Chapter 264

It is truly unsafe there!

But here, it is truly reassuring!

At the very least, enemies are all out in the open, and friends are truly friends!

It is impossible for any friend to harm Facing Ying Su!

"Your Majesty, you are sage!"

"Sage indeed! 927"

Wang Jian, convinced from the heart, bowed down to Facing Ying Su.

But the next second, he began to sigh again: "Although Outside Xianyanggong is not safe, yet... with Your Majesty holding the fort there, even if some people wish to cause chaos, they dare not act recklessly!"

"But if Your Majesty were not holding the fort, would they not create great chaos?"

Wang Jian furrowed his brows fiercely!

This was also the point he worried about!

Those nobles, which one of them is a lamp that saves oil?

For these people, even Wang Jian was extremely troubled!

If not killing them, they will jump around wildly!

Then should we kill them all?

Anyway, with Li Yuanba, what is there to fear from rebellion?

Wang Jian had not thought this way, but just thinking about it made him shake his head!

A country is not governed this way!

No matter what era, no matter which dynasty, ruling a country through killing is the worst strategy.

Indiscriminate killing harms the nation's strength, that is the first point!

The Emperor bearing the infamy of indiscriminate killing is the second point!

And the difficulty of distinguishing loyalty from treachery is the third point!

The first and second points are still manageable; one can just control them!

The most critical point is this third one!

You say you want to kill people, then who do you want to kill?

Kill treacherous people?

Then who is a treacherous person?

In the imperial court, no one will say they are a treacherous person!

They all say they are good people, and moreover, before the Emperor, they each guarantee to you that they are good people, great loyal ministers!

Moreover, they are not just in words, but also in actions!

How do you kill them?

Distinguishing loyalty from treachery is difficult!

Being an Emperor is truly not easy!

Although Wang Jian did not know how Facing Ying Su would handle these matters!

Yet Wang Jian, merely thinking about it, felt a headache!

Hard to judge!

Truly hard to judge!

The imperial court is complex!

Therefore, after destroying the six states, Wang Jian would rather stay idle at home every day than participate in government affairs in the imperial court!

The waters within are too deep! Truly too deep!

Moreover, besides those nobles causing chaos, Wang Jian also worried about another person!

That is right!

This person is Seeing Ying Zheng!

To what extent does Seeing Ying Zheng want to restore his position?

In order to restore his position, he has thought of almost every method and used every means!

Now... with Facing Ying Su gone, can he not cause trouble?

Without Facing Ying Su, if he wants to restore his position, who can stop him, who dares to stop him!

He furrowed his brows fiercely, but he could not say these words directly to Facing Ying Su, so he could only remind him indirectly:

"Your Majesty, you should return; besides you, no one can hold that group of nobles in check!"

He spoke these words, truly extremely worried!

And as soon as this sentence was spoken, Facing Ying Su immediately laughed:

"No one can hold that group of nobles in check?"

"Does my father the Emperor not hold them in check either?"

"Ah-pu!"

"You... what did you say?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Wang Jian was so shocked he spat, looking at Facing Ying Su with a face full of shock and incredulity!

"Your Majesty... you... what do you mean by this?"

He was infinitely shocked!

His head was buzzing even more!

But just at this moment, suddenly, the cannon fire outside stopped!

Han Xin rushed into the tent at once!

The moment he entered the tent, he knelt on one knee before Facing Ying Su and shouted:

"Your Majesty! I, Han Xin, am guilty!"

123. Fan Zeng: Withdraw from the grasslands, attack the Roman Empire! Plunder Rome!

"Guilty?"

The words left his lips, and Facing Ying Su froze.

Wang Jian froze as well!

"Did we lose this battle...?"

Wang Jian looked at Han Xin in shock, his face full of disbelief!

Han Xin shook his head and said, "We did not lose; a great victory! Eighteen thousand enemies slain!"

"Eighteen thousand enemies slain?"

The words left his lips, and Wang Jian swallowed hard.

One must know, that is eighteen thousand enemies slain!

It was almost a complete annihilation!

Such a glorious achievement, even across the entire history of warfare, is extremely rare!

No!

Except for the Battle of Changping, it is almost as if there is none!

But the Battle of Changping was Bai Qi's six hundred thousand against Zhao Kuo's four hundred and fifty thousand!

Moreover, Bai Qi deceived Zhao Kuo into believing that surrender would mean no killing.

Only thus did he slaughter the entire Zhao Army!

But Han Xin fought an open and fair battle!

Relying purely on his own military genius, he slew eighteen thousand enemies despite having half the enemy's troop strength!

This achievement is truly more magnificent than Bai Qi's!

Even more crucially... Li Yuanba did not participate in this battle!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Wang Jian, excited, congratulated Facing Ying Su!

Facing Ying Su then looked at Han Xin: "Since you slew eighteen thousand enemies, what is your guilt?"

He asked.

Likewise, Wang Jian was also confused!
