Chapter 201 People
"Does the court need a woman to save it in this way?"
"Then what do you men do? When you were enjoying wealth and glory, with women on your side, you didn't have ambitions for the court. Now that disaster is imminent, you push women out to pursue ambitions for the court!"
Shen Wei's voice was so loud that it penetrated the roof and the eunuchs and guards outside could hear it clearly.
Xiaoying was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her heart pounding, she felt both excited and terrified.
If they defy the imperial power like this, they are doomed!
But she didn't blame Shen Wei, because Shen Wei expressed the truest cry and anger in her heart.
Why do we have to send women away when we lose the war?
If the men of our dynasty had any blood in them, they would not do such a thing that would bring infamy to others for eternity.
What evil did these women do? When the imperial court was strong, these women had nothing to do with anything. It was all the men who were capable.
When the country is defeated in the war, they will be pushed out and told about some bullshit national justice. It's all bullshit.
This made Xiaoying feel angry and frustrated.
"Shen Wei, you! You! You are crazy!"
"The court's decision has its own reasons, and justice lies in the hearts of the people!"
Shen Wei did not pay special attention to who in the hall said those words. In her eyes, these people's faces were distorted, like a demon with fire in its eyes.
Is it fair?
Ha ha!
"I thought what is justice? It turns out that justice is the truth!"
"You get to enjoy the benefits, but we bear the consequences? Are you really so foolish that you think the Xiongnu will not attack the Central Plains if you pay them money, food and women?"
"Haha, in fact, you know better than anyone else that this is just a delaying tactic."
"The Xiongnu are still going to attack the Central Plains, and we are just sacrificial lambs. It is also their strategy to humiliate the Central Plains and ruin your reputation."
"You probably understand this, right? You're just hoping for the best, and even flattering us, praising us, and coaxing us into sacrificing ourselves for some bullshit cause, thinking that this way, the public opinion will be preserved."
"Pooh!"
"I dare to say to your face that once you set this precedent, every one of you here will be despised by the world and will be infamous forever."
Shen Wei's words were like poisonous wasps, irritating the hearts of every minister. The ministers hated Shen Wei for speaking so directly.
But he was so angry that he couldn't execute her on the spot.
The emperor, who had been silent all this time, moved. He waved his hand and knocked the teacup to the ground.
"Snapped!"
The teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces, with water droplets splashing several centimeters high and then falling heavily down.
The man sitting on the high seat finally spoke, and his words were full of naked majesty: "Shen Wei, do you think that the things you have done will make me dare not kill you?"
"If you contradict me in person, I will execute your entire family!"
Xiaoying was frightened and looked at Shen Wei with worry in her eyes. She wanted Shen Wei to kneel down with her and admit his mistake.
Her frightened pupils reflected Shen Weining's unyielding body and Shen Wei's fearless expression as he looked directly at the emperor.
I only heard her say something that made my heart tremble: "A full family? I don't have a full family. I am alone. Rather than going to the North and dying in humiliation, I would rather die in the palace."
"Besides, Your Majesty."
"If the people don't even have the right to speak the truth, then what is the point of having a people?!"
