If you choose to resist stubbornly, you will risk the lives of thousands of innocent soldiers.
Which is more important, the lifelong reputation of the Ning family, or the lives of thousands of soldiers?
"Yun Zishu!" Yun Chen couldn't help but get angry after being shocked. He couldn't control his temper every time in front of Yun Zishu, "What on earth is going on with you? After the marriage between Dongyou and Dayong, the two countries
We are just a family, what do you mean by fighting and killing people all day long? You can’t live a stable life, you have to be in a mess?"
"Why does the Prince of Dayong feel like he has eaten explosives?" Lord Dongyou, the chief assistant opposite, frowned, with a bit of displeasure in his tone, "For the sake of you being my elder brother, the Queen has always been good-natured and let you go, no.
It means that Prince Yun can always be indifferent to the Queen.
Etiquette. If I remember correctly, the Empress is the only legitimate daughter of Emperor Dayong, and her brother died young. Prince Yun was not as noble as the Empress in birth, so he yelled and cursed in front of the Empress in such a dishonorable manner just because he was granted the title of Crown Prince.
?”
Yun Chen turned to look at the minister who was speaking, his expression turned pale: "I'm talking to Jiu Mei, is it your turn to interrupt?"
"Yun Chen." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "If you say one more rude word, I will have him dragged out."
"You dare?"
"Do you think I dare?" Yun Zishu raised her eyes, "Here comes someone!"
Several imperial guardsmen rushed in, and the leader turned out to be Huangfu Lingfeng, "What are your orders from the Queen?"
Yun Zishu's eyes fell on his face, and her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. When did he sneak into the Royal Forest Army?
"You guys stand aside for now. If Prince Dayong continues to roar here and disturbs the envoys from other countries, you can drag him out to quiet down for a while."
"Humble your duties and obey your orders."
Yun Chen blushed and looked at Yun Zishu with burning eyes, wishing he could rush up and teach her a lesson.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Dayong's envoy frowned and said, "There are many distinguished guests in Dongyou today, please don't be rude again."
Yun Chen gritted his teeth and glanced over the several imperial guards. He had some scruples and didn't want to be dragged away in front of so many people, which would damage his image as the crown prince of the country, so he temporarily calmed down.
"As for the purpose of your envoys coming to Dongyou this time, I have my own judgment in my heart." Sicang finally spoke, his voice was calm and calm, "I will not take the initiative to provoke a war against any country. If you want peace, I will not
It's not possible, but please remember one thing - anyone who comes to provoke me and the queen is purely seeking death, and I am equally happy to fulfill them."
"I will make amends to the emperor and the queen. I will punish myself with three cups of wine!" The Emperor of Xijiang stood up, obviously feeling threatened. Now he no longer had the airs of a king of a country. "Before, I was ignorant and speechless.
I hope that your Majesty the Emperor and the Empress will be able to forgive me for my indiscreet words."
After that, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, he immediately asked the maid to add more wine to his wine cup and drank it all without hesitation.
Just as she was about to add more wine, Yun Zishu spoke up, "The Emperor of Xijiang's apology comes a little late."
"Wha, what?" The Emperor of Xijiang was stunned.
Yun Zishu smiled apologetically: "The general Wang has been ordered to march to the west. You have no joke. It is impossible for the emperor to take back the imperial edict. I can only wrong you."
The Emperor of Xijiang was frozen on the spot. He was holding a wine cup and drinking. It was not the same if he didn't drink.
The Western Expeditionary Army has already set off, and there is no room for change?
"Once the war starts," the King of Xijiang said with an extremely ugly expression, trying to make a final struggle, "the people who will be hurt the most are the people——"
"Even if there is no war, the people of Western Xinjiang will not live a good life." Yun Zishu smiled slightly, "When the king of Western Xinjiang deducted the military salary of the border officers to build palaces and enjoy the beauty, did he ever think about the suffering of the people? Minister?
When he increased taxes on the people and gave gifts to please you, did the Emperor of Western Xinjiang ever think about the suffering of the people?"
The Emperor of Xijiang stood blankly, his face was so pale that there was no blood at all, his fat body and face were full of flesh, and he looked as helpless as a child at this time.
The ministers behind him sat stiffly, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Ningdu." The Emperor of Xijiang didn't know what he suddenly thought of. He turned to look at Ningdu on his left, "Tell me! Tell them that I did not treat the soldiers badly or the people badly. The people of Xijiang lived a good life."
Very good, they are just looking for excuses to attack Western Xinjiang, I am a wise king, you speak! I am a wise king!"
"I have nothing to say." Ning Du's tone was indifferent, revealing a bit of indifference, "The emperor is the king of a country, words are useless, what can I, a mere general, do?"
"Ningdu!" The Emperor of Xijiang's face was ashen, his eyes were cold and murderous, "What are you talking about?" Do you want to rebel?
The atmosphere in the main hall was a little depressing and uneasy, and for a while it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's eyes fell on the monarch and his ministers, their eyes subtle. However, Ning Du seemed not to notice the gazes of others, and poured himself a glass of wine, picked it up and sipped it alone.
The Emperor of Xijiang could not help but breathe quickly, wishing that he would be dragged out and beheaded, this rebellious minister!
When he returns to Western Xinjiang, he must kill all the nine Ning family members and leave no one alive!
Pei Yicheng pondered and said: "Xiao Wang has always thought that one person does things and one person is responsible. The Emperor of Xijiang is the king of a country. He is used to being praised by others in Xijiang. This time when he came to Dongyou, he could not change his behavior for a while.
We are not used to it, and we don’t have due respect for the Queen. The Emperor and the Queen will just give you a small lesson. If it really leads to a war between the two countries, it will really not be fair to the people."
The Emperor of Xijiang was humiliated by Ning Du in public, and his expression was still a bit gloomy. After hearing this, he nodded stiffly: "I did not mean to offend the Queen. I also ask for your forgiveness, and please forgive the Queen. I would like to express my deepest condolences.
I sincerely apologize to the Queen and hope that the Queen will give me a chance to express my apology."
"The queen is the most important person in my heart, and is more valuable than the country." Sicang said lukewarmly, "The most important thing in the Xijiang Emperor's heart is the country, so he has offended my queen and uses the country to make amends.
It is precisely the most appropriate and sincere way. If I use any other way to apologize, I don’t think it is sincere enough.”
Emperor Xijiang's cheeks twitched rapidly twice, and he looked at Sicang without saying a word. The expression on his face gradually changed from gloomy to pale, as white as a ghost.
Pei Yicheng and Yun Chen looked at each other with fear in each other's eyes.
"You all have come from afar, I will ask someone to entertain you well." Si Cangdan said, "My expedition to the Western Frontier has nothing to do with anyone else. If anyone is willing to come up and join in the fun, I will accompany you."
After finishing speaking, he raised his wine cup and gestured from a distance: "I would like to propose a drink to you all."
