Chapter 36
"Lord Yan, offending a lord of a vassal state for a mere commoner, resulting in a war between two countries, a war, and the suffering of the people, is not a blessing from the heavy rain!”
Li Guofang's words resonated with most of the officials present.
"Lord Li is right. The northern vassal states have always had a close relationship with our Great Rain Empire. However, Lord Yan's actions will easily hurt the hearts of the northern vassal states. If they really send troops over, who will be responsible for this?”
"It's fine if a small citizen dies. What's there to be pitiful about?”
"Yes, she's just a lowly commoner. How dare she offend the lord of a vassal state? She's unforgivable. This mother and daughter should be thrown into prison to appease the anger of the vassal state of the Northland!”
"Second!"
These officials spoke one after another, and their emotions were stirred up, as if they were northerners.
Yan Hao was amused.
He had always thought that he was a rice worm who had brought disaster to the rain. However, when he saw the faces of these officials, Yan Hao realized that he was really too righteous.
When these officials faced the barbarians, they had to be benevolent, gentle, and reasonable. Even if the other party was unreasonable, they had to be reasonable. The country had to be tolerant and not be afraid of suffering losses. It was a blessing to suffer losses...
They didn't care that Lee Seung Ki was beating up the people. Instead, they jumped out to cry for Lee Seung Ki when he was beaten up. They even said that they were afraid that the northern vassal states would be furious. If the soldiers retaliated, the border would be empty, and the imperial court would have no military pay. How would they deal with it?
Therefore, it would be better to detain the mother and daughter, and Yan Hao would apologize to save face for the Lord of the Northland. It would appease the anger of the Northland, and there would be no trouble.
Looking at these self-righteous faces, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. The veins on their temples bulged, and they were indignant.
These were the loyal officials of the heavy rain. What loyalty for the country, what righteousness, what pleading for the people, it was really too exciting.
Their words sounded beautiful, but in a nutshell, weren't they just suppressing their own people and pleasing their enemies?
Since ancient times, who could rely on giving face to destroy the enemy? He still wanted to use a knife and see her on the battlefield!
This time, taking into account the face of the Northland, could it be exchanged for peace? What are you thinking? The Northland would think," Wow, China is so funny. They're actually trying to please us. At this time, are they showing the weakness of the heavy rain?" The Northland would probably become like the other vassal states. They would come to the Great Rain to threaten them whenever they had the time to. They would fight for the autumn grain and earn money. Anyway, the Great Rain was just so humble. What was there to be afraid of?
Yan Hao really couldn't imagine that it would be a group of idiots who stole the imperial court.
"It's no wonder that the Great Rain has been playing a good hand for so many years, but it's always been played badly…This group of people are the ones who have nothing to do with their positions, constantly ruining the foundation of the Great Rain!”
Yan Hao suddenly felt nauseous looking at the faces of justice, loyalty, and the people.
Jiajia was high and mighty, her expression complicated.
At this moment, he was a little hesitant. He was afraid of trouble. If there was really a war between the two countries, then money would be like flowing water. If there was another defeat, where would the dignity of the Celestial Dynasty be?
Originally, he had supported Yan Hao, but after hearing what the ministers said, it made sense.
Yan Hao had been following Jiajia's thoughts with his mind reading ability. Now that Jiajia had changed her mind, Yan Hao felt a wave of sadness.
Yan Hao's eyes turned cold as he took out his trump card.
"Your Majesty, I still have something I don't know if I should say. The reason I mentioned before is actually just because of a small reason. It's not the main reason why I beat up that Lee Seong-ji.”
Jiajia hesitated for a moment before nodding.”
Yan Hao said loudly," Actually, the northern vassal states have never shown any respect for the rain. In Dajue Temple, Lee Seung Ji even said something. He felt that he had been wronged. He said that he would tell his brother and ask him to send troops to extinguish the rain."
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Extinguished…
Heavy rain!
One hit kill!
The ministers who had just spoken up for the northern vassal state paled at this moment. Cold sweat kept dripping down their backs as they knelt on the ground.
Jiajia was originally thinking about whether she should ask Yan Hao to apologize to Northland, but now, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The veins on her temples were bulging, and her fists were clenched.
He was extremely furious!
After holding it in for a long time…
"Presumptuous! How dare you!"
This was what Jiajia shouted out. She was extremely angry!
An arrogant emperor like Jiajia had always thought that he was the one who was destined to be the emperor. He was the one who carried out the mandate of heaven and ruled the four seas. He suppressed the eight directions and the four barbarians bowed their heads. He had always been immersed in this dream. The emissaries of the northern vassal states had come to pay their respects. This was proof. Look, my country is strong and prosperous, and other countries have come to pay their respects.
But now, Yan Hao's words woke him up. If a small northern country dared to say something like 'put out the rain', then wouldn't the other countries turn the tables?
To a conceited person like Jiajia Emperor, this was a great humiliation!
"This subject is guilty!"
"This subject is guilty!"
The ministers lowered their heads, their legs trembling in fear.
At this moment, Chancellor Zhang Wenhao was already kowtowing until he was bleeding. He was extremely terrified and secretly hated Yan Hao for hiding this. Wasn't he scamming him?
At this moment, the Northern Kingdom Envoy was also stunned. He was so scared that he peed his pants."Your Majesty, you've been wronged. How would we dare to say such words? Thief Yan must have deliberately framed our Northland.”
However, Yan Hao sneered." When Lee Seung Ji said that, there were hundreds and thousands of people present. The Jin Guards were also present. You can call them over and ask them."”
Jin Wei was there too?
All the officials and emissaries from the Northern Kingdom who had been hoping for luck were immediately shattered, and they became even more terrified.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Yongle of my dynasty said after his second expedition to sweep the desert," Yan Hao cupped his hands towards Jia Jia.'Our dynasty's power is more noble than before. It controls the northern barbarians, the western barbarians, the southern islands, and the western barbarians. There is no marriage alliance like the Han Dynasty, no alliance like the Tang Dynasty, no annual thin coins like the Song Dynasty, and no brotherly etiquette like the enemy country.'……But now, a small country like the Northland actually made these subjects bow and scrape, willing to sacrifice themselves to help the Northland. I think they don't deserve to wear this official uniform!”
