What an insult it is to break into a house and act so arrogantly!
The most important thing is that everyone present is not an idiot. They are all pillars of the country. They know the stakes.
Although the words of those messengers were not pleasing to the ears, their attitudes were also not pleasing to the ears.
But it is definitely not a child playing tricks, but a complete certainty, so that you can have such confidence!
If this war breaks out, it is really difficult to predict the devastation and consequences it will cause!
"Your Majesty, it's not like I, Da Jing, have already fought and been defeated! They are making such demands that are impossible to agree to, and they simply want to fight! Peace and prosperity are natural, but being looked down upon by others is such a big deal.
Why should Jing be afraid of war! Please dispatch the relevant soldiers and military supplies as soon as possible to prepare for the war!"
Why are you making such a request?
What qualifications do you have to make a request?
"Such requests are not only insulting. Moreover, if this precedent is set, in the future, as long as other countries want to gain some benefits from our country, they will unite with several countries and press closer to the border. Will our country have to agree to everything?
Unreasonable request?”
Immediately there was another objection.
"I don't agree with your statement, Master Gu. If these countries want to jointly go out once, it will waste people and money. How can they do it every now and then? What's more, this time there is an axis power like the Yin family in southern Xinjiang. If it hadn't been like this
The Axis Powers participated, but the other countries did not have the courage, nor the strength! Nor did they have the cohesion!"
"So, I think we can still make peace! You might as well think about it, since the other party can do this kind of thing, he is not a person who cares about reputation. Since he is not a person who cares about reputation, as for finding a master to make a name for himself,
? If they really want to start a war, why don’t they catch me Da Jing off guard? They also want to make a fuss and give us time to prepare accordingly? They are not fools! Aren’t they just giving us a chance to make peace?"
"Heh, I would also like to ask Mr. Sun how you can make peace after being slapped like this and the other party makes such a request?"
"Master Gu, you have forgotten, I just said that these countries can be united now because the Axis powers like the Yin family in southern Xinjiang played a decisive role in it! We just need to find a way to figure it out.
As far as the Yin family in southern Xinjiang is concerned, there is nothing wrong with this peace negotiation!"
"What does Mr. Sun mean by their seven inches? That child is useless! It's a joke!" The eyes of the opposing militant faction showed undisguised contempt.
"Why not? The fact that the child was brought to Dajing for medical treatment shows that he is still valued to some extent. In fact, I now suspect that the countries on the southern border are standing still, perhaps because they consider that the child is still in Dajing.
Jing. You might as well try it with the child! Even if the child can't influence this war, then, if they come here and blatantly slap me in the face, Dajing, we can also send them the child's head in return!"
Another round of arguments about war and peace.
Some courtiers were so argumentative that their faces turned red.
There are also court officials who have not said a word from the beginning to now and have been silent.
Something happened to the regent suddenly, even they who were in court every day didn't expect it.
But after the regent's accident, the border countries were afraid that they would be unstable, and they expected that.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Nowadays, the opponent's army is pressing on the border and making such impossible demands. It may not necessarily mean that Da Jing really wants to fulfill those requirements, and it may not necessarily mean that he wants to fight. After all, Da Jing's strength is not weak.
But one thing is for sure.
No matter what happens in the end, Da Jing's face will not look good.
The sun was setting outside, and the lamps were already lit inside the hall, without making any noise.
Emperor Jing did not express his position. When the sky was completely dark, he stood up.
The high-pitched voice of the eunuch next to him sounded, "Your Majesty, get up and retreat from the court~!"
A wave of courtiers sent the emperor off respectfully, and after Emperor Jing left.
There were also courtiers who did not leave immediately.
They were still arguing and arguing with each other.
There were also people arguing and discussing while walking outside.
Wang Shangshu and Mu Shilang left the palace without saying a word, and did not return to the Ministry of Justice.
Instead we went to the old local pub.
Wang Shangshu took a sip of wine and sighed, "I'm afraid this will cause chaos again."
Mu Shilang also picked up the wine, "The moment the regent's accident happened, I thought that this day would not be too far away."
Wang Shangshu sighed again.
Although the emperor didn't say anything explicitly, it was obvious that he was not willing to start a war at this time.
What can we do if we don’t start a war? Let’s make peace!
"Drink, drink!"
As for his job-oriented instinct, he felt that there were too many unreasonable things in it. He didn't want to think about it anymore for the time being.
Sometimes if you think too clearly, you will feel uncomfortable living in this world.
Being confused is a blessing.
That night, the seemingly peaceful Kyoto was turbulent.
The next day, the whole Kyoto completely changed.
The people of Kyoto, who were just speculating yesterday, suddenly became aware of the situation overnight. Even some old people who rarely go out, or children of a few years old, knew that a war was coming!
I have heard more or less about what happened in the southern border and about the envoy.
This is obviously the news released by someone with good intentions.
The purpose is to cause a certain degree of panic among the people of Dajing Kyoto.
Some people have already begun to pack their bags and want to escape, but where can they escape?
The south is not stable, and the north is not stable either.
Where to escape?
Nowhere to escape!
Just when the civil and military officials went to court early, the streets were already in chaos. The panic-stricken people had nowhere to rest.
"Will there be a fight?"
"The troops are approaching the border. Do you think there will be a fight?"
"But didn't the other party come to envoy? Didn't the envoy come just to make peace?"
"Make peace? You also listen to their terms! Send General Ling to them and let them do whatever they want. Or cede territory and pay compensation to accompany others. Which of these two demands can be achieved?!"
"We definitely can't cede territory and pay compensation! It's not like I, Dajing, have been defeated, so how could I do such a thing!"
"It's even more impossible for General Ling to let them do whatever they want. I simply don't know what to say!"
"It really can't be done, but what should we do! When the two armies are fighting, we ordinary people will suffer. Not to mention various military services and taxes, and there will be no corpses of relatives who go to the battlefield! And this time the opponent is very powerful, and our prospects may not be good...
…If the attack reaches Kyoto by then, won’t you and I have no choice but to be slaughtered and become slaves to the subjugation of our country?”
In that kind of life of being slaughtered, ruined and enslaved by others, they would rather... die!
"Don't panic! Use your brains! Didn't the other party directly hit him? He also made such an unreasonable request. This obviously has other purposes! Have you really not heard anything about it?"
"What's the rumor?"
"That's right, you should tell me what the rumor is. It's already this time, don't be out of breath when you talk!"
"Why did these countries gather? To put it bluntly, it was because the former regent and General Ling scared them! They suffered a loss, so they naturally had resentment in their hearts. Now that the former regent is gone, they feel that an opportunity has come, General Ling
A person who cares about the head but not the tail is eager to try. However, they may not dare to fight for real. After all, I, Dajing, still have General Ling. They are just trying my Dajing's bottom line, or in other words, to embarrass us.
, just looking for a place."
"If you say it, it is in vain. If the other party's requirements are not met, what if the trial becomes a reality!"
"Their demands cannot be solved, but they may not be able to settle for the next best thing. I was drinking last night and met some foreign envoys. I heard them say with my own ears that General Ling and the former regent had harmed them.
As many people as there are in the country, Ling Dajinjun and the relatives of the former regent will also be buried with them..."
What does this mean?
And now the palace.
Emperor Jing looked at the civil and military officials standing below.
"Ignoring the main station master, since they are coming to the door, and they are led by the Yin family of Southern Xinjiang, then that child should be closely guarded."
His eyes fell on the head of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment again.
"Wang Shangshu, ask the people from the Ministry of Punishment to bring Ling Jing."
