official residence.
study.
The declaration of war was sent over from the imperial capital, with a deadline of only three days. Zong Zhengchen convened a meeting to listen to everyone's opinions.
Everyone agrees that:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to fight this battle."
Once a war breaks out, the number of casualties will be counted in tens of thousands, and the number of trampled houses, civilians killed, and broken families will be countless.
Try not to use force if things can be resolved peacefully.
Vice Admiral Wang said:
"The Second Miss is the biological daughter of the Emperor Li. It is legitimate for him to take his child back. It is only natural for father and daughter to be reunited. It is only natural for blood to bind and kinship to each other. If we forcibly separate our flesh and blood relatives, we will be despicable."
Nearly 80% of the people on both sides of the conference table nodded, thinking that this made sense.
It is only natural for Emperor Li to take his daughter back.
From a moral and logical point of view, no matter from what perspective, they should not forcibly seize the daughter of the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, this battle really cannot be fought."
Another lieutenant stood up and said,
"Every war involves the people, livelihood, economy and property. The impact is too huge. Besides, we are the one who is not right."
“The people will not support us.”
Prince Chen not only robbed someone's daughter, but also caused countless deaths and injuries to the people, making their lives miserable.
If a war really breaks out, the people will be disappointed in King Chen.
Right now, the Dongling Kingdom is in turmoil, and neither Emperor Li nor Prince Chen has completely established their foothold. If the people are not united, it will be easy for the country to collapse.
Cold wind whispers:
"Master, although the Second Miss is very important to the princess, if the Second Miss alone causes the tragic deaths of soldiers, the destruction of civilians' homes, the piles of corpses, and the rivers of blood, that is...too wrong."
The people will follow and support King Chen only if they trust him.
If Prince Chen does something that disappoints everyone and loses the support of the people, the people will turn against him and side with Emperor Li. Then, the situation will collapse and Dongling Kingdom will truly become Emperor Li's world.
Han Ying pursed her lips, and from the perspective of the overall situation, she said:
"Master, don't let the people down. The people's hearts are very important!"
Everyone thought that it was wrong to forcibly take the emperor's daughter away.
The best policy is to return the children, avoid war, and protect people's livelihood.
Zong Zhengchen sat in the main seat, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, his eyes heavy and solemn, his fingers tapping the table from time to time, no one knew what he was thinking...
Qin Ye heard all the conversations in the study.
She stood at the door holding a cup of tea, neither going in nor leaving, just listening quietly.
Lower your eyes.
Leave quietly and silently.
Back to the backyard.
The three children were together, getting along harmoniously and happily. When they saw her coming, they all rushed to shout:
"Mother~"
"mother!"
Three tender little faces and three crisp voices, so lovable.
Qin Ye put the cold tea on the table and went over to hold the child.
"Xier, Ziye, Luqin, be good." Squatting down and sitting cross-legged on the thick blanket, the three children hurriedly climbed into her arms.
The three heads moved back and forth, and the soft touch felt like caterpillars.
Xiao Wu stood by and sighed tiredly:
"Princess, when you are not around, they crawl everywhere and I can't stop them. When you come, they are very well behaved."
Sure enough, no matter how old the child is, he only listens to his mother.
Only a mother can tame him.
Qin Ye pursed his lips and smiled.
Looking at Lu Qin, thinking of what he heard in the study...his heart slowly sank a little, and his expression became a little solemn.
Just now, when she went out to the street with Jun Luoyuan, she saw people running around, some carrying bags, some holding children, some moving, and some elderly people who were too old to walk...
It was like this before the fight even started.
I can’t imagine how tragic and bloody it would be if the war really broke out.
Deer Scutellaria baicalensis...
Her children...
“Oh no!”
At this time, a maid ran in screaming, her face anxious and sweating.
"Princess, this is bad! Just now when I was accompanying Miss Yunying to buy fabric, a few vicious men suddenly appeared and took her away!"
