Or maybe... this is Chen Wei's only way out!
Chen Wei just smiled at Qin Shuyu, gave her a reassuring look, and then raised his hand to let Qin Shuyu leave.
Xiaoying sat in the corner with her knees folded, looking at Qin Shuyu's figure, her eyes slightly red as she murmured, "Weiwei, is there no room for maneuver in this matter..."
She wanted to have it too.
But how can those in power see their suffering?
Those in power don't care. They only care that this is the smallest and most beneficial sacrifice, and this sacrifice must be their martial arts school.
Aren’t the women in the martial arts school kind-hearted?
Isn’t it about giving porridge to the people?
With such a righteous and benevolent person, she would definitely marry in the northern border for the sake of the Central Plains.
If not, then what is the purpose of such great kindness and righteousness? Is it to win the hearts of the people and rebel?
You see...it's so easy for the superiors to make them do what they want. All they need is a random excuse.
After a long silence.
A clear voice rang out from the Dali Temple: "I have thought it through in the past few days and I request to see His Majesty!"
"Chen Wei requests to see His Majesty!"
An hour later, Chen Wei was brought before the emperor.
He was pushed to the ground by the guards with a "thump".
In the face of imperial power, all backbone and all kneeling to heaven, earth, and parents are fake.
Although Chen Wei was calm and fearless in his heart, he still had to kneel straight and upright on the surface. The time-travel stories he had read flashed through his mind, and he felt that reality was indeed cruel.
The person sitting above her head can decide her life or death at any moment.
When she didn't have absolute power, she was courting death by challenging the emperor's might.
The emperor, sitting on the high throne, didn't even look at her, but lowered his head to review the memorials.
After seeing Chen Wei kneeling with his head lowered and his eyes submissively for half an hour, the Emperor finally made a move. He leaned back on the dragon throne, his eyes showing disdain for his prey being subdued. He spoke in a condescending manner:
"Have you thought it through?"
Chen Wei lowered her head and replied, "Your Majesty, I have thought it through and am willing to go to the Xiongnu and sacrifice myself in exchange for peace in the court."
The emperor raised the corners of his lips with an ambiguous arc. Perhaps he felt that no matter how strong one's character was, it would be nothing under his majesty?
Before he could give grace or say anything, Chen Wei spoke again: "But——"
"I am unwilling to give in. I am not going to the Xiongnu as compensation, but as a hidden pawn to help the emperor eliminate the Xiongnu."
"As far as I know, the Xiongnu now has a new Chanyu on the throne. Although he came to power with an iron fist, there are also many factions within the Xiongnu. This may be a good opportunity for our dynasty to reconquer the Xiongnu!"
"So I am willing to go there to help our dynasty recover the Xiongnu!"
"Only in this way can the court's reputation and prestige be preserved, and on the day of great victory, His Majesty's heroic name will be passed down through the people for thousands of years."
After Chen Wei finished speaking, he kept his head down.
After a while.
There was only a sneer from above: "Really?"
Chen Wei replied solemnly, "I am willing to serve the imperial court."
"Serve? Who do you think you are?"
"Those few words of yours are truly arrogant. The Xiongnu, who have remained unconquered for hundreds of years, are actually being conquered by a weak woman like you?"
"The death of the Xiongnu Chanyu is no secret. My dear ministers have already heard of it. They are unable to resolve this matter. How can you convince me of this? Are you trying to claim that you are the reincarnation of the God of War?"
