One of the biggest functions of the calendar is to help people across the country farm better.
If we can't even do this, and the calendar is still the same as before, then what's the point of changing it?
Mi Yue smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite, Imperial Master. I came here this time because I have something I want to ask you."
She knelt on the mat.
Zhang Jue also sat in front of her.
He personally poured a cup of tea, placed it in front of Mi Yue, and said, "Please speak frankly, Your Majesty."
The latter no longer hesitated and said seriously, "When I was in Chu, I heard that the Taoists had a magical power that could exchange one's life for another's. I wonder if this is true?"
Zhang Jue frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty is a woman of great wealth, and her destiny is invaluable. This technique of stealing the secrets of heaven will damage your fortune and may even bring disaster to future generations, causing them to die a miserable death."
Just now, he counted with his fingers and guessed something.
Mi Yue asked, "Is there really such a technique in the world?"
"Your Highness, whose life do you want to exchange for this technique?"
"In exchange for your Majesty's life, he will soon lead the army to fight. I am worried that he will be in danger, so I want to protect him from disaster."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Zhang Jue was really scared.
In exchange for the emperor's life?
Who can change the emperor's life?
Who can bear the emperor's disaster?
For a moment, he hesitated.
Mi Yue continued, "I have already decided that no matter what the consequences are, I will bear the consequences myself.
I just want you to tell me the method of exchanging lives."
...
Kunning Palace.
Hu Ximei told Daji about Mi Yue's meeting with the emperor, and then said to herself angrily:
"After all, she's a vixen from the State of Chu, and she has no good intentions! She asked Your Majesty to lead the army in person, does she want Your Majesty to die?"
As soon as the words fell.
Daji frowned deeply and said unhappily, "Slap your face!"
Hu Ximei knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly slapped herself a few times, quite crisply.
Now, Daji felt that the movement in her belly was getting bigger and bigger.
She had a premonition that the baby might be born in the next few days.
But at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor chose to lead the army in person.
She didn't want to give birth without Ying Yuan by her side.
Thinking of this, she sighed deeply and said, "You don't have to blame Mi Yue, she is not the kind of person who would harm Your Majesty.
She agreed with His Majesty to lead the army in person because she and I both knew that since it was His Majesty's decision, no one could dissuade him.
Since His Majesty wants to do it, we, as His Majesty's women, have no choice but to support him."
Hu Ximei was still a little unhappy and said, "But, you are about to give birth, and the young lady will be born soon...
At this critical moment, she still supports Your Majesty's personal expedition, which is really disgusting."
Daji sighed again and said, "State affairs are of paramount importance. Your Majesty is leading the army in person because this invasion by the State of Chu is different from previous ones.
In the past, the imperial court could use the vast land to slowly deal with the enemy.
But that is no longer possible now. Once the enemy army invades Qin's territory, it will be exploited by those ambitious families.
Then, your majesty's efforts over the years to enhance national strength and revive the Qin Dynasty will be in vain.
Therefore, Your Majesty must lead the army in person to ensure that the enemy is kept out of the country.
As long as the enemy can't break in, I, and your Majesty's children, will be safer."
"So... Your Majesty no longer advises His Majesty not to go to war?" Hu Ximei asked.
Daji touched her belly and said with embarrassment, "Your Majesty wants to be the greatest emperor in history. As the queen, I can be of no help to Your Majesty, but how can I hinder Your Majesty?
This lady and the child in my belly will pray for His Majesty's swift and safe return."
