The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Chu Runxue?

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he looked past the imperial concubine and at Chu Runxue behind her!

Thinking of the previous Dihua Conspiracy and the recent Osmanthus Conspiracy, the emperor felt that perhaps Chu Runxue really had a strategy to fight against the Northern Zhou army.

This woman is very smart.

I heard that a truly smart person can drive the enemy thousands of miles away with just one strategy. Could it be that God wanted to help Daqi unify the world by letting him meet such a capable person?

"Please tell me and listen."

The court officials were very stunned. Many of them did not know that the Dihua Plan and the Osmanthus Scheme were actually the work of Chu Runxue, so they did not believe that she could have any good ideas.

Therefore, they found it extremely absurd at the moment. The emperor actually asked Chu Runxue to reveal the plan?

If Chu Runxue had a plan, I'm afraid the Chu father and son would not have failed in their first battle.

Someone immediately said, "Your Majesty, what good strategies can a woman have on the battlefield?"

Chu Runxue said: "You are men, and important officials of the court, so do you have any good strategies? If you don't have any good strategies, why do you think women don't have any?"

The courtier was choked, his face looked grim, and he snorted coldly: "I want to see what good plan you can come up with!"

Chu Runxue bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the Western Rong and Southern Qiang have been ready to make a move. We cannot lose this battle in the northern border. If we lose, the northern border will be broken, and the southern and western parts of Daqi will never be at peace. The three countries will invade Daqi at the same time. We will be attacked from three sides at the same time, and Daqi will be in danger!"

The emperor nodded.

It is because of this that the entire court is extremely concerned about this battle in the north. Otherwise, he would not be sitting here at dawn, unable to sleep.

“Before I tell you the strategy, let me tell you a story.

"I heard that in a remote mountain village, a father and son were traveling together. Unfortunately, the son was crushed by a huge rock that rolled down. The rock weighed about 400 to 500 kilograms, and one person could not move it.

"There was no village far away and no one nearby. The father saw that his child had suffered a great crime and that if he did not rescue him, his life would be in danger. At that critical moment, the father burst out with amazing strength and used his arms to push the boulder away from the child."

There was a cry of surprise in the Zichen Palace, and everyone listened with great interest. It was indeed a miracle.

Chu Runxue continued, "Afterwards, the father was exhausted and his arms were shaking. When he came to his senses, he was amazed that he could push the boulder away. It was incredible. Did his strength suddenly increase? But he tried to lift the boulder again, but failed again."

So?

Everyone was waiting for what was to come.

Chu Runxue said: "So, I think that when their loved ones are in danger, they will burst out with amazing strength! They can clear all obstacles just to save their loved ones. At the very least, they will fight to the death with the other party!

"I suggest that we invite the people from the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion to live in the palace for a while. When my father and brother return victorious, the people from the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion will go home! And we should send this news to my father and brother as soon as possible! Let them know that they are not only fighting for Daqi, but also for their loved ones!

"As a daughter of the Chu family, I am willing to set an example and stay in the palace, waiting for my father and brother to return triumphantly!"

Chu Runxue folded her hands and placed them on the ground, with her forehead also on the ground, kneeling down to pay homage.

There was silence in the Zichen Palace.

"If I understand correctly, Miss Chu wants to bring the Zhenbei Marquis's family, the close relatives of General Chu, to the palace as hostages, so as to force General Chu to unleash amazing power on the battlefield that they originally did not have?

"In other words, they were threatened with the lives of their loved ones to march forward bravely and never retreat, using their blood and flesh to block the long swords and iron bars of the Northern Zhou soldiers! It was a vicious plan, a very vicious plan!"

The person who spoke was the Imperial Censor Wen Tingshen.

He continued, "The Chu family has been guarding the border for nearly a hundred years, and countless descendants have died! When the northern border was in danger, General Chu was lame, but he still had to go to the battlefield; the fourth son loved reading, but he gave up writing and joined the army!

"If Your Majesty still wants to imprison their loved ones and threaten them with this despite their loyalty, it would be too cold-blooded and cruel! This is not the way that Daqi has always governed the country! I absolutely do not agree!"

The emperor did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at the courtiers below.

Yu Zijin said, "Why is Lord Wen so excited? I think this plan is feasible! After all, inviting people from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion into the palace is just to stay for a period of time, not to really imprison and abuse them. The emperor will definitely send people to take good care of them!"

Wen Tingshen said: "Yes, we can indeed trap them in the palace and provide them with good food and drink. But what will you say when you send people to the northern border? Wouldn't it make General Chu and others feel that their loved ones are trapped in the palace?

"If they win the battle, their loved ones will be safe. If they lose the battle, their loved ones will die! Isn't this the message you want to send to the North? Isn't it to force them to bleed?"

Everyone looked embarrassed.

Of course they hoped that Changqing City could be defended, but this strategy was indeed too cruel for the Chu family.

Chu Runxue said: "As a member of the Chu family, I don't feel wronged. For Daqi, I, Chu Runxue, am willing to give everything, and I believe the loyal Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is the same!"

Yu Zijin said, "Did Lord Wen hear that? For the battle in the northern border, the eldest daughter of the Chu family is willing to sacrifice herself. Lord Wen, why would you disagree?"

Wen Tingshen snorted coldly: "She is not the true blood of the Chu family, so of course she can sacrifice the people of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion!"

Chu Runxue said: "Lord Wen is wrong. It is precisely because I am not the true blood of the Chu family that I am more grateful to the Chu family for raising me for so many years! When my father and brothers know what I did today, they will definitely be proud of me! Besides, today's matter should not involve personal grudges. It is the court's business and Daqi's business!"

Prime Minister Zheng Wenkang said: "I can't think of a better way than this. Maybe Miss Chu's method can be tried. If we lose the battle, the Chu family father and son will die, and many soldiers who follow them will also die.

"Since we are all going to die, why not take an unconventional approach and use Miss Chu's method? Maybe we can really make them burst out with amazing power. Even if we can't win the battle, let the Northern Zhou soldiers see our determination to never retreat, and they will not dare to harass the border easily in the future."

After the prime minister spoke, other ministers also began to express their opinions.

Only a few people, like Wen Tingshen, disagreed.

But at least two-thirds of people are in favor of it.

The emperor glanced at everyone and said, "Since everyone agrees with Miss Chu's plan, then tomorrow I will invite the people from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to stay in the palace for a while. Let them wait for General Chu's triumphant return with me in the palace!"

He then looked at the historian and continued, "This is not a vicious plot, but the Chu family has been loyal for generations, and now they are guarding the northern border and fighting against the Northern Zhou army. They are really loyal.

"I really can't bear to see the people of Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion lonely, so I specially invited his whole family to the palace to take good care of them, so as to relieve the worries of General Chu and others."
