However, this did not stop Chen Qianxue from being an old fox.
In the Imperial Court, it was just a bunch of old foxes chatting with each other.
At least in Qin Jiao’s eyes, it was like this.
[Age 136 years old, one year’s time passed very quickly. However, in this one year’s time, the Great Wei Dynasty that Chen Qianxue took over didn’t seem to have any big problems.]
[Age 137, Fu Shuangni is still in seclusion, preparing to break through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.]
[In the same year, the news of the Great Wei Dynasty being taken over by a Crown Princess spread to other dynasties. This caused the dynasties near the Great Wei Dynasty to once again have strange thoughts]
[A border city of the Great Wei dynasty was attacked by a neighboring country. Although the city guards blocked the enemy’s attack, they also lost a lot of manpower.]
[The news was transmitted bit by bit, and soon, Chen Qianxue learned of it.]
“Here it comes again.” Chen Qianxue took a deep breath. “Last time, she felt that the Great Wei dynasty was greatly weakened in order to deal with Daoist Blood Lotus, so she wanted to test the bottom line of the Great Wei Dynasty.”
“This time, it should be because Father is in seclusion and I am in charge of the country. She thinks that I, the Crown Princess, am easy to bully, so she wants to test the bottom line of the Great Wei Dynasty again, right?”
Even with her eyes closed, she could guess the thoughts of the invading enemies.
Of course, Chen Qianxue was not too surprised.
The occurrence of this kind of thing had already been within her expectations. It would be strange if this kind of thing did not happen.
It would make people suspect that the ambitious dynasties next to the Great Wei dynasty were secretly plotting something that could not be seen in the light?
Fortunately, the other side could not hold back.
It seemed that they were not plotting something that could not be seen in the light, at least that was the case for now.
“What do you think we should do?!” Chen Qianxue turned her head and asked Qin Jiao.
Qin jiao answered very decisively, “Just like last time, take revenge!”
After a pause, she continued, “But this time, we should do it even more ruthlessly than last time. It’s best to sort out the losses suffered by that border city and then ask that dynasty for a large amount of compensation.”
“Compensation?” Chen Qianxue could not help but be stunned. She did not expect Qin Jiao to come up with such a devious idea.
“That’s right, it’s compensation!” Qin Jiao snorted. “The kind that makes their hearts ache!”
The next day.
When Chen Qianxue went to court once again, there was no need for her to mention this matter. There was already a general with a hot temper. He could not help but stand out and invite troops to resist the invasion of the neighboring countries.
“Your Highness! The Divine Feathers Dynasty has once again provoked our Great Wei Dynasty. This time, they even attacked the Great Wei City! In order to resist their attack, we have lost hundreds of soldiers.”
This general gnashed his teeth and looked very angry. “This general is willing to go to war and destroy the army of the Divine Feathers Dynasty! Please allow it, Your Highness!”
Chen Qianxue frowned. She could tell that the general had no other intentions when he said these words.
However, the general’s tone was as if he was trying to teach her something.
Chen Qianxue might not care, but the other officials in the court could not hold it in.
“General Hou, do you know that there is a difference between seniority and inferiority? Are you teaching Your Highness how to do things?” A civil official calmly spoke.
The general surnamed Hou was just about to fly into a rage when he suddenly realized that the words he had just said were indeed somewhat inappropriate.
Perhaps this civil official was not taking the opportunity to reprimand him, but to remind him.
He immediately apologized, “Your Highness, I was too impatient in my heart and spoke rudely. Your Highness, please punish me!”
“It’s fine.”
Chen Qianxue shook her head and glanced at the officials, she then said, “In order to resist the enemy, hundreds of soldiers died. General Hou’s anxiety is understandable. Officials, what do you think of General Hou’s suggestion?”
When she threw out this question, the civil and military officials all had different reactions.
They looked at each other for a short while before someone finally stood up.
When one person stood up, more and more people stood up.
Their opinions were also completely different.
Some people agreed with General Hou’s suggestion and felt that they should immediately send troops to fight against the Divine Feathers Dynasty again and cut off the fingers that were stretched out from the other side! Only by letting the Divine Feathers Dynasty know that the Great Wei Dynasty was not a pushover would they be able to make the other side hesitate. Only then would the people within the dynasty be able to settle down.
While some people agreed, there were naturally people who disagreed. They felt that the Great Wei Dynasty was not suitable to start a war with the Divine Feathers Dynasty because this time was completely different from the last time.
Last Time, the two dynasties were only on the ocean. If there was a little friction, the other side would only lose a few thousand people.
This time, the enemy that attacked the Great Wei City had lost many days.
If they killed all of them, it would be an irreconcilable conflict!
Sometimes, the only thing that could crush the camel was a straw.
If this matter caused the two imperial cities to go to war…
That would be the time when the people would truly die.
Of course, those who did not want to start a war did not want to be patient. Instead, they felt that they should change their ways to suppress the Divine Feathers Dynasty.
For example, cutting off trade with the Divine Feathers Dynasty.
