As for the reactions of the people present, she didn't care.
Think whatever you want and say whatever you want!
Just like they were sure that she would not do anything now because of some people, and could only stay in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. She still knew that even if they wanted to kill her, they would not do anything to her before they killed her "legitimately".
That's fine.
Come on, let’s disgust each other!
Although she is now a "prisoner", she does not need to be shackled or anything, but instead has a special carriage.
After leaving the palace, Baili Feiyue consciously got on the Ministry of Justice's own carriage.
Minister Mu and Minister Wang looked at each other silently.
They also got on their respective carriages.
However, when the carriage passed Chang'an Avenue, suddenly, several riders came running at full speed, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, urgent news from the border!!"
"Get out of the way!"
The post soldiers on the galloping horses roared hoarsely, but the horses under them did not stop at all and they whipped them even harder.
Not to mention the ordinary people who were caught off guard, even the carriage of the Ministry of Justice was extremely scared before it gave way.
After a while, the frightened people who were almost hit by the horses finally came to their senses.
This is...what happened?
Minister Wang was as surprised as Minister Mu. Urgent news from the border?
The Ministry of Justice’s news network had not heard any news of unusual movements on the border before!
Both of them showed some caution on their faces, and without delay, they went straight back to the Ministry of Justice.
However, not long after returning to the Ministry of Justice, the imperial edict from Emperor Jingdi arrived from the palace, urgently summoning court officials to discuss state affairs.
When Minister Wang and the other man entered the palace again, a heated argument was already raging in the court.
Most of the ministers were very angry.
The armies of the northern countries suddenly gathered and moved.
Throughout the southern border, dozens of countries have united together, eyeing the southern border covetously and directly sending their troops to invade!
Among them is the Southern Xinjiang Yin royal family, whose power is quite formidable!
The sound of ministers arguing with each other was endless.
"This is outrageous. They actually said that we should either punish Ling Dajin or cede territory and pay compensation, or they will march north. Fight! Even if I shed my last drop of blood, I will never allow the southern barbarians to be so arrogant!"
"That's right! Over the years, there have always been frictions on the border, and there have been several large and small battles. Since ancient times, when two countries go to war, there will always be losses! Now they jump out together, making up a ridiculous excuse that General Ling injured many of their soldiers a few years ago and killed some of their generals, and then they propose such an insulting treaty to our Dajing, and do such a thing that our Dajing people cannot tolerate. How can we fulfill your wishes!"
At this point, he was already furious. "Your Majesty, the number of soldiers on the southern border of Dajing is not as large as the total number of soldiers from various countries gathered this time. However, they are united because of temporary interests and are essentially vulnerable. They are just some jumping clowns! Please make an order to teach these ignorant rabble a lesson!"
"Oh, it's easy for you to say. War? If the southern border moves, the entire northern border will certainly not be at peace. At that time, my Dajing will be caught in the circle of war! Nowadays, the people have just lived a few years of peace. In a war, the efforts of the past few years will be reversed in an instant! By then, how many families will be destroyed and how much farmland will be left barren and uncultivated! Without manpower and food as a backup, my Dajing will be in danger!"
"You mean you should just keep your tail between your legs? I am a great king, but I am supposed to comply with the unreasonable demands of those small countries! It's ridiculous!"
"I didn't say that! You can see that the other party is making such a big move. This is not a joke at all! But since they made the request first, it means there is still room for negotiation!"
He also looked at Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, I think this matter can be resolved through peaceful negotiations!"
"war!"
"Peace talks!"
Two completely different voices were arguing in the court, and the courtiers with different political views argued until their faces were red and ears, and neither of them would back down.
After a while, Emperor Jing said two words coldly, "Okay."
At this moment, the entire court, which was in the midst of heated debate, suddenly became quiet.
Emperor Jing first looked at the two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.
"What do you two adults think?"
The Minister of War stepped forward first and said solemnly, "After several years of development, the military has shown a very good state of soldiers' capabilities and numbers. We may be able to fight the enemy. But..."
He frowned slightly, "If all four directions are mobilized, there are many junior generals in the military, but not many generals who can lead the army and command the battle."
At this point, his expression became even more solemn, "If they really dare to attack, I am willing to lead the troops to fight!"
The Minister of War is full of passion.
But how many military ministers with a strong foundation in the rear area can go to the battlefield in person? Who will take charge of the various arrangements and dispatches of the soldiers?
Others would laugh at how short-staffed Dajing is!
The Minister of Revenue also stood up.
He spoke realistically about the current financial, material and human resources situation of Dajing.
The general idea is that Dajing’s capabilities and current prosperity are not fake.
That would definitely allow us to fight against the other party.
However, if the battle line is extended in both territory and duration, a protracted war will definitely not be beneficial to Dajing.
After all, it's not just one country but two countries that are making changes now.
Although if you compare them individually, those countries are just like ants trying to shake a tree.
But, if they stick together, even ants can devour elephants!
The strength of Dajing is on par with that of Xiyue Kingdom, and can be regarded as the best among all the countries in the world.
I can't stand being besieged by so many people!
At the same time, it was stated that if there was a war, the Ministry of Revenue would definitely do its utmost!
After listening to the words of the two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue, Emperor Jing's face became more serious.
Someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I still think that starting a war at this time will be disadvantageous both internally and externally. The remnants of the former rebel king Changsun Wuji have not been cleared out. If a war is started, there is no guarantee that they will not jump out and cause trouble. Secondly, once a war is started, I am afraid that all four sides will be mobilized under the current situation. This will cause too much loss, and our great Jingding will suffer a great loss of vitality."
He mentioned Changsun Wuji.
Some ministers couldn't help but think that if the former regent was still alive, perhaps there would not be any such thing as the armies of various countries approaching the border!
The people under the former regent's command were all great generals who were able to lead troops to fight the enemy alone!
After the palace coup, His Majesty succeeded to the throne.
There were frequent changes in the border areas. As a result, the former regent was very arbitrary and temporarily appointed some people they had never seen or heard of as generals, and sent them to the border areas. In just three months, the Dajing army was invincible.
As soon as the border was stabilized, those temporary generals left immediately.
He never returned to Kyoto to report, let alone be employed by the court.
But how can one not be tempted and fearful of such talents!
This is also one of the reasons why he was so afraid of the Regent before.
How terrifying it is to have such a group of people under your command!
Although Emperor Jing's expression did not change, he obviously remembered the background connection between Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuji.
After the courtier said this, he felt that he had said something wrong.
Guessing Emperor Jing's thoughts, he immediately tried to pull him over.
He said again with an extremely firm stance, "Your Majesty, in this world, few people want to fight. I ask for peace! I am willing to go to the southern border to negotiate!"
"Report!"
As soon as the courtier finished speaking, a soldier came running in and knelt down.
Only urgent reports from the army could be reported directly to the emperor without going through various layers of communication.
"Your Majesty, envoys from several southern countries suddenly appeared outside the city. They were discovered and stopped by our garrison outside the city. Please give the order!"
What? !
This made most of the court officials' hearts jump violently.
They had just received news that the army from the southern border was gathering and approaching, and they hadn't even discussed a specific plan, but the enemy had already arrived at their doorstep!
This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that they only found out when the other person arrived at their doorstep!
There are so many checkpoints in towns from southern Xinjiang to the capital. Are they all vegetarian?
This time, they came uninvited, which is completely different from the last time when some envoys came uninvited.
The court officials all had subtle expressions.
But the person is already here, and it would be laughable to refuse him/her a visit.
Emperor Jing waved his sleeves and said coldly, "Since you are here as my guest, please come in!"
"They brought nearly 10,000 followers with them!"
The soldier reported this information back.
Nearly ten thousand people!
This is totally against the rules!
It is also extremely dangerous.
Of course, this deepened the invisible depression. It wasn't just a few people, but nearly 10,000 people came to the door to find out!
Just as one crisis after another was brewing in the court.
Ling Xueer happened to go to the Ministry of Justice to see Baili Feiyue at this moment.
This time, Ling Xueer asked to talk to Baili Feiyue alone, and the guards didn't mind and left them some space.
Ling Xueer approached Baili Feiyue and took out various food and daily necessities from the basket and handed them into the basket.
"Third sister, something happened."
