"Gentlemen, please rise!" Mrs. Dong held a gilded hand warmer, her eyes red as if she had been crying.
She looked at Bai Qingqi and said solemnly, "A Qi, A Yu has already told your aunt that if this is truly a battle to annihilate Yan, you siblings cannot be absent. Dadu City has A Yun, your aunt, and the capable ministers; there will be no chaos! A Yun and your aunt will stabilize the rear for you... Go now!"
Bai Qingyun, sitting in a wheelchair just outside the door, looked intently at his third brother and nodded gently to him, "Third Brother, rest assured!"
Earlier, when the eldest sister wanted to use the gamble of national unification, Bai Qingyun was not very agreeable. However, the eldest sister said... Unifying the world in a way of gambling the nation is a method that others have not attempted.
Since there was no precedent to refer to in previous history, it would be more challenging than the path of military unification. But the eldest sister was willing to explore and move forward amid hardships because this method would be more gentle and better for the people and soldiers, even if it was a hundred times harder than the military path, she was willing to give it a try.
Bai Qingyun knew that this was not for fame but a willingness to spend time and effort to preserve soldiers’ lives and the people’s peace.
But now, since this path is impassable, the eldest sister, who is decisive when needed, will surely resolutely opt for military unification to annihilate Yan!
Now that his legs are crippled, he cannot ride alongside his eldest sister to the frontline battlefield, but he will send the newly crafted weapons to them from the rear, stabilizing the state of affairs for the eldest sister, ensuring they can charge forward without worry.
Similarly, Mrs. Dong is also well aware, even if her daughter’s situation did not put her in danger, and the Yan Kingdom royal family only targeted Xiao Rongyan, it seems that they cannot use the gentle method they once envisaged to unify!
Now, the only feasible way is military unification!
Setting aside Xiao Rongyan’s marital ties with her daughter and judging solely from diplomatic relations between the two countries, Xiao Rongyan is the Regent Prince of the Yan Kingdom. Zhou and the Yan Kingdom signed the "gambling country" pact during his regency. If the Regent Prince dies, they can use it as an excuse to refuse to acknowledge the gambling pact.
Afterward, these royal family and vassal kings would dethrone the young Yan Emperor and bring out the Yan Empress Dowager, who initially betrayed the bilateral pact, to silence the public critique. The mistakes would then be pinned on the Young Emperor of Yan and the Regent Prince, making it seem like they are rectifying disorders, giving Zhou a proper explanation.
If they still think like Bai Jintong’s letter suggested, naturally, they’d find ways to... disrupt Zhou at the same time.
How to disrupt Zhou?
That would be to kill the Emperor of Zhou, making the imperial family of Zhou embroiled in a storm of power struggles, leaving them unable to pay attention to the Yan Kingdom.
This is why A Yu insists on going to the Yan Kingdom, though reluctant to admit it... Bai Qingyan’s risk of being endangered is high.
Bai Qingqi looked at his firm and steady-minded aunt, then at his mother.
Madam Qi, the fifth lady, smiled reassuringly, "Go, I’ve already had someone pack your luggage! On this journey... make sure to protect your eldest sister and bring her back safely! We will follow your aunt into the palace, you take care on the front lines and don’t worry about us."
"Son will not fail the trust of mother!" Bai Qingqi bowed deeply to his aunt and mother.
