The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Dong Yi's face turned ashen, and his cheeks twitched with anger.

Si Yan glanced around, and his cold voice echoed throughout the hall: "You all know who the King of Yan is, don't you? The King of Yan is the brother of the King of Yan and the most beloved son of the Queen Mother of Yan. If the King of Yan dies because of our army's betrayal of the alliance, then what will happen to the main force that remains in Yan State? Will they turn around and attack our country to avenge the King of Yan?

"So, Daxuan has not yet defeated the enemy forces of Beimang State, and the war with Yan State has ignited. Daxuan is facing the enemy on two fronts. I wonder how many soldiers will have to sacrifice to protect the peace of our country. Is this what you ministers want to see?"

The court officials were silent for a while. Some of them knew the pros and cons of the matter, but no one dared to speak out.

Over the years, many court officials who opposed Prime Minister Xin have never even been found.

The Xin family's cruelty and viciousness are so frightening that people have to submit.

Dong Yi snorted coldly, "Miss Si, you're really exaggerating. Yan is just a weak country. How could they dare to become an enemy of Daxuan?"

He Xuan, standing aside, chimed in, "That's right. Yan is just a tiny country. Our Daxuan territory is several times larger than Yan's. Why should we fear Yan?"

Si Yan's expression was cold as he turned to look at Dong Yi: "Yan is just a weak country? You two are talking about ten years ago, right?"

She said sternly, "Do you two know that the Yan army, under the training of the King of Yan, has already impressed even the Beimang army?

"The Beimang army repeatedly underestimated our army at the border, but they never dared to underestimate the Yan army. When the Yan army was in dire straits because our country violated the alliance, the King of Yan led only 5,000 troops and slaughtered tens of thousands of Beimang soldiers. Do you still dare to say that this is not strength? Do you still dare to say that Yan is not to be feared?"

He Xuan snorted coldly: "Miss Si, you are trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige!"

"This is an undeniable fact that has already occurred. The Yan army is fierce and powerful, and the King of Yan is renowned throughout the world. The two lords refuse to acknowledge it and are merely deceiving themselves."

Qi Ziyu stepped forward and said, "Father, the Yan Longyi army is indeed not to be underestimated. Our country was able to annihilate the 200,000-man Beimang army this time, and Yan State made a significant contribution. The bravery of Yan State's soldiers has deeply impressed our generals in Daxuan."

Dong Yi took a deep breath, his face full of sarcasm: "Yan Longyi was hit by the enemy's wolf poison arrow and was about to die. It was Miss Si who saved him. Miss Si really helped our country save a powerful enemy."

"The Minister of War is truly a joke. He has already said that what I, Si Yan, saved was not an enemy, but an ally. And what I saved was not Yan Longyi, but Daxuan."

Dong Yi was so angry that he threw his sleeves and said, "What a eloquent daughter of Situ!"

Si Yan ignored Dong Yi and turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, our country has already signed a letter of credence to unite with Yan to resist Beimang State. However, some people are urging Your Majesty to break the alliance and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits. This plan is foolish and will lead to the destruction of our country.

"This move not only undermines our military prestige, undermines your majesty's imperial power, and damages the reputation of Daxuan, causing our country to lose the trust of the world, but also nearly offends the State of Yan, causing war, and even, if things go wrong, it could overthrow our Daxuan regime.

"I believe that the person who proposed this plan has caused everyone in Daxuan, from Your Majesty to the common people, to pay the price for his foolishness. This person truly has ill intentions and sinister intentions, and his crimes are extremely heinous."

The court officials suddenly became restless. Si Yan's accusation was obviously intended to hold them accountable.

The Minister of War Dong Yi, who had taken the lead in advising against this matter, turned even paler.

Xin Rui was confused by Si Yan's speech, but fortunately he didn't say anything, so the anger didn't reach him.

Even if something really happened, just push the Minister of War Dong Yi out.

Si Yan bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I really want to know who among these civil and military officials in the court is so shameless as to propose such a despicable plan that harms the country and the people?"

The emperor's mouth twitched. On that day, there was a court meeting. The Minister of War Dong Yi spoke passionately, saying that Daxuan could reap the benefits without spending a single soldier.

The court officials also kept advocating and echoing this, saying that both Beimang and Yan would suffer heavy losses, and Daxuan would reap the benefits.

He was so excited and passionate when he heard it that day. But now that it has come to Si Yan, it has become a bad idea that harms the country and the people?

The Minister of War said with a sullen face, "Miss Si, sitting back and reaping the benefits is a good strategy. If you hadn't leaked our military intelligence and attracted the Beimang army, both Beimang and Yan would have suffered heavy losses. Wouldn't we have been sitting back and reaping the benefits?"

"Yeah yeah……"

"Master Dong is absolutely right."

"There was originally nothing wrong with this strategy." The court officials of Xin Rui's party quickly seized the opportunity to fight back.

Si Yan's aura suddenly changed, and his sharp eyes swept across the ministers, finally falling on Dong Yi.

"It seems that the person who strongly recommended Your Majesty to break the alliance was the Minister of War, Lord Dong?"

"It was I." The Minister of War paused and spoke cautiously, "I discussed this with all the ministers, and after a meeting of all officials, the final decision was made by Your Majesty."

The emperor looked slightly displeased. What? Was the blame placed on him?

The emperor's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "It was Minister Dong who first brought it up. I remember that."

The court officials immediately quieted down and stopped talking. His Majesty had already spoken. It was Dong Yi who was the one who made the mistake, and it had nothing to do with them.

Dong Yi's face was ashen, but he was unwilling to be a scapegoat: "Your Majesty, I am truly loyal!"

Si Yan sneered, "If the Minister of War truly cared about the country, he should have proposed this plan before the army set out, and had Prince Yong and the generals discuss it together. However, the Minister of War waited until Prince Yong had set out before urging Your Majesty to issue an order not to allow Prince Yong to send troops. This clearly shows that the Minister of War's true purpose is to sow discord between Your Majesty and Prince Yong."

"You! You are simply slandering me!" Dong Yi was so angry that his face turned red. He didn't expect that Si Yan would reveal their ultimate goal.

The emperor's eyes suddenly darkened, and he looked thoughtfully at all the civil and military officials in the court.

So, this was their ultimate goal? For Prince Xin, they treated Prince Yong like this?

Si Yan spoke calmly, "Master Dong's claim that I attracted the enemy is sheer nonsense. How could I summon the Beimang army and dismiss it at will? Isn't it because the Beimang Kingdom has been harassing our territory and plundering our people on the border that we decided to join forces with the Yan Kingdom to jointly resist the Beimang Kingdom?"

Si Yan's series of questions made many court officials blush.

Dong Yi's face was pale and his ears were buzzing. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Si Yan's cold and sharp eyes swept over him like a knife.

"As for what Lord Dong said about causing both Beimang and Yan to suffer losses, that is nothing but a pipe dream."
