Chapter 298 (2/2)
”Emperor Zhou, Emperor Qin, Emperor Qi and Emperor Han, you are determined to kill me!”
The Minister of the Ministry of military wanted to stop: ”Your Majesty...”
”Stop talking, and order the three armies to keep all the soldiers fighting! Even if only the last one dies, we will kill the enemy!”
“……”
The Minister of the Ministry of war was silent for a moment: ”yes, my minister.”
He walked out of the ruins of the palace, a layer of haze enveloped his heart.
He smelled the smell of subjugation. The great Xia Dynasty was in a national crisis. In an emergency, as the head of a country, Emperor Xia not only failed to give any effective instructions, but also faintly wanted to collapse and go crazy. This is a sign that the country will die.
Not long after the Minister of war left, Duke Liu hurried to report the bad news:
”Your Majesty, commander Yuan Fang, who guarded the imperial mausoleum, just sent back an urgent message that the fourth princess suddenly disappeared!”
”Four princesses?”
Xia Qingshan was stunned and didn't react for a long time:
”Xia Wan'an is missing?”
In fact, when the Zhou Dynasty dissolved the engagement two days ago, he should have sent someone to pick Xia Wan'an back from the imperial mausoleum, but he deliberately ignored the daughter and ignored her completely.
”Go missing!” Xia Qingshan said coldly, ”I can't even care about my own life and death now. How can I care about her!”
”She has the same life as her mother. If she promised to marry Zhou Qian in the court that day, maybe the Zhou Dynasty would not declare war on us. If the Zhou Dynasty did not declare war, other imperial dynasties would not declare war, and things would not be like this.”
”After all, she is the cause of all the troubles. It's good if she dies. If she doesn't die, I'll kill her myself!!”
Duke Liu was frightened by the speech and hurried back.
That night, Xia Qingshan held a grand funeral for Jia Nanfeng in spite of the urgency of the front-line war, ordered the whole country to mourn for seven days, even the front-line soldiers were no exception, and even levied a one-time tax on the civilian people in the name of war for the next ten years. This once caused the morale of the army to be lax, and the people complained.
All the ministers came to advise, saying that now the country is in crisis, let emperor Xia take fighting against foreign enemies as his important task, not to mobilize the public for a funeral, let alone squeeze and exploit the people at this stall.
Most importantly, how did Jia Nanfeng die? Everyone has a clear mind. The more grand you hold her funeral, the more you express your resentment against the mysterious strong. What if she runs to kill you in a rage?
Xia Qingshan totally ignored the advice of the ministers, insisted on his own way, and even executed several ministers for the sake of power.
In fact, he was confident that the mysterious strong man would not kill herself. If she wanted to kill herself, she wouldn't raise her hand to save her last night.
……
……
”It seems that my father emperor must toss and subjugate the Xia Dynasty.”
In a village and town, looking at the officers and soldiers in plain clothes who imposed taxes on the people door to door, a surge of anger ”soared” from the bottom of Xia Wan'an's heart.
She had hoped that Xia Qingshan could stabilize the situation, delay the disaster of destroying the country as far as possible, and give her time to improve her cultivation.
But she didn't expect that Xia Qingshan was so stupid that he levied taxes for ten years at a time, which forced the people to a dead end. Before the Allied forces of the four countries came in, he would destroy his country first.
If Xia Qingshan had known that he would do so, Xia Wan'an would rather not save him last night. The emperor would rather die than live.
