Samuel looked at Gu Yuan.
I just think it's quite ridiculous.
A dignified military general, yet he is so despicable.
He dares to do it but not to admit it, what a villain!
After she returned to Xiliang, she was punished by her father. He even confined her to her room and forbade her from coming to Chang'an. She knew that her father did this to protect her, but she didn't want to implicate Xiliang.
She couldn't say for sure what the future would hold.
But if she didn't come to Chang'an, it would be tantamount to giving Dafeng a pretext for war. The hard-won peace would be shattered. With the Liao Kingdom suffering heavy losses and shrinking, Xiliang's best option now was to expand into the grasslands and annex as much territory as possible.
Samuel knew this before he left.
Gu Yuan would find all kinds of excuses.
There is no way I would admit it.
They will be killed for breaking the agreement.
Dafeng does not want to start a war.
But more benefits are needed!
There is no solution to this problem.
There is no point in Xiliang pursuing the matter.
After all, anyone can speak just by opening their mouth.
How can we convict someone without substantial evidence?
And there is no way Dafeng would admit such a thing.
Accident, misunderstanding, not intentional...
As long as Gu Yuan bites these to death, it will be fine.
"I second the motion." Cao Du, holding the jade sceptre, sneered, "General Gu's actions were unintentional, and at the time, the two countries were at war, so it wasn't a big deal. Back then, when Prince Ning was trapped in Hulu Valley, none of his 30,000 soldiers survived. Could it be that Xiliang was also held responsible? Instead, after the two countries signed the alliance, the princess secretly assisted the Liao Kingdom in defending the city and murdered our General Dafeng. This is a blatant betrayal of the alliance!"
"This is a personal vendetta and has nothing to do with Xiliang!"
"You brought eight thousand death warriors with you, or is it a personal vendetta?"
Cao Du also refused to give in.
Gu Mingzhi stood up immediately.
"Minister Cao is absolutely right!"
"Princess, are you trying to start a war?"
Samuel looked at the ministers.
At this moment, I was so angry that my whole body was shaking.
Although she had expected it, she had not expected it to be like this.
All the ministers stood up to express their opinions.
Criticized her for trying to provoke war.
They didn't say they were doing it to help Gu Yuan.
After all, many people have grudges against the Gu family.
This is done purely for profit.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.
Emperor Feng looked at him with a half-smile.
His gaze finally fell on Ning Que.
Seeing that he remained silent, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
He knew very well what Ning Que's personality was like.
Sometimes, he is quite a sophisticated politician.
He is extremely scheming and cunning, making it difficult to guess.
Sometimes very straightforward.
Just for the sake of illusory persistence.
He doesn't care even if it offends people.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the emperor didn't call his name.
As long as Ning Que doesn't interfere, it's fine.
The ministers criticized Samur verbally and in writing.
No mercy at all.
This is the cruelty of national conflict.
I won't give in to you just because you are a woman.
There is no such thing as being gentle and considerate to women.
Because Samur represents Xiliang.
The best way is to kill you while you are sick.
Samuel looked up.
It seems the decision has been made.
"I said I was seeking revenge, but you didn't believe me."
"So, what does the Emperor want to do?"
"Everyone has their own responsibility, I will take the responsibility."
"I'm going to destroy you too!" Gu Yuan roared with his bloodshot eyes wide open: "I'll cut eighteen wounds on your face, sever the tendons in your hands and feet, and throw you into the sheep pen!"
"Shut up!"
Emperor Feng frowned and glared.
Gu Yuan, who was about to go crazy, shrank his neck.
He looked at Samuel and said calmly, "It was the princess who personally traveled to Chang'an and formally signed the treaty on behalf of Xiliang. It was clearly stated at that time that the two countries would forever remain friends and non-aggression partners. All past grievances were written off and forgotten. But the princess, out of personal vengeance, assisted the Liao Kingdom in harming our General Dafeng. Do you think that a personal vendetta can erase Xiliang's ties?"
Samuel blushed.
I am at a loss at this moment.
She didn't understand what she had done wrong.
She was just seeking revenge.
Ning Que sighed softly.
All I can say is that Samuel is too naive.
She actually had a lot of options.
But she chose the stupidest one.
For example, the King of Xiliang could send envoys to Chang'an.
Just say that Samuel has committed suicide.
There is nothing much to say about such a great honor.
When Ning Que let her go, he hadn't expected her to return to Chang'an. But Samuel was too straightforward. She believed she had done nothing wrong and that even the Dafeng people were reasonable.
But this matter involves too much.
It has risen to the level of national honor and disgrace.
It’s impossible to tell right from wrong at this point!
For the sake of profit, Samuel must also take responsibility!
Finally, Ning Que stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"Um?"
Emperor Feng frowned.
Staring at Ning Que, his eyes gradually turned cold.
Logically speaking, Ning Que was in charge of the negotiations at that time.
This time, Ning Que was bound to make a statement. However, the Emperor Feng had guessed something from his appearance, so he didn't intend to let him come forward.
"What does Prince Ning want to say? Think it through."
"I understand." Ning Que stood up and raised his hand, saying seriously, "Since the signing of the alliance between our two countries, we have been exchanging resources in Jiuquan, benefiting the people of both countries. Discussing right and wrong now may damage the diplomatic relationship between the two countries."
"Then my son's injury was in vain?"
Gu Mingzhi was furious.
Ning Que simply glanced at him and said calmly, "You know exactly what your son is like. Some things are so heavy that even if you weigh them, they still can't be stopped. So I think it's best to leave it at that."
