The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"Why did that person come back suddenly?"

"Is there any unusual movement in the Great Song Dynasty?"

"I have watched Princess Taiping grow up with my own eyes. Although she is just a girl, she has great ambitions and is very extraordinary."

When many officials in the court heard that Murong Wan'er had returned so suddenly, many of them were whispering to each other, feeling very curious as to why Murong Wan'er had suddenly returned at this time.

Murong Wan'er had a beautiful face, a golden crown on her head, and two exquisite phoenixes hanging from her hair pendants on both sides. On the top of the crown on her head was a red, crystal clear, egg-sized ruby. She was wearing a light blue princess' court robe.

The collar and sleeves of the court robe are stone blue, with gold and sea dragon edges. The pattern is a dragon with five claws. There is one dragon on each of the front and back and the ends of the sleeves. There is one dragon on each shoulder, four dragons on the lapel, two dragons on the collar, and two dragons on each where the sleeves meet. The hem opens at the back. There is a golden ribbon hanging from the back of the collar, and it can be decorated as needed. The robe body, collar and sleeve ends are all edged with gold, which makes it look majestic and heroic.

With a resolute look, she walked to the center of the court and bowed deeply. The fact that Murong Wan'er did not kneel was not surprising to many court officials. They all knew that Murong Boheng doted on Princess Taiping very much, and it was her honor not to kneel. Their voices also became majestic: "Your Highness Taiping, your son, pays homage to your father!"

"Wan'er came back suddenly, why didn't you inform father in advance? Father could have arranged someone to pick you up in person." Murong Boheng had a smile on his face.

He was not a sentimental emperor. He spent all his time developing the Great Xia Dynasty and unifying the nine states. Therefore, he only had five children, which was very few compared to many emperors.

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. I am already a grown-up, and I cannot live under your care all my life. I will have to be independent in the future."

Murong Wan'er's voice was sonorous and powerful, and when she spoke, many court officials had a strange light in their eyes. The "one-man show" here can indeed be interpreted in many ways.

"Hahaha... It would be great if your second brother could be like you and make father feel at ease." Murong Boheng laughed out loud, his face full of relief.

Many court officials were also very tactful and quickly bowed, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Princess Taiping is very considerate and knows how to sympathize with Your Majesty. This is truly a blessing for our Great Xia Dynasty."

When Murong Wan'er heard Yelu Boheng mention the word "second brother", a touch of emotion and warmth emerged in the depths of her eyes, but she did not show any change in expression.

"Father, I was just outside the palace and I seemed to hear everyone discussing something. The discussion was very intense. You guys continue, and I will just listen in."

Murong Wan'er smiled slightly, then she walked to the side and stood behind the Minister of Rites Dong Zhao.

"Princess, please stand in front of me."

Dong Zhao was shocked by Murong Wan'er's behavior and felt helpless inside. He naturally knew that the other party was probably still brooding over the events of Jinling City, which was very much in line with the character of Princess Taiping.

"Hmph! I dare not. Lord Dong is a favorite of my father. I'm still waiting for you to say a few good words for me!" Murong Wan'er put extra emphasis on the last four words "a few good words".

Many court officials were stunned for a moment, secretly gloating in their hearts, thinking that Dong Zhao must have gone to Jinling City some time ago and might have provoked this princess.

"Do you all think that we should attack the Great Song Dynasty?" Murong Boheng also calmed down a little. Just now, the Minister of War Mi Lan proposed to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and almost one-third of the civil officials and military generals agreed. As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he was not a tyrannical person, so he asked again immediately.

"Your Majesty, I do not agree to attack the Great Song Dynasty at this stage." At this time, Yelu Cai, who was standing on the other side, had a few wrinkles on his face, gray hair, and some wrinkles on his eyelids, but his eyes were shining with awe-inspiring light. He said: "Our Great Xia Dynasty is under your Majesty's diligent governance. Now we have many elite soldiers and generals, and our strength is strong. It is not too difficult to attack the chaotic Great Song Dynasty."

"But, the most important thing is that in recent years, the Great Qin Dynasty in the east has become increasingly powerful, and has not rashly started a war of annihilation. At this stage, if our Great Xia Dynasty is the first to start a war of annihilation, it means that the dynasties around us will inevitably be in danger. Zhang Yi of the Great Qin Dynasty is best at making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones."

"If he can help, the dynasties around us will form an alliance to deal with our Great Xia Dynasty out of fear of being destroyed. If we cannot destroy them all in a short period of time, it is possible that our Great Xia Dynasty will be dragged down."

"By that time, if our Great Xia Dynasty and the surrounding dynasties are both defeated, the Great Qin Dynasty in the east will be impatient and will send troops eastward."

Yelu Caicong wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty. His analysis was very clear and he was worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Xia Dynasty.

Many court officials nodded, and they obviously agreed with Yelu Cai's point of view.

To act rashly against the small dynasties around would be tantamount to forcing them to form an alliance, which could then help the Qin Dynasty, which has been sitting on the sidelines.

Moreover, although the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty has grown rapidly in recent years, it has not yet reached the point where it can unify the Nine Provinces. You must know that in the entire Nine Provinces, there are at least three dynasties whose strength is not much different from that of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Murong Boheng frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly. It was rare for the Minister of War Mi Lan and Prime Minister Yelu Cai to have different ideas. It was really rare.

Mi Lan stood there, with some anger in his eyes. He didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Yelu would suddenly jump out and sing against him.

"Wan'er, you just returned from the Great Song Dynasty. Tell me about the situation in the Great Song Dynasty. If our Great Xia Dynasty uses military force against the Great Song Dynasty, what are the chances of victory?"

Murong Boheng raised his head slightly and his eyes fell on Murong Wan'er who was standing behind Dong Zhao.

Murong Wan'er walked to the center of the court and asked directly, "Your Majesty, may I ask, what is your reason for using military force against the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is in Luofu City, and he has detained Mi Heng, the newly crowned number one scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty, and is extorting him for 500,000 taels of gold. He is so audacious that he has ignored our Great Xia Dynasty. Isn't this reason enough to use military force?" Murong Boheng asked.

Murong Wan'er answered slowly, neither servile nor overbearing, "On my way back to the Great Xia Dynasty, I heard that our new champion was aggressive in Luofu City, trying to use his power to overwhelm others and humiliate the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty. He arrogantly provoked the other party and willingly accepted the bet."

"Who would have thought that although he was the new champion of the Great Xia Dynasty, he didn't study hard enough, and the first line of his couplet was matched by the other party, so he wanted to deny it. That's why he was detained."

"If our Great Xia Dynasty were to use military force against the Great Song Dynasty just because of such a personal grudge, not only would it fail to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, but it would also make their people, soldiers, and officials more united."

“Since ancient times, wars that destroyed nations have all been caused by: if the name is not right, then the words will not flow.”

Murong Wan'er's voice resounded throughout the court. Many officials could not help but nod their heads with admiration in their eyes. They never expected that the other party, at such a young age, could think so thoroughly.

Mi Lan was angry inside but she didn't show it. She still had a smile on her face and didn't rush to refute.
