The corpse-position vegetarian meal was indeed used to describe those courtiers. As for who was being referred to as "faint and incompetent", Song Ye just didn't say it.

After hearing this, Song Que finally looked serious.

"Ye'er be careful," he said.

Song Ye then closed his mouth, but his expression was a little unconvinced.

Song Que sighed and then said: "Waging a war is not that simple, especially when facing a powerful country like Daliao."

"If we really break up with Daliao and lead to an all-out war between the two countries, the people of Jin will only live in ruins."

"If it falls into the quagmire of war, and Da Jin, who is sitting on the sidelines watching the fight between tigers and tigers, intervenes, I am afraid that Da Jin will be in danger of destruction."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Qin Xiaoyao and Song Ye changed.

But it only took a moment for Song Ye's expression to be filled with displeasure and anger.

Song Que was not angry when he saw this.

Instead, he reached out and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and continued: "There is actually no reason why Daliao committed a crime this time."

Song Ye immediately looked at his eldest brother.

"Previously, throughout the Jin Dynasty, many state capitals suffered from drought."

"Take our Hua'an Prefecture as an example. The drought we suffered is one of the most severe among all major prefectures."

"Hundreds of thousands of people fled the famine, and countless people died of starvation and at the hands of refugees and bandits."

"Our Lingquan Town was occupied by mountain bandits before. If the second prince hadn't led troops to wipe out the bandits, Lingquan Town would not be able to find peace now."

"Let's not talk about distant places. Examples like Lingquan Town in Hua'an Mansion are by no means isolated."

"And even now, not all towns have been eradicated from banditry."

"This is just Hua'an Prefecture. In the entire Jin Dynasty, there are many situations like Hua'an Prefecture."

As soon as these words came out, Song Ye quickly fell into silence.

Seeing this, Song Que knew that his younger brother had heard it, and continued: "The current Jin Dynasty can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles."

"If we fight to the end with Daliao, it will be difficult to suppress the rebellion within the country and restore people's livelihood as soon as possible."

"In addition, the imperial court spent countless money and food on disaster relief, and I am afraid it will be difficult to raise enough military supplies to support the border war."

"Da Liao invaded the country at this time, probably because they took a fancy to this, in order to take advantage of the situation and rob the wealth and population."

"If the imperial court sues for peace, Daliao can take the opportunity to extort peace money and land."

"If the imperial court takes the lead in the battle and continues to lose, the Liao Dynasty will most likely take the opportunity to destroy the Jin Dynasty."

"The latter possibility cannot be afforded by Dajin."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyao and Song Ye's hearts sank.

Especially Song Ye, whose face turned pale with fright.

He just listened to the discussions among his classmates and felt that it was very hateful that the imperial court did not act and allowed the iron hooves of Liao to trample on the territory of Jin.

Little did he know that there were so many reasons behind this war.

If what the elder brother said is true, then Dajin is really in a state of turmoil right now.

As a citizen of the Jin Dynasty, everyone, including him, was naturally afraid of becoming a slave to the subjugation of the country.

Seeing Song Ye's reaction, Song Que patted his shoulder comfortingly again.

"You are still too young. Just listen to the affairs of the government."

"Don't be easily deceived and incited to avoid causing trouble."

Empress Jia is actually quite open-minded, but that is not the case for all her followers.

Most of them are flatterers, who use this to flatter Empress Jia.

In the past few years, there have been many literary inquisition incidents.

Seeing that Song Ye didn't reply, Song Que said again: "When you are older, you can take the imperial examination and become an official, or even enter the imperial palace, you can remonstrate with the saints. Your words will naturally be listened to. It can even affect the fate and future of the country."

Song Ye's eyes were stunned.

In this way, a seed was planted in my heart by my elder brother.

After hearing Song Que's words, Qin Xiaoyao was convinced. Looking at Song Que's eyes, he was filled with admiration.

She is truly extraordinary.

Return to the Song family.

After dinner, the couple took a shower and rested early.

Then, inevitably, we talked about the hottest topic in Lingquan Town nowadays.

"After I left with the second prince in my previous life, I stopped paying attention to the situation in Lingquan Town."

"But according to the development of the war situation in the previous life, Daliao did indeed reach Hua'an Prefecture in the end."

"Lingquan Town may be attacked." Song Que frowned.

Qin Xiaoyao's face tightened.

"What should we do? We-need to move?" he asked.

Song Que shook his head.

"No need. Many places in Hua'an Prefecture are still in chaos. Leaving Lingquan Town, the road may not be safe."

"Besides, Hua'an Prefecture is a large area, and Lingquan Town is located in the hinterland of Hua'an Prefecture. It is only possible that Daliao will attack, but it is not absolute."

Qin Xiaoyao was still a little uneasy.

Perhaps the people hated the Liao army too much, and everyone described the Liao army as much more terrifying than the bandits.

Although the bandits killed people indiscriminately when they entered the city, they did not kill people randomly after that.

But the Liao army is said to have done a lot of capturing slaves and massacring cities.

In a hinterland like Lingquan Town, catching slaves and bringing them back would be too troublesome, and the probability of massacre would be greater.

Seeing this, Song Que reached out and grabbed Qin Xiaoyao's hand.

"Do not worry."

"The imperial court has sent envoys to negotiate peace with Daliao."

"By the time the Liao army arrives at Hua'an Mansion, the negotiations will basically be concluded."

"Even if the Liao army does come to Lingquan Town, they will evacuate soon."

Qin Xiaoyao nodded and moved closer to Song Que's arms.

But once again, a sense of powerlessness arose in my heart.

The last time I felt like this was when bandits entered the city.

In ancient times, she believed that she could protect her family by virtue of her supernatural powers and unparalleled martial arts skills.

But when the bandits entered Lingquan Town, she realized that when the situation came, she alone could not influence the overall situation or change anything.

Later, something happened to her husband. Although she held the leader of the bandit hostage, she later killed the second one.

But if the second prince had not stationed troops outside the city and attacked the city in time, she would not have been able to escape with her husband alone.

Next, the Liao army will really come.

If she also massacred the city and carried out indiscriminate killings, could she protect her family...

Looking up at his husband, who had already closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, Qin Xiaoyao had other thoughts in his heart.

She and her husband rejected the second prince and stayed in Lingquan Town. Is it really the best choice?

If she has someone in her hands and her husband has the power, why should she be afraid of bandits or the Liao army?

In these ancient times, in troubled times, human lives are like grass and grass.

It would be too difficult for an ordinary person to live a peaceful and smooth life...

According to the memory of Xianggong's previous life, after Daliao invaded the country, the Jin Dynasty would fall into civil strife.

It would have to wait until three years later, when the second prince took over the imperial power, and the Jin Dynasty would have decades of peace.

Can their family survive this flood safely...

Staring at the man's handsome face, Qin Xiaoyao's heart was full of nostalgia.

After watching for a while, he moved his body, stood up and blew out the lamp.

Go to bed and go to sleep.
