Once upon a time, this scene felt so familiar.
A few years ago, it was also in the imperial palace.
When the State of Chu invaded, the ministers were at a loss as to what to do, and countless people advocated moving south.
And now, those voices are coming out again.
It seems that nothing has changed.
but!
Today's Qin is no longer the Qin of yesterday!
Cai Jing, the head of all officials, slowly turned around, looked at the ministers, and said sternly:
“I believe that you will all be united in your hatred of the enemy and overcome the difficulties together with the country.
But when I heard your words and actions, I was really disappointed. Could it be that even now, you still haven't straightened your backs?
Still thinking that as long as you can stay in a remote corner, you can be safe? Or, kneeling before the enemy and praying for temporary peace?
These words were like poisonous thorns, piercing deep into the hearts of the ministers.
yes.
Last time, they wanted to survive, but what was the final result?
It only led to the Chu State becoming even more aggressive.
From the beginning to the end, they had no intention of letting everyone survive.
Cai Jing was already very old.
My back has been unable to straighten up for a long time.
His hair has turned gray.
However, his eyes still looked powerful.
"I am now almost seventy years old, and I don't know when this hunchback started to appear.
However hunched my old back may be, I know the backbone of the nation cannot be broken. You must always remember that you are all Qin people.
If the Qin State is destroyed, how many of you officials in the imperial court will be able to escape punishment?"
Cai Jing said this, turned around again, looked at Daji, bowed slightly and said:
"Your Highness, Cai Jing, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin State, requests the two saints to recruit soldiers to fight the enemy!
From today onwards, anyone who dares to talk about moving south or asking for peace will be killed without mercy!
Anyone who colluded with the enemy and abandoned the interests of his country and family will be killed without mercy!
The so-called two saints refer to Ying Yuan and Daji.
An emperor and an empress, collectively known as the Two Saints.
When the ministers heard his words, they understood.
The Prime Minister was determined to fight the enemy to the death.
Daji slowly stood up and said in a resounding voice: "Your Majesty once said that the Great Qin...
No marriage alliance, no compensation, no tribute, the emperor guards the national border, and the monarch and his subjects die for the country!
I hope that before Your Majesty makes a decision, no one will dare to speak out about the national crisis.
As Prime Minister Cai said, anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
Cao Cao was the first to express his stance, bowing solemnly and saying, "I swear to stand with the Great Qin!"
As soon as the words fell.
There was no other sound in the entire court hall.
All the ministers bowed and said in unison: "We wish to stand with the Great Qin!"
Then.
Xuanzheng Hall.
The six ministers, the left and right prime ministers, the chief censor, etc. gathered here.
Daji looked at them with a stern gaze and whispered, "I just want to ask you, is there no other way now except to fight to the death?"
As soon as the words fell.
Everyone fell silent.
Seeing this, Daji sighed.
Originally, under the leadership of Ying Yuan, the Qin Dynasty could gradually become stronger.
However, other countries simply do not give them the opportunity to develop quietly.
Cai Jing bowed and said, "Queen, you should know clearly that this war was not initiated by our Qin State.
The two countries of Jin and Chu made such a big show with only one purpose, which is to destroy our Great Qin.
Now that things have come to this, I, your servant, can find no other way except to fight to the death and have a glimmer of hope of survival."
Daji nodded, glanced at Cao Cao, and asked again:
"The King of Wei is the most knowledgeable about military strategy here. If our Great Qin declares war on the Jin and Chu states simultaneously, how confident are we of victory?"
If an ordinary woman encountered such a big problem, she would only think about how to survive.
Or, how much of the territory of the Qin Dynasty will be occupied by them.
But what she was thinking about was how to win.
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "If we announce to the world that all citizens are soldiers, I think we might have a 30% chance of success!"
Thirty percent?
Hear this voice.
The other ministers all took a deep breath.
This winning rate is too low!
If we have about 40% to 50% of our strength, we might be able to fight the enemy.
But now it’s only 30%, how can we fight it?
However, to their surprise, Daji nodded with a hint of satisfaction and said:
“Thirty percent… is enough for my Great Qin to fight once!
His Majesty should have known about this by now.
As soon as Your Majesty receives any news, I will immediately announce it to the world, mobilize the entire nation, recruit soldiers, and fight the enemy to the death! "
After a pause, she continued, "Gentlemen, whether you will be slaves of a conquered nation or ministers of its revival depends on this battle.
This palace hopes that you can share life and death with His Majesty, this palace, and the Great Qin!"
At this moment, she showed unprecedented courage.
She had already made plans in her mind.
If that day really comes.
The Qin Dynasty will be destroyed and its people will be exterminated.
Then, she would follow her Emperor and die together.
"Please rest assured, Queen, we will do our utmost to help our country overcome this crisis!"
Cai Jing had just finished speaking.
The others bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Queen, we are willing to face the national crisis together!"
The crisis that Daqin faces this time is much greater than the last time.
Hangu Pass.
City Lord's Mansion.
Outside the room where Ying Yuan lives.
