"Why do you think that war will solve the current problem?" Jian Rin Sakura frowned and looked coldly at Guo Kaiyu, who looked at her with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The cost of war is not like that of a child, it is also a huge expense, food will be exacerbated, and the supplies we supply to the army will in turn provoke more contradictions in the country, and the hungry people will only start a riot sooner than we expected, and at that time, who will bear the consequences?"

Speaking of this, Jian Rin Sakura paused, and coldly looked at Guo Kaiyu, a person who represented large landlords and vassals in all the chains of interests, and then unceremoniously spit out word by word and asked-

"Is that you? Lord Cheongju Muguo Kaiyu?! ”

The latter's expression was slightly stunned, and cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.

"This ......"

Guo Kaiyu hurriedly cast a plea at Xue Xingchen for help, and turned sideways slightly, hiding his body behind him.

So she turned her gaze to Xue Xingchen, "So, is it you?" Lord Songzhou Mu Xue Xingchen?! “

The latter calmly closed his eyes and did not speak.

The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

The atmosphere was unusually solemn.

Jian Rin Sakura's gaze scanned over everyone, these people in the court were all different, they all had their own ideas, and they all represented different interest groups.

She swept them one by one, looking at the fire in her heart, and took in everyone's expressions.

There are two very important people who have not arrived.

So, don't be in a hurry.

It was at this moment that Xue Xingchen suddenly raised his eyes slightly, and sneers began to come out of his mouth.

Everyone present turned around at the same time and looked at him with suspicious eyes.

"Your Majesty has no need to scare people in such a horrific way." He looked at Kenrin Sakura calmly.

When she came into contact with his gaze, Ken Rin Sakura's heart suddenly jumped.

It was a terrible feeling of suffocation, like a hand reaching out and grabbing the throat.

"Your Majesty, no matter who you are, can't afford this risk, but, correspondingly, if there is no war, the people of the country will riot a few months later, and even millions of people will starve to death, who can afford this risk?"

He threw the question back, his eyes sharpening at Kenrin Sakura.

Kenrin Sakura shrank back, and even her breathing seemed to stagnate.

I only listened to the other person's mouth and asked word by word, "Can you?" Your Majesty?! ”

Just like she had pressed a moment earlier.

It was as if a sharp sword pierced the chest, and the soul of the sword Rin Sakura was also shocked.

"While we still have the strength to fight, we miss the present, and we can't fight for some resources in the future." Xue Xingchen let out a breath from his snort, "Either starve to death or die in battle, if I choose, I would rather die on the battlefield." ”

"Yes, I'd rather die on the battlefield!" The unanimous cry of everyone rang out in the court.

Kenrin Sakura's chest suffocated, and her brain buzzed.

Or go to war to fight to the death and get the resources you need.

Either wait for help, or find other ways to do it, at the cost of millions of people starving to death.

Both roads seem to be dead ends.

Even Kenrin Sakura felt confused.

Now is the time to test His Majesty.

I don't know how many people are waiting to see her show.

But at the same time, there are also many people who express deep concern.

"At least." Xue Xingchen's tone slowed down, "We still have to fight, we can rely on this war to fight for more resources for our country, and use the food of the Lijian Kingdom to feed our people." ”

"No," his voice fell, and a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked like a tiger-like general, stepped forward.

Sword Rin Sakura's eyes suddenly lit up.

This person is Qi Ji, a famous general who has followed the two generals for many years and returned to Beijing for retirement because of a sword injury.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Xue Xingchen, "I think, there is one thing that everyone has overlooked, you have lived in the south for a long time, whether it is Songzhou or Qingzhou, it is a relatively inland area, you are not in the north, nor in Yunmenggang, you are not in a place where you can be invaded by the Sword Country, and you will not have the experience of fighting with pirates and soldiers of the Sword Country." “

He swept his gaze over the crowd one by one, and none of them dared to meet his gaze with their heads bowed or sideways.

Here, two people are missing, or even more, so that this time the court will become like forcing the empress to send troops.

These people seem so aggressive when they come together, and it is precisely because of the absence of those two people that they can make decisions, and the important people -

The great general Jian Qiuxi and the metropolitan governor Zhou Sumeng.

"Yes, you don't." He withdrew his gaze and sighed, "But, I know them too well. Although the people of the Sword Kingdom live on the same island as us, dividing the north and south parts of the East Island, and the food, language, and habits are roughly the same, if you have fought with them, then you will find that we are still different in our bones. Compared with our impulsive, desperate, courageous, courageous, they appear more cautious, brave, meticulous, when I was at the border, every war I faced, was basically a battle of life and death, their ferocious, well-organized, can even be described as pervasive and changeable, from top to bottom, it seems to implement a similar style of play, so that we were caught off guard, and in the end we can only shrink up, dead to defend instead of attack.

If you have an impression of the annual sword sacrifice ceremony, then you will know what a cunning and sinister person their swordsmith is, and this aura is consistent with their army.

And every sword he forged was a change in the team.

When the army of the Sword Kingdom came to attack, we didn't know what kind of trap we were about to face, and what special weapons they used this time.

In the years that General Qiuxi was in charge of the army, although the soldiers on the border were able to rely on her excellent command and super personal strength to defend it, every night was extremely terrifying, and none of them could get a good night's sleep.

The things we worry about, the things we have a myriad of hunches in our hearts, are not how we are going to fight through them, or that the border is solid enough to sleep well, but on the contrary, it is that one day, the border will be lost.

Yes, the army of the Sword Kingdom and their swordsmiths are much stronger than us. “

When he said this, he suddenly sneered, "Where do you get the confidence that we will definitely be able to defeat them, smoothly occupy their land, invade their cities, and plunder their every resource?"

Isn't it the other way around? “

Everyone gasped.
