Chapter 2064 Why Can’t I Come Back?
Yun Dai strongly opposed.
Zhao Yuanjing signaled Liu Dequan to tell his ministers to wait for a while in the morning.
He held Yun Dai's hand and explained patiently: "Dai'er, I would never make such a decision unless I had to. You understand the current situation. Think about it for me. Apart from this, Is there any way to break the situation?"
Yun Dai said nothing.
She knows it's a tough time right now.
It's not that the national strength of the Zhou Dynasty cannot support this war, but that the confidence of the ministers and the people has been lost.
After successive defeats, the two generals Zheng Xi and Luo Jizu shed their blood on the battlefield.
These have seriously damaged people's confidence in the country.
This also gives those who are willing to take advantage of the opportunity.
Nowadays, rumors are spreading everywhere in the Great Zhou Dynasty that the Zhou Kingdom is about to fall, and that Jiuli's army is about to break through Canglan Town, march straight in, and attack Kyoto.
The people were in panic all day long, the poor were desperately looking for food, the rich were hoarding rice, flour, grain and oil, and the nobles were secretly recruiting troops and horses to defend themselves.
All this chaos is caused by their panic.
If this problem cannot be solved decisively and quickly, all the hard development of Dazhou in the past few years will be wasted. It will even fall back.
Although Zhao Yuanjing didn't say anything, he was anxious in his heart.
At present, only if he, the king of a country, steps forward can he stabilize the situation as soon as possible and give the people confidence.
If he, the emperor, could only send people to Saibei one by one, he would huddle in the palace and watch the generals die one after another.
Then, he will completely lose the support of the people.
By then, the Great Week will be over.
Yun Dai is very clear about all the pros and cons of this.
Rationally, she agreed with Zhao Yuanjing's decision, but emotionally, she couldn't accept it.
She put her arms around Zhao Yuanjing's waist and said, "Then you take me with you. Although I don't know martial arts and can't fight, I can give you advice."
Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "I know you are very smart, and I really want to take you with me. But there are more important things that need you to do."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Take care of everything here for me." Zhao Yuanjing said softly, "My right-hand men are the little emperor uncle and Jin Lan. But the little emperor uncle is sick, and only Jin Lan can help you. If you stay in the palace to guard, you can also help me." I’ll take care of the children, okay?”
Yun Dai also knew that she couldn't leave.
Zhao Yuanjing is not in Kyoto. If she leaves, Kyoto will need someone who can control the situation.
Although Yan'er is older, she is only eight years old, and the princesses are five years old. The youngest second prince has just turned one year old.
Where can I live without people?
Besides, she couldn't leave.
After leaving King Qin, she was in danger of having a headache at any time.
"I will guard this place." Yun Dai hugged him tightly, "You must come back safely. You have never fought with the Jiuli people, and King Yi betrayed him. He knows our Zhou army very well, and he also knows you. It will be difficult for you to go here."
"I promise that I will come back to you safely." Zhao Yuanjing kissed her forehead, "With you waiting for me, why can't I come back?"
…
In the morning, Zhao Yuanjing discussed this matter with the ministers.
Unexpectedly, Yujia's decision to conduct the expedition himself was supported by most people.
It’s really that the current Great Zhou Dynasty is too chaotic.
The emperor's expedition was a reassurance.
It is already August, and in two months, Saibei will enter the mid-winter season when heavy snow closes the mountains. By then, the advantage of the Jiuli army will be even more obvious.
