Chapter 447 The Three Grand Ministers Launch an Attack!
What's the difference between this and making Da Zhou confess to murder?
"Your Moon Kingdom is going too far!"
"They're really pushing their luck!"
"We, the Great Zhou, absolutely cannot agree to such conditions!"
The Yue Kingdom envoy was arrogant: "If you don't agree, then wait for our Yue Kingdom to cut off your Great Zhou's food supply, and it is very likely that we will start a war. You should think carefully."
The officials from the Ministry of Rites blushed deeply, as if they had been choked and were powerless to resist.
Shen Lanxi's voice rang out.
"If your Yue Kingdom insists on this, then our Great Zhou will fight to the bitter end!"
"If war breaks out, our Great Zhou will resolutely fight back!"
"If you cut off our food supply, then we will join our allied nations in resisting your Yue Kingdom. In that case, it's hard to say who will be divided up!"
The envoy from the Moon Kingdom glared angrily at Shen Lanxi.
How dare you be so rude to us?
Shen Lanxi: "If my enemies use weapons against me, I will use weapons against them. If my friends treat me with jade, I will treat them with fine wine."
“You…” The Yue Kingdom envoy angrily pointed at Shen Lanxi, but found that she was not afraid of the threat at all, so he turned to point at Zhou Ruyuan.
"Aren't you afraid that our Yue Kingdom will really cut off your food supply?" The Yue Kingdom's true intentions were revealed.
Before Zhou Ruyuan could answer, Shen Lanxi said, "Your Yue Kingdom may cut off supplies, but our Great Zhou will not be threatened!"
The Yue Kingdom envoy's face was full of sinister intent: "Fine, very well. We'd like to see if your emperor will tear you apart if this gets out!"
Shen Lanxi: "Our Great Zhou has a vast territory, unlike some tiny, insignificant countries. They think they can control a lion just because they have a few inches of fertile land. Little do they know that they are just fleas on the lion's back. Once the lion wakes up, they can be crushed with a single hand!"
"You..." The Yue Kingdom envoy did not expect Shen Lanxi to be so ruthless, actually putting an end to the matter.
They, who were originally full of confidence, suddenly felt a little guilty.
If the Great Zhou, along with other states, really refuses to buy their grain, how will they explain this to His Majesty when they return?
"You're just a woman, and you don't keep your word. We're not talking to you!"
"Find a man who keeps his word!"
"She's just a shrew, daring to be so disrespectful to us envoys. The Great Zhou Dynasty is nothing more than this!"
"Women shouldn't be at home embroidering and taking care of children; what kind of behavior is this, running around showing their faces in public!"
Shen Lanxi sneered: "You can't win the argument with me, so you attack my identity as a woman. You're just a few ounces more flesh than women, so don't try to be unreasonable and make trouble!"
The envoys from the Moon Kingdom glared angrily, exclaiming, "Shen Lanxi, how could there be a woman like you? You...you are an insult to civilization!"
Shen Lanxi sneered coldly: "We women can serve as officials in the court and embroider and take care of children. You men, however, only know how to point at women and say it's an insult to culture. What use are men like you who don't care about anything!"
"You, you, you...you are simply outrageous! You have violated moral principles, you are like a hen crowing at dawn! You have no regard for ancestral laws and etiquette! With her acting so presumptuously, aren't the officials of your Great Zhou going to do anything about her?"
The officials of the Great Zhou were also furious when they heard Ai Ni Shen Lanxi say that!
But now that the two countries are engaged in a war of words, the people of Great Zhou will naturally side with the people of Great Zhou. How could they possibly side with the Yue Kingdom?
If Shen Lanxi finds something to use against them and accuses them of colluding with foreign powers, will they still be able to survive in the Great Zhou?
The traitors of the Moon Kingdom are despicable; do not even think of sowing discord on the battlefield!
“Our Emperor is naturally an enlightened and good emperor. Your Yue Kingdom demeans women so much. Aren’t you born of women too?” an official from the Ministry of Rites suddenly said.
"Yes, yes, how can you belittle women like that? We men are broad-minded, how can we not even tolerate women serving as officials in the court!"
"Yes, the Yue Kingdom is different from our Great Zhou. Our Great Zhou respects women and their wishes. Compared with the past, it is unprecedented and unparalleled!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The envoy from the Moon Kingdom was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.
They had clearly overheard them discussing Shen Lanxi in private, but now they've gone back on their word and changed their tune.
The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are too cunning!
Shen Lanxi coldly stared at the Yue Kingdom envoy and said with great momentum, "If the Yue Kingdom wants to cut off the food supply to my Great Zhou, then cut it off. My Great Zhou is not afraid!"
The Yue Kingdom envoy glared at Shen Lanxi, his face turning pale.
The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, though fearless of powerful figures, were filled with bitterness.
Tomorrow's morning court session is going to be tough!
Before the morning court session, news that Shen Lanxi had provoked the Yue Kingdom's envoy, leading to the Yue Kingdom cutting off the Great Zhou's food supply, was sent to the cabinet.
The three regents launched a joint attack on Shen Lanxi!
"Shen Lanxi, your actions have utterly ruined the future of my Great Zhou!"
"If the enemy states find out that our Great Zhou is running out of food supplies, they will attack us en masse. Shen Lanxi, you will be a sinner against Great Zhou!"
"Shen Lanxi, you disregard the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty, act arbitrarily, and neglect the plight of countless people. You are no different from a treacherous villain!"
The three regents joined forces to bring Shen Lanxi to the emperor's attention!
Emperor Renxiao entrusted Shen Lanxi with all matters concerning the Yue Kingdom, but he never expected her to handle them in this way.
Doesn't she know how important the Yue Kingdom's food supplies are to our Great Zhou?
Or perhaps he ultimately overestimated her status as a woman; women are often impulsive and don't consider the bigger picture.
Shen Lanxi...you have utterly betrayed my trust!
“Your Majesty, the envoy from the Yue Kingdom pressed us repeatedly. The Prince of Zhennan and officials from the Ministry of Rites were present at the time, and they can testify to every word I said!”
"The envoy from the Moon Kingdom has repeatedly provoked our Great Zhou, and even threatened that you would have to humble yourself before the Moon Kingdom and apologize to them in front of everyone on your birthday banquet."
"They also demanded that our Great Zhou compensate for all losses, repeatedly threatening, provoking, and belittling us. How can our great nation be threatened by a tiny place?"
"I acted impulsively, but I will never regret it!"
"The dignity of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be violated. I only regret that I didn't kill them on the spot!"
Grand Tutor: "Shen Lanxi, how dare you!"
Emperor Renxiao felt relieved, and he understood that Shen Lanxi was wholeheartedly protecting him.
but……
Even emperors have their limitations!
Looking at the people arguing vehemently and passionately, Emperor Renxiao sighed.
She is filial and loyal, but she is not good at being an official and does not consider the overall situation.
"Lanxi, I understand what you mean!" Emperor Renxiao's words silenced the rest of the crowd.
Shen Lanxi said stubbornly, "Uncle, we absolutely cannot boost the morale of others and diminish the prestige of our Great Zhou!"
A wicked glint flashed in Wu Yanzhi's eyes, then he asked with concern, "Lord Shen speaks with such righteous indignation, have you already devised a plan regarding the provisions?"
A glint flashed in the old tutor's eyes, and he said, "Lord Shen is a man of extraordinary talent. He certainly won't speak up if he can't think of a solution."
Liu Mingxin, Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion: "Lord Shen is so unhurried, could it be that he is deliberately making us guess riddles, wanting to see us make a fool of ourselves?"
