Capítulo 2192: Chapter 237: I Dare Not Speak Its Na_2
Under the imnse pressure brought on by Jinguo, no one can continue to wear the mask of Wentun.
This court debate is not only about their political views, but it is also tangibly about the future of Qi Country.
The conflict with Jinguo cannot be taken lightly. When going to war with the strongest nation in the world, one must consider the consequences of defeat!
The Purple Pole Hall is clamorous with voices, almost overturning the do.
One side advocates for pursuing victory and removing future troubles completely, refusing to be intimidated by Jinguo.
Another side argues that now is the ti to consolidate gains. This battle has already wounded Sumr Country, allowing us to plunder a wealth of resources for Qi, and there’s no need to push into a risky war with Jinguo.
Of course, those arguing are officials below the third rank from the Military Affairs Hall and the Political Affairs Hall.
Those at the highest tier of the Qi Country officialdom remain silent as a mountain; they will not easily express opinions until the final decisive mont.
Such disputes went on for a long ti, with no one able to persuade the other.
Because everyone has their own correctness, so truths even defy ti to offer a conclusion. History diverged long ago; who can assert that choosing differently then would be better or worse? Is there truly an “if” in this world?
Where there are people, there is division.
Amid a heated debate, Emperor Qi lifted his forefinger, tapping lightly on the armrest of the throne.
Tap tap.
Hence, the entire hall fell silent.
The silence reveals the supre authority of Emperor Qi.
Then he said, “Read them the letter Ji Fengzhou wrote to .”
Han Ling bowed his head to receive the order, unfolded the national book of Jinguo, and standing beneath the Cinnabar Steps, facing the court officials, read aloud: “To the Eastern Country Emperor: Jing and Sumr are allied nations…”
The echo of “We must also face the enemy of our brotherly nation with knife and sword!” had barely faded.
Emperor Qi had already slamd one hand onto the armrest of the Dragon Throne.
Boom!
“When the master is humiliated, the ministers must die. Do you not understand this!?”
In an instant, the ministers in the hall all knelt, not daring to speak!
“Do you know what is happening on the front lines?”
Emperor Qi asked while seated on the Dragon Throne.
His voice had cald down.
Yet his gaze fell through the seam of the Flat Sky Crown, as if through mountains and seas.
It was pressure as tangible as substance, the power of life and death.
“You see reports of victory constantly announced, hear about my Daqi’s grand power, and talk about taking full advantage. Do you know how these victories were acquired? Have you seen behind the triumphs? It’s all the blood of my Daqi soldiers!”
“What are they fighting for?”
“Sumr Country’s thirty-three-year grudge persists, showing disrespect to East Country. My Daqi’s million-strong forces venture to the Southern Territory, what do they seek?”
“To loot so resources, spill so blood, kill a few Sumr Country people?”
“The ministers here speak grandly and passionately, but who is the one fighting desperately on the front line?!”
“The ones fighting on the front lines never utter the word ‘retreat.’ Are you truly going to make that decision for them?”
“They paved the road to Guiyi City with their flesh, pulled out the thorns, and cut through the swords, so that in the future, the people of Qi can travel between the two capitals freely and smoothly. Henceforth, from the Eastern Region to the Southern Territory, there are no obstacles. From Linzi to Guiyi, it is a clear path!”
“You seek fa, success, enterprise, and overarching plans — what is the overarching plan?”
“The journey to the Southern Territory is a thousand miles, lined with bones along the way! Frontline soldiers risk their lives for success, flags dyed with blood; if I cannot even guarantee a stable rear, what kind of Son of Heaven am I?”
Emperor Qi directly stood up.
On the Cinnabar Steps, his figure was like the high skies.
Beneath the Cinnabar Steps, the ministers prostrate themselves, bowing deeply.
“Continue fighting!”
Emperor Qi waved his hand, as if deciding the clouds, determining fate—
“Even if it fights until the world grows old, the sea turns to dust, the sun and moon shift from their places, I shall support Cao Jie to fight one day longer as long as I live. We must fight until the Sumr capital falls!”
His voice soared above the Nine Heavens, echoed across the Six Harmonies, reached the supre height, and intimidated the world—
“I will plow the court and sweep the caves, annihilate the state of Sumr Country.
I will connect the Southeast, illuminate the latitude and longitude of my Daqi.
I want the world to know—
Si Yuan Ying cannot achieve hegemony, Si Jiao cannot protect Sumr Country.
Even if Ji Fengzhou makes a move, it makes no difference!”
“I!”
In front of the entire civil and military court, in front of the Dukes of Daqi, he tore off the Dragon Robe!
People gazed in shock and awe, beneath Emperor Qi’s Dragon Robe, he had already donned his battle armor!
His resolve, his will, could not be clearer, more firm and unyielding!
“I, as the Emperor of Da Qi, uphold the ambition of Taizu and the Martial Emperor, strive for the glory of a millennium, not daring to be careless for a day! I assign the military affairs of Fa Xia to Cao Jie, if Qi Country is to retreat, it is Cao Jie who should say retreat! Others saying retreat ans nothing. If another country says retreat, bring swords to et them!”
“If Jinguo truly dares to participate in the war, I shall lead the expedition myself and et Ji Fengzhou in the Heavenly Capital!”
The word of the Hegemonic State Emperor moves the winds and clouds around the world!
Jiang Shu’s stance is very tough, and the aning is clear—
Yu Que leading the Dou E Army south is rely a false bravado.
But I am willing to treat it as if it’s your Jinguo’s real intention.
Qi Country is already prepared for an all-out war with Jinguo, is Jinguo ready?
If this battle begins, it will be larger in scale than the Jing Shepherd’s campaign.
Because the Son of Heaven is pledging the entire country!
Millennium hegemony hangs upon one battle, Qi Country has such determination, does Jinguo!?
…
…
“Jinguo will not co.”
On the city gate tower where the northern wind howled, Liu Xiyi approached.
His appearance was originally that of an elderly man; it was not easy to realize God Arrives.
Now, it seems he’s aged several decades more.
