"Does the imperial court need a woman to save it in this way?"
"Then what are you men for? When you were enjoying wealth and glory, with women on your side, you didn't have ambitions for the court. Now that disaster is imminent, you're pushing women out to pursue your ambitions for the court!"
The sound of the falling curtain was so loud that it penetrated the roof and could be heard clearly by the eunuchs and guards outside.
Xiaoying was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her heart pounding, she felt both boiling and terrified.
If they defy the imperial power like this, they are doomed!
But she didn't blame Chen Wei, because Chen Wei expressed the truest cry and anger in her heart.
Why do we have to send women away after losing the war?
If the men of our dynasty had any courage at all, they would not do such a thing that would bring infamy to others for eternity.
What evil did these women do? When the imperial court was strong, they had nothing to do and it was all the men who did it.
When the country loses the war, they will be pushed out and talked about with bullshit about national justice. It's really bullshit.
This made Xiaoying feel angry and frustrated.
"Chen Wei, you! You! You are crazy!"
"The court's decisions have their own reasons, and justice is in the hearts of the people!"
Chen Wei didn't pay special attention to who in the hall said the words. In her eyes, these people's faces were distorted, like a demon with fire in its eyes.
Still fair?
hehe!
"I was wondering what justice is. It turns out that justice is the truth!"
"You enjoy the benefits, and we bear the consequences? Are you really so foolish as to think that if you pay money, food, and send women over, the Xiongnu will stop attacking the Central Plains?"
"Haha, actually, you know better than anyone else that this is just a delaying tactic."
"The Xiongnu are still going to attack the Central Plains, and we are just sacrificial lambs. This is their ploy to humiliate the Central Plains and ruin your reputation."
"You guys probably understand, right? You're just hoping for the best. You're even praising us, flattering us, and trying to get us to sacrifice ourselves for some bullshit cause, thinking that by doing so, you can preserve public support."
"Pooh!"
"I dare say to your face, if you set this precedent, every one of you here will be despised by the world and infamous forever."
Chen Wei's words were like poisonous wasps, irritating the hearts of every minister. The ministers hated Chen Wei for speaking so directly.
But he was so angry that he couldn't execute her on the spot.
The emperor, who had been silent all the time, moved. He waved his hand and knocked the teacup to the ground.
“Bang!”
The teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces, water droplets splashed several centimeters high, and then fell heavily down.
The man sitting on the high seat finally spoke, and his words were filled with naked majesty: "Chen Wei, do you think that the things you have done will make me dare not kill you?"
"If you contradict me in person, I will execute your entire family!"
Xiaoying was frightened and looked at Chen Wei with worry in her eyes. She wanted Chen Wei to kneel down with her and admit his mistake.
In her frightened pupils, she reflected Shen Wei's unyielding body and his fearless face as he looked directly at the emperor.
She uttered words that trembled in my heart: "A full family? I don't have a full family. I'm all alone. Rather than dying in disgrace in the North, I'd rather die in this palace."
"Besides, Your Majesty."
"If the people don't even have the right to speak the truth, then what's the point of having a people?!"
