"We have thought of a very good candidate for you, the beloved daughter of General Ling, the favorite concubine of the Regent. Her name is Ling Jing. If His Majesty the Emperor can kill her in front of thousands of people, our Lord will be willing to withdraw our troops!"
In fact, the court officials had already heard this rumor in the past two days.
This seemingly inexplicable request is actually their most likely goal.
After all, the previous two requests were something that Dajing could never do.
Generally speaking, the other party will make impossible demands and then settle for the next best thing.
They may not be targeting the former Regent and General Ling, their real goal must still be Dajing.
But even if the regent is gone, Dajing’s strength is still there.
They won't dare to lead their troops all at once, nor will they be able to fall apart all at once.
Then, Ling Jing's identity is indeed crucial.
It’s thanks to these countries that they came up with this idea!
Although the person killed was Ling Jing, it had a greater impact on Dajing than directly killing General Ling!
Of course, there are also people who think the opposite.
Although Sha Lingjing Dajing was slapped even harder in the face, many peace advocates were inexplicably motivated.
I think this method may not be unfeasible...
The envoys looked at the court officials with smug expressions.
Without the Regent Dajing, the court officials of Dajing would be nothing more than this.
He is willing to give up a woman so easily.
Give it up, give it up, their goal has been achieved!
After leaving these words that disturbed everyone's minds, the envoys walked away again with no one in their eyes.
The entire court was eerily silent.
Lord Sun, who advocated peace earlier, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the words of these foreign envoys are naturally bold and rude. However, I think the method they finally proposed is not a bad idea."
"It's not that I agree with them, but Miss Ling San committed a crime and should be executed! Since she should be executed, then if she dies with a guilty conscience and can still make contributions to the country, it would be a worthy death!"
"Nonsense! Even if Miss Ling deserves death for her crime, this is not the right time to do it! If she is killed under such pretext, not only General Ling, but all the soldiers on the border will be disheartened!"
"Not only that, the former regent was also guilty. But after his death, the woman who had married him was killed in this name. What will the people of the world think? What will his remnants think? Have you ever thought about it!"
"The other party's request seems to be a step back, but it is much more far-sighted than the previous two! By then, even if they withdraw their troops, our Dajing will no longer be impregnable. I'm afraid it will begin to collapse from the inside! In a few years, they don't even need to unite the countries. I'm afraid any one or two countries will be able to flatten our Dajing!"
"What a joke!" Lord Sun objected immediately, "Lord Gu, why do you always complicate simple things? Why do you make ordinary things serious? Ling Jing has committed a capital crime. Even if she didn't commit a crime, as a Dajing person, as a lady of the general's mansion, as a woman, she has the opportunity to contribute to the country, which is a blessing she can't even ask for!"
"How come it becomes such an alarmist thing when it comes to you?"
Facing Emperor Jing again, "Your Majesty, it's just a matter of name. I think Miss Ling San can be killed!"
"Heh, if Miss Ling is killed, can you guarantee that the other side will retreat?"
"Master Gu, you should use your brain. The other party just wants to embarrass our Dajing! Let them vent their anger for being at a disadvantage for all these years. You also said that they are still afraid of our Dajing's strength. Killing Ling Jing may indeed have some impact on the morale of the army, but the time during this period is enough for us to rebuild the morale of the army, enough for us to prepare and strike back and catch them off guard!"
Emperor Jing said nothing.
Lord Sun and Lord Gu had a fierce argument.
There are still some who haven't spoken yet.
Just when the dispute was getting out of hand, someone came to report that Concubine Hui and Princess So-and-so wanted to see them.
Logically, it is not convenient for them to come to the court because of their identities.
Emperor Jing said expressionlessly, "Announce."
Soon, a group of women walked in.
The one at the front is Imperial Concubine Hui, followed by the Miss Lings who married out of the Ling Mansion, and the various princesses now.
"Your Majesty, I am asking for an audience despite the rules, but I have something to say."
"I once again request Your Majesty to order the execution of Ling Jing!"
The Princesses of Ling at the back kowtowed together and said, "I beg you, father, to order the execution of Ling Jing!"
Concubine Hui continued, "Since Ling Jing returned to the capital, she has been scheming and malicious, causing numerous disasters and putting the General's Mansion in a situation where everyone despises her. Not only that, she also harmed the heir to the throne twice! Moreover, during the execution of the treacherous Changsun Wuji, she fell in love with him, and afterwards she spoke rudely to General Ling and the Emperor many times."
"I am her biological aunt, so I have no choice but to make this painful decision. Ling Jing, you must not stay! This is for the sake of my brother's reputation, for the future of the general's mansion, and she deserves it!"
The Princesses of Ling also stood up and mentioned various crimes that Baili Feiyue could commit.
I request that this person who is disloyal, unfilial, and unjust and who has brought discredit upon the General's Mansion be killed.
In history, there was a case of calling a deer a horse. Is that ridiculous?
Of course it's ridiculous.
Just like now, when this group of women appeared, their attitude and words were abrupt?
Of course it’s abrupt!
But everyone understands what the superiors mean.
Not only do those foreign envoys want Third Miss Ling dead, but the current Emperor cannot tolerate her!
Therefore, these seemingly absurd, ugly, and inexplicably dramatic scenes are perfectly reasonable.
Everyone knows a lot of things, but just because you know doesn’t mean you can tell them.
As a result, some people immediately changed their minds.
"Your Majesty, Ling Jing's crimes are indeed too numerous to list. We request that you punish her according to her crime!"
Regardless of the thoughts of some of the standing court officials, Minister Wang closed his eyes.
I let out a long, helpless sigh in my heart.
There was no sign of fluctuation in Minister Mu's expression.
So, but not until the evening.
The people of Kyoto had no idea where the news first came from.
In short, most of them rioted.
Only a very small number of people, remembering the kindness of having been vaccinated before, stayed indoors and participated.
Most of them were on the streets, all with angry looks on their faces.
They flocked in groups to government offices and other places.
He kept shouting slogans all day long, "Kill Ling Jing!"
"Kill Ling Jing!"
Why kill?
Ling Jing plotted to murder the royal heir!
When the Regent was alive, Ling Jing and he did many evil things to other countries in private, so people took revenge after the Regent died!
Come and vent this anger.
This war that is on the verge of breaking out is caused by this disaster!
She was also the one who caused all the internal fights in the General's Mansion!
She is here to destroy the General's Mansion and bring disaster to Dajing!
Unjust?
How can it be unfair?
Well, even if it's unjust, so what?
Killing a woman can keep peace and avoid war. So, what does the death of a woman matter?
