These words pierced Jin Fengluan's heart like a sharp knife. She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to refute them.

Qin Ze's voice grew colder: "My father fought for Dagan his whole life, he devoted himself to the cause. This land is vast enough, and there are many people like him."

“If you were a wise ruler, even if you were a bit stupid, you would probably have been able to sit on the throne for a longer time. But in addition to being stupid, you are also narrow-minded and jealous of the virtuous and capable. Because of this, you have driven those loyal and good people to their deaths.”

"Since I raised an army in Beiliang, I have been victorious in every battle. It is indeed because my army is brave, but the army under your command is really weak and incompetent."

"Before coming to Nanze, I had already taken the time to wipe out that treacherous island nation of Fusang. As for what you call Dagenzhisheng, what have you been doing these past few years?"

Jin Fengluan's face turned pale; this was something she didn't understand.

So, he had already destroyed Fusang after I left Jinling? If I had known this earlier, I should have fled Nanze much sooner.

Now that he already has the ability to destroy Fusang, wouldn't Nanze be as easy for him as taking candy from a baby? Jin Fengluan was filled with regret.

Qin Ze then said:

"The country was won by others. You sat on the throne and reaped the rewards. It's fine that you enjoy the fruits of others' labor, but you have no ambition and have become increasingly corrupt and incompetent. You have gathered all the resources of the world to support your Jin family."

"Now that you've fallen into this predicament, is there anyone left to lend you a helping hand?"

Before she could finish speaking, Jin Fengluan gritted her teeth and said, "It was you! It was you who issued those proclamations that tarnished my reputation! They wouldn't..."

Qin Ze interrupted coldly: "That's just because I don't want innocent people to be bullied by you and die in vain."

"You think you can rest easy by hiding in Nanze? To me, Nanze is nothing more than a piece of cake."

At this point, Qin Ze slowly stood up and continued expressionlessly:

"We're just barely hanging on here; wiping you out would be a piece of cake."

"And what I'm about to do is something that neither you nor your Jin family could do, even if you had a hundred years."

Upon hearing this, Jin Fengluan unexpectedly let out a cold laugh:

"My empire is now in your hands. You are the emperor, possessing supreme power. Yes, you can do whatever you want. Just wait, one day you will be dethroned!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ze narrowed his eyes and actually laughed.

"Yeah?"

"In truth, maintaining a country is much more difficult than conquering one."

"but....."

He stared directly at Jin Fengluan's resentful face and said calmly, "I never said that I would sit on the throne and enjoy the emperor's wealth and glory, and hold onto that throne tightly."

Then, Qin Ze waved his hand, pointing to the troops that had followed behind him:

"We're still fighting for our territory!"

"Your Jin family, you scourges, have attracted wolves and tigers who are all eyeing my Yan Kingdom covetously. They all want to come and take a piece of our land."

"It's laughable that you people fawn over them like masters, hoping they can help you regain your imperial power. In Nangang, I have already killed their leader, the foreigner."

"Next, I will not merely remain on my homeland to stop their advance, but will take the initiative and declare war on all nations!"

At this point, Qin Ze spread his arms wide, his eyes gleaming, and Jin Fengluan dared not meet his gaze.

He said in a resounding voice:

"Beyond the mountains are more mountains, beyond the seas are more seas; the world is vast! Those foreign nations entrenched overseas are all sharpening their knives, all wanting to expand their territories and become the masters of this world!"

"Our Yan Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, a land where tigers crouch and dragons coil. For thousands of years, we have been engaged in endless wars, spanning several dynasties, but this has also made us skilled in warfare!"

He clenched his fist, swung his arm, and then shouted:

"When all nations vie for supremacy, our Yan Kingdom should strike with overwhelming force and stand proudly at the pinnacle of all nations!"

"Wherever the sword points, it is invincible, unbeatable, and indestructible!"

With a loud shout, Jin Fengluan trembled, and even Hu San, who was already sitting on the edge of the field, was shocked, his eyes wide open.

Qin Ze looked down at Jin Fengluan:

“Yesterday, under your incompetent rule, this land was weak and decaying. Now, with you removed, it will soon be restored to its former glory.”

"And tomorrow..."

Qin Ze burst into laughter.

"Let those greedy wolves and tigers feel the majestic power of my Yan Kingdom!"

Sudden.

"I don't fight wars, I just want to farm," Hu San said in a low voice, sitting on the edge of the field with his head down.

Qin Ze chuckled to himself.

Seeing Hu San say this, Jin Fengluan sneered repeatedly: "Go ahead and fight, fight until the people suffer!"

"Drag everyone onto the battlefield to fight! Once everyone is dead, you can go back to your pipe dreams."

Qin Ze laughed even louder and said to Hu San:

"Old man, just keep farming!"

"Our country has been farming for thousands of years. We farmed in the past, we farm now, and we will farm even more in the future."

"I'll lead the soldiers to fight the battle. You all just need to focus on making a living and stay alive!"

Hu San kept his head down and said in a muffled voice, "War is never a good thing; people will keep dying."

Qin Ze nodded, his gaze falling on the paddy field, looking at the rice seedlings, and said:

"But it has to be this way."

“You just cultivate your land and don’t bother others, but there will always be people who will try to stop you, and even take away your harvested rice.”
