The Empress Tan Tai Zijun pursed her lips.
Queen Mother Li Fengen continued, "He was also the Supreme Commander of the Interstellar Fleet back then, and he didn't have to fight on the front lines. But why did he... die on the battlefield? And he died after a great victory!"
The argument between the Empress Dowager and the Empress was not loud, but not quiet either, and everyone in the Qinzheng Hall could hear it.
The military's Chief of Staff, Rong Tui Di, immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is right! Your Majesty cares deeply about the people of the Empire. Declaring war on the Zerg is understandable and a blessing for our generation."
"But the front line is still too dangerous!"
"Especially on the front lines fighting the Zerg!"
"Although our Beichen Empire hasn't officially started fighting the Zerg yet, we've fought many battles with them on the front lines..."
"Also, we have intelligence from the Special Security Bureau's field agents coming from the Southern Cross."
"Zerg, not humans."
"Fighting them is a fight to the death!"
"The brutality of this war surpasses any battle humanity has ever fought!"
"Your Majesty once fought a small skirmish with the Zerg on the front lines of Shaofu Star... You know the brutality of the battlefield."
"If Your Majesty leads the army in person, the Zerg will see an opportunity and might even send in their higher-level Zerg to wipe them out. Our Beichen Empire will be leaderless!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Then, the Cabinet Chief Quan Juntai also said: "Your Majesty, the Chief of Staff is right!"
"Your Majesty has been diligent in governing the country since he ascended the throne. This is a blessing for our empire!"
"Your Majesty dares to declare war on the Zerg. It is a blessing for mankind!"
"The empire cannot do without an emperor like Your Majesty who has such a broad mind and ambition!"
"Your Majesty, please trust our soldiers! They will charge forward for the Empire and wipe out the Zerg!"
"Your Majesty does not need to lead the army in person. Your Majesty only needs to plan and strategize, and you can win the victory light years away!"
Xia Chujian stared at the Cabinet Chief Quan Juntai in astonishment...
I never expected that Quan Juntai, who was born into the family of the four most powerful nobles and was also the father of the heir to the Grand Duke, could be so eloquent in flattery!
This flattery is unprecedented and will never be repeated!
Who says nobles have bones and backbones...
As long as necessary, the bones of the nobles can be soft.
Even the backbone of a noble can bend.
They are just a group of people who are more aware of the current affairs than ordinary people!
Xia Chujian thought to herself that even if Aunt She's entire treasury of gold was placed before her, she wouldn't be able to say such flattering words...
The most I can say is, "Aunt, may you enjoy eternal happiness and a long life!"
I don't take it seriously once I hear it.
Second, if you don't flatter someone sincerely, the person being flattered will certainly not feel the comfort and sincerity.
Therefore, she still has a lot to learn from these old hands in terms of social skills!
Xia Chujian decided to correct his attitude, listen carefully, watch carefully, and carefully study the art of flattery.
In fact, she was not the only one who thought so. Many people in the Qinzheng Hall were looking at Quan Juntai in surprise.
They all thought that, given the Quan family's entanglement with the throne, the fact that Quan Juntai did not make things difficult for the empress was the result of the empress's good deeds in her previous life.
Unexpectedly, Quan Juntai turned 180 degrees and knelt down, making it impossible for those who wanted to support the Quan family to do so.
At this moment, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Justice, both of whom were from the Li family, immediately stepped forward and said at the same time, "Your Majesty! We second the motion!"
"Your Excellency's words make sense! I hope Your Majesty will reconsider them!"
The president of the Senate, also from the Li family, followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
He added, "Even if Your Majesty wants to lead the army in person, he can just go to Shaofu Star to take charge."
"As for the front lines, we should wait until His Majesty's Bat Fighter is repaired before making any plans."
When he said this, even the chief minister of the cabinet, Quan Juntai, glanced at him secretly.
After all, old ginger is spiciest!
This old bastard is really good at flattery!
One of the only two bat-type fighters in the Beichen Empire that can perform space jumps is now broken.
According to the academicians of the current Imperial Academy, the bat fighter that was destroyed by the previous emperor, Tan Tai Hongyuan, is beyond repair...
The previous emperor, Tan Tai Hongyuan, had originally planned to ask Huo Yushen to take the bat fighter belonging to the Special Security Bureau for his own use.
Unfortunately, before he could issue the order, he was assassinated.
Now the Speaker of the Senate brought up the old words again, which also reminded Tan Tai Zijun.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke, "We really need to expedite the repair of the Batfighter. Without it, I can't move forward."
"Well, I will consider your opinions carefully."
"No matter what, our Beichen Empire must officially declare war on the Zerg!"
"We can't pretend they don't exist anymore!"
"I will immediately order someone to draft an edict declaring war on the Zerg!"
The people below looked at each other and felt a little uneasy.
They are the ones who belong to the top of the imperial pyramid.
They all knew how brutal the war with the Zerg was!
The army of the Southern Cross Principality was once more powerful than their Beichen Empire, and it suppressed them for many years.
Although Huo Yushen later led his troops to break through the country's borders, it was just a victory.
Before that, the Principality of the Southern Cross was pressing forward step by step, and the Beichen Empire was constantly retreating, until only five habitable planets were left!
But such a powerful country was completely wiped out by the Zerg overnight!
The entire Principality of the Southern Cross has become food and gestational mother for the Zerg.
