Chapter 1560: Killing the Xiongnu envoy, the revenge begins!

Aguli clutched his neck, his expression one of disbelief.

In war between two countries, one does not execute the envoy.

He did not expect that Gao Yang would actually dare to take action, that he would truly dare to defy the world, not fear the verbal attacks of scholars, and be so decisive, not even pretending, executing him with one sword.

Boom!

Aguli's body fell, his eyes wide open, looking as if he could not die in peace.

Gao Yang took out a white handkerchief, wiped the blood from the sword, and his faint voice resounded through the Jin Luandian.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Swish, swish, swish.

At this moment.

The previously noisy Jin Luandian became instantly silent.

Song Li was stunned.

Lu Wen was stunned.

Lu Zhen was stunned.

The entire court of civil and military officials was stunned.

Even Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er, who had some psychological preparation, could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Madman... this is a true madman."

Cui Xinghe clenched his palms, the immense force directly crushing a piece of fine white jade in his palm, but Cui Xinghe ignored it; instead, he stared fixedly at Gao Yang, his heart shocked.

This Xiongnu envoy was executed directly in court.

There was no accidental death, no secret disappearance; he just found an extremely lame excuse, and then in the most direct and arrogant way, started his own revenge!

The first strike of the sword dance directly executed the Xiongnu envoy!

Yan Zheng's cloudy old eyes widened, his body trembling.

Even knowing Gao Yang's power, Yan Zheng could not help but say, "Prime Minister Gao, you just executed the Xiongnu envoy like this?"

He stared at Gao Yang with his old eyes, heartbroken.

Although he also felt that the Xiongnu envoy was lying, that the peace talks were fake, and that humiliating Da Qian and Gao Yang was real, but... what if?

How many people and soldiers would die less in the world?

Gao Yang looked at Yan Zheng and said, "Physician Yan, that is incorrect; I am merely dancing with a sword, but since it is a sword dance, it is reasonable for my hand to slip and kill someone by accident, right?"

Hearing this, Yan Zheng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

You call this an accident?

That strike was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation!

"Prime Minister Gao, are you taking the entire court of civil and military officials for fools?"

"Do you know that with this killing, you have directly cut off the path to peace talks, and the entire border will be reignited with war? Prime Minister Gao, you will be a sinner for all eternity!"

Yan Zheng was heartbroken.

Gao Yang's expression was calm, the corner of his mouth slowly curling into a mockery, "Physician Yan has truly broadened my horizons; you actually think the Xiongnu sincerely wanted to come for peace talks?"

"Fine, I will assume that the Great Chanyu backstabbed his allies, had a brain spasm, provoked me, intensified the conflict, and still wanted to come to negotiate peace with my Da Qian."

"But do the officials in the court really think about using women for marriage alliances, like that Chu Emperor, to exchange for peace?"

Gao Yang's eyes turned cold, scanning the restless peace faction, and he scolded them directly.

"Ridiculous!"

"My vast Da Qian, let alone that this is a fake peace talk, even if it were real, we must never sacrifice women to exchange for peace; peace exchanged by women is not peace, but a great humiliation!"

"Let alone that the Xiongnu Great Chanyu specifically named Wan'er to go for a marriage alliance; if you wish for peace, then send your own daughters and wives for the marriage alliance, and stop eyeing my woman!"

"The hot-blooded men of my Da Qian have spines straighter than bamboo and harder than iron; how can we exchange women for peace?"

Gao Yang's words, like a sonic boom, exploded in the Jin Luandian.

The officials were shocked.

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes trembled, staring fixedly at Gao Yang.

Wu Zhao was also shocked, her jade hands clenching the armrests of the dragon throne.

Lu Zhen was excited upon hearing this.

His tiger-like eyes scanned left and right; that heart wanting to roar in anger grew even higher.

As Gao Yang said, the hot-blooded men of Da Qian have spines straighter than bamboo and harder than iron; how can we exchange women for peace?

If that bunch of spineless people want a marriage alliance, let them send their own wives, mothers, and daughters.

Let alone that the Xiongnu were clearly playing with Da Qian.

For a moment, even Yan Zheng could not speak.

The Xiongnu envoy had already been killed, so discussing whether it was true or false was meaningless.

But this was not what made Yan Zheng most angry; what truly made him angry was that the Xiongnu had sent an envoy in a proper manner.

Since he was an envoy, how could Da Qian execute him?

"Prime Minister Gao, in war between two countries, one does not execute the envoy; this is a rule from ancient times. You previously killed the Chu envoy, and now you have killed the Xiongnu envoy; this will make my Da Qian a laughingstock to the world!"

Yan Zheng looked heartbroken.

Hearing this, Gao Yang laughed loudly.

"Physician Yan, I agree with the saying that in war between two countries, one does not execute the envoy, but this saying has a premise: the two countries here must both be vast nations that understand propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, follow the Kingly Way, and where a promise is worth a thousand gold; only then is it a nation!"

"In the past, the Chu Kingdom tore up the alliance, and 100,000 cavalry drove straight in; does that count as a great nation?"

"Let alone this Xiongnu; the Xiongnu invade my borders every year, kill my Da Qian people, kidnap my Da Qian women, and make my Da Qian borderlands full of starving people and make the people unable to live!"

"What does that count as?"

"Now, the Xiongnu, relying on the support of the three kingdoms, invade my Da Qian again and reignite the war; this action of the Xiongnu, let alone being called a nation, even the word 'beast' insults the term!"

"To speak of the style of a great nation with the Xiongnu and treat them with courtesy, Physician Yan, why don't you go to the borderlands, see the living hell ravaged by the Xiongnu, and ask the people suffering from the Xiongnu if they agree? Ask the loyal souls of Da Qian who died on the battlefield and are buried in the green hills if they agree!"

A strong wind howled outside the hall, blowing the purple robes on Gao Yang's body.

Gao Yang raised his voice, each sound louder than the last, resounding like thunder through the Jin Luandian.

The vast Jin Luandian suddenly fell silent.

Yan Zheng's face turned pale, and he could not speak.

A pot-bellied civil official in wide robes could not help but stand out, "Prime Minister Gao, this is a conversion..."

But before the word "concept" could be uttered, another voice like a muffled thunder rang out.

"I'll convert your mother!"

Lu Zhen could no longer suppress his inner agitation and let out a roar of anger. ===== CHAPTER 1562 =====
