Chapter 2023 This Is a Provocation

Then, Zhuang Yunshu was imprisoned in the prison cell of the Criminal Department of Dazhou with her child, and the story of being tortured and having a miscarriage also spread to the Jiuli tribe.

The Jiuli tribe was completely angry.

They issued strong protests and condemnations, and aroused the hatred of the Jiuli tribe against the Great Zhou and Northern Qi.

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

As a result, Northern Qi suffered.

All the anger of the Jiuli people was directed at Beiqi.

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

A town with a thousand people was almost wiped out. Not even the octogenarian or the young child could escape. After burning and killing, they dug a huge pit and buried all the people.

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

The news reached Zhou Dynasty, and the government and the public were shocked.

The Jiuli people are so cruel and outrageous.

But they did not stop, they continued to attack, burn and kill the Northern Qi people, even reaching Canglan Town, and were encroaching into the territory of Great Zhou.

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

"This is a provocation!"

"This is a declaration of war!"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely intolerable! I request you to lead the troops to fight!"

Most of the courtiers were also angry.

Even so, there were still conservatives in the DPRK who felt that Zhou was the chosen one and should not initiate war. Rather, this dispute should be resolved peacefully.

To put it simply, they are divided into two factions, one faction dominates the station and the other faction dominates peace.

Zhao Yuanjing has been accustomed to the smooth faces of the Lord Harmony faction since he became the emperor from the prince.

He threw the book in the face of the minister of the Zhuhe faction and said coldly: "Zhao Ruozhang, if the total of 289 people in your house were killed and buried alive by the Jiuli tribe, would you still be able to say anything at this moment? What are the four words "harmony is the most precious"?

Zhao Ruozhang was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Including all the servants in Weichen's family, there are only 286 people in total."

Zhao Yuanjing glanced at him with phoenix eyes: "The two cats raised by your fifth concubine and the dog raised by your ninth concubine don't count?"

Zhao Ruozhang broke into a cold sweat after hearing this.

The emperor knew the situation in his family very clearly.

Even the number of pets kept by the concubine is clearly known.

It can be seen that the duty of the Jin Yiwei to supervise all civil and military officials in Kyoto has never fallen behind.

Several young officials from the Ministry of War knelt down and said: "**********, now Jiuli is burning, killing and looting the people on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, doing all kinds of evil. If we cannot protect our home and country, we will be serving as ministers in vain. I beg your Majesty, Your Majesty The decree allows me to lead troops to the north of the Great Wall to annihilate Jiuli!"

An old minister from the Ministry of Household Affairs said: "How can things like war be decided in just one or two sentences? Have you ever thought about how much is involved? We have only recovered a little in the past two years in the Zhou Dynasty, and the people have just been able to fill in the With a full stomach, if you rashly start a war, do you know how much military spending will be needed and how many people will suffer?"

"ridiculous!"

The person who refuted was Ming Jing, the second son of Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

That is, the Queen's little cousin.

He had just joined the Ministry of War this year. Although he was just a member of the military, his martial arts skills were good and he had been trained by the emperor as a priority.

It can be said that the future is promising.

Among the three generations of people in the Hou family, only Ming Jing, the youngest, has taken the path of a military commander.

Everyone looked at him.

The veteran minister frowned even more, feeling that he was a veteran of two dynasties, but he was mocked in public by a fledgling boy, which would make him unable to stand down.
