Empress Tantai Zijun came back to her senses and said with a heavy face, "Millions of soldiers and the entire fleet's equipment were reduced to ashes..."
"We lost this battle."
"But the main reason for the defeat is me."
"I shouldn't have trusted Zoran David so easily, leading to such a huge mistake..."
Zheng Xing got anxious when he heard this, thinking, if that's the case, then wouldn't he be blamed too?!
Because the empress suddenly fell seriously ill, she entrusted him with full authority over this war.
The Empress now says that the responsibility lies with her. Doesn't that mean that the responsibility actually lies with Zheng Xing?!
Zheng Xing couldn't accept this and said hurriedly, "Zoron David is ambitious and has failed Your Majesty's high hopes. He has also failed our expectations of him. The fault lies with him, not Your Majesty!"
The eyes of the Empress Tan Tai Zijun flickered slightly.
She understood why Zheng Xing tried so hard to help her clear herself of responsibility, because if the main responsibility lay with her, then it also lay with Zheng Xing.
We are not stupid and we all know the consequences behind every decision.
However, she knew that she could not escape this responsibility, nor did she want to escape it.
Because she was too high-profile when she was promoting Zoran David.
There was even a live broadcast that was seen by everyone in the empire, but she still avoided it, played dumb, and acted as if nothing had happened. This was too much.
She knew that as an emperor, she had to have the courage to take responsibility.
The key is that she also knows that even if she admits her mistake, there will be no real consequences.
Unlike Zheng Xing, he is the one who really has to take responsibility.
Empress Tantai Zijun coughed lightly and said, "It's settled. If I made a mistake, I must admit it."
Zheng Xing's face suddenly turned pale.
…
Soon, when the Star Network was still flooding with hot searches, the official Star Network account of the Beichen Empire’s royal family announced that it would broadcast live that evening the Empress issuing a confession of guilt to herself.
When it was time for the live broadcast in the evening, the official live broadcast room of the Imperial Royal Family was directly overwhelmed, and later they had to limit the number of people according to the network address.
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun wore a white dragon robe and a crown with twelve natural sea pearl tassels on her head, but the crown was also wrapped with a white silk ribbon.
It means dressing for mourning.
Being able to have an emperor mourn for you is the highest treatment.
The audience, who were extremely angry, suddenly became quiet.
Xia Chujian and his friends were also watching the live broadcast on the asteroid in Area 150 west of Shaofu Star.
When she saw Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun appear in mourning clothes, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately burst into tears, extremely moved. She couldn't help but feel suffocated and muttered, "... this look can move some people... I really deserve to be deceived by such a person..."
Xia Miao said solemnly: "For a soldier, being able to make the emperor show such a gesture is worth his life."
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and he said sarcastically, "Yes, the soldier only lost his life, but the emperor lost her dignity!"
Xia Miao: “…”
She was also touched just now, but after hearing what Xia Chujian said, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Huo Yushen said calmly, "The Empress is the culprit behind all this. You think your life is worth it just because of her hypocritical behavior. It seems I failed to lead you well."
Xia Miao was once a member of the elite ground team of the Special Security Bureau. Later, she was betrayed and trapped in the Southern Cross, which was occupied by the Zerg. She was rescued by Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen used to be the chief inspector of the Special Security Bureau and was Xia Miao and his colleagues' direct superior.
What Huo Yushen said actually meant that he disagreed with Xia Miao's statement.
Xia Miao also realized that deep in her heart, she still had trust and loyalty to the emperor, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
She knew that the members of their team who were betrayed to the Zerg were actually members of the royal family, or even the emperor himself!
Of course, it was the late Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan.
But how much better is the current empress, Tan Tai Zijun, than the previous emperor?
Although the late emperor framed them, he did not allow millions of people to be wiped out in the blink of an eye...
And this empress praised Zoran David so highly back then, only for Zoran David to turn around and sell the entire Purple Lord interstellar fleet to the Zerg. And she only pretended to be righteous and issued an edict of remorse?!
By doing this, does the empress really feel that her life is worth it?
Xia Miao fell into deep thought.
Xia Chujian smiled at Huo Yushen and thought that Huo Yushen understood her thoughts after all.
Huo Yushen was a little surprised by Xia Chujian's goodwill. He really felt that he had not led Xia Miao and the others well, but Xia Chujian was quite happy?
An unknown emotion flashed through his mind, but soon, both he and Xia Chujian's attention shifted to the virtual display screen in front of them.
On it, the empress Tan Tai Zijun, dressed in mourning clothes, was facing the audience of the entire empire, unfolding an imperial edict and reading out the edict of repentance herself.
"I am ignorant and mediocre, lacking in virtue and understanding. I originally wanted to emulate the governance of my ancestors and to ensure the peace of the world.
However, since he ascended to the deep palace, he listened to one side of the story and obscured the emperor's wisdom; light years away, he made a wrong judgment and destroyed the fleet.
Today, the Zerg in the South Star has not been pacified, and the interstellar armor is still cold. It is not because of the lack of help from heaven, but because I myself am stupid and ignorant, and I favor flatterers and distance myself from wise people, which has led to the failure of the imperial plan and the injustice of the generals and soldiers.
I mistakenly trusted Zoron David, and because of his eloquence, I entrusted him with the important task of the expedition.
This beast is a servant of three families. He pretends to be loyal and honest, but is treacherous and evil inside. He secretly communicates with the Zerg and falsely reports his military achievements.
It was not until the army was defeated that they realized that the strategy he proposed was actually a conspiracy to harbor evil intentions and invite wolves.
Whenever I think of this, my heart is burning with anger. I feel ashamed when I knock on the door of the Taimiao at night and feel ashamed when I stand in the Mingtang during the day.
