Lin Mu's words surprised the ministers in the court.

It wasn't because the idea was so brilliant.

But because the idea came from Lin Mu.

In their minds, Lin Mu was just an emperor with no real ability!

Even though he had brought down the Mei family and won a victory, deep down, the ministers still felt that Lin Mu was able to achieve these things only because of the foundation of the Great Wei royal family, and not because of Lin Mu's own abilities.

But these words forced everyone to change their opinion of Lin Mu.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Yuan Buyi was the first to stand up and say loudly, "Your Majesty's move will allow the Xiongnu people to willingly learn the etiquette and culture of our Great Wei, which is the best policy! I completely agree!"

"I also agree!" Xu Changqing also stepped forward.

"I also agree!" Ma Ren followed suit.

"I also agree!"

One after another, the ministers stepped forward, and then all the ministers said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"

After the early court, many ministers gathered together, discussing Lin Mu in low voices.

"Have you noticed, His Majesty seems like a different person?"

"Who says otherwise? The current Majesty is like a different person from the Majesty of a few months ago."

"I can't believe that the former Majesty would grow to such a height!"

...

"Cough!"

Just as they were discussing, a cough suddenly came from the side, startling the ministers.

Turning their heads, they saw that it was Yuan Buyi who was coughing, and the ministers quickly shut their mouths.

Everyone knew that Yuan Buyi, who was previously unpopular, had now become a hot figure in His Majesty's hands.

Discussing His Majesty in front of Yuan Buyi was just asking for trouble.

Looking at the ministers leaving in a hurry, a smile appeared on Yuan Buyi's old face.

That Great Wei could have Your Majesty was truly a blessing for the people of the world!

Just as the capital was in harmony, a burst of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from outside the Jiangnan Army Corps stationed in the west of Great Wei.

Reining in his horse outside the barracks, the soldier dismounted, looking flustered, and ran towards the camp.

"The Western Army Camp has rebelled and joined the Quanrong!"

"The Western Army Camp has rebelled and joined the Quanrong!"

"The Western Army Camp has rebelled and joined the Quanrong!"

The soldier shouted as he ran towards the direction of the commander.

The soldiers who heard the news along the way felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

They had already expected this situation when they received the order to station here.

But no one expected it to be so fast!

In the Quanrong royal city, Tian Cheng, his daughter, and the Quanrong King were swearing an oath of alliance.

"From today onwards, Tian Cheng is the Co-King of my Quanrong! Tian Miaomiao is the Princess of my Quanrong!"

The Quanrong King announced loudly.

The princes below had different expressions.

Some had faces full of joy, some were expressionless, and some had solemn expressions.

Tian Cheng took in the faces of these princes and gave Tian Miaomiao a look.

Tian Miaomiao understood and picked up the strong wine to walk in front of the princes: "Little sister offers a bowl to my brothers."

"Good, good!"

The Quanrong King was even happier when he saw this.

At the same time, he said to his sons, "You should learn more from Miaomiao in the future. Although Miaomiao is a woman, her wisdom is not inferior to yours!"

As soon as these words came out, even the princes with smiling faces could not maintain their smiles.

Seeing this, Tian Cheng laughed and picked up the wine bowl, saying, "The King is too kind. How can Miaomiao have anything for the princes to learn from? On the contrary, Miaomiao needs to learn from the princes."

The Quanrong King was even happier when he heard this and drank with Tian Cheng.

After the atmosphere became heated, the Quanrong King suddenly smashed his wine bowl and said, "Co-King, when do you think we should take down Great Wei?"

The room quieted down, and everyone looked at Tian Cheng.

Now that the Western Army Camp has joined the Quanrong, the Quanrong's warriors have directly increased by 120,000, almost doubling the Quanrong's combat power.

At the same time, the original balance of power with Great Wei has also been broken.

For the Quanrong King, who had long wanted to attack Great Wei, this was the best opportunity.

Before Tian Cheng could speak, he laughed.

In the midst of laughter, Tian Cheng exchanged glances with Tian Miaomiao before saying, "Your Majesty, now that Great Wei has just defeated the Xiongnu, their morale is strong. Attacking at this time will probably result in heavy casualties."

The Quanrong King frowned, pondered, and said, "What you said seems to make sense."

"Then when do you think it would be appropriate to attack Great Wei?"

Tian Cheng said, "It would be better to launch an attack after winter. Firstly, the morale of the Great Wei soldiers will decline, and secondly, after Great Wei's autumn harvest, even if we can't eliminate Great Wei in one fell swoop, we can still reap some benefits."

After listening, the Quanrong King nodded repeatedly and laughed, "Good! The Co-King is right! We will do as the Co-King says!"

A gleam of light flashed in Tian Cheng's eyes, and he and the Quanrong King began to praise each other again.

The princes were all anxious when they saw this scene.

The Quanrong King was now over sixty years old, and his energy was much worse than before.

Originally, everyone was secretly competing for the position of the Quanrong King, but the sudden addition of Tian Cheng, coupled with the Quanrong King's reliance on Tian Cheng, made the princes uneasy.

Tian Cheng was not even fifty years old yet!

Two days later, the capital received news from the Jiangnan Army Camp.

This news shook the Great Wei court.

That was 120,000 troops, accounting for a quarter of Great Wei's total military strength!

"Your Majesty, we must immediately send troops to recapture the cities occupied by the rebels!"

"The Tian Cheng family must be punished to the ninth degree of kinship!"

In the court, the ministers were indignant and clamored to recover the lost territory.

Lin Mu sat on the dragon chair, his face also very gloomy.

The Tian Cheng family had gone too far.

They had directly defected to the Quanrong with 120,000 troops.

Obviously, these 120,000 troops were already Tian Cheng's "private soldiers."

Being able to do this was obviously not something that could be done in just a few years.

It was likely that they had been planning this since the time of the previous ruler of Great Wei.

"Yao Qing, tell me your opinion," Lin Mu said.

The ministers quieted down and all looked at the new Minister of War, Yao Shouxin.

Although Yao Shouxin had made contributions in the previous battle against the Xiongnu, it was, after all, based on Lin Mu's previous pacification of the Xiongnu.

In the minds of the ministers, Yao Shouxin was capable, but he had not yet reached the height in their hearts.

The rebellion of the Tian Cheng family was the real test.

Yao Shouxin saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I think, there is no need to rush!"

As soon as these words came out, the court, which had just quieted down, became noisy again.

"Lord Yao, the Tian Cheng family has betrayed our Great Wei!"

"In addition to taking away 120,000 troops, they have also occupied two of our Great Wei's cities!"

"This is a humiliation to our Great Wei!"

"If this is not urgent, when will it be urgent?"

The ministers were indignant. If it were not for the consideration of not being disrespectful in front of the emperor, they would have rushed over and pointed at Yao Shouxin's nose to scold him.
