The Fat Minister suggested, “We can send an envoy to communicate with the emperor of the Divine Feathers Dynasty, denounce their actions, and put pressure on the other side.”
“If that’s the case… then they should give us Great Wei some face.”
“Face isn’t something you can talk about, it’s something you can fight for,” Qin Jiao retorted. “When you said that, your tone sounded uncertain. Do you really think that they will give you this face?”
The Fat Minister did not know what to say because what Number Two said was not wrong. This minister was nto sure if the Divine Feathers Dynasty would give the Great Wei Dynasty Face.
After all, the other dynasty’s strength was not much weaker than the Great Wei Dynasty’s. So, why would they give face to you just because of what you said?
Seeing that no one continued to speak, Number Two first glanced at Number One.
Then, she immediately stood up.
Number Two said, “I support the Crown Princess’s decision. We must beat the people of the Divine Feathers Dynasty back. Only by beating them until they are in pain will they know that the Great Wei Dynasty is not some random cat or dog that they can come and provoke.”
“Moreover… Do you really think that even if we don’t beat them back, the other party won’t find an excuse to go all out against the Great Wei Dynasty?”
“Don’t forget that the land of the Great Wei Dynasty is very rich. The competition between dynasties is always bloody and bloody.”
“The other party can do such a thing as robbing merchant caravans and killing everyone…”
“Could it be that the other party won’t do something even more outrageous?”
When there was no one to refute or make any other suggestions.
Number Two then sat back down in satisfaction.
Number One said very appropriately, “When we go to court tomorrow, I will report this matter and this decision to Father.”
On the surface, it was said that he was reporting to Father, but in reality, Number One was asking everyone present.
She was asking them to actively promote the deployment of troops by tomorrow!
“Yes!” everyone hurriedly said in unison.
Not long after, these people began to leave one after another. In the end, only Number One and Number Two were left.
Number Two grabbed a teacup and drank a mouthful of spirit tea to moisten her parched throat.
He looked at Number One curiously and asked, “Logically speaking, you shouldn’t have taken the initiative to propose the deployment of troops normally. Why have you become so radical this time?”
Number One did not hide anything and explained, “Because we have no other choice. If we don’t want to be passive, we can only take the initiative to attack.”
Number two asked again, “So you are certain that the so-called Divine Feathers Dynasty will launch a large-scale attack on the Great Wei Dynasty in the future?”
“Do you think it won’t?” Number One did not answer this question but asked a question in return.
“Ha! If I were the emperor of the Divine Feathers Dynasty, I definitely wouldn’t let go of this opportunity. For example, if I were the sect master of a sect and found that many of the higher-ups of the sect next door had died, and the sect next door also had a lot of strange treasures…”
Number Two did not hide it and said, “Then I’ll definitely think of a way to annex that sect in one fell swoop. After all, the cultivation world is like this. Even if it’s a righteous cultivation sect, it’s still the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest.”
Number One asked with a smile, “Since you already have an answer, why are you still asking me?”
Upon hearing this, Number Two touched the back of her head.
This was a habitual action of hers.
Number Two chuckled and said, “After all, this is the first time in all these years that I have heard such radical words from your mouth. I thought that you had been possessed by someone.”
Number One gave her a slight roll of the eyes in response to her nonsensical teasing.
The next day soon arrived.
On this day, Chen Qianxue told the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty about this matter and her decision, just as she had said yesterday.
Then, the ministers on her side stood out one after another, expressing their support for the Crown Princess’s idea.
However, these ministers were still a little worried, but what surprised them was… His Majesty did not reject it.
Instead, he nodded!
In the Imperial Court, Chen Fengyin said, “Since the Divine Feathers Dynasty dares to invade the Great Wei, let them pay the price. Chang Ning, you will decide this matter. I will arrange for you to have some military power. At that time, you will have the right to mobilize the army of the Great Wei Dynasty.”
All the officials in the Imperial Court were dumbfounded.
Not only did His Majesty not reject the Crown Princess’s proposal of returning a tooth for a tooth.
He even gave military power to the Crown Princess!
This was military power!
Hiss!
Even the previous Crown Prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, who had already died, did not have the chance to touch the military power.
Now…
The first Crown Princess in the history of the Great Wei Dynasty had the military power in her hands?
This… This was unbelievable!
Even Number One was a little surprised, but she quickly regained her composure. Under the gaze of all the civil and military officials, she respectfully said, “I accept your orders!”
After the court meeting ended, on their way back, the old Granny who rarely spoke suddenly spoke.
She was speaking to both Number One and Number Two.
She said, “The Emperor is about to lose control of his cultivation.”
