As for the reaction of the people present, she didn't care about them.
Think whatever you like about love, say whatever you like about love!
Just like they were sure that because of some people, she would not do anything now and could only stay in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. She still knew that even if they wanted to kill her, they would not kill her before they could "justifiably" kill her.
He won't do anything to her either.
That works.
Come on, we are disgusting with each other!
Although she is now a 'prisoner', she does not need to be shackled or anything like that. Instead, she has a special carriage.
After leaving the palace, Baili Feiyue consciously got into the punishment department's carriage.
Mu Shilang and Wang Shangshu looked at each other silently.
They also got on their own carriages.
However, when the carriage passed by Chang'an Street, suddenly, several riders came galloping towards them, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, urgent report from the border!!"
"Get out of the way quickly!!"
On the horses that were galloping forward, the post soldiers roared hoarsely. The horses underneath them did not stop at all, and the whips roared even more fiercely.
Not to mention the ordinary people who were caught off guard, even the carriage of the Ministry of Punishment had to get out of the way because it was extremely dangerous.
It took a long time for the shocked people who were almost hit by the horses to recover.
What's going on?
Wang Shangshu and Mu Shilang were both a little surprised. Urgent report from the border?
The Ministry of Punishment’s news network has not heard any news about any changes in the border areas before!
Both of them showed some caution on their faces, and went back to the Criminal Department without any further delay.
However, not long after returning to the Ministry of Punishment, the imperial edict from Emperor Jing of the Imperial Palace urgently summoned the courtiers to discuss political affairs.
When Wang Shangshu and Wang Shangshu entered the palace again, the quarrel in the court was already in full swing.
Eighty-nine times out of ten the ministers were very angry.
The armies of various countries in the north suddenly gathered and moved.
As for the entire southern border, dozens of countries have united and are eyeing the southern border, directly pressing the border with their armies!
Among them is the Yin family of Southern Xinjiang, whose strength is quite formidable!
There was endless debate among the ministers.
"It is simply unreasonable to say that they must either deal with Ling Da's advance or cede territory and pay compensation, otherwise they will march north to fight! Even if I shed my last drop of blood, I will never allow the Southern Barbarians to be so arrogant!"
"That's right! Over the years, there have been frictions in the border areas, and there have been several fights, big and small. Since ancient times, there has been no loss in the war between the two countries! Now they are jumping out together, claiming that General Ling injured them a few years ago.
How many soldiers, what kind of generals were killed, and for such a laughable reason, they proposed such a treaty that insulted our Dajing, and did such things that are intolerable to the subjects of our Dajing. How could you and others Xiao Xiaoyuan do this?
!”
He was already very angry when he said this, "Your Majesty, although the number of soldiers on our Dajing border in the south is not as good as the total number of soldiers from all countries gathered this time, they are basically vulnerable because of temporary interests.
, they are just some clowns! Please make sure to issue an order to show some color to these rabble who do not know the heights of the world!"
"Oh, it's easy for you, sir. War? If the Southern Territory moves, the entire Northern Territory will definitely not be peaceful. By then, our whole country will be plunged into the flames of war! Now, the people have just lived in peace for a few years, and the First World War is in chaos.
, the hard work of the past few years will be instantly wiped out! By then, how many families will be destroyed, and how much cultivated land will be deserted and uncultivated! Without the backing of manpower and food and grass, my situation will be in danger by then!"
"You say that, and you have to behave yourself with your tail between your legs? I go to court with great dignity, but I have to comply with the unreasonable demands of those small and small countries! This is simply ridiculous!"
"I didn't say that! Sirs, you can also see that the other party's big move is not a joke at all! But since they made the request first, it means there is still room for negotiation!"
He also looked at Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, I think this matter can be resolved through peaceful talks!"
"war!"
"Peace talks!"
Two completely different voices quarreled one after another in the court hall. The courtiers with different political views were red-faced and refused to back down.
After a long while, Emperor Jing said coldly, "Okay."
At this moment, the entire court, which was full of arguments, fell silent instantly.
Emperor Jing first looked at the two ministers from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Husbandry.
"What are the opinions of the two adults?"
The Minister of the Ministry of War stood up first and said solemnly, "After the development of the Ministry of War in the past few years, the ability and number of soldiers are in a very good state. It may not be impossible to fight with the opponent. But..."
Frowning slightly, "If all directions are moving, there will be many young generals in the military department, but not many generals who can lead the army and command the battle."
At this point, his face became even more solemn, "If they really dare to invade, I am willing to lead the troops to fight!"
The Minister of War was quite enthusiastic.
But how many ministers of the Ministry of War, who have a background in the rear, go to the battlefield in person? Who will be in charge of the various arrangements and dispatch of the soldiers, etc.?
Others have to laugh at how lacking people Da Jing is!
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance also stood up.
He talked realistically about the financial, material, and human resources of the current situation.
The general idea is that Da Jing's ability and current prosperity are not fake.
You can definitely fight with the opponent.
However, if the front territory and time are extended, a protracted war will definitely be detrimental to the overall situation.
After all, it is not one country and two countries that are in conflict now.
Even if we compare them individually, those countries are like ants shaking a tree.
However, if we stick together, ants can also eat elephants!
Dajing's strength is on par with Xiyue Kingdom, ranking first among all the countries in the world.
I can’t stand being attacked by so many people!
At the same time, he also showed that if there is a war, Hubu will definitely do his best!
After listening to the words of the two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, Emperor Jing's face became more solemn.
Someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I still believe that starting a war at this time will have many disadvantages both internally and externally. The remnant/party of the former rebel king Changsun Wuji has not yet been cleared. If a war starts, there is no guarantee that he will not jump out and become a monster. One of them is
Second, once the war breaks out, the current situation is likely to affect all sides. This loss will be too great, and our Da Jingding’s vitality will be seriously damaged.”
He mentioned Changsun Wuji.
Some ministers could not help but think that if the former regent was still here, perhaps there would be no such thing as armies from various countries pressing down on the border!
The people under the former regent were all capable generals who could lead an army to fight against the enemy alone!
After the palace coup, His Majesty now takes the throne.
There were also frequent changes in the frontier. As a result, the former regent was very arbitrary and temporarily appointed some people they had never seen or heard their names as generals and sent them to various places in the frontier. Within three months, Dajing's army was invincible.
Once the frontier was stabilized, those temporary generals left directly.
He never returned to Kyoto to revive his life, let alone be used by the imperial court.
But how can such a talent make people not itchy or afraid!
This is also one of the reasons why I was so afraid of the regent before.
How terrifying it is to have such a group of people under your command!
Although Emperor Jing's expression did not change, it was clear that he had also remembered whether the eldest grandson Wuji or the relationship behind the eldest grandson Wuju.
After saying this, the courtier who spoke felt that he had said something wrong.
He figured out Emperor Jing's thoughts and immediately tried to pull him over.
He once again said with an extremely firm stance, "Your Majesty, few people in this world want to fight. I beg you for peace! I am willing to go to the southern border for peace talks!"
"Report!"
As soon as the courtier finished speaking, a soldier rushed in and knelt down.
Only urgent reports from the army can be addressed directly to the Holy Spirit without going through layers of communication.
"Your Majesty, envoys from several countries in the southern border suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the city. They were discovered by our troops stationed outside the city and stopped. Please give us an order from your Majesty!"
What?!
This moment made most of the courtiers' hearts suddenly jump violently.
They just received the news that the army from the south was gathering to attack the border. Before they even discussed a specific method, their people actually walked to the door of their house!
This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that they don’t know until they come to the door!
From southern Xinjiang to the capital, so many towns and checkpoints are all vegetarian!
The concept of coming uninvited this time is completely different from the last time when some envoys came uninvited.
The faces of the courtiers were all kinds of subtle.
But people are already here, and not seeing them behind closed doors will make people laugh out loud.
Emperor Jing waved his sleeves and said coldly, "Since you are here to be my guest in Dajing, please come in!"
"They brought nearly ten thousand followers with them!"
The soldier reported this information again.
Nearly ten thousand people!
This is so against the rules!
Also extremely dangerous.
Of course, this deepened an invisible feeling of depression. Not only a few people, but nearly ten thousand people discovered it when they came to the door of the house!
Just as the waves in the court continued to rise again and again.
Ling Xueer happened to go to the Criminal Department to see Baili Feiyue at this moment.
This time Ling Xue'er asked to have a few words with Baili Feiyue alone, but the guards didn't mind and left space for them.
Ling Xueer approached Baili Feiyue, took out various food items from the basket and passed them inside.
