young age, but he was also highly valued by His Majesty. He had mastered the 50,000-strong Imperial Army of the Qin Dynasty.
It can be said that Lu Xun is better than Du Yu in terms of official position, power and influence.
Different status led to different opinions, so the civil and military officials obviously paid more attention to Lu Xun's speech.
"Lu Xun, you know that there is a cloud in the art of warfare. Soldiers are important events in the country, the place of life and death, and the way of life and death. You must not ignore it."
"It is unwise to rashly develop with the world of the same level when the strength gap is too large. If one does not do well, it is very likely to suffer heavy losses or even wipe out the entire army."
"Thank you for commanding the 50,000-strong Imperial Army and commanding the Xianyang Lingxi. Don't you even know this?"
Seeing Lu Xun decisively refuting him, Du Yu, a middle-level doctor as a civilian, did not give in, and directly confronted him, even citing the art of war.
"As an official of Xianyang, and in charge of the 50,000-strong forbidden army, I am naturally proficient in the art of war, so I don't care about the doctor."
Lu Xun said so.
"Then the official asks the Xianyang Order, what is the basis for the Xianyang Order to agree with the rapid war? Where does the confidence come from?"
"Could it be that Xianyang Ling thinks that the Shenzhou Great World, which has just been promoted to the Great Thousand World, can defeat the old world of the same level?"
Hearing Lu Xun's words, Du Yu also said with the smell of gunpowder.
"Why not?"
Lu Xun replied, which made the atmosphere intensified.
The two were both civil and military, and both held high positions, so they fought each other in the Xianyang Palace.
The key is that neither of them are blindly fighting, but each has his own reasons. They compete with reason without losing the smell of gunpowder. It's really a big show.
Watching the two wonderful mutual confrontation, the civil and military officials all watched with relish. If there is a stool to sit on, it will be more comfortable to eat some melon seeds.
Not only civil and military officials, but also Ying Ji, watching the theoretical confrontation between Lu Xun and Du Yu with great interest.
But the father said that the public was right, and the mother said that the mother was right. The two were arguing for a long time with blushing necks and no winner. It can be said that they are evenly matched.
The attitudes of the civil and military officials were also constantly changing, and the scene was once deadlocked.
"quiet!"
At this moment, a calm and dignified voice came, and it was Jiang Shang, the president of the Imperial Academy of Literature, who spoke.
When it was too open, the court and the opposition suddenly became solemn, and even Du Yu and Lu Xun, who had been arguing before, stopped arguing and became quiet.
For this legendary figure who once assisted King Wu and created the 800-year-old Zhou Dynasty, all the imperial ministers from China respected him, and in front of him all held the ceremony of a disciple.
Even if it is not from the imperial minister of China, he still respects Jiang Shang.
Not only because he is a veteran of the empire, but also because of his unfathomable strength, many imperial ministers have to respect each other.
"Then how about Ziya?"
Looking at Jiang Shang, who took a step forward in the hall, ready to give advice, Ying Ji said this.
Directly addressing Jiang Shang's words clearly values Jiang Shang's opinion.
"Your Majesty, this minister agrees with what Your Majesty and Yongzhou Mu said that the Empire should start a war with Daqian World as soon as possible."
Jiang Shang, whose beard and hair are all white and spirited, said this, directly agreeing with the quick-fight strategy.
As soon as Jiang Shang opened his mouth, the attitude of the civil and military officials also showed a one-sided situation.
Everyone knows that when the heavyweight ministers of the empire, such as the left and right prime ministers, the presidents of the two chambers, the five ministers, and the six party marshals, express their views, it is time for the debate to end.
"Grandpa..."
Looking at the ancient well without waves, like Jiang Shang who can't fall down a pine and cypress, Du Yu said in a puzzled way.
It would be fine if Lu Xun and him disagreed. After all, Lu Xun belonged to the military attache group, and he would definitely have the opportunity to benefit once the war started.
But even the Taigong is like this, Du Yu is completely puzzled.
You must know that Taigong belongs to the civil service group, or is one of several top executives in the civil service group. Taigong should understand his own ideas. How could this be?
Du Yu was full of doubts.
"Doctor Zhong, you don't have to wonder, just listen to this official coming slowly."
Looking at the doubts and confusion in Du Yu's eyes, Jiang Shang stroked his long beard and said.
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials nodded.
Sure enough, a character like Taigong will definitely not simply express his inclination, and there must be many plans behind it.
"Please speak clearly!"
Hearing Jiang Shang's words, Du Yu said with a sigh of relief, hoping that Taigong's reasons could convince him.
"The enemy world has no less than 3,000 longevity-level combat power, which is still a conservative estimate."
"And Shenzhou Great World is less than two thousand, only one-third of it."
"Excuse me, everyone, because of the difference in the combat power of the longevity level, do you think it is slim to win a victory now?"
Jiang Shang asked in this way, although his tone was flat, but it was the crux of the matter.
Yes, this is the greater concern of most civil and military officials.
Fear that a quick battle will not only fail to win, but will suffer a major defeat.
