Chapter 2023: This is a provocation

Then, Zhuang Yunshu was locked up in the prison cell of the Criminal Department of Da Zhou with her child, and the tortured miscarriage also spread to the Jiuli tribe.

The Jiuli tribe was completely furious.

They issued strong protests and condemnations, and provoked hatred among the Jiuli people for the Great Zhou and Northern Qi.

The Great Zhou is far away from Jiuli, but the Northern Qi is close at hand.

As a result, the Northern Qi Dynasty suffered.

The anger of the Jiuli people was all sprinkled on Northern Qi.

Several small towns on the border of Northern Qi were attacked and attacked by Jiuli, and suffered heavy casualties.

There was a town of thousands of people, almost all destroyed. Not even the elderly and the yellow-haired children were able to escape. After the burning, they dug a huge pit and buried them all.

No one knows how many people who are still alive are buried alive.

When the news reached Da Zhou, the government and the opposition were shocked.

The Jiuli people are so brutal that it is outrageous.

And they did not stop, they were still attacking and burning the Northern Qi people, and even affected Canglan Town, and were encroaching on the territory of the Great Zhou.

Zhao Yuanjing sat at the table, staring at the battle report placed in front of him, his face was gloomy and extremely ugly.

"This is a provocation!"

"This is a declaration of war!"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely intolerable! Wechen asks to lead the troops to battle! ”

Most of the courtiers were also angry.

Even so, there are still conservatives in the DPRK and China, who feel that the Great Zhou is the chosen country and should not take the initiative to provoke a war. Rather, the dispute over this matter should be resolved peacefully.

To put it simply, it is divided into two factions, one is the main station, and the other is the main peace.

Zhao Yuanjing went from the crown prince to the emperor, and he was already used to seeing the smooth face of the lord and faction.

He threw the fold in the face of the minister of the Lord and the faction, and said coldly: "Zhao Ruozhang, if there are two hundred and eighty-nine people in your mansion who are killed and buried alive by the Jiuli clan, can you still say the four words "harmony is precious" at this moment?" ”

Zhao Ruozhang hurriedly knelt down in fright and said: "Weichen's family, together with all the servants, there are only two hundred and eighty-six people in total. ”

Zhao Yuanjing's phoenix eyes glanced at him: "The two cats raised in your fifth concubine's room, and the dog raised in your ninth concubine's room, don't they count?" ”

Zhao Ruozhang broke out in a cold sweat when he listened.

The emperor knew too well about the situation in his family.

Even the number of pets kept by inconsequential concubines is well known.

It can be seen that the duty of this brocade guard to supervise the civil and military officials in Kyoto has never been left behind.

Several young officials from the military department knelt down and said, "*******, now Jiuli has burned, killed and looted the people on the border of our Great Zhou, and has done all kinds of evil. If we can't defend our family and country, we will be vain. I beg Your Majesty to give an order to allow the ministers and others to lead the troops to Saibei and exterminate Jiuli! ”

An old minister of the household department said: "How can such a thing as a war be decided in one or two sentences? Have you ever thought about how much of this is involved? Our Great Zhou has only eased up a little in the past two years, and the people have just been able to fill their stomachs, if they rashly provoke a war, do you know how much military spending is needed, and how many people will suffer? ”

"Ridiculous!"

The person who refutes is Mingjing, the second son of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

That is, the little cousin of the queen's mother.

He has just entered the military department this year, although he is only a foreigner, but his own martial arts strategy is good, and he has been regarded as a key training by the emperor.

It can be said that the future is promising.

In the three lifetimes of the Hou Mansion, only the youngest Ming Jing has taken the road of military generals.

The crowd looked at him.

The old minister frowned even more, feeling that he was a veteran of the two dynasties, but he was ridiculed in public by a fledgling boy, and he couldn't help but get off the stage.
