Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

After speaking harshly, everyone in the court knelt down.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Bei Jingchu stood up and left Liangyi Hall. The palace servants shouted, "Dismiss the court——"

Everyone dispersed one by one.

Tong Huai'en returned home with some helplessness and disappointment and sighed: "It's rare for the world to be peaceful for a while."

"When prosperity occurs, the people suffer. When it dies, the people suffer."

"But the pain of prosperity is never as great as the pain of death."

Xiang Qiao advised him: "Don't say that. Sending troops is indeed expensive, but after expanding the territory, Dai Viet will be more vast and rich, and the people's lives will be better, right?"

Tong Huai'en disagreed: "What you said is based on the premise of winning, and winning quickly."

"Otherwise, not only will the losses be huge, but it will also drag down the court that has finally become prosperous."

Xiang Qiao smiled and said, "We are much stronger, with abundant food and weapons that seemed magical in the past. How can we not win?"

It was a bit cold after staying in the ice house for a long time. Tong Huai'en, who had already sweated, put on a thin blanket and retorted: "When Tu Ning attacked Dai Viet, wasn't he also full of confidence? But look at what has happened to him now?"

"It's only been a few years, and many newborns can only speak Vietnamese. Their original language and customs are gradually being forgotten."

“Some people who are gifted can already compose poetry.”

"Your Majesty is so fond of glory and exploits, I really can't say a word about the happiness of the people."

Xiangqiao stopped trying to persuade him, knowing that it was useless.

On the other side, in Ganlu Palace, Lei Nian'er was also persuading Bei Jingchu.

"Why were you still angry just now?"

"Every time there is a slight change to the status quo, there are people who jump out to oppose it."

"It's either this or that. I thought Your Majesty had gotten used to it."

Bei Jingchu scooped a spoonful of cold toad soup into her mouth and swallowed it, explaining in a normal tone: "I'm not angry, I was just pretending."

If she was really angry, she wouldn't have to show it.

Those who are directly fined will have their salary fined, and those who are demoted will be demoted.

It is because he is not angry and does not intend to punish anyone that he acts angry to show his attitude.

Lei Nian'er also had people under his command, so he figured it out as soon as he thought about it.

She was somewhat looking forward to Bei Jingchu's decision, but at the same time she was also worried: "Although he was a general in the past, he was not the head coach after all."

"As a deputy general, although you also lead a group of people and act according to circumstances, you only need to obey the orders given by the commander-in-chief and don't have to think too much about other things."

"Your Majesty has appointed me as the commander this time. As a subject, I should have promised you that I would live up to your expectations."

"But to be honest, I actually have no idea. When I get to the front line, all decisions depend on my prediction and all responsibilities depend on me."

"I used to have a vague feeling that my father was just like that. Now that I'm in his position, I have to admit that although he's not a good father, he's a good general."

Bei Jingchu felt helpless after hearing this and asked, "While the imperial edict has not yet been issued, do you want to appoint your father as your own?"

Lei Nian'er shook her head repeatedly.

"No, I was just complaining."

"He's an old man and we don't know how many years he can live. We can't just pick on this generation and take advantage of them, right?"

"When they are all dead, who will guard the country's borders?"

"I know that I must grow up."

She touched the surface of the glass cup with her fingers, and the coolness of the drink with ice cubes spread to her fingertips. She asked with a worried look on her face, "I just thought, I am like this, is Your Majesty also like me, with a calm face but also a lot of pressure in your heart?"

It was her first time to be a head coach, and also her first time to be an emperor.

In the past, there were people putting pressure on me, but there was also direction, and the huge responsibility was not on me.

Now that she's gone, the responsibilities and power that come with it are overwhelming her.

I was just shouldering the responsibility of leading the team, but I started to feel anxious.

Then, as she shoulders the responsibility of a country, she must be cautious and confused about the future.

I am afraid that one wrong decision will cause the building to collapse.

Bei Jingchu glanced at her with a smile and replied, "No."

In Lei Nian'er's slightly surprised eyes, she continued to answer: "It's not this time. It was already like this when I was still the crown prince. At that time, I couldn't see any hope for the future, and I didn't know that there was actually a bottom line behind it."

"I feel that if we take one wrong step, we will all die together. All the efforts we have made in the first half of our lives will be in vain and we will be making wedding clothes for others. The status of women that we have fought so hard to improve will return to its original state overnight, and they may even fight back crazily, using blood to stop them from rebelling."

"Those who supported me and stood firmly behind me were destroyed because of a decision I made that I did not anticipate the consequences of. That was when the pressure was greatest."

Lei Nian'er opened her mouth slightly in surprise and asked, "How come I... don't know?"

Bei Jingchu curved her eyes.

"How can you tell?"

"Only when I act as if I am certain and confident, will you be motivated and convinced. Believe me, as long as you follow me, there will be no problem. A leader with a strong sense of control can give courage to his subordinates."

"Forget about it to me, but when you get out, don't tell your deputy general that you are not calm enough."

Lei Nian'er snorted.

"know."

She pouted and muttered a little unhappily: "I'm not a fool."

"In fact, our national strength is so strong that I know my worries are unnecessary."

Bei Jingchu raised her eyebrows, "That's not necessarily true."

She said in an exaggerated tone: "There are always people who are better than you."

"What if a great talent suddenly emerges from some opportunity somewhere and becomes a rising star?"

"What if we are arrogant and don't understand other countries?"

"Or what if our spies are not capable enough and what they find out is not their true national strength?"

“Whichever side sends out troops first is full of confidence, but in the end many still return empty-handed.”

She shrugged. "I just estimated that there would be no problem, but I can't guarantee that there will be no problem."

Bei Jingchu picked up the drink, made a toast, bumped into Lei Nian'er's glass, and whispered jokingly: "Although it seems that even a pig can win as the coach, just in case, I still ask my General Lei to adapt to the situation."

Regardless of whether people in the court agreed or not, the court issued a conscription notice.

At first, the people in the Ministry of War were worried about where to find so many able-bodied men to help His Majesty conquer the world.

Based on past experience, no one was willing to join the army, so officers who couldn't gather enough men would simply send people to search door to door.

As long as they are of appropriate age, they will be forcibly conscripted so that we can report to our superiors.

More people were needed this time, and the official who received the task was very worried, but he could only post the notice first.

If all else fails, they can only arrest more people.
