"Your Majesty, this time the nomadic tribes from the northwest came in force and invaded our border with Lanyu. They were even so arrogant that they captured several cities on the border. I am bold. In my humble opinion, this time is really different from three years ago. They
This time the ambition seems to be greater, the preparations are more complete, and their leader is even more wise. Therefore, I boldly ask the emperor to go to war!"
What Bai Muji said was sincere and his analysis was very reasonable. Now the situation is indeed one of war.
Xiao Jingzhu looked solemn and did not answer immediately. The hall was very quiet for a while, and all the ministers held their breath, waiting for the empress sitting on the dragon throne to speak.
Bai Muji knew that this matter was of great importance. After all, it was a peaceful and prosperous time. Since the empress ascended the throne, the national treasury has become increasingly rich, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is peaceful and peaceful.
If we go to war now, we will definitely break this temporary peace and contentment, and both the people and the economic strength will be greatly reduced.
Who, after getting used to a good life, would think of fighting a war to destroy this originally good life?
She is the king of a country, and she considers not only herself, but the people of this huge Lanyu Kingdom. Therefore, her words may seem to have the most weight, but in fact it is also very difficult for her.
The heart of a king is as deep as the sea, and accompanying him is like accompanying a tiger. Especially for matters related to the fate of the country and the safety of the people, she, a fledgling child, naturally does not need to say much.
However, after a moment of silence, Xiao Jingzhu raised her eyes to Xiao Tiange and said in a soliciting tone:
"What's Shengping's opinion on this matter?"
In this hall, there are many people who are more knowledgeable and older than her. It can be said that she is the least experienced in political affairs.
After all, she had not been here long. Moreover, Xiao Jingzhu had always asked her to listen on the sidelines before, but he had never asked her opinion on such a major matter like today.
While she was flattered, she also felt a cold sweat in her heart.
This hot potato was thrown away by everyone, but she was the only one to pick it up. From the corner of her eye, she could see that all the ministers were relieved, and at the same time they couldn't help but look a little gloating towards her.
Those who are gloating about misfortune today are waiting for me. I will definitely make you look good in the future, just like a bunch of wallflowers.
Xiao Tiange thought bitterly, but the man had already walked out. Although he was only thirteen years old now, he already looked like an adult, with a tall figure and outstanding temperament.
Bai Muji is her master, and she is not so arrogant as to go against her master. After all, someone who even Xiao Jingzhu asks for advice must have an extraordinary status in the court. To put it bluntly, she is just a useless person at this time.
He is just a rookie with no achievements, no power, and no military exploits.
"My dear mother, I know that my qualifications are still relatively low, but in my opinion, these nomadic tribes from the northwest have frequently invaded our border with Lan Yu. This time they have even fought violently. We are well prepared. If we let them go, they will definitely be killed.
They think that our Lan Yu Kingdom has no generals to go to war, and that our Lan Yu Kingdom is like a soft persimmon that is easy to bully, so in my humble opinion, it is a war!"
With no military exploits and no achievements, is this a good opportunity?
"If the mother emperor can trust my son, I will be brave and ask the mother emperor to send my son to fight, so that the nomadic tribe will know that my majestic Lan Yuguo is not a soft persimmon to be pinched!"
Xiao Jingzhu didn't say anything, but Lin Fengxia on the side laughed out loud:
"Haha... My Sixth Princess, do you think going to the battlefield is just for fun? All cats and dogs can go there?"
Lin Fengxia's words showed her contempt, and she also scolded Xiao Tiange, but Xiao Tiange has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will retaliate.
Xiao Tiange turned around and looked at Lin Fengxia, who was half a head taller than her. This person was Lin Di's sister. She always looked above her head, was arrogant and arrogant.
She didn't show any angry look, on the contrary, she smiled faintly. This smile, in her eyes, was particularly stunning, but it also made her feel chilly.
"Of course I won't play. Besides, I also said that I am going to fight. Of course, in General Lin's eyes, I am just a yellow-haired girl, a child with no hair. On the contrary, General Lin
But he is General Zhenyuan with outstanding military exploits. So, if General Lin doesn’t dislike it, can he be the commander-in-chief of this army?”
Pushing the boat along with the current and pulling this old woman Lin Fengxia into the water is exactly Xiao Tianci's purpose this time.
When it comes to power and prestige, even though she is a little kid, she is indeed not as good as Lin Fengxia. Lin Fengxia felt quite proud in her heart and had a proud smile on her face.
However, Xiao Tiange sarcastically said in her heart that if she hadn't wanted to use her, she could have killed her just by saying "cat and dog".
Her tone implied that she was Ah Mao and Ah Gou, so what had Xiao Jingzhu become, sitting on the dragon throne at this moment? Wasn't she Ah Mao and Ah Gou's mother?
No matter how arrogant Lin Fengxia is, she still knows how to be modest in the hall, but the look on her face has already given away her overwhelming arrogance at the moment.
"I sincerely request my mother to allow me to join the battle with General Lin this time!"
Xiao Jingzhu paused for a moment, unable to hide the joy on his face. After all, in Xiao Tiange's generation, no princess or prince had ever taken the initiative to request a battle.
At Xiao Tiange's age, it really made her extremely happy to have such courage. At the same time, the idea of Lan Yu having someone to succeed her suddenly arose spontaneously.
The love for Xiao Tiange in his heart couldn't help but grow even more. Bai Muji's eyes were filled with light, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
How could the look on Xiao Jingzhu's face escape the eyes of an old fox like her? So, she exerted her meager strength and gave him a push.
"Your Majesty, it's rare that Her Royal Highness Princess Shengping understands the righteousness so well and takes the initiative to ask for help. I hope your Majesty will do it!"
Now that Taifu Bai had opened his mouth, the ministers did not dare to neglect. Naturally, they all followed suit. Even the emperor's and empress's party members headed by Lin Fengxia also agreed.
Just because of Xiao Tiange's words just now, it really made Lin Fengxia feel happy. The majestic princess of Lan Yuguo actually voluntarily came under her control and strongly recommended her as the commander-in-chief. How could she be unhappy and not support it?
Xiao Jingzhu sat on the dragon chair and looked at the people below speaking together for Xiao Tiange for the first time, and the joy in her heart was self-evident.
She even regards Xiao Tiange as the new master of Lan Yuguo in the future. Of course, as a monarch, how can these thoughts of her be easily observed.
Firstly, Xiao Tiange is still young and needs more training. Secondly, if others know that she wants to make her the crown prince, Xiao Tiange's situation will be very dangerous.
However, the fact that there was a successor still made Xiao Jingzhu happy. Looking at the people below, he couldn't help but smile:
"It is rare that all the ministers and families are so united. I am deeply gratified. Since everyone strongly recommends Shengping, then I will comply with your wishes and let Shengping go to war!"
Lin Fengxia couldn't hide the joy on her face, and was about to step forward to thank her, but Xiao Jingzhu's next words made the smile on her lips finally turn stiff.
