Everyone could feel the Empress Regnant's murderous intent.
The ministers didn't dare to make a sound, fearing they would become the targets of her venting.
The hall was filled with depression.
After a long time, the Empress Regnant calmed down a bit.
"Tell the various countries that Great Zhou and Great Qin will not rest until one of them dies!"
"Whoever dares to sell grain or form caravans to go to Great Qin will be killed without mercy!"
The Empress Regnant's eyes were cold and resolute, speaking word by word, containing supreme power.
The ministers shuddered.
It seemed that the Empress Regnant was really going to take real action.
This was equivalent to a blockade of Great Qin.
And this was only the first step.
Once there were no caravans entering Great Qin, it would be equivalent to Great Qin closing its borders, and the downfall of the country would not be far away.
"Yes!"
They responded in unison.
The Empress Regnant was finally satisfied, stood up, and looked down at the civil and military officials.
"I not only want the downfall of Great Qin, but I also want to let the various countries in the world see how I rule the world!"
She made up her mind.
This time attacking Great Qin, she must use the posture of a king and thunderous methods to annihilate Great Qin!
She absolutely would not let Great Qin achieve a short-lived victory like before.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials didn't feel ecstatic, but rather looked gloomy.
Especially when they heard the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou say she wanted to rule the world, their conflicted expressions were almost carved on their faces.
It really wasn't their fault.
It was because the Female Emperor Wu of Zhou's previous attempts to rule the world had almost caused the downfall of Great Zhou.
They remembered one time.
The Empress Regnant of Great Zhou wanted to personally lead an expedition to Mobei, and an army of 500,000 marched out mightily.
As a result, when passing by the Empress Regnant's hometown, she ordered that they could not step on the crops.
This caused the army's movement to be slow, and they were ambushed by the major tribes of Mobei.
This battle directly caused Great Zhou to lose dozens of cities and countless gold, silver, and jewelry.
It was also from that time that the Female Emperor Wu of Zhou abdicated and let the next emperor succeed the throne.
If it weren't for the Reign of Zhenguan in the front and the Kaiyuan Era in the back, Wu Zhou would have probably been ruined by the Female Emperor Wu of Zhou.
The Female Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced around and, seeing the conflicted expressions of the ministers, instantly burst into a rage.
"What? Do you still not believe in my strength?"
Her eyes carried a murderous aura.
The ministers shuddered and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I feel that as the ruler of a country, you don't need to personally take action against a mere Great Qin."
The Prime Minister stepped forward and tactfully advised.
The other ministers also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, a mere Great Qin, why does Your Majesty need to personally take action."
"I am willing to lead the army to pacify Great Qin for Your Majesty!"
A group of military generals scrambled to request orders, fearing that the Empress Regnant would personally lead the expedition.
The expression on the Female Emperor Wu of Zhou's face then softened a bit, and she didn't continue to insist.
"Fine, I originally wanted to personally lead the expedition. Since you insist so much, then I will sit in the rear!"
Her tone was a bit helpless.
"Dealing with a mere Great Qin, I can destroy it with a wave of my hand, so I'll give you some opportunities to exercise!"
Hearing this, the ministers' faces twitched crazily.
Good heavens.
Now you're acting arrogant?
If they weren't afraid that she would cause some trouble, they wouldn't have insisted so much.
Just as the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.
The Female Emperor Wu of Zhou's next words dumbfounded everyone.
"Since I am sitting in the rear, then I am in control of the overall situation!"
"I have a plan that can cause the downfall of Great Qin!"
The Female Emperor Wu of Zhou's eyes flashed with a bright light as she spoke with full confidence.
"Right now, Great Qin must be extremely nervous, afraid of going to war with my Great Zhou."
"And my Great Zhou also needs time to deploy troops and generals. My plan can let Great Qin let down its guard, and then when Great Qin relaxes, the army will directly attack and destroy it in one fell swoop!"
Her train of thought was clear, and her words revealed a strong confidence.
Hearing this, the ministers looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.
What the Empress Regnant said was right!
Qin Xiao destroyed Great Zhou's 200,000-strong army, so he must be on high alert.
Constantly guarding against Great Zhou.
And Great Zhou currently needed time to deploy troops and generals.
This time could be used to numb the opponent!
"What brilliant plan does Your Majesty have?"
The Prime Minister also became interested and cupped his hands to ask.
The Female Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled faintly: "Send a prince to Great Qin for a political marriage!"
As soon as these words came out.
The whole audience was shocked!
The civil and military officials' eyes widened, their faces full of astonishment.
What?
Did they hear correctly?
Send a prince for a political marriage?
Use this to numb Great Qin?
The Prime Minister frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, political marriages have always been princesses, never princes!"
His tone was a bit stiff.
He had already started to become dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, you are challenging the ancestral precepts from ancient times to the present!"
The other civil and military officials also voiced their opposition.
The Empress Regnant didn't care about this at all and glanced around at everyone.
"Ancestral precepts are dead, people are alive!"
"If my daughter doesn't want to marry far away, then I will let a prince go!"
She raised her hand and flung it, her dragon robe fluttering, a sharp imperial aura making the ministers dare not retort.
But there were still people who insisted on opposing.
After all, a political marriage involving a prince was a matter of great importance!
A hint of impatience flashed across the Empress Regnant's eyes.
"As a woman, I have ascended the throne as emperor twice. This is a precedent!"
"A prince in a political marriage is also a precedent!"
"I will be the one to create a precedent! Let the rulers of later generations follow suit!"
The Empress Regnant's words were sonorous and forceful, leaving the ministers completely speechless.
Their shocked gazes were filled with bewilderment.
Listen to this, is this even human language?
If a princess doesn't want a political marriage, then a prince has to go?
And she even said this was a precedent!
You must know, a prince is the bloodline inheritance of a country!
How could he be easily given away!
"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!"
Three to five old ministers knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.
"Since ancient times, it has always been princesses in political marriages. As the orthodox royal lineage, how can a prince be given away!"
"I implore Your Majesty to retract the order!"
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
The other civil and military officials also knelt down, begging the Empress Regnant to retract the order.
Seeing this, a hint of annoyance finally appeared in the Female Emperor Wu of Zhou's eyes.
She slapped the armrest, looking down at everyone from a high vantage point.
"My mind is made up!"
"Whoever dares to oppose is disobeying me!"
As soon as these words fell.
The royal court was dead silent!
Seeing that no one dared to oppose her anymore, the Female Emperor Wu of Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
"Since no one opposes, then this matter is decided!"
She made the final decision without hesitation.
Seeing this, the ministers could only sigh.
Hoping that no major chaos would occur.
Subsequently, the Female Emperor Wu of Zhou seemed to remember something else.
Her eyes lit up.
"By the way, what season is it now?"
The Prime Minister replied: "Your Majesty, the leaves are falling at dusk, it is already winter."
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou smiled: "I heard that the bitter cold land of Mobei is short of food and is suffering from famine."
"Those barbarians will definitely disregard everything and head south to plunder!"
"I will give them an opportunity!"
The Female Emperor Wu of Zhou's sudden inspiration completely astounded the civil and military officials!
What?
Sending a prince to Great Qin isn't enough, you also want to give those barbarians an opportunity to invade the south?
The Female Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at the ministers and, seeing their expressions, nodded very satisfiedly.
"It seems that my talent is already unmatched! Even the civil and military officials feel inferior!"
She was a bit complacent.
Then she continued to speak: "If the Mobei barbarians want to invade Great Qin in the south, they must pass through the territory of my Great Zhou, so that they will reach the border of Great Qin in the fastest time."
"All we need to do is open a single breach, and others will attack Great Qin in our stead. Is that not the best of both worlds?"
