Chapter 213 Unstable
Who doesn’t know that the Xiongnu is internally unstable?
All the high-ranking officials in the court were aware of this.
but?
Who dares to say that they can rush to the northern border and provoke a war between the two sides? No one dares.
But Shen Wei knelt on the ground and answered calmly: "I know it's difficult, but I'm willing to give it a try. There's no loss for our dynasty, right?"
"If we fail, we will just be the women offered up as slaves, and it was the Xiongnu who took the initiative to ask for it, so it will not bring any harm to our dynasty!"
"But if it succeeds, the emperor will be worshipped by millions of people and his achievements will be passed down to future generations."
"Moreover, I don't believe that the emperor knows nothing about the reason for the court's defeat this time. Isn't this what the emperor was happy to see before, the high-ranking officials fighting for military power?"
"If the Xiongnu can use the beauty trap on the children of high-ranking officials, why can't the court defeat them? I wonder if the emperor is willing to give it a try?"
The emperor's eyes narrowed and he fell silent for a moment.
indeed.
Every emperor wants to see high-ranking officials at odds with each other and fighting for power.
Only in this way can he weigh the power of each party and check and balance each other.
But he did not expect the disaster to be so serious, and at this moment those playboys were so incompetent that the Huns took advantage of them.
Now that the situation has been determined, there is no point in regretting anything.
perhaps........
Seeing that the emperor did not respond, Shen Wei continued, "If we go to Xiongnu, our dynasty will definitely be out of reach. I know that all actions in Xiongnu will depend on me."
"The disaster will eventually pass, but the supplies we sent to the United States are just the beginning. Once they weaken, they will become weaker. By then, I'm afraid it will be too late to turn the tide."
"If we can cause unrest in the Xiongnu regime and take the opportunity to obtain the border defense map, would the emperor be willing to send troops to garrison at the border for these purposes, ready to respond at any time?"
The emperor's voice remained calm. He looked at Shen Wei with deep eyes and asked after a while:
"What will you do if stealing the picture fails?"
Only then did Shen Wei look up at the emperor, and even dared to make eye contact with the emperor at this moment.
Her voice resounded in the hall: "Your Majesty."
"If we fail and are captured by the Xiongnu, our lives will be worse than death! We will definitely commit suicide on the spot!"
"Moreover, the Xiongnu's setting of such conditions for peace talks means that they despise the women of the Central Plains from the bottom of their hearts, and they will definitely not set up defenses against us."
"I have this confidence, and I will definitely be able to turn the tide for the imperial court."
Since the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, we can only maximize our own interests.
Those three thousand people were determined, no matter if they were willing or not, no matter how uncomfortable, unwilling or angry Shen Wei was, the moment the almighty emperor made the decision, they lost all their say.
Since ancient times, fairness has always been decided by those in power.
Going means death.
If you don't go, you will die.
It would be better to exchange your future for something.
After all... after all, their sacrifice must not be in vain, right?
"If we succeed in stealing the border defense map and our dynasty wins a great victory, then on the day when the Xiongnu is defeated, I hope the emperor will agree to my three requests."
The emperor chuckled softly, and his voice had some ups and downs, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Which three requests?"
"First, all women in the Central Plains can marry freely. They have the right to choose their own husbands, and their parents are not allowed to forcibly interfere. They can also take the initiative to divorce, rather than just passively waiting for men to divorce them."
