Zhao Huan remained calm and said, "My dear minister, you are overthinking things. You are all my loyal subjects. With you all here, I have nothing to worry about."

All the ministers present took the opportunity to declare: "We are willing to go through fire and water for the Holy Emperor."

Seeing this, Li Yanjing quickly said, "Your subject is willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty."

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "I am very pleased with Minister Li's loyalty to the emperor and the country. With Minister Li's sincerity, what do I have to fear?"

Li Yanjing felt like she had a lot of alpacas running around in her heart.

What's wrong with this emperor? Why does he always act unpredictably?

The group followed the emperor out, exited the north gate, and, under the cover of night, arrived five li outside the north city.

Zhao Huan couldn't help but say, "This place is right here, the very heart of the former Tang Dynasty's Chang'an. Back then, the territory of China extended deep into Persia, and envoys from all over the world came to gather in this Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor."

The ministers immediately understood that the emperor was trying to put pressure on them to work.

Look at the former Tang Dynasty, there was no Tangut rebellion, and their territory even reached as far as Persia.

Shouldn't we eliminate the Tangut rebels sooner, so that all nations from all corners of the world can worship me just as they worshipped Li Shimin and Li Longji in the past?

Sun Bangyuan immediately said, "The Holy Emperor is the ruler of all under Heaven, governing the land on behalf of Heaven. The Dangxiang barbarians are nothing but clowns. I hereby swear that if I do not defeat the Dangxiang barbarians within three years, I will bring my head to face you!"

The emperor exclaimed, "Excellent! Minister Sun is truly a pillar of the Song Dynasty!"

Are you kidding me!

Your Majesty, when you summoned me to the capital city of Tokyo last time to discuss important matters in the Northwest, didn't you already set out a three-year strategy to annihilate the Dangxiang?

I'm just using this to show my loyalty, and I know that Your Majesty needs me to do this in front of them.

Sure enough, when the strategist expressed his determination, everyone else immediately made bold statements.

Before long, a scout came to report: "A cavalry force is rapidly approaching this direction."

P.S.: Sakura, I don't know if you can see this, but you left the QQ group yesterday. The QQ group has changed a lot, and everyone is hoping you'll come back.
